3. Bill Callahan – "747"
from: Shepherd in a Sheepskin Vest / Drag City Records / June 14, 2019
[21st release as Bill Callahan or Smog. Bill Callahan (born June 3, 1966) is an American singer-songwriter and guitarist who has also recorded and performed under the band name Smog. Callahan began working in the lo-fi genre of underground rock, with home-made tape-albums recorded on four track tape recorders. Later he began releasing albums with the label Drag City, to which he remains signed today. Callahan started out as a highly experimental artist, using substandard instruments and recording equipment. His early songs often nearly lacked melodic structure and were clumsily played on poorly tuned guitars, resulting in the dissonant sounds on his self-released cassettes and debut album Sewn to the Sky. Much of his early output was instrumental, a stark contrast to the lyrical focus of his later work. Apparently, he used lo-fi techniques not primarily because of an aesthetic preference but because he didn't have any other possibility to make music. Once he signed a contract with Drag City, he started to use recording studios and a greater variety of instruments for his records. From 1993 to 2000, Callahan's recordings grew more and more "professional" sounding, with more instruments, and a higher sound quality. In this period he recorded two albums with the influential producer Jim O'Rourke and Tortoise's John McEntire, and collaborated with Neil Hagerty. Callahan also worked closely with his then-girlfriend Cynthia Dall in his early career, and they contributed vocals to each other's albums. After 2000's Dongs of Sevotion, Callahan began moving back to a slightly simpler instrumentation and recording style, while retaining the more consistent songwriting style he had developed over the years. This shift is apparent in albums such as Rain on Lens, Supper, and A River Ain't Too Much to Love. Smog's songs are often based on simple, repetitive structures, consisting of a simple chord progression repeated for the duration of the entire song. His singing is characterized by his baritone voice. Melodically and lyrically he tends to eschew the verse-chorus approach favoured by many contemporary songwriters, preferring instead a more free-form approach relying less on melodic and lyrical repetition. Themes in Callahan's lyrics include relationships, animals, relocation, nature, and more recently, politics. On the subject of voice in his albums, Callahan has said, "It's usually one character per record. So, the character appears in all or most of the songs on one record and then is gone. Though it makes me feel weird to talk about. Because I don't really think in clear terms of characters. My albums as a whole could be seen as one character with many voices."[4] His generally dispassionate delivery of lyrics and dark irony often obfuscate complex emotional and lyrical twists and turns. Critics have generally characterized his music as depressing and intensely introverted, with one critic describing it as "a peep-show view into an insular world of alienation." Cat Power (Chan Marshall) recorded Callahan's song "Bathysphere" on her 1996 album What Would the Community Think and also covered another Callahan song, "Red Apples", on her Covers Record, released in 2000. In 2007, Callahan released Woke on a Whaleheart, his first solo album released under his own name, Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle followed in April, 2009. Both recordings were released through Drag City, worldwide. In 2009, Callahan contributed cover songs on four separate tribute albums to Judee Sill, Kath Bloom, Chris Knox, and Merge Records. In 2010, he released his first live album Rough Travel for a Rare Thing, which was recorded in 2007 at The Toff in Melbourne, Australia. Apocalypse, was released in April 2011 to favorable reviews. Critic Sasha Frere-Jones called it "my favorite of Callahan's albums, not because it has better songs—those are scattered among at least five others — but because it does exactly what he wants it to do: it conveys an album's coherence." A tour film chronicling Callahan's 2011 Apocalypse tour was released in 2012.]

4. Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear – "Mother Mary"

Ruth Ward has continually performed throughout her life, mostly in coffee shops and open mics, for over 30 years, even recording a solo record. In the midst of this she got married and became a mom, and was busy raising a family. Madisen Ward was born in Oklahoma, and grew up in the outskirts of KCMO. He graduated from William Chrisman High School in 2007. Madisen's journey to become a musician, was "melodically passed down" through the songs of his mother, where Madisen grew up watching his mom perform at local coffee shops. Eventually he began to learn to play the guitar, and poured his talent for writing into the music to create original songs. They began playing Madisen's original songs along with the occassional cover of a classic track, reinterpreted in their own incredibly beautiful performace of two voices and two guitars in harmony and orchestration. Their debut album, The Skeleton Crew, was released May 9, 2015 and was our most played record that year and was #1 on WMM's The 115 Best Recordings of 2015.]

Jaclyn & Josh Bell live in Overland Park, Kansas. Jaclyn grew up in the Kansas City area. Josh is originally from Highlands, Texas.

Jaclyn released her first full-length album, "Wanna Be Mine" recorded here in Kansas City, Missouri at Dwelling Place Music with John Hendrickson.
Jaclyn started singing as a child in church and at 4-H competitions.
Jaclyn Bell played The Rino, 314 Armour Rd, North Kansas City, MO, last week on Friday, June 28 with The Dear Misses, Radiant Bones [NE], Thames [STL].
In an interview with Johnson County Library Jaclyn explained the she has "been working on (her new album, Wanna Be Mine) for about three years and I recorded here in Kansas City with some great local musicians and producers. The songs I would say I'm most proud of on the album are "Wanna Be Mine", "Killing All of You", and "Young and Free". "Wanna Be Mine" because it's one of my most melodic songs. It's really raw honesty when you put yourself out there in front of someone and tell them what you want."
She also talked about how she has "been a songwriter since I was about 17. But the past five years I've been really writing loads of songs and making it a career, [studying how] Taylor Swift [and] Ed Sheeran write and compose [their] music. Some of her earliest musical influences were Taylor Swift, Colbie Caillat, and Paramore."
"For my songwriting process it's a bit different. It's like I catch a writing bug I could go months without writing songs and then once I feel inspired, I could write seven songs in three days. With editing, each song is different. Some songs I write once and don't change anything about it. Others […] take four or five different editing sessions to get it perfect. Each song is a different art piece so doing it all the same doesn't really make sense to me. I think that each one deserves its own unique attention and style."
"2019 is the year that I put out my first album Wanna Be Mine and is officially the kickoff of my music journey and my career in making this what I do. I have a really good team and we have a bunch of stuff planned this year with a few media releases, a few singles that are already in the works, and obviously I'm still writing for my next album because the goal is to keep this going. We have some plans for getting my music out there for people to hear so I'm really excited!"

"As an artist, I do the same thing – I pick apart my favorite singers to discover what made them great so I can walk in their footsteps." With Kansas City becoming a place of movement for arts and entertainment, Mae C says now is the time to reinvent the wheel, break barriers, build bridges, but most of all support each other. "Supporting each other is the secret to rising to the top and putting the town on the map", says Mae C. She aspires to inspire other artists to capitalize in their craft by not putting themselves in a box. "I'm an African American woman, but I refuse to allow anyone to use that against me. I'm an artist & proud black girl and I deserve a chance at every opportunity just as anyone else," she said..] [Mae C. played The Riot Room, 4048 Broadway, KCMO, Saturday, February 23, at 8:00 PM. with Trxz Jones, They Call Me Sauce, JaySol Music, Guest DJ: DJ G3wizz, and Special Guest: Jo Blaq.

