So when Chris, our current Fast Track RYA Yachtmaster realised that he had no crew for his charter last week – what else could we do but go sailing with him? Somebody had to do it! And our good friend Radu joined us as well!
We sailed from San Sebastian in La Gomera to Garachico on the North West side of Tenerife on the first day. From there, we sailed for about 38 hours to Rubicon, Fuertaventura – enjoying a very comfortable 3 on and 3 off watch system. A short stay before sailing to Gran Tarajal, Lanzarote and then on to Puerto Mogan, Gran Canaria.
After a good rest, breakfast and a bit of shopping, we sailed back home to Marina San Miguel, Tenerife!
Although a bit tired and now needing regular naps – it was a fantastic mile building cruise week that left everyone feeling exhilerated and smiling!!
To see a few photos, have a look at our Facebook page.


This Fall, we had the opportunity to work with a really special photographer, working on a really special project. Kelly Merchant, (along with Akira Ohiso and Ellie Ohiso) is the driving force behind Photography For Girls. A movement that consists of photographing women on their terms with realistic representation, portraying them in a light where they are comfortable in their own skin.


On Feb 04th the US president, Barrack Obama, proposed a $10 tax on imported crude oil. While a tax on imported oil is nothing new; remember India also imposes higher excise on petrol and diesel to enhance revenue collections in tough times. The point is that Obama plans to use the $10 tax on oil to finance clean transport initiatives.
The oil market is divided into net oil exporters and net oil importers. For starters, countries like the OPEC nations, Norway, Canada, Mexico and Russia are net oil exporters. For most of them oil revenues forms a very important part of their national revenues and is critical for them to manage their national budgets. On the other hand, there are countries like the US, EU nations, Japan, China, Turkey and India which are net importers of oil. Over the last 18 months, there has been a wealth transfer of trillions of dollars from the oil exporters to the oil importers. Most oil importers have benefited from that.
For most oil importers this sharp fall in oil prices will give them an additional leeway to earn revenues from cheap oil without putting a burden on domestic oil consumers. For example, India has used excise on petrol and diesel to make up for the shortfall in disinvestment and direct tax revenues. The proposed Obama tax of $10/bbl is exactly on those lines.
How will oil exporters react?
Oil exporters have already been exporting wealth to the oil importers over the last 18 months. This is apparent from the way their currencies have depreciated sharply versus the oil importers. A steep Obama tax of $10/bbl will make a lot of OPEC and other oil producers rethink their logic of keeping oil prices low and focusing on market share. When oil importers are using low oil prices to enhance their revenues, the oil exporters will surely do a rethink.

Hi Dorothy, I have booked you two tickets. I note you want two child tckets. This film is about the relationship between AA Milne and his son rather than Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh. 'Goodbye Christopher Robin' gives a rare glimpse into the relationship between beloved children's author A. A. Milne (Domhnall Gleeson) and his son Christopher Robin, whose toys inspired the magical world of Winnie the Pooh.


The first group of Webster university students travelled Ancient Olympia to visiting ancient theatres of Epidavros. From Webster St. Louis Webster university Athens welcomed the first semester students to study in abroad.
To orient the students the first week was designed in the city, campus, and ways to travel around. The week ended with a relaxing day at a nearby beach.
In coming weeks the students will learn about politics, history culture and society, archaeology, art and language of Athens.
Anna Gaffney who is studying in Human resource in Webster�s George and Herbert walker school of business and technology said the opportunities are endless. Studying in Greece is a life time experience. And there are many advantages studying there the students can go to beach, eat amazing foods, see Greek islands and can go tour throughout the world.
In that university professors are resourceful and encouraging. And they have regular trips to historical sites and museums to understand history.
Athens campus is beautiful with super location. Noah Laster a film production student said students can truly in the heart of city. On his first trip of abroad every students are friendly and patient.
Other destinations and excursions in Greece are part of program. In this semester the students will travel to Ancient Olympia and learn about many things. Students can also visit the archaeological sites of Mycenae & Delphi and the ancient theatre of Epidavros.
Their first weekend in Greece students travelled to the islands of Aegina, Poros and Hydra. Group study excursions are part of study aboard. To participate in study abroad at the Athens campus students need not know about Greek language. Majority of students enrolled in Greek language course.
Victoria Jewell said, learning second language with different alphabet is challenge. For the study abroad another popular course is community service learning. In this course students have an opportunity to volunteer in the local community and learn more about local culture and society.
Apart from this students will be volunteering a local refugee agency in Athens, and they also helping meals to more than 200 refugees during the Webster works worldwide.
And there is also another course known as two credit open water driver semester course. Many students are interested to learn how to dive in the blue water of the Aegean and learn about the underwater world.
Activities like traditional Greek dancing classes are planned for students. Greece is a real delight and the campus feels personal the locals are welcoming and the food is too good.

Interpol calls for funds to battle nuclear terror
A top Interpol official Thursday appealed to the international community for more funding so the agency can adequately combat nuclear terrorism. The international crime-fighting agency operates on an annual budget of about $70 million (€52.6 million), not enough money to implement all the necessary programs to battle terrorism, said David Gork, Interpol's director of specialized crime and analysis. "It's ludicrous, but again it comes down to the member countries providing the funding to support us," Gork said during a nuclear terrorism conference. "We are not being given sufficient resources to be able to do it." Gork did not name specific countries that needed to pay more, but called on the West to increase funding for training programs.

