Bach to Bollywood: Polish violinist Sylwia Malachowska's story so far
#NRI NRI Stories News Global
Rahul Venkit Thursday, November 9th 2017
She likes chai as much as she likes Tchaikovsky. Vivaldi, Mozart and Beethoven too.
But to understand how Polish violinist Sylwia Malachowska went from playing Bach to Bollywood, one has to retrace her origin story.
Sylwia comes from a hamlet village in south-western Poland called Rebiszow, with a population of all of 700.
At age 7, she unassumingly told her grandmother she wanted to play violin. Her grandma took her to a local school of music for an audition and the rest is history.
Having completed her studies in international relations in Wroclaw and Athens, Sylwia in 2013 came to Brussels - the beating heart of the EU - in search of opportunity.
While trying to make it as a full-time musician, she picked up part-time work along the way. One such job was helping run Indian restaurants in Brussels.
It was here that Sylwia was first exposed to Bollywood tunes during her shifts; it was here that Indian music was subconsciously seared into her brain.
Sylwia Malachowska and I(Rahul Venkit) after an acoustic Bollywood gig in Brussels.
Fast forward to May 2016 at a neighbourhood gig, she meets an Indian journalist and amateur musician -- yours truly -- who was on the look-out for a lead instrumentalist for a Bollywood band in Brussels called Confluence Allstars.
A few jams in, it was clear that a brilliant, soul-stirring sound blending the violin and acoustic guitar was taking shape. The new core of the band was born.
"To me, playing Indian music is a chance to experience magic in seemingly ordinary circumstances. There is always something in the air when we play: soothing focus, palpable feelings, or the excitement and energy of Indian audiences that fuels me," Sylwia says.
After a year of doing gigs around Belgium, Sylwia and I finally got around to recording a track (thanks to the talented, young Belgian musician and sound engineer Pierre Gillet) to present to the world.
This instrumental medley of Lata Mangeshkar's Humko hami se chura lo and Arijit's Singh's Tum hi ho is testament to the global appeal of Indian music. An Indo-Polish musical collaboration in the capital of Europe reinterpreting old and new Bollywood.
After all, music is universal and blind to boundaries.
Enjoy this song, which we hope will keep you truly "Connected to India," no matter where in the world you are.

Latino Public Radio is invoking the provisions of a 2005 Rhode Island law in order to halt the sale of the station.
In a news release Tuesday night, Reynaldo Almonte, the CEO of Latino Public Radio, said the station is citing the Public Radio Conversions Act, a measure that aims to prevent the sale of a nonprofit public radio station to a private, commercial organization.
"We are disappointed with Rhode Island Public Radio's decision to end negotiations that would have enabled Latino Public Radio to continue broadcasting on 1290 AM for the foreseeable future," Almonte said. "We were prepared to enter a 10-year financing agreement with Rhode Island Public Radio to purchase 1290 AM.
Attempts to reach Rhode Island Public Radio for comment on Tuesday night were unsuccessful.
LPR, which provides information to Rhode Island's Spanish-speaking community, will continue to broadcast on the Internet, the release says, but "losing 1290 AM will severely hamper the station's ability to reach the community."
"As a nonprofit organization, raising money has been a challenge for the station due in part to the economic realities faced by many in the community it serves. LPR counted on RIPR as a faithful partner with the shared mission to serve the public with information free from commercial advertising and corporate influence," the release says.
It continues: "Almonte firmly believes that good faith discussions between LPR and RIPR would result in a mutually beneficial agreement to keep the station on the air and satisfy its financial needs through a reasonably negotiated financing plan."

