Terrie Sultan and Robin Nicholson Form New Entity to Assist Arts Organizations
Annette Hinkle
Terrie Sultan, former director of the Parrish Art Museum, has partnered with Robin Nicholson to form Art Museum Strategies @ Hudson Ferris.
In a move reflecting the challenges that art museums face in the post-COVID world, two former art museum directors, Terrie Sultan and Robin Nicholson, are partnering with consultants Hudson Ferris to form a new entity — Art Museum Strategies @ Hudson Ferris.
The firm officially launched on May 13, and Art Museum Strategies (AMS) principals Nicholson and Sultan each offer expertise gained through more than 30 years in the field. Together they bring experience of re-structuring, re-calibrating, re-branding and re-thinking art museums, especially important in the current environment. Their association with Hudson Ferris offers services in non-profit fundraising, growth and development.
According to a press release from the firm, AMS @ Hudson Ferris will offer "a bespoke package of art museum director-led advice and consultancy on major post-COVID issues, specifically: re-calibrated strategic planning; board relationship and development; operational structure; fundraising; and ethically-guided de-accessioning projects.
The firm's value proposition is an affordable service with two art museum directors providing peer-to-peer support, a specifically designed menu of services, and professional support as directors and boards make difficult operational decisions."
Terrie Sultan is highly regarded internationally for her curatorial projects and is a published author of a number of books and publications. She served as director of the Blaffer Art Museum (2000-2008) and the Parrish Art Museum (2008-2020), where she developed and implemented major capital campaigns for endowments, program initiatives, and for the Parrish, completed a $33 million campaign for the design and construction of a new facility that opened in 2012.
"With the enormous changes art museums and all cultural institutions are facing today, and the need for sound strategic planning for the future, now is the time for seasoned professionals to step up to help," said Sultan. "By joining forces with our colleagues at Hudson Ferris, we can provide assistance in the crucial areas of need for today and the future."
Robin Nicholson is partnering with Terrie Sultan on a new art consulting venture.
Robin Nicholson comes to this new venture with experience as deputy director at Virginia Museum of Fine Arts (2006-2014), executive director of Frick Pittsburgh (2014-2019), and CEO and executive director of Telfair Museums, Savannah (2019-2020).
"We are excited to partner with Hudson Ferris on developing an art museum-specific consulting service," said Nicholson. "Our colleagues in the art museum world are facing multiple challenges as we emerge from the pandemic and the many other societal issues that have roiled the country recently.
"AMS @ Hudson Ferris will work with institutional leadership at all levels with the goal of assisting art museums to sustain their programs, build income, re-boot strategic plans, and re-evaluate diversity, equity, and inclusion. And above all, return to normal."
Ed Liebman, founding partner of Hudson Ferris concurs.
"We are thrilled to partner with Terrie and Robin for what we feel will be the most comprehensive and best in class consulting service available to art museums," he said.

Arts & Leisure Annette Hinkle - January 19, 2022
While growing up on the East End, Kayla Matters, who graduated from Southampton High School in 2014, relished the friendships she made through theater. As the director of the Bay Street Student Academy, a new performing arts program for children and teens that begins on January 31, Matters is looking to introduce the East End's youth to the professional world of theater.
Arts & Leisure Joan Baum - January 19, 2022
The main appeal of Shelby Raebeck's short stories in his collection "Louse Point" is their ear-perfect dialogue. People talk like that — past each other, on parallel lines of self-interest, vaguely hearing the other, responding with sound, if not sense.

A matte red boot from Pierre Hardy's fall '18 collection.
These are some of the memorable American film references that inspired Pierre Hardy's standout cowboy boots for fall '18. The designer's glamorous music-hall low boot with a microheel certainly isn't your typical Western wear.
Available in black, red and camel glazed leather — or black pony — the Cassidy style reflects Hardy's overall vision for the season.
"It's about mixing the ultrafeminine look with that cowboy roughness," he said at his presentation today at Paris Fashion Week — which was held in an opulent private residence in the City of Light.
Other key styles in the collection include the aptly named Wild Wild West over-the-knee stocking boots, which mix luxe materials such as brocade with lurex stripes. It's another example of the contrasting themes throughout the collection.