On Friday, Cyprus' energy minister hinted at the discovery of a significant gas field in the nation's exclusive economic zone. Eni is drilling a field called Calypso in Cyprus' lease block six, and if the report is correct, the Italian oil major may have hit another find comparable to its giant Zohr field offshore Egypt.
Cypriot minister of energy and commerce Yiorgos Lakkotrypis told reporters that while the geology of the formation is complex and requires further analysis, it appears to bear similarity to Zohr. At 30 trillion cubic feet, Zohr is the biggest gas discovery in the Mediterranean, and it is expected to reach an output of nearly three billion cubic feet per day by the end of the decade. A second find the size of Zohr would be a significant win for Eni.
"The findings are encouraging. A reserve has been located but the morphology of the particular target is complicated so we need more time," Lakkotryptis said. "I won't talk about quantities or anything else."
After completing the exploration well at Calypso, Eni's drillship will move on to another, shallower prospect named Squid. Later this year, Exxon and Qatar Petroleum will begin exploration in Block 10, just south of the block where Eni made its Calypso find.
American petroleum firm Noble Energy and Israeli partners Avner Oil, BG and Delek Drilling also have interests in Cyprus' offshore development. Together, the group has development rights for the 4.5 trillion cubic foot Aphrodite field, which is adjacent to Israeli waters.


The Macon County Archive is a great research facility that can be often overlooked. Archived here are most of the older surviving county records. There are facts included through out these varied holdings that are not accessible anywhere else. I encourage gleaming of these and of the privately donated material that can be a researchers Mecca.
Located in what was the Courtroom #2 in the Macon County Courthouse is the County Archive. You may wonder just what an archive is and why we have one. According to the dictionary an archives is a place designed for the keeping of historic records relating to any particular place. Our county needed an Achieve to help preserve it's records relating to our history and heritage. Macon County courthouses have been victim to three fires that destroyed all records prior to 1901 with the exception of Chancery Court. This office's records begin in 1844 when Chancery Court first started. They are not complete but do provide a vast amount of information.
The archive's history began in what was called the record room. The room was grossly too small, nothing more than a glorified closet, and the books were not in any order. Some could be found there while others were found in various nooks and crannies thru out the Courthouse with no office quite knowing just what records they did have. All the stray books were collected and placed in the Record Room and put in order thus beginning the Archives. To achieve this, a lot of clutter had to be disposed of from this room, clutter so dense that the permanent books and records were being harmed by it.
The Macon County Records Commission was established using guidelines created by the State Library and Archives in Nashville. Those serving on this commission are James Ralph Howser, Chairman, Malinda Ferguson, Secretary, Judge John Douglas Wootten, County Commissioners Helen Hesson and Dewayne Whittemore, and County Historian Randy East. Their purpose is to insure the proper destruction of any Courthouse offices records deemed of a non-essential status using guidelines supplied by the State Archive. This process is necessary or there would not be any room for vital permanent records due to the enormous amount of the temporary ones.
The State Achieve wanted a county Archive that was sanctioned and supported by the County Government. This was presented to the County Commissioners and it was voted to do so. At their regular session 22 February 1999, Randy East was appointed Archivist and also named County Historian, filling the void left by the death of long time County Historian Harold G Blankenship.
In the spring of 2002, the Archive was moved to the present location. There is now ample room for locating records related to each office. It is organized and grouped according to each particular office. There are work areas for researchers to use. Though the Archive is the place for all of the official County historical records, it is also the repository for any record, book, photo, or document that is historically significant to our County. This would include items such as old Bibles, diaries, photos, ledgers, newspapers, and or old books that perhaps once were in the Courthouse but fell into private hands. There have been school census records donated by the School Board, an old marriage book kept by early Esquire Sampson St. John Davis, and the Harold G Blankenship collection given by his family. There are several privately donated genealogical collections available for research. If there are such collections that need a protected environment in private hands, then the Archive is recommended for these and other records. Please consider the donation or loan of any item that would merit its' placement here you know the items you may have but didn't know what do with but wanted it shared and protected. Don't let it wind up in the burn or trash pile some day because the importance of it was not realized by your heirs.
If you have been entrusted with any such item and wish it to be of use to others but aren't quite sure what to do with it, then donating or loaning it to the Archives is the answer for you. Here it will be placed in the Archive Annex, a separate room designated for just these type articles, where it will be protected and available for research purposes, though the original may be locked away and a copy provided for handling. This insures that it will last throughout the ages, providing a use for it as it was intended.
Make plans to visit the Archive and learn firsthand of our County's early existence and of events through the ages. Support our Archive and help make it successful to guarantee its' existence for future generations.
Archive hours are Monday - Friday 8 am – 4 pm. Joyce King is the Archive Assistant and will provide help for you in any way needed and will ensure your Archive experience will be a most rewarding one.

"The manner in which it is given is worth more than the gift."
Back in the '70s, CB radios became popular, especially among the nation's truckers. You could tune in Channel 19 and listen to a constant chatter among truckers and others with radios. If you were traveling on an interstate highway, you could get info on traffic, weather, wreck scenes to avoid, radar traps, and other useful tidbits. It was like there was a whole other world of activity going on around you IF you had a CB radio. Those who didn't were oblivious to the activity - yet it was still there.
The same is true of the volunteer brigade - those who offer their time and talents to worthy causes without reward. In any given community, there is a work force that operates 24/7 without any expectation of reward. If you're not one of them, you are probably oblivious to their daily actions to serve the community - but they are out there working whether or not you know it.
One example that comes to mind is a recent wreck scene. At 1:00 AM a vehicle traveling at over 90 mph left the road, went over an embankment, and hit the bottom upside down. A witness to the crash was amazed to see about 15 firefighters, EMTs, and rescue squad volunteers on the scene within 5 minutes after the wreck was reported. The witness asked in surprise, "Where did you guys come from?" One minute traffic was normal, and those 15 volunteers were in their warm beds. Five minutes later they were saving a life.
There are many ways to make a life-altering contribution to others as a volunteer. Most are not as glamorous as saving a life, yet all contribute to the many unmet needs of community members. Each of us has talents that can be put to use for those in need. A little self-examination will help identify your potential contribution. With all the blessings we enjoy in this country, each of us should make an effort to reach out to others. Why not join the volunteer brigade today?

