The London based party Cirque Du Soul is currently making their way round the UK on the Autumn Tour. Having already visited Manchester and Leeds (for the first time), Cirque Du Soul are showing love for the North as they have announced a second Leeds date that will take place on the 4th of December, which comes after dates in Edinburgh, Newcastle, Brighton and Birmingham.
The tour, which extends to the Leeds date, will be showcasing an eclectic mix of house, hip-hop, garage and more as guests from all over the world play amongst Cirque Du Soul's dressed up surroundings. Expect glitter, feathers, top hats, canes and corsets as boys dress up and girls dress down, not to mention unbelievable production that has cemented Cirque Du Souls reputation as the UKs favourite feel good party.
Guests that will be playing throughout the UK include Horse Meat Disco, Jazzy Jezz and James Zabiela, however Canal Mills will be playing host to none other than the disco deviant that is Tensnake. Fitting perfectly with the feel good vibe that will be adorning the walls at Canal Mills, expect plinky plonky keyboards and hands in the air moments that will raise the hairs on the back of your next.
Also joining Tensnake will be Weaver Bros, Luke Wolfman, Mylo Harvey, Dirty Burb and many more who are yet to be announced.

LOCOG Unveil Olympic Torch Relay Rehearsal
By iSportconnect | April 20, 2012
Today's dress rehearsal for the Olympic Torch Relay has been confirmed by The London 2012 Organising Committee (LOCOG), which will see 122 students and participants take part in the run up to this summer's showpiece event.
The test will take place from the Leicester to Peterborough route and will be monitored/tested by up to 400 people during the course of the day.
Although the torch will not be lit during rehearsal, it is understood teams from LOCOG, the Olympic Torch Relay Presenting Partners (Coca-Cola, Lloyds TSB and Samsung), the Metropolitan Police Torch Security Team, host police forces and host Local Authorities are all taking part. A typical day on the Relay will include a team of around 370 people.
Sebastian Coe, Chair of LOCOG, said: 'The dress rehearsal is a great opportunity to test all parts of the Olympic Torch Relay. I would like to thank the host Local Authorities and Police Forces for working with us on this rehearsal.
'Tests are essential to ensure the smooth running of our operations around the Torch Relay. When all the final elements are added for the Relay itself the excitement will really build for the start of the London 2012 Games and the UK will get its moment to shine.'
Starting on 19 May, the Olympic Torch Relay will travel around 8,000 miles around the UK, coming within 10 miles of 95% of the population.

Wildlife: butterflies, other insects & spiders
Fireflies, Honey, and Silk
By Gilbert Waldbauer
The ink our ancestors wrote with, the beeswax in altar candles, the honey on our toast, the silk we wear - This enchanting book is a highly entertaining exploration of the myriad ways insects have enriched our lives - culturally, economically, and aesthetically. Entomologist and writer Gilbert Waldbauer describes in loving, colorful detail how many of the valuable products insects have given us are made, how they were discovered, and how they have been used through time and across cultures. Along the way, he takes us on a captivating ramble through many far-flung corners of history, mythology, poetry, literature, medicine, ecology, forensics, and more. Enlivened with personal anecdotes from Waldbauer's distinguished career as an entomologist, the book also describes surprising everyday encounters we all experience that were made possible by insects. From butterfly gardens and fly-fishing to insects as jewelry and sex pheromones, this is an eye-opening ode to the wonder of insects that illuminates our extraordinary and essential relationship with the natural world.

AeroEnvironment's newest UAV is rumored to look at lot like the Helios Prototype, which crashed in 2003.
AeroEnvironment's newest drone will mirror its prior creation, the Helios Prototype.
A race is on to build a fleet of solar-powered drones that beam internet down to the Earth beneath them, and the tech titans are dominating this chase—or so we thought. But now that Google and Facebook both have dashed their plans for roaming unmanned internet planes, a lesser known company is partnering with NASA to bring the project closer to reality, according to an IEEE Spectrum report.
It is the Hawk 30, a massive 10-engine drone in the vein of previous UAVs made by Airbus and the solar-powered Odysseus plane that can fly for months on end. The product of Japanese tech giant SoftBank and U.S. drone manufacturer AeroEnvironment, the Hawk could soon embark on test flights, with a launch from NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center potentially slated for this week.
The Hawk, though part of a new $65 million partnership between the two companies, is part of the same family as previous UAVs AeroEnvironment built for NASA. One of those was the Helios prototype, which crashed in 2003 during a high-altitude test. The Hawk mirrors its ill-fated predecessor in both ambition and design. In 2001, the Helios reached the highest altitude of any winged horizontal aircraft when it ascended to 93,000 feet. The milestone set a new precedent for high-altitude, solar aircraft.
Photos of the Hawk 30 are scant, but per images dug up by IEEE Spectrum, it looks like the wide-bodied cousin of the Helios.
This Nine-Part 'Flex-Plane' Drone Wobbles in Wind
While it may be years from commercial readiness, the Hawk 30 has big implications for the broadening of wireless connectivity in remote regions, if indeed it can succeed where others have failed: Facebook made a splashy foray into the internet-beaming drone race by announcing Aquila, a solar-powered UAV the size of a Boeing 737's wingspan that used propellers to ply air. (The project was abandoned in 2017 after the drones were damaged in landings). Google too began vetting its sky-born internet capabilities in 2015, but later scrapped drones in favor of Project Loon, which uses high-altitude balloons to beam down internet.
The Hawk will still have to fend off competition from the likes of Airbus, but its prospects are lifted by AeroEnvironments connections with NASA. IEEE Spectrum reports the company is contracted with the space agency for three flight tests that will take the drone up to 10,000 feet, with the intention go much higher if initial tests are successful:
AeroVironment is paying NASA nearly $800,000 to supervise and provide ground support for the upcoming low altitude tests, which are scheduled to continue until the end of June. If those are successful, the company will go higher in its next round.
There's currently no word on the Hawk's communications payload capacity, but its creators certainly hope that it helps expand wireless internet access across the globe. First, though, it will have to make it out of testing unscathed.