These attachments contain two articles published in the Indianapolis Star in May 1910.
Attachment AutoNotes050810 (published May 8, 1910) like the other article, is a digest column of quick notes about various players in the automotive world, particularly in Indianapolis. Here are the highlights:
An effort to once again (as with the previous year) host the annual convention of the Federation of American Motorcyclists (FAM), the foremost national motorcycle organization, in Indianapolis, was pronounced a failure.
The Inter-State Motor Sales Company of Muncie established an Indianapolis branch at Tenth Street and Ft. Wayne Avenue. E.E. Short was appointed manager.
The Co-Auto Motor Company (a dealership) was notified by the Jackson Automobile Company of Michigan that they planned to enter cars in the Indianapolis Motor Speedway races later that month. One of the cars was reportedly the same one that was the center of controversy as the leader of the Wheeler-Schebler Trophy when the race was cancelled due to accidents and hazardous driving conditions at the Speedway's first major auto race meet in August 1909.
Harold O. Smith, president of the Premier Motor Manufacturing Company the previous week made a trip to New York to the regular monthly meeting of the Licensed Automobile Manufacturers Association (LAMA). Smith planned another trip back to New York for a meeting of the National Association of Automobile Manfacturers (NAAM).
Art Newby, one of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway founders and the cheif executive at the National Motor Vehicle Company attended the Atlanta speedway race meet. The article notes that the accident that involved driver Johnny Aitken in that Thursday's 200-mile contest occurred as he was leading by over a lap during mile 49. Regardless, his team met with significant success including Tom Kincaid's 200-miler triumph.
Richard Bacon Jr. was announced as a new hire in the sales organization of the Hudson Motor Car Company.
Herbert H.H. Rice, sales and advertising manager for Nordyke & Marmon also attended the Atlanta race meet. He was reportedly "jubilant" over the success of the Marmon racing team both in Atlanta and at Play Del Rey the previous month.
Newell Motsinger was named as driver of the Empire "20" for the May 1910 race meet at the Brickyard. Motsinger had practiced on the track the previous day.
Here's a very interesting item: manufacturers were growing increasingly concerned about the supply of Hickory, the wood of choice for constructing wooden wheels for both cars and horse-drawn conveyances. According to F.A. Davis of the Jackson, Michigan-based Jackson Automobile Company, "Fully 150,000 board feet are used every year for spokes, rims, axles, vehicle bodies and other parts of the automobile. About 200,000,000 feet are made into lumber. Hickory comprises only two to three percent of the total standing timber in the hardwood forests of the United States. The total mill value of the hickory use in the United States last year was about $12,000,000.
Mayor Edward Hull Crump of Memphis, Tennessee is cited as an example of the growing trend of municipal officers acquiring automobiles. He recently purchased a six-cylinder, 60 HP Premier touring car described as the largest one he could find in the city. It reportedly accommodated seven passengers. Crump reportedly liked its speed as well.
Franklin automobiles, famous for their air-cooled engines, reported that it recently ran one of their models for 48 consecutive hours without adjustment.
The Chicago Motor Club announced two gold medals for competitors in a circuit stretching over public roads between Cincinnati-Dallas-Chicago. One medal was for cars entered in what was referred to as a "Glidden Class," the other for a field of roadsters and toy tonneaus.
An interesting item noted that two 100-mile motorcycle races were scheduled for eight o'clock that morning at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.
An executive referred to as "Traffic Manager Moore" of the United States Motor Company is credited with negotiating for a new passenger and freight station at Newcastle, Indiana where one of four Maxwell automobile factories was located.
F.A. Davis of the Jackson Auto Company reported that farmers had by that time purchased 76,000 automobiles. Half the 10,000 automobiles in Iowa were owned by farmers. Davis' report also indicated that Kansas farmers spent $3.2M for automobiles during 1909 and $2.75M in 1908. He added that in one Nebraska town, population 800, there were 40 automobiles purchased in 1909.
Kate Gleason, a marvel of success for women in the male-dominated age, is credited with designing a "marvelous and intricate mechanism" for cutting bevel gears as large as 18 inches in diameter. Her machine had been installed at the Columbia Motor Car Company at Hartford, Connecticut. Gleason's apparatus was called an automatic generating bevel-gear planer. Note that not only was Gleason the first woman to become a member of the American Society of Engineers and today the Rochester Institute of Technology's engineering school carries her name.
The Vanderbilt Cup race date was announced as October 1.
F.A. Barker, sales manager of the Overland Automobile Company was in Indianapolis overnight from Toledo, Ohio. He spent time in meetings with industry colleagues at the Claypool Hotel.
W. McK. White and John Orman of the Premier Motor Manufacturing Company were taking a trip to French Lick Springs that day. This note indicates that the Flat Tire Club apparently made regular runs to French Lick and planned one for the following Sunday.
The second digest column in attachment AutoNotes052210 (published May 22, 1910) the week of the national circuit race meet at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. This attachment also had a short article concerning Cole automobile performance. The digest topics were:
W.J. Mead, secretary and general manager of the Olds Motor Works announced the sale of a seven-passenger Oldsmobile Limted to Philadelphia Mayor John Reyburn.
The Touring Club of America charted a 4,000-mile tour for J.L. Hebberd, described as a "prominent motorist," to travel from his home in El Paso, Texas to Springfield, Massachusetts by way of Denver and Chicago.
P.D. Stubbs, formerly of Overland, joined the sales staff of the Hudson Motor Car Company. He had also worked with the White company as well as other automotive firms.
Amateur race driver Art Griener arrived in Indianapolis from Chicago. He had his National "40" on the Speedway practicing for the upcoming national circuit races.
W.D. Tousey, another amateur racer, arrived with his National "40" and professional driver Harry Harvey who would also compete in the "open" events.
H.F. Sundon is noted as a National traveling representative. He was preparing for a trip to St. Louis but planned to return for the upcoming races.
Employees of the Overland-Marion auto factories were presented with souvenir booklets as a keepsake of a recent employee picnic. An inscription from Vice President Will H. Brown read, "Please accpet this little souvenir with my compliments as I desire thus to express to you, my fellow worker, that I sincerely appreciate your earnest efforts. For co-operation I thank you, and trust that our labor, to make our cars the greatest cars on earth, will be as pleasant in the future as in the past."
Plans for a hazard race, presented by Overland, are noted. This item indicates that 15 factory test cars would be on hand and "sent through thrilling capers." The drivers were called "motor cowboys," who planned to drive over portable bridges and through the track's creek. All of this, according to the report, was to educate the public on how well a motor car could perform under difficult circumstances.
Overland again promised to supply visiting newspaper reporters with cars for transportation.
An item considering the Marion race team is interesting because there is no mention of Lewis Strang whom earlier the company had recruited to play the role of "captain." Strang was struggling to save his marriage at the time and that may have been why he did not (apparently) take the job. The drivers were listed as Gil Andersen and Charles Stutz. Stutz' involvement is interesting too in that he announced his retirement from racing in March. A list of the races the team planned to compete in is provided.
Overland President J.N. Willys was in Texas and not expected back until the following Monday. He was apparently visiting the Lone Star State because of plans to construct a large assembly plant at Ft. Worth. "Boosters" of that city had visited Indianapolis the previous week and had a private train car for transportation. They used that luxury convenience to entertain Willys and carry him back to Ft. Worth with them.
William B. Esterley, Firestone Tire and Rubber Company representative to the Indianapolis district was reportedly headed back to the company's Akron, Ohion headquarters for a brief business trip.
Ray F. McNamara of the Premier Motor Manufacturing Company was on a business trip to Pittsburg.
W. McK. White is noted as the advertising manager for Premier. He was on a tour to French Lick in a Premier Clubman touring car along with a few colleagues.
The Flat Tire Club was reportedly planning to move their luncheon headquarters away from the Denison Hotel. The new location would be announced later.
C.P. Henderson, general maager of the Henderson Motor Sales Company - another dealership - had apparently closed a deal to represent the Cole factory product in his network of dealers.
An additional article seperate from the digest the item concerning Cole discussed the company's success in a Chicago Motor Club Economy run. The machine covered a distance well over 100 miles through rough terrain. No mechanical issues were reported, but one tire was punctured. J.J. Cole is listed at the company's president and is quoted:
"It is very gratifying to have our car be first in such a contest. For, in view of all its recent speed victories, it demonstrates beyond a doubt that in designing the car for speed the matter of fuel economy was not sacrificed."

