Secretary-General Urges Renewal, Full Implementation of Black Sea Grain Initiative, Noting Resultant Food Price Drop Has Saved 100 Million People from Extreme Poverty
The following statement was issued today by the Spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres:
The Secretary-General expresses his unwavering commitment and strong support to the renewal and full implementation of the Black Sea Grain Initiative, as well as for the full implementation of the agreement signed with the Russian Federation. Both agreements aim to ensure that grain and fertilizers from Ukraine and the Russian Federation reach global markets at the speed and price needed to avert a global food crisis and ensure food security. The United Nations continues its active and constant engagement with all parties towards that goal.
We underline the urgency of doing so to contribute to food security across the world, and to cushion the suffering that this global cost-of-living crisis is inflicting on billions of people. If food and fertilizers do not reach global markets now, farmers will not have fertilizers at the right time and at a price they can afford as the planting season begins, endangering crops in all regions of the world in 2023 and 2024, with dramatic effect on food production and food prices worldwide. The current crisis of affordability will turn into a crisis of availability.
The impact of the agreement signed in Istanbul has been clearly demonstrated. Exports of grains and other food products under the Black Sea Grain Initiative have surpassed 9 million tons, with the close monitoring and coordination of the Joint Coordination Centre, comprising representatives from the Russian Federation, Türkiye, Ukraine and the United Nations under the terms of the agreement. This would not have been made possible without the hard work of all representatives at the Joint Coordination Centre. We express our gratitude to Türkiye for hosting the Joint Coordination Centre and supporting actively its operations.
The resumption of exports has significantly contributed to lower prices of wheat and other commodities. The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) Food Index has declined for 7 months in a row. According to our estimates based on the World Bank model, the reduction of prices for staple foods has indirectly prevented some 100 million people from falling into extreme poverty.
The initial duration of the agreement to facilitate grains and fertilizer exports from Ukraine is 120 days and can be extended automatically on 19 November if no party objects. We urge all parties to make every effort to renew the Black Sea Grain Initiative and implement both agreements to their fullest, including the expedited removal of any remaining impediments to Russian grain and fertilizer export.
The United Nations is fully committed to continuing to work with all parties to ensure that we reach this goal. We do not underestimate the challenges, but we know they can be overcome.
Governments, shipping companies, grain and fertilizer traders and farmers all over the world are now looking for clarity on the future.

Salih Khater faces Westminster Magistrates Court.
THE suspected terrorist who crashed his car into a security bollard outside the British Houses of Parliament has appeared in court.
Salih Khater, 29, was driven in a blue police van to London's Westminster Magistrates Court on Monday morning local time.
He appeared in the dock wearing a grey T-shirt and white trousers.
Khater been charged with two counts of attempted murder after he drove his car through a group of cyclists and pedestrians and towards two policemen outside Westminster Palace.
CCTV footage showed the police officers diving out of the way as Khater's silver Ford Fiesta hatchback hurtled towards them before slamming into the security gate.
He was arrested a short time later by heavily armed police who pulled him from the car at gunpoint.
Khater, a Sudanese-born British citizen who lives in Birmingham, appeared briefly in the dock and spoke only to confirm his name, date of birth, nationality and address.
There was no bail application and he will appear in front of the Old Bailey on August 31.
Metropolitan Police charged Khater on Saturday after holding him in custody since the incident on Tuesday, August 14.
No terrorism-related charges have been laid, however it is still being treated as a terrorist incident.
"Due to the methodology, iconic location and the alleged targeting of civilians and police officers, the CPS (Crown Prosecution Service) are treating this case as terrorism," the Met said in a statement.

Thomas et ses amis (Thomas le petit train au Québec ; , puis ) est une série télévisée d'animation britannique en  d'environ , créée par Britt Allcroft d'après les livres de Wilbert Vere Awdry, et diffusée entre le  et le  sur le réseau ITV.

Synopsis
Cette série pour enfants met en scène les aventures de Thomas, une locomotive anthropomorphe et de ses amis, trains et véhicules divers, sur l'île imaginaire de Sodor (Chicalor en français). Thomas et les autres locomotives parlent et communiquent avec les humains, auxquels ils obéissent tout en prenant parfois des initiatives dont les conséquences imprévues constituent autant de rebondissements. Fondamentalement, Thomas, le personnage principal, illustre les qualités de gentillesse, de dévouement, d'amour du travail bien fait et d'obéissance qui sont valorisées dans chaque épisode. Les livres sur lesquels se base la série sont eux-mêmes tirés d'histoires que l'auteur, Wilbert Vere Awdry, aurait créées à l'intention de son fils Christopher, alors que ce dernier était convalescent à la suite d'une rougeole. Les deux premières saisons de la série sont directement adaptées des ouvrages d'Awdry.

Production

Précurseurs
Bien avant la diffusion initiale du premier épisode de Thomas et ses amis le , il existait déjà de nombreuses tentatives d'adaptation des histoires de Awdry. La première tentative date de 1953, lorsque l'éditeur de Railway Series, Eric Marriott, est contacté par British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) qui souhaitait utiliser des modèles de trains afin d'adapter sur écran le premier ouvrage de Awdry originellement intitulé . Des modèles de Hornby Dublo à échelle 00 sont d'abord utilisés, et les scènes authentiques tirées du livre sont produites ; le premier épisode, inspiré de , est diffusé en direct le soir du dimanche 14 juin 1953, depuis Lime Grove Studios. Néanmoins, la diffusion n'est pas un grand succès : une mauvaise manipulation de trajet cause le déraillement de Henry et les téléspectateurs assistent en direct à des remaniements manuels des rails, à des mouvements irréalistes, et à des effets sonores et musiques superposées. Le 23 février, cette diffusion fait la une des couvertures du  et du  ; Awdry en personne qualifie cet épisode d'. De ce fait, la diffusion du second épisode programmée pour le 28 juin 1953 est repoussée, puis par la suite annulée. Après l'échec engendré par , la BBC propose en dernier recours à Awdry et aux éditions Railway Series une plus grande prise en main de la production des épisodes, mais les éditeurs déclinent l'offre, et préfèrent se focaliser sur la vente d'ouvrages.