Jen Harris and Siobhan McLaughlin Lesley thanks for being with us on Wednesday MidDay Medley
Owen Cox Dance Group, Charlotte Street Foundation, and Gilda's Club Kansas City present Collective: Our Stories of Cancer.
In 2018, Gilda's Club Kansas City is hoping to raise awareness of the incidence of cancer in the local community and the positive benefits of education, support and self-advocacy. A new way of raising awareness has been brought to the fold through the multi-disciplinary production Collective: Our Stories of Cancer. Art connects people in a special and intimate way. Collective is a production that seeks to capitalize on that, celebrating those impacted by cancer, serving to unite those who have or are currently experiencing cancer, while embracing diversity and instilling hope.
The overview of Gilda's Club… created in honor of Gilda Radner
Gilda's Club is a community organization for people living with cancer, their families and friends. Local chapters provide meeting places where those living with cancer, their families, and friends can join with others to build emotional and social support as a supplement to medical care. Free of charge and nonprofit, Gilda's Club chapters offer support and networking groups, lectures, workshops and social events in a nonresidential, homelike setting. The club was named in tribute to an original Saturday Night Live cast member Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1989. In 2009, Gilda's Club merged with The Wellness Community to form the Cancer Support Community, although local branches generally opted to retain the name Gilda's Club.
Gilda's Club was founded by Joanna Bull, Radner's cancer psychotherapist along with Radner's widower, Gene Wilder (himself a cancer survivor) and broadcaster Joel Siegel (who died after a long battle with the disease). The first club opened in New York City in 1995, after a long fundraising campaign that included movie trailers featuring Wilder in theaters around the country. The organization took its former name from Radner's comment that cancer gave her "membership to an elite club I'd rather not belong to." Radner's story can be read in her book, It's Always Something.
In July 2009, Gilda's Club Worldwide merged with The Wellness Community, another established cancer support organization to create the Cancer Support Community (CSC). As of 2012, there were over 20 active local affiliates of Gilda's Club. Although some local affiliates of Gilda's Club and The Wellness Community have retained their names, many affiliates have adopted the name Cancer Support Community following the merger. The proposed name change caused controversy in some communities. The national organization introduced a web-based diagnostic "distress screening" tool which led the Pittsburgh Gilda's Club to change its name and sever its ties with the national organization because of a disagreement over requirements to offer the screening tool to all patients.
The performance will feature original choreography by Jennifer Owen, music by Stacy Busch, and poetry by Jen Harris, inspired by members of Gilda's Club who shared their stories of cancer.

A multi-instrumentalist, Stevens is known for his use of the banjo, but also plays guitar, piano, drums, xylophone, and several other instruments, often playing all of these on his albums through the use of multitrack recording.

19. Miguel – "Remember Me (Dúo) [feat. Natalia Lafourcade]"
from: Coco (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) / Walt Disney Records / November 10, 2017
[Coco is a 2017 American 3D computer-animated musical fantasy adventure film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Based on an original idea by Lee Unkrich, it is directed by Unkrich and co-directed by Adrian Molina. The story follows a 12-year-old boy named Miguel Rivera who is accidentally transported to the land of the dead, where he seeks the help of his deceased musician great-great-grandfather to return him to his family among the living. The concept of the film is based on the Mexican holiday of the Day of the Dead. The film was scripted by Molina and Matthew Aldrich from a story by Unkrich, Jason Katz, Aldrich and Molina. Pixar began developing the animation in 2016; Unkrich and some of the film's crew visited Mexico for inspiration. Composer Michael Giacchino, who had worked on prior Pixar animated features, composed the score. The film's voice cast stars Anthony Gonzalez, Gael García Bernal, Benjamin Bratt, Alanna Ubach, Renée Victor, Ana Ofelia Murguía, and Edward James Olmos. It is the first-ever film with a nine-figure budget to feature an all-Latino cast, with a cost of $175–200 million. Miguel Jontel Pimentel (born October 23, 1985) is an American singer, songwriter, actor and record producer. Raised in Los Angeles, he began creating music at age thirteen. After signing to Jive Records in 2007, Miguel released his debut studio album, All I Want Is You, in November 2010. Although it was underpromoted upon its release, the album became a sleeper hit and helped Miguel garner commercial standing. After Jive's dissolution in 2011, he moved to RCA Records and released his second studio album, Kaleidoscope Dream in 2012 to critical acclaim. On June 29, 2015, Miguel released his third studio album, Wildheart, which also received universal critical acclaim. Miguel incorporates R&B, funk, hip hop, rock and electronic styles into his music, and has been compared to vocalists Babyface and Prince. Miguel was born and raised in San Pedro, Los Angeles, California. He is one of two sons of a Mexican American father and an African American mother. María Natalia Lafourcade Silva was born February 26, 1984. She is a Mexican pop-rock singer and songwriter who since her debut in 2003 has been one of the most successful singers in the pop rock scene in Latin America. Her band's name is Natalia y La Forquetina. Lafourcade's voice has been categorized as a lyric soprano.]

