Rhonda Smith: - Music has been taken out of what's called music now
Music to me is a savior. I'm not sure what I would have done without it – I was in ways a little lost. Music is math and discipline – it teaches you discipline, creativity and how to get along with others. Music is a healer, it is going on trips, it helps you become a better person.
To many music is taking a break – and taking a break is healthy. That music is cut from schools and society is awful.
The most quoted live moment (to date!) with Rhonda... and she is funky...
When I first started playing jazz in Montreal, Montreal was a jazz hub. My mother played jazz all the time; Ray Brown, Oscar Peterson, Ella….the list was long.
There were many excellent, older jazz players around. My brothers played jazz, and I had an environment around me where females were playing.
I don't know how it would be seen by most parents these days if their daughters wanted to be in clubs and play music at 15. Classical is looked on with another respect, but other styles of music, if the daughters want to play?
I love all styles of music. It's a mélange of the heart and of feeling, and I love floating between styles just like the greats have done, and like Prince did too.
I got my initial inspiration for bass from Pleasure, EWF's Verdine White and Sly & The Family Stone, to name a top three. They are also some of the acts that I would recommend for people who want to listen to great bass-work on record.

Being a musician is pure heaven, pure unadulterated fun. It's the best job in the world. I don't mind playing two notes - that can be fun. I only have two requirements when I'm playing. I need to hear myself and the sound has to be good.
Musicians are traveling doctors. We heal people. Music is a foundation to stand on in life.

Having worked with Prince for a decade I thought to myself that I could work with anybody after him. He had the highest standards.
His rehearsals were long and intense, first of all. It was at least eight hours a day.
If he didn't like something he certainly would tell you. Recording wasn't allowed. He famously didn't like bootlegs.
He didn't read music. He would show you the part, and he would show you quickly. You had to get it. He showed you what he wanted quickly and then he was on to the next thing. He did have patience – he was extremely intelligent. But when he needed what he had showed you, the next day, he didn't like it if you messed up. You couldn't ask him 'Where's your notes?'. But the second day people did mess up. You had to be strict and get it down the first time.
There was some fun around but the process was intense. He would leave for a few hours and the band would rehearse by itself. He had other things to do, a lot to do. Sometimes he listened from elsewhere.
He was such a prolific writer with a large amount of music. You had to learn it all and retain it. Everything from the roots.
Rhonda Smith with Prince - "The Everlasting Now"
I'm currently in the studio working on my 3d record. I have my band project, CIC – which stands for Canada India Canada as well as for Chronic Idiopathic Constipation…as us musicians can be a bit full of ourselves… I also do shows with Sheila E and Jeff Beck in between. My record is ready when I say that it is. It's love in motion. I will probably debut some of the material with the group.
We have such a changed industry with manufacturing and downloads. Artists don't even make CD:s anymore, and not full albums anymore. Figuring out how to deal with all that is part of releasing something now.
What is going on with the music business is like a version of the industrial revolution. Radio has all the control. We have had a lot of rap music, but it's often so negative. I'm not downing any music though.
The general standard for what 'music' is right now, is sad. People who aren't musicians are called musicians, and the kids don't know the difference. Music has been taken out of what is called music now.
I don't believe that people want to see AI play music – maybe in Japan.
The royalty streams have dried up thanks to things like Tidal. Artists' work is played as much as anyone likes – for pennies.
The only way to go, to go forward in all this is live music. We need to play live and kids need to see people play live.
Rhonda Smith - "To Get With You" from the album RS2 (2006/215 Records)
RHONDA SMITH is a bassist+ based in the US, after being born and raised in Canada. She started out working on the Montreal jazz scene and studying music at McGill University. SMITH has released two solo albums to date and famoulsy worked with Prince for a decade. Her other collaborations include Jeff Beck, Sheila E and Chaka Khan. RHONDA SMITH also now runs her band project CIC.

Remembering Prince
Musicians' Corner remembers Prince
Classic Prince interview:
A conversation with Kim Berry, Prince' hair stylist:
NPG members who have spoken here on Musicians' Corner so far:

Kat Dyson: - I will play guitar until I leave this world
Musicians' Corner's interview with Kat Dyson
An article with Kat Dyson
Music is therapy. Music is meditation. Music is an exercise in discipline.
But most of all music is freedom.
Music has the same color as the air. You can close your eyes but you can't close your ears.
If you play it well,that's the only thing that matters.
Kat Dyson performing at the She Rocks Awards in 2017
Being a young Southern girl I of course had to learn to play the piano. The boys got guitars and drums and it seemed much more fun. They were out on the porch playing,having a ball. I wanted one! My mother got me a guitar, and not long after she passed away from an aneurism...And I will play guitar until I leave this world.
We didn't have a piano in our home. I grew up in a small rural neighborhood with a great piano teacher, and I had to go to practice at the teacher's house. The boys were learning and listening to records and radio.The guitar just seemed far more accessible.
The first time I played a gig and made money in a club is where I realized that I could have fun AND get paid. "I can do this and make money?" I got much more than my weekly allowance. I'm the oldest of seven siblings so I fell in love with the group dynamics of a band.After high school,I went to university and formally studied classical voice and guitar and music education.
The professional female musicians I've worked with share a similar feeling as I did growing up playing music-that they had to be twice as prepared,driven and focused to be taken serious in the music industry.I think we,as women, bring heart and soul and patience, and there isn't a big of competition between us. We are focused yet enjoy playing. Our hearts and ears are open and open for suggestions as well.
A lot of organizations will hire a woman for the optics. If she looks good the- wow-wow!! You have to look good in the industry, but you need to know how to play too, although some organizations may not care about their skill set.
Sharing an anecdote or two I was working with Colin James, who was a protege of Stevie Ray Vaughan He traveled to work for SRV saying "I'll be your tech for free,just teach me...At one point. I was backstage with Colin and an incredible group of artists at the end of a festival, and among them was B.B. King. He shook my hand and my hand disappeared in his gigantic hand. He let my touch Lucille. He seemed to have telephone wires on that guitar. You had to manhandle that thing. He was about make a speech at a college where he was to be honored, and he asked me 'What am I going to tell them'? perplexed by the invitation.He was so down to earth and so gentlemanly . I asked him "Don't you know who you are to us? He was talking to me like a daughter...supercool!
I was introduced to Bernie Worrell by Felicia Collins. The recording session with him was like a big party, but he was cool and serious ..and so focused, with a spirit so free. He said "Do what you feel – just make it funky!
I am selective about answering Prince questions.Usually I can sense if they come from a good place or not.
When I first met him,he asked me who I listen to. I told him that I listened to Jeff Lee Johnson and John Scofield ,for example at the time, and to Wes Montgomery as a constant go-to,melodically.
The Emancipation album was finished by then, but after we had worked together for a while he let me record a guitar part on The Love We Make, and he didn't change a thing about it. He trusted my voice ...
What he did on stage depended on his musical vision for each tour and changed constantly. He rotated instruments,as he mastered many. Every band had a different make up and purpose.
At one point he asked me what I thought he should add to the set we were working on.i suggested adding an unplugged section;just sit with a guitar and do a few songs...He laughed and responded that that would be so boring, but a while later..he finally did it, and people loved it, and he wound up doing a lot of it.
He was influenced as an artist at a time when iconic artists entertained and big productions dominated live concerts. Over the years I think he started to get the message that people simply wanted to hear his music,any way he wanted to present it...in a grand way or in an intimate setting...