It's my daughter's birthday this weekend. Happy Birthday, Daisy! 14 and starting her last year in middle school. I'm really lucky; she loves Girls Rock Radio. It's one thing that we can share. Well, there's more than just GRR, but not all parents can say their taste in music matches up pretty well to their kids. I know my mom would never say that! lol.
Some things are going on behind the scenes with this new site. I've had to fix some messed up stuff in Internet Explorer. Firefox always did look great. Not all problems are fixed in IE. Those of you using IE are seeing extra space at the bottom of the Now Playing and Search boxes over on the right. Might be a PITA to fix those, but I will try.
In the mean time, there's a new Frapper Map page that I should be able to put up any time now, but I also need to work on the menu in order for it to show up anywhere. I'm really scratching my head trying to figure out how to do the Playlists & Requests pages. They are rather unique.
Just mainly wanted to give you a little update and let you know that stuff is going on with the new site.
Hope you all have an awesome holiday weekend if you're living in the USA, and an awesome normal weekend if you're elsewhere.

Q: Proper type hint for functools.partial What's the proper type hint for functools.partial? I have a function that returns a partial and I want to type hint it so mypy doesn't throw any error:
def my_func() -> ?:
    return partial(foo, bar="baz")

More specific than typing.Callable

A: You have a couple of options here, depending on exactly what you're going for.
I'm going to assume for example that foo is defined
def foo(qux: int, thud: float, bar: str) -> str:
    # Does whatever
    return "Hi"

If we use reveal_type we find that partial(foo, bar="blah") is identified as functools.partial[builtins.str*]. That roughly translates to a function-ish thing which takes anything and returns a string. So, you could annotate it with exactly that, and you'd at least get the return type in your annotation.
def my_func() -> partial[str]:
    ...

a: str = my_func()(2, 2.5) # Works fine
b: int = my_func()(2, 2.5) # correctly fails, we know we don't get an int
c: str = my_func()("Hello", [12,13]) # Incorrectly passes. We don't know to reject those inputs.

We can be more specific, which takes a bit of care when writing the function, and allows MyPy to better help us later. In general, there are two main options for annotating functions and function-like things. There's Callable and there's Protocol.
Callable is generally more consise and works when you're dealing with positional arguments. Protocol is a bit more verbose, and works with keyword arguments too.
So, you can annotate your function as
def my_func() -> Callable[[int, float], str]:

That is, it returns a function which takes an int (for qux) and a float (for thud) and returns a string. Now, note that MyPy doesn't know what the input type is going to be, so it can't verify that bit. partial[str] would be just as compatible with Callable[[spam, ham, eggs], str]. It does, however, pass without errors, and it will then helpfully warn you if you try to pass in the wrong parameters to your Callable. That is,
my_func()(7, 2.6) # This will pass
my_func()("Hello", [12,13]) # This will now correctly fail.

Now, let's suppose instead that foo were defined as follows.
def foo(qux: int, bar: str, thud: float) -> str:
    # Does whatever
    return "Hi"

Once we've got a partial passing bar as a keyword argument, there is no way to get thud in as a positional argument. That means there's no way to use Callable to annotate this one. Instead, we have to use a Protocol.
The syntax is a bit weird. It works as follows.
class PartFoo(Protocol):
    def __call__(fakeSelf, qux: int, *, thud: float) -> str:
        ...

Teasing apart that __call__ line, we first have the fakeSelf entry. That's just notation: if call is a method, the first parameter gets swallowed.
Next, we have qux, annotated as an int as before. We then have the * marker to indicate that everything following is keyword only, because we can no longer reach thud in the real method positionally. Then we have thud with its annotation, and finally we have the -> str to give the return type.
Now if you define def my_func() -> PartFoo: you get the behaviour we want
my_func()(7, thud=1.5) # Works fine, qux is passed positionally, thud is a kwarg
my_func()(qux=7, thud=1.5) # Works fine, both qux and thud are kwargs
my_func()(7) # Correctly fails because thud is missing
my_func()(7, 1.5) # Correctly fails because thud can't be a positional arg.

The final situation that you could run into is where your original method has optional parameters. So, let's say
def foo(qux: int, bar: str, thud: float = 0.5) -> str:
    # Does whatever
    return "Hi"

Once again, we can't handle this precisely with Callable but Protocol is just fine. We simply ensure that the PartFoo protocol also specifies a default value for thud. Here I am using an ellipsis literal, as a gentle reminder that the actual value of that default may differ between implementations and the Protocol.
class PartFoo(Protocol):
    def __call__(fakeSelf, qux: int, *, thud: float=...) -> str:
        ...

Now our behavior is
my_func()(7, thud=1.5) # Works fine, qux is passed positionally, thud is a kwarg
my_func()(qux=7, thud=1.5) # Works fine, both qux and thud are kwargs
my_func()(7) # Works fine because thud is optional
my_func()(7, 1.5) # Correctly fails because thud can't be a positional arg.

To recap, the partial function returns a fairly vague functionish type, which you can use directly but would lose checking against the inputs. You can annotate it with something more specific, using Callable in simple cases and Protocol in more complicated ones.

