CORVETTE RACING AT DAYTONA: Roar Race Win,
Rolex 24 Pole Position for No. 4 Corvette C8.R
Tandy, Sims win Corvette Racing debut in No. 4 C8.R; Catsburg and Taylor place second
1-2 finish in GTLM for Corvette C8.R and first two grid positions for Rolex 24
Corvette Racing, Chevrolet coming off 2020 sweep of full-season GTLM titles
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (Jan. 24, 2021) – Corvette Racing took first and second in the GT Le Mans (GTLM) category of Sunday's 100-minute qualifying race for next weekend's Rolex 24 At Daytona as Nick Tandy and Alexander Sims won in their debut with the team.
The victory for Tandy and Sims in the No. 4 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Chevrolet Corvette C8.R means they and Tommy Milner will start from the GTLM pole position for Saturday's Rolex 24 – the opening round of the IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship. The Roar Before the 24 test weekend also ended with Jordan Taylor and Nicky Catsburg coming home second in the No. 3 Mobil 1/SiriusXM Corvette. They will drive with Antonio Garcia in the Rolex 24.
Tandy won by 12 seconds over Catsburg as the two Corvette teams played the strategy perfectly during a race that started damp but ended under sunshine. Sims began third but took the race lead on the opening lap with the GTLM field on wet-weather tires, and Taylor ran fifth during a hectic opening . Two full-course caution periods interrupted the early going, and the two Corvettes pitted during the second yellow and went to slick Michelin tires.
Tandy emerged first out of pitlane but third on the track as two other GTLM cars elected not to stop during the yellow, with Catsburg in fifth. He made quick work of the fourth-place car, and the two Corvettes moved to first and second shortly thereafter when the two leaders stopped for the first time.
The No. 3 Corvette team elected to be the first car to make their second and final fuel-only stop with 50 minutes to go while Tandy came in with 43 minutes left. That allowed both cars to bide their time and wait for the then-leading Porsche to stop for its final time with 17 minutes remaining. Both Corvettes comfortably went back through to first and second to the end.
Sunday's race wrapped up three days of testing and development at Daytona ahead of the Rolex 24. Both Corvettes went through various chassis and suspension adjustments, among other
Corvette Racing is a three-time winner of the Rolex 24: it won the race overall in 2001 and scored back to-back GTLM wins in 2015 and 2016. A year ago, the team debuted the C8.R with a fourth-place finish for Garcia, Taylor and Catsburg as the No. 3 Corvette recorded more miles than any Corvette in the race's history.
The mid-engine C8.R and Corvette Stingray street car were developed simultaneously, and the race car and production vehicle share more technology and parts than any previous-generation Corvette. When initial Corvette C8.R design and development work began more than six years ago, Corvette Racing engineers worked closely alongside Corvette production personnel with a heavy emphasis on wind tunnel and simulation testing.
Corvette Racing will open its 2021 season with the Rolex 24 At Daytona on Jan. 30-31, which will air beginning at 3:30 p.m. ET on Saturday, January 30 across NBC, NBCSN, TrackPass and the NBC Sports App. IMSA Radio will air full practice and race coverage at IMSA.com.
NICK TANDY, NO. 4 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – GTLM WINNER: "It was awesome. The car was really good. It's great to work with my new teammates – Alex (Sims), Tommy (Milner, full-season teammate) and all the boys and girls at Corvette Racing. The car went round and round for an hour and 40 minutes. We've now got a week to sit on the pole for the Rolex 24 at Daytona. So that's pretty cool."
"It was fun, actually. Like Alex says, I think it's been really good for the Roar. It enables you to get some sort of different testing in, but it's obviously meaningful. Everyone wants to start the Rolex 24 from pole position, and we got to do this in a pressure situation and run through all the procedures. The Corvette was great. We have been working through a program as normal. Even working with the strategists and things like this is something we don't expect to go through before our first race with a new program. It was good to race with the other GTLM cars, and I'm sure it will be equally fun and probably a lot more close this time next week. It obviously is a great start for me and Alexander to kick off our time with Corvette Racing."
IMPACT OF NOT HAVING AS MANY FANS AT THE TRACK: "One hundred percent, it takes away from the event. Our sport is based on people's excitement of the competition and watching and following. A lot of us get to go racing because people enjoy watching what we are doing. Car brands and companies get behind our sport as such. I think I said to Alexander when we walked in the track on Friday, it's very strange not to have people around. Once you get into the race, when you put on your helmet on and you're in a competitive environment, you concentrate on your team's job – and that's to do the best for your car and for the people that are following you racing. The rest of the week outside the car, it's very different. I've made a lot of friends here in Daytona at this event and in the area over the last few years; it's a shame not to see them. Hopefully we are back here in 12 months' time and I'll get to say hello to a lot of them again."
THOUGHTS ON FIRST RACE WITH THE CORVETTE C8.R AFTER RACING AGAINST IT: "Racing against it last year, it looked like a car that could go around and around doing great lap times pretty consistently. Sure enough, these guys at Corvette Racing know a thing or two about building endurance race cars. Everything is slightly different than what I'm used to, but ultimately it's designed to a similar set of regulations. The two of us have watched it race last year, and it's as I expected. The team that work around it are champion class; they are multi-time champions for a reason. We're both very lucky to be part of this program and hope we can carry on and take the C8.R to its first proper endurance, long-distance victory. That is the plan."
ONE THING TO REMEMBER 10 YEARS FROM NOW AFTER WINNING YOUR FIRST RACE WITH CORVETTE: "I hope that it was the beginning of many. That it was the first time we sat in front of the media and you guys after winning a big race. Hopefully we will be here in seven days' time also."
CONCERNED ABOUT THE PORSCHE COULD MAKE IT ON ONE STOP: "Yes because if there was a heavy crash and a long caution period, it was possible for cars to stretch their fuel a lot. They had already made their stop and driver change. I think their plan was to stay out, hope for a lot of yellows and roll the dice that way. We rolled the dice and went with the slick tires on our first stop whereas a couple of the other cars kept their wet tires. It proved to be a great strategic call from Corvette Racing to get us the 1-2 in the end."
WAYS TO IMPROVE CORVETTE RACING AND THE C8.R AFTER ITS FIRST YEAR: "At the end of the day, Corvette Racing had a fantastic season with the C8.R in the debut year of the car with a ton of race wins and championships. I do know they are keen to score a long-distance victory, and it's something we obviously are keen to help with. How we go about that is difficult to say other than just being consistent. From what I've seen in our limited together, it's doing things the Corvette Racing way – going out and consistently being in and around the pace of the front-running cars. As we all know in longer races, you have to have a bit of luck come the end of the race. That's the plan for this season: try and get a few marquee event wins."
ALEXANDER SIMS, NO. 4 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – GTLM WINNER: "It was an interesting first taste of the conditions in the Corvette. Very quickly, I was given a lot of confidence from the car as to how to push. I was able to get around the BMWs on the first lap and then really just find my feet lap by lap. With the couple of cautions, it didn't feel like there was a huge amount of laps but nevertheless it was nice to get some experience in the wet and get a feeling for how the C8.R was working. Doing a hot pit stop under a reasonable amount of time pressure was nice; not a lot of the race had gone so we didn't need to fuel up too much. It was nice to go through all the procedures and have a taste of it before the 24 Hours."
IMPACT OF NOT HAVING AS MANY FANS AT THE TRACK: "I echo what Nick said. It's strange, particularly the pre-race procedure… you normally have the grid with all the fans. Thinking ahead to next week and not having that sort of awesome fan interaction is a shame. But it's how it is and it's the right thing for the moment. We're all looking forward to getting back to those days."
THOUGHTS ON FIRST RACE WITH THE CORVETTE C8.R AFTER RACING AGAINST IT: "I only drove against the C7. I remember a month or two ago from my first time in the C8.R at Sebring, it was super impressive… it really exceeded my expectations and was very, very good in many different phases of the corner. Working here this week so far, things have gone pretty well. Here in Daytona with the different conditions and the track being green, there have been some things to work on. But the Corvette Racing team has been doing a fantastic job of getting the car and us up to speed."
CORVETTE WON THE LAST TWO SPRINT RACES AT DAYTONA. CAN IT WIN THE ROLEX: "Personally I think it's definitely possible. The competition is always strong in GTLM. We'll have to keep working hard to improve things. But for me, everything is pointing in the right direction. We've done some good learning over the last few days. We need to keep things clean the first 16, 18, 20 hours to make sure we are there to fight at the end."
TOMMY MILNER, NO. 4 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: "Great job today by everyone at Corvette Racing. It's great to see Nick and Alexander get a win in their first race with the team, and we are on pole as a result. You couldn't ask for much more. We had a little bit of a bumpy start to the weekend, but since then the Corvette and the crew have been spotless. It's been a great test. It's been good to get Nick and Alexander some quality time in the car. We've all been happy with the balance and the changes that we are making; we are seeing good progress on all fronts. The C8.R is getting better, we are getting our processes down better with driver changes and every aspect to be as successful as we can for be ahead of a 24-hour race… trying to go through all the details, shore up processes and those type of things. This is what the Roar is good for when you have new teammates, new crew guys and that kind of thing – anything that's new from years past. It's good opportunity for everyone to get comfortable again with their jobs and roles. I think we can that for us on the 4 car side, we've had a very productive test."
JORDAN TAYLOR, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – FINISHED SECOND IN GTLM: "The name of the game for us was getting into next weekend with this Corvette in one piece. I think we've done a good job of that. We used today as a test session for the Rolex 24, and everything went really well. We did try some different setup stuff to help prepare us for next week so we can pick one. When we came back here in July last year, we showed everyone how much we were able to develop the C8.R since the Rolex 24. It was a little bit of a short offseason, and we went back and looked everything again. We came here with whole new philosophy on the car. Some things worked and some things didn't, so I think it's good we had these test days to try things. We continued to try thing today and I'm sure we'll be able to come back with a couple of new options come next week."
NICKY CATSBURG, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R – FINISHED SECOND IN GTLM: "The race was awesome. It was a good start to our weeks here at Daytona. It's always good to come off with a 1-2 finish, and now we get to start ahead of everyone else in the Rolex 24. The team did a good job with the strategy calls, and the Corvette was good in both the wet and the dry. We learned some stuff and have some items to improve on in the car. But this has been a great way."
ANTONIO GARCIA, NO. 3 MOBIL 1/SiriusXM CHEVROLET CORVETTE C8.R: "We were able to cycle through all three drivers this weekend, which is good. Knowing that I wasn't doing the race today, I had a little bit of limited time but did get almost half of the night practice Saturday. That was good. Our goal was to carry on to know where we are in testing different things in order to have the most data we can headed into the race. We still don't know what next weekend will bring with track conditions, the weather and the like to know how to react. It was a classic Roar because you get track time but it's limited because there are three of you in the car. It is a continuous working effort between all three drivers. In a way, it's good that the car is going in one direction. We are starting to know what we need to do ahead of Saturday."