Liv Warfield sums up the journey to Roadcase Royale
Musicians' Corner meets Liv Warfield
An article with Liv Warfield
Music is feeling. It is another realm of life on this earth. Music is faith and the healing of generations.
And – music is power!
I was running tracks through my adolescence and was going to be in the Olympics. I took part in the trials, and was very promising. What I brought from the athletics, to my journey in music, is stamina and the energy to move around. And I learnt to not give up from sports.
I always listened to music while training – all kinds of music was playing. I knew that I wanted to be a singer.
I moved to Portland all by myself, unafraid to be vulnerable by the time of my first album release, Embrace Me (2006). The record was about life lessons and my first experience at releasing my own music.
By the time of the release of my album The Unexpected (2014) Prince had taught me so much about myself. He instilled confidence in me. He was my supernova, and he pushed me beyond my limits. From the very first rehearsal I had with him, when he told me that he could easily replace me, to push me, to all the talks we had on the phone, he expanded my mind.
Our new album, First Things First (2017), is a fresh awakening. We (Roadcase Royale) wrote the album in such a short space of time, and it was such a great collaboration between amazing writers. I want to be in the studio all the time now! Nancy Wilson is a true earth angel, open to all sounds, and she is pushing me as a writer.
Liv Warfield is a successful singer and songwriter, and a Peoria native. She is based in Chicago and Portland. After moving to Portland as a teenager, to pursue her ambitions in sports, Warfield among other things honed her amazing singing skills, singing in karaoke bars through the nights, before she conquered her shyness and released her debut album. It caught Prince' attention, and the music legend made Liv Warfield a member of The New Power Generation. In 2017 Liv Warfield has released First Things First, the debut album from the new supergroup Roadcase Royale, which she fronts with Nancy Wilson.

Philip Lassiter looks back on working with Prince as he releases his solo album
An article with Philip Lassiter
For over 15 years I have been cultivating my own sound using stacked trumpets. I first heard this sound when D'Angelo released "Voodoo" with Roy Hargrove laying down trumpet overdubs. I was already a huge Hargrove fan and had just got my first digital recording studio so I was off to the races. It wasn't long before I started getting asked to lay down my own stacks on other artist's albums. Over the years I have had the opportunity to play on hundreds of projects, making the "trumpet stack" thing something I'm fairly known for but it took me THIS long to record a trumpet album of my own! I thought to myself, it's about time! So, I reached out to some of my favorite producers and asked for them to submit tracks that they had laying around. James Poyser did 2 tracks on the album and they are so funky! I had a lot of help from my good pal Rodney Lil Rod Jones with production and mixing on this album. It may not have been possible without his generosity and expertise. This project is so unique because of the mixture of true hiphop grooves with super harmonic trumpet soundscapes. I couldn't be more proud of a record and I'd love to do another one at some point.
Before I first chose the trumpet I tried lots of instruments. Sax, drums, even oboe but I gravitated to the baritone first. I got a nice sound on it right from the bat. I was a small kid so lugging that heavy instrument around was quite a pain so, after trying my friend's trumpet, I was hooked.
Prince was someone I always drew inspiration from. I was always heavily into funk music. I was way into Sexy MF, Kiss, Musicology and those types of Prince songs. I always used to say that if I went on the road again it would be with someone like Prince. I was playing on gospel record after gospel record, just basically making a living. I lived in Brooklyn at the time I got the call from another gospel musician who had just linked up with Prince. He referred me directly to him and the audition process began. The whole thing was very surreal and it all happened because of the work that I had done year after year playing on records. Eventually my work spread all the way to the purple lord of funk himself!
Working with Prince was magical. He was the hardest working person I've ever known. I'll never forget the day we met. I flew first class for the first time ever. I arrived at Paisley Park and he greeted me at the door and immediately complimented my work. I then followed him down a dark hallway into the foryer of the complex. Murals and awards were everywhere. The ceiling was painted like the sky and there was a piano shaped like a spaceship! I was totally tripping out. He then led me to a conference room where he told me what he that he wanted to build a HUGE horn section. He said, "my father used to tell me about great big horn sections in soul bands..like 10 horns". "At this point in my career I do not feel like there's anything that I NEED to say....so if I'm going to say something it's got to be something that I'M interested in...and to honest, I just want to HEAR it." I replied, "right on". :)
We then went on to have an 11 piece horn section with 4 trumpets, 1 alto, 2 tenor saxes, 2 bones and 2 bari saxes! It was such an epic sound. At times it reminded me of Quincy Jones's horn section in The Whiz. Prince enjoyed us so much. He was very proud of us and loved to show us off. He would often say, "we are going to make history". I never heard anyone say that out loud. lol
Then we turned around and did JUST THAT.
We played the United Center in Chicago and SXXW in Austin. We gave an epic performance on the Arsenio Hall show in which my favorite horn arranger, Jerry Hey wrote and complimented me on my arrangement after the performance. We did 3 nights at the famous Montreaux Jazz Festival which was video recorded and said one of his finest performances. We also performed for almost 4 hours in a heat watch on Curacao, an island close to South America where I met my wife.
The experiences I had with Prince will forever be some of the richest moments in my life. I will always remember him as someone who believed in me and encouraged me to think outside of the box and keep the music moving forward.
My wife and I just moved to LA so we are very excited about what's around the corner. I recently wrote and arranged horns and strings on the latest Kirk Franklin and CeCe Winans records. Kirk just won a Grammy for best gospel album. I also did horns for Jose James and Kandace Springs, 2 up and coming soul/jazz singers on Blue Note records. Right now I simply plan to be as visible as I can and let people on the west coast know that I'm around and ready to work!
There are so many I would like to collaborate with. I have my eyes and ears set on the stirring and resurgence of soul music. I am really digging where artists like Bruno Mars, Justin Timberlake, Robin Thicke, Adele, Ceelo and many others are headed. I would love to team up with producers like Will.I.Am, Mark Ronson and Pharell. The sky is the limit and I believe anything is possible.

