Canada to Welcome 350,000
Immigrants per Year By 2021
Apply for Canada PR, and get a lifetime of benefits for you and your family. Set to be a global migrant hub Canada Immigration is as good as it gets!
Invitation To Apply
The Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) reserve the right to issue an ITA for Canada PR to aspiring immigrant with an existing and valid Express Entry Profile. The issuance of these invites is based on selection under the CRS ranking when IRCC draws a significant number of applicants from the Express Entry pool.
We advise you, not to confuse the ITA with a Canadian job offer or a Provincial Nomination Certificate, as it is an auto-generated letter issued to eligible Express Entry candidates – at or above the cut-off point announced after the draw - who have made an expression of interest in immigrating to Canada. Once you're invited to apply for permanent residence in Canada, you'll receive a notification telling you what to do next.
How you can obtain an invite to apply (ITA) for Canada?
Candidates qualifying with minimum 67 points under the selection criteria of the federal economic immigration program may enter the Express Entry pool. The components for CRS are as follows:
Core human capital factors;
Accompanying Spouse or Common-Law Partner Factors, if applicable;
Skill Transferability Factors; and
Other factors relating to a Provincial Nomination, a job offer, prior study in Canada, blood relations in Canada, or proof of French language ability.
Once you are in the Express Entry pool with sufficient CRS score, the Canadian Federal Govt. issues ITA's to those who are meeting the required minimum CRS cut-off score released at the time of the draw.
Nevertheless, you can improve your chances of receiving an ITA by
Improving your language skills and getting better English Language test score.
Updating your education.
Getting more relevant work experience.
Searching for connections in any provinces and territories for the Provincial Nominee Program.
Contacting any employer hiring for immigrants to Canada to secure a valid job offer under the NOC O, A, and B.
Claiming points for blood relations.
As per the Canada immigration news, every candidate who has received an ITA would have 90 days to apply, rather than 60 days which was the previously time allotted by the Canada High Commission. And if by any chance you miss-out on the 90-day deadline, the Invitation to Apply issued to you will no longer be valid and that you have to create a fresh Express Entry Profile. If, however you decide to decline your Invitation to Apply, you will be placed back into the Express Entry pool to be considered for future rounds of invitations, as long as your profile remains valid for federal economic immigration program.

RCIC Representative - Yvon Guerin
Canada being an important immigration destination, the focus has shifted to the role of the immigration consultancies and representatives towards facilitating the smooth progress of their clients' immigration process. The Citizenship and Immigration Canada clearly defines who can represent his application with the department as an authorized representative. Amongst them is Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants (RCIC), who needs to be members in good standing of the Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (http://www.iccrc-crcic.ca/home.cfm).
Immigration Consultants who are either not a lawyer or notary or an RCIC cannot and are not allowed to represent you with any Canadian government agency or immigration department. A consultant or agent not meeting requirements of either of the 3 qualifying categories simply cannot act as authorized representative and is just acting as a documentation guide. And, if you wish to hire such a representative, then you might as well file directly; as such agents do not have any right to follow- up on your behalf.
Canada Government certified Immigration consultant is your assurance of quality and are equipped with the latest information on immigration law, procedures and practices, and they go about their business according to a strict, enforceable Code of Conduct of ICCRC. To become certified consultants, one must pass a rigorous application process, which requires evidence of good character, and tests knowledge and language skills. For added security and client protection, the certified consultants are fully insured for errors and omissions, and they can be subject to complaints that are all duly investigated by Immigration Consultants of Canada Regulatory Council (ICCRC). The Council's mandate is to protect the consumers of immigration consulting services and also ensure the competent and professional conduct of its members. Thus, you can formally complain to the ICCRC for any misdeed or professional misconduct of a Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultant (RCIC). No such course is available when you hire an unauthorized immigration representative or a plain vanilla documentation company or consultant to manage your Permanent Resident Visa application for Immigration to Canada. In addition, such an unauthorized representative would not have been formally educated in Canadian
Immigration laws, or gets an opportunity to update knowledge on regular and ongoing basis. What you get is from an unauthorized immigration representative is the information available on the Internet -- something that you are already may be aware of!
The Government of Canada and the related Canada Immigration office will not deal with non-authorized representatives who are paid a consulting fee for their service. This key benefit and value addition come your way when you deal with an authorized immigration representative, or with a company that offers you the services of such an authorized representative. Much more importantly, such a representative has adequate knowledge of immigration laws to deal effectively with immigration agencies, on your behalf and can represent you effectively in addressing Canada Immigration Office queries, refusal and rebuttals.
Beware of companies that mention that they are offering representation of an authorized representative on their website but whose services are actually not available on the contract you are signing as a client! They are cheating you without saying so. In fact, the package they are offering does not carry services of authorized representative. When you dig deeper, they say that services are available but at higher fee. You MUST get all clarifications on this critical area and one-way of asking them is at whose address (email/postal) is available with CIC as regards your application. If you are informed that it is YOUR mailing address, then your antenna should go up.