If you want to stand out in your industry or marketplace there is no better place to start than with a bespoke logo design. At °Crisp Design we tackle every brief with the same energy and passion. No matter what your business or challenge we will listen to what makes your business or service different. Using this information will help really target the design to appeal to your intended audience.
For example, when we started out looking at a rebrand for Crisp Design back in 2012 – we wanted a fresh new look for the business. A design that would appeal to businesses large and small, who appreciate clean design that communicates a vision. The logo design needed to reflect the crisp edge brought to every design brief, yet be approachable to reflect the way we work. For bespoke logo design, a lot can be said for finding just the right type style to set the right tone. We searched and searched for the right font but it didn't exist. So when we found a type style that was almost there we set about reshaping it to match the needs of our brief.
We apply this technique to many logo design challenges for our clients. Here are some bespoke logo designs which take standard typography and make it unique and memorable.
Silicon Alley: The N was softened at the edge to mirror the Y and the A was adapted to contain a mouse cursor.
Strategise: The E was customised to convey different levels of investment strategy available via the service.
SL Complete: The L was angled to fit with the lozenge and the C and O were combined to look like an infinity symbol.
Antigua Fam 365: The G and U were combined to make the logo more fluid and better connected.

CNBC's 'The Profit' Introduces the Pot Industry to Newcomers
PHOTO courtesy CNBC
While the CNBC show might seem basic to cannabis enthusiasts, it is an important step for marijuana in mainstream media.
Kristen Gwynne
In August, CNBC's investment-meets-travel-journalism show "The Profit" hopped on the cannabusiness bandwagon with an episode called "Marijuana Millions." While host Marcus Lemonis promises "to take you on a journey and show you where the profit is in pot," he is so unfamiliar with the topic that he ultimately delivers little more than the uninspiring opportunity to watch a straight-laced guy in dad jeans check out his first dispensary. A journey it is not, but while it may be a little rudimentary for Cannabis Now readers, the episode serves a reminder that, for some folks, understanding the appeal of the cannabis industry requires a particular approach.
To begin, Lemonis repeatedly reminds viewers than he is not into weed, stigmatizing the product sold in the industry he has set out to hype. He separates himself from the cannabis culture ad-nausea, informing viewers that he's not only never smoked weed — but he's also never even seen it. "Marijuana isn't my thing," he explains, "I've never even considered investing."
So, what brought him on this journey to the profit in pot?
"The market here could reach $6 billion dollars," he says, "and that's impossible to ignore." The overtly simplistic portrayal of the potential for profit fails to consider the many barriers companies face to industry access. However, while the episode misses opportunities for more inspired narratives, it may appeal to some skeptical viewers who are fans of Lemonis and interested in investment opportunities.
Early in this episode of "The Profit," for example, Lemonis visits a bankruptcy-plagued California town using industrial cannabis grows to generate much-needed revenue. Taxation from legal pot is not exactly news, and Lemonis' quote — "A once-dying town is dying no more, thanks to recreational pot"— is cliché. He leaves the nuances of taxation largely unexplored, but for those naïve to the benefits of cannabis legalization, the clip is a clear-cut example of the economic advantages of legal pot.
The economic angle is reiterated by Greta Carter, a Republican in Desert Hot Springs, California who hopes the feds don't get in the way of her plans to open a commercial grow. Noting the threat of federal prohibition, Carter says of her interest in the industry, "This is not me being a radical. This is having my eyes open." The public, she says, is ahead of politicians when it comes to pot.
While federal prohibition looms large throughout the episode, the show's plot is mostly restricted to Lemonis meeting with some cannabis entrepreneurs to assess their potential and offer his assistance. Given that his target audience may be the investment-hungry and stock-obsessed, Lemonis' goes to great lengths to depict the industry as shockingly professional. The resulting portrayals are niche and a bit bizarre, but they do convince viewers that the industry isn't always dressed in tapestries and black lights.
At luxury brand Canndescent, for example, viewers learn of the company's slimmed-down inventory of five strains groupings — Calm, Cruise, Create, Connect, and Charge — that are intended to professionalize the strain experience for customers.
"Call us the Courvoisier of cannabis, Hermes of cannabis," CEO Adrian Sedlin says. "We're going after that high-end adult use."
Lemonis calls the packaging "Whole Foods-esque" and notes that "yoga enthusiasts" might relate.
Similarly, at the high-tech and pricey dispensary Med Men, Lemonis' astute observations include, "I loved the design" and "there were iPads everywhere."
The branding drama reaches a peak, however, at the "start-up" edibles company Treat Yourself, run by BFFs Cindy Pinzon and Leone Posod. Lemonis is reviewing the packaging — "I love the vegan, gluten-free, soy-free, refined sugar-free" — when he sees a "problem" on the other wide of the label. Lemonis narrates aghast, "Great for menstrual cramps, relaxation, and inflammation." Then, he asks Posod and Pinzon, "Why did you choose to alienate men from the product?"
Posod and Pinzon explain that they want their product to be "female-friendly," but Lemonis isn't hearing it. "Female female-friendly or totally female-directed?" he counters, insisting that the "vernacular" suggests, "If you are a man, put it down."
It is telling that what may be Lemonis' most profound reflection came by way of this debate, when the host remarked, "By the way, every product in the world should be female-friendly since more than half of the people that buy things are females." And with that, Lemonis hit the floor of his show's depth.
"The Profit" is not exactly riveting television, but for people who have never smoked or seen weed, it may offer a different perception of an industry with which they are unfamiliar.