EPAM, the software giant that strode out of Belarus
CEO and president of EPAM, Arkadiy Dobkin. / EPAM
By Ben Aris in Moscow May 18, 2016
Arkadiy Dobkin is arguably the most successful businessman ever to emerge from post-communist Belarus. At the age of 25 he founded EPAM Systems in the Belarusian capital of Minsk in 1993, which has since grown into a global software engineering giant listed on the New York Stock Exchange and named by Forbes magazine as one of the world's top ten fastest growing technology companies in 2015. But the company's brains are still centred in Belarus where the majority of its engineers are located. Dobkin tells bne IntelliNews in an exclusive interview that with the global tech revolution still in its early stages, his business is only just getting going.
"We are just at the beginning of the transformation and it will never stop, as it is developing so fast," the CEO and president says by telephone from his headquarters in Newtown, Pennsylvania. "As one transformation wave finishes, then that will push change. As increasingly there are smart machines everywhere, I anticipate if anything this process will accelerate."
The company is thought of as an American company following its listing on the NYSE four years ago, but like many companies in Emerging Europe, while its shares are traded in the US, the bulk of its production remains in Minsk, although it is now rapidly globalising.
Dobkin was quick to get into software development at the start of the 1990s and was an unusually successful entrepreneur in a country better known as "the last dictatorship in Europe", as former US secretary of state Condoleezza Rice famously dubbed Belarus in 2005. Today, Minsk is home to the largest part of EPAM's employees: 5,500 from a total of 17,000 workers.
Business grew so fast that Dobkin persuaded the Belarusian government to set up a high-tech institute in Minsk to train more local engineers and provide a base for the company. The park was such a success that the government recently launched a similar park together with the Chinese government and is toying with the idea of building a second technology park. From this launchpad EPAM has been spreading fast. "Today we have about 6,000 people in Minsk, but we also have developers in Ukraine, Bulgaria, Hungary, Czech Republic and more recently in China and India," Dobkin says.
The market has changed rapidly over the last two decades. The cost advantage that EPAM used to enjoy from operating in Minsk has long been eaten away as competitors set up production centres in other low-cost locations like India and Central Europe. Now, though, EPAM follows its large multinational clients round the world, meeting their demand for services as they open up new markets. "Last year we bought Alliance Global Services that has offices in the US and India to complete our 24/7 development network and to support our clients that were working there. Now our international network includes offices in Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia," says Dobkin.
EPAM's clientele is now deeply international and includes some of the most famous names in retail, banking and e-commerce. "The make-up of the client list has been pretty stable in the last year with the customers roughly split between the US and Europe. In the last quarter we saw a slight uptick in the number of US clients, but that was a function of our acquisition [of AGS]. But now the European business is growing faster," says Dobkin.
Steady as she grows
The world economy may be suffering a slowdown, but the tech sector has remained relatively sheltered from the worst of the troubles. EPAM reported solid financial results for the first quarter, with revenues growing by just under a third (32%) year on year to $268mn, and it has guided for $1.15bn of revenues for the whole of 2016, broadly in line with analysts' expectations.
The company benefits from a broad diversification in all the geographies in which it works and the spread of sectors it caters to. EPAM is on the front line in the "fintech" revolution, as financial services made up just over quarter (27%) of its revenue in the first quarter of this year. But the fastest growing areas are media, entertainment, life sciences and healthcare, where revenues grew by 43% over the same period, partly helped by the acquisition of AGS.
In terms of markets, the acquisition of AGS also shifted the focus towards North America so that in terms of currency structure, most of EPAM's revenues are now in dollars (64.1%), followed by British pounds (11.0%) and euros (8.5%). These hard currency earnings depressed costs, a quarter (26%) of which are denominated in dollars, but the devaluation of the Belarusian ruble cut costs for production in Minsk, which accounted for 18.3% of the total outgoings. Costs in Ukraine (15.5%) and Russia (7.7%) were also cut by devaluations in those countries too. All this contributed to a 28% increase in Ebitda of 28%.
The company's solid revenue growth has been reflected in its share price. Over the last year, the stock price has been relatively flat, oscillating between $71-$73 per share. But the stock has performed handsomely from its IPO price of $12 on February 10, 2012, with the market capitalisation increasing five-fold.
Constant revolution
Dobkin says that EPAM's market is getting crowded and the company is facing growing competition, but he also expects to stay out in front thanks to EPAM's superior engineering skills and focus on innovation. The big consultants, such as Deloitte and Accenture, are starting to get into the same business, but EPAM has opened up an enormous lead after more than two decades. "We do complex solutions better that include user design skills that are tailored to the customers' specific needs," says Dobkin. "There is a very high demand for quality development and we need to keep up with the cutting edge technology work, as we then reapply the same solutions to other customers businesses."
And EPAM doesn't really compete with the Silicon Valley firms. Most of those focus on the maintenance of existing sites or the development of new businesses; EPAM specialises in providing new sophisticated solutions for established firms, says Dobkin, whose clients need custom-made specialist systems that meet their specific business needs. "Silicon Valley has very special production companies, but when a retailer needs an e-commerce system they can't buy a package off the shelf," says Dobkin. "We can build new systems from scratch, as the customers need to differentiate themselves from their competition."
The AGS deal brought new "special consulting skills" and "new digital engagement technology" to the company, says Dobkin, and was done to support EPAM's ability to innovate rather than for the sake of more customers or revenue. "Everyone has been impacted by the internet revolution and all these companies need to build sophisticated software and compete online to protect themselves against their competition," says Dobkin. "EPAM remains amongst the global leaders in providing these services."
The sector is now in constant revolution, the CEO emphasises. As one retail company comes up with a new innovative concept, its competitors are quick to follow, forcing another round of innovation to start as soon as the first finishes. That will keep EPAM in business for years to come, says Dobkin, who points out that revenue growth from its customers outside the top ten biggest clients is growing much faster than from within the top ten. However, even earnings from the company's biggest client, Swiss bank UBS, was up by 14.4% and increased by 15.5% for the next four largest customers.

