The pie charts on this page illustrate the success of Steve Karimi in the defense of DUI cases in King County and other western Washington courts between June 2004 and June 2007. Of the 164 DUI defense cases that he handled in this three year period, only four (usually with past criminal records) resulted in a conviction or guilty plea on the offense originally charged. To learn what his skill could mean for your DUI defense, contact the Law Offices of Steve Karimi in Seattle for a free consultation.
In the three-year period covered by these DUI case results, defense attorney Steve Karimi handled 85 cases where the original charge was drunk driving with a BAC below .15 percent. Only four of these cases resulted in convictions of that charge. Four cases resulted in dismissal or not guilty verdicts, and the vast majority of the others resulted in pleas to such lesser traffic offenses as Negligent Driving 1, Negligent Driving 2 or stipulations for deferred prosecution or continuance to dismissal. These lesser offenses do not involve mandatory license suspensions or jail as in DUI convictions. These results therefore should be regarded as defense victories.
These figures indicate that very few of Steve Karimi's DUI clients were convicted of the drunk driving offense originally charged over the three-year period ending in June 2007.
Seattle DUI defense lawyer Steve Karimi was also successful in the defense of more serious drunk driving charges - those involving a blood alcohol concentration of .15 or greater and test refusals. The fines, jail time, and license suspensions on a conviction of that charge are much more severe than the consequences that follow conviction of DUI with a lesser BAC or "no breath test result."
Of the 79 cases originally charged as DUI with BAC greater than .15 or test refusal that Steve Karimi handled between June 2004 and June 2007, not a single one resulted in a conviction as charged. Only 30 resulted in a DUI conviction with "no test." Many of the other cases ended up as a deferred prosecution, meaning that the defendant would face no criminal prosecution if he or she stayed out of further trouble and sought needed treatment.
This information should not be taken as a prediction of the result in your DUI case, but is merely a depiction of the results achieved on behalf of Steve Karimi's clients over a three-year period. Every DUI case is different, and your outcome will depend on many factors, including the reason why the officer stopped your car, prior criminal history, what the officer observed, and how the observations were documented, or the results of a field sobriety test, in addition to the results of your BAC breath test.
For additional information about his ability to protect your interests in any DUI case, contact the Law Offices of Steve Karimi in downtown Seattle.

"Flowers are the beautiful hairs of the Mother Spring! Don't pluck them!"
As Mothering Sunday approaches, sales of cut flowers in the UK rise dramatically. But before you carefully select a posy of pristine blooms, or grab a last minute bouquet from the garage forecourt, take a few moments to consider the hidden message lurking behind the cellophane & ribbons.
About 90% of flowers bought in the UK are imported from counties like Africa, South America & South East Asia. Workers, often women & children, are poorly paid & work in largely unregulated conditions where they are exposed to a toxic cocktail of herbicides, fungicides & pesticides. Less stringent legislation means that chemicals such as DDT, methyl bromide & dieldrin can be used, despite being banned in other countries. Pesticide related heath problems are prevalent amongst workers & their families.
The chemicals used in the cut flower industry also have a severe impact on the environment, damaging fragile ecosystems when they enter the soil & water. Birds, animals, insects & fish suffer illness, death & habitat destruction as a result, with a further knock on effect for humans who are then faced with dwindling supplies of fish & drinking water.
The exact history of Mother's Day is unclear but, whatever its origins, we are all sons & daughters of Earth, all dependent on her bounty & connected to each other by our interdependence. So choose a Mother's Day gift that honours & respects all life – wildflower seeds to encourage bees & other insects, teasel & sunflowers to provide autumn food for birds, traditional cottage garden plants such as calendula & lavender for use in home make cosmetics, or plant a small fruit tree or an organic herb garden.
Make your floral message an ethical & sustainable one.

Arfvedsonite () is a sodium amphibole mineral with composition: [Na][Na2][(Fe2+)4Fe3+][(OH)2|Si8O22].  It crystallizes in the monoclinic prismatic crystal system and typically occurs as greenish black to bluish grey fibrous to radiating or stellate prisms.

It is a rather rare mineral occurring in nepheline syenite intrusions and agpaitic (peralkaline) pegmatites and granites as the Golden Horn batholith in Okanogan County, Washington (type locality for zektzerite).  Occurrences include Mont Saint-Hilaire, Quebec, Canada; the Ilímaussaq complex  in Southern Greenland; and in pegmatites of the Kola Peninsula, Russia. Its mineral association includes nepheline, albite, aegirine, riebeckite, katophorite and quartz.

Arfvedsonite was discovered in 1823 and named for the Swedish chemist Johan August Arfwedson (1792–1841).