The educational aspects aren't unimportant — learning some science, good nutrition and the power of teamwork.
But the immediate task is this:
The Cultivate Kansas City farm on Gibbs Road in Kansas City, Kan., has dozens of partnering families that expect the farm to produce the sweet potatoes that are currently growing underground in several long beds of soil.
If the emerging green stalks get spring sunlight too soon, the potatoes will not reach the right size or color.
The children from both sides of the state line who came from the private Community School No. 1, at 6400 State Line Road in Mission Hills, stood ready. They had a giant pile of straw, several wheelbarrows, their hands and feet, and a couple of hours to get those potato beds covered.
"Let's get to work!" farm manager Alicia Ellingsworth said.
Many schools throughout the area have started gardens on their school grounds for many of the same lessons, and for the perks of harvesting some greens and fruits for their cafeterias.
But these children, who have been coming about once every two weeks from their school, get a different experience.
"This is not gardening," farm employee Sarah Graham said, looking out across the small plain of fields, greenhouses and growing tunnels.
It covers two acres in a patch of greenery amid Kansas City's inner suburban ring. It produces some 28,000 pounds of food a year for about 40 member families and partners that invest in the farm to reap its produce throughout the year.
What do the children get out of it?
"Yea, you get to go outside for a long time," 9-year-old Skye Bergerson said.
"We can all work together," said 7-year-old schoolmate Zoey Hrabe.
They learn "where our plants and vegetables come from, and how to grow them," Skye added.
And what else?
"That your shoes can get very muddy and heavy," he said.
The children at times seemed almost to be racing to do the most work, unfazed by the frequently mucky terrain on this damp, cool morning in May.
"This is not pretend," Community School No. 1 lead teacher Linda Powers said. "It isn't contrived."
They also see that farming does not have to be a rural experience. This farm is not far from their homes. One of their classmates, 10-year-old Evangeline Ellingsworth, is the daughter of the farm's director. That's how the connection was made.
This is like a neighborhood farm for them, and other schools could match with farms of their own, Alicia Ellingsworth said.
Some 60 farms and gardens now operate in the Kansas City area in a growing movement of community-supported agriculture, she said.
Children who drop in to join the work will learn "what it's like to eat when you're hungry and sleep when you're tired," she said. It's OK to get dirty and it's OK, she told the gathered students during a quick lesson about fertilizing, to say, "poop."
"That's technical language here."

Labor Day Weekend 2012, I had a place to stay with a friend and was off to see New Orleans, wanted to see why people I met in Austin were so fascinated by NOLA. This was right after a hurricane has hit the city and part of the city was still out of power. New Orleans is a neat city to visit, great Cajun food and a fun party town. I drove from Austin, took me about 8 hours.
Below: I took this picture, being a Beer Drinker, I like to try local beers, ABITA in this case.
The Famous Bourbon St. If you ever heard of mardi gras, this is the street where its all at. I got to New Orleans late Saturday evening, spent the night at a See Food restaurant. Below are some pictures I took of the city, if you are traveling across the USA, New Orleans is worth a stop though IMO I wouldn't spend too much time there. Below are few Pictures I took. There was a Gay parade in the city that day.
Did I miss any places, do comment and let me know.

Team Iceland Triumphs In Mexico — The Reykjavik Grapevine
Team Iceland Triumphs In Mexico
Steve Ganey
Team Iceland took the gold medal in the Young Men's Division 3 (B Group) Ice Hockey World Championship in Mexico City. Iceland defeated tournament hosts Mexico in the final game, which promotes Iceland up into Division 2.
Team Iceland had all but obliterated the competition in their march to the top, with big wins over Israel (12 – 0), Ireland (22 – 0), and South Africa (14 – 2). However, Mexico also handily dispatched each of their opponents by considerable margins.
The final game concluded on Saturday, March 19, and the clash lived up to the hype. Iceland won the hard-fought game 4 – 3, in a dramatic overtime shootout.
Iceland came out to an early lead, scoring twice in the first eight minutes of the game. Mexico quickly fought back with a goal only 68 seconds later. Iceland responded with another goal, making it 3 – 1 at the end of the first period.
Mexico pushed back in the second period with two more goals. Iceland was unable to answer, ending the second period in a 3 – 3 tie.
Both teams battled throughout the third period, but were unable to score. After a scoreless overtime period, the game, and the gold medal, was left up to a one-on-one shootout in front of the 1,900 fans in attendance.
Neither team could hit the back of the net in their first two attempts, but Iceland's Falur Guðnason finally got one past the goalie and clinched the title.