What do the draft recommendations say?
What are the pros and cons of home birth?
How has the guidance been received?
How do I get involved in the consultation?
"More women should give birth at home, advice suggests," reports The Guardian after draft guidelines produced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) recommended that women with a low risk of complications in childbirth should be encouraged to either give birth at home or at a midwife-led unit.
The guidance has been revised after new evidence has become available since its original publication in 2007.
As part of the new guidance, NICE proposes revising its recommendations on the most appropriate place for women to give birth if they are at a low risk of complications. It is this aspect of the recommendations that has received the most media attention.
These draft guidelines about the care of healthy women and their babies during childbirth are open to consultation.
The draft recommendations say that low-risk women (women without medical conditions or other factors that put them at increased risk) who have given birth before should be advised to plan to give birth at home or at a midwifery-led unit (freestanding or alongside).
"Alongside" midwifery-led units are based at hospital sites next to traditional obstetric labour wards, while "freestanding" midwifery-led units may not be at a hospital site.
Low-risk women who haven't given birth before should be advised to plan to give birth in a midwifery-led unit (freestanding or alongside). This is because the rate of interventions is lower and the outcome for the baby is no different compared with an obstetric unit.
NICE has published a number of tables listing factors that may increase the risk of complications during birth and require admission to an obstetric unit.
Your midwife should be able to provide more detailed advice about whether your pregnancy is low or high risk and why this is the case.
But the final decision about where to give birth is ultimately yours. You will never be forced to give birth at home or at a midwife unit if that is against your wishes.
For women having their second or subsequent baby, a planned home birth is as safe as having your baby in hospital or a midwife-led unit. However, for women having their first baby, home birth slightly increases the risk of a poor outcome for the baby (from 5 in 1,000 for a hospital birth to 9 in 1,000 – almost 1% – for a home birth). Poor outcomes included the death of the baby and problems that might affect the baby's quality of life.
The Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists said it supported the recommendations as long as issues around emergency back-up options and the assessment of pregnancy risk were resolved.
The Royal College of Midwives welcomed the change in guidance, but said more investment in midwifery is needed to implement these changes.
The National Childbirth Trust (NCT) also welcomed NICE's proposed changes.
However, the Birth Trauma Association has concerns over the research that was the basis for these recommendations, and fears that this guidance could put women at risk.
Consultation is open until June 24 2014. If you wish to take part, you will need to register as an individual stakeholder, or contact the registered stakeholder organisation that most closely represents your interests and pass your comments to them.


This post is in response to a question asked on Ask Ives.
Water consumption is definitely an extremely part of anyone's day, however, individual consumption volumes varies from person to person. A great resource on this subject can be found here, but for more summarized details, keep reading!
The benefits of water consumption are immense – water is the lubricant of our bodies! Water also does a great job flushing out toxins that may be present as well within our vital organs, brings nutrients to our cells and provides a moist environment for important tissues.
The intake on a daily basis for Men in a temperate climate is roughly ~3 liters (13 cups). Women is a little less, coming in at ~2.2 liters (9 cups).
We're sure you've all heard the 8 cups of water a day rule, which can be shown to be roughly correct when comparing to the values given above.
Is there a way to train yourself to lower your heart rate?
This post is in response to a question as asked on Yahoo! Answers.
Training your body and ultimately participating in physical exercise will over time lower your heart rate. Average Heart Rate information is available through the main Average Body website, and varies quite dramatically by gender as well as age.
This great resource offers a lot of good information on the subject, though tends to get quite technical. As such, we will attempt to do here at The Average Body what we do best - Summarize!
In a watered-down sense, physical activity excites a number of neural and chemical components within the Human Body. This excitement leads to an increased activity within some of your nerves, namely the nerves that are 80% responsible for the slowing of your Heart Rate. The increased exposure to exercise eventually serves to slow the resting and ambient Heart Rates.
Welcome to TheAverageBody.com's official Blog! We thought this would be the best way to reach you, the readers, regarding all the quirky (and not so quirky) things to do with the Human Body.

If a member can't let an argument go, the member may receive a 'cooling off' ban.
If your primary thought as you type a post is "I'll show him!", then you are probably starting an argument. If so, please stifle yourself.
When discussions twist into serious arguments, it is best not to reply and let the moderators handle it. Personal attacks, including those in forum posts, personal messages, or emails, are not welcome. In particular personal threats are serious and will earn the threat maker a ban. A third such ban will be permanent.
A troll is a person who posts inflammatory messages, to disrupt the discussion or to upset its participants. Simply put, trolling will not be tolerated.

A sound wave of frequency 100 Hz is travelling in air. The speed of sound in air is 350 m/s.
(a) By how much is the phase changed at a given point in 2.5 ms?
(b) What is the phase difference at a given instant between two points separated by a distance of 10.0
cm along the direction of propagation?
a) Here given n = 100, v = 350 m/s ⇒ λ = v/m = 350/100 = 3.5 In 2.5 ms, the distance travelled by the particle is given by ∆* = 350 * 2.5 * 10^-3 So, phase difference ∅ = 2π/λ * ∆* ⇒ 2π/(350/100) * 350 * 2.5 * 10^-3 = (π/2). b) In the second case, Given ∆η = 10 cm = 10^-1 m. So, ϕ = 2π/*∆* = 2π * 10^-1/(350/100) = 2π/35