Het Huonschiereiland is een groot, breed en bergachtig schiereiland in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea in de provincie Morobe waar Lae en Finschhafen de dichtstbijzijnde grote plaatsen zijn. Het ontleent zijn naam aan de Franse ontdekkingsreiziger Jean-Michel Huon de Kermadec. Het eiland wordt gedomineerd door de steile hellingen en de toppen van het Surawaged-, Finisterre- en Cromwellgebergte. Tussen 1884 en 1914 was dit deel van Nieuw-Guinea onderdeel van de Duitse kolonie Keizer Wilhelmsland.

Flora en fauna

Vegetatie
Het regenwoud dat dit afgelegen berggebied bedekt is het leefgebied voor diverse diersoorten die typisch zijn voor deze ecoregio's. Het regenwoud is montaan van karakter met bomen die kleiner zijn dan in het laaglandregenwoud en meer begroeiing van kruidachtige planten en struiken, onder andere de geslachten Pometia, Canarium (Burseraceae), Anisoptera (Dipterocarpaceae of plankwortelbomen), Cryptocarya (Laurierfamilie) en Terminalia (Combretaceae). In de hogere gebergtegordel staat dichter bos met nog kleinere bomen. Op de hoogst gelegen hellingen van het Cromwellmassief staan de best bewaard gebleven bossen van het zuidelijk halfrond met de conifeer Dacrydium.

Vogels en zoogdieren
Tot de bijzondere dieren behoren buideldieren zoals de matschieboomkangoeroe (Dendrolagus matschiei). De vogelfauna is uitzonderlijk rijk met endemen als de Huonhoningeter (Melipotes ater) en de paradijsvogel Huonastrapia (Astrapia rothschildi), verder nog meer soorten paradijsvogels, honingeters, prieelvogels en Australische vliegenvangers.

Beschermingsmaatregelen
Er vindt in het gebied houtkap en ontbossing plaats, maar het grootste deel van het schiereiland is nog ongerept.

Het hele schiereiland staat op de tentative list, dat wil zeggen dat het op 6 juni 2006 is aangemeld als gebied voor de Werelderfgoedlijst van de UNESCO.

Een gebied van 760 km² waarin de rivieren Yopno, Uruwa en Som (daarom het YUS-gebied genoemd) stromen is in 2009 al tot beschermd gebied verklaard.

In the end, my husband and I liked the idea of covering a bit of the wall with some panels or wainscoting to add a horizontal pattern and protect the wall a bit more. It would also cut the wall down into sections that could more easily be touched up when needed. With panels or wainscoting, the use of a more washable, semi-gloss paint would also be more acceptable.
A bathroom remodel is a big project. If you can only work weekends, your bathroom will be out of commission for two months or more. You'll need all your expertise as an experienced do-it-yourselfer because you'll have to tackle electrical, plumbing, tiling, drywalling, taping and even exterior siding. In this article, we'll deal mostly with the nuts and bolts of ripping out existing plumbing and replacing it correctly with new, easily installed PVC piping.

Een crème (Latijn: cremor) is een emulsie van water en vetstoffen. Een crème bestaat altijd uit een vet- en waterfase. Om beide fasen te emulgeren wordt er een emulgator zoals Tween 20 of sorbitaan aan de crème toegevoegd.