Today, no one questions the importance of thermal imaging surveys. The ability to 'see' with thermal imaging can reveal defects and anomalies, and can even save lives. The technological advancement in this field is astounding. What if the future of thermal imaging cameras was already here? Is it possible to carry out thermographic surveys using smartphones or drones? The potential applications would be virtually endless. Welcome to the world of the 'CAT S60 Smartphone' with an integrated thermal camera and to the reality of the 'Thermography Drone.' How is this thermal technology incorporated into a smartphone or into a drone?
'Seeing is believing' – the CAT S60 Smartphone with an integrated thermal camera must be seen to be believed. This pioneering mobile phone has an integrated thermal imaging camera – a world's first. This makes thermographic technology more accessible. Could you see yourself taking it to work and showing it off to your colleagues, checking for any electrical problems or seeing if there are any glitches in your equipment? Perhaps you can use it to identify how energy efficient your place of employment is – is there any heat loss from the doors and windows? It can also be used to see through smoke and could be incredibly useful for a wide range of professionals. The thermal images that it captures can be easily accessed and shared. These images are clear, but not as detailed as high resolution thermographic cameras. In addition, this ingenious smartphone is waterproof when submerged to a depth of up to 5 metres, allowing you to take photographs underwater.
It's amazing to think that drones have become commonplace. They have been put to many different uses, both commercially and for leisure purposes. More recently, however, they have been used along with drones, to great success. How easy is it to carry out traditional thermographic surveys on inaccessible buildings, electricity power cables, photovoltaic systems, and so on? Sometimes it is restrictive due to challenging locations. It's easy to see why this technology is extremely useful and growing in popularity. Today, you can obtain a complete thermography drone package, which consists of the drone itself, cameras, software, lenses, along with the necessary training. Or you could arrange for an experienced company to carry out the full thermographic inspection process for you.
What will be the next level of thermal imaging innovation? Only time will tell. But it's incredible to think that a smartphone with a thermal camera is already available. Equally impressive are the thermography drones, which can carry out a vast array of essential thermographic imaging. One thing is for sure – thermal imaging is here to stay. There are so many applications and uses of thermography and numerous businesses owe their productivity to it.
To find out more about thermal imaging technology, you can contact us on our website today. Why not fill out our online enquiry form? We look forward to hearing from you.