Improved vaccines capable of promoting long-term cellular immunity are urgently required for a number of diseases that remain global health problems. In the present study, we demonstrate that a tuberculosis subunit vaccine, Ag85B-ESAT-6/CAF01 (where ESAT-6 is early secreted antigenic target of 6 kDa and CAF01 is cationic adjuvant formulation 01), induces very robust memory CD4 T cell responses that are maintained at high levels for >1 year postvaccination. This long-term, vaccine-induced memory response protects against a challenge with Mycobacterium tuberculosis at levels that are comparable to or better than those of bacillus Calmette-Guérin. Characterization of the CD4 memory T cells by multicolor flow cytometry demonstrated that the long-lived memory population consisted almost exclusively of TNF-alpha(+)IL-2(+) and IFN-gamma(+)TNF-alpha(+)IL-2(+) multifunctional T cells. In addition, memory cells isolated >1 year postvaccination maintained a strong, vaccine-specific proliferative potential. Long-term memory induced by the BCG vaccine contained fewer multifunctional T cells and was biased toward effector cells mainly of the TNF-alpha(+)IFN-gamma(+)-coexpressing subset. Ag85B-ESAT-6/CAF01 vaccination very efficiently sustained multifunctional CD4 T cells that accumulated at the site of infection after M. tuberculosis challenge, whereas the response in unvaccinated animals was characterized by CD4 effector T cells. Our data demonstrate that adjuvanted subunit vaccines can promote long-term protective immune responses characterized by high levels of persisting multifunctional T cells and that the quality and profile of this response is sustained postinfection.


A new chapter in the development of the House of One has been opened. With a ceremonial act we said goodbye to our pavilion on Petriplatz in Berlin with many representatives from culture, politics, economy, religion and urban society. Thus, space has been created for the preparations for the next important date, which was announced in the context of this finissage: The foundation stone for the House of One will be laid on 14 April 2020.
"This is an important step towards the structural completion of our interreligious peace project," Rabbi Andreas Nachama, Chairman of the Board of Trustees and member of the Presidium of the House of One, said on Wednesday at the finissage. "For several years now we have been active in interreligious dialogue and - Jews, Christians and Muslims together - in our daily work in the House of One Foundation we contribute time and again to more understanding, tolerance and togetherness in our society."
The finissage was the last celebration on Petriplatz until the laying of the foundation stone, which falls on the anniversary of the premiere of Lessing's drama "Nathan the Wise" in Berlin in 1783. The drama is a plea for humanism and peaceful understanding between religions and society. "At that time Berlin opened up for the first performance of Lessing's important, at that time highly controversial work," said Imam Kadir Sanci, member of the Presidium of the House of One. "Today we are grateful that Berlin is opening up again, this time for the House of One."
His colleague on this committee, Pastor Gregor Hohberg, added: "The openness today can and will not only affect the three religions that are the founders of the House of One Foundation, but it goes far beyond that and invites atheists, religious seekers and other religions to engage in dialogue". A few years ago a newspaper text even read: "Lessing's ring parable becomes architecture". A beautiful parallel that is worth thinking about.
First, however, the archaeologists will return again before the building site on the once swampy floodplain can finally be fortified in the centre of Berlin. Around 70 concrete piers over 30 metres long have to be drilled into the ground in order to stabilise it permanently. Only then the construction of the House of One can begin on the foundations of the former Petri Church, Berlin's first church.
Three years are planned for the construction of the House of One. The costs will amount to 43.5 million euros. 8.5 million euros in donations and contributions have already been received, 10 million euros have been pledged by the federal government - with the proviso that the state of Berlin and private donors will each contribute a further 10 million euros. The remaining gap of five million euros will be closed with crowdfunding and fundraising campaigns.
The educational work of the interreligious team in the House of One as well as corresponding workshops, presentations or events of the House of One Foundation will be continued unaffected by this.