California expands who can get a Covid-19 vaccine. But some counties say they don't have enough supply
Posted: Jan 14, 2021 7:13 AM CST
California expands who can get a Covid-19 vaccine, pictured here being administered by Nurse Yolanda Javier on January 7 in Los Angeles, California, but some counties say they don't have enough supply. By Cheri Mossburg and Christina Maxouris, CNN
(CNN) -- California adults 65 and older are now eligible to get the Covid-19 vaccine, state officials announced Wednesday in a bid to boost the number of people who receive a shot, even as demand "continues to far exceed supply."
"We are significantly increasing our efforts to get these vaccines administered, get them out of freezers and get them into people's arms," Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a video message posted to his Twitter account.
But in Los Angeles County, seniors won't be allowed to receive shots until the county's health care workers are vaccinated -- a process that's expected to stretch into February -- said Public Health Director Barbara Ferrer, citing supply shortages.
"Neither the state nor us is wanting to divert the strategy to get health care workers vaccinated," Ferrer said Wednesday during a virtual briefing. "That is the priority."
In Santa Clara County, short supply meant the county's health system was open Wednesday for vaccinations only for people 75 and older, in addition to health care workers and long-term care facility residents, officials there said.
500,000 LA health care workers to get shots
Los Angeles County has in recent weeks been the epicenter of the state's battle against Covid-19. About 1 in 3 residents have been infected since the pandemic's start, according to new county data.
Infections are so widespread, officials this week warned essential workers to wear masks inside their own homes. Hospitals have reached the breaking point. And last week, county officials said a person was dying of Covid-19 every eight minutes.
County health officials reported more than 194,000 first doses of the vaccine had been administered to people in Phase 1A -- health care workers and long-term care facility residents -- and they were preparing to ramp up vaccine capacity for 500,000 frontline health care workers.
To speed up the vaccination process, a new registration system is now open, and five mass vaccination sites will soon be operating across the county, Ferrer said. Those sites "are only open to healthcare workers in Phase 1A," health officials said in a news release.
"As the County completes Phase 1A, we can look to starting vaccinations for groups within next phase -- 1B, starting with those who are 65 and older as noted by the Governor today," the release said. "We are working with the State to identify additional vaccine doses so that we can start to schedule appointments once the doses arrive."
Supply limitations hinder loosening age limit
In Santa Clara County, the health system was open Wednesday for vaccinations for people 75 and older, in addition to people in Phase 1A, officials there said.
"We are constrained by the vaccine supply that we have available here locally," County Counsel James Williams said during a news conference. "As we continue to get more vaccine, we'll continue to move as quickly as we can through eligible tiers."
"But this is where we are at right now," Williams added.
County officials hope to be able to vaccinate residents 65 and older "as soon as we get more vaccine supply here locally," Williams added.
The county requested 100,000 more vaccine doses, but the state only authorized an additional 6,000, he said.