Sony Introduces 100mm F2.8 STF G Master™ with Highest Ever Quality Bokeh for an α Lens
Sony (left to right): FE 85mm F1.8, FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS, α7R II camera with HVL-F45RM Radio-Controlled Flash
The following video presents First Look: Sony FE 2.8/100mm STF, FE 1.8/85mm, and HVL-F45RM Flash:
"In this video, Mike Bubolo of Sony introduces two new FE lens for the Sony E-mount system, and a new radio controlled flash unit. The 100mm f/2.8 STF lens is the next entry in Sony's G Master line. It includes an apodization element to create the smoothest bokeh possible. Also featured is the new FE 85mm f/1.8 that includes a dual linear AF motor for fast, silent autofocusing. Lastly, Sony has introduced their new HVL-F45RM Flash that is smaller, and features a completely redesigned rear interface."
PRESS RELEASE • Feb 07, 2017
New Full-frame 85mm F1.8 Mid-telephoto prime lens and Compact Radio-Controlled Flash also announced
Sony today introduced two new lenses for their popular line of E-mount interchangeable lens cameras.
Sony's new lenses include one of their flagship G Master Series – an FE 100mm F2.8[i] STF GM OSS mid- telephoto prime lens (model SEL100F28GM) built to deliver breath taking bokeh with a unique STF™ (Smooth Trans Focus) design, and a new compact, lightweight FE 85mm F1.8 mid-telephoto prime lens (model SEL85F18) that is a welcome addition to the bag of any hobbyist or enthusiast photographer looking to create amazing portraits.
Sony also introduced a new powerful, compact flash (model HVL-F45RM) with radio-controlled wireless communication that is ideal for professional shooting with Sony's line-up of α7 full-frame cameras.
FE 100mm F2.8i STF GM OSS Telephoto Prime Lens
A specially designed mid-telephoto, full-frame prime lens, the new 100mm STF is built to produce truly unique, magnificent and beautiful bokeh while maintaining the exceptional standard of resolution that is showcased throughout Sony's entire line-up of flagship G Master series lenses, making it a powerful photographic tool for any portrait, fashion, nature or wedding photographer.
FE 100mm F2.8 STF GM OSS (SEL100F28GM) Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens
These impressive defocus capabilities are made possible by the lens' advanced optical structure, as it features a newly designed 11-bladed aperture and a unique optical apodization lens element. Similar to a neutral density filter that increases in density towards the edges, the apodization element creates beautiful transitions of in-focus to out-of-focus areas within an image, making for exceptionally soft, smooth bokeh that adds depth and dimensionality. This allows the subjects to stand out against beautifully defocused elements in both the foreground and background, producing an image that is naturally pleasing to the eye. The design of the lens also ensures that vignetting is kept to an absolute minimum, ensuring optimum image quality.
Additionally, the new 100mm lens supports both contrast AF and focal-plane phase detection AF[ii], and has a high-precision, quiet direct drive SSM (Super Sonic Motor) system that ensures exceptionally fast and accurate AF performance. The SEL100F28GM also offers up to 0.25x close-up capabilities with a built-in macro switching ring, built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilisation, a customisable focus hold button, AF/MF switch, aperture ring and is also dust and moisture resistant.[iii]
FE 85mm F1.8 Telephoto Prime Lens
The new SEL85F18 mid-telephoto prime lens offers an extremely versatile, lightweight and compact telephoto prime lens solution for a variety of Sony camera owners ranging from working professionals to emerging enthusiasts that have stepped up to an APS-C or full-frame camera for the first time. With its wide F1.8 aperture, it can produce impressive, exceptionally sharp portraits with soft background defocus that take advantage of its 85mm focal length and wide F1.8 maximum aperture.
Sony FE 85mm F1.8 (SEL85F18) Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens
The new prime lens features a 9-bladed circular aperture mechanism that ensures smooth, natural looking bokeh, and a double linear motor system to allow for fast, precise and quiet focusing. It also has a focus hold button that can be customised and assigned together with functions in the camera body like the popular Eye-AF feature. There is a smooth, responsive focus ring and AF/MF switch and the lens is also dust and moisture resistant.iii
Sony α7 II with FE 85mm F1.8 Mid-Telephoto Prime Lens
New Compact Radio-controlled Flash
Sony's new HVL-F45RM flash enhances the radio-controlled lighting system capabilities of their growing system, offering a compact professional shooting solution when combined with the currently available wireless remote controller FA-WRC1M and receiver FA-WRR1.
HVL-F45RM radio-controlled flash
The new flash, which is designed to complement the compact bodies of Sony's E-mount camera line-up including full-frame α7 models, produces a maximum lighting output as expansive as GN45[iv]. This ensures sufficient illumination even when shooting with bounce lighting or high-speed-sync (HSS) flash. The radio capabilities of the HVL-F45RM allow it to be used as a transmitter or a receiver at up to 30m (approx. 98 feet[v]), making it an ideal fit for creative lighting with multiple flashes. Additionally, unlike optical flash systems, radio-control flashes do not require a direct line-of-sight between components to function properly, while also minimising any impact that bright sunlight has on signal transmission and control.
The HVL-F45RM flash has an impressive battery life of up to 210 bursts, and can tilt up to 150° vertically, a complete 360o horizontally and up to 8o downward to maximise versatility. Usability has been maximised with a new large, bright and highly visible LCD display, an LED light, dust and moisture resistant design3 and a revamped menu system that mimics those of Sony's newest camera systems.
Sony α7R II with HVL-F45RM Radio-controlled Flash
The new lenses and flash will start shipping in March 2017. The SEL100F28GM will be priced at approximately £1700, the SEL85F18 will be priced at approximately £550 and the HVL-F45RM will be priced at approximately £420.

HPANWO TV: Sally Morgan- Skeptic Fail!
The scandalous false allegations made against the psychic Sally Morgan is the latest in a series of incompetent and destructive blunders by the Skeptic Movement. Are we seeing the fall of the House of Skeptic?
World War Z- More Real Zombies?