Les histoires de Awdry reviennent une fois de plus sur la BBC : quatorze ans avant la diffusion de , .

En 1979, la productrice britannique Britt Allcroft réalise un documentaire sur la , un chemin de fer touristique localisé dans le Sussex, un endroit ayant inspiré les ouvrages Railway Series. Pendant ses recherches précédant le tournage, Allcroft s'adonne à la lecture des ouvrages  ; elle est amusée et grandement impressionnée par les histoires illustrées par Awdry, et remarque en ces termes :  ;  Allcroft tente alors de convaincre Awdry de sa capacité, contre rémunération, à adapter ses histoires en une série télévisée - ses efforts sont récompensées, et elle acquiert les droits auprès des éditeurs de  pour un coût estimé à . Mais Allcroft se devait de travailler encore plus afin de récolter des fonds pour la production tout en essayant de garder le contrôle créatif ; plus tard, après plusieurs années de recherche et une seconde hypothèque sur sa maison, Allcroft parvient à récolter suffisamment d'argent après de sa banque.

La production de la série est lancée en 1983 par Britt Allcroft Productions, Clearwater Features Ltd (la société de David Mitton et Robert D. Cardona) et la compagnie d'ITV Central Independent Television. La série est originellement tournée et produite par Clearwater à Londres, puis aux Shepperton Studios, dans le Middlesex. La première saison (1984) s'inspire des huit premiers ouvrages, et d'une illustration hors-série de Rev. W. Awdry, . La seconde série (1986) s'inspire des histoires illustrées du neuvième ouvrage () au trentième (). Cet ouvrage est spécial car spécifiquement rédigé par Christopher Awdry pour son adaptation télévisée. La seconde saison se compose de 27 épisodes, sous le titre de . Entre la production des seconde et troisième saisons, l'équipe de production se concentre sur deux autres séries en parallèle : dont TUGS, qui sera diffusée entre 1989 et 1990 sur Television South (TVS). Bien avant la production de la troisième saison, Clearwater ferme en 1990, et The Britt Allcroft Company en devient l'unique héritier. La série est diffusée entre 1991 et 1992 en deux parties, (la première composée de 16 épisodes, et l'autre de 10) pour un coût de £1,3 million. La quatrième saison est diffusée en deux parties également (la première composée de 10 épisodes, et l'autre de 16) entre 1994 et 1995. Les producteurs prévoient l'introduction de nouveaux personnages féminins Caroline, Nancy, et The Refreshment Lady, en réponse à des accusations sexistes contre la série deux ans auparavant. La cinquième saison (1998) est un changement radical, du fait que tous les épisodes sont illustrés par Britt Allcroft et David Mitton sans histoires supplémentaires adaptées de Railway Series.  est diffusée en  au Royaume-Uni.

Hit Entertainment
La Britt Allcroft Company (plus tard renommée Gullane Entertainment en 2000) est acquise par HiT Entertainment en septembre 2002, une société spécialisée dans le divertissement pour enfants. Les sixième et septième saisons intronisent de nouvelles histoires et de nouveaux personnages, ainsi qu'une équipe de scénaristes. La sixième saison en 2002 est notable pour la création d'un spin-off inspirée des ouvrages Bob le bricoleur. En 2003, Britt Allcroft quitte sa fonction de producteur exécutif, laissant Peter Urie le seul producteur exécutif chez Gullane Entertainment, et Jocelyn Stevenson chez HiT Entertainment.

La huitième saison (2004) intronise un changement significatif de la série. La majeure partie de l'équipe de production de 1983 est dissoute, comme notamment Britt Allcroft, le réalisateur et scénariste David Mitton, et les compositeurs Mike O'Donnell et . Steve Asquith endosse le rôle du réalisateur, tandis que Simon Spencer remplace Phil Fehrle comme producteur. Les génériques sont composés par Ed Welch et Robert Hartshorne, respectivement. Hit Entertainment est plus tard acquis par Apax Partners, une société privée, en mars 2005. Un téléfilm,  est diffusée peu après en 2005.

En , Apax se prépare à vendre HiT Entertainment et ses franchises, dont Thomas – considéré comme la plus rentable – afin d'éponger les dettes accumulées par HIT, en vend la compagnie en , ainsi que Thomas, au géant de jouets américain Mattel. À la  (2012), Sharon Miller démissionne de son rôle de scénariste.

Épisodes

Au Royaume-Uni, la série est originellement diffusée sur ITV jusqu'en 2004 lorsque la série change de format pour être diffusée sur la chaîne Channel 5. En France, la série est initialement connue sous le nom de 'Thomas, la locomotive. Depuis les années 2000, elle est en partie diffusée sur la chaîne Playhouse Disney, ainsi que sur France 5 dans Zouzous depuis le  sous le nom de Thomas le petit train. Au Québec, elle est diffusée sur Télé-Québec et en 2011 sur Yoopa.

Q: Convert vector of arrays into vector of vectors c++ I need a way to convert data in the form of std::vector<std::array<int, 2> > into std::vector<std::vector<int> >
quickly.
I have the following solution, but on large vectors this is quite slow for me.
std::vector<std::array<int, 2> > data; // filled with data
std::vector<std::vector<int> > mod;

for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
   mod.push_back(vector<int>(data[i].begin(), data[i].end()));
}

Is there a more efficient way to do it?