Selling Your Home at the Holidays!
As we approach the holiday season, it is a tempting time of year for sellers to consider taking their homes of the market for the holidays. I'd like to share some great reasons to think otherwise.
While showing activity will likely be slowed, the quality of buyers looking for homes in the snow and cold of November and December is very good. Prospects viewing properties in these months are rarely "tire kickers". They are generally serious about their search and great prospective buyers for your home.
The temptation to "take a rest" is not yours alone. Many sellers will take their homes off the market temporarily, while new sellers will wait until January to list. This means you will have more exposure and less competition now than any other time of the year.
Finally, most homes sparkle brightest at this time of year. Check back in coming days for tips on Staging your Home at the Holidays. The right touches will make your home the perfect gift for holiday buyers, and will help you find a contract in your stocking this Christmas morning.


I am trying to import a .pri key using Puttygen, but when I do, it says that it is not in a format that is recognized. The key is in SHA-2 format. If I try to import the key into WinSCP, it tells me that the key is SHA-2 and that I need to convert it. I need to use they key with WinSCP, but I am not sure how to convert it.


let's now play what's wrong with the car and how much it'll cost to fix it when it comes back to my dealership!
In other news, I literally couldnt use 1st gear as it'd just jerk the car to pieces and 2nd gear produced a horrible noise from the engine. It was sold today at sticker $5995.

«Приключения Оззи и Харриет» () — длинный американский ситком, который транслировался на ABC с 3 октября 1952 года по 26 марта 1966 года, на протяжении четырнадцати сезонов. Шоу рассказывало о жизни семьи Нельсонов, а Оззи Нельсон и Харриет Нельсон исполняли в нём ведущие роли.

Ситком «Приключения Оззи и Харриет» стартовал первоначально на радио в 1944 году. Шоу продолжалось вплоть до 1954 года, произведя в общей сложности 402 серии. В 1952 году молодая сеть ABC переместила программу на телевидение, чтобы иметь уже проверенного на радио соперника против шоу уже состоявшихся к тому моменту CBS и NBC. Шоу в итоге стартовало осенью 1952 года и оставалось в эфире до 1966 года, произведя 425 серий. Серии, выпущенные до 1964 года, перешли в общественное достояние в США. В 1962 году шоу стало первой программой со сценарием, преодолевшей десятилетний рубеж в эфире. После четырнадцати сезонов в эфире это был самый продолжительный ситком в истории американского телевидения, пока в 2021 году «В Филадельфии всегда солнечно» не стартовал 15-й сезон.

«Приключения Оззи и Харриет» считаются синонимом идеальной американской семейной жизни в 1950-х годах, а также одним из знаковых шоу ABC. Шоу, однако, никогда не было полноправным хитом рейтингов, оставаясь на протяжении всего периода трансляции за пределами Топ 10. Также ситком никогда не имел успеха с «Эмми», лишь однажды, в 1953 году получив номинацию на «Лучший комедийный сериал». В 1973 году был выпущен недолго просуществовавший спин-офф шоу. Вскоре после своего завершения «Приключения Оззи и Харриет» переместились в синдикацию, оставаясь в эфире на тематических каналах в каждом из последующих десятилетий.

Good to be busy: Hudson, Dover-Sherborn, Lincoln-Sudbury athletics finish spring with state championship trophy
By Tommy Cassell/@tommycassell44
After 91 local high school sports teams in the Daily News coverage area played in the spring playoffs, three were left standing in their respective sports as state champions.
It's over.
Hudson softball, Dover-Sherborn boys lacrosse and Lincoln-Sudbury boys lacrosse.
The aforementioned trio had the luxury of leaving Worcester, Wellesley and Quincy with state championship trophies in tow as they headed back home.
"Honestly, as a coach, to be in this game is a dream come true," Hudson softball coach Laura Bowen told the Daily News on Saturday. Bowen won a state title as a player with Hudson in 2008. "To win it and to see the girls experience what I did in high school means everything. They've worked so hard and they've bought into my philosophy."
"Lacrosse is a small community of people and if you win this game, you go back to class reunions and things like that and it's something you never forget," Dover-Sherborn boys lacrosse coach Brian McLaughlin told the Daily News on Friday. "I go back to my class reunions and see my buddies and we talk about these games."
The three state championship games all shook out a little different.
Yet, they all shared the same final result: a flurry of sticks, gloves and headwear flung into the sky.
"We said it all offseason. 'We weren't going to go out like we did last year. We want this year to end in a pig pile' and that's what we did," Lincoln-Sudbury boys lax senior captain Johnny Herlihy told the Daily News on Friday. "We worked our tails off to get to this point. Everyone in the program and you see it's paid off."
L-S (17-4) and D-S (18-5) both built big leads in the first half before staving off any comeback bid from their opponents in the Division 1 (L-S) and Div. 3 (D-S) state title games on Friday.
As for Hudson (22-3) softball, the Hawks rode the powerful left arm of senior captain Sophia Togneri to the tune of a 4-1 win over Gloucester in the Div. 2 state championship game on Saturday.
Togneri allowed one run off of four hits while striking out eight batters. The WPI-bound pitcher allowed just two runs and struck out 65 batters in five playoff games.
"She's just been tremendous," Bowen said on Saturday. "Some pitchers don't even get 65 strikeouts in a season. She's been lights out this whole postseason. She's had the fight in her eyes, especially since last year when we got knocked out. But two runs – one of which we didn't really care about? You can't ask for much more than that."
All three teams will now be asked what size they want for their state championship rings.
Not a bad way to cap off a season or career.
"A spoil of riches," L-S boys lacrosse coach Brian Vona said on Monday. "I'm not complaining."
The sports teams that aren't being sized for rings don't have much to complain about either. After all, only a handful of teams finish their season without a loss.
On Saturday, Hopkinton and Medway baseball both lost in state finals in Lowell while L-S girls rugby fell in the Div. 1 state championship game at Curry College in Milton.
"We played as far as we could and that's all we can ask for," Hopkinton baseball senior captain Ben McKenzie told the Daily News on Saturday.
"It's crazy where we've come, just in terms of the postseason," Medway baseball junior Nick Sheehan said on Saturday. "We knew we were a good team the whole year. But we were a middle-of-the-pack team come tournament time. We really turned it on in the postseason and it was something special."
Other teams that lost in the state championship game were Algonquin boys and girls tennis, Hopedale boys tennis and Natick boys volleyball.
But all of those teams – along with a glut of others from the 11 spring sports – added sectional title trophies to trophy cases at their respective high schools.
"It's great to end (my career) in a state final match," Natick boys volleyball seinor captain Brett Olen said on Thursday. "I didn't get the result that I would have wanted but, yeah, it's great."
Natick was one of seven teams to send six or more sports teams to the postseason.
The Redhawks were tied with Algonquin, Hopedale, Wayland and Wellesley while Hopkinton had seven sports team make the playoffs.
Lincoln-Sudbury led the pack by sending nine different teams to postseason play. That's 9-for-9 when we excluded boys and girls track from the list.
"They just feed off each other and it's a great atmosphere to be around," L-S baseball coach Matt Wentworth said.
"It was an absolutely awesome spring and the coaches and athletes did a great job," L-S athletic director Art Reilly said.
And now, the spring is officially over.
Bring on the summer.