Schulich in my opinion weighs GMAT more, so I still think you should be okay. and thank you for the wishes, yes I am awaiting McGill.
I feel schulich gives holistic approach more importance. GMAT may be a factor but rest is equally important.
Is there any whatsapp group for Fall 2016 student?
Yeah, all schools take a holistic view of the profile. Agreed. It was more to motivate FatBoyFrmInD than to judge Schulich and now I realize I should probably have texted him separately.
I still think he has a good chance considering his GMAT is on the higher side of the range.
Yes, there is a WhatsApp group for fall 2016 students. Drop nb06 a note and he can add you to the group as he is one of the admins.
Thanks for response. My message was not to demoralise anyone. It was just to share my honest opinion.
I just had the interview with Mr. Kanga. He was very attentive. I hope to have some good news soon!
Finally, I got accepted at Schulich!
I received the e-mail on Thursday!
Any international applications still waiting for an interview invite? Or do we consider it a ding?
I sent them emails last week.
I got a mail from Schulich yesterday.
"Please note that we have received an incredibly high volume of applications and are in the process of reviewing files and setting up interviews with competitive applicants. If you haven't heard from us yet, please be patient; we will be connecting soon."
Hope this helps all of us who are waiting.
Any idea how Schulich is when it comes to consulting? I spoke to an alumni and she was like it's not for consulting! She was very rude in answering my other questions as well.
The Consulting Club at Schulich is very active. However, the recruitment at Schulich for Consulting is nothing to write home about.
That said, please also not that Canadian schools have not yet put up placement stats for the Co2015, after 10 months of graduation. Everyone is still stuck with 2014 stats. The prime reason is the major drop in placements across schools in Canada.
Please do your research and ask the schools for specific data, before parking the 89K CAD.
Not sure about other Canadian b-schools, but Desautels (McGill) has put up its stats for Class of 2015. Proportion of people finding a job after 6 months post graduation and class size (huge in case of Schulich and Rotman) are key factors. Doing extensive research is inevitable.
I had applied on 23 jan. No news yet. Anybody in round 2 who has recvd any intimation ?
Hi, I have a question for people who have received admits in round 1.
How many days after the interview did you hear back from the school?
2nd day after the interview.
Thanks harsitgandhi and VijayG6387 for your reply.
I did ask, after the interview; but I was told that they were completely overwhelmed with the number of applications this year and was not given a fixed date on the results. I had interviewed a week ago so i'll drop them a mail in a day or two.
Hi Guys! I just applied in time for the round 2 deadline...any clue as to what the turn around time is with regards to an interview revert?
Finally got an interview invite. International applicant here.
45 days and no news.
Application submitted on last day if round 1 (15th Jan). Got an interview call on 29th Feb (leap year has been lucky for me [FACE WITH STUCK-OUT TONGUE AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES].

Sadly two more in the car with Peter and Dymphna also lost their lives, Their daughter Tara's mother-in-law Mrs Barbara George and her mother-in-laws sister (Mrs. Stella Murphy) died in the car accident. The car was driven by Stella Murphy's Husband. He miracously survived this terrible tragedy. In keeping with tradition Peter was rendered full Naval Honours. All sections of the Defence Forces were represented. A Piper from the Irish Air Force led the cortege along the route to the grave. Lined up on each side was senior Officers, N.C.O's and Ratings from the Naval Service, Naval Service Reserve, Irish Army, Army Reserve, Irish Naval Association, and Organisation of National ex-service men and Women and many other organisations who were present to support Peter's and Dymphna's extended families. Senior Chief King's commanding officer Lt.Cdr.Vincent Smallhorne presented the family with a certificate of Senior Chief King's service which was 44 Years and 8 days. Tara's husband and some of his family came to Dublin to support his wife Tara and her three brothers Marcus (eldest son) and her other twin brothers Peter and Richard. It adds to all their grief that Tara and her husband accompanied by Peter and Dymphna's family returned to England to prepare for the burial of Tara's husband's Mother and Aunt. Their parish Priest in London came to Dublin to support Tara and her Husband and returned with them to London for the funerals over there. S.C.P.O King will be sadly missed by all who served and sailed with him over the 43 years as he strived to give his full committment to the Naval Service Reserve, while bulding a home, rearing his family and achieving a senior position in the educational sector as a senior lecturer.