A: The following should be more efficient
std::vector<std::array<int, 2> > data; // filled with data
std::vector<std::vector<int> > mod;

mod.reserve(data.size());
for (int i = 0; i < data.size(); i++) {
   mod.emplace_back(data[i].begin(), data[i].end());
}

reserve prevents reallocation of the mod vector as it grows, and emplace_back constructs the smaller vectors in place, potentially avoiding some copying of data.

Well…hell, it's been about five years. I'll have a little more to say on that subject further down the page, but for now, the music – and why not make it special?
I wouldn't be surprised if a significant number of readers of Excavated Shellac were familiar with the incredible Kenyan recording of "Chemirocha," which was captured by the South African ethnographer and recordist Hugh Tracey on his 1950 expedition across East Africa. If ever there was an early recording from Africa that could be described as infamous, "Chemirocha" is it. Decades ago, that recording was issued by Tracey on his long out-of-print Music of Africa LP collection (#2: Kenya), then later by John Storm Roberts on his groundbreaking and long out-of-print Nairobi Sound LP, and later, sounding clear as a bell, on the recent SWP Records CD Kenyan Songs and Strings.
"Chemirocha" is deservedly infamous because of it's backstory. Tracey arrived in Kapkatet, Kenya, inland from the eastern shore of Lake Victoria, to record the music of the Kipsigis. The Kipsigis were then known (and it seems still are) as a pastoral people whose livelihood, on the whole, depended on cattle, tea, and millet. Their language, interestingly, is not a Bantu language, and is part of the Nilotic language group, centered around southern Sudan, Kenya, and Uganda (Luo is also a Nilotic language). Anyway, Tracey discovered on his apparently rainy visit that the Kipsigis had heard numerous recordings by American country music star Jimmie Rodgers – likely purchased and/or brought to Kenya by the British, as Jimmie Rodgers discs were reissued in Britain on the Zonophone label. The Kipsigis, after hearing Rodgers' music, were, according to Tracey, fascinated by his voice, which they deemed magical, and created a legend around him, calling him Chemirocha: Chemi (Jimmie) Rocha (Rodgers). According to the Kipsigis, Chemirocha, because of his prowess as a singer and player, had to have been half-man, half-antelope. The younger Kipsigis invented songs about him. This well known and beautiful version of "Chemirocha" can be heard, introduced by Hugh Tracey himself, here.
However, that was not the only song about Chemirocha that Tracey recorded. In fact, he recorded THREE Chemirocha songs – and the famous one described above technically was known in Tracey's archive as "Chemirocha III." They are all slightly different. This version, far less known and sung by young men, is "Chemirocha II," and is slower, and more methodical. Tracey wrote in his notes that the other two versions of Chemirocha tunes were in fact songs usually performed by women, but the young men clearly knew them well enough to perform them, despite the embarrassment of their sisters, who were reticent to perform themselves. They are accompanied, as usual, by the 6-string bowl lyre of the Kipsigis known as the chepkongo (also chepkong, chemonge, or sometimes bukandit). In fact, the lyrics to this track are about the chepkongo, and how Chemirocha's guitar playing sounds so similar to their own instrument. The instrument is used for both entertainment and ceremonial purposes. According to one source, in 1952 chepkongo songs by the Kipsigis were banned by the colonial-era Nandi African District Council.
These songs have continued to marvel, probably due to the fact that the two main elements, the Kipsigis and the American country star, seem incongruous to most. Their music in theory appears incompatible. Yet, despite distance and difference of culture, and with help from the rampant dispersal of the gramophone record, one influenced the other. Of course, it's far more complicated than that. Quite possibly, the devastating effects of colonialism played a part in bringing those Jimmie Rodgers records to Kenya. As Barry Mazor points out in his book "Meeting Jimmie Rodgers," some patronizing hyperbole abounds in the writing on these recordings – one source I came across stated that the Kipsigis developed a "Jimmie Rodgers cult." This appears to be, at best, an extreme exaggeration. Mazor, referencing Tracey's notes, states that the name "Chemirocha," from the Kipsigis standpoint, stood for anything new and different that came from outside of their country. Further, according to Tracey's notes, the singers of "Chemirocha I" ask why their country has been taken over by white men. That, in itself, is a tip-off that we're not talking about a Jimmie Rodgers personality cult. The Kipsigis were fascinated by the quality of Rodgers' voice and playing – not his personality, his career as a country music star, or his lyrics, which they could not understand. At any rate, Hugh Tracey loved the region and was impressed by the Kipsigis, and for that we can be thankful.
It should be mentioned that many of Tracey's recordings can be accessed, via cooperation from Tracey's ILAM (International Library of African Music), on the South African Music Archive Project website. The samples are low-resolution, stereo, and often poorly transferred, with sometimes incomplete or incorrect metadata – but still, it's a phenomenal wealth of important content for researchers that deserves far more than lip service on a blog.
I could find nothing about the duo of Joash Makaya and Joseph Sambili, members of the Luhya people of Western Kenya. Which one of them is providing the guitar, soda bottle, and vocals, is unknown – conceivably it could be just one of them. But Makaya was the writer of this piece, which was likely recorded in Nairobi in the summer of 1956. I discuss this a little in the notes to Opika Pende, but this entire series was funded by the African Mercantile Company (the "AMC" on the label), and organized by a British ex-patriot named Peter Colmore, a gregarious entrepreneur based in Nairobi. Every disc I've heard on this rare series has been terrific. Makaya and Sambili take a little while to get into a groove (indicating yet again that there was no time for second takes with most 78 recording), but then glide smoothly into beautiful singing and playing.
So…five years of Excavated Shellac. Admittedly, the last few have been erratic in terms of posting, I realize. And who celebrates the anniversary of a website, anyway? I had an entire screed written, filled with complaints, anecdotes, opinions on blogging, opinions on collecting, the meaning of why on Earth I continue to do this…but I erased it. Ultimately, the meaning of why I do this is tied to the experience of listening and meeting people for whom this music (as opposed to merely the records) generates a response. It is entirely personal. Through it, I've met some generous people, incredibly knowledgeable contributors, and have had the lucky chance to release work publicly. I'll keep updating Excavated Shellac so long as it continues to modestly make attempts to bridge a gap between ad-free interactive scholarship and entertainment. While the transfers have, and the writing has, I believe, improved over the years, I've kept to the same format and design. It's a less-is-more approach…although with Opika Pende and Strings the amount of music released under the Excavated Shellac rubric has approached the 11-CD boxed set range, so the "more" part of "less-is-more" might be winning that battle. While it's pretty easy to figure out who I am, at least on this website I will only be 'JW,' your (vaguely) anonymous moderator. And my one plug will be that if you have enjoyed these 150+ tracks on this website and have appreciated the commentary, please support my analog releases. You will not be disappointed.