Some Dallas musicians will celebrate a local education program today with a world premiere that's been 20 years in the making.
Some Dallas musicians will celebrate a local education program today with a world premiere that's been twenty years in the making.
Allen says Young Strings was formed to teach black and Hispanic children how to play classical instruments, like the violin and cello. The program offers mostly low-income participants free lessons by top teachers. Today, there's an almost even split of African American and Latino participants.
To celebrate that growth in the program's 20th year, former Young Strings cellist, Stamos Martin, has written Do They Dream?
The DSO commission includes parts for all current and past Young Strings members, including teachers. Allen says Martin wrote simpler parts for young members, and tougher sections for older ones.
Stamos Martin, who's black, says if he hadn't been picked for Young Strings back in high school, he's not sure he would now be completing his PhD in composition.
Simmonds, a Frisco ISD music teacher, played with Martin in the Young Strings program years ago. Neither of her Mexican-born parents graduated high school as teenagers.
Simmonds says Young Strings, which she first joined when she was eight, changed her life. And now, one of her eight year-old students auditioned and got picked for the program. The youngster may or may not pursue music as a career, but former Young Strings member, Ashley Hunt, says that's OK. The 32 year-old insurance broker thanks her Young Strings training for some of her business success.
Hunt attributes those life skills to Young Strings. And years of scientific research also suggests musical training is tied to improved reading and literacy skills, and an ability to delay some cognitive challenges from aging. Hunt and the others in this story will perform in this afternoon's world premiere of Martin's Do They Dream? Allen says live strings will make a world of difference compared to the electronic facsimile.
I thought the Artistic Director, Mr. Dwight Shambley, who is African-American, a Founder, and a member of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra, would also be featured in this interview story about Young Strings. Am disappointed that he was not included, though it is a nice piece.
I agree! If it wasn't for his caring and genius-self, many of us alumni would have had a different path in life and may not have aspired as much. I am so thankful to him and his wife, my pivate teacher, for nurturing and enriching my music abilities. I am now the orchestra and mariachi director at Greiner MS, the flagship middle school that feeds to Booker T. Washington HS, the high school for the Arts!
Lupe is a shining example of SUCCESS for the Young Strings Program!! She is, herself, a trail-blazer and devoted to all her students at Greiner MS, as well as all students from anywhere and everywhere! Lupe, you are a true Inspiration and represent ALL that Young Strings stands for! BRAVA!!
Great story on the Radio about Young Strings, however, it is not just a "local education program", it is a NATIONALLY Awarded and Recognized Program and boasts a nearly perfect score for these talented and dedicated young musicians going ON to College!

      <button onClick={onClick}>Submit</button>

  );
};

        document: result
      });
    })
    .catch(err => next(err));
});

A: Assuming you have already installed multer, If you see the following code
router.post("/", upload.single("myFile"), (req, res, next) => {
  console.log(req.file);

The "myFile" has to be the name of the formField coressponding to the file that is being passed, which in your case is "imageData". Try replacing "myFile" with "imageData".
Also set headers for the axios post request being made from react. The form attributes may not have effect on the manual http requests
var header = {
        'Content-Type': 'multipart/form-data'
    }

await axios.post("/", fd,{ headers : header });

Try and let me know if it works.

the oscars: best supporting actor
jason robards won this oscar back to back, seventy-seven and seventy-eight, for his roles in all the president's men and julia. then christopher walken (LOVE! but then, who doesn't?) in the deer hunter.
winners in the eighties: melvyn douglas (WHO?? i looked at his film credits and still don't know who the fuck he is) in being there; timothy hutton in ordinary people; john gielgud in arthur; louis gosset jr. in an officer and a gentleman (HATE that movie); jack nicholson in terms of endearment (i feel like he was probably just playing himself, but okay, sure, why not?); hain s. ngor in the killing fields; don ameche in cocoon; michael caine in hannah and her sisters; sean connery (also LOVE, but again, who doesn't?) in the untouchables; and kevin kline in a fish called wanda. i saw two of those.
supporting actor roles i favor from that decade: harrison ford in empire strikes back; sean penn in fast times at ridgemont high; alan ruck in ferris bueller's day off; mandy patinkin in the princess bride; and tom skerritt in steel magnolias. of course, i don't know that i could say any of these are oscar worthy, but then…
the nineties: denzel washington (blech) in glory; joe pesci in goodfellas; jack palance in city slickers; gene hackman in unforgiven; tommy lee jones in the fugitive; martin landau in ed wood; kevin spacey in the usual suspects; cuba gooding jr. in jerry maguire (WTF?); robin williams in good will hunting; and james coburn in affliction. i saw four of'm.
supporting actor roles i favor from that decade: alan rickman in robin hood: prince of thieves; val kilmer in tombstone; joe pesci in with honors.
the two thousands: michael caine in the cider house rules; benicio del toro in traffic; jim broadbent in iris; chris cooper in adaptation; tim robbins in mystic river; morgan freeman in million dollar baby; george clooney in syriana (over paul giamatti in cinderella man. i call bullshit); alan arkin in little miss sunshine; javier bardem in no country for old men; and heath ledger in the dark knight (YES). i saw four of'm.
supporting actor roles i favor from that decade: tom wilkinson in dedication.
this decade: christoph waltz in inglorious basterds (YES); christian bale in the fighter; christopher plummer in the beginners; christoph waltz in django unchained; jared leto in dallas buyer's club; j.k. simmons in whiplash; and mark rylance in bridge of spies. i've seen one of'm.
supporting actor roles i favor from this decade: bill nighy in about time; sharlto copley in the a-team; sam rockwell in the way way back; and hugo weaving in hacksaw ridge.
which brings us to the nominees:
mahershala ali in moonlight
jeff bridges in hell or high water
lucas hedges in manchester by the sea
dev patel in lion
michael shannon in nocturnal animals
okay. o. kay. here's my issue. dev patel plays the main goddamned character in lion. the story is about his character's struggles! how is he a nominee for best fucking supporting actor? like viola davis is a nominee for best supporting actress when she's playing the main character's freaking wife! i would think both of these folks should be in the best actor/actress categories, but then… that would make sense, and most of the time the oscars don't. i feel like the boy who played the young saroo should've been nominated for best supporting actor (i love that kid. he was so good, yall!) instead of patel. and i would've wanted him to win. since i've not seen the others, i can't really speculate on who should win, but i'm gonna guess it'll be mahershala ali.
the best instances in which the academy got it right: robin williams in good will hunting; javier bardem in no country for old men; and heath ledger in the dark knight.
Categorized as film
Elliptical Man says:
Hutton was good, but he should have been in Best Actor.
Del Toro was great in Traffic. Same with Leto in DBC.
Ledger won because he died.
Erin of TexErin-in-SydneyLand says:
How can you "blech" Denzel Washington?
I agree Dev should be Best Actor and Sunny should be Best Supporting. That kid gave me goosebumps so many times.
I feel the Academy did get it right a few more times than you mentioned…then again, I don't know who the winners were up against. For me, the following performances by winners still stick with me as memorable for their brilliance:
Kevin Spacey – The Usual Suspects; Robin Williams – Good Will Hunting; Javier Bardem – No Country for Old Men; Christoph Waltz – for both Inglorious Bastards and Django Unchained; Christian Bale – The Fighter; Jared Leto – Dallas Buyer's Club.
I know you and I agree about this…Samuel L. Jackson as Carl Lee Bailey in A Time to Kill is a performance worth an award…and Val Kilmer as Doc Holliday in Tombstone.
i was told there'd be cake
the oscars: best actress

