See These 3 Yogis Open Their Monthly Gift Box!
There's nothing more exciting than knowing you have a delivery waiting on your doorstep at the end of a long day, especially when that box is filled with amazing yoga clothes. YogaClub's monthly gift boxes, stocked with hand-curated yoga apparel and accessories, are the perfect treat to look forward to every month. But what's actually in a YogaClub yoga box? Here, you can see three subscribers performing their "unboxing" and sharing what they received.
Sarah Rocksdale makes a variety of lifestyle videos from fashion to health and fitness. This video showed a little bit of both, as she opens up her monthly YogaClub box!
The first thing out of her box was a beautiful pair of Teeki yoga pants made from recycled plastic water bottles (we know, it's amazing that material so comfortable could also help save the planet). She loved the bright, colorful pattern, and we can't help but agree. They certainly looked stylish! Next out of the box was a super cute workout bra, which she said she desperately needed because she didn't have enough work out bras. They certainly are an essential part of any yoga outfit! Last up was a very trendy long sleeve top, which would definitely look good on any morning run.
Sarah also gave a little shout out to our online style quiz that lets you enter your preferences to ensure you get an outfit that suits your unique style! Our stylists work hard to ensure you get the top yoga brands available and that you look good wearing them. Of course she couldn't help but mention that she got everything in the box for 60% less than retail price! That's some serious savings!
Kathryn Morgan is a former soloist with the New York City Ballet, who offers videos on ballet, beauty, and lifestyle on her amazing YouTube channel. If anyone knows a thing or two about quality activewear it's her!
Plus, in this video, Kathryn gave a little glimpse at our style quiz that tells us all about your style, so that your hand-curated box is perfect for you!
Kassandra from "Yoga with Kassandra" has tried her fair share of monthly gift boxes, but none of them proved to be high enough quality for this avid yogi. In this video, however, she raved about her experience with YogaClub. One of the things about the boxes she highlighted is that she enjoyed receiving clothing from brands that she already knows and trusts, like Teeki and Manduka.
Kassandra also loved how YogaClub allows you to customize your box to match your style and the great price point of the monthly gift box. The first item that she showcased was a pair of blue yoga pants by Free People, and she was impressed with the quality. The next item was a Free People long-sleeved black top. It suited her tastes and was breathable, making it perfect for yoga. The last item was a Manduka tank top, and she was excited to discover that the brand produces more than just yoga accessories.
You can see that Kassandra was quite pleased with her box. The brands were high-quality, since YogaClub works hard to include brands whose apparel features stylish designs and hold up during a yoga practice. Kassandra shared that the monthly gift box is a great value and also discussed how impressed she was with YogaClub's customer service!
Viewing these unboxings will give you a true sense of what goes into these monthly gift boxes. What amazing items will be in your hand-curated YogaClub box? The only way to find out is to subscribe!

Now is the best time to consider the idea of living a simplified life.
Decluttering your home is without a doubt a tedious, but also necessary task.
The things you've been collecting over the years will, eventually, take up all the free space in your home. When that moment comes, you will have no other option but to start organizing and cleaning all rooms of your property. This could take days, depending on the amount of stuff you have. There is no need, however, to make things harder for you. In order to avoid the complications, you can just take care of the clutter earlier.
The truth is that all of us buy all kinds of things that we don't really need and then we wonder where to put them. It is not necessary to wait until your closet runs out of space to realize that you have to do something about the clutter in your home. The sooner you take measures, the better.
The best way to cope with clutter is to use your imagination. Performing a major cleaning from time to time is a good way to take care of the good looks of your property, but it is possible to miss some things. In order to declutter your home for real and keep it that way, you will have to be more creative. For instance, you can take pictures of the different rooms and collect the items that don't seem to fit in.
One of the hardest things is deciding which things to keep and which ones to throw out. In order to make things easier, you can just ask yourself questions like "Would I buy this now?" and "What can I use this for?". Removing one item each day will also make the whole decluttering of your place easier. Before you know it, your home will be organized and all unnecessary things will be gone. Keep in mind, however, that this strategy may require years.
This is a fun and fast way to free your property from all of the extra stuff. What you need is a timer and a couple of hours. Whether you want to declutter your home for one day or organize a challenge each day of the week for the different premises of your home, it is entirely up to you. The rule is, however, that you can't spend more than 20 minutes in a room. Once you set the timer, you have to try to collect all unnecessary things as fast as possible.
Speed is the key to the prompt decluttering of your place. By being fast and organized, you will be able to cover more areas of your property and finish with the tedious task of cleaning the whole house in no time. Make sure that you don't get distracted by memories or stories related to the specific items, otherwise you will lose precious time. All that matters is whether you need this object now.
Making a list of all areas you need to declutter is another excellent strategy. You can start with the easiest ones, like the drawers in your bedroom or the cabinets in the kitchen. How you organize your time is entirely up to you. It is best, however, to take care of one area and then stop for the day. This way you'll have enough energy to do the same thing tomorrow.
Unfortunately, there is no way you can avoid the decluttering and cleaning of your property, so we advise you to get to work as soon as possible. With the previously mentioned strategies you will finish with this unpleasant task before you know it.
Take advantage of these useful tips and ideas and let us know which one worked best for you!
Thank you so much Patricia! Decluttering tips are always useful for us busy Mompreneurs!

TE Connectivity spearheads industry collaboration to establish new connectivity standard for IIoT
The new standard easily integrates with existing Ethernet infrastructures to provide real-time data.
TE Connectivity (TE), a world leader in connectivity and sensors, recently led the establishment of a new Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) standard that enables companies to simply and cost-effectively connect devices on the network edge to make data-driven decisions in real-time. The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 63171-7 standard creates broad industry consensus on a power-and-data hybrid format that easily integrates machines into a network and improves power distribution.
"Manufacturers often struggle to realize the advantages of IIoT because their networks can't communicate from the cloud all the way down to an individual sensor on a machine," said Eric Leijtens, global product management and managing director for TE. "This is why the new '-7' standard is so critical. It helps us overcome that gap in data at the network edge by creating an industry-standard approach for connecting to physical assets in a production environment."
As a founding member of the SPE Industrial Partner Network, TE led an industry consortium in recommending that M12 hybrid interfaces be specified under the new IEC 63171-7 standard. The standard now has the support of multiple trade groups and more than 80 companies. As one of the most common connector sizes in field-level applications, the M12 format easily connects to existing Ethernet infrastructure, replacing traditional fieldbus and analog solutions. With SPE implemented at the device level, manufacturers can realize transparent, IP-based communication replacing the current solutions that are expensive or have reduced transparency. The hybrid configuration in "-7" cables also provides increased flexibility to distribute power across the network, instead of the point-to-point connections required in power-over-data lines.
Long-term support. Standardizing on the M12 format enables manufacturers to work with multiple suppliers, providing for competitive pricing and a decreased risk of production downtime.
Reduced complexity and cost. SPE only requires one cable to deliver power and data through a single pair of wires, instead of two or four pairs, reducing cabling size and cost.
Increased data rate and power supply/ranges. The "-7" cable will enable power transmission up to 11kW/16A and high-speed data transmission up to 1Gbps/600MHz in one cable. It is excellent for high-power applications like DC servo drives, small three-phase drives, and many others.
Reduced electromagnetic interference (EMI). Separate data and power contacts reduce EMI.
TE Connectivity is a global industrial technology leader creating a safer, sustainable, productive, and connected future. Our broad range of connectivity and sensor solutions, proven in the harshest environments, enable advancements in transportation, industrial applications, medical technology, energy, data communications, and the home. With more than 85,000 employees, including over 8,000 engineers, working alongside customers in approximately 140 countries, TE ensures that EVERY CONNECTION COUNTS.