Shoppers from China, who account for 33% of UK tax-free shopping, increased their spending by 103% compared to February last year, The Times reports.
Owing to the fall in pound and tax-free buying, the total international UK tax-free spending has increased by 55%.
According to Global Blue, Qatari shoppers took second position with 8% increase in their spending and accounting for the highest average expenditure, at £1,736 per transaction.
Visitors from Kuwait were third, with a 67% increase followed by those from the UAE at 38%, Saudi Arabia at 68% and Hong Kong at 97%.
Tesco has pulled from its shelves eight Heineken brands including Amstel, Sol and Kingfisher beer, refusing to accept the brewer's price rises, The Guardian reports.
Tesco has been not stocking several brands of Heineken for six weeks as price negotiations between the companies did not reach a compromise.
Heineken have argued that inflation since the Brexit vote has pushed up its costs, with an unexpected increase in alcohol taxes in the Budget earlier this month.

Henry Cohen (Amsterdam, – Paris, ) est un numismate français, spécialiste des monnaies romaines et auteur d'un catalogue des monnaies impériales qui fait référence dans les milieux numismatiques jusqu'à la publication du Roman Imperial Coinage au . Il s'est également illustré par ses travaux sur la bibliophilie et ses théories sur la musique.

Biographie
Henry Cohen est né le  à Amsterdam. Il est passionné par la musique au sujet duquel il écrit plusieurs ouvrages en collaboration avec le baron Jean de Witte, lui aussi numismate, et surtout il collectionne les monnaies romaines et de livres anciens.

En 1832-34 puis 1838-1839, il est compositeur d'opéra à Naples, certaines de ses œuvres étant créées sous le nom de Carlo Coen. En 1841, son opéra Antonio Foscarini fut créé avec succès au Teatro Comunale de Bologne, provoquant un renouveau l'année suivante au Teatro Regio de Turin. Il fut ensuite professeur de musique à Paris, notamment au Conservatoire de Paris, et fut pendant un temps directeur du conservatoire de Lille.

Cohen écrit plusieurs compositions, dont une, l'opéra "l'Impératrice", fut jouée, vers 1834, à Naples, Paris et Londres. De plus, il a publié quatre essais sur la théorie de la musique. Professeur de chant, il conseille à Marguerite Baux de débuter dans le rôle de Rachel dans La Juive en février 1876.

Il entre au Cabinet des médailles de la bibliothèque nationale de France en 1859 comme surnuméraire et sera nommé bibliothécaire en 1875. Il publie divers ouvrages dont la Description historique des Monnaies frappées sous l'Empire romain, catalogue des monnaies romaines recensées à son époque, allant de Pompée à Romulus Augustule, qui fait référence à la fin du  et une partie du .

Amateur d'estampes et bibliophile, il est l'auteur d'un ouvrage de référence sur le livre illustré au XVIIIe siècle : le Guide de l'amateur de livres à vignettes du XVIIIe siècle, qui connait six rééditions entre 1870 et 1912.

Il décède le  à Bry-sur-Marne où il est inhumé.

Still only available for pre-order-interest-registration, though. The good news, however, is that the type A device (available some time later this year allegedly) looks like it will also ship with 256MB of RAM (instead of the originally planned 128MB), which elevates it from "useless" to "mostly useless" as far as running a current Linux distro is concerned.

Fedora at least runs just fine with 256Mb of RAM. I have a few devices with such spec that will happy run a UX on them, the XO-1 is one example. Peter

Define "runs just fine", please. Default desktop environment with some commonly used applications like Firefox and Thunderbird? My Thunderbird expands to over 150MB of RAM when it loads. And then there's LibreOffice... If "runs just fine" is intended to mean "average desktop use", I don't think the experience with 256MB of RAM fits the description. Gordan

It runs Firefox and LibreOffice just fine using gnome 3 in fall back mode. You can't run a large amount of tabs but when I say just fine it's exactly what I mean. The Raspberry Pi or the XO are not devices aimed at "average desktop use" and I'm sure anyone would be able to work that out but the fact remains it does run it and runs it reasonably well given the specs on the device. If you want a fast device that can do 100s of tabs and a billion other things you need to go and spend more than $35. They're both a completely different use case. Peter

Gordan, I think you are missing the point of the Raspberry PI. It is not meant to be a "professional" proper workplace fully blown machine. It is a development board for kids and teenagers, with the odd University student thrown in. Whatever other developers do with it is another story.