Final Report on an Evaluation of Six Pilot Coordinated Care Projects for High-Needs Medicaid Recipients
This program aimed to improve health care quality and reduce Medicaid costs for high-needs Medicaid recipients in New York by helping them use appropriate care that would reduce hospital admissions and emergency department visits. The program did not appear to reduce Medicaid costs or care from hospitals and emergency departments.
What Do We Know About the Intersection of Welfare and Disability Programs?
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Supplemental Security Income serve low-income individuals with disabilities. Yet the programs' differences in approach and structure pose challenges to coordinating services. The Administration for Children and Families and the Social Security Administration contracted with MDRC and its partners to conduct the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project. Five publications from the project have just been released.
Examining the Interaction Between Welfare and Disability
Lessons from an In-Depth Data Analysis
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. This brief uses MDRC's analysis of merged national-level TANF and SSI data — two rich data sources that have never before been linked — to better understand the extent of the two programs' overlap.
Understanding Supplemental Security Income (SSI)
A Guide for TANF Staff Members
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. This brief compares the SSI disability determination process with TANF procedures, discusses how some TANF agencies gauge who is likely to qualify for SSI, and reviews the employment support programs of both.
The TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
Innovative Strategies for Serving TANF Recipients with Disabilities
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. Yet the two programs' differences in approach and structure pose challenges to coordinating services. This report describes the implementation and findings of three promising pilot interventions intended to address that problem.
Connections Between TANF and SSI
Lessons from the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. To understand how best to help TANF recipients with disabilities, the parent agencies of TANF and SSI contracted with MDRC and its partners to conduct the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project. This brief summarizes the project's findings.
Assessing and Serving TANF Recipients with Disabilities
A sizable portion of the adult TANF population has disabilities, but identifying the needs of clients with disabilities and offering them appropriate services can prove difficult. This brief describes assessment strategies used by local TANF agencies and organizations, discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and offers points to consider in choosing methods.
Final Report on the Kaiser Permanente Colorado Coordinated Care Pilot Program
Managing Health Care for Medicaid Recipients with Disabilities
This program aimed to improve the quality of health care while reducing Medicaid costs by helping individuals use appropriate care that would reduce hospital admissions and emergency department visits. Like a similar pilot run by Colorado Access, which is described in a separate report, it had little effect on health care use.
The Intersection of Welfare and Disability
Early Findings from the TANF/SSI Disability Transition Project
Both Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) may serve low-income individuals with disabilities. Yet the two programs' differences in approach and structure pose challenges to coordinating services. This report describes how TANF agencies interact with local SSA offices and documents the extent to which adult TANF recipients are connected with the SSI system.

Happiness and Money in Madagascar [2019 Poll Results]
Author: Simon LEE
30/08/2019. According to the study "Happiness and Life Satisfaction" by Esteban Ortiz-Ospina and Max Roser, rich countries are more inclined to be optimistic about life. This can be seen in the Global Happiness Index, which places countries such as Finland, Denmark and Norway on the podium of the world's happiest countries this year, followed by other Northern European countries. But does money mean happiness? The Stileex Post then conducted a field study in Antananarivo with 1044 respondents to find out the relationship between happiness and money in Madagascar.
How to make money in Madagascar?
The future doesn't scare the Tananarivians
The priority in Madagascar: money, family, health?
Happiness is in a well-paid job according to the Tananarivians
Tananarivians and work
For the sake of happiness, in Madagascar we are willing to sacrifice money
90% of Tananarivians do not consider themselves in need
If we ask Tananarivians what three ways of earning money spontaneously come to mind, the answers are not long in coming: working and earning a salary (57%), being self-employed (56%), and owning one's own business are the most frequent answers we received. Less cited, but still opted by some Tananarivians, being an inventor and discoverer (25%), dirty money (21%) and real estate investments which have two points less (19%) come in second place.
Gambling, knowing that only 7% of Malagasy people play it regularly, financial investments, winning an inheritance, credits, being a top-level sportsman, selling all one's possessions, being an artist or making savings are undoubtedly the means judged to be the least effective in view of the votes obtained, which are 17%, 12%, 12%, 11%, 9%, 8% and 4% respectively.

But which of these options is then the best way to make money? According to the Tananarivians, nothing beats working on one's own to become rich (35%), which is eleven points ahead of the option to work and earn a salary (24%). If we often hear that nobody becomes rich by working 8 hours a day and earning a salary, the citizens of the capital definitely think the opposite.
The next question we asked the Tananarivians asked them which statement best described the way they approached life. According to the answers received, our respondents hesitated between "Whatever the future holds for me, I am ready," chosen by 430 Tananarivians, or 41% of our panel, followed, to a point, by the statement "I am preparing for the future, but without forgetting to sometimes take advantage of the present moment," which convinced 40% of our respondents. 19% of Malagasy people, for their part, prefer to live from day to day, without worrying about the next day.
So in Madagascar, we tend to pay tribute to friends and family by singing out loud "friends first" like Georges Brassens or not? Well no, in the country, health comes first, according to almost 3 out of 4 Tananarivians, followed by family at 27% and finally by money and career according to 16 respondents among our panel of 1044 people, or 2%.

Even though money does not seem to be high on the list of priorities of our respondents, we still wanted to know why they wanted the money. For the most part (82%), being able to acquire valuable goods seems to be the primary motivation of the inhabitants of the capital, followed by the desire to live without worries or constraints (16%) and the thirst for power (2%). Our Tananarivians still want to remain modest because none of them has opted for glory.
"How many Tananarivians have ever thought of changing their lives? "Contrary to what one might think, the people of Tananarivo are very happy with the life they lead, because only 14% of our respondents have thought about it. For what reason? 71% of them say they are unhappy and the remaining 29% say they don't earn much. On the other hand, none of the respondents said they hate their job.

But in Antananarivo, do people choose a job for the income it generates? Absolutely. Because according to 3 out of 5 Tanananarivians (60%), the choice of a job is made according to the remuneration. Moreover, according to 64% of our respondents, a high income guarantees an interesting and pleasant job. It is undoubtedly a corollary to this question that 70% of them answered that they do not want to change jobs with a lower income in order to be more fulfilled in their professional life. 29% are nevertheless ready to take the step, while 3% are hesitant.
We first asked how many hours the Tananarivians worked:

Craftsmen, farmers and traders
Liberal Professions
Executives, business leaders and senior intellectual professions
Less than 5h 0 % 3 % 1 % 0 %
6h 5 % 6 % 11 % 0 %
7h 5 % 7 % 6 % 0 %
8h 73 % 37 % 41 % 100 %
9h 7 % 23 % 22 % 0 %
10h 6 % 20 % 14 % 0 %
11h 0 % 0 % 1 % 0 %
12h and more 4 % 4 % 4 % 0 %
According to these working hours, the Tananarivians consider that they can consider themselves lucky by earning between 400 and 600,000 Ar (37%), a little more for 28% of those surveyed who ask for between 600 and 800,000 Ar. For 16% of Tananarivians, between 200 and 400,000 Ar may be enough, while for 10% of our respondents, between 800 and 1,000,000 Ar should make them happy. 6% need a little more money to feel fulfilled, to the tune of 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 Ar. The most "greedy", but understandable given the cost of living in Madagascar and who make up 1% of our panel, said that earning between 1 500 and 2 000 000 Ar would make them happy. 2% of Tananarivians who participated in our survey responded that they could be satisfied with between 100 and 200 000 Ar.
But making money for what? The three most common choices made by Tananarivians are to buy or build a house (79%), buy land (51%) and buy a car (24%). Helping the family and putting money aside follow with 21% of the ways. Buying furniture (13%), a motorbike (10%) or making donations (10%), household appliances (8%), travelling (7%), solving health problems (3%) or starting a business (1%) are also part of the Tananarivians' projects.