Q: what is the better practice to allocate 2d array in C I am writing a program for MD simulation, in which I need to use dynamically allocated 2D array. For performance reasons, I want the memory the the 2D array is a consecutive chunk. There are two ways I know to do this

*

*Use VLA in C99.

size_t rows, cols;
int (*arr)[cols] = malloc(sizeof *arr * rows);
if (arr)
{
  // do something here

  free(arr);
}

*Use pointer to pointer

int **create(int **arr, int rows, int cols)
{
  int nbytes = sizeof(int) * rows * cols;
  int *data = (int *) malloc(nbytes);
  nbytes = sizeof(int *) * rows;
  arr = (int **)malloc(nbytes);
  int n = 0;
  for (int i=0; i <rows; i++){
    arr[i] = &data[n];
    n += cols;
    }
  retrun arr;
 }
void destroy(int **arr)
{
  if (arr == NULL) return;
  free(arr[0]);
  free(arr);
}

I am wondering which of the two is better for practice, or there is another even better solution? To me, the first one is more concise, but because the 2d array will be used as argument passing to functions very often, it seems the second one is better. I am not an expert on programming so I would like to listen to your opinions. Thanks.

A: Only the first method will guarantee that the memory is allocated in a single, contiguous block.  The second method does not guarantee that rows will be adjacent in memory (most likely, they will not be).
The main hitch is that the types int (*)[N] and int ** are not compatible, and simply casting one to the other won't do what you want.  If you're using an API that expects int **, then you'll need to use the second method.
As far as passing each as arguments, there's no practical performance difference; they're both pointer types.  The only real issue is that
void func( size_t cols, size_t rows, int (*arr)[cols] )

may be a little more awkward to read than
void func ( int **arr, size_t rows, size_t cols )

If you're not relying on any external API and have total control of how you implement things, use the first method.  It's cleaner in terms of code, it guarantees contiguous memory, and it's easier to manage.  The tradeoff is some ever-so-slightly gnarly syntax.

We are delighted to be holding a major event this December which focuses on how we can Power our Buildings for a Cleaner Future. Come and join us and enjoy good networking and festive drinks!
There will be an open-to-the public renewable energy exhibition and an electric vehicle will be on display.
National energy policy, regulation and market design – creating the conditions for success.
Regional resource assessments, local targets & aspiration, the West of England Joint Spatial Plan.
How renewable energy technologies now stack up financially.
Council investments in building-mounted PV, Energy targets in the REPLICATE programme and meeting Bristol Core Strategy 14 targets.
A live case study in Wales demonstrating technologies that generate electricity and heat together with energy storage systems.
How battery storage technology and smart business models can be used to change the way that we manage and use energy in our homes.
The GIFTS spreadsheet matches local electricity supply and demand hour-by-hour 24/7, 52 weeks of the year with wind and solar power backed up by flexible bio-electric generation.
In the coming decades the UK is uniquely placed to benefit from three innovations that could help fire a smart power revolution.
Interconnection - connecting our electricity network to our continental neighbours is already bringing down bills and helping to balance the system. More connections to cheap, green power supplies, from Norway and Iceland could bring great benefits to the UK. Government should redouble its efforts to open new connections.
Storage - technology is accelerating at a remarkable speed. The UK could become a world leader in making use of these technologies, not through subsidies, but by ensuring that better regulation creates a level playing field between generation and storage.
Demand flexibility - A new generation of hi-tech systems means consumers can save money and cut emissions without inconvenience. Government should ensure the UK's benefits by improving regulation, informing the public of its benefits and piloting schemes on its own estate.