Modernizing Markham | Recreating the recipes of Gervase Markham for a modern audience.
I've been busily researching for my book on Colonial foodways, but I've had an additional opportunity come along that works really well in tandem with it. Thankfully I can research both at the same time (because they both deal with some similar topic areas), so I'm interested to see how they build off each other!
My new book will be published as part of a series on the history of different meals. The series editor, Ken Albala, is someone who has inspired me professionally and as a cook, so when I had the chance to work with him on this project I jumped at it! My book will be on the history of afternoon tea, which is a staple in English culture. I'll be going beyond describing the meal itself by discussing how tea came to England and how the light afternoon meal developed in English culture. I'll also be focusing on England as a colonial power, by looking at how (or whether) afternoon tea became a part of different cultures during the Colonial period, and what it looks like in those cultures today.
After much (much!) delay, including the completion of my PhD, my move to Atlanta to start my job as Rare Books Curator at Kennesaw State University, and many other adventures, I'm finally finding a free moment to start on the second book in the MM series. One of the approaches I considered in this book was seeing what from Markham's text could be applied to urban container gardening, and given that I live in an apartment without an in-ground garden space, that looks like the path I'll be pursuing. One sticking point is the limited amount of sun in my yard, but that's something Future Julia gets to deal with (lucky her).
For now, I'm starting to research the new book, beginning with a quick revisit to English Housewife, and moving on to Markham's Farewell to Husbandry, Or, The Enriching of All Sorts of Barren and Sterile Grounds in our Kingdome, To Be as Fruitfull in all Manner of Graine, Pulse, and Grasse (at least we know Markham likes to keep his titles short and to the point). EEBO has put some of their online resources into print, so I'll be looking at a printed reproduction of this book (unlike Best's reprinting of English Housewife, which reprinted the text itself, this book is just the scans of the original text, so has all the printing quirks commonly found in books of this era).
The book is also going to include some recipes made from locally-sourced produce, so I can talk about how some of these English recipes might look in Georgia, and how they do and don't mesh with farm-to-table approaches to food. Imported food was definitely a component of the early modern English diet, although less so in the country where residents were farther from central markets. Markham encouraged frugality to a greater extent than many of his peers, so he pushed his readers to maintain a kitchen garden and use food scraps for compost and animal feed. Part of the reason he could encourage this was because he targeted country gentry rather than city dwellers like myself, who have to be a bit more creative with where and how they grow their own food. If you're very lucky (or I'm feeling very adventurous), I might play around with comparing some recipes and gardening approaches from other contemporary authors with Markham. Or maybe that will wait until book number 3!
Finally, I'm hoping to acquire (through purchasing or donations) books to build up our collection of English cookery manuals at the Bentley, particularly since English books are one of our focus areas. I'm also hoping to collaborate with culinary programs and other food-focused folks to do work around historic foodways, so some of that may be appearing on the blog too. It feels good to be back!
Announcing the Topic of my Next Book!
This is excellent news, because it gives me some time to research Markham's gardening recommendations over the summer, so I can start planting things using his methods during the next planting season. That's especially good since our summers here in Florida aren't like the summers in England at all, so the Autumn/Winter will be a bit closer!
Thanks to everyone who voted–I'm looking forward to the project!
There has been a bit of radio silence on the blog for a few months, but with very good reason: I've just published Modernizing Markham as a book! All the recipes are there, along with the historical discussions and some additional goodies that aren't on the blog. As an added bonus, I'm donating a portion of my profits to the Center for the Book, which gave me tons of support and guidance as I worked on the project.
After my interview in the Indiana Food Review, I decided I would write a short article talking a bit about what I learned while doing this project. It was just published, and you can find it here. While the blog has been at a standstill, things have been happening with my Markham work, so keep your eyes peeled for an update/announcement that will be coming soon!
Hello MM readers! So I haven't posted anything in about 6 months, and in that time I've moved from Iowa to Florida and started in my new PhD program. Hooray! The MM project that I was doing for the Center for the Book has wrapped up, but fear not–I'm keeping this blog up so people can still read the recipes and learn more about Markham and early modern cooking. And I'll still be around to answer questions about the project and read your comments, so don't be afraid to drop me a line! Even though this project is "officially" over, I still do a lot of cooking. In fact, I just started a new food blog last week to share the recipes I create and share links to other recipes that inspire me. It isn't as specific as this project (more of a hodgepodge of all sorts of foods) but Markham has been such an inspiration that I bet he'll pop up on there quite a bit!
I also have been meaning to share photos of our Center for the Book final project show, so here they are! These are photos of the bound book and the calligraphy I designed for the book arts portion of the project, and these are pictures of the show itself. It was so much fun, and I love that I got to showcase my work alongside some very talented and creative folks.
So even though this blog won't be updated much anymore, I hope you still look at the recipes and the history posts for inspiration, and visit my other blog to see the wide world of food I'm exploring. Thanks again to everyone for reading and commenting on one of the most fun and exciting projects I've gotten to engage in, and keep in touch!

Cantores Minores är en finländsk gosskör som är knuten till Helsingfors domkyrka. Kören grundades 1952 av Tarmo Nuotio och Ruth-Esther Hillilä. Sedan 2005 har körens chefsdirigent varit  Hannu Norjanen. Körens repertoar utgörs av musik från medeltiden till nutid men framför allt av musik av Johann Sebastian Bach och moderna finländska tonsättare. Republikens president Sauli Niinistö är körverksamhetens och resornas permanenta beskyddare.

Sedan kören bildades har över 3 000 pojkar ock unga män sjungit i Cantores Minores. Sångarna är i åldrarna 4–25 år.

Kören
I år 2012 sjöng ca 140 sångare i huvudkören (A-kören). Efter målbrottet övergår pojkarna från diskantkören till manskören. Diskantkören övar tre gånger i veckan medan manskören övar två gånger. Cantores Minores har i genomsnitt 60 konserter per år varav tre är stora körverk med orkester.

Repertoar
Till Cantores Minores regelbundna repertoar hör bland annat Johann Sebastian Bachs körverk (Johannespassionen och Matteuspassionen, Juloratoriet, mässa h-moll och motetterna). Bland andra viktiga stora kyrkoverk kan omnämnas Brahms Ein deutsches Requiem, Mozarts Requiem och mässa c-moll och Mendelssohns Elias och Paulus. Körens a cappella–repertoar är ett tvärsnitt av den klassiska körlitteraturen. Finländsk körmusik är väl representerad av bland andra Einojuhani Rautavaara, Jukka Linkola, Joonas Kokkonen och Leevi Madetoja. Vid julen sjunger kören traditionella julvisor vid ett tiotal konserter.

Turnéer
Cantores Minores har gjort 56 utlandsturnéer, huvudsakligen till europeiska länder och Nordamerika.  På dessa turnéer har kören uppträtt i kyrkor och konsertsalar, till exempel Westminster Abbey i London, Notre-Dame i Paris, Shinshoji-templet i Narita i Japan, Stephansdomen i Wien och Peterskyrkan i Vatikanstaten. År 1982 hade Cantores Minores äran att sjunga för påven Johannes Paulus II och 2012 för Benedictus XVI.

during 2-day event designed to bring people together — through music.
Jefferson Street United Merchants Partnership (J.U.M.P), welcomed more than 4,000 people to the 17th annual Jefferson Street Jazz & Blues Festival (JJBF) weekend. The fun kicked off with the "Bridging the Gap: New Face, New Place" Mixer and Block Party in downtown Nashville on 5th Avenue South on Friday, June 16. Festivities continued on Saturday, June 17 with the main event hosted at the Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park, featuring some of Nashville's favorite local artists as well as national recording artists Shirley Murdock and Rose Royce.
A venue change for this year's 15th annual "Bridging the Gap Mixer: New Face, New Place" created a SoBro Block Party atmosphere that included performances from local favorites—William Davenport and Wendell "Bizz" Bigsby-Church & Everyday People—as well as two djs, live music, and a variety of food and retail vendors. Nearly 1,500 people danced in the streets, many of them new faces spilling out from the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Omni Hotel, all excited to join the party that gave them an alternative to country music-themed events usually hosted in the area. Also new to the Friday event was the inaugural JJBF Hot Chicken Contest, judged by the honorable Howard Gentry and acclaimed chef Darryl Dinning, who named Erica's Touch of Taste Food Truck as the contest's winner.
Saturday's main event at Bicentennial Mall kicked off with a high energy performance from Rahsaan Barber and included Bayou & the Degradables, Herschel Bailey and Paula Chavis.