In Madagascar, nearly 3 out of 5 Malagasy people are willing to sacrifice money for happiness. Then, in order to be happy, 19% of our respondents confess to be able to get rid of their family or to ruin their health for 7% of our panel. The remaining 3% did not want to express an opinion on this.
Still in this sense, 4% of our respondents admitted having no qualms about hurting their relatives if they were given enough money to be able to live their whole life without missing anything, the majority (96%) answered in the negative.
Rich? No, not a single Tananarivian considers himself to be rich, on the other hand 1% of our respondents say they are in the process of becoming rich. What is certain is that 90% of the citizens of the City of a Thousand say that they lack nothing, 90%. The remaining 9% say they are poor. Yes, but do they want to become rich one day? More than half of our respondents, 56% to be precise, are confident about this, 33% would probably wish to become rich while 11% of the 1044 Tananarivians we interviewed would not quite wish to become rich.
Moreover, 65% of our panel think it is possible to become rich in Madagascar if 35% answered in the negative.

Spanish Beer Dinner Kicks Off 4th Annual Dark & Stormcloudy Film & Beer Series
Written by Paul Starr
Stormcloud Brewing Company and The Garden Theater are partnering for a fourth year to present the Dark & Stormcloudy Film and Beer Series. The series pairs award-winning foreign films with small batch darkbeers, handcrafted specifically for each movie by Stormcloud Brewing Company.
New this year, each film and beer pairing will be center stage at a special Beer Dinner featuring cuisine inspired by the film's country of origin. Stormcloud's owners say the beer dinners will offer an evening of fine dining with international flavors for attendees of this year's series.
"The Dark & Stormcloudy series has traditionally brought visitors to downtown Frankfort for a taste of great beer and engaging cinema," says Rick Schmitt, Stormcloud Co-Owner. "This year we wanted to raise the bar by showcasing the incredible cuisine of the country each film originates from. Our beer dinner guests can expect to enjoy an exceptional and intimate dining experience."
The first beer dinner takes place Tuesday, January 17 with a pairing of Spanish cuisine and Stormcloud's handcrafted ales. All three beer dinners will be held at Stormcloud Brewing Company's pub in downtown Frankfort. The film, beer and food pairings continue in February and March with a second and third film, beer and dinner. Each beer dinner includes admission to the corresponding film.
Each film will be shown in the historic Garden Theater, next-door to Stormcloud Brewing Company in downtown Frankfort. Admission to each film is $7 per person. Plus, each movie ticket purchaser receives a $5 Stormcloud token. Please note, beer will not be served inside The Garden Theater. Both film and beer titles and descriptions are outlined below and can be found at Frankfortgardentheater.com/dark.
January Film: Spy Time, an action-comedy from Spain. Adolfo is a dull security guard who loses his girlfriend, becomes the target of a dangerous criminal, and learns his father is a secret agent. Forced to work with his dad, Adolfo attempts to win back his girl while trying to stay alive.

An isolated retiree with strict principles and a short fuse, who spends his days enforcing neighborhood rules and visiting his wife's grave, Ove has given up on life. Enter a boisterous young family next door who accidentally flattens Ove's mailbox while moving in, earning his special brand of ire. Yet from this inauspicious beginning an unlikely friendship forms. What emerges is a heartwarming tale of unreliable first impressions and the reminder that life is sweeter when shared.

March Film: The Brand New Testament, a comedy from Belgium. God exists, and He's a jerk. He lives in a high-rise apartment in Brussels and never gets out of His pajamas. He takes sadistic delight in dreaming up new "laws" to torment humanity and He's a petty tyrant to His wife and ten year-old daughter, Ea. Like her brother before her, Ea has had enough of her Father's abuse and when she spies the right opportunity, she hacks into His computer and leaks to the entire world the only thing He has over them: their inevitable death date. Ea, after escaping and with her Father in pursuit, gathers apostles and writes her own New Testament to try to fix the mess her Father has made of humanity. Winner of Best International Film at the Haifa International Film Festival, Best Film, Best Director, Best Script and Best Original Score at the Magritte Awards, Belgium.
March Beer: Ea & The Goddess. A traditional Belgian Dark Strong Ale brewed with ingredients inspired by the Last Supper.

February 5th is National Frozen Yogurt Day!
While regular yogurt has been around for 5000 years, frozen yogurt was originated in New England in the 1970s.
When frozen yogurt first hit the market in the 1970s, it was not as popular as it is today. Many consumers felt that the dessert was too tart and similar to room temperature yogurt.
In the '80s, frozen yogurt manufacturers began to play with the dessert's recipe, adding flavor and changing the texture.
They were able to create the frozen yogurt we are familiar with today, something a bit more palatable to the public.
The health conscious crowds began to eat up the product, skyrocketing sales to $25 million. The growth did not stop there; by the '90s, the product had reached $330 million in sales.

The Campaign for King's Ridge
Our Vision: Room for Everyone
In August of 2019, CASA purchased six acres of land in Raleigh near Wake Medical Center as the future site of the King's Ridge Apartments. King's Ridge will end homelessness for single adults and families, reducing the number of people experiencing homelessness in Raleigh/Wake County by 10%.
CASA's vision for King's Ridge is to emulate Charlotte's Moore Place community, and other nationally recognized supportive housing models, as a high-quality, affordable apartment community that ends homelessness. King's Ridge will provide permanent housing for up to 100 households, serving both individuals and families. The property main floor will include community space, offices, and access to wrap around supports like case management, integrated primary and mental healthcare, employment, and childcare support. The site is well located minutes from downtown Raleigh with a public bus stop across the street.