Vietnam to resume nine regular international air routes
Regular international flights from/to Vietnam will be resumed in two phases, with air travel with nine foreign destinations to be available again in the first phase and fifteen in the second phase.
Regular international flights from/to Vietnam will be resumed in two phases, with air travel with nine foreign destinations to be available again in the first phase and fifteen in the second phase, according to the latest scenario developed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV). (Photo: baodautu.vn)
This is the latest scenario developed by the Civil Aviation Authority of Vietnam (CAAV), its Deputy Director Vo Huy Cuong said on December 16.
Under the new plan, Vietnam will restore regular international air routes with Beijing/Guangxi (China), Tokyo (Japan), Seoul (the Republic of Korea), Taipei (Taiwan, China), Bangkok (Thailand), Singapore, Vientiane (Laos), Phnom Penh (Cambodia), and San Francisco/Los Angeles (the US).
The reopening of regular international flights is expected to fuel travel demand from these destinations to Vietnam, Cuong said, adding that people will be able to travel normally to Vietnam without having to transit through other destinations.
During the second phase, flights will be likely to reconnect Vietnam with six more other foreign destinations, including Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia), Hong Kong (China), Paris (France), Frankfurt (Germany), Sydney (Australia) and Moscow (Russia).
Concerned authorities will evaluate the implementation of the plan before allowing regular international flights to resume to pre-pandemic level, he stressed.
According to a new guidance issued by the Ministry of Health on the same day, fully vaccinated foreign arrivals with negative COVID-19 test results will only need to self-quarantine at home or places of accommodation for three days upon entry into Vietnam by air.
The new regulations will be effective from January 1, 2022, the day Vietnam is set to resume regular international flights on a pilot basis.
The arrivals must have proof of negative COVID-19 test results (using the gold-standard PCR method) within 72 hours prior to entry (except in the case of children under two years old), must declare their health status before entry and must install Vietnam's PC-COVID app (available on both Android and iOS) for contact tracing and medical declaration purposes.
Arrivals that are Vietnamese citizens, including Vietnamese citizens residing overseas and the spouses and children of Vietnamese citizens, who have not been vaccinated against COVID-19, can be given free inoculation during the quarantine period if they agree.
Entrants who have been fully vaccinated or recovered from COVID-19, must not make direct contact with others nor leave their places of residence or designated accommodation (hotels, motels, resorts, offices, dormitories, guest houses, etc.) during the first three days.
Two RT-PCR tests will be conducted, on the first and third day since the date of entry.
If the results return negative, then the entrants still need to self-monitor their health status for 14 days after arrival, but this is already a huge step down from the current policies of mandatory seven days of concentrated quarantine and seven days of follow-up medical self-observation.
If they are willing to get a COVID-19 test (RT-PCR) on the tenth day, then the medical self-observation could end then.
For entrants who have not been fully vaccinated, upon entry, they will stay at home or place of accommodation for seven days, with RT-PCR tests conducted on the first and seventh day.
If the results are negative, the full two weeks of self-observation is applied, with another RT-PCR test to be done on the fourteenth day from the entry.
For entrants who are under 18 years old, above 65 years old, pregnant women, or having underlying health conditions (without requiring care or observation of medical facilities), they will be allowed to go into quarantine with their parents or caretakers.
The caretakers must be fully vaccinated or have recovered from COVID-19 and sign a 'commitment' document giving their voluntary willingness to quarantine with another person after having been informed of the risks of virus transmission. They will also be subject to the same stringent testing regimes and COVID-19 prevention and control measures expected of foreign arrivals./.

Kalispell Regional Healthcare hospitals were recently recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services for delivering high-quality care, including Kalispell Regional Medical headquarters making a short list of institutions to earn an overall trait top rating.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) awarded KRMC an Overall Hospital trait five-star rating, making the hospital one of only three in Montana and 293 out of more than 4,500 hospitals nationwide to receive the highest rating. The others in Montana are St. Patrick Hospital in Missoula and St. Vincent Healthcare in Billings.
North Valley Hospital in Whitefish received a five-star rating for patient experience, determined by the results of a national survey asking patients about a recent hospital stay. NVH also received a four-star overall trait rating and consistently ranks well above the national middling in most categories.
The HealthCenter ranked better than the national middling for low readmission rates. KRH notes that returning to the hospital for unplanned keeping disrupts patients' lives, increases their risk of harmful events enjoy health care-associated infections and costs more. Hospitals that provide high-quality keeping can withhold patients from returning and reduce their abide if they Have to arrive back.
The CMS rating system reports on trait measures for more than 4,500 hospitals around the country. It was created through the efforts of CMS in collaboration with organizations representing consumers, hospitals, doctors, employers, accrediting organizations and other federal agencies. The ratings are determined by measures of many aspects of trait care, including mortality, readmission, safety, patient experience, efficiency, timeliness and effectiveness of care.
The rating comes on the heels of other national honors for KRMC over the past two years, including Becker's Healthcare 2018 edition of 100 Great Community Hospitals, the IBM Watson Health top 100 hospital list, multiple recognitions and advanced certifications from the American Heart Association and American Stroke Association, and others.
NVH was also designated a Baby Friendly Hospital, a project the Birth headquarters and NVH employees worked toward for more than five years.
KRH has multiple initiatives underway that hunt to help the trait of keeping provided to patients. One is the Comprehensive Primary keeping Plus program, which has been implemented in nine KRH primary keeping clinics and focuses on improved patient access, trait of keeping and reductions in cost of keeping by providing case management, and access to integrated services such as diabetes management and behavioral health within the primary keeping clinic, emphasizing a broad array of trait measures that attest better health outcomes for the patients and the overall population.