The Prague Radio Symphony Orchestra is entering the 2018/2019 season with new artistic direction – Alexander Liebreich in the role of Chief Conductor and Artistic Director and Marek Šedivý in the position of Principal Guest Conductor.
The artist-in-residence of the coming season will be the winner of the Queen Elizabeth Competition in Brussels, pianist Lukáš Vondráček, whose performance of Dvořák's demanding Piano Concerto will be one of the highpoints of the season. The concert season programme provides space for a number of excellent conductors and soloists, with the PRSO-commissioned world premiere of a new composition by Jiří Kadeřábek also to sound here.
The flagship series remains "R – When Classical is Your Passion". It comprises twelve concerts in Rudolfinum's Dvořák Hall and the visiting soloists will include sopranos Simona Šaturová, Chen Reiss, Pavla Vykopalová and Melanie Diener, mezzo-soprano Jennifer Johnston, violinists Roman Patočka and Alina Pogostkina and oboe player Vilém Veverka.
A total of five concerts in this series will be conducted by the Chief Conductor Alexander Liebreich, among which is an evening with the subtitle "World Premiere – Written for PRSO" (4 February 2019 the premiere of Jiří Kadeřábek's composition will be performed) or the season's closing concert at which Chief Conductor Alexander Liebreich will meet with the artist-in-residence of the coming PRSO season, pianist Lukáš Vondráček (Brahms: Piano Concerto No 1 in D minor, 6 May 2019).
Alexander Liebreich has performed PRSO twice in the past. Their combined efforts have always been captivating and convincing. The first foreign conductor in the Czechoslovak history of the entity can truly inspire the musicians, directing and bringing them to a premium performance with concentration and purpose.
For the sake completeness we should add that Alexander Liebreich's first concert in the function of head conductor of PRSO will take place at the Dvořák's Prague International Music Festival with the unwritten subtitle "American Evening". Here the works of leading American composers of the 20th century will be heard – Bernstein and Barber – and alongside them the rarely performed cantata by Antonín Dvořák American Flag. The concert will be graced with the presence of Polish star pianist Krystian Zimerman (20 September 2018).
Another pianist, the aforementioned Lukáš Vondráček, will no doubt please us at another regular subscriber evening of PRSO with his performance of the exceptionally difficult Piano Concerto by Dvořák (12 November 2018, conductor Alvo Volmer). At the Rudolfinum we will also meet with conductors John Axelrod (gala opening concert 1 October 2018 with works by Bernstein and Mahler), Petr Altrichter (18 March 2019 in the compositions of Khachaturian and Tchaikovsky), twice with former Chief Conductor Ondrej Lenárd (the concert Vivat Republica! 29 October 2018 and 11 March 2019), and twice also with the Principal Guest Conductor Marek Šedivý from the 2018/2019 season: "What captivated me about PRSO and what I still enjoy is the amazing professionalism, alacrity and also sense of humour, which is highly important for me when working."
Marek Šedivý is also preparing two concerts at Studio 1 with the radio symphony players under the heading "S – PRSO Lives Here". This is the third year now of chamber music that PRSO performs as a smaller body and its members as excellent soloists. Playing this time at their "home field" are flautists Robert Heger, Dana Hegerová and Lenka Chmelová, violinists Vlastimil Kobrle and Petr Zdvihal, harpist Lydie Härtelová, trumpet players Marek Zvolánek and Jiří Houdek and trombonist Pavel Čermák. Also appearing at the conductor's stand will be Jiří Rožeň.
Rounding out the programme will be the cycle of special projects gathered under the series "N – New Horizons", which is particularly diverse and attractive this year. For the first such concert, Radůza presents her untraditional take on the exceptional story of Anita Garibaldi, wife of representative of the Italian Risorgimenta movement (3 December 2018, Forum Karlín, conductor Jan Kučera). The second concert will take us to the Rudolfinum, where a shortened concert version of Gershwin's opera Porgy & Bess will sound the best. Joining PRSO will be the Prague Philharmonic Choir, a quartet of excellent soloists and the best qualified British conductor, pianist and organist Wayne Marshall (16 February 2019). We also haven't forgotten about little listeners (or whole families), for whom the Fairytale Afternoon has been prepared with music from the films The Proud Princess, Month's Rulers and Kitty Mama, as well as Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf live, all under the baton of Jan Kučera.
Everything would appear to be attractively compiled, and we hope the reward will be the enthusiastic applause of the audiences, an appreciative reviews by experts, the interest of radio listeners – and perhaps even further expressions of support. A new thing this season is the establishing of a PRSO Patrons' Club. How is this project conceived?
"We offer future patrons four levels determined by the amount of the donation. These correspond to the resulting advantages of membership in the club. Another new thing is separate patron tickets, which we are selling for the exclusive first row in the balcony of the Rudolfinum's Dvořák Hall. I am also overjoyed by PRSO's first corporate partner, which is the company Expobank CZ a.s.," Jakub Čížek explained.
To close out, let us mention at least two extraordinary projects – a joint evening between Czech Radio and Radio and Television of Slovakia for the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Czechoslovak Republic. "PRSO - to the Nation" will play the works of composers Suchoň, Janáček and Dvořák on 28 October 2018 with conductor Radek Baborák.
Czech Radio has become the new general media partner of the Leoš Janáček International Music Festival and starting in 2019 PRSO will be its residential orchestra. The festival will begin 28 May 2019.
The sale of season tickets and individual tickets takes place in several waves. Starting 9 May resubscription will take place for existing season tickets holders and individual tickets for the N and S series will be sold along with tickets to the public rehearsals. Starting 14 May PRSO will launch the sale of season tickets for new season tickets holders. Individual tickets for the R series will be on sale starting Monday 21 May.
Aside from the partners for the whole season, Expobank CZ a.s. and Forum Karlín, and the media partners, which are Czech Radio Vltava (main media partner), vocational magazines Harmonie and Hudební rozhledy, music portal Opera Plus, Týdeník Rozhlas and the portal iRozhlas, PRSO has also received support for individual concerts. These partners include Ahmad Tea, Bohuslav Martinů Foundation, the portal Kam s dětmi and Radio Junior. The partner for transportation the instruments is the company Dachser Czech Republic a. s.