Duluth (GA) Police Officer Heather McNaughton recently came to the aid of a woman and child in need… of a ride to the veterinarian's office to pick up their kitten. According to a Facebook post by the Duluth PD, Officer McNaughton came upon a woman whose vehicle had broken down and had begun blocking rush hour traffic.
"Officer McNaughton was able to get the vehicle off the road to help the flow of traffic," the Facebook post read.
"Afterwards, it was obvious that the woman (with a child) was not having the best day. The woman was trying to pick up this kitten from the vet before late fees were assessed, so Officer McNaughton gave the family a courtesy ride to the vet," the department said.
The woman was able to get the kitten in time, but was then confronted with a new problem — she and her child (and their fuzzy little companion) had no way to get from the vet to their home.
Consequently, Officer McNaughton drove the trio home.

Q: Handle new storage API in my App I let the user import different media files from the device storage.
So far I used an intent with the action Intent.ACTION_GET_CONTENT.
In KitKat Google introduced the new storage access framework and the new file picker. The known and already discussed problem is that this new picker delivers an URI in a different format than the old one. One possible solution is described here . However this solution is not really what I'm looking for:
1) With Intent.ACTION_OPEN_DOCUMENT users can only use the new file picker and can't chose to open a file through a third party app/picker
2) How can I get the 'type' of the file in the delivered uri when using the OPEN_DOC action? (used to work with data.getType())
3) If I use the 'old' get_content action, the user can chose between using the new picker or open an app (this is what I want), but it is necessary to recognize the difference in onActivityResult() since, the Uri delivered by third party apps still have the 'old' format... (how can I do this?)
Is there some approach that actually works? Did Google give any suggestions on how to handle this?
I've already found a couple of apps where picking files doesn't work anymore, if the new picker is used...They simply should have left the old action as it was and show the new picker only if it was called explicitly...
Thanks,
J

A: You can use my library aFileChooser which I just updated to support the Storage Access Framework. Be sure to check out the FileUtils.getPath(Context, Uri) method. It's pretty verbose, but it works:

Women at 40, who plan a baby, are at a higher risk of delivering preterm birth.
Preterm birth risk spikes after a woman turns 40!
Women who plan for a baby at the age of 40 and above may increase the risk of delivering preterm births before the 37th week of pregnancy, a study showed. The researchers noted an association between preterm birth and mother's age and stated that the maternal age at pregnancy has been increasing worldwide and so has the risk of preterm birth. The research team, led by Florent Fuchs from the CHU Sainte-Justine in Canada, analysed the data from 32 hospitals in Quebec, Canada, from the year 2008 to 2011. The findings of the study, published in the journal Plos, also mentioned that the mothers who are aged between 30-34 years have the lowest risk of prematurity.
The team studied over 165,282 pregnant women, who were further divided into five different age groups and compared them based on the maternal characteristics, gestational and obstetric complications, and risk factors related to preterm birth. Some of the known risk factors identified more commonly in older mothers, aged 40 and above, included placenta previa, gestational diabetes, medical history, use of assisted reproduction technologies and occurrence of an invasive procedure.
On the other hand, nulliparity - a condition whereby women never complete more than 20 weeks of pregnancy - was associated with factors such as drug use and smoking in the past, were more prevalent in younger mothers, especially 30 years and below. Previous studies have also found that preterm birth may increase heart risk and affect brain maturity of the babies.


As my students have all heard me say, if you can't sing high it's the registration. If you can't sing low it's the registration. Fast, slow, no endurance, not enough breath. Whatever it is that bothers you, it is the registration. The human voice has two registers, low (chest voice) and high (falsetto). Two and only two. There is no middle register. There is no ultra high register (called many things) There are only two because there are only two mechanisms within the throat to produce them, chest voice produced by the airway protection system (arytenoid group – if you want the Latin) which closes the cords, and falsetto produced by the swallowing system (thyroid group) which opens the cords and stretches them for pitch. Head voice is a combination of two muscular actions which, when invoked, draw the cords together "just so" through the opposition of their competing actions. If you want to know more, ask. I can talk all day (as my very, very patient students know) about the voice.
called "Chest Voice," we feel vibration in the chest, hence, Chest Voice. Voila! They determined the range of this register by working with voices and decided that the Chest Voice went from "Middle E" (sorta) downward, as low as the individual singer could take it. They named the register we call "falsetto" because it had a weird, hooty sound that did not appear to resemble a full singing tone. It became "the little false thing," to translate the Italian word into English. Its range seemed to be from High C – or perhaps a little above – down to a few notes below Middle C. They developed these two sounds and taught singers to use them together, with the strength of the Chest Voice and the softness of the Falsetto, creating a third sound they called Head Voice, and observed that Head Voice caused a vibration in the front of the face, hence its name.
Our brains direct the vocal mechanism in response to our concept of our sound, our personal idea of what our voices sound like, an idea we got when we learned to talk. Ever listen to yourself talk on a recording? "Oh, dear." is my reaction to my speaking voice. So, if we are going to improve our singing, our task is to change our concept. This is no mean feat. It is a process that takes time and focus, persuading our brains to direct a different sort of sound making than they have done before.
a different concept. This means setting up a condition where students can hear themselves make sounds that are not what they are used to making. Then this new and, it is to be hoped, improved sound will become the norm for the brain which will continue to direct the vocal mechanism toward this new sound. That is the process of learning to sing. This is what voice teachers do, or at least should do. Sometimes they do not. Sometimes they try to simply take the existing sound and build on it. But if the sound is faulty to start with, then there is nothing to build on. The faulty sound has to go and be replaced by a better sound.
The starting point is listening.
We must conceive the sound, and its elements, pitch, vowel, and dynamic.
Then we take a breath and see what happens.
And, by so doing, we learn.
We sing, and then we analyze what we heard.
Little by little we discover a new sound.
As we hear difference, it comes into our experience.
Our listening becomes more acute.
Hear the volume, the intensity level.
Now, breathe and let the music come into existence.
The life of the arts, far from being an interruption, a distraction in the life of the nation, is very close to the center of a nation's purpose – and it is the test of the quality of a nation's civilization.

