One of the imprints of death on a human life is the silence that it places on the once living human being. And the Holodomor of 1933 silenced many people for no other reason than that they spoke words in a language which was branded as unacceptable.
It seems incongruous to speak about love when talking about a man-made famine, and yet it is only normal and natural for humans to refer to love under all circumstances.
It almost seems incongruous to speak about justice when reflecting on the Holodomor because this word becomes absurd in the light of what transpired in 1933. What justice are we talking about? The event is so horrendous that it boggles the mind trying to grasp it.
Hope is a necessary component to being human. All tyrants, all who commit crimes against humanity always attack hope and take it away from the victims because they know how important hope is for humans, for remaining human.

Confucian teachings have perpetuated the belief that the role of a woman lies in reproduction and managing the household. Therefore, for folks who are aged over 55 today, they probably grow up in a society where it is common to have only one sole breadwinner in the family. An inconsequential result of this social norm in modern Singapore is that woman retirees today have had lesser years to build up their retirement savings. Many of them have low CPF balances and loyal forex's mother-in-law was unfortunately one of them. However, his father-in-law performed a CPF top-up to his spouse's retirement account several years ago after learning about the various pros and cons.
Therefore, when a CPF member with high CPF balances transfers funds from his CPF to the spouse's retirement account (assume CPF member is aged over 55), the household can potentially benefit from an overall higher interest income. Here is an illustration of a BEFORE and AFTER scenario for a household that performs a top up to a spouse's CPF account.
As Table 3 has illustrated, the household benefits from an additional $500 in annual interest income when the husband performs a top up to his wife's CPF account using his own CPF funds. Additional income has flowed into the household, all without them having to deposit a single cent extra.
It is this additional extra interest rate that inspires loyal forex to perform a cash top up to his parents instead of passing them a cash allowance.
As a bonus tip, if you already intend to do an annual top up, you may want to do it in January instead of December to earn higher interest as CPF interest is calculated on a monthly basis.
For technicality's sake, the act of topping up a loved one's CPF account, whether by cash or via a CPF transfer, is known as the Retirement Sum Topping-Up Scheme. To ensure that the benefits of the additional extra interest rate can reach a larger audience, the government has lowered the threshold on its eligibility.
Before 1 Jan 2016, only CPF savings above the Full Retirement Sum ('FRS') can be transferred to the spouse. However, it is now possible for CPF members to transfer their CPF funds to top up their spouse's CPF accounts after setting aside the BRS (Basic Retirement Sum) in their own CPF accounts.
Now that the threshold has been lowered, there can truly be no excuses for husbands to shower some generosity towards their wives. Furthermore, for members who are aged over 55, it is possible to receive such CPF transfers or cash top-ups to their Retirement Accounts up to the current Enhanced Retirement Sum ('ERS'). That's the maximum amount that can be topped-up and represents the next level of test on the strength of the spousal love between the soon-to-be retirees.
The homemaker spouse has probably worked just as hard, if not harder, to provide for the family. In ensuring that the household needs are taken care of, the husband can go out and work with a greater peace of mind. Unfortunately, there is little or no monetary reward for the housewife's contributions.
With the children all grown-up, it is still not too late to give a serious thought on building up a sizeable retirement nest. This is where the husband can show his token of appreciation by performing a CPF top up to the spouse's retirement account. In this way, she will have her own source of payouts from CPF LIFE. To still be financially dependent on her spouse in her retirement years could very well eat into her emotional security.
In Budget 2019, Finance Minister Heng Swee Keat announced that Singaporeans aged 50 to 64 in Year 2019 with less than $60,000 of retirement savings in their CPF accounts will receive a top-up of up to $1,000 into their CPF accounts. If you are a loving husband who has dutifully topped-up funds to your spouse's CPF account, your wife may miss out on this one-time handout from the government.
While this is slightly unfortunate, loyal forex hopes that those who missed out would realise that the household had already benefitted from several years of extra bonus interest generated as shown in Table 3. Even on hindsight, performing a CPF top up to a spouse retirement account still counts as a WIN for the family.
Having understood the merits of a top-up to a spouse's CPF account, loyal forex's father-in-law performed this act of love several years ago. The family's situation is exactly as described; the husband has adequate CPF funds as a result of years of CPF contributions from his continued employment while the wife (a homemaker) has insufficient CPF funds. With a fully-paid up housing mortgage, his father-in-law did a one-time transfer from his CPF funds into his mother-in-law's CPF RA.
loyal forex even earned some brownie points by helping the father-in-law to perform the CPF top-up. Here is his experience and hopefully, this can serve as a guide or reference for those who wish to perform a CPF top up to their loved ones.
Step 1: Login with your SingPass on the CPF website. Select 'My Requests' under my cpf Online Services to your left.
Step 3: Select 'Transfer from my CPF Accounts to my recipient's Retirement Account' if your spouse is over age 55. If your spouse if below 55 years old, select 'Special Account' instead.
Step 4: After acknowledging the disclaimer, choose 'Spouse' from one of the drop-down options. Please also include your spouse's NRIC/ CPF Account number and click 'Next'.
Step 5: Acknowledge the disclaimer and tick the declaration check box. Key in the magical amount to be transferred and attach any supporting documents (eg: a marriage certificate) if this is your first transfer.
The post Why Perform A CPF Top-Up To Spouse's Retirement Account appeared first on loyal forex.