De aanwezige emulgator is bepalend voor het onderscheid tussen een hydrofiele (O/W-crème, olie-in-water emulsie) en hydrofobe crème (W/O-crème, water-in-olie emulsie).

Een halfvast huidpreparaat dat fysisch uit slechts een fase bestaat (bijvoorbeeld alleen vette bestanddelen) heet een zalf.

Toepassing
Crèmes worden gebruikt in de cosmetica en in de geneeskunde voor verschillende doeleinden.

In de cosmetica worden crèmes gebruikt om:
 de huid te reinigen
 de huid te beschermen tegen invloeden van buitenaf (bijvoorbeeld zonnebrandcrème)
 de huid er beter te doen uitzien
 de huid te koelen: de zogenaamde "cold creams" , er wordt een pseudo-emulgator (bijvoorbeeld walschot) aan de twee fasen toegevoegd, hierdoor zal de crème wanneer men deze op de huid aanbrengt uiteenvallen en een verkoelend effect geven omdat de waterfase verdampt.

In de geneeskunde wordt crème vooral gebruikt als medium om geneeskrachtige stoffen op de huid te laten inwerken, daarmee valt een crème onder de dermatica.

WEHI Director Professor Doug Hilton on scientific respect
The message below was written by Walter and Eliza Hall Institute (WEHI) director Professor Doug Hilton and shared with all WEHI staff and students. The message is reproduced here at the request of the Dean of the Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences, Professor Shitij Kapur, as a thoughtful and timely reminder to us all of the important role academic freedom and scientific respect play in the pursuit of scientific truth.
To all of my colleagues,
One of the things that I have loved about working at WEHI for nearly 35 years, whether as an undergraduate student in 1986, a PhD student from 1987 through to 1990, a postdoc from 1993 to 1996, a lab head from 1997 to 2005, a Division Head form 2005 to 2009 or as Director for the last 11 years, is that no matter my seniority or the position I have held, if I have mounted a cogent scientific argument I would be afforded respect.
What have these arguments been about? Sometimes they have been about what is the correct approach to tackle a question. Sometimes they have been around technical details of the correct controls. Sometimes they have been about the interpretation of a well-controlled experiment and what it means for a prevailing theory.
One of the arguments I have tried to avoid with other lab heads is about whether an experiment is interesting and the reason for this avoidance is a second that thing I love about WEHI: that we embrace all manner of scientific proclivities. Personally, I love a screen - a well-designed set of experiments that allows nature to tell you what's important. I find this type of research, literally breathtaking … and I mean literally. I remember hearing George Stark talk at MIT about somatic cell genetic screens to dissect interferon signal transduction and my chest actually tightened. Don Metcalf was not such a great fan of screens. He made some cogent, and sometimes impassioned, arguments about why targeted experiments aimed at testing very specific hypotheses were a better approach. Don and I disagreed about many aspects of science, but I deeply respected his view and his right to conduct research in his laboratory in the way that he thought would yield the most interesting results. One of the most empowering moments in my scientific life was the realisation that he reciprocated that feeling.
Every lab head appointed since mid 2009 was appointed by me. Every lab head appointed between 1996 and mid 2009 was appointed by Suzanne Cory. Every lab head between 1965 and 1996 (and there are still lots working actively today) was appointed by Gus Nossal. The reason we appointed these lab heads is that in our hearts and our minds we believed they would bring unique and productive approaches to the research areas on which WEHI focused. One of the attributes that I share with Gus and Suzanne is that we have been able set aside our own scientific preferences and take joy from the approaches of others.
I love Ruth Kluck's pursuit to understand the relationship between Bax and Bak structure and function - I could never work on this myself, but I love the fact she wants to tackle this. I love Gordon Smyth's drive to find better ways to glean insight from genomics data - there are so many reasons I could never do this myself - but I love the fact that this is what Gordon is passionate about. I love Kelly Rogers' focus on squeezing the very best out of microscopes and her willingness to use her skills to illuminate the research of others. I love the perspective that Jason Tye-Din brings to the study of coeliac disease as a clinician and his drive to make the life of his patients a little better each year. I love Phil Hodgkin's passion for a theory - it is not how I would run my lab - but again, that is the beauty of WEHI.