Accession Jitters
As Prime Minister Saxe-Coburg heads for Brussels and the European Council summit this week, he leaves behind a wave of jitters in Sofia over the country's EU accession path. These were evident at the recent Real Estate and Investment Forum (RINFOR) held in the Bulgarian capital, at which the French and Dutch "no" votes and the Union's budget problems left many pondering a more uncertain future.
Following the two "no" votes on the proposed EU constitution, Bulgarian leaders moved fast to try and head off any resulting pessimism over their country's 2007 accession date. However, this was not helped by some poor timing by the European Commission, which sent warning letters about shortcomings in meeting accession commitments to both Romania and Bulgaria shortly after the referendums.
Yet Foreign Minister Solomon Passi and European Affairs Minister Meglena Kuneva said that the warning letter was a standard procedure.
"The early warning letters we expect to receive from enlargement commissioner Olli Rehn should not be over-dramatised," Passi told reporters. "We have long known about them and have worked well with the Commission. These letters come as no surprise to me."
Nonetheless, the fact that enlargement was such a bone of contention in both the French and Dutch referendum campaigns, with Romania and Bulgaria's future membership also questioned by senior German and Austrian politicians, has undoubtedly created an atmosphere of uncertainty.
At the RINFOR, the tone was further depressed by a report on a UK property web site, Assets Property News, that Bulgaria should still be classed a risky country - and if its EU accession was postponed, the Bulgarian real estate market would empty in a matter of hours.
This overly pessimistic view was not shared by all, however. At the forum, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), for example, announced plans for a further expansion of its investment programmes across country.
EBRD money is a major factor behind plans by local supermarket chain Piccadilly to invest 20m euros over the next two years in 10 or more new outlets, company director Stefan Kossev announced at RINFOR. Funding for this includes a 14.2m-euro loan syndicated by the EBRD and Raiffeisen Bank.
Meanwhile, another locally based outfit, Orchid Developments, is also being helped out by the EBRD, with a 30m-euro loan aimed at boosting the country's investments in the Bulgarian property market. Financing will enjoy the support of the UK's Shore Capital Group, which holds a 2.5% stake in Orchid, as UK interest in the Bulgarian market remains strong.
Yet it is by no means only foreign capital that is behind the Bulgarian real estate boom, as a survey by Creditex credit management agency released mid-June showed. Bulgarian companies have invested more than Lv5bn ($3.09bn) of their own funds in real estate during the last two-and-a-half years, according to the report, with much of this going into high-end property - now, unfortunately, showing low return-on-investment rates.
These low returns have squeezed operating funds and worsened competitiveness, according to Creditex. The owners of these companies prefer to re-finance via mortgage loans, boosting demand for these, but also boosting the volume of due credit payments. According to Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) data, the volume of due credit payments of non-financial institutions exceeded Lv10bn ($6.17bn) in April 2005. Some 60% of that consisted of credits with a maturity period of less than five years. Since these short-term credits are more expensive, many companies are now seeking ways to reschedule their debts into the long term.
Meanwhile, various other panels at RINFOR hit up against another problem faced by the sector - the shortage of downtown space in the capital.
French company Accor announced plans at the event to bring its Ibis hotel chain to Sofia, yet also complained that these plans had been held up by the unavailability of downtown real estate, a scarcity which was threatening a project to build a 10m-euro ($6.17m), 200-bed hotel in the capital.
At the same time, there was also discussion of the current squeeze on office space availability. However, this is likely to be eased when current building and renovation on this score brings more space on stream.
"Total office stock in Bulgaria is over 350,000 sq metres," Stefan Danailov, head of the office building department of Forton International, told the Forum, adding that "240,000 of it built in the past three to five years." Danailov said that around 110,000 sq metres more office space was currently being built and would soon come on the market.
The office segment is also likely to expand outside Sofia as well, many Forum speakers suggested, with Plovdiv and Varna likely to see more investment in future as rents in the capital mushroom. Many companies are also expected to set up shop or relocate to the suburbs of the capital.
Meanwhile, many of the existing companies in Sofia are likely to try and upgrade their existing office space in the months and years to come, as they move away from premises often located in residential apartments - and often in their own homes. This will boost demand for class B office space, of which there is currently also a shortage.
At the same time, many see the current EU difficulties as unlikely to make a major difference - the process has come too far for a real turn around by either party, optimists argue. With so much investment riding on both Romania and Bulgaria acceding, it seems unlikely that a stop can occur, even if a delay may be possible.
"Warnings from the EU will continue to come until the end of 2006," Passi told reporters mid June. "I have repeated time and again the spheres which might attract criticism: justice and home affairs, agriculture, services and especially the environment, which is regulated by numerous directives."
The pressure to address any concerns in these areas is therefore increasing, with little time to spare for any post election wrangling after Bulgarians go to the polls on June 25. The new government will have some difficult times ahead, as it seeks to keep the EU onside and committed to its 2007 accession promise.