List Of 10 Foods Considered Helpful To Fight Alzheimer's Disease
Infographic © herbs-info.com. Image sources: see foot of page
Alzheimer's disease is one of the most common health conditions to hit members of the older population. While Alzheimer's disease can also affect younger people, 5.2 million of those affected are aged 65 and older (out of the 5.4 million estimated cases of Alzheimer's disease in the USA). Because of the widely perpetuated idea that forgetfulness and poor memory is "normal" for older adults, a lot of people with Alzheimer's disease still go about their lives undiagnosed. [1]
Differentiating Dementia From Alzheimer's Disease
Dementia is not a disease but a collective of symptoms attributed to the normal aging process of the brain – a syndrome but not a disease. As the brain undergoes natural wear and tear over the years, its function becomes affected and eventually flawed. This causes problems with memory, mental agility, language, understanding, and judgment – but not as severe as the neurological decline seen in Alzheimer's disease. [2]
On the other hand, Alzheimer's disease is widely regarded as an irreversible and progressive condition that affects the brain and causes debilitating problems in day-to-day living. This is a slow-moving disease, often disregarded as dementia, with the affected person eventually losing the ability to perform basic skills of daily living like feeding one's self and practice self-care activities. They eventually become fully dependent on others for care. [3]
Risk factors for developing Alzheimer's disease include advanced age, familial history of the disease (a.k.a. genetics), hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, traumatic head injury, depression, and sleep disorders. However, the underlying cause of Alzheimer's disease is still unknown. [3]
10 Foods To Fight Alzheimer's Disease
#1 – Olive Oil
One of the most recent studies linking olive oil intake and Alzheimer's disease was published in 2015 by Rigacci. According to a review of recent literature, Rigacci concluded that the phenol content of olive oil was a promising substance to include in a person's diet to fight Alzheimer's disease. The review linked to other studies on the "Mediterranean diet" that uses olive oil as a main source of fat, leading to a reduced risk for heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline caused by advancing age. [4]
#2 – Legumes
Legumes are an excellent source of micronutrients without adding saturated and trans fat to the daily diet. While there are no significant studies that directly correlate legume intake with a decreased risk for Alzheimer's disease, Barnard, et. al. (2014) conclude that the nutrient content of legumes do decrease risk for cardiovascular and metabolic diseases — which are related to cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. [5]
#3 – Cheese
You might find cheese a strange item to include in this list but this is one of the few foods that has been directly linked to a preventative health strategy for Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Ano, et. al. concluded in a 2015 study that the intake of fermented dairy products like cheese exhibited a protective effect against cognitive decline due to significant anti-inflammatory and microglial phagocytic activity – two biological processes that help promote neural health. [6]
#4 – Walnuts
Muthaiyah, et. al. in 2014 found that dietary intake of walnuts was able to improve memory and learning skills in tests subjects affected by Alzheimer's disease. Walnuts were included in the diet for 10 months, with test subjects exhibiting improved memory, learning ability, motor development, and reduced anxiety – the opposite of which are characteristic symptoms seen in dementia and Alzheimer's disease. The study concluded that these brain-shaped nuts could possibly have beneficial effects in delaying the onset or progression of Alzheimer's disease. [7]
#5 – Flaxseeds
Flaxseeds are rich in Omega-3 fatty acids, a nutrient that has been correlated with early Alzheimer's disease prevention. Thomas, et. al.'s study published in 2015 focused on the role of omega-3s in prevention neurodegenerative disease and their results were very promising for dementia and Alzheimer's disease. Supplementation of omega-3s in the diet was able to either prevent or delay the onset of various forms of cognitive decline, improving the quality of life in adults. [8]
#6 – Salmon
The intake of fish, particularly salmon, has been linked to a reduced rate of cognitive decline by improving brain structure and function. Raji, et. al. in 2011 found that the consumption of broiled or baked fish was linked to a reduced risk for Alzheimer's disease in 260 individuals. While Dr. Raji didn't specify which kinds of fish in particular, salmon is a frontrunner because of its high omega-3 fatty acid content, which has also been strongly linked to Alzheimer's risk reduction. [9]
#7 – Broccoli
The vegetable that puts fear into the hearts of children has actually been found to exhibit strong neuroprotective effects against Alzheimer's disease, promoting brain health on a cellular level. Masci, et. al.'s study in 2015 introduced broccoli juice to the diet and found that the phenols in broccoli juice were able to reduce cytotoxicity and cell death in brain tissue, promoting brain health and function which lead to a decreased risk for Alzheimer's disease. [10]
#8 – Grapefruit
Grapefruits have high phenolic content that makes them excellent antioxidants. A study on a variety of fruit juices, grapefruits included, found that the phenols were able to scavenge free radicals and prevent the activation of acetylcholinesterase in the brain. This means that grapefruit juice is a great dietary addition to help prevent and manage Alzheimer's disease. [11]
#9 – Whole Grains
The consumption of whole grains has been linked to significant antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities that could fight a variety of chronic inflammatory diseases, Alzheimer's disease included. A composite of whole grains was used in the study – oat, barley, rice, wheat, and rye – all of which displayed significant abilities to fight Alzheimer's diseases (and chronic diseases like cardiac disease and diabetes). [12]
#10 – Strawberries
Berry fruits top the list for "antioxidant foods", able to fight inflammation caused by free radicals circulating in the bloodstream. According to Shukitt-Hale, Lau, & Joseph (2008), berry fruits, especially strawberries, were able to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation in brain tissue, promoting neuronal communication and improving overall brain function. This promotes brain health, specifically in the aging brain, which was the focus the 2008 study. [13]