ANSI to Undertake Standards Needs Assessment for Electric Drive Vehicles
On behalf of Battelle Energy Alliance, operator of the U.S. Department of Energy's (DOE) Idaho National Laboratory (INL), the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) will be convening a standards needs assessment workshop and producing a report that will consider the codes and standards needed to facilitate the successful introduction, and wide-spread acceptance and deployment of light-, medium-, and heavy-duty onroad electric drive vehicles (EDVs). These are vehicles that must be connected to the electric grid for recharging of their propulsion energy storage systems, which in most cases will be batteries.
The initiative supports DOE's Vehicle Technologies Program and INL's management of DOE's Advanced Vehicle Testing Activity (AVTA), which promotes testing and deployment of advanced transportation technologies. The scope of the project will include identification of U.S. domestic and international codes and standards already published or in development, determination of gaps, and recommendations on the need for additional standards.
Commenting on the effort, Jim Francfort, AVTA technical representative at INL, explained, "Many diverse government, industry, and other stakeholder organizations are working to define and implement EDV charging codes and standards, and a comprehensive cross-sector coordination effort is needed to facilitate the timely development, promulgation and use of EDV codes and standards."
The workshop will be held in the spring of 2011. Additional details will be announced on ANSI Online later this year. Those with an interest in this subject and who wish to make a contribution are encouraged to share information regarding relevant work. Please contact James McCabe, ANSI senior director of consumer relations and IDSP (jmccabe@ansi.org; 212-642-8921).

I believe, that if/when someone builds a city/town, they have a right to set the laws of that town that may or may not contradict or negate the server rules... thus there could be a town where griefing is allowed. There could be other towns where PVP is illegal. And I believe that within these towns jailtime is a suitable punishment for breaking the laws.

Q: What is the difference between npm start and serve s build? I know two way to deploy server is npm start and serve s build
So what different between npm start and serve s build to start server in react js?

A: These are all custom script, you can find the definition in package.json file. Normally start is for starting the development build, build is for making the production build.
Ex.

  "scripts": {
    "start": "react-scripts start",
    "lint": "eslint ./src",
    "lint:fix": "eslint ./src --fix",
    "test": "react-scripts test",
    "test:coverage": "react-scripts test --coverage --watchAll=false",
    "build": "rollup -c",