Okorafor Restates (Yet Again): Imagining the Future is not Un-African!
Despite the growing popularity of science fiction among African writers and readers of African fiction, there are people who insist that science fiction is not a legitimate category of African literature. Brought up on the assumptions that realism is the only authentic form of African literary expression, they question the legitimacy of African fiction that imagines the future along the lines of science fiction.
In a recent interview published in Ventures Africa, Nnedi Okorafor the author of Binti-–a Harry Porter-esque space odyssey—takes up this very question of African fiction and the future.
Her response was prompted by the question:
"African science-fiction was not a genre that Africans read or wrote actively until recently. Some even deemed it 'un-African'. What would you say influenced your ideas and writing of a sci-fi Africa? Does your background in the diaspora have anything to do with it?"
Okorafor's response is both objective and poignant. She begins by clarifying that science fiction is just one way of imagining the future—something that African literature has always done in other ways. She goes on to explain what she—as an American and Nigerian writer—finds generative about science fiction and why, even though the origins of the genre is western, it remains a powerful way of conveying a certain kind of global African experience.
I can't possibly see why imagining Africa's future, considering the role of technology and social shifts in the evolution of humanity, or the possibility of the existence of aliens, etc, could be un-African. It's human.
That said, it's a fact that the genre of science fiction as we know it was spawned in the West, so why expect Africans to write copiously within a genre (and let's define genre here as a WAY of telling a story) that was not born in Africa? So, I think it important to fully understand what we are talking about and the various angles of it before we discuss it. Science fiction as a genre is popular in the West; it's a style of storytelling that is normal and expected there. It's a style into which imagining the future, the coming of aliens, social shifts, etc, is part it by definition.
Now, I was born and raised in the West; thus, I was exposed to the genre of science fiction and its importance to and popularity in society. Nevertheless, I couldn't relate to these narratives within the books and films because I never saw reflections of myself, my family, my cultures, Africa in those stories. When I read science fiction growing up, I felt more like a tourist in those stories than a citizen. So when I first started to tell my own stories, I didn't lean toward writing science fiction; magical realism felt most natural. But as I got older and started noticing more whenever I travelled to Nigeria with family to visit family, I started noticing Nigeria's (Africa's) futuristic ways. Then I started imagining. Then I looked for novels imagining what I was seeing and imagining and realized there were none. So I decided to start writing some. And because I was exposed to the genre of science fiction, I wrote the stories that I created from my experiences and observations in Nigeria in the style of the genre of science fiction that I was exposed to because I grew up in the United States.
That's my longwinded way of saying, my being Naijamerican (Nigerian American) played a pivotal role in my writing my flavor of African science fiction, despite the fact that I really had no previous examples. I can cite stories and novels by African writers that glimpsed the future or used a sort of remotely scifi spice to tell a tale, but honestly, I wouldn't call most of those early African narratives flat out science fiction.
Read full interview here.
What would you add to her response? Is it African to tell stories about the future?