MIAMI >> Dwyane Wade had everything going. Jump shots, drives to the rim, passes out of the post.
He was vintage, on a night when the Miami Heat needed him to be that way.
Wade made 13 of 22 shots, added a team-best seven assists, and fueled the fourth-quarter burst that allowed the Heat to build enough of a cushion to hold off the Clippers in the final minutes.
Including playoffs, the Heat (4-2) have won 51 of their last 57 games when Wade scores at least 20 points, going back to June 2012. It's also the first time since last March that Wade has scored at least 20 points in four consecutive games, this streak immediately following him sitting out the second game of the season for rest.
Wade either scored or assisted on Miami's first six field goals of the fourth quarter, including a three-point play while getting fouled on a jumper by J.J. Redick. About a minute later, Wade set up Shane Battier for a 3-pointer that put Miami up 91-80, and the 2006 NBA Finals MVP punctuated it all with a fist pump.
Blake Griffin had 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers (3-3). His dunk with 31 seconds left got the Clippers within four, but Griffin allowed about 15 seconds to run off the clock without fouling James on the ensuing possession.
James made one free throw to push Miami's lead to five, and that closed the scoring.
Redick scored 15 points, Jamal Crawford added 14, Chris Paul finished with 11 points and 12 assists, and DeAndre Jordan had 11 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers, who led for most of the first half.
Chris Bosh, playing for the first time since his wife delivered a baby earlier this week, finished with 12 points for Miami as did Ray Allen and Chris Andersen had 10. The Heat extended their club record by scoring at least 100 points in a sixth consecutive game to start the season.
But James spent part of the game with a wrap on his back, which he said locked up on him after he dived for a loose ball in the first quarter. The issue, James said, has been nagging him for a couple weeks.
James still made a big play late. The Clippers had a shot to get within six with about 3 minutes left, as Redick drove toward the rim from the right wing. James an exceptional shot blocker in transition was stalking the play, and instead of challenging the league's four-time MVP at the rim, Redick tried a pullup 6-footer.
For the sixth time in as many games this season, the Heat found themselves in a quick deficit and for the fourth time, it was exactly 9-2, just as it was against Chicago, Washington and Toronto. The Heat trailed Brooklyn 11-3 early, and fell behind at Philadelphia on the season's second night by scores of 19-0 and 26-4.
The Clippers had a 56-52 halftime lead even with Paul being held to five points, his low for a first half this season. Griffin opened the second half with a 3-pointer, but the Heat outscored the Clippers by 15 over the next 15 minutes, mainly by clamping down on Paul.
Clippers forwrd Matt Barnes remained sidelined with what the team is calling a bruised right thigh. Rivers said he doesn't expect Barnes to be ready to play Saturday at Houston.

The Matinee '22 v. 014 – Another Vision, Mae Mae, Goon, Shaman Shaman, AUS!Funkt, Dana Gavanski, Skegss, My Idea
Published on February 2, 2022 February 2, 2022 by The Revue (Staff)
If Monday's mini-playlist felt like a Friday, then The Matinee '22 v. 014 continues the party with another extremely diverse selection of new music. Nine songs from 8 artists and bands from around the world are featured today.
These songs kick off our Songs of February 2022 playlist. It's short for now, but give it a follow on SoundCloud and Spotify to hear what new tunes we're digging every other day.
Another Vision – "Swipin" (Vienna, Austria)
RIYL: Phoria, Glass Animals, Autechre
Our introduction to Another Vision happened in November when Moritz Kristmann and Michael Schmückin shared the intergalactic "Rieger". It was a song that personified Vienna's music – the perfect marriage of its classical music history and burgeoning electronic scene. The duo, however, are not stuck in the past but rather they're forward thinking, exploring how they can make every song an experience. They once again live up to their name with "Swipin".
Swirling, hazy electronica merges with intoxicating dream-pop on Another Vision's latest single. A beautifully lingering guitar and stuttering percussion open the track, luring listeners in with a lush opening. Analog synths and additional production gradually enter the atmosphere, and the track transforms from classic to futuristic. In the process, the drama escalates with Kristmann's vocal subtly intensifying. His voice mimics billions of people's experiences today, specifically those who lose themselves in technology and, thus, become separated from reality. Their world resides in the images of Instagram, the reels of TikTok, and the video games played on computers, television screens, and mobile phones. Our only connections are virtual, and our humanity slowly fades away.
The duo's debut album is expected April 8th via soda. mit himbeer records.

Mae Mae – "Imposter" (Los Angeles via Atlanta, USA)
RIYL: Ariel Beesley, Carly Rae Jepsen, HAIM
It's time to stretch your legs and get the blood flowing. More importantly, it's time to pull yourself away from whatever you're doing, clear your mind, and be yourself. To help us put one foot in front of the other or maybe even to bust a move in the office is Mae Mae, the Atlanta native who recently released her debut EP, Gummy Heart Eyes. Filled with catchy, indie-pop-inspired tunes, the mini-album's highlight is "Imposter".
Indie-pop, synth-pop, funk, and disco-pop come together on this immensely addictive tune. A methodical groove welcomes the listener, as the percussion and the shallow synth tickle in the background. It causes us to move cautiously forward, but as the tempo quickens and the instrumentation builds, our movements quicken. We're no longer crawling but moving quickly to somewhere. But neither our legs nor arms are moving. Rather, our minds are racing, as we begin to focus on Mae Mae's lyrics. "So sweet / Maybe I'm a monster, an imposter", she sings. Despite the saccharine quality of her voice, traces of mystery and cynicism are etched in her voice. "I'm a little bit lost in words but no one can keep me quiet", she reveals her true identity in the end. For that matter, she rips away all our costumes and tells us to stop pretending to be someone else.
Spin Mae Mae's EP at these links and allow your true self to shine. It's a great way to get through another hump day.
Goon – "Garden of Our Neighbor" (Los Angeles, USA)
Paint by Numbers, Vol. 1 by Goon
RIYL: Sparklehorse, Boards of Canada, Red House Painters
We've mentioned this before but it's worth repeating – watching a band evolve is one of the most rewarding aspects of doing The Revue. For instance, when we were introduced to Goon five-and-a-years ago, they were creating cool, intelligent indie rock in the Kurt Vile mould. Their music has largely been energetic and sometimes explosive. So when the Kenny Becker-led group announced the release of "Garden of Our Neighbor", we were taken aback for a moment because the song was unexpected. Instead of the grizzled indie rock of the mid-2000s, the band turned the calendars even further back, heading to the '90s and the days of sadcore. In the process, they have created a gem of a song.
Mournful yet stunning, introspective and contemplative, the song is the meeting point of Sparklehorse's intimate ballads and Red House Painters' poignant omissions. The restrained approach gives the track is its emotional center, highlighted by the dissonant, shoegaze guitar. Becker, though, is the track's heart and soul. His fragile voice seems to be on the brink of breaking apart, as he shares a personal moment along the seashore. He sounds like he is ready to jump in and allow the cold Pacific waters engulf him. The moment is vulnerable, but intimately and beautifully told.
"In Emmy's bright morning
Lie still in the breeze
Them angels are blushing
The evening is green
It is at least to me
Way down deep"
Simply a stupendous song.
Goon are: Andy Polito (drums), Dillon Peralta (guitar), Tamara Simons (bass), and Kenny Becker (vocals, guitar, synth, drums, composer, engineer). The band's new EP, Paint by Numbers, Vol. 1, will be released February 25th on démodé recordings. Pre-orders available on Bandcamp.