About King's Ridge
Access to permanent and affordable housing. Residents will pay one-third of their income for rent and can renew their lease year after year.
Minimal barriers to participation. King's Ridge will be home to single adults and families who live with disabilities, histories of homelessness, and insufficient credit to qualify for conventional housing.
Housing First model. This model recognizes the importance of stable housing as the first step in addressing other life challenges. Once housed, residents partner with case managers to determine which supportive services they need to increase long-term success in their new homes.
Comprehensive, accessible wraparound services. Residents at King's Ridge will have easy access to supportive services, including case management, employment assistance, mental health counseling, substance abuse treatment, childcare navigation, connections to public assistance programs, and other services to prevent evictions and ensure residents understand their rights and responsibilities as renters.
Personal voice and choice. Like a resident of a traditional apartment community, King's Ridge residents will sign a lease, have control over their own lives and schedules, and can come and go as they please. They can direct the array and intensity of services they receive by working with a service provider to set individual goals.
CASA's King's Ridge apartments will be named in loving memory of our longtime CEO, Debra King.
Who will live at King's Ridge?
Raleigh and Wake County desperately need more affordable apartments for both single adults and families. Ending homelessness for single adults leads to better health outcomes and more positive participation in the community. Ending homelessness for families with children disrupts a generational cycle of poverty and decreases the likelihood that children and youth who live at King's Ridge will experience homelessness as adults.
At King's Ridge, single adults and families will live in community with one another, just as they do in neighborhoods and apartment communities across the city. We envision King's Ridge as a vibrant community that meets residents where they are and is designed with supports for aging in place. The community will feature adult and child-friendly flexible spaces for counseling, meetings, and various activities.
How will residents be selected?
Our commitment is to end homelessness at King's Ridge. Updates about who should apply will be posted here and shared with project partners as the project progresses.
Can I refer a future resident for King's Ridge?
Yes, when most of the funding for King's Ridge is in place and the architectural plans are approved, we will share the qualification requirements and an application for those who would like to live at King's Ridge. We understand that a number of our neighbors are already eager to submit applications, and we are committed to creating a clear process as soon as we can.
King's Ridge will reduce Wake County homelessness by more than 10%
In 2019, 970 individuals were homeless in Wake County: 70% were adults, and 30% were families with children.
With up to 100 apartments, King's Ridge will reduce this number by over 10%
King's Ridge will target chronic homelessness among those earning less than 50% of the area median income (AMI), with an emphasis on those lower than 30% AMI
The first phase of the Campaign for King's Ridge raised $19.5M for construction. With more than 90% of construction dollars raised, we are moving forward with construction as planned. While construction costs have increased significantly since we launched the campaign in 2020, we know that the individuals and families who are homeless today cannot wait. Please join us in continuing the momentum of the campaign for King's Ridge to address increased construction costs, equip the community with trauma-informed design and durable furnishings, build programs, and complete the Sustainability Endowment goal for long-term sustainability. Donate Now.
Thanks to the generosity of our community and public-private partners working together to create this housing solution, the King's Ridge community will begin construction in 2022 as planned.

That's where I am located. I would like to meet and greet and get to know any of you who might be in the area. Also, if you have any leads, please let me know.
I'm an hour or two north of you, outside of Olympia, WA.
Sometimes I go down there for the bookstore (name is escaping me for the moment; is it Powell's?) and sometimes for Everclear.


Are you familiar with New Year's resolution? Did you succeeded in make your dream come true that year? Isn't it frustrating to make a wish every New Year's Eve and that wish don't come true? For me is frustrating.
What do you think are the reasons the majority of people don't fulfill their dreams?
I figure something out and I want to share with you a method that guarantees your success in 2016. I've also post this article on linkedin.
In the past few years I've really thought about it. And the week between Christmas and New Year seems to be the perfect period of the year to think about it.
It turns out that I am not the only one who during the last week of the year thinks about the achievements. Many global leaders do and encourage that.
Isn't it wonderful to think about that at the same time with you billions of people do the same thing?
Could our power combined do miracles or great things in the world? I bet!
In 2014 I've read an article (sadly I couldn't find the source anymore) on how to set our New Year's resolutions in the most intelligent way possible. The author suggested instead of a large list with many goals, to choose just 1 word which can define our next year. It will be easier to remember this one word as a guidance than to carry with us a list with 20-30 goals. Right?
Choosing 1 word to define our next year is a simpler way to assure you will fulfill your dream.
I did this suggestion back on 31.12.2014 when I've chosen my 2015 word to be ACTION. And guess what?!
… just because I've chosen to take actions a little bit than before.
For 2016 I have chosen the word BUSINESS because I want to take to a professional level the development I've started over a year ago.
I also statement this belief in video in Romanian Cuvânt pentru 2016 | Mădălina Ghinescu | Speakers Club.
Last night I had an online session with 4 great people. We talked about how to transmute our thoughts and wishes in actions in 2016. Each of us set 1 word for themselves. I heard words like HEALTH, PROJECT, DREAM, BUSINESS.
Isn't this a great tool to make sure you fulfill your dream? I do think that and I want to thank to the author who inspired me with this tool.
What do you think about this tool? Will you do the same exercise like us did? What word will you choose?
Magical Christmas & A Fabulous New Year!

2023: Stop Threatening Others, Dialogue With North, South – Ohanaeze Tells Igbos
The Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly Worldwide, on Friday, said the Southeast must unite and dialogue with the Western and Southern parts of the country.
The body said dialoguing with other regions was the only way the Igbos could get anything from Nigeria.
In a statement signed and forwarded to DAILY POST, Amb Tony Chiemelu Obizoba, the Director-General Strategic Planning and Implementations of Ohanaeze, said the Southeast must stop threatening other tribes and regions.
Obizoba cautioned those making derogatory remarks about other regions and attributing them to Ohanaeze to desist.
He said, "Having been through the many discrepancies resulting from the cacophony of voices and which has had adverse effects on the fortunes of the race, we are hereby making it clear to Nigerians and constituted authorities in the country that the only legitimate body that can speak on behalf of Ndi Igbo in terms of matters of importance is the Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly Worldwide being the one registered by the Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) and so recognised by law to do so.
2023: Why Tinubu is the most capable candidate to succeed…
We All Have A Role To Play To Make Tinubu The Next President…
"We also must seize this opportunity to dissociate ourselves as Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly Worldwide from those divisive comments such as threatening the sovereignty of Nigeria, other tribes and regions should Igbo not get what it desires in the project called Nigeria on the time they are specifying, mainly 2023 elections.
"Our position on the forthcoming general elections is that Ndi Igbo, if they need any position, should build bridges and consult widely within the various divides, not asking anybody that has declared interest to drop his interest and wait for Ndi Igbo to come and present its candidate.
"We urge our people that if we must have a stake in the project called Nigeria, then we have to begin to build bridges with immediate effect. We have to build a wider consultation from the stakeholders of Ndigbo.
"Ohanaeze Ndigbo is urging all stakeholders to unite as one, dialogue and consult widely with the North and West to be able to establish their presence and cordial relationship before talking of attaining any certain position.
"So, we are not going to play along with the other group of people calling themselves Ohanaeze Ndigbo and who are asking those that have declared interest to run for the presidential seat to drop their ambition.
"From the foregoing, we notice that people are battling from all angles to hijack this Ohanaeze Ndigbo for their own selfish interests and this is happening especially from the illegitimate groups and some of the few governors trying to outshine the legitimate body that is Ohanaeze Ndigbo General Assembly Worldwide. We will, however, not allow them to do so, whoever intends to do business with Igbo should know that transacting with such illegitimate groups means being on one's own.
"As for us, we will continue to urge our leaders to build bridges and consult widely with the various divides to be able to discuss, if actually, we want this project Nigeria to succeed. This is because you cannot talk of the Nigeria project and then you say you don't want to talk to the North or the West. It means you are just talking to yourselves, it is not done. A paradigm shift now is a must."