Landmark contract helps manufacturer go with the grain
A North East manufacturer of industrial heating units for the agriculture sector is celebrating after securing its largest contract to date.
DLAW Contractors, based at Port of Sunderland, has created four new jobs as a direct result of the six-figure contract win, which will see it manufacture, supply and install a 6.2 megawatt output grain drying unit for a working farm in Northumberland.
The grain drying unit – which will be powered by two geo-thermal ground-source heat pumps – was designed and procured by renewable energy specialist Calibrate Energy Engineering on behalf of the farm. The project will drastically reduce its reliance on fossil fuels and significantly reduce its carbon footprint when fully operational.
The contract win marks the 17th industrial heating unit to roll-off the DLAW production line since the company opened its manufacturing facility at the port in April 2019 and has seen the firm recruit four more staff - from accounts to coded welders - to help ease its ever-growing workload.
Dale Barry, co-founder and managing director at DLAW, said: "This is a huge win for us and we are absolutely delighted to be in a position where we can continue investing in the business and create opportunities for local people, especially during a period of such economic uncertainty.
"Over the past 18 months we've seen the business grow from a team of four to a team of 12 full-time members of staff operating from our own, dedicated manufacturing facility, and we couldn't be happier with how the company has progressed.
"As well as manufacturing our geothermal heating units, we also have a contract to manufacture solar-powered containerised, transportable water treatment systems for Pure Water International. The units provide a self-sufficient and sustainable way for hard to reach communities across the globe to access clean drinking water and we're confident both sides of the business will continue to grow as we look to the future."
Shane McDonald, director of Calibrate Energy Engineering, added: "We awarded the contract of principal contractor to DLAW based on its understanding of the product and expertise in the manufacturing sector, which gave us confidence to move forward with the project and we are delighted to be working with them".
DLAW secured the contract after tapping into support from the Sustainable Advanced Manufacturing (SAM) Project, a £10.9million business support programme led by the University of Sunderland and backed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
The support helped DLAW not only identify the machinery required to improve its manufacturing process but also provided it with the funding to help with the purchase of a new 8x4 CNC Plasma Cutter machine.
"The support we've received from SAM has been fantastic," Dale added. "Not only has it helped us invest in new machinery, but it has also helped us improve our processes and ensure we are running as lean an operation as possible.
"Without the new CNC Plasma machine we would have struggled to take on a project of this size and I couldn't recommend the project enough to any manufacturing business looking to futureproof their business and continue growing post-pandemic."
Ken Teears, project manager at SAM, said: "The SAM Project was set up to provide innovative SME manufacturers across the North East with the tools and capital required to help them push the boundaries of their respective industries and DLAW is a perfect example of this.
"As a start-up business, the company has been able to adapt quicker than most to changes in its key markets and this is evident by its latest success which has seen the firm punch well above its weight and position it as a key challenger in the supply of industrial heating units. We are delighted to have been able to support the company and would like to wish them all the best for the future."
Matthew Hunt, director of Port of Sunderland, has also worked closely with DLAW over the past 18 months, helping the company identify the space and infrastructure required to ensure it has continued to meet the demand for its products from customers across the globe.
Matthew said: "We have invested millions in ensuring Port of Sunderland is investment-ready over recent years and to see companies such as DLAW not only investing here, but growing at such rapid pace, is fantastic to see.
"Over the past year and a half we've seen the company grow from what was literally a workshop in a container, to its own dedicated manufacturing facility, and we are looking forward to seeing what the future holds for the business."

POI-HPBF - Java API To Access Microsoft Publisher Format Files

Overview#

HPBF is the POI Project's pure Java implementation of the
			  Publisher file format.

Currently, HPBF is in an early stage, whilst we try to
              figure out the file format. So far, we have basic text
              extraction support, and are able to read some parts within
              the file. Writing is not yet supported, as we are unable
              to make sense of the Contents stream, which we think has
              lots of offsets to other parts of the file.

Our initial aim is to produce a text extractor for the format
              (now done), and be able to extract hyperlinks from within
              the document (partly supported). Additional low level
              code to process the file format may follow, if there
              is demand and developer interest warrants it.

Text Extraction is available via the
              org.apache.poi.hpbf.extractor.PublisherTextExtractor
              class.

At this time, there is no usermodel api or similar.
              There is only low level support for certain parts of
              the file, but by no means all of it.

Our current understanding of the file format is documented
              here.

As of 2017, we are unaware of a public format specification for
              Microsoft Publisher .pub files. This format was not included in
              the Microsoft Open Specifications Promise with the rest of the
              Microsoft Office file formats.
              As of 2009 and 2016, Microsoft had no plans to document the .pub file format.
              If this changes in the future, perhaps we will see a spec published
              on the Microsoft Office File Format Open Specification Technical Documentation.

Note

            This code currently lives the
            scratchpad area
            of the POI SVN repository. To use this component, ensure
            you have the Scratchpad Jar on your classpath, or a dependency
            defined on the poi-scratchpad artifact - the main POI
            jar is not enough! See the
            POI Components Map
            for more details.