Happy anniversary and thank you for keeping on. It's a sin that such incredible music has been practically forgotten.
Thanks, Sam. I appreciate that. But it's probably presumptuous to say that any of this music is forgotten, even practically. Over and over I have been made aware that there are people in countries all over the world who understand these musics, are familiar with the recording history of their country or region, and in some cases personally have known the artists themselves. Collectors are all over the world, in places you may not expect, documenting history. What is new, however, and what will change awareness, is the ability to access these recordings more readily.
An awesome achievement…Here's to the next five!
thanks for sharing all these treasures and their stories!!
Joyeux anniversaire ! And good luck for the next 5 years !
Dear JW (!) Congratulations! Dear ES Happy Birthday!
Congratulations on the mini-jubilee. I wonder where digital music will be in another 5 years, let alone 78s! Keep up the great work + many thanks.
Five years of work to treasure, JW! Congratulations – it's very much appreciated. And thanks as always for these great new posts, both beautiful and utterly extraordinary.
I first heard about Chemirocha from the English folklorist and singer A.L.Lloyd, in about 1980. He was a great storyteller, and at first I think we assumed it was another of his tall tales, but it became apparent that he was quite serious about this one, although I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was embellishing it. He finished by singing the song – I'd like to say in perfect Kipsigi, but how would I know?
Congratulations! If anything, you're raising your own standard with these two.
All best wishes for the incredible job you are doing.May God bless you to do everything you wished to do for the benefit of world music lovers.From the time a year back or so i happened to visit this site in search of Indian music and later enjoyed a lot all the world music you provided.Indebted to you a lot.
Thanks very much for the support, all!
Five more years! Five more years! Five more years!
Every time I visit your blog, I am in awe of the work you do. Not only is the music wonderful to listen to, thanks to your transfers and to the choices you make, but the background information is always so impressive. Happy anniversary, and may we get to enjoy Excavated Shellac for many more years.
Thanks for doing what you do. So many of these recordings have become reference points for me; songs that I couldn't imagine not knowing. And to think how easily they could have been forgotten forever…. Just ordered Opika Pende, very excited for it to arrive! Also, could you put up a list of the songs that have been reposted? I figure out a few of them but I want to make sure I haven't missed anything.
thanks for sharing and the persistance in keeping the blog.
This is a fabulous achievement. So humbling to see sonic creativity across the ages. You should get an award!
Dear "JW", first of all, I would like to congratulate your bolg. I've asked my self where am I that did not see your site. I'm a scholar, precisely, historian. Well, I'm a black historian from Brazil. Thus my field of research is African History. This year I began to make a radio program named "Africa Livre", which means Africa Free. This project is an attempt to mix African History with African music. Each program has a theme that could be a region, empire, and so on. In these theme I choose four countries and their respective singers. I desire to make podcasts, but I can't figure out how can I up load the podcasts. It will be possible to you give me some advice about how can I do t his thing?
I would like to apologise for my broken english, I cant write really clear. I hope you could help me.
been reading the Chimerocha story this morning, listenning to the ones available on the net (version III). Really touching story, transandental music, showing that music corsses over cultures and can be understood/assimilated by one another in different way.
As a great fan of J.M.Hendrix & having the chance to live in specific part of Africa, like Kenya, Nigeria, a bit of Ethiopia, I heard severally in various locations pentatonic chords that -for someone of my generation- a identical to the ones used in blues.
This is great! Does anyone know of a place where I can get the track with the original lead in explanation? I'm having a hard time finding it anywhere.
Shouldn't be too tough to either record it off of the YouTube link or better yet, track down the original LP.
there's been some interesting new info on this. If you go to Youtube and look up Singing Well. There's a project run by the sound library Tracey established to find the sources. They return to the village and play the recording to the last living participant they could find, along with relatives of some of the others. They also get some good info on the meaning of 'Chemirocha' and the cultural context (fear of missionaries, fear of medical practices), along with some possibly more accurate interpretations of the lyrics than Tracey was able to give.