» Best Riva Arena Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals & Sales 2022
Best Riva Arena Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals & Sales 2022
Best Riva Arena Black Friday and Cyber Monday Deals & Sales 2022:
The Arena, launched at € 269, inaugurates Riva's arrival in the world of multiroom alongside its big sister Festival. This small sedentary speaker relies on its wide connection possibilities and on its sound performance. Let's find out if it has a say in the face of competition that is already well established in the market.
1. RIVA ARENA Smart Speaker Compact Wireless for Multi-Room music streaming and voice control works with Google Assistant (Black)
2. RIVA FESTIVAL Smart Speaker Mid-Size Wireless for Multi-Room music streaming and voice control works with Google Assistant (Black)
3. RIVA TURBO X RTX01B (Non-charging only works with power cord!!) Premium Wireless Bluetooth Speaker (Black) (Renewed)
The Arena follows in the footsteps of its nomadic ancestors in terms of conception and design. Like the Riva S and the Turbo X, this speaker has a massive chassis and is protected by a large aluminum grille, as well as two plastic blocks. It benefits from a sober and careful manufacturing. Without being exceptional, the quality of the finishes is very correct. Even if we would have liked a different finish for the plastic because it is sensitive to fingerprints. The set is robust, there is no apparent defect, and this is the most important.
The Riva Arena rests on two large rubber pads which ensure a good hold and with its significant weight (1.53 kg to be exact), it is not likely to move once placed on a piece of furniture. The speaker also incorporates a removable rubber block to place in front of the connectors to protect it. It can thus resist splashing water. Basically, the Riva Arena does not pretend to be used nomadic mode, since it requires a connection to the sector thanks to the cable provided to operate. However, a portable battery, to hang under the speaker, is available as an option (€ 109 when launched) to be able to transport it in the garden, for example.
The Riva Arena offers many control possibilities, directly integrated into the enclosure. On the upper front, there are a total of 5 buttons to manage music playback, listening volume, navigate between tracks, choose the listening source and start pairing wirelessly. All buttons are responsive and a small key makes it easier to find those dedicated to volume.
As for wired connections, the Arena has a 3.5 mm mini-jack input and a USB A port for recharging mobile devices and playing files on a USB key. Unfortunately, no RJ45 port is present. Wi-Fi (DLNA, AirPlay, Spotify Connect, Chromecast) and Bluetooth are also available for wireless. Small interesting subtlety, the speaker has a switch to switch from Home mode to Away mode. The latter allows, when activated, to create an ad hoc Wi-Fi network for the multiroom when the home network is not accessible.
The speaker configuration is done in a jiffy. Contrary to what one might have thought at first, the speaker does not use the proprietary application to be installed on the network. The configuration of the Arena can be done either with the Google Home app or with AirPlay. In both cases, the procedure is both clear and quick.
The handling of the speaker itself is not as intuitive. We advise you to consult the user manual carefully to quickly familiarize yourself with the control possibilities (in particular dual-use buttons) and the information transmitted by the central led indicator. Apart from the absence of indication when the minimum or maximum volume is reached, we did not find any particular problem of use or any bug during our test period.
Riva's sound ecosystem is based on Chromecast and the Google Home app (Android and iOS). All the basic options that we have the right to expect for the management of a multiroom system are there: see and configure each enclosure of the ecosystem, organize them, rename them, make groups, see reading sources and manage listening volumes. The navigation is fluid and the configuration is stable. We did not encounter any bug or break during our test period. On the other hand, we expected more on certain points.
First of all, it is not possible to manage the individual level of each speaker in a group on Google Home: the volumes of the different speakers in the group are linked. For example, let's say you're playing the same music everywhere for a party. But want to turn down the volume in a particular room to make conversation easier.
Here it is not possible. To do this, you must set the volume of the speaker in question, either manually via the button on the speaker, or via the Riva Wand application. Note also that if you want to increase the volume of all the speakers after manually changing the volume of one or more of them, you will keep the differences in listening level. To find the same level on all speakers in the group, the volume must first be lowered to 0 and then increased to the desired threshold. We have known more intuitive, especially when it requires juggling between applications …