Tilly and the Wall are back with more children's music for twisted adults
By Jim Farber
Tilly and the Wall has released a new CD, 'Heavy Mood'; it's been four years since their last one. (Zakk Hollowell)
The most striking sound created by Tilly and the Wall isn't made by any instrument. It's made by human limbs.
Band member Jamie Pressnall taps, brushes and stomps her feet on amplified pads, slapping out the beat with her own body. "It's exciting to know that, with just yourself, you can make music," she says.
Crazy, free music, it seems. With their shrill and bratty vocals, jerkying jump-rope rhythms and manically chirping melodies, Tilly and the Wall's music sounds like recess at the world's most progressive kindergarten. If Maurice Sendak's children's book, "Where the Wild Things Are," had a soundtrack, this would be it.
Remarkably, not only is Pressnall a certifiable adult, she teaches first grade when she's not on the road with the band. Pressnall's day job keeps her in touch with the childhood world she explores on a more surreal level by night. "When you tap into that," she says, "you're magical."
But you're hardly innocent. Tilly and the Wall's songs make an insightful, and subversive, connection between the mania of punk-rock and the madness of toddlerhood. On the bands' incongruously named new CD, "Heavy Mood," the five members blurt out kid-like cries over speedy surf-rock guitars and needling new wave synthesizers. They yelp: "We won't be quiet!," "I can't hold it in!" and "The world is wild at heart!"
The five-member band will bring that joyously disruptive sound to Bowery Ballroom Saturday.
Tilly formed a decade ago in their hometown of Omaha, Neb. The members had the luck to find themselves part of a soon-to-be major local scene. Several of the musicians played in the band Park Avenue with Conor Oberst (of Bright Eyes), including Pressnall.
They also knew Mike Mogis, who went on to become one of smart-rock's busiest producers. Oberst recorded Tilly's first release, "Woo!," while their full-length debut in 2004, "Wild Like Children," became the first release on Oberst's Team Love Records.
The band took its name from a children's book by Leo Lionni. It's about a mouse who longs to get to the other side of a wall. All the other mice call him crazy, but when he finally gets around the wall, they throw him a party.
"It's like what we do with the band in a way," Pressnall says. "Everyone said, 'You're crazy. You're going to tap-dance in a band? That has to be a joke.'"
At first, the innovation came by necessity. "We didn't have a drummer," Pressnall says. But she'd been tapping since age 3. And, of course, there exists a long and esteemed history of foot percussion, going back to a wide variety of aboriginal music.
Still, some listeners consider it a gimmick. "They make that snap judgement," Pressnall says. "We don't worry too much about what other people say."
Besides, the group has plenty of fans on its side — enough to warrant four CDs. Over time, the group has added electronic percussion and various hand-claps and slaps from the other members.
Between their last work, 2008's "o," and the new one, the members have gone through lots of personal changes. Keyboardist Nick White and singer/bassist/bell-player Nelly Jenkins moved from the Midwest to L.A. Singer/recorder/shaker player Kianna Cameron transplanted to Kansas City, got married and had a kid. Pressnall (born Jamie Williams, before she married fellow band member and guitarist Derek Pressnall a few years back) had her second child.
Only the Pressnalls remain in Omaha. "It's a great place to raise a family," she says, "and we can afford to be artists here."
She can also keep the same teaching job. Only recently have some of the kids seen pictures of her in the band. "They were saying, 'You look different,'" Pressnall says. "When I'm teaching, I'm not wearing a big tutu and bright pink tights."
It's crucial to Pressnall to hold onto that flamboyant spirit. "It's more important to me than ever to keep that alive," she says. "I want my daughter and son to have that spirit."
She expresses it most clearly by using her body as an instrument. "It's something anybody can do," Pressnall says. "If you realize that, you see you can do anything."

Highline Ballroom, 431 W. 16th St., (212) 414-5994
Even at 74, the first lady of rockabilly sings with spunk. She proves it on a brand new CD, aptly titled "Unfinished Business," which shakes with a vintage honky-tonk rumble.
- Calexico
Webster Hall, 125 E. 11th St., (212) 353-1600
It's not a separate nation, but the band known as Calexico mixes mariachi, cumbia and Tejano music from Mexico with country music of the American West and indie-rock of anywhere. Together, this creates a sound that, like the desert itself, is arid and eerie.
- Santigold
Roseland, 239 W. 52nd St., (212) 247-0200
Santigold's voice has some of the slouchy elan of Karen O., while her light island inflections provide a splash of something worldly.

Carnegie Hall, 881 Seventh Ave., (212) 247-7800
Country-pop's great lion in winter — who, lately, has been suffering from an early onset of Alzheimer's disease — will perform this date on his likely final tour. Campbell's last two albums have been among his most poignant and pretty.