Interactive: How the wildfire smoke in the West is affecting your state
This interactive mapping tool from the Associated Press allows you to see how healthy the air is near your home.
SAN FRANCISCO (NEXSTAR) – That haze in the sky above you may not be smog or typical atmospheric moisture. What you are looking at may actually be wildfire smoke drifting hundreds or even thousands of miles across the country.
Millions across California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada, and Idaho have been hit with unhealthy and at times hazardous air conditions since some of the nation's largest wildfires on record sparked in mid-August. But a change in the weather has sent some of that smoke drifting all the way to the Atlantic Ocean.
A modeling tool from NASA's Global Modeling Assimilation Office forecasts smoke crossing the entire country between now and September 18th, hovering in nearly every contiguous state in the process. Now a tool from the Associated Press allows you to see how much particulate matter is in the atmosphere in your community. Darker colors indicate poorer air quality on the map below.
Your browser does not support the iframe HTML tag. Try viewing this in a modern browser like Chrome, Safari, Firefox or Internet Explorer 9 or later.
While the tool shows some level of particulate matter in every state, conditions beyond wildfires may be contributing. Where there is wildfire smoke, residents on the ground may not notice smoke at all.
NASA model predicts wildfire smoke to drift over nearly every U.S. state
"For some of these, they won't see it at the surface," Meteorologist Jessica Chiari of the NWS Boise office said of the NASA map's wide footprint across the states. "It's at least going to be drifting aloft though."
The eastward movement of the smoke has already caused some improvement in Air Quality Index readings for residents living close to the Pacific Coast, west of most fire zones.
Chiari says much of the Pacific Northwest will remain socked in for the next few days, but a potentially strong weather system is on the radar for late this week. While that event may not entirely clear out the skies, it may push out more smoke and potentially drop rain on some of the worst wildfires in Oregon.
Beautiful spring-like weather continues for southern Nevada today and right through the weekend. We would normally be chillin' during this time in mid-January with cool days in the 50s and mornings in the 30s. But our afternoon should reach near 70 degrees today and low 70s to start the weekend. That's more like March! Sherry's most accurate #WeatherNOW forecast says enjoy it while we can because next week the chilly north winds return along with the cooler temps.
LAS VEGAS (KLAS) - #TeddSaid: It felt like early march today and we'll keep that trend going for a few more days before bigger changes come late weekend. MLK day looks to be cooler with increasing wind, but it's not until Tuesday when we see the strong gusty winds and cooler 50s. Wind Advisories may be issued for Tuesday as gusts up to 30+ are expected.
A beautiful start to Thursday with blue skies and cool morning temps, but the afternoons will really start warming up today - feeling like spring right into the weekend. High pressure will drive these mid-January temperatures well-above normal for several days. And as much as we need rain and snow right now, we should just enjoy a break in the chilly weather because Sherry's most accurate #WeatherNOW forecast says colder days are coming back as soon as next week.

Ann Magnuson at Joe's Pub
May 20, 2007 by Andy Horwitz	in Responses
Former New York artstar and current L.A. Woman Ann Magnuson was in town Friday to promote her new CD, Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories, with two sets at the esteemed Joe's Pub, and Culturebot was in attendance. Two editors, two shows, one downtown legend. Reactions after the jump.
Magnuson emerged from black curtains onto the stage at Joe's Pub looking like what for all intents and purposes she is: New York's fairy godmother (or is that New York's fairies' godmother?) clothed in a white ball gown and brandishing a wand. Accompanied by her producer Kristian Hoffman on piano and the Loser's Lounge band, with Tish and Snooky of Manic Panic fame providing backing vocals, Magnuson debuted songs from her new CD, Pretty Songs & Ugly Stories, to an ecstatic crowd. Things started amiably enough, a demure thank you to the audience, a quick shuffle of the music stand, and then we were in Magnuson-land for the next hour and a half. The opening number, "Falling For An Actor," led into a lament for how few charismatic leading men grace the silver screen today. "The Rock? Vin Diesel? Aren't they the same person?" she quipped. Magnuson informed the crowd she'd just inked a distribution deal for her album, sparing her "from D.I.Y. hell…until the next time."
She followed the kicky "Disassociation" by picking up her guitar to strum the stirring psychedelic-folk song "I Met An Astronaut," a number tinged with a nostalgia for lunar landings and an America that was once Camelot. Lest the audience get too comfortable, the hazy remembrances were shattered when Magnuson launched into a spoken-word riff, half-in Mandarin Chinese, before flinging her petite frame into the audience, lifting her gown to hump one audience member, grab another's drink and spew it into the crowd, fling food, then strip off her gown — revealing a pair of red-fringe pants — and finally back to the stage to smash a bouquet of daisies resting on the piano like they were Pete Townshend's guitar, sending a shrapnel of petals all over the front row of tables. Take notes kids, that's how it's done!
Miss Pussy Pants kept the energy up, shimmying and ponying to songs "Full of Fuck" and her ode to MILF-dom, "Old Enuf 2 Be Yer Mom." In her black tank top, I couldn't help but appraise her lithe frame. Fuck Madonna, Magnuson's body and energy are incredible for her age– she's a radiant performance art pixie! Ageless, it seems.
While Magnuson retired backstage for a costume change, she left special guest Adam Dugas to entertain with a cover of Bowie's "Lady Stardust," a technically adept rendition that lacked the precedent of depth and danger that Magnuson had set.
Back onstage, Magnuson, now clad in a black evening gown, again sentimentalized the New York of a not-so-distant past. "How do you still afford it here?" She asked. She told of finally having to surrender her apartment on Avenue A, which she'd had for years, and for which she was paying a paltry four hundred-plus dollars. She told of her last night, unable to sleep, which left her wandering the East Village in the near-twilight, wondering where the fabulous freaks had gone, replaced by frat daddies and drunken Jersey girls. When she sang "Whatever Happened to New York" it carried a sense of loss beyond just skyrocketing rents and the malling of Manhattan.
The set ended, Ann left the stage to sell Cd's, greet fans and rest up before the second show. I left thinking about her little place on Avenue A, the one she was forced to leave. You can't go home again, this evening made perfectly clear, but if only she still had her little pied-à-terre, maybe she'd make more than a scant few appearances in New York. If for nothing else than to remind us of the magic we once had, and maybe, just maybe, the magic we can recapture again.
So while Mike caught the early show I went to see Ann Magnuson's 11:30 show on Friday night at Joe's Pub. My companion was a serious Ann Magnuson fan, I am only passingly acquainted with Ms. Magnuson's oeuvre, mostly the work of Bongwater. The crowd was a mix of the new and Old Guard of Downtown nightlife. I saw David Herskovits and Mickey Boardman from Paper and Choire Sicha – who was a gallerist and art world scenester before taking the editorial helm of the Gawker empire – in the crowd. Dirty Martini was there and I saw Justin Bond backstage after at the merch table. I'm sure there were countless other downtown artstars that I didn't recognize. The audience seemed light, even for an 11:30 on Friday, but the house was warm and appreciative.
At first Ms. Magnuson's voice seemed a bit tired and strained. I don't think she had much time to rest between shows. But her spunk, energy and irreverence saved the day. Her eclectic and ironic repertoire – drawn, as far as I could tell, entirely from her new album – was witty and charming. She ran through the audience stripping off her gown, had a freakout spoken-word moment backed by the riff from Led Zeppelin's "Dazed and Confused". Overall she made it very clear why she is regarded as a respected pioneer of that unique Downtown Genre I call Punk Rock New Wave Performance Art Cabaret. The surreal musical riffs and the post-ironic all-knowing world-weary stories were delivered with an air of rootless cosmopolitanism and a yearning for an imagined – and better and vanished – New York. It made for a strange mix of feelings. I loved the show, Ms. Magnuson did a great job, but at the same time it seemed a little bit like a nostalgia trip. Because even though I only caught the tail end of freaky NYC I miss it, too, the time before downtown was strangled by red velvet ropes and 3AM cabaret shows for the Lindsay Lohan set. The time when freaks moved amongst us and were not relegated to serving as court jesters for celebutards, yuppies and eurotrash. It really was only a few years ago that the LES was still alive and kicking, when there actually seemed to be a counterculture.
As enjoyable as Ms. Magnuson's show was, it seemed to be more of an elegy for New York than anything else. It left me a little melancholy.
There was a musical interlude while Ms. Magnuson changed costumes that left me more wistful than anything. The dulcet tones of Adam Dugas' lounge-style re-interpretation of David Bowie's "Lady Stardust" left me feeling conflicted, too. He's an able enough singer, but his interpretation lacked edge. I remember listening to that song as a teenager and imagining NYC as an edgy, pansexual world-transforming freak show; I remember listening to Ziggy Stardust, trapped in my suburban Hell and dreaming of a world where all the outcasts and misfits came to play together in rock and roll heaven. As Ms. Magnuson said, we all came to the city to get away from wherever we were, we came here to be where it was at. And nowadays New York doesn't feel like where it's at. At least not the "downtown" that is being vigilantly guarded behind velvet ropes and nostalgia.
By way of contrast, two weekends ago I attended Earl Dax and Jen Gapay's Bitchslap at Luke & Leroy's and, watching these 20-something freaky queer kids making their own thing happen, I had hope once again. They couldn't give a fuck about what happened in the 80's or even the 90's, except to steal the fashions. They are young, raw and amateurish but they are on to something. The kids are alright. Keep you eyes out for them.