If we're going to talk about missing the point then IMO running a full fat desktop distro like Fedora (or Ubuntu or any derivative of the two) on it is missing the point. Gordan

"Desktop distro" is a bit misleading here. Maemo and Android are also "desktop distros", nothing stops you from using either that way. I think you are more referring to "Gnome". If you dont want gnome, use lxde, xfce or some other light weight weird and wonderfully named DE/Window Manager. They are lighter weight. I think this topic is going a bit off-list now though. The merits of various arm devices running various distributions is a bit off-topic.

As long as we all remember that we want school kids to use these devices to learn computing and have fun and in case they break it, it won't cost them too much to replace these boards. Max

Yeah, but the desktop has nothing to do with Linux per se; you have to think about what the Raspberry Pi is for. You absolutely don't need to do your email on it or run a desktop on it. Andrew.

Anybody got their hands on RaspberryPi ? What kind od projects you are planning with it?

Now That's What I Call Music 5 – Harold Faltermeyer is 5 foot 11 inches tall
After losing Christmas 1984 to The Hits Album, NOW! took a short sabbatical in the new year. Clearly they were no longer the only game in town and things were going to have to change. Rather than rush release another NOW! album straight away and try to reclaim the crown quickly, they sat back and watched as Hits strutted its way to Volume 2 in April 1985, attempting to consolidate their position. For NOW! watchers, April brought a surprise in the shape of NOW Dance, a collection of 12″ mixes which would be the first of many 'special NOW! releases. (NOW Dance would itself become a complimentary series alongside the regular releases. These will be discussed elsewhere.)
NOW 5 finally arrived in the summer. With no Hits album around the way was clear for NOW! to strike back and make a bold statement that they were still top dog. But in reality, it seems a tad lazy in comparison to some of its predecessors, and, to be fair, even compared to Hits 2, which featured four chart toppers among its fairly strong line-up, compared to just the one on show here (Sister Sledge's Frankie).
While initial thoughts are that NOW 5 will be a strong return to form, its deficiencies become apparent pretty soon, on side two, and continue throughout. But before you even get to the music, there's the small matter of the artwork, possibly the worst in the entire series.
Retaining the pig, for what would be his final appearance, seems a solid decision, but the design is dreadful. For the first time in the series, artist photos are ditched in favour of names and logos, which are emblazoned across the pig's garish stripy yellow shirt (the NOW! balls making up the shirt buttons) whilst shapes, streamers and paint splatter explode in the background, along with a series of incomprehensible arrows. Thankfully the NOW! Balls are also fairly prominent, just in case an unsuspecting record shop patron should mistake the sleeve for some piece of long forgotten pop art, of a kind it so desperately wants to emulate. It's truly ghastly. The rear of the sleeve replicates the image as if seen from behind. The reversed NOW! logo is a nice touch, but other than that, it just looks like a fat pig in a badly fitting shirt. The theme continues inside the gatefold where a rather creepy looking sketch shows the pig (still in his horrendous shirt) sitting on the edge of a diving board watching someone diving (badly) into, presumably, a swimming pool. But it's so badly conceived (and the diver appears to have twisted awkwardly mid-dive) that's it's hard to know exactly what's supposed to be going on here. But thankfully, it doesn't take up much room and is easily missed if you didn't know it was there.
So does the content do anything to make up for this pictorial abomination? Not really.
About the only thing people remember about music in the summer of 1985 is Live Aid, so maybe all the big stars were too busy plugging their albums to a worldwide audience… sorry… giving up their free time for a worthy cause to be releasing their biggest and best hits.
The best remembered songs here, were not necessarily the most successful at the time. Whilst things kick off with A View to a Kill (the last Duran Duran appearance with their original line-up) it's the other movie theme on side one that is probably the bigger song, Axel F, from Beverly Hills Cop. As the blurb helpfully, and pointlessly, informs us Harold Faltermeyer is "5 foot 11 inches tall". Slightly more helpfully, it tells us he used to work with Giorgio Morodor and Axel F took four months to reach its number two slot after first charting in march '85 at a lowly number 73. (Incidentally, that itself was one place higher than that reached by the infinitely superior Fletch Theme, which charted a few weeks after the release of NOW 5. But that's irrelevant here. Anyway…)