Shaman Shaman – "Sisyphos" (Murcia, Spain)
Sisyphos by SHAMAN SHAMAN
RIYL: King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Ty Segall
Australia and the US have pretty much monopolized the arena of off-the-wall, mind-bending psychedelic rock. While a handful of bands from outside these two countries have attempted to join the likes of King Gizzard and The Lizard Wizard, Osees, and Ty Segall, most are only able to sustain such high levels for a song or two (although Kikagaku Moyo are also at this elite level). Could Spanish outfit Shaman Shaman be the ones who break this stranglehold? It's too early to draw a definitive conclusion since the band have been together for barely a year. However, their newest single definitely puts the psych-rock world on notice.
Get ready to lose your proverbial shit with "Sisyphos". This song rocks. Feverish guitars, full-throttle drums, and a hammering bass line ignite the air. While Shaman Shamam are just three dudes, they sound like a massive septet. Imagine what they would sound like with one or two additional guitars and a dedicated keyboardist? The sound demonstrates the potential of the band. They're not, however, one-trick ponies that know how to put together a great riff and an awesome rhythm section. Alfredo (drums), Pascual (bass) and Pons (guitar, keys, vocals) are also intelligent guys, as they use the mythical Greek king as a symbol of how they have long cheated death.
"Living for a plan
greater than you can understand

AUS!Funkt – "Take Your Sense Back" (Toronto, Canada)
Post-Stagnation EP by AUS!Funkt
RIYL: LCD Soundsystem + DEVO + My Baby
Just when you start to think the musical powers-that-be threw out the cookbook when LCD Soundsystem was born, a new-ish band arrives and has you doing double takes. That group is AUS!Funkt, who like the James Murphy-led outfit, are beyond labels because they are a mishmash of genres. They simultaneously occupy disco, art-punk, funk, indie rock, and electronica, but they never dabble too long in any one space. This combination of sound and this specific trait of never being stationary are what could make Miroslav Miskovic (aka Jozzef Ladovina), Evan Henderson, Olivia Korwan, and Hugo Frutuoso stars. Or at the very least, they'll become favorites of the underground scene thanks to songs like "Take Your Sense Back".
This single is outstanding. Every element captures one's attention – funky bass line, the impatient drumming, the swirling synths, and the echo of the electrifying, delayed guitar are all perfectly executed. Together they create a wondrous whirlwind of sound that sucks us into its vortex and keeps us there for its nearly 6-minute duration. But why would anyone want to escape this sonic wonderland that helps us rediscover who we are by taking us away from this reality filled with imposters? This is the rare song that truly makes us feel liberated. Makes us feel alive. To stay in this place, just keep the song on a loop, and it will sound like it is meant to be infinitely spun. And that's a good thing.
The song is taken from AUS!Funkt's new EP, Post-Stagnation, which can be picked up on Bandcamp.
Dana Gavanski – "Indigo Highway" (Montreal / Toronto, Canada)
RIYL: Aldous Harding, Kalmia Traver, Laura Marling
Dana Gavanski's debut record, Yesterday Is Gone was a gorgeous and creative folk record with a powerful voice behind it. Sadly, in 2020 Gavanski suffered issues with her voice. For a singer, that's among the worst things that could happen. It's something that may have made other songwriters give up. However, Gavanski took it as a challenge, to work around, cooperate, and overcome those issues.
On her latest single, "Indigo Highway", we hear a new Dana Gavanski. Her voice is still impactful, if different. The song sounds more playful with its simple bouncy synth and piano keys. The song has a youthful quality to it, and that adds to its charm. Gavanski says it's about a person from her childhood, and the memories with them. Paired with "Letting Go", released last year, it seems like Gavanski's upcoming record When It Comes is a reinvention for the artist, and a statement that she still has so much art to create.
Gavanski's sophomore album, When It Comes, is due April 29th via Flemish Eye Records and Full Time Hobby. Pre-order/pre-save it here.
Skegss – "Stranger Days" & "December" (Byron Bay, Australia)
RIYL: Noah Gundersen, Spacey Jane, Alex the Astronaut
As most know, it's summer Down Under, which means much of the music has a sunny disposition. This is perfect for those in the Northern Hemisphere who are enduring the chilly days of February because that means music to warm us up. Since their formation in 2014, Skegss have been known for turning up the temperature with their music. Their early years brimmed with fun-loving and energetic surf-rock and garage-rock. But as they've gotten older, they've found new ways to bring the heat. Or in the cases of "Stranger Days" and "December", they deliver songs that are more like comforting blankets.
On the former, they turn to Americana-rock a la Noah Gundersen and create a terrific, bonfire sing-along. The song is like a calm breeze at first before it hits the euphoric chorus of "ah ah ahs". This simple refrain, though, isn't what draws us into the track (it just offers a moment for everyone to join the band). Instead, it's Ben Reed's optimistic message that we can still live our lives in these "Stranger Days". As he tells us, "May your dreams never die" no matter what lies ahead.
With "December", Skegss deliver a little jingle that is made for Christmas. Even though that's 6 weeks passed, the message still rings true today. With a jangle-rock approach akin to their cousins, Spacey Jane, the band sing about reunions with family and friends, from whom they've been separated for years. "You don't know how much I've missed this / I'm just so glad it's Christmas", Reed sings. So grab your loved ones and remember these moments with them are precious because who knows when we'll see them again.
Skegss are Toby Cregan (upright bass), Jonny Laneway (drums), and Ben Reed (vocals, guitar, synth). The songs are out on Loma Vista Recordings. Streaming and purchasing links are available here as well as on Bandcamp.
My Idea – "Cry Mfer" (Brooklyn, USA)
CRY MFER by My Idea
RIYL: Waxahatchee, Laura Stevenson, Frances Quinlan
Palberta's Lily Konigsberg and Water From Your Eyes' Nate Amos put together a great EP last year as My Idea. That's My Idea was a great combination of folk and pop and full of intelligent songwriting that we'd expect from the duo. It's a great way to spend 15 minutes.
Thankfully, the duo have announced they will be releasing their first full-length record, Cry Mfer, and released its title track. "Cry Mfer" builds on the foundation laid on that early EP. A hypnotic guitar part intertwines with ambient synth, and Konigsberg's voice makes the song's early moments quite inviting. It doesn't change up too much from there, and it doesn't really have to. With more time on their hands, it feels like the duo can explore even more types of sounds. It's so easy for a listener to get lost in this song, especially as it just loops itself into its conclusion. The song is about Konigsberg needing to make a change, and trying to navigate through that.
Nothing ever lasts
That feels amazing
Circumstances bury what your heart's saying
Said I will be the one that says goodbye this time
I was needing something"
The duo's new album, Cry Mfer, is out April 22nd via Hardly Art. Pre-orders available here and on Bandcamp.