In addition, the Google Home app does not allow the possibility of directly configuring stereophonic pairs, even with two copies of the same model. There is a parade with the Riva, but you have to go through the dedicated Riva. Wand application and go to the settings of each speaker. In the "Audio output" section, you must then select "Left" for the left speaker, then select "Right" for the right speaker. Even if the option has the merit of existing, let's face it, the operation is still tedious.
To continue on the Riva Wand application, it is only used to view the connected speakers and offer some small possibilities for sound control and personalization. In the advanced menus, you can therefore access a simple parametric two-band EQ (bass and treble), a power "boost", at choice of the stereo broadcast channel and information about each speaker. The application also allows you to choose between certain sources (mini-jack, Bluetooth, internal files on the smartphone, files on the server and on the connected USB key) and offers a browser for certain sources such as the USB key or media servers. On the other hand, if you have a lot of files, the navigation will not be of much use because no search tool is available.
As for compatible services via Google Home and Chromecast, nothing to complain about. There are many services such as Spotify, Deezer, Qobuz, Google Play Music, Soundcloud, Tidal. TuneIn, the application of certain radios (France Inter. NRJ…) and even YouTube – you can find the list on the page dedicated to the. Chromecast Audio from the Google Store .
The Riva Arena has three passive speaker / radiator pairs, located on the front, left and right sides respectively. These three channels are powered by an amplifier with a total power of 50 W. The speaker offers a stereophonic rendering, and it is not only by the design that it resembles its counterparts, since it offers an experience sound quite similar to what we have known previously. His approach is not very delicate, but the sound rendering is both musical and coherent, while remaining precise over a large part of the audible spectrum. It is nevertheless necessary to limit the listening volume in order to maintain good listening quality. Note also that the sound is the same in wired connection and in Bluetooth.
The Arena offers relatively deep, punchy and diffuse bass. There is a slight preference at the low midrange around 200. Hz, which flatters the warmth and roundness of certain sources (bass, male voices, acoustic guitar, some percussion …). The feeling of proximity to voices is also enhanced. The latter are also perfectly intelligible and well separated, both by the frequency response, by the precision in this area, and also by the way the speaker diffuses the stereo signal. Indeed, the speakers located on the front face act as a central channel, while the left / right information is broadcast by the left / right sides of the speaker.
The warm side is also due to the more marked decline in the high mid / treble zone. Despite this decline, there is still an incisive trend initiated by a small peak of distortion in the treble. It boosts the harmonics of certain sources in a way that is not always very pleasant (we can hear it on claps, on the attack of a pick on a folk guitar, on the distortion of an electric guitar, on certain percussions like shakers or the hi-hat of the drums, for example). The use of EQ does not reverse this trend.
As we mentioned above, it is still necessary to limit the listening volume in order to maintain good sound rendering. Indeed, as soon as one exceeds two thirds of the maximum volume, the general precision drops very frankly (the dynamics is found more crushed), one notes pumping effects in the low range and the phenomenon described in the treble intensifies. Below this threshold, the power developed by the. Arena will largely suffice for a bedroom, an office or a kitchen, for example. You can sound larger rooms very correctly if you decide to acquire two arenas, without having to reduce the quality of the playback.
On the side of the latency of communication in Bluetooth, the disappointment is there. Indeed, with more than 470 ms delay between sound and image, it is absolutely not possible to comfortably follow its video content, even with applications that compensate for the delay with this mode of communication (YouTube, Netflix, etc.).
STRONG POINTS
Warm and musical sound rendering.
Distortion contained over a very large part of the spectrum.
Beautiful sound diffusion.
Robust / splash resistant.
Various control and connection possibilities.
Specific Wi-Fi mode.
Small incisive aspect in the treble.
Speaker power not fully exploitable.
High communication latency in Bluetooth.
Multiroom management not always very intuitive.
Going through the instructions is essential to quickly master the enclosure.
The Arena is a compact multiroom speaker that offers a nice rendering and a good sound diffusion given its size. Its rich connectivity and numerous control possibilities will appeal to those looking for more than just a multiroom speaker. It is a pity, however, that the management of said multiroom is not more complete, more intuitive. That we cannot benefit from all the power reserve of the speaker.