In Ella's Element: What's In My Bag?
Hello lovely readers, I love finding out what is in other people's bags. I just love being nosey and finding out what people carry around with them on a day to day basis. Then I realised that I have been writing In Ella's Element for over a year and I have never done a "what's in my bag post". So today that is just what I am going to do, so let's get to it.
Firstly this is my go to bag, I have had it for a few years, it was originally from H&M. I just love the satchel style of this bag, the bag is big enough to fit all my essentials but is still a fairly small bag. I also love how it's bright blue so when I'm wearing black (which is a lot) it adds a pop of colour to my outfit. So here is what is inside..
I have an iPhone 5S and I really like it and have no desire to get an upgrade any time soon (that and I couldn't afford it anyway). I absolutely love my Totoro phone case, it's so cute!!
One of my best friends bought me this purse for Christmas years ago and I love it and can't bring myself to replace it even though the zip is completely broken.
I carry around my ancient iPod so that I can be a rude, anti-social mare and ignore everyone and everything.
In case I get any blog ideas or any other thoughts or ideas when I'm out.
I mentioned this spray in a favourites post once I just love having a little bottle to spritz myself with.
I guess what's inside my bag is pretty standard to be honest but I hoped you enjoyed reading this post and finding out what I carry around with me anyway.
What is in your bag? What are your daily essentials?
I'm the same I just being nosey and seeing what people carry around with them. I'm glad you liked the post gorgeous, I wish I carried around Bobby pins my fringe always annoys me by the end of the day, I need to pop some in my bag ASAP!
That totoro phone case is really cool! I know my best friend would love that.

Q: Having Textmate warn me when writing to a file that was modified since Textmate last read it Scenario:
I open a file, I edit it. After I began editing, the file is modified by another program. Finally, I save the file.
In that case, Vim would provide that helpful warning:

WARNING: The file has been changed since reading it
Do you really want to write to it (y/n)?

But Textmate will overwrite the file silently, which can result in unpleasant data loss (in my case, a de facto revert on Git). How can I prevent that?

A: Simple fix: change focus to another application before clicking save, if you expect this behavior to happen often on a particular file. If you change focus and come back, TextMate will detect the change.
Not sure why you have programs modifying files while you're working on them, but...there you have it.


How can I reset my Windows 8 Administrator Password without using a 3rd party utility?
If you have forgotten your administrator password or any local account password on your machine, follow these quick steps to regain access to your machine. This process also works for Vista and Windows 7.
The only thing required is a CD/DVD/USB of your Windows Vista/7/8 ISO.
In the command prompt is where the 'magic' happens. Basically we are going to temporarily replace a system file (Sethc.exe – Set high contrast), with CMD.exe. We can invoke Sethc.exe by pressing the shift key 5 times, where this would normally activate the "Sticky key" confirmation dialogue box – you now get a command prompt with full admin access to your entire machine !
That's it, now just reboot your machine.
Dude, this's awesome, earned a fan.


that contains all of the input strings and sub-strings.
efficient solutions to solving this problem.
n different input strings and their n factorial such orderings.
So in this lecture we'll see an alternative that's actually much faster.
Its called greedy shortest common superstring.
reduces the length of the eventual superstring the most.
we are to the shortest common superstring.
does not necessarily mean that we'll get to an optimal solution.
So let's start with this overlap graph here.
suffix prefix matches between pairs of reads.
The length of the suffix prefix match.
is that we're going to proceed in rounds.
the longest remaining overlap in the graph.
we're going to pick the edge that has the greatest number as it's label.
And then we're going to merge the nodes on either side of that edge.
between the strings, the shorter the final string will be.
So that's what we mean by greedy algorithm in this case.
trying to get to the shortest superstring.
So let's see this principle in action.
well, in this case, there's a tie, right?
which is the maximal overlap length in this case.
So when this happens we just pick one of the edges at random.
So let's say that we pick this edge here, highlight it in red.
So now we're going to merge the nodes on either side of this edge.
We're going to merge AAA and AAB.
the two labels of the original nodes glued together according to the overlap.
that's the label that we'll put in the new node.
So this merge, there, we just did it.
So this merge has made the graph a little bit simpler, a little bit smaller.
and actually we might remove several edges when we merge two nodes.
So now what do we do next?
We do the same thing again.
So again we're going to pick the edge with maximal overlap length.
Again there's a tie, so we're going to pick one at random.
and then again we'll merge these two nodes.
So we'll merge ABB and BBB to get ABBB.
So here's our new graph.
And we'll do it again, so now let's pick another node with maximal overlap.
Or, sorry, edge with maximal overlap.
So the answer is sitting right in front of us.
Once we've done all that merging, there's just one node left.
concatenating the labels of those nodes together.
lecture and in the practical.
For that algorithm we had to try every possible ordering of the input strings.
But for this one, the amount of work we do is greatly reduced.
much more quickly than our original algorithm that tried all orderings.
the cost is that the greedy algorithm doesn't always find the correct answer.
it's not necessarily the shortest common superstring.
common superstring algorithm returns a superstring but not the shortest one.
then drawing the overlap graph, we'll visualize what happens in this way.
So we'll simply write out the labels of all the nodes on a line like you see here.
in the previous overlap graph.
And then for each round of the algorithm we'll write a new line.
the merging that happened in the previous step.
is the result of having merged these two nodes from the previous step.
And the nodes that get merged I'm always going to highlight in red.
the algorithm, we get to this answer that you see down here.
This is the result of the greedy shortest common superstring algorithm in this case.
There were ties along the way.
nodes we could glue together, in terms of which overlaps had the greatest weight.
it's a little bit different from the way we broke the ties before.
And as a result, we actually ended up with a different superstring.
here are two strings that have no overlap with each other.
There's no suffix, prefix match between these two strings.
zero edges left at the end of the repeated merging of nodes.
So we concatenated them together to get the final superstring.
So is this the shortest common superstring?
It turns out that no it's not, right.
than the one that we obtained when we ran the algorithm this time.
running the greedy shortest common superstring algorithm.
necessarily return the shortest common superstring.
It might return a super string that's longer.
which will bring us to the third law of assembly.