PDP, AD, SDP form opposition forum against APC
The leadership of the Peoples Democratic Party and several other political parties have agreed to constitute a broad based political opposition, known as United Forum of Democrats.
The group disclosed this in a resolution signed by Prof. Jerry Gana on Thursday in Abuja after its Wednesday's meeting.
According to the resolution the forum is made up of of the leadership of PDP, People's Redemption Party (PRP), Social Democratic Party (PDP), Alliance for Democracy (AD), Accord Party, among other political parties.
It stated that the forum would be effective, responsible and fearless watchdog, by mutual agreement to broaden the base of the opposition in the country.
Gana, who was a former Information Minister had on Wednesday while submitting the report of PDP Strategy Review and Inter-party Affairs in Abuja said that PDP was already meeting with some leaders of political parties.
He disclosed that the initial contacts had yielded positive responses from seven people-focused and social democratic parties which would meet in Abuja.
"This has nothing to do with the rumoured Mega Party, but a separate and highly principled initiative of the PDP.
"Our desire is to have all genuine democrats and friends of the people to flow together and provide a fresh and trustworthy leadership to promote and ensure people-friendly process of national development,''Gana said.
According to the resolution, the forum would henceforth ensure that the electoral and security Umpires in the country act strictly within the dictates and ethics of their profession.
"We have resolved that we shall stand united and steadfastly work together in the interest of the vast majority of our people who are now suffering and traumatized," the statement said.
The forum also upheld the recommendations of the 2014 National Conference and was resolved to work earnestly for its full implementation.

Hypertension: salt substitutes are not so good for cardiovascular health
Sodium is hidden in a long list of prepared, fast and processed foods.
Photo: Photo of Artem Beliaikin in Pexels / Pexels
By now we all know about devastating effects of salt consumption, the most common form of sodium. It is one of the most used additives in the food industry, it is usually added to food during its manufacturing process, in homemade food and at the center of the table, with the aim of enhancing the flavor and prolonging the shelf life of food. In such a way that one of the main tips to improve cardiovascular health is to reduce salt intake. Finally, it is no secret to say that diets high in sodium increase the risk of high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease and heart attack, considered the main risk factors for stroke.
Based on the above, it is no secret to say that every day more people are interested in considerably reducing their salt intake, although avoiding ultra-processed foods and fast foods is one of the strongest measures. In recent months, much has been said about the benefits of integrating the use of salt substitutes into the daily diet and in fact there have been various studies that support it.
One of the most relevant was a study published at the beginning of September of this year, by the New England Journal of Medicine. In this research work it was confirmed that the simple act of changing table salt for salt substitutes can help reduce the risk of stroke in people over the age of 60 with a history of high blood pressure or previous stroke. The research included almost 21,000 participants and was carried out in 600 villages in rural areas of five provinces in China.
As an important background it is worth mentioning that 72% of the study participants had a history of stroke and 88% of high blood pressure. Participants received free salt substitutes with a formulation of approximately 75% sodium chloride and 25% potassium chloride, as a replacement for regular salt and they were recommended to use them for cooking, seasoning and preserving food. They were also encouraged to use the salt substitute more sparingly than before to maximize sodium reduction.
Sufficient salt substitute was provided to meet the needs of the entire household (about 20 grams per person per day). Participants from other villages continued with their usual cooking and eating habits. According to the statements of the lead author of the study, Dr. Bruce Neal who is Professor at the George Institute for Global Health in Sydney, Australia: "This study provides clear evidence for an intervention that could be undertaken very quickly at a very low cost. Now we have shown that it is effective and these are the benefits for China only. Substitution of salt could be used by billions more with even greater benefits. "
The study findings raised questions from experts around the world, one of the main questions that arose was whether This type of dynamic is applicable in the United States and other countries outside of China. As stated by Dr. Elizabeth Klodas, a Minneapolis-based cardiologist and founder of Step One Foods: "Although I wish I could say yes, it is more realistic to say that it is probably not feasible to replicate this scheme in other countries." Additionally, Klodas noted that since the study looked at high-risk populations, the findings may not translate to other populations (for example, people without high blood pressure and without a prior stroke). Another aspect that we cannot fail to point out is that It was a study focused on a unique cultural group, with specific dietary habits and patterns. Therefore, it may not be translated to other populations.
Complementary to this, it is necessary to mention that the greatest barrier to reducing sodium intake in the United States is that much of the salt intake is sadly not under the control of the majority of the population. In rural China, most meals are cooked from scratch, so sodium intake is under the control of the food preparer. Nevertheless, Americans eat far more processed and prepared foods, and many of these products add a lot of sodium even without touching the salt shaker.
Also, it goes without saying that sodium lurks almost anywhere. For example: a simple bagel, can provide 450 milligrams of sodium, even before adding any ingredient and that are normally rich in salt such as smoked salmon, cheeses, sausages and sauces. Taking into account that the maximum recommended sodium intake is 2,300 milligrams per dayStarting the day with a simple piece of bagel is about 20% of a full day's sodium allowance. In such a way that sodium substitutes are not of great help in these cases and in general in everyday life, especially taking into account the lifestyle of modern society.
Returning to the study, there is another really worrying point: the initial salt intake was very high, it was supposed to be up to 20 grams of salt per person per day; so the observed effect may not translate to those who consume less salt to begin with.
Among the main conclusions that several experts agree on, we can say that in theory a salt substitute could improve cardiovascular risk, especially talking about its benefits for greater control of high blood pressure. However, everything has a price: potassium chloride as a substitute is a problem, as we age, our kidney function naturally slows down. It is worth mentioning that kidney function is a concept that is measured by the glomerular filtration rate or GFR, the kidneys are the body's filtration system and therefore the natural aging process will slow down the GFR. The problem? Integrating potassium directly into food as a condiment will adversely affect the kidneys, the same as salt.
The most sustainable long-term solution is to bet on follow a natural diet based on the consumption of fresh and seasonal foods. The most important thing is to take on the task of preparing food at home. While it is clear that fast, frozen and ultra-processed foods should be avoided at all costs, it is just as important to stop using processed foods to cook at home. And by this we mean sauces, condiments, dressings, canned goods, bread, cookies, and a long list of products that we tend to think of are sodium-free. Remember to always read the labels and bet on the use of reduced sodium products.