Easy-listening guitar
Posted on September 27, 2016 by cliveoconnell
RETURN TO THE DANCE
Michelle Nelson
Move Records MCD 531
This is a short (41 minutes) disc consisting of some homages, pastiches, imitations, take-offs – apply whichever term you like – and several original compositions. Melbourne guitarist Michelle Nelson has constructed and recorded a set of six works (well, five: the first and last tracks employ the same material in different guises) that are intended to link the old and the new as well as bring art-music back into the popular domain. The results make for soothing sounds but nothing to challenge or excite the intellect.
Nelson's creations vary in their persuasiveness. While the debt to other composers presents as obvious in the specified cases, Nelson's melodic and harmonic material can be sledge-hammer in impact. For instance, for the CD's title (and opening track) we are referred to Gaspar Sanz and Santiago de Murcia; the former became more familiar than Murcia because of Rodrigo's use of six dances from the Baroque composer's Instruccion as the basis for the Fantasia para un gentilhombre concerto of 1954. Even dipping a toe into the treasury of guitar music that both writers have left gives you a pretty good idea of the basis on which this sequence of three pieces – Danza, Minuet, Return – was constructed: harmonic orthodoxy, simplicity of melodic elements, a steady rhythm in each (reinforced by bongos with occasional bar chimes for extra colour from Mark Murphy). Nelson uses these tropes in fairly basic adaptations; her imitations tend to be lacking in interest, deficient in bite and lyrical appeal.
The Return is a rephrasing of the main melody from the opening Danza, but it eventually gives up on melody as a contributing element and simply alternates a dominant/tonic sequence. The first two parts have suggestions of the two Spanish masters but Nelson's variants sound pretty tame by comparison with those of her forebears.
Like many before her, Nelson heads for the summit with The Guitarist's Bach: Hommage a J.S. Bach. This is a five-movement suite, starting with a clear reference to the E Major Violin Partita's opening Preludio; but, where the master uses the two semiquavers-quaver as the kick-off for an invigorating moto perpetuo, Nelson settles in for a more moderate. ambling progression with a simple underpinning that alternates between A and E, while some awkward figuration passages dawdle on top. The Courante that follows holds more harmonic interest at the outset with some gentle early 2oth-century key switches – but these are very quickly passed through. Too little interest blights the Sarabande which gets stuck in a repetitious groove far longer than Bach would have allowed himself. The Bouree has some odd touches, like an asymmetrical two beats added on to the first half that make the dance's symmetry questionable.because these extras don't appear in the dance's second half. As for the Gigue conclusion, the tune is fluent enough but any supporting notes are functional at best and the harmonising structure that is provided remains unadventurous.
Ice Crystals, five individual vignettes, acknowledge no obvious ancestry and strike a quietly original note. Nelson sticks to her last with a predictable framework of operations and, once she puts her focus onto a particular gesture, she exploits it relentlessly, as in the spreadeagled chord of the first piece, and the Villa-Lobos-suggestive harmonics of the second crystal. Then comes a piece that succeeds because Nelson uses her descending arpeggio figure in modulations and shapes the piece's movement with a finesse suggestive of a post-impressionist prelude. Although No. 4 maintains its three-chord rhythm for most of the time, it impresses for its limpidity and the atmospheric echo provided by the CD's engineers, while the final member of this bracket seems to revert back to the disc's opening track although the melodic trajectory has changed.
Platypus Rag involves Nelson's guitar with a 'taropatch' played by Lesley Gentilin. This latter is a ukulele commonly found in Hawaii; from what I can glean, the taropatch nomenclature refers more to its slack-key tuning than to the instrument itself. The rag itself is amiable but short – less than 2 minutes.
Dances for the New World begins with New Volta, an updating of Elizabeth I's favourite choreographic exercise involving a partner. I'm not sure whether the revision offers much advance on the older style, chiefly because Nelson's updating lacks even the small variety of divisions that a volta aficionado like Byrd provided. Rock 'n Rolan: Hommage a Marc Bolan puts a sedately stepping tune into the bass with an inverted pedal note (progressing after a while to a chord) to provide a petty superfluous root function. As for its relationship to the British rock musician, I can't make any worthwhile comment, knowing only two Bolan songs. Mirage offers a pleasantly euphonious series of chords above a cantus firmus of one rhythmic motif; however, it serves the purpose of giving the New World target audience a reassuring outcome – there'll be no change to the expected and predictable.
Finally, Return to the Dance IV involves electronics alongside a normal classical guitar and one of Yamaha's silent guitars. The work refers back to the opening track but is as static as much of the rest of the disc: happy to keep the bass constant and proposing little above it except repeated chord patterns which are subjected to synthesizer manipulation. In the end, the track turned into tedium. Yes, you found plenty of easy listening in this album, which is at its most appealing in the Ice Crystals tracks. But the overall effect is to put your receptors into neutral; the CD is pleasant, but there's not much going on.

Chief Men Among the Brethren Biography
JOHN MARSDEN CODE was born 1805. He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin, took the degree of M.A., and was ordained a clergyman of the Church of England, but soon withdrew for conscientious reasons. He had a curacy at Westfort, Co. Mayo, and is mentioned in the life of the Archbishop of Tuam as having resigned and joined the Brethren.
It was about that time that J. N. Darby, C. Hargrove, and others left the Established Church. Mr, Code never joined with J.N.D. in his Exclusive views, though he was much attached to him personally. He was with the Brethren at Cork, and ministered there. Later he left
Ireland and settled in Bath with his family, and remained there till his death; and there he ministered with much acceptance for many years.
He was a great Bible student and deeply taught in the Scriptures. His preaching the Gospel on Lord's Day evening was very impressive and much appreciated by members of the Church of England who regularly attended the meetings in large numbers. He was entirely possessed by the love of God, and though never forgetting the hatefulness of sin, used to say very often: "God-hates sin, and loves the sinner."
He had only one idea in life — CHRIST! — and it was the same in his home, where he frequently burst out in some beautiful spiritual expression.
One who knew him most intimately writes: "I have never known any one more utterly possessed and permeated by Christ his Saviour. "Like so many of the gifted men given by the Lord to the Church in these times, Mr. Code was equally facile with his pen, and his "Notes on Romans" are veritable gems. He was a frequent speaker at the various conferences, and his presence and ministry of the Word at the believers' meetings in Dublin were always hailed with thankfulness to the Lord.
He had ever desired, if the Lord should call him home before His return, to be taken suddenly, and the Lord granted his wish, for at 4 o'clock on 16th April, 1873, he quietly and quickly fell asleep in Jesus, aged 68. There was no sense of death—no pain, no farewell word. He did not seem to die. Life seemed as if simply suspended here, to be resumed in Paradise. The last words of Scripture he repeated were: "For so He giveth His beloved sleep." He was greatly beloved and much mourned.