As director, I will defend the right of laboratory heads to tackle the problems they find most exciting, to follow their scientific curiosity and I will do my best to help provide resources to allow them to pursue those questions. I think it is because of this mantra that I have been so dismayed with the way Marc Pellegrini and Ian Wicks have been treated over the past few months, in response to their vision to coordinate a 'gold standard' randomised, double-blinded clinical trial to comprehensively answer the question of whether hydroxychloroquine is effective as pre-exposure prophylaxis for COVID-19. The trial focuses on frontline healthcare workers who we have seen in many countries around the world – and including right here in Melbourne – are at high risk of contracting COVID-19.
My dismay is deep and felt at different levels.
The first is that some scientists have conflated their personal view of the US President with his stance on scientific and medical issues. Let me say from the outset, that while I absolutely respect the right of the American people to elect anyone they like as President, I find Trump odious in so many ways. However, no matter how odious I find him, his view on anything scientific or medical is entirely irrelevant to me. If tomorrow, Donald Trump started espousing a belief in climate change and the importance of intervening decisively to turn around global warming, it would not matter one jot to me. I certainly wouldn't become a climate sceptic; rather, I would judge the matter on its scientific merits. The same is true of any scientific matter. What Donald Trump thinks is utterly irrelevant. I have been astounded how many people – many with medical or scientific training – have berated me for the fact WEHI is doing a trial on hydroxychloroquine. They have asked why WEHI is working on something that Donald Trump has promoted. If I have received this type of correspondence, I can't imagine the hate mail that the scientists running this trial have received. Could you imagine if Donald Trump came out in support of thoughtful bioinformatic analyses of genomic data, or the importance of a high-resolution understanding of Bax/Bak, or why a good theory of the immune system is important ... and there was a scientific backlash against WEHI researchers. I ask you to back-up Marc and Ian, as I hope you would any lab head at WEHI, and as I know I would any one of our lab heads, postdocs or students.
The second reason I have been dismayed is that many of the criticisms have been blind to the facts and, frankly, unscientific. Researchers who should know much better and who should read more deeply before weighing into debates have relied on a superficial reading of studies that anyone with a decent knowledge of the area could see were fatally flawed, or have conflated clinical trials to treat desperately ill patients with pre-exposure trials of the prophylactic effects of hydroxychloroquine on healthy healthcare workers that have been pre-screened to remove those with underlying cardiac issues. This is bad scientific discourse and fails one of the barometers of who should be afforded respect in a scientific debate: respect is afforded to those who engage in "cogent scientific argument". Lazy shots fired via the 280-character cannon of Twitter should not be afforded respect; nor should loaded questions asked under the recreant cloak of anonymity.
Ian Wicks and Marc Pellegrini are open to cogent scientific debate. Engage them in discussion in a respectful manner and I am certain they will reply in a respectful manner because they absolutely embody the things that I have come to love about WEHI.
Like many of us they have used their knowledge and expertise to propose an interesting hypothesis. As Director, I will defend their right to test this hypothesis and, as I do for all 90 or so of our laboratory heads, I will do my best to help them accrue the resources to test their ideas. As with all experiments we are open minded about the outcome. Maybe their clinical trial will add support to the notion that hydroxychloroquine is useful in preventing Sars-CoV-2 infection and subsequently COVID-19 and lead to another larger trial and perhaps save some lives; or, then again, maybe it might won't add support to this hypothesis; or, for technical reasons, like recruitment challenges, it might not provide evidence either way. Provided the trial is pursued with diligence, and carried out ethically and with integrity, I am comfortable with any of those outcomes.
Please look after each other in these challenging times and look after yourselves too.