Connecticut Innovations (CI) and the Connecticut Department of Economic and Community Development (DECD) are seeking creative ideas to improve and strengthen the state's effort to build a vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Connecticut. The organizations have issued a Request for Proposals to help Connecticut further engage in innovation. The RFP is open to individuals, large and small companies, non-profits and consortia—from within and outside the state—with a proven record of success and creative ideas to develop the infrastructure and community necessary to support entrepreneurs. The state will invest up to $5 million over the next year in this initiative, called CTNEXT.
CTNEXT, a public-private partnership, has already established great momentum. To date, it has helped fund 11 entities and engaged dozens more to enhance local networks of support for entrepreneurs and connect those networks strategically statewide. And excitement and activity in the entrepreneurial community has reached new heights. In the past eight months alone, over 5,000 people attended more than 150 entrepreneurial community events, and several new co-working spaces were established or expanded.
Still, CI and DECD recognize that there are great ideas that they haven't heard about which could strengthen the state's culture of innovation while supporting a platform for addressing today's toughest challenges.
"Connecticut is rich with innovative individuals, researchers, inventors, entrepreneurs, companies, investors and the organizations that support them. We are looking for ways to help this talented population be part of a world-class entrepreneurial community," said Claire Leonardi, CEO of CI.
"If you have ideas, experience and the commitment to develop the infrastructure and community to support entrepreneurs, we want to hear from you," said Catherine Smith, Commissioner of Economic and Community Development.
For more information or to submit a proposal, visit build.CTNext.com.
Since its creation last spring, the Department of Economic and Community Development has been pleasantly overwhelmed by the enthusiastic response to their Small Business Express program. The program, outlined on the department's website, provides expedited loans (in amounts between $10,000 and $250,000) and grants (up to $100,000) to Connecticut businesses who maintain fewer than 100 employees and are seeking to grow.
The abundance of applications, anticipated in the original legislation, necessitated a variety of criteria upon which the DECD will give priority to one aspirant organization over another. The program's charter called for prevenience to go to companies creating new jobs and/or operating under a few "economic base industries," such as "precision manufacturing, business services, green and sustainable technology, bioscience, and information technology sectors," according to the program's website.
The program's change demonstrates cognizance of the state's strength in fields such as advanced manufacturing, bioscience, IT, and more, as well as Connecticut's growing role as an exporter of goods. Last year, $16,000,000,000 worth of goods left the state for foreign markets. Connecticut is currently tenth in the nation in exports per capita, according to the Governor, and is looking to climb the ranks even higher.
An official release can be read on the Governor's website, and companies looking to apply for the Small Business Express programs can do so online, in person, or by mail.
In May, [Bob Blundon, president of Madison Earth Care] replaced his landscaping company's gas-powered weed trimmers and blowers with electric ones. He had the 327-watt solar panels installed atop the work trailer, and he bought a propane, zero-turn mower.
"We're trying to put together a green trailer," he said. "Instead of going twice a week to the gas station, we are going once every two weeks."
A shift to renewable power, like Blundon's, has been increasingly common for homes and businesses across the state. But harnessing the sun for work tools, instead of a grid-connected building, is a rare application.
"Solar ticked all the boxes," Blundon said. "Lower maintenance costs, greater reliability, reduced energy bills, less downtime for broken equipment, it all adds up to savings."

Cheaper, purer illegal substances suggest global war on drugs is failing
Articles / By admin
Packages of cocaine seized by police in Spain last month
By Katie Hunt, for CNN
updated 2:15 AM EDT, Tue October 1, 2013
Hong Kong (CNN) — The global war on drugs is failing, new research suggests, as the price of heroin, cocaine and cannabis has fallen while their purity has increased.
Using seven sets of government drug surveillance data, a team of Canadian and U.S. researchers reviewed drug supply in the United States, Europe and Australia and drug production in regions such as Latin America, Afghanistan and Southeast Asia.
They found that illegal drugs have become cheaper while their potency has increased, indicating that efforts to control "the global illegal drug market through law enforcement are failing."
"During the past two decades, the supply of major illegal drugs has increased, as measured through a general decline in the prices and a general increase in the purity of illegal drugs in a variety of settings," said the study, which was published by BMJ Open, an open-access journal published by the British Medical Journal.
In the U.S., the average price of heroin, cocaine and cannabis decreased by at least 80% between 1990 and 2007, while average purity increased by 60%, 11% and 161% respectively.
Similar trends were seen in Europe over the same period, while in Australia the price of cocaine, heroin and cannabis fell by 14% to 49% between 2000 and 2010.
"These findings add to the growing body of evidence that the war on drugs has failed," said Dr Evan Wood, scientific chair of the International Centre for Science in Drug Policy and research chair in Inner City Medicine at the University of British Columbia in Canada.
"We should look to implement policies that place community health and safety at the forefront of our efforts, and consider drug use a public health rather than a criminal justice issue," added Wood, who was also one of the research team that produced the study.
Prices fell despite a general increase in seizures and a fall in production of some illegal substances, the study added.
READ: War on drugs a trilion-dollar failure
Seizures of cannabis by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration increased by 465% between 1990 and 2010, heroin seizures increased by 29%, but cocaine seizures fell by 49% over the same period.
The researchers did concede their source data had limitations, with price and purity patterns a marker of drug supply that does not capture other factors that determine the availability and use of drugs.
However, the report findings demonstrated "a general global pattern of falling drugs prices and increasing drug purity and potency, alongside a relative consistent pattern of increasing seizures of illegal drugs."
Campaign groups said the study showed that drug policies needed to be grounded in science, health and human rights rather than prohibition.
"The punitive prohibitionist approach to global drug control has proven remarkably costly, ineffective and counterproductive," said Ethan Nadelmann, director of the U.S.-based Drug Policy Alliance.
"It has generated extraordinary levels of violence, crime and corruption while failing to reduce the availability and use of psychoactive drugs."

Airtel 3G shut down in Kolkata, company to solely rely on 4G network for fast mobile Internet
Airtel has shut down its 3G services in Kolkata. The company will be using the 900MHz bandwidth to improve its 4G services.
4G is at its peak at the moment with all Indian operators offering it in some form or the other. Airtel, Vodafone and Jio are offering full-fledged services whereas BSNL is currently in the testing phase with its 4G services. As the world is readying for 5G, all telecom operators are now trying their best to win over customers with exciting plans and prices. Airtel has been among the best 4G operators in the country and now it's trying to improve its services with an unprecedented move.
Airtel is probably the first telecom operator in the world to phase out the 3G technology globally. The company has initiated this move by phasing out 3G services in Kolkata. The 900MHz spectrum that was used for offering services to 3G customers will now be used to enhance the services in 4G. Therefore, 4G subscribers could now get better services in the city.
This is in line with our stated strategy of focusing on serving quality customers with the best-in-class service experience. Going forward, we plan to re-farm all of our 3G spectrum across India and deploy it for 4G in a phased manner. Also, it complements the smartphone ecosystem, which has now gravitated overwhelmingly towards 4G only devices," said Randeep Sekhon, CTO - Bharti Airtel.
With the 900MHz now allocated for 4G services, Airtel subscribers in Kolkata should be able to see an improvement in 4G availability inside buildings -- homes, offices and malls. It will also result in a wider availability of Airtel 4G and better network experience in 4G services.
Despite phasing out 3G in Kolkata, Airtel will still retain in 2G network in the city. The 2G services will be retained for those who rely on feature phones.
While Kolkata is the first city to bid goodbye to the 3G network for Airtel, this strategy will be deployed for other circles as well. Airtel will be slowly phasing out the 3G network and use its 900MHz spectrum to improve 4G services in urban areas where there's a lot of network congestion.
With Airtel starting to phase out 3G, it will join the likes of Jio that solely relies on 4G LTE network. Airtel is still keeping its 2G network intact but Jio has been offering 4G LTE services for many years now.