What are the many ways in which poverty contributes to ill health among the poor and to impeded development among poor children? This volume is the response of the New York Academy of Sciences to a request by the Council of Science Editors that medical and scientific journals all over the world publish an issue in October 2007 addressing the theme of poverty and human development. The Annals will publish advance chapters from this volume online to meet this global challenge, and the print publication will follow early in 2008.
Diverse elements contribute to poverty in the United States and elsewhere in the world, and the contributed chapters offer a look at this problem from the perspectives of many disciplines. The volume begins with chapters addressing specific diseases associated with poverty, such as tuberculosis, malaria, HIV/AIDS, lymphatic filiariasis, hookworm, and measles along with public health issues in the developing world. Other chapters address poverty and maternal health, health disparities, and human nutrition. The effect on human development of health care services, education, and housing are also addressed, as are the social, economic, engineering, and technology determinants of human development.
This volume, and this global publishing initiative, will raise awareness and stimulate interest and research into poverty and its pervasive effects on human development.

For the Kings, simple isn't better
PUBLISHED: January 9, 2008 at 12:00 a.m. | UPDATED: September 1, 2017 at 9:15 a.m.
It got to the point where Kings players were holding their breath every time the puck went into their zone early in a game.
So the Kings wanted to keep things simple to start Tuesday's game by clearing the puck, avoiding turnovers and trying to stay in the offensive zone as much as possible.
Instead, Nashville set a team record by scoring three goals in 1minute and 15 seconds early in the first period on the way to a 7-0shutout, the Kings' worst defeat of the season.
The Kings (15-27-2), who hadn't lost by more than four goals all season, were shut out for the third time and first since Nov. 19.
It's the eighth consecutive game they have allowed the first goal.
"It was a total collapse by our group," Kings coach Marc Crawford said. "I don't really have an explanation. I do know that, when you're as fragile as our team has shown itself to be of late, if you get scored on early like that it's probably the worst thing that can happen."
Fans at Staples Center weren't holding their breath or their tongues, increasingly booing the team with the NHL's worst record after each of the first-period goals.
Then the crowd of 14,751 broke into a "Fire Crawford!" chant midway through the second period, thatwhich was picking up steam around the arena before the Staples Center organ interrupted.
The Kings are back on a three-game losing streak after having strung together three victories, the first of which snapped an eight-game skid.
Each of Nashville's first three goals came on rushes that resulted from giveaways.
Goalie Jason LaBarbera was yanked after David Legwand beat him for a 3-0 Nashville lead 6:40 into the game.
LaBarbera had allowed ripe rebounds, a problem of his all season, to set up the first two Nashville goals. Darcy Hordichuk took a rebound from a Scott Nichol shot and scored the first goal 5:25 in. Jason Arnott shot off LaBarbera's pads, got his own long rebound amid a group of three Kings players and scored the second goal 46 seconds later.
The 1:15 between goals was 40 seconds faster than Nashville had ever scored three times in its 10-year history.
"There's no excuses for that," Kings forward Anze Kopitar said. "We played awful from the first guy to the last guy. It cannot happen again. We're all very disappointed."
The last time the Kings lost by seven goals was a 7-0 defeat in Nashville on Dec. 23, 2006.
The team had shown a knack for fighting through deficits of lately, coming back to tie or take the lead in the previous five games.
But this one snowballed out of control after goalie Jean-Sebastien Aubin, in relief for LaBarbera, turned the puck over and was beaten by a slap shot from Nichol less than four minutes into the second period.
Nashville (21-19-2) scored once more in the second and twice in the third.
"This is the first game in months we played poorly and we played awful tonight," Crawford said. "It was a stinker, there's no two ways about it. You can't mask this one in any way. It was awful and we all have to take responsibility for it."