Rasool becomes first J&K player to play for India
Off-spinner Parveez Rasool on Sunday became the first cricketer from Jammu and Kashmir to represent India in a One-Day International when he took the field against Bangladesh in the series-opener here.
The 25-year-old, who hails from the town of Bij Behara in the southern Kashmir valley district of Anantnag, was first selected for the Indian team in the 2013 tour of Zimbabwe but could not make the playing XI on that trip.
He picked up two for 60 off 10 overs on his international debut.
Rasool finally managed to break into the team in the ongoing series from which India has rested some key players such as regular skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan and Rohit Sharma.
He was also the first cricketer from the state to get an IPL contract when he signed up for the now defunct Pune Warriors. He turned up for Sunrisers Hyderabad the goneby IPL season.
Rasool was a outstanding performer for Jammu & Kashmir in the 2012-13 Ranji Trophy season. He finished as the team`s its top scorer and highest wicket-taker.
Rasool scored 594 runs at 54 with two centuries, and claimed 33 wickets at 18.09 to finish as the third-highest wicket-taker among spinners in the tournament in the seven games he played for his state.

Gadsden Flag License Plates: A Nationwide Movement?
We are on a roll. The great resurgence of American patriotism fueled by the Tea Party revolt made its voice heard this November 2nd. Not only did the corrupt Democrat Congress suffer a big reversal, but more importantly, Republicans won the largest majority of state houses they have had since 1928, and made a net gain of ten governorships, now holding a majority of 29 to 18. This is critical to the redistricting that will determine Party control for the next ten years, and is a serious setback for the Left.
In keeping with the Tea Party's spirit of resistance and freedom, you may soon be able to express your defiance with a Gadsden Flag license plate. As reported first by Right Side News in October, the original idea was the brainchild of Virginia Tea Party group 912 Richmond. On October 14thHenrico County, Virginia, Delegate John O'Bannon proposed HB 1418 to make this plate official.
Sure. But who would ever expect the Democrats, whose entire agenda is driven by inflated, phony symbolism and "commentary" like that of liberal Bill Maher, (shown at right) to get behind patriotic symbolism for a change? Do they still not get it? Really?
George Soros got it. So much so, he backed America Votes, an ACORN-like organization which specifically targeted key states that promised the largest redistricting advantages. America Votes' Redistricting Control Project, was behind the massive Democrat vote fraud in Houston Texas and possibly the mysterious fire that destroyed 10,000 voting machines there.
It didn't do the Democrats any good. Soros' Redistricting Control Project lost every single one of its target states. He claimed he would sit this election out. As usual, he lied, but should have followed his own advice. How sweet it is.
The rattlesnake is found in no other corner of the world except America.
I confess I was wholly at a loss what to make of the rattles, 'till I went back and counted them and found them just thirteen, exactly the number of the Colonies united in America; and I recollected too that this was the only part of the Snake which increased in numbers.
So let's start setting off alarms!
Texans have picked up the torch and drivers in Texas may soon be able to get a Gadsden Flag license plate too.
If it isn't the beginning of a nationwide movement, it should be. National Public Radio did a segment last March, claiming that the spirit of resistance symbolized by the Gadsden flag is inappropriate for Tea Partiers, who should instead think of Shay's Rebellion and Timothy McVeigh as their spiritual brethren. Simply stunning.
NPR is a taxpayer funded organization. Is this not yet another justification fordefunding NPR? That deliberate mischaracterization has the smell of fear all over it. How wonderful would it be to see Gadsden plates wherever you traveled? It will drive the left even further around the bend than they already are. And that is saying something!
Not all have been successful. Kentucky's Transportation bureaucracyrejected an application for an "In God We Trust" license plate because "the plate was designed to promote a specific religion: Christianity," according to Fox 41. Here we go again. Some Transportation attorney bars a slogan currently found on all U.S. currency and coin and which represents a bedrock principle of our founders, as being discriminatory. This is insane, and yet another explanation for the ascendancy of the Tea Party.
Indiana faced a similar hurdle, though in that case, the government fought forthe "In God We Trust" license plate, successfully defeating a lawsuit brought by the ACLU. Remember, the ACLU gets paid with your tax dollars every time they win an establishment clause case–yet another reason to reclaim our government.
November 2nd has passed and the results are in. Now the real work begins. The Gadsden flag license plate is a great way to express the spirit of patriotic resolve, and lets the left know we are here to stay. So let's make Gadsden go nationwide. Here is a website with links to motor vehicle departments for every state.