One out of five people has symptoms related to irritable bowel syndrome. That's really a lot of people with gut irritation.
Long term relief has been shown with peppermint oil supplements.
Enteric-coated peppermint oil capsules taken daily for one month helped nearly 80 percent of the subjects reported relief from severe abdominal pain, abdominal distension, and reduction of gas.
For centuries, healers have used peppermint oil to curb nausea, gas, and other digestive problems. Modern research shows that it kills bacteria and relaxes muscles in the digestive tract.
Peppermint oil may cause heartburn in some patients, but that's usually not a problem with coated capsules.
Intesol from Metagenics provides comforting relief of GI disturbances. I recommend one softgel three times daily before meals.
What Symptoms Made You Think I Was Sensitive To Gluten?
Gluten is a toxin to some people, and they feel better after a few months of going gluten free. If you are sensitive, gluten can raise your TPO antibodies (causing Hashimotos thyroid disease). Gluten is basically a food additive, and most people associate gluten with Celiac disease (an autoimmune condition) and with IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) or Crohn's, colitis and other digestive disorders.
Depression. Brain fog – it can cause cerebral hypoperfusion (lowered blood flow to the brain). Confusion. Lethargy. Mood problems. Some people that think they have neuropathies related to multiple sclerosis or Parkinsons, or ALS, and all these may actually be gluten intolerance. Weight gain. Gas. Bloating. Lack of energy. Headaches.
Infertility – more common in women with gluten intolerance.
Most people don't know they have Celiac Disease or gluten intolerance. Most practitioners overlook this disorder that causes damage to the small intestine when gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, is eaten.
On top of infertility, other gynecological and obstetrical problems may also be more common, including miscarriages and preterm births. For men, problems can include abnormal sperm — such as lower sperm numbers, altered shape, and reduced function. Men with untreated celiac disease may also have lower testosterone levels.
The good news is that with proper treatment with a gluten-free diet and correction of nutritional deficiencies, the prognosis for future pregnancies is much improved.
Trouble digesting gluten, a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley is actually pretty common. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) estimates that as many as one in every 133 Americans have Celiac Disease. Probably many more people have gluten intolerance.
If you have celiac disease, eating gluten triggers an autoimmune response, provoking your body to attack itself and destroy healthy tissues, especially the villi in your small intestine. This can also have a detrimental effect on your body's ability to absorb and process nutrients.
Even a small amount of gluten can trigger a response.
In the New York Times article above, Dr. Sheila Crowe, a professor in the division of gastroenterology and hepatology at the University of Virginia, provides information about a slightly lesser known side effect of celiac disease, namely infertility, which can affect both men and women with the disease.
Studies from various countries indicate that fertility problems are indeed more common in women with untreated celiac disease, compared to women who do not have it.
These menstrual abnormalities, along with other hormonal disruptions they cause, can lead to fewer ovulations, which in turn results in a reduced chance of pregnancy.
There are reliable blood tests that can screen for the disease. Your doctor will need to test your blood for high levels of anti-tissue transglutaminase antibodies (tTGA) or anti-endomysium antibodies (EMA).
Please keep in mind that you need to continue eating a diet containing gluten, such as breads and pastas, in order to obtain an accurate test result! If you go on a gluten-free diet prior to being tested, the results may come up negative for celiac even though you might in fact have the disease.
Most people simply consume far too much bread, cereal, pasta, corn (a grain, not a vegetable), rice, potatoes, snacks and junk foods, with grave consequences to their health.
A diet high in grains causes insulin resistance which causes far more problems than this dangerous autoimmune response.
In my experience, gluten intolerance can be treated by eliminating gluten and most grains from your daily diet.
It's important to realize that gluten can be hidden in many foods including soups, soy sauce, candies, cold cuts, and various low- and no-fat products, so check the labels before you eat it.
Also watch out for malt, starches, hydrolyzed vegetable protein (HVP), texturized vegetable protein (TVP) and natural flavoring.
Some pharmaceuticals, vinegars and alcohol can also contain gluten.
If you have celiac disease, it's imperative that you do not eat gluten in order to avoid further damage to your health.
Remember, if you stick to a diet consisting mainly of whole foods, preferably locally-grown organics, you'll reap all the other beneficial side effects as well, such as increased energy, an enhanced mood, and a lower risk of other chronic illnesses.
Try a gluten-free diet for 6 weeks, you'll probably feel much better.

Most of my patients know the positive effects on digestion from using probiotic supplements. Most people need to take probiotic supplements after using antibiotics. This will ensure that the good intestinal flora bacteria killed by the antibiotic use gets replenished.
Even many MD's are recommending probiotics during and after antibiotic therapy. I use probiotics to help build the immune system, and induce an "immunosurveillance" if you will. Probiotics are also helpful to address abdominal discomfort, bloating and cramping. Allergies that affect the skin such as eczema, are helped by strains of probiotics. All probiotics are not created equal. I can only recommend UltraFlora Plus DF (dairy free) by Metagenics or Probio Defense by Xymogen as two of the best and most reliable.