Draymond Green Throws Ultimate Shade at LeBron and Cavs Before Game 2
By Brad Sullivan
In the four years that the Cleveland Cavaliers and Golden State Warriors have met in the NBA Finals, Warriors forward Draymond Green has been an annoying thorn in the Cavaliers' side. Green is continuing that tradition in the buildup to Sunday night's Game 2 by taking a shot at the Game 1 fashion choice of the Cavs' LeBron James.
Looks like Draymond got the suit shorts memo. pic.twitter.com/ZSJQHyMasb
— ESPN (@espn) June 3, 2018
After James wore his shorts outfit, he endured some ribbing from media and those on social media. Green's opinions won't likely merit much of a response from James, who's more focused on trying to even the series at one game apiece, though the two players have some controversial Finals history between them. Two years ago, it was James' provocation of stepping over Green that led to a one-game suspension of the Warriors forward. That subsequently sparked the Cavaliers to three consecutive wins and their first-ever NBA title.
More recently, Green was in the center of another controversy at the end of Game 1, when his mocking of ejected Cavaliers center Tristan Thompson nearly sparked an on-court brawl. Thompson was fined for his actions, avoiding a suspension in the process, and saw his flagrant-2 foul downgraded by the league. The latter action was likely related to Green's long history of provocations.

About Brad Sullivan
Brad Sullivan is a lead writer for Cavaliers Nation. He has spent much of life in the Cleveland, Ohio area, and has remained a Cavalier fan from their 1970 beginnings through the return of LeBron James. While that fandom was sorely tested during the Reign of Error known simply by one word, Stepien, that overall historical perspective will be part of his writing for Cavaliers Nation in the months ahead.

I went on rateyourmusic.com looking desperately for some awesome '80s new wave music I've never heard before. I used their filter to come up what their users thought were the top new wave music albums of all time, and this one came up in the Top Ten. Perfect, because I've never heard of the guy!
Even though I usually don't understand what this dude is saying, I'd imagine it must be pretty goofy. I mean, hear that extended, wobbly note he sings at the end of "Summer on a Solitary Beach" that seems like it was modified to sound like a flying saucer from a '50s B-movie. There are also a few moments throughout this album in which he breaks into a Monty-Pythonesque operetta. So, it seems the guy was having fun with this. I hear him quoting a bunch of old '60s songs in "Cuccurucucu," which is the perfect place to hear how charmingly thick his Italian accent is. The song is remarkably catchy, too; I suspect it's one of the finest '80s pop songs there is.
Shockingly, I did a little bit of research! What I learned is that Battiato had at least 10 years experience making "experimental" albums, some of which were in a Philip Glass vein, before breaking out into pop music in the early '80s. I hear at least a Glassesque spirit throughout this album, except it's set to a herky-jerky rhythm. Most of these songs feature repetitive textures and chord progressions, but they're done in a way that I find mesmerizing. He keeps these songs fresh throughout their running time by adding extra instruments and/or providing an interesting background effects. ...This is clearly the work of a seasoned pro.
The only drawback is that the album is barely over thirty minutes. But this is better than loading an album with filler! Every song here is good. "Bandiera Bianca" might be the highlight, which features a memorable, subdued groove that he finds ways to decorate as it progresses. At one point I hear a muted electric guitar playing disjointed notes, and--at the very end--some xylophones come in, twinkling. "Sentimento Nuevo" is a laid back and phenomenally happy song with a bouncy bass, silly synthesizers, sweet mandolins, twinkling pianos, sunny electric organs, and a little bit of fuzz guitar in spots for good measure. And, wow! It's also catchy! I love that artful, Roxy-Musicesque saxophone playing such memorable riffs throughout "Centro Di Gravita Permanente." Oh, the bass guitar and jerky rhythms are great, too, but I could listen to those saxophones play like that for eternity.
I don't find "Segnali Di Vita" and "Gli Uccelli" as catchy as I find them rather beautiful experiences, both featuring pianos flourishing in the background and thickly laid strings. Those are also moments I notice that Battiato can create a rather beautiful high-pitched coo.