AESG would like to thank Ace Body Corporate for hosting a successful conference for 2018. The AESG team had the opportunity to continue our tradition of hosting the opening Cocktail Party, as well as becoming a first-time exhibitor at their biennial conference.
AESG's Managing Director Kim Rockman and Ace Body Corporate's CEO Stephen Raff have developed a close and robust friendship and working relationship, evident in AESG's continual contribution to the Ace Body Corporate Cocktail Party since 1996.
We had a great time catching up with managers we have met before and were thankful for the opportunity to put faces to names of new Ace Body Corporate managers.
We are looking forward to the next Ace Conference and many more to come. Thanks again for a wonderful time in beautiful Tasmania!

Thank you to the REIV team for letting AESG be a part of this conference!

Nutella is some of the best stuff on Earth- and we go nuts for it!
One of our favorite ways to cook with Nutella is by baking it into treats like brownies and banana bread. That's right – imagine digging into freshly baked goodies, made even more delicious with a layer of Nutella. Talk about a dessert upgrade!
For Nutella brownies, we love this recipe from the food blog Sally's Baking Addiction, which author Sally McKenney tops with sea salt (yum!).
And for Nutella banana bread, check out this recipe from Desirée Campbell's blog, The 36th Avenue. She enhances her banana bread by swirling Nutella across the top of the batter- delicious, right?
Once you've had a taste of baked goods made with Nutella, you'll definitely be adding it to your dessert rotation. But how about washing it down with a beverage? Nutella's got that covered, too. In the summer months, beat the heat with a thick Nutella milkshake – the addition of Nutella will make it extra rich and decadent. And when it gets chilly later in the year, stir Nutella into hot chocolate for a unique take on the wintertime favorite. YUM.
Brownies, banana bread, shakes, and hot cocoa – these are just a few of the many ways you can incorporate Nutella into your recipes. And don't be afraid to come up with your own unique chocolate-hazelnutty concoctions.
After all, everything tastes good with Nutella in it (well, almost everything).
It all looks so delicious! I need to try this! That Banana bread looks amazing!
We think the banana bread looks awesome, too, especially with the creamy Nutella center. Yum! Thanks for your comment, Vanessa!

You made it! Just this one little (half, at this point) day left until the glorious weekend ahead. Hoping you have some downtime factored into your plans, but maaaaybe also a little space for a "no-fail" mindfulness challenge. They can be one in the same, you know. Plus, I really think you're gonna like where this one's coming from.
Earlier this week, we tackled an old friend we all carry around with us, often in the back of our minds but sometimes right front and center: the inner monologue. It's the voice that tells us what we're "good" at and what we have no business even trying, as well as how what we're doing – or even contemplating doing – fits into some larger narrative that either bodes well or leads to catastrophe. It's the voice that pretends to be your best friend, your strategic advisor, and your coach all in one. It's usually about one mission, though, and that is keeping you safe.
Of course, safe is nice and actually quite important in certain contexts, but in others, it's a bit of a false promise. You may actually be "safe," but you're also stuck, rooted either in self-doubt or the state I affectionately refer to as "analysis paralysis," so entranced by the back and forth of your internal narrative that you're listening closely without doing much else.
This weekend, you're going to ask that voice to drop the mic – and not in a badass kinda way. Maybe it's more that you're going to gently remove the mic from the grip it's become used to having on your attention.
Your "no-fail" mindfulness challenge is about those pep talks you're so good at offering to others, but that tend to take on a harsher tone when directed to yourself. Time for a script revision. Time to take back the mic.
When thoughts pop up in a mindfulness practice, our goal is usually to let them pass by without engaging with them. In fact, the ability to train yourself to do that is a core skill of a mindful lifestyle. This weekend, however, we're going to offer a gentle, thoughtful but effective counter to the storyline our brains have become so comfortable offering up.
Start by finding a few minutes to catch your breath. Work with a guided or recorded meditation, or simply use the pace of your breath as a focal point. Maybe inhale to a steady count of 1…2…3….4, and exhale to the same. Find your breath, find your groove, and settle in.
Exhale: …to do everything I decide to do.
Repeat, for at least 5 rounds, preferably more. In fact, a great way to layer into this challenge would be to go one more round than you actually want to. You always have one more in you, and it will probably be less uncomfortable than that voice in your head is telling you it will be.
Life is full of scary moments, and challenges we don't think we're up to. My personal belief, however, is that you wouldn't be staring right at them if that were true. So this weekend, find your breath and then, find your voice. While it does sometimes seem to have a mind of its own, it's yours, and it can't tell you anything that you don't want to hear.

The purpose of this article is to present an argument supporting the view that the ideology driving the notion of New Public Management (NPM) is not a new or recent aspect of public sector financial reform. Rather, back in the early nineteenth century, significant public discussions were exploring the pros and cons of various financial reforms based on this ideology. The research approach taken in this study is based on a semi-fictitious conversation created between key early nineteenth century public commentators, Sir Henry Parnell and Sir Samuel Bentham. The conversation is constructed through a reflection of the key themes and perspectives presented in Sir Henry Parnell's pamphlet 'On financial reform', first edition published in 1830, and Sir Samuel Bentham's 1830 letter in response titled 'Financial reform scrutinized'.