Follow these tips to ensure your interviews net you the best employees.
When interviewing potential job candidates,one of the major errors many entrepreneurs make is that they don't know what they're looking for. Well dressed? Tall? Physically fit? These factors are easy to identify and clearly impact the outcome of an interview, but they're not indicators of success on the job.
So what can entrepreneurs do to help ensure they hire the right candidate for the job? The best answer is: know what you're looking for. If you don't know – the result? An inappropriate appointment.
Even before looking at your first résumé, you need to consider several factors. Firstly, identify the specific and measurable knowledge bases, skills and abilities the available job requires. Hopefully, you'll be able to find this information in the job description.
Ask for specific,action-oriented responses instead of vague abstractions. For instance, if you ask someone if she is successful or not, you'll probably get a "yes"or "no" reply that doesn't really provide any concrete details.However, if you also ask: "And could you give me an example of a particular project of yours that you completed successfully?", you then have a response that will provide you with concrete, insightful information.
3.Observe the applicant's non-verbal behaviour.
If the candidate sits rigidly without moving, if they don't make or keep eye contact with you, or if they are turned away from you, these are clues that this person is uptight and not interested or able to engage you in relationship building.
If the candidate is nervous, frequently changes position and gestures in a bothersome manner, then that person is probably just anxious or worried about something. What does the candidate's posture tell you? Is it slumped down or forward, looking lazy or tired? Rigid and nailed to the chair? Look for behaviours that express life, interest and enthusiasm without appearing too manic or too subdued.
4.Evaluate the applicant's verbal behaviour.
Is their tone of voice loud or soft, appropriate or inappropriate to the situation? How about the types of words they use? Are they simple, simplistic, or complex and complicated? What is the pace of their speech? Is it slow or too fast? As in all these examples, a medium level of verbal behaviours is usually most appropriate; other levels might help you screen out the competition.
5.Go with your gut feel.
Finally, after assessing these important factors during the interview, identify and assess the residual feelings you have in your head and in your gut. Do you have some gnawing feeling that something may not be "right" or "good"?
Were you impressed with what the candidate said or did? Whatever you experience during or after an interview, make certain you probe your reactions to uncover your true feelings. As a result, you'll be developing more confidence in your interview skills and discovering more concrete information to help you make an effective hiring decision.