Centric interocclusal record legal definition of centric interocclusal record
https://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/centric+interocclusal+record
(redirected from centric interocclusal record)
1) v. (rick-cored) to put a document into the official records of a county at the office of the County Recorder or Recorder of Deeds. The process is that the document is taken or sent to the Recorder's office, a recording fee paid, the document is given a number (a document number, volume or reel number and page number), stamped with the date (and usually the time) of recording and then in most modern offices, microfilmed and the document returned a short time later. Normally recorded is any document affecting title to real property such as a deed, deed of trust, mortgage, reconveyance, release, declaration of homestead, easement, judgment, lien, request for notice of default, foreclosure, satisfaction of judgment, and sometimes long-term leases. These recordings provide a traceable chain of title to the property and give the public "constructive" notice of all interests in the property. In most states if there is more than one document affecting the property, (such as two deeds, two mortgages, or a judgment and mortgage) the first one recorded has "seniority" and first claim on the property in what is called a "race to the courthouse." 2) v. to write down or tape the minutes, financial transactions, discussions and other happenings at meetings. 3) n. (wreck-urred) in trials, hearings or other legal proceedings the total of the proceedings which are transcribed by a court reporter and included in the minutes of the clerk or judge, as well as all the documents filed in the case. On an appeal, the record includes everything that transpired before the appeal, upon which the written briefs (opposing legal arguments) and oral argument are based. On appeal the court can consider only the record, unless there is a claim of "newly discovered evidence." (See: deed, deed of trust, mortgage, race to the courthouse, trial, appeal)

RECORD, evidence. A written memorial made by a public officer authorized by law to perform that function, and intended to serve as evidence of something written, said, or done. 6 Call, 78; 1 Dana, 595.
2. Records may be divided into those which relate to the proceedings of congress and the state legislatures -- the courts of common law -- the courts of chancery -- and those which are made so by statutory provisions.
3.-1. Legislative acts. The acts of congress and of the several legislatures are the highest kind of records. The printed journals of congress have been so considered. 1 Whart. Dig. tit. Evidence, pl. 112 and see Dougl. 593; Cowp. 17.
4.-2. The proceedings of the courts of common law are records. But every minute made by a clerk of a court for his own future guidance in making up his record, is not a record. 4 Wash. C. C. Rep. 698.
5.-3. Proceedings in courts of chancery are said not to be, strictly speaking, records; but they are so considered. Gresley on Ev. 101.
6.-4. The legislatures of the several states have made the enrollment of certain deeds and other documents necessary in order to perpetuate the memory of the facts they contain, and declared that the copies thus made should have the effect of records.
7. By the constitution of the United States, art. 4. s. 1, it is declared that "full faith and credit shall be given, in each state, to the public acts, records and judicial proceedings of every other state; and the congress may, by general laws, prescribe the manner in which such acts, records and proceedings shall be proved, and the effect thereof." In pursuance of this power, congress have passed several acts directing the manner of authenticating public records, which will be found under the article Authentication.
8. Numerous decisions have been made under these acts, some of which are here referred to. 7 Cranch, 471; 3 Wheat. 234; 4 Cowen, 292; 1 N. H. Rep. 242; 1 Ohio Reports, 264; 2 Verm. R. 263; 5 John. R. 37; 4 Conn. R. 380; 9 Mass 462; 10 Serg. & Rawle, 240; 1 Hall's N. York Rep. 155; 4 Dall. 412; 5 Serg. & Rawle, 523; 1 Pet. S. C. Rep. 352. Vide, generally, 18 Vin. Ab. 17; 1 Phil. Ev. 288; Bac. Ab. Amendment, &c., H; 1 Kent, Com. 260; Archb. Civ. Pl. 395; Gresley on Ev. 99; Stark. Ev. Index, h.t.; Dane's Ab. Index, h.t.; Co. Litt. 260; 10 Pick. R. 72; Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
TO RECORD, the act of making a record.
2. Sometimes questions arise as to when the act of recording is complete, as in the following case. A deed of real estate was acknowledged before the register of deeds and handed to him to be recorded, and at the same instant a creditor of the grantor attached the real estate; in this case it was held the act of recording was incomplete without a certificate of the acknowledgment, and wanting that, the attaching creditor had the preference. 10 Pick. Rep. 72.