Baseline Media Brand Identity
Baseline Media is a production company that distributes sporting analysis and stories in the form of animated videos, focusing on both familiar and the more unknown topics. Although the videos are factual, they are not reactive and in the 24/7 news cycle. I was fortunate enough to work on the branding for the company and was asked to deliver a logo and brand guidelines.
Although the initial launch is focused on tennis, the brand identity should not be solely focused on a 'tennis' construct, but have the flexibility to cater for multiple sporting verticals. Whilst the personality would be consistent throughout, the logo would need to be adapted for the respective sporting verticals. The personality of Baseline Media is honest and informative and strives to be seen as authoritative. Therefore the content must not come across as banter or tribal led.
The target audience consists of a predominately male audience, 24 - 45 years of age. It is primarily aimed at people in the UK but will have a global reach, albeit to lesser extent, USA, Canada, Australia & Western Europe.
The master logo uses a rhombus shape to frame the Baseline Media wordmark. This is inspired by the outlines that is often seen for a court or field in various sports. More importantly, it can be used to frame images and text, bringing different sports and topics together under one style. This format allows the brand to use different colour schemes to differentiate between sports but still keep within the Baseline Media brand.
Above are some different logo lockups that could be used to differentiate between sports.
Baseline Media's intention is to be seen as an informative presence which has been factored into each part of the brand. Using a cartoon effect on each image gives the illusion that the image has been drawn out and creates a feeling that it is part of a story.
As the first impression, the introduction animation was crucial to the brand. The length is very short since it will primarily be used for YouTube which is known for its fast paced environment. With that in mind it was important to get straight into the video.

L. Hodgkin — A History of Mathematics: From Mesopotamia to Modernity
Название: A History of Mathematics: From Mesopotamia to Modernity
Автор: L. Hodgkin
A History of Mathematics covers the evolution of mathematics through time and across the major Eastern and Western civilizations. It begins in Babylon, then describes the trials and tribulations of the Greek mathematicians. The important, and often neglected, influence of both Chinese and Islamic mathematics is covered in detail, placing the description of early Western mathematics in a global context. The book concludes with modern mathematics, covering recent developments such as the advent of the computer, chaos theory, topology, mathematical physics, and the solution of Fermat's Last Theorem. Containing more than 100 illustrations and figures, this text, aimed at advanced undergraduates and postgraduates, addresses the methods and challenges associated with studying the history of mathematics. The reader is introduced to the leading figures in the history of mathematics (including Archimedes, Ptolemy, Qin Jiushao, al-Kashi, al-Khwasizmi, Galileo, Newton, Leibniz, Helmholtz, Hilbert, Alan Turing, and Andrew Wiles) and their fields. An extensive bibliography with cross-references to key texts will provide invaluable resource to students and exercises (with solutions) will stretch the more advanced reader.

Baroka's bid to bring in the Zambian duo of Justin Shonga and Brian Mwila has failed with the latter now having signed for Platinum Stars.
Baroka had been keen on the duo who they had also offered contracts yet the club failed in their attempts to lure the two to Limpopo.
"Brian was our main target, with Justin someone we wanted so that they settle in well," says club CEO Morgan Mammila.
Both Shonga and Mwila excelled at the COSAFA Castle Cup played in the North West province recently.
KickOff.com has established that Mwila was offered a better deal at Dikwena which motivated his decision to choose the North West province instead of Limpopo.
Baroka already have five foreigners on their books in Lewis Macha (Zambia), Abdi Banda (Tanzania), Talent Chawapiwa (Zimbabwe), Mpho Kgaswane (Botswana) and Robin Ngalande (Malawi).
Umwaiche Brian Mwila mukali, ask Chris Katongo.
He is okay but cannot stand the whirlwind of West African opponents as he lacks pace just like Justin, the boys are just goal poaches but they are much better than Mbesuma/Kalengo/Jacob strike force.
Why rush playing for small teams?