AUS/NZ Trip Diary: Day 14
March 29, 2016 Uncategorizednstop
Day 14: Brisbane
I've set my alarm on the early side again. Yes, I want to get in some writing. But, more importantly, I need to call Hertz as soon as their Brisbane office opens at 8am. Because in my haste to ditch the rental car yesterday, I left my Go-Betweens live CD in the car stereo! And I need to get it back before the car gets rented again or shipped elsewhere.
So I make a half-awake phone call at 8am sharp and the person on the other end of the line asks for my rental car details when I explain what happened. After a short wait, the verdict: they have my CD! I'm given a lost property number and told I need to pick it up by 1pm, which is when they close. Such relief. Now I really need a coffee.
There isn't much of anything in the immediate vicinity of our Airbnb, so I decide to walk over to the other Brisbane neighborhood we'd researched with interesting stuff in it. It's not even 9am, but the temperature is already pretty warm, and the sun is out. I don both my hat and sunglasses but once more can't quite commit to the sunscreen. At least the walk, which takes me through the park and along an elevated walkway by the rail yards, is very pleasant and scenic. There are a lot of people out and about, including a good number of cyclists.
I find out one reason for the active street scene along my walk, as I pass a very long line of people waiting for something. As I get closer, I can see people clutching pieces of paper in their hands and signs of a political nature. Ah, people are waiting in line to vote.
I cut through the line and walk a couple of additional blocks until I see an ATM. (Boy, how cash does disappear fast when you're on vacation.) As I'm about to get out cash, I turn to see a sign above for a record store I hadn't found on my research. Will visit that later, when Mike is with me. No solo record shopping! Wouldn't be fair.
The coffee place with supposedly the best coffee in all of Brisbane is, as I find upon rolling up to their storefront, closed until 4pm. Huh. I pass a pretty good-looking Japanese coffee place, but I decide to go with my second choice a few blocks away. It's called Brew and is down an alley in a basement.
And it is blessedly air-conditioned (unlike our Airbnb room, grrr). So I get my flat white and a couple of poached eggs on toast and settle in to write, though not before texting Mike with my location and a warning about the heat/sun today.
After almost two hours (and another flat white) in the cafe, I'm a little restless and ready to do a little exploring. Mike texts me and I let him know I'm on the move.
Interestingly, while this area does have the best record store in Brisbane, it also happens to be the central business district. All around are malls and chain stores in amongst the independent businesses. So walking around is a bit of a different experience than the typical record-store-friendly boho neighborhood ramble.
In fact, I feel compelled to check out the mall nearest me. The ground floor has a big food court with a lot of actually pretty tasty-looking food being sold by various vendors. The large Chinese-Australian bakery has a very eye-catching displays of rolls and pastries.
Pastries at the quasi-Chinese bakery, Brisbane mall food court
Upstairs is a Target, which I visit for both the novelty as well as for resupply purposes (mini Kleenex and granola bars). Curiosity sated, I take the escalator back down to the ground floor Starbucks for an iced tea while I wait for Mike, who is on his way.
He arrives in short order and is hungry, so I give him the lowdown on food options based on what I've had and seen. We opt for the Japanese cafe, which also has an enormous display of flourless chocolate and other cakes in various flavors, sold by weight in 100g increments. Their coffee menu has some of the many common options in Australia, as well an odd note that medium drinks are for dine-in only.
Coffee menu at the Japanese cafe
Mike gets some smoked salmon breakfast dish while I get a coffee and we discuss our plans for the day. I mention both the random record store and a comic book shop I passed earlier as items to add to the agenda.
But wait — I remember my lost Go-Betweens CD, and Hertz is right around the corner from us now and will be closing in a little over an hour. So I walk over there to retrieve it while Mike starts in on his breakfast. The woman behind the counter who retrieves my CD looks at it curiously, so I mention it's a local Brisbane band. She says she doesn't know that much about music, but the band name sounds familiar and she'll ask her husband about them. He's very into music, as per the many iTunes charges that appear on their credit card statement every month, she shares. Okay then!
I get back to the cafe and we finish up, ready to head over to Rocking Horse Records. But somehow — I think via a discussion of laundry, and how desperately we need to do it, yet won't be able to for another two days — we end up at Target. Mike needs socks, stat.
Socks are procured, along with more underwear for the both of us (it's cheap, so why not?). And now we are finally ready for some record shopping, goddammit.
Rocking Horse Records is a big, lower-level shop in the style of Red Eye in Sydney, with lots of used vinyl and CDs as well as a decent selection of new releases. We take a brief stroll around some of the store and figure, yep, we'll be here awhile.
The Aussie and NZ LP section yields no real surprises, though I am happy to see two Go-Betweens records in front of the relevant bin card. It contains one of their worst records (the "Cut It Out" 12″) and one of their best (the Able Label comp of their first two singles). I am a wee bit tempted by the latter, as it's the Australian pressing, which I don't have. But it's priced at AUS$40, so I'm able (ha) to resist.
There's nothing we haven't already seen or bought in the new 7″es bin, but in with other LP new arrivals is a used copy of the first Day Ravies album, which I scoop up.
Wandering around the store perimeter, I notice glass display cases, many filled with toys and various music memorabilia and rarities. Then I spot it: a stack of old Go-Betweens singles on the top shelf of one of the cases. Could the clerk kindly unlock it so I can get my grubby hands all over them? Thank you!
I zero in on two records I don't have: Australian pressings of the "Bye Bye Pride" single in plain, record label sleeves, each with different b-sides. I'd ordered a copy of one of these from an Australian seller many years ago, only to have it arrive at my door snapped in half, the victim of poor packaging. These copies aren't especially cheap, but they are reasonably-priced, so I waver a moment before pulling them aside for myself.
Seeing my interest in this pile of singles, the clerk calls out to another behind the counter: we have more Go-Betweens records, don't we? And then another pile is magically produced, adding to those spread out on top of the display case. The "Your Turn, My Turn" single on Missing Link, the Australian pressing of "I Need Two Heads" in the exclusive picture sleeve, a copy of "Cattle and Cane" on the NZ Stunn label. All very nice indeed. And, given they are priced from AUS$60-100 each, all thankfully already in my collection.
We've been saving the next section of the store for last: the used 7″ singles, of which there are very, very many. All the rock singles are mixed together (no separate alt/indie section), across all eras, some with picture sleeves but many without. As our tastes are relatively narrow, browsing through this kind of broad selection can sometimes seem like a slog. 90 percent of the records without picture sleeves don't fall anywhere into our area of interest, so it's tempting to skip those altogether.
But Rocking Horse's selection had just enough good enough sprinkled throughout to keep us engaged and digging, digging, digging. There's a lot of American 90s indie rock, plus less underground British quasi-indie and alt stuff from the same era. Some records are cheap, others require a good think, but we pull a bunch of records out to make final decisions on later.
At this point, my lingering cough/cold decides to make a most unwelcome reappearance, in the form of a sudden itch in my throat. It causes my eyes to water and starts a coughing jag that sends me upstairs in search of a convenience store where I can get water and some cough drops.
I get both (the drops are butterscotch-menthol flavor, very odd) and return to the store, where Mike is waiting, looking at me with some concern. I'm sucking on a cough drop and feeling better, I say, so we pick up where we left off.
At the end of the long, long singles bin, on flipping our last 45, we do a high five and spread our records out on the adjacent counter to consider. I actually put a couple of nice-to-have-but-inessential things back. I'm getting pickier as we accumulate more and more records, especially after yesterday's slog. But at the end we both have small stacks of singles, none knockout finds but all pretty cool. Plus I have those Go-Betweens singles and the Day Ravies album.
Another nice chat with another friendly store clerk — having to get a signature with my funny American credit card is always a conversation-starter — and we're taking our purchases upstairs into the Brisbane sun once more.
At this point we're both hungry again, but clueless as to where to go. Our first choice turns out to no longer be in business, and the other spots we locate via Google or Foursquare are either low-rated or too far away. If only last night's street food stalls could reappear right here, right now.
A Japanese place looks pretty good, but it looks like they are setting up and according to the sign it doesn't open for another 15-20 minutes. So we kill some time by checking out the comic shop we passed earlier. It's a total mainstream/superhero-type place. Boring. We kill more time by walking over to John Mills Himself which, while not yet open, is in an interesting old building that now is. We learn about endangered koala habitats as our stomachs grumble.
Back to the Japanese place and… they are closed! Whaaat? Turns out I instead the sign and they close at 4pm, even though when we walked by earlier they had already closed.
Out of ideas, I mention seeing an outpost of Grill'd, a local burger chain not far from the mall that has zucchini fries and veggie burgers. Kit had eaten there in Sydney during Mike's comic shopping spree, and it didn't look bad. We drag our tired asses over there and place burger orders.
I have a perfectly decent hamburger, Mike has a veggie burger with the omnipresent beetroot, and we split an order of crispy zucchini fries. Not bad for fast food.
Now that we can continue walking the streets of Brisbane without passing out, I want to head back over to John Mills Himself (for the third time!) to get one of those fabled coffees. Back again, and they are open — hallelujah! But when I go to place my order I am told by the man behind the counter that they are not serving coffee right now, as is their custom on weekends. Only liquor. As he says this, he taps the side of an empty coffee grinder on the counter for emphasis.
Stupid Australian business hours! I seriously do not get it. I'm more than a little grumpy and now I want some coffee, any coffee, so we go back to the Japanese cafe and get a cup while Mike samples the flourless dark chocolate cake, of which I also partake. Coffee and chocolate. Better now.
Even with the caffeine-and-sugar infusion, we're feeling a little fried, but there is one last stop: the used record store whose sign I passed that morning. So we go check it out.
It turns out to be one of those places with an insane number of records — "more than a quarter million" the (presumed) owner tells us as we begin to browse — that is more a vanity collection than anything else. High prices for mostly run-of-the-mill stock that looks as if it's been sitting in those dusty bins for quite some time. No alternative or indie or punk music section, of course.
We do some cursory flipping and a walk around the store, but it becomes clear quickly there isn't any point in immersing ourselves here, even if we still had the energy. But I first have to wait for the owner to finish up his rant to the hapless customer at the register trying to escape with with purchase — something about kids today not wanting to spend all their free time scouring garage sales for records to resell on eBay and, why, it's the same as wasting your money buying a bottle of water! Because I checked my bag and need to retrieve it. The bag retrieval exchange gets us almost sucked into another similar exchange, this time about the high cost of housing, but we manage to escape without having our ears bent off.
The show tonight starts later than the one the prior night, which means we can get a little rest first. We'd texted our Airbnb host, Nick, before heading to the last record store, saying we'd be back in about an hour, and would he be there? Because he has the only key to his place.
He finally replies after we're done with the store, saying he is about to head out but he'll leave the key at the convenience store in his building complex, and we should pick it up from the clerk there. And since the convenience store will be closed later, when we go out we should leave the key for him hidden on the bottom shelf of a bookcase in the building's ground floor common area. Nick says he will let us in later after we get back from our show, which I say will be sometime around 1am. No worries!
That sorted (or so we think), we head back to the Airbnb and follow his instructions. The convenience store clerk, it is clear, is very familiar with this drill. As soon as I launch into an explanation of what we're there for, she, unfazed, reaches for a log book of sorts under the counter, and asks us to first sign before handing over the key. It's also becoming clear to me that this building complex sorta probably does not condone residents renting their rooms out, otherwise they'd give out more than one key to each resident.
Anyway, even though this seems overly-complicated, we finally have the key. I was hoping we could maybe have a nice, relaxing swim in the building's pool before going out again. But as we enter, I note that it is filled with children playing a spirited game of Marco Polo. So much for that idea.
Instead we flop on the bed and alternately zone out and do internetty things on our phones, all with the bedroom door wide open so we can catch some of that living room air conditioning.
Before long it's time to head out again, for the show at the Grand Central Hotel downtown, organized by Trainspotters. And what an amazing bill! Brisbane bands Blank Realm and Thigh Master, the latter of whose "Head of the Witch" single is so good, I had to mail order it from Australia last year even though it cost me over $12 (American). Plus Melbourne band Terry, featuring Al Montfort from Dick Diver, and also producers of one of the catchiest singles of 2015. And finally a local band called Cannon that we haven't yet heard.
And, yo, we're on the list. As soon as I found out about the gig, a few weeks before our trip, I messaged Trainspotters: will there be online ticket sales, and if so, when do they go on sale? Because I'll be visiting from Seattle and love those bands…
I got back a very nice message from organizer Pat offering to put me on the list. I even got a +1 when I asked. (So nice!) So even though we don't have to worry about getting there early enough to get a ticket… we do anyway. The Grand Central looks to be the pub portion of a cool old train station, with doors to other parts of the building that serve different functions.
After giving my name at the door ("oh, Pat mentioned you guys, from America?") we grab a couple of beers and find the two best seats, stools at a tall table right by the stage. Or, the "stage," really. It's just one end of the pub where everyone's gear has been set up, right on the floor. And there are not a lot of people here. At least not what I would expect for a bill like this. But The Clean's Vehicle is playing over the PA. And Thigh Master go on first! But I guess they're just another local band here.
But when they go on, at 9:30 sharp, I'm excited. I'm bouncing on my stool and grinning as they launch into "Age of Concern." And when the female guitarist's amp goes out midway through on "Head of the Witch," it doesn't even matter. The band keeps on playing through the song. Rock n' roll!
Thigh Master, kicking off Trainspotters night
Thigh Master, play faster!
After they're done with their set, we do the now-familiar accosting-of-random-band-member-for-merch. We tell the lead singer/guitarist: what an awesome set! And do you have anything for sale.
Sadly, no. But in talking to him I learn that I already have their entire recorded output to date, two singles. Chatting further, we learn that his name is Matthew and he also runs the label, Tenth Court, that put out his band's records and those of other Brisbane bands on our radar. He encourages me to contact him on Facebook about a label cassette comp. And when he learns we're from Seattle, he mentions the Australian band Wireheads (also on his label) who have been to Olympia, WA and recorded with Calvin from Beat Happening. We are enthusiastically encouraged to check them out, which we will most certainly do.
The between-band break music is now… Orange Juice! Specifically one of my favorite songs, "Falling and Laughing." I initiate an impromptu dance party of two, just me and Mike, in the middle of the pub with no one else around us, singing along with all my favorite lines. Happiness.
Next up: Cannon. As they start to play, there's a sudden rush of people to the stage. Before long, the first of a few different tall dudes stands right in front of me, but I roll with it, especially since one of them is so super-into their music, dancing and grooving in his own little universe.
Their music is high-energy, garage-y rock with a bit of post punk. The red-lipsticked singer brings the drama with a scarf he unwinds around his neck and uses as a prop to emphasize parts of his delivery. It gets even hotter and sweater in here, and I spill some of my beer on my dress as I attempt to wrest it from the condensation-soaked coaster to which it is stuck. Oops.