Scritti Politti finally make an appearance, and would probably have been more successful before The Word Girl if NOW! had given them a bit of a push, and future perennials, Fine Young Cannibals make their debut with Johnny Come Home. Dead or Alive and Stephen "Tin Tin" "Was the singer in Duran Duran before Simon le Bon" Duffy both appear with lesser known as Hits 2 had snagged both You Spin Me Round and Kiss Me earlier in the year. To be fair I've always liked Duffy's Icing on the Cake more anyway, as it sounds like a far more cynical pop song (and attack on the industry) than Kiss Me. If anyone can name another Dead or Alive track, you've got one over on me, so I was pleasantly surprised that their In Too Deep was not dreadful, and a perfectly good pop track. Kool and the Gang's sickly Cherish and Paul Young's textbook Every Time You Go Away round off things a safe, serviceable way.
Simon le Bon yesterday
Then to side two, where inertia, and a desire to tear one's own ears off is briefly abated by the soothing sounds of Don't You Forget About Me and The Power Station's ludicrously overwrought cover of Get It On. This lovely filling is however sandwiched between Marillion, China Crisis, Phil Collins and David Bowie's This is Not America, a song I've only ever listened to all the way through once. If I don't want it on a Bowie compilation, I certainly don't want it here.
We are into dance territory on side three. The blurb even mentions a "resurgence of dance music" in their piece on The Conway Brothers, who were so ineffectual at following up their number 11 smash Turn It Up, that they haven't even got a Wiki entry). It's shrugs all round to be honest, with Mai Tai, Steve Arrington, and more frequent top 40 botherers Loose Ends and Jaki Graham along with the Conway Brothers. Mai Tai's History is particularly catchy, even if it sounds criminally ripped off from the act that precedes them, Sister Sledge, here ditching their disco roots for possibly the most annoying song on the whole double album, Frankie. Maybe it's because it was always played at least five times at every school disco I went to, or because it seemed for three years girls would walk around the playground singing it… for whatever reason Frankie is an awful song. The fact that it's the only number one on show here, proves that no one buying records in 1985 has any taste whatsoever. Graham's track is pretty decent too, but nowhere near as memorable as her earlier duet with David Grant (later a judge on Fame Academy) Could It Be I'm Falling In Love.
And why the side finishes with Rory Bremner impersonating Richie Benaud is anyone's business. It still brings a grin though, and Paul Hardcastle now admits producing the spoof of his own hit, 19 (which, oddly never appeared on a NOW or Hits album).
The final furlong initially promises things will pick up. A stunning quartet of Unforgettable Fire, Walls Come Tumbling Down, a ruthlessly cut short Walking on Sunshine (which only got to number 9!) and the speaker blowing combination of Gary Moore and Phil Lynott on Out in the Fields. Things mellow slightly with The Damned's Shadow of Love, another of those odd choices that pepper the series, before the album collapses in on itself. Howard Jones' dreadful Life in One Day is one of those insufferably chirpy songs you just want to punch in the face (particularly when, like me, you've been listening to it on your dreary, snow-delayed commute to work) but unlike, say, Walking on Sunshine, it has a sense of smug self-satisfaction which somehow depresses more than it inspires. It's astonishing how angry synthesised penny whistles can make you.
And finally there's Jimmy Nail absolutely murdering Love Don't Live Here Anymore. Or at least that's what I thought from hazy memories of hearing it as a kid, and wandering why that ugly bloke from Auf Weidersein Pet was on Top of the Pops. Nail has got a good voice, like a more delicate version of Joe Cocker, but, although this is much better than I remember it, this is not the right song, and he's not helped by a smoky, BBC detective drama production going on behind him. Jimmy would have his day in a few years time, which we will come to in due course. But this is a distinctly, almost oppressively, downer ending for a pop compilation. Particularly one that promises so much hot summer fun from it's cover and equally stomach-churning advert.
NOW 5 is pretty forgettable all round, its highlights simply enhancing the awful anonymity of the rest. With one side of dreary MOR ballads, and another of forgettable dance music, half the album is written off before you even start. Having stars next single after their big hit has been snaffled by your rival is unfortunate, but that doesn't mean you HAVE to include them. And maybe, for once, the programming of the tracks seems to have been badly managed resulting in too much of a "side of this" and a "side of that" rather than the melting pot of hits and misses and genres we'd been used to.
It was time for a re-think. NOW! would need to own Christmas again, and in November they would strike back with a one-two that Hits wouldn't see coming…