Several Persian poets composed versified versions of the story (see, e.g., Monzawi, IV, pp. 3331-46), the earliest being the one, now lost, by the 10th-century poet Abu'l-Moʾayyad Balḵi (Ṣafā, I, pp. 369, 402). The most famous among them, however, is Yusof o Zolayḵā by Nur-al-Din ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi (q.v.), which forms the fifth versified narrative of his Haft owrang (Ṣafā, IV, pp. 359-60; Browne, III, pp. 531-33; Arberry, pp. 442-47). The general prominence accorded the arts of the book decoration in the post-Mongolian period are also evident in the figurative depictions that occur overwhelmingly as miniatures illustrating works that feature, or are wholly about, Joseph (Blair and Bloom, pp. 24-25). Book illustrations that represent Joseph or depict an episode in one of the many tales about him have been among the more popular subjects in the history of Islamic painting in general. Figurative depiction of prophets or biblical personalities, and thus iconographic prototypes, date back to the earliest period in Persian painting, but it was above all the far-reaching influence of Islamic mysticism in Persian literature that raised the popularity of Joseph as a subject in manuscript illustrations (Davis, p. 279; Milstein, pp. 8, 15). The story of Joseph has been used as a motif in Sufi discourse al least since the 11th century, when Abu'l-Ḥasan ʿAli Hojviri (d. ca. 465/1071-72) made exemplary references to it to illustrate certain Sufi concepts (Hojviri, pp. 37, 263, 331, 401, 434-35, 477). Joseph, his beauty, his father Jacob (Yaʿqub), the conspiracy of his brothers, his sale as a slave, the ordeal of Zolayḵā's love, his reunion with Jacob, as well as other episodes far exceeding the basic narrative in Chapter 12 of the Qurʾān have been repeatedly used as literary tropes in both lyric and narrative poetry in order to explicate the trials involved in establishing a direct, individual experience of the Divine (Schimmel, pp. 66-67). Illustrations of these or related episodes in the cycle in turn established an iconographic standard that, with the aid of such generic features as Joseph's flaming aureole, make textual reference for identification of the scene unnecessary, as is the case with a lacquer painting on a bookbinding for Jāmi's Toḥfat al-aḥrār, executed in 1570 in Qazvin (Haase, p. 61).
The most appealing subject from the Joseph story has been the episode involving Potiphar's wife, called Zolayḵā in Islamic lore. The popularity of the stories about Zolay-ḵā's love for Joseph as a subject for lyrical and narrative poetry dates back to the Ghaznavid period (Ṣafā, abr. ed., p. 122), but they attain prominence as subjects for painting after ʿAbd-al-Raḥmān Jāmi's (q.v.; d. 1492) mystical epic, the romance of Yusof o Zolayḵā (comp. 1483; Milstein, p. 15; Arberry, p. 442; Jāmi, p. 208, v. 4012). Shortly thereafter, the impact of Jāmi's romance in the visual arts became manifest in one of the most celebrated paintings in the history of Persian book illustration. It was executed by the master painter Kamāl-al-Din Behzād (d. 935/1535-36, q.v.), who chose to illustrate the scene of Zolayḵā's attempt at seducing Joseph for a passage in Saʿdi's Bustān (q.v.; Cairo, National Library, MS. Arab Farsi 908). He not only used the descriptions as provided in Jāmi's version of the story (Golombek, p. 28), but also reproduced a few verses from Jāmi's poem in the painting itself (Barry, p. 201). Although Joseph's face has partially worn away, his sense of alarm is apparent as he reaches for the latch of the locked door with one arm while Zolayḵā, pulling at his garb, is trying to prevent his escape by grabbing his other arm (Blaire and Bloom, pp. 63-64; Jāmi, p. 123, vv. 2183 ff.).
There are some 108 illustrated manuscripts of Jāmi's Yusof o Zolayḵā from the 16th century in museums and libraries around the world. Among these, which do not include such images as frontispieces or those inserted later, the most frequently illustrated episode is that of Egyptian women being overwhelmed at the sight of Joseph's dazzling beauty (54), followed by Joseph being sold at a slave market (38), and being rescued from the well (27). Such images as that of Joseph asking Jacob for a jeweled staff from heaven, or "Joseph arriving before the king of Egypt," are unique (Simpson, pp. 369-83). In its most celebrated manuscript, which is one of the septet that comprises Jāmi's Haft owrang (com. 1565; ms. 46.12, Freer Galley of Art, Washington, D.C.), the illustration depicting the final scene of Joseph's marriage to Zolayḵā might also reflect a real event in the life of Ebrāhim Mirzā (d. 984/1577; q.v.), the Safavid prince who commissioned the manuscript. The possibility that the image of Joseph, the legendary paragon of youthful beauty, is the portrait of a historical person seems doubtful, given the tendency in contemporary Persian painting toward idealized depictions of human features. So the miniature of Joseph in the banquet given for his wedding, though not an actual portrait of Ebrāhim Mirzā, could be seen as reflecting an actual event in the life of that young Safavid prince (Figure 1; Simpson, pp. 142-45).
After the 1630s, the sole commission by Shah Ṭahmāsp (r. 1524-76), perhaps the most influential patron of Persian painting (Diba, p. 169), was an illustrated Fāl-nāma (q.v.) "Book of divination," which contains a painting of Joseph enthroned (Lowery, pp. 120-21). The appeal of Zolayḵā's love for Joseph as a Sufi allegory underlay the execution of almost countless laconic miniatures of Joseph that illustrated commercially produced versions of Jāmi's romance, including some whose Persian text was transliterated into another script, such as Hebrew (Taylor, pp. 34-38; Figure 2). Shiraz (Richard, p. 137) and kashmir were the two principal centers of production. A manuscript of Jāmi's Yusof o Zolayḵā produced in Kashmir in the 18th century contains more than seventy miniatures (Ådahl, p. 12). Miniatures of Joseph continued to illustrate the Bustān of Saʿdi (Canby, p. 130), other Persian classics such as the Divān of Ḥāfeẓ (q.v.; Madraimov, III, p. 15), or works with religious and mythical narratives that invoked Joseph's story, like Mirḵᵛānd's Rawżat al-Ṣafā (Milstein, p. 15). Images of Joseph from the later Safavid period are also extant in the wall paintings at the Čehel Sotun (q.v.) palace in Isfahan (Blair and Bloom, p. 195), as well as in single-sheet drawings and portraits that became especially popular from the beginning of the 17th century (Welch, p. 302). The illustration "Zolayḵā meeting Yusof in her newly built palace" in the Golšan anthology (a collection of prose and poetry with 100 miniature illustrating episodes described in poems) from the Zand era (1750-79), paradoxically retains the two-dimensional flatness of earlier schools at the same time as it exhibits devices of European painting such as perspective (Akimushkin, pp. 163-64). The paintings of "Joseph with a pair of gazelles" in oil on canvas from the 19th century reflects the prominence of life-size painting during the Qajar period (Diba, p. 169; Ekhtiar, p. 194; Figure 3). The definitive development affecting the portrayal of Joseph in the Qajar period is its inclusion, along with heroes of the Šāh-nāma and the martyrs of Karbalā in what is commonly referred to as the coffee-house paintings (naqqāši-e qahva-ḵāna; Floor, 139). This trend in painting continues, mostly on canvas, into the present time (Sayf, pp. 98-101).