After another break filled with excellent PA music and more beers (for hydration purposes, naturally), it's time for Terry. Maybe because they're not local, it takes a few songs for the crowd to build up again. But we're off our stools by this point, standing as close to the makeshift stage as we can.
Al Montfort is in a white singlet and cowboy hat, the latter of which makes its way onto the heads of other band members during their set, crackling with jangly guitars and male-female vocals and a kind of loose energy that again sets us dancing. When they launch into "Talk About Terry" (their first single), there are whoops of recognition and more intense dancing. So, so good.
Talkin' bout Terry
Strum and drum
Then one last break before Blank Realm. We are not-so-subtly stalking Al, as earlier in their set I'd spotted what looked like 7″ singles propped up against the back wall behind the drummer. And he seemed to be handing over a couple of records to the fellow with whom he was talking now.
That fellow departs, and we see our opening. Great show! We'd love to get a copy of the new single, and do you have the previous one? Yes on both counts, so two singles for each of us. We mention seeing one of Al's other bands, Dick Diver, in Seattle last year and how great a show that was. He seems to remember, saying it was a cool venue, like a youth center (basically — The Vera Project). We also mention we were at Robert Forster's Melbourne gigs the previous week and caught his opening band, Lower Plenty. He seems surprised, so we tell him about our musical hopscotch tour and talk a bit more about all the great new bands in Australia right now.
It's partly the beer, but also being "the exotic American," I guess, that makes it easier to go up to bands and talk to them, after their sets. Plus everyone so far has been so friendly. And what better opportunity to learn about other cool music, get copies of records that are otherwise extremely difficult to get ahold of, and encourage these great bands to come tour the U.S. I make more than one offer to act as Seattle tour guide, should they ever make it to our neck of the woods.
Blank Realm are setting up now, so we make our goodbyes and maneuver ourselves to what we think will be the best possible spot. People have been jamming themselves in front of me where I figured there was no room. So by the time Blank Realm takes the stage, I find myself three feet from the bassist. If someone wants to get in front of me now, they'll have to essentially launch themself at the band.
And I'm so glad I plonked myself right in front of the stage, because Blank Realm are fan-fucking-tastic. Incredibly high energy garage pop, with a keytar player that won't quit. I didn't realize before that the singer is also the drummer — extra difficulty points for that, for sure. There is mad dancing, and I nearly get nicked by the bassist's head stock more than a few times. Hot? Is it hot? We don't care. They save "Palace of Love," from the new album, for last. It provides a fitting close, as we heard those guitar chords echo and keyboard lines swirl over and over… until it really is over.
Blank Realm
Mike is able to grab the singer/drummer's attention, but it turns out they have no merch. Darn. Again we mention we're from Seattle, he says they've played there before, and we say "we know, but we missed you that time!" so please come back. Please.
While waiting to talk to the dude from Blank Realm, I happened to overhear someone congratulate a familiar-looking fellow who was also by the front of the stage on his band's new album. Hmm. I tell Mike: "I think that's a member of The Goon Sax." But, of the two fellows in the band, which one? Probably not the one who's Robert Forster's son. He doesn't seem to look like Robert Forster. Not that it matters. Oh what the heck, I'll just go up and talk to him now.
So I walk right up to this guy and ask, "Are you in The Goon Sax?" To which I get a somewhat surprised "Yes." Then I tell him how much I like the new album and how Mike and I had listened to it on the drive up to Brisbane. "We're fans of yours from the U.S." Goon Sax guy thinks this is pretty cool, and asks us what brings us to Australia. Seeing bands! We're sorry to be missing his band's Trainspotters show in a couple of weeks. But we're about to leave Brisbane. In fact, we leave the next morning for Dunedin to see The Clean.
At this, slightly drunk Goon Sax guy gets very animated: "I love The Clean! That's going to be great. I've never even been to New Zealand." This last revelation surprises me for a moment until I realize that he — like the others in the band — are all still teenagers. But still we encourage him to visit NZ ("Wellington's great!"), before leaving with our obligatory entreaty to visit the states.
On the way out I do a quick Google Image Search. Okay, pretty sure that was James I was just talking to. James from The Goon Sax: nice talking to ya!
Brisbane has been great fun, and we're sad to leave after less than two full days. I recall the tongue-in-cheek graffiti I spotted in the ladies toilet at Brew earlier that morning:
Brisbane vs Melbourne: fite!
By now it's getting close to 1am, the time we'd let our Airbnb host know we'd be back. And we still have a short walk back. So we retrace our steps back through the park and over to his building, buzzing with happiness over the amazing show we got to experience. But our buzz it about to get killed, and hard.
I call up Nick's apartment number on the digital directory by the door and ring the bell.
And ring the bell.
There is no answer.
I send a text. I send another text. I send an Airbnb message. I start to panic.
Another resident approaches the front door and we follow him inside the lobby. Some progress. But we can't get anywhere in the elevator without the key fob, which unlocks access to floors in the building. So we go sit on a sofa as I realize I should place an actual phone call. So I do. Voicemail. More calls, more voicemail.
It's now 1:30? 1:40? And I feel we're running out of options. Maybe there is building management I can call. I walk over to the pool area and find a sign about pool usage posted by the management. It has an after-hours number listed. Bingo.
I call that number and am connected to a very exasperated sounding gentleman who has a hard time understanding the situation as I explain it. Can we get access to the floor our "friend" lives on? I'm asked if I know whether he rents or owns. Uh, no idea. Well, he can't help me. Sorry and bye.
Maybe Airbnb customer support? Mike suggests taking over repeat phone call duty to our host's number in the meantime. I waste time trying to find a valid Airbnb customer support number. The Australian one disconnects twice before I get a message saying there is no one on duty right now. And when I try the U.S. number, I get asked to first answer some survey questions that might have to do with a contest (???). Attempts to skip this garbage by dialing zero result in disconnection. Thanks, assholes.
It is almost 2am and all of our bags, including my passport, are now essentially being held hostage by this guy. I consider calling the police. I voice this thought aloud. Mike decides to go outside and ring his damn doorbell over and over for awhile, while I resume phoning his number.
Then Mike pokes his head inside to say: he heard a buzz in noise on his latest doorbell ring attempt. Signs of life! We stand and wait anxiously in the lobby for what seems like an eternity until the elevator opens and Nick ambles down the long corridor towards us. He didn't hear the bell/phone until just now, he says, with no apology. In fact, he seems somewhat put out at having obviously been awakened. We exchange few words.
A short, silent elevator ride later, we enter our room, shut the door, and try to relax. Our flight is in 6 hours and I'm not sure how well we'll even be able to sleep in the short time we have. We focus on doing all of our packing now so we can make a quick escape in the morning. What a nightmare.
But it's now over (unless our host intends to murder us in our sleep?), and it looks like we may be able to get to Dunedin after all. We set early alarms and try to let our exhaustion take over and carry us into sleep.