Paul Hardcastle's 19 was compiled on the short-lived (just two volumes) Out Now that emerged slightly before Now 5.

Thanks for that. I've discovered OUT NOW was a combo of MCA and Chrysalis records, and I hope to cover them soon, I think there were only two editions. I've meant to update this post to reflect the fact 19 was on Chrysalis so was not going to appear here AND on Out Now

Amblyomma rhinocerotis ist ein blutsaugender Ektoparasit an den beiden afrikanischen Nashörnern Breitmaulnashorn (Ceratotherium simum) und Spitzmaulnashorn (Diceros bicornis). Sie ist eine sehr große Zecke und eine von etwa 130 Arten der Gattung Amblyomma in der Familie Schildzecken (Ixodidae).

Merkmale
Die nachfolgenden Angaben basieren auf einer Beschreibung der Parasitologen Olga V. Voltzit und James E. Keirans aus dem Jahr 2003. Die Publikation ist wesentlich detaillierter als die 1778 veröffentlichte Erstbeschreibung, basiert aber nur auf der Untersuchung je einer männlichen und weiblichen Zecke der United States National Tick Collection, die von Rindern in Uganda stammen. Larven und Nymphen wurden bisher nicht beschrieben.

Adulte männliche Zecken
Das Scutum männlicher Zecken ist breit oval, mit einer Länge von 7,9 Millimeter, gemessen von den Spitzen der Scapulae beiderseits des Capitulum bis zum Hinterrand des Körpers. Die maximale Breite, in der Körpermitte, beträgt 6,75 Millimeter. Das Capitulum misst vom hinteren Rand bis zur Spitze der Palpen 2,78 Millimeter und ist 1,5 Millimeter breit. Das große Scutum hat eine braune Grundfarbe und eine Zeichnung, die aus einem großen und auf dem Hinterleib und den Festons mehreren kleinen metallisch goldfarbenen Flecken besteht. Am Hinterrand des Körpers befinden sich schmale, kurze Festons, die keine sklerotisierten Platten aufweisen. Das Scutum ist mit zahlreichen großen und kleinen Poren besetzt. Die beiden Augen sind rund, konvex und sitzen an den Rändern des Scutums. Die Bauchseite weist eine Genitalöffnung zwischen den Coxen des zweiten und dritten Beinpaars auf. Die Analöffnung befindet sich nach etwa zwei Drittel der Körperlänge. Die Coxen des ersten Beinpaars haben zwei Dorne, der äußere ist länger und reicht fast an die Coxe des zweiten Beinpaares heran. Bei den Coxen des zweiten und dritten Beinpaars ist nur ein einzelner kurzer, paddelförmiger Dorn vorhanden, die des vierten Beinpaars tragen einen einzelnen sehr langen Dorn, der in Richtung des Anus weist.

Adulte weibliche Zecken
Das Idiosoma des Weibchens ist breit oval, mit einer Länge von 10 Millimeter, gemessen von den Spitzen der Scapulae bis zum Hinterrand. Die maximale Breite, in der Körpermitte, beträgt 8,25 Millimeter. Das Capitulum ist 3,2 Millimeter lang und 1,8 Millimeter breit. Das dunkelbraune, symmetrisch pentagonale Scutum hat eine golden und rosa schimmernde helle Zeichnung, die fast über seine gesamte Oberfläche reicht. Es ist 4,8 Millimeter lang und 5,55 Millimeter breit und weist zahlreiche Poren auf. Am Hinterrand des Körpers befinden sich schmale, kurze Festons. Die beiden Augen sind rund, konvex und sitzen an den Rändern des Scutums. Die Bauchseite weist eine U-förmige Genitalöffnung zwischen den Coxen des zweiten und dritten Beinpaars auf. Die Analöffnung befindet sich nach etwa zwei Drittel der Körperlänge. Die Coxen des ersten Beinpaars haben lange runde innere und äußere Dorne, der äußere ist länger und gebogen. Bei den Coxen des zweiten und dritten Beinpaars ist nur ein einzelner kurzer, breit abgerundeter Dorn vorhanden, die des vierten Beinpaars tragen einen einzelnen langen und abgerundeten Dorn.

Lebensweise und Verbreitung
Die Hauptwirte adulter Amblyomma rhinocerotis sind das Breitmaulnashorn und das Spitzmaulnashorn. Als gelegentliche Wirte werden Boas und Schildkröten genannt, einzelne Berichte gibt es über Funde an Flusspferden, Elenantilopen, Schweinen und Katzen. Die Larven und Nymphen wurden noch nicht beschrieben und  es liegen keine Informationen über ihre Wirte vor. Amblyomma rhinocerotis kommt in Zentral-, Ost- und Südafrika über das gesamte Verbreitungsgebiet seiner beiden Hauptwirte vor.

Überträger von Piroplasmen
Zwei von Zecken als Vektor übertragene Piroplasmen, Babesia bicornis und Theileria bicornis, können bei Spitzmaulnashörnern Parasitosen mit tödlichem Verlauf verursachen. Der Zeckenwirt ist noch nicht identifiziert, doch Amblyomma rhinocerotis und Dermacentor rhinocerinus wurden in der Literatur vorgeschlagen. Es gilt als wahrscheinlich, dass mit diesen Zecken auch die beiden Piroplasmen aussterben würden. Eine jüngere Studie aus Südafrika zeigte, dass von untersuchten Breitmaulnashörnern mehr als 36 Prozent mit Theileria bicornis und mehr als neun Prozent mit Theileria equi infiziert waren. Bei Breitmaulnashörnern verliefen die Infektionen allerdings asymptomatisch. Eine besondere Bedeutung hat die Babesiose für ausgewilderte Nashörner, die in ihrer Jugend nicht mit den Erregern konfrontiert waren und in der Freiheit Infektionen mit schweren Krankheitsverläufen erleben können.

Gefährdung
Die US-amerikanischen Parasitologen Lance A. Durden und James E. Keirans führen Amblyomma rhinocerotis neben Amblyomma personatum, Cosmiomma hippopotamensis und Dermacentor rhinocerinus als eine jener Arten von Zecken auf, die ausschließlich oder fast ausschließlich Breitmaulnashorn und Spitzmaulnashorn parasitieren. Die Zeckenpopulationen gingen mit denen ihrer Wirte zurück. Der Bestand der wirtsspezifischen Parasiten ist auch dadurch gefährdet, dass eingefangene Nashörner vor ihrer Freilassung routinemäßig von ihren Parasiten befreit und mit Antiparasitika behandelt werden. Amblyomma rhinocerotis ist im Vergleich zu artspezifischen Parasiten des Spitzmaulnashorns, wie Amblyomma personatum, weniger stark gefährdet. Die Untersuchung der Zeckenfauna beider Nashornarten im südlichen Afrika erbrachten Nachweise für Amblyomma rhinocerotis, aber nur mit einer Prävalenz von maximal 16,3 Prozent. Demgegenüber betrug die Prävalenz des Befalls mit Amblyomma hebraicum bei beiden Nashornarten bis 100 Prozent.