For all of you who enjoy commentary and history on each selection, that can still be found at the Dreamtime blog (that's right here!).
From all of us to all of you, a safe and Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year!
~ Fred, Jailbait, Joyride, Shaggy Bear, and Curly Lasagna
1. At the Christmas Ball - Bessie Smith.
Reportedly the very first Christmas Blues song ever recorded, way back on November 18, 19 and 25 in New York City. Bessie shares vocals with Joe Smith who's also on cornet, Charlie Green is on trombone, and Fletcher Henderson is sitting at the piano.
At the Christmas Ball would become the center of a lawsuit between Jack Gee Jr., Smith's adopted son and heir, and Columbia Records. The song was originally rejected by Columbia, and wasn't released until 1951 when a researcher found it buried in the Columbia vaults - still with a ledger sheet attached noting Rejected and the column recording payment to Smith left blank. Gee's lawyers maintained that since Smith had never been paid for the song her estate still owned full rights to it, and Columbia was liable for damages.
Unfortunately for Gee, by the time the suit was brought in the mid `70s, "Columbia's arguably wrongful possession of exclusive rights to 'At the Christmas Ball' [had] ripened into complete and perfect ownership, good against Bessie Smith's estate...." according to the court, and he lost the case.
2. Christmas Island - Bob Atcher and the Dinning Sisters.
Here's the version I mentioned in my video post featuring the Andrews Sisters. Recorded in 19 and 50, I like this one better than the Andrews' more standard orchestral version because it's a good representative example of how Hawaiian music crept into both country swing and pop music.
As I mentioned in that earlier post, the Dinning Sisters were another "sisters" singing act that, while not remembered as well as The Andrews Sisters, had no small measure of success during their career. The Dinning Sisters' biggest hit was the million seller Buttons and Bows, originally featured in the Bob Hope movie, "Paleface. " One of the sisters, Jean, would later turn her hand to songwriting and pen a hit for her younger brother Mark with Teen Angel.
Known as the "Dean of Cowboy Singers," most of Bob Atcher's collaborations were with singer "Bonnie Blue Eyes," (Loretta Applegate) or his younger brother Randy. He probably hooked up with the Dinning Sisters when he joined their "National Barn Dance" radio show on Chicago station WLS in 19 and 48. As far as I can tell, Christmas Island was the only song Atcher and the Dinnings ever recorded together.
3. Jingle Jangle Jump - The Dexter Gordon Quartet (featuring Gladys Bentley).
A rara avis (that's a hard-to-find rental car) indeed with a Theme Time Radio Hour connection. Gladys "Fatso" Bentley as the vocalist on 19 and 52's Jingle Jangle Jump, backed by Dexter Gordon and his group.
Bentley showed up in TTRH Season 1's Summer episode, singing Juneteenth Jamboree. Dylan refers to Bentley as "Fatso," and to her as "him" in his commentary during that show. But while Bentley did perform under the "Fatso" nickname for a time, "he" was actually a "she," an openly gay performer who was well-known during the Harlem Renaissance of the `20s, and who once announced an "engagement" to her white, lesbian lover in the New York City society columns.
By the late `30s, Bentley had moved to California, where she maintained her career in a small way at lesbian and gay bars, although with nowhere near the flamboyant success of her Harlem days. Jingle Jangle Jump was recorded towards the end of her performing career. The same year she'd renounce lesbianism, claimed to have married two different men, and eventually devote herself to her church, The Temple of Love in Christ, Inc. Bentley was about to become a minister in that church when she died at age 52 in 19 and 60.
4. Christmas Mornin' Blues - Kansas City Kitty.
New Year he won't be here, 'cause death will be his Santa Claus.
At one time, the term "Santa Claus" was used in the black community to mean a Christmas gift as well as the Jolly Old Elf. Thus, "death will be his Santa Claus," and the title of one of the stranger Christmas songs ever recorded, Junior's a Jap Girl's Christmas for his Santa Claus, where the singer, a soldier in WWII, promises to bring back an enemy skull for his son's Christmas present.
Kansas City Kitty was the title of a tune released in 1929 by Harry Reser's Syncopators, and the pseudonym of a blues singer working between 1930 and `34, possibly Jane Lucas, Mozelle Anderson or Victoria Spivey, with most historians split between Lucas and Anderson as the real identity of "Kitty." Whoever she was, Kitty usually worked with "Georgia Tom" on piano, full name Thomas Dorsey, but not that Tommy Dorsey.
5. Did You Spend Christmas Day in Jail? - The Reverend J.M. Gates.
He's talking to you, you Midnight Rambler! Recorded sermons were among the most popular of the so-called "race records" of the `20s and `30s, and Gates was was one of the most popular sermonizers, cutting over two hundred recordings between 1926 up to his death in 1941.
The Good Reverend liked Christmas especially to belabor and rescue his sinning congregation. Did You Spend Christmas Day in Jail? was his follow-up to an earlier recording, Will You Have Christmas Dinner in Jail?, and variations on the theme included Will Hell Be Your Santa Claus? Death Might Be Your Santa Claus, and You May Be Alive or You May Be Dead, Christmas Day.
6. White Christmas - Patti Smith.
We edge dangerously close to Dr. Demento territory with this cut, but I think Patti's sincerity, if uneven reading of the Christmas classic, makes it a worthwhile addition. Sometimes mistakenly identified as a bootleg, this was the 1978 A-side of a (somewhat) officially released 45 recorded in support of musician/producer Lenny Kaye's launch of an independent label.
Unfortunately, Smith was already under contract to another label, so the single was credited to a "R.E.F.M." Fans have speculated that the acronym stands for anything from "Records Exist For Music" to "Radio Ethiopia Field Marshal," but the exact meaning remains unknown, as does the producer of the single, who may have been Todd Rundgren or Lenny Kaye himself.
7. Papa Ain't No Santa Claus (Mama Ain't No Christmas Tree) - Butterbeans & Susie.
Jodie and Susie Edwards stage act of Butterbeans & Susie was considered a bit too raunchy for polite company, but they were one of the top comedy music teams on the minstrel show and vaudeville circuits during the `20s and `30s. Their typical act featured a duet, a blues song by Susie, a cakewalk dance and a comedy sketch, interspersed with rounds of marital bickering, usually centered on Butterbean's ah, "shortcomings."
Papa Ain't No Santa Claus is a classic example of one of their comic songs, filled with double entendres and almost the equal to Susie's signature number, I Want a Hot Dog for My Roll.
8. Shake Hands with Santa Claus - Louis Prima.
Perennial TTRH favorite Louis Prima recorded several Christmas-themed songs including Senor Santa Claus; Santa Claus, How Come Your Eyes Are Green When Last Year They Were Blue?; and his first, best-known, and arguably best Santa song, What Will Santa Claus Say When He Finds Everybody Swinging? from 19 and 36. Prima even did a turn as the voice of Santa Claus on wife Keely Smith's recording of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Since TTRH had What Will Santa Claus Say... on its Christmas playlist last (and this) year, Dreamtime weighs in with Prima's Shake Hands with Santa Claus from 19 and 51. Maybe next year we'll be back with that musical question, Santa Claus, How Come Your Eyes Are Green When Last Year They Were Blue?
9. Christmas around the World - Christmas in Jamaica - Brent Dowe and Christmas in Vegas - Dale Watson.
We pair these two up, as Dreamtime is dreaming of anyplace warm and without the white stuff - and we don't mean cocaine - on this snowy New Hampshire day. Brent Dowe is probably best-known for his work with The Melodians, and for Rivers of Babylon. The Melodians sold over 75,000 copies of their version, but the song was a mega-hit for Boney M. Their version of the song charted at #1 for 5 weeks in the U.K. Dowe also had a successful career as a single act, before passing away much too early in 2006 at age 59.
Someone once said of Dale Watson that he plays country like country was when country was country, a sentiment Our Host would probably approve of. Watson rejects the "country" label these days, but whatever he's playing, I like his Elvis-flavored Christmas in Vegas, which has a nod to the King's Viva Las Vegas. If you like what you hear, you can find more info about Dale at his Web site.
10. The Only Thing I Want for Christmas - Eddie Cantor.
We're closing out tonight's Christmas show with a song that was a new discovery for me, and my current Christmas favorite - Eddie Cantor and the Mitchell Choir's 1939 single, The Only Thing I Want for Christmas. If you've been cruising these here interwebs for the past month or so, you may have already come across The Only Thing... as it's been featured on several popular sites, including BoingBoing.
I love the recording, Cantor's vocals, and especially the sentiment, which I think a good way too close...
What do I want for Christmas? Well it's simple and its plain.
It isn't tied with ribbons or wrapped in cellophane
If Santa passes by my stocking, I promise not to mind a lot
The only thing I want for Christmas is
just to keep the things that I've got
A pair of loving arms around me, a garden of forget-me-not
The only thing I want for Christmas
is just to keep the things that I've got.
May you all have a Merry Christmas,
and may you keep the things you have.