New Show Introduction: Alias Grace
Posted in New Shows, Recommendations, Reminder, Television, Video on October 30, 2017| Leave a Comment »
On November 3, the new Netflix series Alias Grace will debut online.
The series follows Grace Marks (Sarah Gadon from 11.22.63), a poor, young Irish immigrant and domestic servant in Upper Canada who, along with stable hand James McDermott (Kerr Logan), was convicted of the brutal murders of their employer, Thomas Kinnear, and his housekeeper, Nancy Montgomery (Anna Paquin from True Blood), in 1843. James was hanged while Grace was sentenced to life imprisonment. Grace became one of the most enigmatic and notorious women of 1840s Canada for her supposed role in the sensational double murder, and was eventually exonerated after 30 years in jail. Her conviction was controversial, and sparked much debate about whether Grace was actually involved in the murder, or merely an unwitting accessory.
The series also stars Paul Gross (Due South), Zachary Levi (Chuck), Rebecca Liddiard (Houdini and Doyle) and Edward Holcroft (Kingsman movies).

SamCart is a checkout platform which Features conversion-optimized checkout templates together with upsell, arrange subscription bump and payment strategy capacities which are intended to maximize profits.
If you are a person that wants to set up a shopping cart SamCart is for you. You are able to get up and running in under half an hour. I set up of my stuff in about twenty five minutes, but that's probably because I saw a YouTube videos about it.
The reason that SamCart has managed to Because they provide numerous features that help retailers earn more cash, grow is. Whether you're running an e-commerce shop or selling info products, these attributes will help you make money and have SamCart pay for itself.
You're going to find a link for this page, so that you can send it out to potential affiliates, post it on your website, or send it from your own email list. I invite them to become affiliates whenever my email readers go months without anything from me. Hey, if they are not purchasing something, it's still a way for me to profit from them.
When a potential affiliate fills your program, they will be shown a message which their account is"pending approval". When that occurs, you'll get a notification that they applied via email. It will also include buttons to accept or reject the person's application. If you'd like, you can even set it up to automatically accept affiliates.
SamCart's default affiliate commission is 50 percent. However, you can customize this payout to. You may pay your affiliates a flat rate commission (a set dollar amount per purchase ) or a proportion. I've had a lot of success by raising the affiliate payout for top-performing affiliates to give a bonus to market even more to them.
One of the coolest things about SamCart is they have 18 professionally designed templates which are proven to convert. Honestly, I really don't think the templates ALL are that good, but I really do love most of them. My favorite is the classic template.
All the templates have hope components like reviews, guarantees, and security reassurances that provide your clients the peace of mind they will need to enhance your conversions.
Once you choose your checkout page, it is easy to customize it by changing the colors of the header, footer, buttons, etc.. You can even pick the fields that you would like to include and you can add custom bullet points to describe the product your customer is purchasing (I have found bullet points to be particularly helpful, which is the reason why you see them on all of my sales pages).
I do a good deal of advertising on Google AdWords, where a lot of my traffic comes from mobile. I discovered that with my previous shopping cart, people were abandoning in a speed, which meant I had been flushing my ad spend down the bathroom. SamCart helped my boost my conversions.
Plusthey have a trendy"sandbox" mode, which enables you make sure everything is working before going live with your goods. With my shopping cart that is previous, I actually had to print everything and then test it. I hated doing that. With SamCart, I can test payments without going live and without charging your credit card (and messing up your stats).
When I told my friends that I was composing a SamCart review, they told me I must stress how awesome their click upsells are, and I agree.
If you're selling online and you aren't offering upsells, you're leaving a great deal of money on the table. In fact, back in 2006, Amazon reported that 35% of its revenues were from its own efforts that were upselling. If Amazon is making that much money don't you think it deserves your consideration?
An upsell is a strategy that helps you increase your average order value. You likely upsells all the time and do not even understand it. You do not need to get the extended warranty for your vehicle, but it is there as an upsell for people that don't want to worry about maintenance. Restaurants like to offer it, although you do not HAVE to have dessert after dinner.
This feature is unique because it offers you the capability to add many different payment choices onto a single checkout page. For my $997 online course, Teachable is used by me, and even they don't provide this feature. If a customer wants the payment plan, I have to have checkout pages. I WISH I could use SamCart for that.
The 1 page voucher takes multiple payments into a whole new level because it keeps traffic on the page while they decide how to cover. If you've ever sold anything on the internet, you realize how important it is to keep your visitors.
Cross-selling is a strategy to sell products that are associated with the one the client already owns. A cross-sell would be gas or car insurance, if a client buys a vehicle from you.
You may be familiar with this as bundling. When you bundle the product and auxiliary products together, you are able to increase your profits on each sale. McDonald's does this well by selling fries and beverages.
When I first started selling subscription products online, I was naive enough to think that everyone would pay in time, every time. I guessed that if I was good enough honor my duties and to pay my bills, so would everybody else.
Boy, was I naive. Turns out there are some losers online. Individuals who decline cancel credit cards simply to get out of making payments or fees. After this happens, your subscription income is gone. Barring any legal action (such as sending a demand letter… if you have the customer's address) you can't get your cash. Sad.
But now with SamCart, your subscriptions have been guarded from declined payments and expired credit cards. Every time a payment fails, SamCart sends your client an email on your behalf – that the email has a link where clients can upgrade the payment they have on file, right . This means that you don't have to waste your precious time hounding your customers.
Is not it bizarre that people talk about split testing their sales pages, their sites that are supersized, their email subject lines, and much more… but they don't ever speak about testing their checkout page?
Fortunately, SamCart offers the capacity to run live split tests. This is AMAZING. You will double your sales In case you have a abandonment rate and your split-testing snags you ONE extra customer. Yes, DOUBLE YOUR SALES. Just like that.
SamCart lets you change almost any setting you need, so you can test any variant that tickles your fancy. You can alter the template, try a different warranty (I've found that the longer, the greater ), eliminate some areas (I've found the less, the greater ), and much more.
Once you have your variations created, SamCart automatically tests between your variations. You don't have to do anything except watch the results roll in. You can head over to the"AB Test" section in the item's settings to see how the variants are doing. Once you find a winner, SamCart allows you to easily disable the loser.
The only thing you can't split-test using SamCart is your product's cost. You'll have to create two distinct goods and conduct a test between those two products, if you would like to do that.
When it comes to A/B analyzing, experience tells me that you should test the major stuff first (like entirely different templates) and work your way down to the minute particulars. Oh, and wait until you've got a sample size until you call it a day.
Based on what study you read, 80% of individuals That"add to cart" on your website will abandon that cart. You may add a significant amount of cash, if it is possible to get a small amount of those people to convert.
SamCart's whole value proposition is their checkout site templates have been tested to the gills and they have been proven to convert more compared to their competitors. You ought to ensure that you're maximizing your conversions if you sell things online, and SamCart can help you do that.
Plus, most checkout pages aren't designed to maximize the amount of profit which you get from each sell. Things such as upsells and order lumps enable you to include more profit.
By way of example, I sell a $97 PDF on my site. When I used a checkout form, I wouldn't have the ability to bring an upsell. But because I offer an upsell, roughly one out of every three individuals take my offer .
Because of this one simple attribute, I am adding an average of $20 to each and every purchase of the product. That's like giving myself over a raise that is 20% simply by having that feature. Which means that I can devote an additional $20 on advertising grow my business faster and to acquire a customer.
My SamCart feature is hands-down the Client and training support that they provide. They have a lot of videos in what is called their"Knowledge Base" that shows you how you can use their applications (although it's already pretty easy) and they supply a good deal of instruction on how best to make more cash if you're selling online.
I didn't have a Opportunity to incorporate SamCart with a Lot of tools, simply because I do not use that many. I use use PayPal, Drip, OptinMonster and Stripe.
SamCart allows you to easily sync with a bunch of tools, including email, marketing automation, registration, and payment processing. It was super easy for me to incorporate my entire system with SamCart and I envision it would be the exact same for nearly all individuals out there.
Even at the Premium level, SamCart is a complete steal with the features. However, I've discovered that the Basic is great enough however you want to get the program, if you're doing a lot of business on the internet.
Also remember that if you are wanting to save a little cash, they offer you a discount if you pay annually. I recommend that you make the most of their free trial (to ensure that it's definitely right for you) then paying annually to conserve money. If you pay yearly, the Pro plan is $888 per year (that saves you $300) and the Premium program is $1,788 per year (which saves you $600).