Jeff Hardy vs Undertaker? Yes Please!!
Two of the biggest names in the wrestling business, going against each other at the grandest stage of them all, in a Hell in a Cell. Imagine!! Well, that's the way Jeff Hardy wants to end his professional wrestling career, if given a chance to pick his career ending moment for himself.
WWE and Hardy have had a much checkered relationship. In the year 2003, WWE severed ties with him due to his drug addiction. He got into rehab and three years later, WWE had him on the roster once again. Flash forward to three years later, Hardy left the company and went to TNA, owing to the tough travel schedule of the WWE. It is said that they parted on very friendly terms.
During a recent interview with the L.A. Times, Hardy stated that he would love to Swanton off the top off the cell, onto the commentary table. He then wants to climb the cell, Swanton through the cage when Taker is back in the ring, miss the move, and walk into a tombstone for the win for the Deadman.
It is noteworthy to mention that Jeff started his singles career in a ladder match against the Undertaker back in 2002. It was at that very moment when it was clear that WWE intended to push Jeff as a singles competitor. It makes sense for Hardy to end his singles career at the grandest stage of them all against the man who helped launch his career.
Also Read : The ride to DudleyVille continues!
It is noteworthy to mention that the Hardy brothers have been involved with the wrestling business even before they were of the legal drinking age. At a point when they're hitting 40, it makes sense for them to plan their retirement. Both of them have been involved with the WWE and were one of the most prolific tag team champions of all time, with Jeff being a former IC champion, WWE Champion, and Matt being a former Cruiserweight champion, US champion during their run as singles competitors.
With TNA coming to a virtual shut down, it appears that the roster would eventually end up with WWE.

Windstream's REIT Prepares to Launch
March 27th, 2015 by Rob Powell · 1 Comment
Windstream's board of directors has signed off on its planned spinoff of its network assets into a REIT. It's a highly anticipated action of course, and one that could potentially shift the telecommunications landscape.
That means we have a date for the anticipated birth of Communications Sales & Leasing as an independent entity: April 24, 2015. That's when Windstream will distribute 80.1% of CS&L's shares to its shareholders, holding onto the rest to sell off opportunistically over the next year or so. Windstream will also be distributing a bit of cash at the same time with a pro-rated $0.25 quarterly dividend on the same day. The new stock ticker: CSAL.
Just what CS&L will do with its newfound independence is an open question. They could conceivably go straight out on the M&A trail and take network assets off the hands of other CLECs and smaller ILECs via a similar deal. That would diversify them from Windstream, which will initially be its one and only source of revenue. But whether they will find others ready to take such a plunge yet is still unclear.
As for Windstream, they will be parting ways with the ownership of their network infrastructure, but will still be operating and maintaining it as they always have as they provide service to the same customers. At least, that's the plan. How it actually plays out in reality will be a story for the rest of the year.

I can't think of a more boring "development" in telecommunications. Instead of trying to revolutionize into the 21st century with NaaS to make more money, they're all going to revert to 19th century real estate regulations to save more money.
Then again, to "save" netfl… er sorry, the internet, we also just applied early 20th century utility regulations, as well.
Idiots.

Collegians Jeff Evans, Stratton Schulz Square Off in Utah State Am Finale
Stratton Schulz, who hasn't seen the last two holes of the Soldier Hollow Gold Course since match play began, and Jeff Evans, who took 21 holes to win both his quarterfinal and semifinal matches, will meet in the championship match of the 113th Utah State Amateur Championship Sunday at Soldier Hollow on the Gold Course.
Evans hails from Cedar City and has played collegiate golf at Southern Utah University and Schulz hails from Vernal and plays college golf at Utah Valley University.
Schulz, the 31st seed by virtue of making a birdie in the 16-man playoff for the final match play spots, has defeated Weber's Casey Halliday, 3 and 2; HAFB's Tommy Wingert, 4 and 2; BYU's Cameron Edens, 3 and 2; and Jeremy champion Greg Wojtkun, 6 and 5.
Evans, the eighth seed, defeated David Madsen, 6 and 4; former runnerup Scott Clark, 1-up; the number one seed John Busby, in 21 holes; and Conner Jones, in 21 holes.
Evans, in his quarterfinal match against number one seed John Busby was two down with two to play, but birdied the 17th to cut it to one. On the 18th he hit two great shots and had a short birdie putt that was conceded when Busby had trouble in the sand. It took them three more holes before Evans clinched the grueling match with a birdie.
Evans also found himself in trouble in his semifinal match with Conner Jones who had taken a 2-up lead by running in three straight birdies on 13, 14, and 15. However, the never-say-die Evans birdied the 16th and 18th holes to send it into sudden death, where once again it concluded with an Evans birdie on the 21st hole.
Since it is a 36-hole final match Schulz is going to have to play the 17th and 18th holes in the morning round and he can know for certain that a lead against Evans isn't very meaningful.
On the other hand, the goal for Evans is to at least make Schulz play the last two holes in the afternoon round.
The morning round begins at 7:30. There will be a brief intermission and the afternoon round is expected to begin at 11:30.