Sunshine Harvest Farm is a fourth-generation family farm in Webster, about 40 miles south of Minneapolis. Owner Mike Braucher, his son Brandon, his brother Patrick and the rest of the crew bring a variety of cuts of beef, bison, lamb, pork, chicken and eggs to the Mill City Farmers Market year-round.
The Braucher's beef and lamb are 100-percent grass fed and fed hay in the winter. Their pasture-raised chickens and hogs are fed non-GMO corn, peas, beans, alfalfa, kelp and minerals — when they're not eating grass and bugs!
Like all of Mill City's vendors, Sunshine Harvest Farm never uses antibiotics, hormones or chemicals on any of their animals, believing in sustainable farming and management-intensive grazing on pastures.
"We apply healthy farming and business practices so we can develop strong relationships with customers, family and friends who count on us for safe, clean, sustainable and nutritious food," Mike adds.
Even though the Super Bowl won't be in town this year, you can still bring a local flare to your party by picking up a few things at Mill City's indoor Winter Market on Saturday, Jan. 26. In addition to Minnesota-grown carrots, radishes, cheeses and salami for crudité platters, get the local ingredients you need for these wild rice meatballs.
The market will be open 10 a.m.–1 p.m. inside the Mill City Museum, 704 S. 2nd St. No admission required. Learn more at millcityfarmersmarket.org.
Note: Plan ahead for cooking the wild rice. Hand harvested wild rice will take about 15–20 minutes to cook. Commercial wild rice will take much longer.
You can use cooked quinoa in place of wild rice. Burgers can also be made with this recipe. Freezes well.
In a large saucepan, heat olive oil to cook meatballs. Cook a few at a time, being careful not to lift them up until they release from the pan. Set them aside, and finish with the rest.
When all meatballs are seared, place BBQ sauce in the same pan. No need to wipe out the pan. Cover and bring to a low simmer, then add the meatballs. This can also be done in a crockpot.
Cook gently for about 10 minutes.

Turning a Passion into a Career: An Interview with The Populist's Jonathan Power
By Chloe Eklund April 5, 2016
Leave a Comment on Turning a Passion into a Career: An Interview with The Populist's Jonathan Power
Many people search their whole lives to find their passion, especially one that doubles as a career. And the lucky ones who do find it, often fail to go after it for fear of failure. Jonathan Power, chef and owner of The Populist in Denver, CO makes going after your passion look easy and successful.
Power began his career in the restaurant industry when he was 15, finished college with a BA in Philosophy, and was accepted into law school shortly thereafter. Before he was supposed to begin law school, he decided he needed to take a step back and make sure he was ready to head in that direction. "In high school, chasing the bigger paycheck felt like a better bet than pursuing something I loved and was passionate about," recalls Power. "I tried my hand at a number of different fields but something always kept pulling me back to restaurant work. Power decided to return to the restaurant world and hasn't looked back since.
"After cooking at a few reputable places around Denver, and starting our own supper club, I felt the pull to step out and open a kitchen of my own," he says. Power partnered with Noah Price, co-owner of The Populist, to expand Crema Coffee House from an espresso bar into a full service cafe in 2010. After much success, they opened The Populist in November of 2012. "It's been a crazy ride since then, but I couldn't be prouder of what we've done here," says Power.
You describe dining as a communal act. Can you explain your philosophy for The Populist? Food brings people together. Be it a family dinner over the holidays or snacks while watching a football game, food is very often at the center of social interaction. I wanted to create a restaurant that embraced that; that fostered dialog between the servers and the guests, between different groups of the guests themselves, and between the kitchen and the dining room.
What are some of the challenges of creating a communal dining experience and how do you address those? We tend to ask a for a decent bit of trust from our guests. Much of our dining room is comprised of communal tables. Our menu lacks descriptions of the dishes, pulling diners into conversations with the staff about what each dish is. Our wine list intentionally doesn't feature many popular varietals so that we can steer people to try something slightly different than what they may have otherwise ordered. Our tasting menu changes each night and is never printed to allow the kitchen to express what it feels suits a particular day. It's not always for everyone, but we believe that guests who are prepared to embrace what The Populist is will have a unique and enjoyable experience.
What is your most popular menu option? The Bacon & Egg has been on our menu since the day we opened, and is one of my favorite dishes to have come out of this kitchen. It's a slow poached egg on a bed of bacon and onion jam, served with toast points topped with thinly sliced lardo Iberico. I love that it is at once playful and elevated, approachable and challenging. I like food that a guest can relate to, but steps just a bit beyond that and requires one to adjust their thinking. This dish is just bacon & egg, but in an unexpected context.
How do you continuously differentiate yourself from other restaurants in the Denver dining scene? Our commitment is to growing as a team and growing in the quality of our work each and every day. I believe that if we're really invested in those commitments, the quality of the experience at The Populist will speak for itself.
How do you measure your success? One night at a time, one guest at a time.