I would appreciate anyone's help, tips, or advise. I am nervous and excited!! I currently have one client booked for the summer part time, and I am hoping to obtain a couple more!! Thank you!!!
My biggest regret is accepting part time because I am limited to my numbers (which I think most of us are but the number is different for every province), so that is my number one tip for you!! Now, if someone wants part time, they have to pay for a full time spot. I do have a holiday fee though that they pay for days they are not here if I'm given notice.
Welcome Cathy...I certainly have to agree with 5 little monkeys regarding part time.. come Jan. 2016 you will only be allowed 5 children in your care...and NO MORE than 2 under 2...so I will NOT be having any part timers....I love this site...hope you will too.!
I'm still wondering though....I haven't seen anything in writing in the paper, or on the news....so how would one know about the current rules that are in effect?
This is where it gets complicated because....well....o ur handy dandy government sorted it all out. I can't possibly be straight forward. Any children brought in after Royal Assent (Dec 4th, 2014) are to follow the current rules. HOWEVER, nothing is being enforced until Proclamation which is projected to happen in the fall at the earliest....or so they say...but who knows. This is my understanding based on a letter I received from the Ministry a few weeks back. The regulatory process is underway this week. CICPO has won a seat at this. Kim LeGallais will be attending this week's meeting. We're not sure how the rest will play out, but we got a seat, which is HUGE!!!
So....Proclamation is the time to be fully compliant. But, who knows when they'll do that, which is why being compliant now makes sense.
I have some updates regarding Bill 10 and what's going on...will post separately for those not on FB who wish to keep up.

'Indiana Jeans'
A Durangoan scored some pretty precious ink last week. Brit Eaton, owner of Carpe Diem and a local yard sale/flea market regular, landed a story in the March 9 edition of the New York Times. The title of the story was "Indians Jeans."
The tale opened by saying that "heritage" and "authenticity" are dominating current fashion trends, and Eaton is the "closest thing we've got to a fashion archaeologist."
"He's the first domino in a chain that eventually tumbles into department stores," the story stated. "The discarded, often filthy garments and fabric swatches that he deals in not only hold the secrets to the shapes, dyes, weaves and details of the styles of tomorrow, they also represent a forgotten time and place."
Carpe Denim, Eaton's College Avenue store, specializes in "pre-20th-century denim," and his clients include some of the biggest names in the fashion industry as well as Hollywood icons.
"Eaton, 38, is the best in his field, and not just because he has a great eye for combing flea markets," the story continues. "Equipped with old maps of ghost towns and abandoned mining camps, he has hit the road in search of denim 10 days of every month for the last 10 years. Since a great score can fetch more than $10,000, he's pretty sanguine when he comes up empty."
Following his "pirate nature," Eaton and the author go hunting for priceless pants in Billings, Mont. Along the way, he explains, "Denim is like a canvas that paints itself through time. A 1950s jean bought secondhand will outlast a 2007 jean."
The world's greatest ...
Speaking of limelight, a Durango institution landed some technicolor and a lofty title this week. On March 17-19, the Rocky Mountain Institute of Healing Arts was featured on the television show, "The World's Greatest … ," as the world's greatest massage school.
"We were impressed by the school's holistic approach," said Rob Ash, the show's assistant producer. "They are dedicated to rigorous academics yet also focus on personal growth and creativity."
Filming was done last September and the show aired last week on ION channel. The program features an interview with Rebecca Mauldin, director of the school, classroom action shots and views of Durango.
The Rocky Mountain Institute of Healing Arts started in Dolores in 2001 and has operated in Durango since 2002.