Illinois Republikaner
This German newspaper was organized and established in June of 1872, and the first copy was issued issued July 1st of the same year. It was published by a company composed of Russell Hinckley, Sebastian Fietsam, Charles Stephani, Edward Rutz, Col. Thomas, and other representative and leading Republicans of St. Clair county. Henry Huhn was elected President of the Board of Directors, and also was made business manager and editor. The paper was published until May, 1873, when Mr. Fietsam bought up the stock, and soon after published the Zeitung, and consolidated the Republikaner with it. In January, 1873, Mr. Huhn, the editor of the Republikaner, severed his connection with it, which had much to do with the hastening of its dissolution.

Project Ribbon Dancer is a combination craft project, party favor, and a really cool toy all swirled up into one!
3. The Indoor Birthday Special.
It's that loooooooooooong ribbon-on-a-stick toy. Wave at all around in the air, up and down, side to side, round and round, creating swirling designs and captivating patterns. And after seeing all the tricks TREVOR does with it, the children (and sometimes a surprising number of adults!) are absolutely delighted when they get to make one for themselves!
When TREVOR opens up his Big Red Ribbon Suitcase and sets up the Ribbon Dancer Factory, ooohs and aaahs go through the crowd as they catch sight of all the different colors, sizes, and types of ribbons to choose from. Some kids know which one they want right away, while others need to deliberate for a bit. One by one, as each child chooses their favorite ribbon, it's attached to the end of a bamboo handle, and a good length of ribbon is spooled out and snipped off.
And then the creativity begins: It's time to decorate your handle! Using lots of different colors and sizes of vinyl and paper tapes, the children create their own personal work of art. Some pick a few favorite colors. Others go for the many-different-stripes effect. Some put on so much tape that their handle doubles in thickness. A few are still at it until the very end with a special intricate design they made up all by themselves. And then there are those who quickly cover the entire handle in one color because they are so anxious to start playing with it!
And play with it, they shall! The children absolutely love using their very own Ribbon Dancer after they're done with the decorating! They picked the ribbon. They decorated the handle. And now they all get to play with them together! Many end up asking TREVOR how to do specific trick they saw him do. Others make up their own tricks. And yet others just improvise and ad lib all the way!
It's wonderful to simply watch them go at it. As someone once said, "A child's simple joy is a pleasure to behold." In their exuberance, the children don't realize that they are also practicing gross motor skills, upper body exercise, and hand-eye coordination at high speeds. All they know is that they liked watching TREVOR use it, they liked decorating it, and now they sure like playing with their new Ribbon Dancer!
And the FUN isn't over yet, because even after the event is through, they get to keep it and take their new Ribbon Dancer home for even more FUN later again and again!