Both the wirehaired (Rauhaar) and smooth haired (Glatthaar) coats on the Kromfohrlander are of medium length and as noted the wirehaired version sports quite a distinctive beard while the smooth hair variety tends to feature a longer coat overall. The wirehaired variety resembles its terrier roots, while the smooth haired variety is quite similar in appearance to a spaniel. This often leads to the assumption that they are two different breeds, when in fact they are two varieties of the same. Coat color standard for these dogs is brown, tan, or "buff" markings on a white background with a symmetrical blaze on the face.
These dogs are lively, good-natured and intelligent, but unlike some of the other breeds in the Terrier group, they actually have a very low drive for hunting. They are however, adaptable to many situations and are said to be "people dogs" who rarely stray far from their owner. They can be initially hesitant around strangers and children, but once more familiar will be a friend for life.

Dunkaroos superfans to receive a surprise, pre-summer treat
Editor's note: As of the afternoon of April 30, all 5,000 Dunkaroos packs were given away. Dunkaroos will be available at participating 7-Eleven stores in late May and will be rolling out across the U.S., and to other convenience stores and grocery retailers, in July.
Back in February, we confirmed Dunkaroos were making a sweet summer comeback.

Ebola Response in the U.S. and Beyond
Journal reports outline the weak points in the current global response structure, and what institutional changes are required to prevent future outbreaks.

Two reports on the response to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa underscore the limitations of the United States and other countries in reacting quickly and effectively to such a crisis—and the game plan required to do a better job of containing the disease in the wake of the next outbreak.
In one analysis published in The Lancet journal, an independent panel convened by the Harvard Global Health Institute and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine offered a harsh critique of the global response to the 2013 epidemic that led to 11,000 deaths, recommending 10 major reforms to prevent future outbreaks.
The epidemic "exposed deep inadequacies in the national and international institutions responsible for protecting the public from the far-reaching human, social, economic, and political consequences of infectious disease outbreaks," the authors noted. Not only was it costly, but also it revealed the inability of national health systems to respond effectively, inciting panic around the globe.
One of the report's authors, Ashish K. Jha, MD, MPH, director of the Harvard Global Health Institute and a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, opined that the World Health Organization's (WHO) delay in sounding the alarm about this epidemic signified a key error in this response effort.
"People at WHO were aware that there was an Ebola outbreak that was getting out of control by spring...and yet, it took until August to declare a public health emergency. The cost of the delay was enormous," said Jha in a statement.
After a thorough review of the world's response to the Ebola outbreak, the panel came up with a "roadmap" to beef up global efforts on preventing future outbreaks. To accomplish this, the panel in its first recommendation advised that the global community "must agree on a clear strategy to ensure that governments invest domestically in building such capacities and mobilise adequate external support to supplement efforts in poorer countries."
For such a plan to work, it needs a transparent central system to track and monitor these resources, not to mention a commitment from all national governments to do regular assessments of their own capacity to handle an outbreak.
Several measures involve creating new entities at WHO, such as a dedicated center with strong technical capacity that would assume accountability for outbreak response, and a standing committee responsible for declaring public health emergencies.
In addition to strengthening governance and financial capacities at WHO, the panel recommended creating an independent United Nations (UN) commission to assess global responses to disease outbreaks, a global fund to foster research and development of medications, vaccines, diagnostics, and other supplies, and a global health committee of the UN's Security Council, to raise political awareness of health issues.
Zeroing in on American soil, another study published in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology discussed the holes that still exist in the U.S. healthcare structure to respond capably to a future Ebola outbreak.
The 2014 epidemic in America involved three cases, including the death of one patient and the sickening of two healthcare workers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) responded by creating a national network consisting of 55 sites to treat Ebola, including nine regional centers located in major metropolitan areas.
In surveying the capacities of these centers, researchers determined that overall, they have expanded the nation's abilities to respond to an outbreak. Overall, the U.S. has the resources to respond in the event another crisis of this type arises.
Yet, limitations remain in a number of key areas. As an example, it's unknown if the U.S. has adequate capacity to treat pediatric patients, given that no children with Ebola have ever been treated in this country. Another concern is staff capacity, since volunteers do much of the work at Ebola centers.
There's also the cost and capacity issues associated with adequate waste disposal, as an Ebola epidemic generates a large amount of infectious byproducts.
"The costs associated with the installation of proper onsite waste disposal equipment, including incinerators, is approximately $100,000 and only 11 institutions reported having this capability; the remaining centers must transport the waste for disposal offsite and would have to spend millions of dollars to do so, while also increasing the risk of exposure of the pathogen to staff during the packaging and transportation process," according to a statement from SHEA.
To further strengthen U.S. capacity for handling an outbreak, just about all of the CDC-created centers surveyed in SHEA's study offered to participate in a national network for highly infectious disease.


As a retailer, your prime concern is attracting people into your store and then keeping them there. It doesn't matter if you have great products for sale at outstanding prices, if your customers walk out seconds after entering your store then the effort has been a waste of time.