Dreamtime weighs in with Prima's Shake Hands with Santa Claus from 19 and 51.
THis is more funny if you know that L. Prima had just ONE hand.

Intervention Tool: Make More Confident Decisions Using the Best Available Evidence for Homelessness Interventions
Centre for Homelessness Impact
The Tool provides one-page overviews for each of the main interventions in homelessness. At a glance, the overviews give ratings for how reliable the body of evidence is, how cost effective the intervention is and what kind of impact it has for people experiencing homelessness. These measures represent an aggregate of the available studies.
Each overview will also provide a breakdown of the findings from the body of evidence, including detail on what the body of evidence says about how the intervention works, which population groups and outcomes it affects and where in the world the evidence comes from. As the evidence base grows, particularly with the inclusion of process evaluations (which will tell us about how interventions have been implemented), we will also be including a section that covers considerations for implementation.

From the numbers of inhabitants to Heraklion only being on place two Chania is however the perhaps most beautiful city on Crete. Before one can discover and enjoy this beauty however, it applies first of all to maintain ground in the heart of the city center. Particularly with the motorcycle (without protecting sheet metal around itself) it is to be tormented again and again exciting, by the close road courses, until one finally reaches the Platia Sofoukli Venizelou, the central traffic junction of the city. Where the German normal driver expects if necessary three lanes, it is enough here loosely for five, sometimes lauern six vehicles next to each other before a red traffic light.
The port is actually in Souda Bay, but there are buses and taxis available to take you right into the city. The bus will leave you at the market place near the old town. There are hotels all over the city but the ones overlooking the harbor are probably where you want to be.