Vanderbilt Health is for patients and visitors >

The National Endowment for the Arts (NEA) has designated the Program for Music, Mind and Society at Vanderbilt as a 2018 National Endowment for the Arts Research Lab for its focus on the arts, health and socio-emotional well-being in families of children with and without autism spectrum disorder.
Vanderbilt University Medical Center is one of only four entities in the country that received the designation, which comes with a $150,000 award. The NEA's designation is just the latest accolade for the program, which, though only in its third year, has gained more than $800,000 in new grants for research and national and international attention from NPR, the BBC and a visit last year from renowned opera singer Renée Fleming.
VUMC will conduct two studies, in partnership with the Treatment and Research Institute for Autism Spectrum Disorders, Nashville Symphony Orchestra, Nashville Opera, and Borderless Arts Tennessee, the state organization on the arts and disability.
"With the arts community in Nashville, it's really the perfect combination," said Reyna Gordon, PhD, assistant professor of Otolaryngology and director of the Music Cognition Lab in the Department of Otolaryngology. "There are so many people who are interested in this field and who also may have a connection to health care or education, including direct connections to Vanderbilt. These circumstances are bolstering our efforts with the community and indicate great potential for future growth."
The first of the two NEA studies is a randomized waitlist control trial to assess the social and emotional effects of music on children with autism and their parents. The lab also will conduct a national survey of music engagement by families of children with and without autism and other developmental disabilities.
In addition to the research, the lab will host quarterly Music Research Forums to promote the development and refinement of the lab studies and develop a Music Engagement Toolkit and online training modules to build capacity for arts organizations and musicians who work with children with developmental disabilities.
Miriam Lense, PhD, research instructor in Otolaryngology, is principal investigator of the NEA studies. Lense is recruiting toddlers, about 2 to 4 years of age, and their families to come weekly to a small-group music class that includes children with autism and those without.
"The program uses parent training, peer interaction and musical play to promote social engagement and positive behavior," Lense said. "Families build a musical toolbox of strategies to practice these skills and engage with their kids and with the other families while also having a lot of fun doing music together."
In addition, Lense has received a $474,000 grant from the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), to focus on infant-directed speech and singing — how children respond to the ways parents sing or talk to them.
In particular, the study will consider infants who are at a higher risk of developing autism because they have an older sibling with it.
Lense is recruiting 70 infants between 9 and 12 months of age. The children in the study will play games and watch movies of people singing and speaking, and researchers will track where they are looking.
"This is a way of looking for early signs or early social interaction patterns, and then we follow the children longitudinally so that we can track their development," Lense said.
Gordon's prior research illuminated the connection between rhythm and grammar — that a child's ability to distinguish musical rhythm is related to his or her capacity for understanding grammar. The connection opens up research possibilities to use music and rhythm to study children with language disorders.
The new grants grew from work funded in part by a Trans-Institutional Programs, or TIPs, grant through Vanderbilt University, which focuses specifically on interdisciplinary efforts. Additional resources were provided by the Department of Otolaryngology, Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and the Curb Center for Art, Enterprise and Public Policy. Gordon's TIPs work with Nancy Cox, PhD, director of the Vanderbilt Genetics Institute, has led Gordon to extend this work on rhythm and grammar to the genetics domain with a new $236,000 NIH K18 career development award, also from the NIDCD. Cox holds the Mary Phillips Edmonds Gray Chair and is a professor of Medicine.
The Program for Music, Mind and Society at Vanderbilt was created in 2015 with Vanderbilt TIPs funding, and encompasses five different schools or colleges at Vanderbilt — the School of Medicine, Peabody College, College of Arts and Science, School of Engineering and the Blair School of Music.
The Program serves as a centralized infrastructure for collaborations among researchers in the different schools who share a mission to advance knowledge on the biological underpinnings and societal implications of music.
Scientists know that music inspires people, changes their mood and affects their behavior. The program is allowing them to delve deeper into the science behind these observations, including behavioral studies and neuroimaging, bringing together multiple disciplines, including Psychology, Neuroscience, Medicine, Education and Music Performance. The program has created networking opportunities, educational initiatives, and new public outreach and community partnerships to facilitate these aims.
"These approaches where we're bridging the basic and translational science align very well with the new NIH Sound Health Initiative's call to expand knowledge of how music cognition involves brain circuitry that could be harnessed for health and wellness applications," Gordon said.
More information about the Sound Health Initiative can be found here and here.
"Music represents a fundamental way that humans connect and communicate," said Ron Eavey, MD, Guy M. Maness Professor and chair of Otolaryngology and director of the Vanderbilt Bill Wilkerson Center.
"We are fortunate to be able to study the neuroscience of how music influences us all. We are in the world's ideal environment — our exciting research academic center in the Music City. The NIH has noticed this connection, and at Vanderbilt we have accomplished much in a short time toward becoming a preeminent center to study music, communication and behavior."

College of Arts and Sciences recognizes donors and scholars
The UMKC College of Arts and Sciences celebrated their scholars and donors at a luncheon that acknowledged the generous donors' support of students' consistent hard work through the more than 200 scholarships awarded this year. Dean Wayne Vaught began the ceremony recognizing the college's accomplishments.
"Students from across our region, and across the country, choose the UMKC College of Arts and Sciences for an outstanding liberal arts education," Vaught said. "This past year we have had many milestones worth celebrating."
Vaught mentioned several of the college's successes this year including the opening of the new digital history lab in the department of history, which was established with a gift from the William T. Kemper Foundation. Attendees applauded the success of the first graduates of the Propel Program, a comprehensive college experience for young adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Vaught highlighted, too, the continued growth of the Department of Communication Studies, including significant studio improvements.
"These accomplishments would not be possible without the efforts and talent of our faculty and students, nor would they be possible without the generosity of our donors," Vaught said.
Vaught introduced Chancellor C. Mauli Agrawal, who welcomed the students and commended them for their accomplishments.
"In many ways, acknowledging student success, expressing appreciation to generous donors and celebrating the interconnections among campus and community that are so vital is the best part of the job for me," Agrawal said.
Agrawal recognized that the relationship between a donor and scholar is significant.
"Our donors' gifts have enormous impact on the lives of deserving young people. Here they get to meet those grateful young people face to face," he said.
While Agrawal noted that he, his wife and his son and daughter are all engineers, they have a deep appreciation for the arts, humanities and other disciplines in the College of Arts and Sciences.
"I recognize how important the work of our arts and sciences faculty is, and how much impact our art and sciences alumni have on the community," he said. "I am truly grateful to our donors for all that you make possible."
Following lunch, Vaught invited the attendees to congratulate the student scholars on their scholarships.
"Donors, please take a moment to look around this room. See the smiling faces of our accomplished students, and see first-hand the difference your generosity makes. These young people represent the best that UMKC's College of Arts and Sciences has to offer."
Vaught acknowledged, too, the donors and their families.
"We are so very grateful to you for your generosity. Because of you lives are changed, skills are cultivated, and careers are launched. You are setting an example for philanthropy that today's students, I am confident, will remember and pay forward."
One of the scholarship recipients, Thalia Hernandez, a Bachelor of Arts candidate majoring in economics with a minor in Spanish, expressed her gratitude for scholarship donors.
"Many students are like me," Hernandez said. "They see college as a way out. But it comes with a hefty price tag – tuition, a lap top, books, transportation costs. I was working two jobs to stay in college. I thought I had it all worked out, but last summer I realized that I did not have enough to remain a full-time student."
Hernandez realized she was going to have give up her role as president of the UMKC Undergraduate Mock Trail organization — an experience she loved — and scale back to part-time status.
"A few weeks before school I received an email informing me that I had received two scholarships," Hernandez said. "I was overwhelmed by the idea that there were people willing to give up their hard-earned money to help other people succeed. I remembered that this is why I came to UMKC in the first place and I will give back.
College of Arts and Sciences alumnus, Bob Carpenter, the play-by-play announcer of the Washington Nationals baseball team, graduated in 1975 with a degree in radio, television and film. He recounted his career path from overnight disc jockey in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to AAA baseball announcer in Tulsa to a stint at ESPN.
"It was 42 years of baby steps," he said. "People took chances on me for reasons that I couldn't always see."
Carpenter advised students that success is available to them if they are willing to do three things.
"Go to class. Every day that you go to class you will learn something. Work hard. I took a lot of jobs that meant I missed the fun things my friends were doing, but I knew I would never achieve anything by just showing up. And give back. I had so many people believe in me and help me. I always try and help the people who reach out to me."