Australian prisoners have significant health issues, with high levels of mental health problems, communicable diseases, smoking, risky alcohol consumption and illicit drug use, according to a new report released today by the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare.
The health of Australia's prisoners 2009 is the first national report to examine prisoner health in Australia. It draws on several important data sources including the AIHW census of public and private prisons, conducted for the first time in 2009. It also draws on the annual deaths in custody report, and the most recent available study on bloodborne viruses in prison entrants.
The report highlights a number of significant health issues. It shows that rates of chronic conditions, such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and communicable diseases such as hepatitis B and hepatitis C, are significantly higher among prisoners than among the general population.
'Of particular concern is the number of people who enter prison with mental health issues and high levels of psychological distress,' said Ingrid Johnston of the AIHW's Social and Indigenous Group.
The report shows that almost 40% of prisoners reported having had a mental health disorder at some time; over 30% were referred to prison mental health services, and almost 20% were taking medication for a mental-health-related condition at the time they entered prison.
A history of head injury was also common among prisoners. Over 40% reported having had a blow to the head resulting in a loss of consciousness at some time in their lives.
'Risky health behaviours were far more prevalent among prisoners than among the general community,' Ms Johnston said.
Over 80% of prisoners were current smokers; and during the 12 months prior to entering prison more than 70% had used illicit drugs, and over half had consumed alcohol at risky levels.
'Imprisonment does, however, present an opportunity for health interventions and treatment,' Ms Johnston said.
The report also includes information on educational attainment, the use of health services, the health of Indigenous prisoners and comparisons with the general community and internationally. The 2009 report provides a baseline to monitor prisoner health over time.

Atmospheric river raises flooding, landslide threat in western Washington
The Green, Snoqualmie, Tolt and White rivers could hit a minor flood stage this week after days of heavy rain.

Steady rain continues to saturate Puget Sound, increasing the risk of landslides, urban and river flooding, and avalanches.
High winds are also a concern throughout Wednesday, especially to the north. Several trees fell and damaged Fairhaven residence hall at Western Washington University in Bellingham on Tuesday night, according to school officials. One minor injury was reported.
River flooding is a growing concern as an atmospheric river brings heavy rain to the region. Of particular concern are the Green, Tolt and White rivers, according to Doug Williams with the King County Department of Natural Resources and Parks, the agency that monitors and manages flood risk. The Snoqualmie and Nisqually rivers are also being closely watched.
Tolt and Snoqualmie rivers reached Flood Phase 2 by 2 p.m. on Tuesday. King County warned of at least minor flooding in low-lying areas.
Several highways on the Olympic Peninsula were flooded or partially closed due to mudslides Tuesday. Water covered SR 109 at milepost 18 near Ocean City. Crews are also working to clear slides on US 101 near Artic and SR 106 in Union.

Water covers SR 109 at milepost 18 near Ocean City in Grays Harbor County on Jan. 12, 2021.
An atmospheric river is a band of heavy rainfall that usually taps into subtropical moisture, previously known as the Pineapple Express, for heavy rain and unseasonably mild temperatures. Atmospheric rivers are the largest freshwater rivers on earth. The average atmospheric river carries twice as much water as the Amazon River flow.
This atmospheric river stretches roughly 2,700 miles, according to the National Weather Service.
RELATED: Western Washington forecast
The heavy rainfall and mild temperatures will cause local urban flooding and will cause many rivers to begin rising, with some reaching flood stage by mid-week.
The National Weather Service (NWS) issued a Flood Watch for most of western Washington through Wednesday evening. A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.
A Flood Warning is in effect for the Skokomish River at Potlatch in Mason County until late Wednesday evening. The NWS said the flood stage for the river is 16.5 feet, and the river was at 17.4 feet at 3 a.m. Tuesday. The weather service said the river is expected to rise to 17.8 feet late Tuesday morning, then fall to 17 feet before rising to around 17.3 feet Wednesday morning.
Hoquiam Airport set a new daily rainfall record yesterday with 2.32". This breaks the old record of 2.01" set in 2010. Many climate sites also hit their high temperature for the day at 11:59 pm. Such is life in an atmospheric river! We shall see what today brings! #wawx

The heavy rain will also once again raise the potential for landslides around Puget Sound.
Snow levels rose from 4,500 feet to around 7,000 feet in the Northern Cascades, which could see between one to two feet of snow through early Wednesday.

As high pressure begins to move in, the showers should decrease during the day on Wednesday and it will be breezy in most spots.
Thursday will be a dry day with some sun after morning clouds and fog. A much weaker front will move through on Friday for a little rain. However, over the weekend, high pressure will settle in for a few days for sunshine after the morning fog and low clouds. Highs will be closer to normal dropping back to the mid to upper 40s.

Kirkelan History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The first people to use the name Kirkelan were a family of Strathclyde- Britons who lived in the Scottish/English Borderlands. The name comes from when someone lived in Cumberland, at Kirkland or in Lancashire at Kirkland. Both place names have essentially the same origin: "estate belonging to a church" having been derived from the Viking word "kirkja" + "land." Kirkland in Cumberland (Cumbria) was first recorded as Kyrkeland c. 1140. [1]
Early Origins of the Kirkelan family
The surname Kirkelan was first found in Cumberland, at Kirkland, a township, in the parish and union of Garstang, hundred of Amounderness as Homines de Kyrkelaund, recorded there during the reign of Edward I. [2] Later the parish of Kirkland in Lancashire was another family seat. "After the lapse of a century, it belonged to William de Kirkland, whose name was derived from his residence, and who died in 1363." [3] As one would expect having a close proximity to Scotland, Johannes filius John de Kyrkeland held land in the territory of Gordon, c. 1280 and later William de Kyrkland was burgess of Glasgow, 1424. Again in Glasgow, listed there was Alan de Kyrklande (1463) and John de Kirkland (1471.) [4]
Important Dates for the Kirkelan family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Kirkelan research. Another 108 words (8 lines of text) covering the years 1280, 1585, 1586, 1790 and are included under the topic Early Kirkelan History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Kirkelan Spelling Variations
Surnames that evolved in Scotland in the Middle Ages often appear under many spelling variations. These are due to the practice of spelling according to sound in the era before dictionaries had standardized the English language. Kirkelan has appeared as Kirkland, Kirkeland, Kirtland and others.

Migration of the Kirkelan family
The North American colonies beckoned, with their ample land and opportunity as their freedom from the persecution suffered by so many Clan families back home. Many Scots even fought against England in the American War of Independence to gain this freedom. Recently, clan societies have allowed the ancestors of these brave Scottish settlers to rediscover their familial roots. Among them: Phillips and Nathaniel Kirkland settled in Lynn Massachusetts in 1635; John Kirkland settled in New Jersey in 1685; Charles and George Kirkland both arrived in Philadelphia in 1813 and 1832 respectively..