Systematik

Äußere Systematik
Amblyomma rhinocerotis (De Geer, 1778) gehört mit mehr als 700 Arten in 14 Gattungen zur weltweit verbreiteten Familie der Schildzecken (Ixodidae). Die Gattung Amblyomma umfasst etwa 130 Arten, die an Säugetieren, Reptilien und Amphibien parasitieren.

Erstbeschreibung und Taxonomiegeschichte
Die Erstbeschreibung von Amblyomma rhinocerotis und Amblyomma sylvaticum als die beiden ersten südafrikanischen Zeckenarten erfolgte durch Carl De Geer im 1778 posthum veröffentlichten siebten Band seiner Mémoires pour servir à l'histoire des Insectes. Die heute anerkannte Kombination Amblyomma rhinocerotis (De Geer, 1778) wurde 1844 ohne nähere Erläuterungen von dem deutschen Zoologen Carl Ludwig Koch in seiner Arbeit Systematische Übersicht über die Ordnung der Zecken veröffentlicht. Weder durch de Geer noch durch spätere Bearbeiter wurden Typen festgelegt.

Synonymie

Für Amblyomma rhinocerotis wurden im Laufe der Zeit mehrere Synonyme veröffentlicht, und es herrschte zeitweise auch wegen der fehlenden Typen und dem ähnlichen Artepithet von Dermacentor rhinocerinus keine Klarheit darüber, welche Art mit dem Namen bezeichnet wurde. Die folgenden Namen gelten als Synonyme, daneben gibt es einige Falschschreibungen:

 Acarus rhinocerotis de Geer, 1778
 Cynorhaestes rhinocerotis Hermann, 1804
 Ixodes rhinocerotis Fabricius, 1805
 Ixodes walckenaeri Gervais, 1842
 Amblyomma petersi Karsch, 1878
 Dermacentor rhinocerotis Neumann, 1897
 Amblyomma walckenaeri (Gervais, 1844)
 Amblyomma foai Neumann, 1899
 Amblyomma aureum Neumann, 1899

On Thrusday Agropur cooperative announced they have agreed with Agrifoods international Cooperative to buy back its stake in the joint venture Aliments Ultima and to become the sole owner.
The financial details of the agreement have not been specified.
Ultima Foods, which was owned equally by the two cooperatives, has approximately 660 employees in Canada. The yogurt processor, the only one in Canada owned by Canadian interests, is known for its Iögo and Olympic brands.
Its two plants are located in Granby, Quebec, and Delta, British Columbia.
The transaction is subject to the approval of the usual regulatory authorities, including the Competition Bureau.
Agropur submitted that the transaction was a continuation of its business and would promote its long-term development in the yogurt sector.
"We are always very proud when processing assets remain in the hands of Canadian dairy producers," said Agropur President René Moreau in a statement.


Would I be right in saying this has been left out again?
This is my longtime request for Live. It is as the programmers don't use the software themselves. It is impossible to record a guitar clip and get the right length to the clip in session view without a foot pedal.
But I totally agree; this is a quite absurd omission by Ableton. If you don't have a foot controller, it's pretty much impossible to get the clip looping without missing some notes, whether you're using a guitar or a keyboard.
I play mainly guitar and fiddle,and a bit of keys.
so the Launchpad would be a step too far to cover what seems like an omission.
I only use Ableton for performance - the name LIVE sold it to me - but it seems 99.9% of people use it "live" as in with pre-loaded clips.
The LOOPER is a great feature,but it's not integrated into clips for live performance,so yeah,I know what you mean it kinda does,but it also definitely doesn't!
I'd have to drag the LOOPER loop into a clip slot using a mouse for it to be any use in scene launching.
I was sure they'd fix it for 9.
yeah, I agree with that. The LPC script is a part solution but it's again awkward, since you have to change the global quantize setting to, say 4 bars. Which means that if you go back to triggering clips you'd have to switch again to one bar.
"Pre-define the length of a clip using a MIDI controller"
again, not as elegant a solution as you would prefer, but you could start with a set having a few empty clips of predetermined length loaded into session view and record in overdub mode.
Double clicking is ok if you're in the studio - but if you're playing live and using a midi pedal,it's just another thing to go wrong.
The pedal I have is the Softstep,and there's no "click" feeling or noise.
I suppose I could look at changing pedals - but even so,concentrating on double clicking while playing is still a workaround - and working out 4 bar count-ins for clip and scene launching would be a nightmare.

What about launching scenes etc?
You'd be stuck with long trigger times.
That would be impossible for me - I'd have to work with 1 or 2 bar "delays" for scenes or clips I need to retrigger.