Q: passing/modifying a FileOutputStream I'm writing a C++ program which should continuously write to a text file inside an OnIdle event loop (BTW, I'm using wxWidgets -3.0.3 and Visual Studio 17). For this purpose, I'm creating a TextOutputStream as described in the code below inside GetData().
Here gui_magsens->GetFilePath() simply gets a file path from a wxFilePickerCtrl and ActivateDataLoop(true) triggers the OnIdle loop. Now, what I would like to have is a global reference to my tos so that I can use it inside the OnIdle loop without having to create it (and close it) every iteration(not efficient and leads me to unhandled exceptions). What is the best (or cleanest) way to achieve this? What I have found so far is that you could use a pointer to the stream (as shown below), which compiles fine, but throws me a "read access violation" exception(apparently expected as the pointer points to an already "dead" stream). Also, is there a neat workaround without using pointers?
//----main.h----//

//...bunch of variables and functions
wxFileOutputStream* pFos;
wxTextOutputStream* pTos;

//---main.cpp----//

void wxMagSens::GetData()
{
//create stream
wxString f_path = gui_magsens->GetFilePath();
wxFileOutputStream fos(f_path);
wxTextOutputStream tos(fos, wxEOL_NATIVE, wxConvUTF8);
//ptrs
pFos = &fos;
pTos = &tos;
ActivateDataLoop(true);
}

void wxMagSens::OnIdleDataLoop(wxIdleEvent & evt)
{
  //write to file
  pTos->WriteDouble(some_double);//Here's the exception
  //etc...
}

int wxMagSens::OnExit()
{
//USBInterface.USBClose();
if(pFos->IsOk()){ pFos->Close();}
return 0;
}

Audi GrandSphere concept shows how autonomy opens new design avenues
By Ronan Glon	 September 2, 2021
Audi's follow-up to the shape-shifting SkySphere, the GrandSphere, takes the form of a luxurious sedan with a striking silhouette, electric power, and autonomous technology. It was designed as a concept car, and a highly futuristic one at that, but it's also a preview of the technology the firm will inject into its range in the coming years.
Presented online ahead of a debut at the 2021 Munich auto show, the GrandSphere embodies a new way of designing a flagship sedan. Oliver Hoffmann, Audi's board member for technical development, told Digital Trends that the model was created from the inside out, meaning the interior was completed before the exterior. It stretches about 210 inches long, so it's approximately as big as the current A8, but it rides on an unusually long wheelbase.
Interestingly, the electric powertrain is part of what shaped the GrandSphere's lines. "It is not possible to develop such a car with these proportions on a platform designed for internal combustion engines," explained Hoffmann. That's because an electric motor is far more compact than a gasoline- or a diesel-powered engine, so stylists are able to extend the wheelbase (which creates a more spacious cabin) while reducing the size of the front and rear overhangs.
What's under the sheet metal is far more realistic than you might assume. Audi built the GrandSphere on the PPE platform it's developing jointly with Porsche to underpin a wide variety of production-bound electric models, like the next-generation Macan. Power comes from a pair of electric motors that draw electricity from a massive, 120-kilowatt-hour battery pack to zap the four wheels with 710 horsepower and 708 pound-feet of torque. Audi pegs the concept's zero-to-60-mph time at about four seconds and its maximum driving range at about 466 miles. Each motor is positioned above one of the axles, so the system delivers through-the-road Quattro all-wheel-drive.
Combining autonomous and electric technologies is a cocktail that opens a new world of possibilities in the realm of interior design. Step inside, and you'll notice the GrandSphere is not equipped with a dashboard in the conventional sense of the term. It's a layout that makes the cabin significantly more spacious. There are no screens, which is highly unusual in 2021, so the infotainment system's contents are projected on a piece of wood trim below the windshield. Passengers can use a new feature called MMI Touchless Response to navigate the different menus; they can notably configure a scenic route and find hotels, restaurants, and other interest points on their way to their destination.
Users who want to drive can turn off the level four technology and summon a steering wheel and pedals from the compartment under the windshield. Otherwise, the GrandSphere handles most driving situations on its own.
While the system is still under development, and Hoffmann told me it's too early to talk about the kind of hardware it will rely on, what's already clear is that autonomous cars will initially deliver a ride that's comfortable, safe, and predictable. Autonomous technology is still in its infancy, regardless of what CES has promised us, and some motorists remain very skeptical about letting a computer shuttle them to work — or pick up their kids from school.
"For the first level four cars, it's not so important to deliver a sporty drive. We're focusing on safety, and on what the customer — who is no longer the driver — feels. People have to be convinced that they're safe in this highly automated driving situation, so what they feel when the car is cornering and accelerating is very important," he explained. However, his background includes developing some of Audi's quickest and best-handling models, like the V10-powered R8 sports car, and he's not leaving that behind. "In the future, the next step will be maybe to make things a little more sporty; maybe you'll be able to choose whether you want more comfort or more sport," he added.
While the GrandSphere will not reach production as you see it in our gallery, it's an accurate preview of the design cues and the technology features that Audi wants to incorporate into its future models in the not-too-distant future.
"Lots of the design [will reach production], of course, but the tech and the digitalization inside will also be seen on future production vehicles we'll be working on for the middle of the decade," exterior designer Amar Vaya told me.
Realistically, level four technology has a long way to go before it ends up in a showroom near you, but bringing it to production is a goal that Audi and its sister companies will continue to work towards. "I'm convinced we'll see level four use cases in the middle of the decade," Hoffmann noted, adding that there is a high demand for it in China.