Second-hand: vintage and antique jewelry get a new life
Deforestation, mercury release, greenhouse gas emissions… Jewelry may be a woman's best friend, but it's certainly not the planet. A problem that many players in the sector have tackled head on with ethical stones and precious metals, even innovative ones like osmium, but which could also find a solution in the second hand, which always has more followers around the world.
Antique jewelry has always had interested enthusiasts, collectors or amateurs looking for unique or rare pieces, steeped in history, even cheaper than new models. But until recently, these pieces were mostly unearthed in antique shops, at auctions, or in specialty shops, without ever being sold to as many people as possible. Faced with the climate crisis, the situation seems to have changed. Just like in the fashion industry, jewels can now afford a second life in just a few clicks thanks to the proliferation of dedicated platforms.
antique online
As with second-hand clothing, it is now a matter of buying antiques online and finding the ring, necklace, bracelet, earrings and other brooches that will please new buyers. The only exception is that the jewels are – of course – appraised before they are bought and then put back up for sale. This is exactly what the specialized platform 58 Facettes offers, with a permanent selection of nearly 10,000 designer pieces from the largest jewelers such as Cartier, Boucheron and Chaumet, or selected and certified by era and style, and even watches.
"We are convinced that the future of luxury, especially jewelry, depends on sustainability and the circular economy. We promote and make second-hand, vintage or signed jewelry more and more attractive, thanks to an unparalleled and constantly renewed offer."
But it is also up to the platform to offer many other services, always intended, among other things, to reduce the environmental impact of an entire sector. Upgrading, repairing, estimating and upcycling ensures that as many people as possible don't have to go to new. And Parisians will soon be able to take advantage of this expertise in physics, as 58 Facettes inaugurated an address in the heart of the capital, Galerie Sapir, on May 18, where all these services will be offered.
And if considered a benchmark in the field today, the platform created in 2020 has a number of predecessors, starting with Collector Square, which is dedicated to second-hand luxury items, including jewelry. Here too, it concerns the sale and purchase of vintage or old jewellery, but also the exploitation of the restoration, dimensioning and transformation of certain pieces through the jeweler's workshop. Boucheron's iconic Quatre ring is offered in several versions at more affordable prices than when new, as are the no less emblematic pieces from Chaumet's Liens collection.
The craze is so great that even the most mainstream brands are joining in, such as Maty, who now offers a "second-hand" section so anyone can buy and sell all kinds of jewelry.
Sometimes forgotten treasures
Extending the life of jewelry, sometimes forgotten at the bottom of a drawer, is one of the goals of most of these new platforms now dedicated to pre-owned, but it's not the only one. They also have a desire to tell stories through precious jewels, some of which were first worn in centuries past. This is the case of Anne-Lise Delsol, founder of Caillou Paris, and true treasure hunter, who brings together her discoveries obtained with passion in the brand's e-shop.
With this platform dedicated to vintage, the gemologist wants to "to modernize and desecrate ancient jewelry, to excavate pieces that will be like treasures, rare and unique, like their future owners, [et] tell and pass on their stories"†
A passion shared by Galerie Pénélope Paris, who wants to offer "a buy-back or sale solution" for those who want to give their jewelry a second life, with an area of expertise that extends from pearls to signed jewelry, including fine stones, modern jewelry and (very) old jewelry. At stake ? A wide choice of rings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants or brooches, which will not leave the enthusiasts indifferent.
These caves of Ali Baba 2.0 not only offer an ethical alternative to purchasing new jewelry, but also contain real treasures steeped in history that once again entice the public. So many reasons to suggest that the antique jewelry craze is still in its infancy.