The Dream Cube: Art for Social Impact
The Dream Cube, a monolithic structure constructed of pillows piled 8-feet high, popped up in downtown Des Moines late last fall. The provocative piece sparked conversations about the potential of our youth—if they have a safe place to dream.
Sarah Welch
Writer for Mid-Iowa Health Foundation and HealthConnect Fellowship Mentor
What place does a soft, white pillow have against cold concrete?
Developed by artist Kub Stevens and youth who've experienced homelessness, the installation called on the community to see youth as humans with strengths and hope for the future. When the community invests in their comfort and safety and values them as people, they can add to the vibrancy and success of our region.
The jarring contrast of a soft white pillow on cold, grey concrete invited the viewer to see the issue and not turn away. It's the unique ability of art to spark dialogue on critical community issues that inspired Mid-Iowa Health Foundation to invest in the project alongside other funders.
As one youth expressed: "Believe me and listen to what I have to say."
"Pillows stand as a physical representation of what's needed in order to dream. You don't have dreams if you don't have a safe place to sleep. You can't dream of a better future if you don't have a safe today, a safe place to call your own right now." – Kub Stevens, artist
Youth Homelessness
The Dream Cube imagines a community where all young people have a safe home.
Yet, more than 700 youth ages 18-24 were served in Polk County's homeless system in 2019. Youth of color and those who are LGBTQ+ are disproportionately represented in this number. The pandemic has heightened the challenges youth are experiencing as many are isolated from places of support and are living in increasingly stressful family situations.
Racism, unstable housing, low wages, stigma around mental health, bias against LGBTQ+ individuals, abuse in homes, and lack of access to services and opportunities are all factors, often created by systems and policies, that can lead to homelessness.
Efforts to end youth homelessness in Greater Des Moines is at a tipping point. A nearly $2 million grant from HUD is supporting planning and implementation of strategies identified by more than 40 organizations and the Youth Action Council, a group comprised of youth who've experienced homelessness.
Using art, the youth were given a platform to be heard and to elevate the issue of homelessness in a unique way, challenging our community to listen.
"If our youth don't have a safe home to dream at night, we are failing them as a community. This project was about having our youth tell us what they need to thrive." – Suzanne Mineck, president and CEO, Mid-Iowa Health Foundation
Art for Action
Art has the unique ability to connect us to each other and our environments. It generates the creative friction needed to understand issues in new and differing ways.
The Dream Cube was not intended to expand knowledge on the issue of youth homelessness Rather, it heightened visibility of work underway and stirred emotions to inspire greater community engagement.
"Art enables us to see complex issues through new lenses, and with this project, we wanted to give our youth a platform to be heard. We hope this will be the first of many projects that align the power of art to accelerate progress toward our civic goals and to create social benefit in our region." – Sally Dix, executive director, BRAVO Greater Des Moines
Youth Perspectives
Michael Ghost
Reflecting on the Dream Cube, Michael Ghost emphasizes the importance of working together to solve our challenges.
His parents divorced when he was young and the turmoil at home caused him to become distracted in school and pick fights. Fearing being placed in the child welfare system and mental health institutions, he fled to homeless camps and found a community that worked together to survive. With the help of Iowa Homeless Youth Centers, he eventually secured an apartment with Anawim Housing where he works part time, in addition to serving on the Youth Action Council.
"If people start to realize there are people hurting inside your own community and we are simply human beings," he says, "we can make a better lifestyle and work out our differences."
Davossi Wisdom
An artist and father, Davossi Wisdom has been inspired by the Dream Cube project and the role he can play in the community. "I hopped on because I wanted to put inspiration into this project, because I've been through it," he says.
Wisdom was kicked out of his adoptive parents' home when he was 18 years old and spent some time on the streets, but mostly, he found houses where he could crash with the wrong crowd. When he found out he was going to be a father, he began to make changes that led to
"I don't want anyone to have to sleep on the streets alone or with guns under their pillows," Wisdom says. "That's not a life. If I can stop homelessness or have an impact on it, I'm good."
His hope is that the Dream Cube brought smiles to people's faces and inspired them to not judge those who live on the street.
In its 2019-21 strategic plan, BRAVO Greater Des Moines set out to amplify connections between arts and regional priorities. Thinking about what this would look like, Sally presented an idea to Suzanne about how art could accelerate action on addressing a children's health issue. The conversation led to a project that took shape in the following steps:
Identifying the Issue
Among many complex issues needing community attention, Sally and Suzanne identified the issue of youth homelessness because of the collaborative efforts underway to address it, but the lack of visibility of those efforts. The organizers believed that art could push this work to the tipping point needed for significant change to occur.
Group Creative Services was hired because of its unique role in facilitating art projects that advance civic discourse. Consultants Teva Dawson and Mat Greiner developed the request for proposals for artists and facilitated the process needed to bring the project to fruition.
Organizers sought additional funding to support the project. They also invited leaders who are coordinating efforts to address youth homelessness to provide input into the artist selection and the call to action and to support youth involved in the project's creation. Many representatives coalesced around a shared vision that came together quickly. The timeline from interviewing artists to project completion was three months.
Engaging Youth
At the center of this collaboration was the belief that youth needed to drive this project. The Youth Action Council helped interview potential artists and informed how the project developed at every stage. When the Dream Cube was publicly displayed, the youth presented the work to the community.
Selecting the Artists
Stevens' proposal won over several proposals developed by internationally acclaimed artists. Stevens is a recording poet, recording artist, and placemaker who focuses on the communal properties of art as tools to fight local social injustices, utilizing projects to bring people together and strengthen interdependent ties. Never homeless himself, Stevens witnessed the difficulties of living without home and security through the experience of loved ones and close relatives.
This was Stevens' first major public project working with several stakeholders. He had the initial idea of developing a structure out of pillows and then engaged the youth in deciding what form the pillow structure would take and the message it would represent.
"I appreciate how it came together to make the best environment for the project possible." – Kub Stevens
Taylor Carlson, an illustrator and professor living in Ames, helped illustrate the message the youth wanted to convey about the structure. Her work focuses on graphic novels and comic books with the goal of "wanting children to feel equipped to face the dragons in their lives, no matter what shape those dragons take, and no matter whose faces they wear."
Stevens began meeting with youth weekly to get feedback on concepts and to test what the structure would look like. They gathered outside of the Des Moines Public Library or at the Iowa Homeless Youth Centers downtown. Carlson led a session with the youth to translate what they had experienced to a message for the community and together they landed on three panels that represented comfort, safety, and dreams.
The concept developed into a tall cube built with pillows stacked onto steel poles and placed together. The planners chose three visible downtown locations to temporarily install the structure in late October. Estuary Motion produced a video teasing the project before it was installed and capturing the project afterward to increase reach. The artistic nature of the video invited viewers to experience what the project conveyed and to connect with the youth.
The Dream Cube
The 8-foot tall cube was installed for 12 hours at three different locations from October 29-31: Wellmark YMCA, DART Central Station, and Cowles Commons. Each day, the structure changed to reflect the environment and as pillows were given away to individuals on the street. By the last day, the cube looked more like a fort with a white flag sticking out from the top.
The youth decided what changes they wanted to make in each moment. "It shows what youth can do when they have the tools and resources," says Stevens.
Graphic illustrations and messages on the sides of the cube featured youth sleeping next to a dumpster, in a tent, and on a couch in a home. The words on the panels emphasized youth's needs to seek comfort, safety, and dreams.
A launch event brought media and a larger crowd involved in the project to the YMCA location. The youth presented the Dream Cube to those who stopped by and talked about what it meant.
"The art came to life when you heard youth tell their stories and show pride in their future," Mineck said.
Many people drove by and saw the sculpture. The most foot traffic was at the Wellmark YMCA and DART Central Station. More than 100 pillows were given away at DART.
Comments about the installation were mostly positive from individuals curious about the structure, but one person asked why pillows were being given away when homeless individuals were being discouraged from sleeping in the space. This created an opportunity for conversation.
"This was not as much a call to action as it was to impact how people felt and to start to shift perspectives," says Greiner, pointing out that the website and videos created to capture the project steered people toward more information. "This installation was about widening perspectives on the issue."
As stated by the youth on the Dream Cube: "We don't win or lose. We win and learn."
The planners of the project believe the real impact was building understanding, empathy, and community responsibility to support youth. The youth expressed a strong desire to not be judged for living on the streets and to be seen as humans.
"The call to action was to start to see folks as human beings and then decide what is it that I need to be doing differently to show my humanity to people and to think differently about what I say about people who are homeless. What are my stereotypes about those people?" – Andrea Dencklau, consultant and one of the project's planners
One comment on a post-project survey noted: "The pillows contrasted with the environment in the street were visually impactful and led to curiosity on the part of those who viewed the cube in-person or through social or traditional media."
Emails to partners, social media posts featuring video and photos, and media coverage of the project generated greater interest beyond those who visited in person:
The following media covered the project: Des Moines Register, Business Record, Channel 5 News.
Iowa Homeless Youth Centers noted that its Facebook posts had an organic reach of 3-4 times more than what the organization would see on a typical well-performing post.
Organizers noted an increase in conversations among their board members and networks.
The work built strong relationships with the managers of the downtown locations. DART and the YMCA promoted the project on their pages and the YMCA staff offered to host an installation inside their building in the future.
The biggest impact noted was the youth's ownership of the project and how it gave them an opportunity to express their experiences in an organic and authentic way.
"To end homelessness, we have to listen to people with lived experience and let their voices guide the way. This project successfully placed young people in the driver's seat (in partnership with Kub and the community) to express their advocacy through art. Youth were truly engaged in the process and really proud of the results." – Abbey Barrow, Youth Homeless Demonstration Program Coordinator, Polk County Continuum of Care
"This project was so great to see how the youth could utilize their skills and strengths in such a unique way. You could see the excitement and passion for the project throughout—even how they engaged and motivated others to get involved in the project!" – Elizabeth Patten, Youth Opportunity Center Program Manager, Iowa Homeless Youth Centers
The organizers met shortly after the installation to reflect on the experience. A few lessons from this project include:
A commitment to authentically collaborate with youth takes time and planning but leads to a more meaningful project than holding one focus group for input or looking at data. The organizers acknowledged the importance of Stevens' dedication to this process.
Carlson noted that she had to learn how to sit back and let the youth have more of a voice. "I don't think we would have created something as successful if we hadn't done that," she says.
The call to action for those who experienced the Dream Cube was difficult to make tangible. Discussion on the call to action led to an understanding that the goals for this kind of project are different than other efforts. This project became more about seeing homeless individuals as people with strengths to contribute and less about asking people to do something specifically. The PolkCares.org website was offered as a place to dive deeper into specific actions people could take.
Timeline for promotion
The project had to come together very quickly and evolve with the youth's participation, but some of the promotion was more limited as a result. The organizers recognized that bringing in the messaging and promotion plan earlier in the process could expand the reach.
Sometimes comfort is simply feather-soft
And hope is a smile.
But if you look away,
How will they dream?
The work to address youth homelessness continues as local partners implement the action plan and the Youth Action Council advocates for changes. BRAVO Greater Des Moines will continue to identify opportunities to use art to advance regional priorities.
As you experience this project, we hope you begin to ask questions, including where we invest our dollars and how can we ensure youth have the support and opportunities to contribute to our community.
Are you okay with people living on the street? Is this what we're about? What is our community response to that?