Jim Keltner
Jim Keltner is best known for his session work on solo recordings by three of The Beatles, working often with George Harrison, John Lennon (including Lennon solo albums, as well as albums released both by the Plastic Ono Band and Yoko Ono), and Ringo Starr.
He and Starr were the drummers on the Concert for Bangladesh, rock music's first charity benefit, initiated by George Harrison and Ravi Shankar, in August 1971 at Madison Square Garden in New York; he also performed at the Garden in 1972 for John Lennon's "One To One" benefit for the Willowbrook State School.
Jim Keltner started out in jazz, although his first session was recording "She's Just My Style" for the pop group Gary Lewis and the Playboys.
In addition to his work with three of the Beatles, Keltner, as a free-lance drummer, has also worked with Roy Orbison, Harry Nilsson, Eric Clapton, Steely Dan, Joe Cocker, Leonard Cohen, Ronnie Wood, Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, Chrissie Hynde, Joe Walsh, Timothy Schmidt, Don Felder, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Brian Wilson, The Ramones, Bill Frisell, Neil Young, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, Steve Jones, Crowded House, Fiona Apple, Elvis Costello, The Bee Gees, Jackson Browne, The Manhattan Transfer, Randy Newman, Ry Cooder, Los Lobos, Pink Floyd, Warren Zevon, Rufus Wainwright, Tom Petty, Gillian Welch, Lucinda Williams, Diana Krall, Michael Bluble, John Mayer, Jim Jones among many others.
He is featured on Carly Simon's 1971 album, Anticipation. In 1973, Keltner was the session drummer on Bob Dylan's Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid, which includes the hit "Knockin' on Heaven's Door". Keltner says that session "was a monumental session for me because it was such a touching song, it was the first time I actually cried when I was playing".
In the late 1980s, Keltner toured with Ringo Starr's All-Starr Band. He also played drums on both albums released by the 1980s supergroup, the Traveling Wilburys, playing under the pseudonym Buster Sidebury.
His drumming style typically melds deceptively simple drum patterns and a casual, loose feel with extraordinary precision. Demonstrations of his style and range can be found from "Jealous Guy" on John Lennon's Imagine, the hit single "Dream Weaver" by Gary Wright, "Josie" on Aja by Steely Dan, "Watching the River Flow" by Bob Dylan and The Thorns' debut, in which he sensitively accompanies Matthew Sweet, Pete Droge and Shawn Mullins.
In 1987, Keltner, along with guitarist Ry Cooder, and bassist Nick Lowe played on John Hiatt's Bring the Family. Four years later, the four musicians reunited as the band Little Village, recording an eponymously-named album.
Jim has produced 2 records for Jerry Lee Lewis, Me No Man and Rock'n Roll. His lastest production for Connor Oberst will released in early 2017

Erodibility and erosion risk of black soils of central Mexico: study of a Phaeozem

Erosion estimates for black soils in Mexico based on the Universal Soil Loss Equation (USLE) present discrepancies due to generalizations that lead to errors in permissible limits, with the erodibility factor or K factor (FK) being the most sensitive. The objective of the present investigation was to obtain a reasonable FK range for a Phaeozem (PH) from central Mexico by contrasting two equations based on the USLE. Samples were randomly obtained at three sites (P1, P2, P3) of a four-hectare area. The percentage of organic matter, textural class, soil structure, and profile permeability were determined. The results reveal differences between the estimated FK (FKe) and reference FK (FKr), whose values were +0.015, +0.028, and +0.029 for P1, P2, and P3, respectively. The differences represent underestimations that are up to 1.7 times greater in magnitude for FKr with respect to FKe. The statistical analysis rejects the null hypothesis (H0) that the means of each site evaluated are the same (P1 = P2 = P3). Although the variances between the factors of erodibility obtained using the equation specific to the Mollisols in Yunnan Province, China, and the reference nomography developed primarily in United States are significantly different (α ≥ 0.01), a combination of both could provide a range of maximums and minimums in the FK estimates and would yield better results than with the use of default values that tend to underestimate erosion rates.

The country's premier State is an eclectic mix of city-glamour and country-ease, coastal treasures and mountain retreats and, if that's not enough, provides enough attractions to satisfy even the most pedantic history buffs.
Considered the birthplace of modern Australia, it was on the coast of New South Wales that Captain Cook first set foot many, many moons ago. While Sydney's spectacular harbor is arguably the best in the world, and its museums state of the art; the State has much to offer beyond the glitz of its celebrated capital city.
The hazy rainforests of the Washpool National Park are Heritage listed, as is the temperate rainforest at the base of the renowned Blue Mountains; both providing some fantastic bushwalking opportunities. A wine tour to the gorgeous Hunter Valley should also be on your itinerary; the Hunter offers the perfect week end away and is easily reached within 2 hours from Sydney.