Google Updates Desktop: MSFT Will Take Note
I can't write a full review here (I'm on a Mac…), but tonight Google takes the beta off its Google Destkop Search (this link is to my initial coverage, including a lot of ramblings on the implications). Taking off beta is no big deal, right? Well, no. It's a…
I can't write a full review here (I'm on a Mac…), but tonight Google takes the beta off its Google Destkop Search (this link is to my initial coverage, including a lot of ramblings on the implications).
Taking off beta is no big deal, right?
Well, no. It's a pretty big deal, because Google is adding a couple of things in release 1.0 which 1/make a lot of sense, and 2/will stir up a pot o' press reaction, all of which will have some variant of this headline: "Google Plans End Run Around Microsoft."
In short, the new version of Google Desktop will include APIs for any Windows application developer, letting anyone plug their application into GDS (ie, iTunes, chat, or…MSFT Office, for example). Developers can access these APIs to do two things – one, to make sure their documents are indexed by GDS, and appear as searched by GDS in any way they care to. And second, to plug Google search, all of Google search, into their apps.
In short, if you are Windows developer, you can now plug Google (yup, all of Google search, not just desktop) into your application. Isn't integrated search what MSFT is promising with Longhorn? Why, yes it is. But that's two years out. This is ready now.
So is this Google starting an all out war for the hearts and mind of Windows developers, and for the search habits of Windows users? Hell yes to the latter, but on the former, not yet, but it's sure as hell interesting. When I asked Nikhil Bahtla, GDS product manager, about this, he used Wordperfect as an example. Nice choice. I doubt MSFT will be busy working on a Word or Office plugin any time soon.
But wait, there is more. The new GDS will also create a floating "search box" independent of any browser, which you can place anywhere you want on top of Windows. Hmmmm. This sounds very, er, post browser, very…Web 2.0. See my musings on how web-based apps are starting to do to Windows what Windows did to DOS here….and man, this sure feels a lot like a paving stone down that particular road.
Given all this, I had to ask the Googlers I spoke to about the Microsoft issue, and they, as usual, ducked the question, saying they were merely providing features that Google's users were asking for. Certainly that's true. But certainly, it's also true that this release will cause no shortage of consternation up in Redmond.
Once you have APIs and desktop software like this, you need to create a major push to support developers. Will Google be doing this, I asked? No comment, at least not at this point. But expect it. It will be, of course, what "Google's customers will be asking for."
In any case, read more about the news here (only a ZDnet story now, but by Monday morning…). This is certainly getting interesting. Release in extended entry.

GOOGLE LAUNCHES DESKTOP SEARCH 1.0
Extending Desktop Search to PDF, Music, Video, and Image Files;
Supports Firefox and Netscape; Available in Chinese and Korean
MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. – March 7, 2005 – Google Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG) today announced the formal launch of Google Desktop Search, a free downloadable application which enables users to search for information on their own computers. Previously in beta, today's 1.0 release adds search over the full text of PDFs and the meta-information stored with music, image and video files. Additional enhancements include support for the Firefox and Netscape browsers, Thunderbird and Netscape email clients and new Chinese and Korean language interfaces.
"Google Desktop Search brings the power of Google search to information on the computer hard drive," said Jonathan Rosenberg, vice president of Product Management at Google. "It's like having a photographic memory of everything you've seen with your computer, right at your fingertips. We're proud to take Google Desktop Search out of beta, and we will continue to extend the utility of desktop search for users worldwide."
In addition to searching a wide range of computer files and email, Google is the first desktop search tool to access the full text of web page history and the only one to search AOL instant messages. Google Desktop Search can also be used to recover accidentally deleted or misplaced information. For instance, a user who unintentionally deletes a Word document or PowerPoint presentation can use the tool to find the text stored in Google Desktop Search. All results are accompanied by cached snapshots of each web page and document so users can access information even if they're not connected to the web or if a document has been deleted.
Google Desktop Search will also provide application programming interfaces (APIs) that enable software developers to create new and innovative applications using the desktop search product. Plug-ins developed with these APIs will be made available for download at http://desktop.google.com/plugins, enabling users to search new content types such as Trillian chats and the full-text of scanned images, such as faxes. More information on the Desktop Search APIs can be found on the web at http://desktop.google.com/apis.
Additional enhancements to Google Desktop 1.0 include a free-standing search box that users can place anywhere on their desktop; making access to desktop and web information faster and easier than before. In addition to enabling users to block HTTPS web pages, Google Desktop Search now also excludes all password-protected documents from Microsoft Word and Excel.
Google Desktop Search is available at http://desktop.google.com. It is currently available for Windows XP and Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and above. It requires 500MB of disk space, a minimum of 128MB of RAM, and a 400MHz (or faster) Pentium processor is recommended.

Watching Brin and Page dissect the Gates empire brick by brick. An exaggeration but it is taking that look. MSFT just takes the punches. Gates comes out with his boyish grin and seems to say "ah shucks".
We are in an interesting age. Nice post John.
z says:
Ad-free API is the bait. Give developers all they need. They would sure use them. Classic Microsoftie approach.
jr says:
I just hope that future developers make that sort of integration an optional part of their future applications. I'm still wary about ANY desktop search for my own exceedingly paranoid reasons.
John Hemsath says:
We met at IDG. I worked at IMS and you were running the standard. Like to discuss online publishing re: the 030605 SJMN article.
My apologies to all for using this forum but I couldn't find any other way to ping John.
Derek Leverington says:
I'm gravely concerned about what happens when spyware gets written with these kind of APIs built in. With the general slack level of user sophistication when it comes to monitoring these kinds of threats, it can just be a matter of time until spyware is using the the Google API's to report on all manner of sensitive information off user machines. All nicely indexed.
James MacAonghus says:
I'm not sure about John's take on this; there is too much focus on Google's desire to win the desktop, take on Windows, create an O/S and all that. Given John's access to Google insiders, I am loathe to suggest it is all exaggerated, but there is little actual evidence for such theories. I have posted on this here: http://aqute.typepad.com/aquteresearch/2005/03/google_desktop_.html . Yes, GDS is nice, and Microsoft will take notice (they already have, of course), but the event must be viewed in proportion.
Google has linked to your blog:
http://www.google.com/googleblog/2005/03/taking-plunge.html
In the current environment of lack of communication, lack of transparency, lack of response, and lack of accessibility, I simply do not trust Google enough to want to use it's desktop search – and I certainly wouldn't want to plug into the API with it.
Google search has been cracked and broken since Feb 5th. Yet the company has made no comment on this, other than a post in WebMasterWorld inviting companies to send e-mails if they feel they not being listed for their own names for no good reason needs checking out.
Also, autolink – the webmaster concerns are clearly there – Marissa May says she's listening, but rolling out expansion anyway.
Google cloaking – well, did you read that sorry debacle at Threadwatch?
Google is fast losing trust among webmasters. If they lose them, you can bet normal consumers will soon follow.
What will Google be then?
GDS has supported MS Office from the beginning.