Marlins aim to continue dominance vs. Nationals
Miami Marlins outfielder Bryan De La Cruz is making his case for a roster spot in 2023.
De La Cruz figures to be in the lineup on Sunday as the Marlins (63-89) bid for a three-game sweep over the visiting Washington Nationals (52-99).
De La Cruz, who went 4-for-4 with a homer and two doubles in Miami's 4-1 win on Saturday, has been hot since being recalled from Triple-A on Sept. 6. He is batting .378 with eight extra-base hits (four homers, four doubles) and 14 RBIs.
"He has scorched some balls -- right center, dead center," Marlins manager Don Mattingly said. "This is not an easy park to hit. He's been swinging the bat really well since coming back. It seems like his thought process is middle of the field again."
De La Cruz also fell a triple short of the cycle on Saturday. And, on his second double of the night, he made a hard turn around second before deciding against going for what would've been the first cycle in Marlins history.
"I was looking for the triple," De La Cruz said in Spanish. "I wanted to go, but I settled for the double."
Miami doesn't want to settle for anything less than a sweep on Sunday.
The Marlins are 15-3 this season against Washington. That ties Miami's record for the most wins over one opponent in the same season. The last time it happened was in 2004, when the then-Florida Marlins beat the New York Mets on 15 occasions.
In order to get the franchise record on Sunday, the Marlins likely will need a strong effort from their starting pitcher, Edward Cabrera (6-3, 2.91 ERA).
Cabrera, a rookie right-hander, is 1-0 with a 2.92 ERA in two career starts against Washington.
"He has to throw strikes early," Mattingly said of Cabrera. "His last start (a three-run, three-walk performance in five innings vs. the Chicago Cubs), he didn't do that, and he had a little blister thing. We just want him to be consistent."
Washington will counter Cabrera with veteran right-hander Anibal Sanchez (2-6, 4.40).
This will be Sanchez's second straight start against the Marlins. Last Sunday, he recorded a quality start but lost the game despite allowing just two runs on four hits in six innings.
For his career, Sanchez is 4-3 with a 3.05 ERA in 11 appearances (10 starts) against the Marlins.
A 38-year-old veteran who started his career with the Marlins, Sanchez usually finishes strong. His career ERA in September is 3.58. His overall career ERA is 4.06.
Offensively, Nationals manager Dave Martinez wants to see patience out of his hitters.
In Saturday's 4-1 loss to the Marlins, the Nationals struck out 12 times.
"We're (normally) pretty good at putting balls in play," Martinez said. "We usually wait for a good pitch to hit. Chasing pitches will get you out."
First baseman Joey Meneses continues to lead the Nationals with a .324 batting average and a .930 OPS.
The Nationals also are powered by right fielder Lane Thomas, who leads the team in homers (17) and RBIs (52) among players still on the roster.

Biomolecule functionalisation of carbon nano-dots (CDs) greatly enhances their biocompatibility and applicability, however, little is known about their molecular structure. Using an arsenal of spectroscopic and analytical techniques, we provide new insights into the physical and electronic structure of uncoated and glycan-functionalised CDs. Our studies reveal that surface functionalisation does not always result in a homogenous corona surrounding the core, and the choice of carbohydrate significantly affects the electronic structure of the surface CD states. Further, the average surface coverage of an ensemble of CDs can be probed via transient absorption spectroscopy. These findings have implications for CDs targeted at interactions with biological systems or local sensors.
