Drakkar Noir/Heidi Sabertooth seduce you to The Sleep of Reason
The music heard on The Sleep of Reason, a split EP by the DJ/producer/multi-instrumentslist team of Heidi Sabertooth and R Gamble a/k/a "Drakkar Noir" released on Chicago's Jacktone Records, is both primordial and futuristic—the sound of electronic circuits climbing out of the primordial ooze and becoming self-aware—which seemingly fits perfect for these two artists one of whom is named for a family of prehistoric predators, and the other named after the most primordial cologne of the '80s and '90s.
The Sleep of Reason by Drakkar Noir & Heidi Sabertooth
These eight tracks of old-school-inspired electro, industrial, acid, and EBM (electronic body music) are raw and spontaneous sounding—qualities that many wouldn't associate with electronic music—due in no small part to the use of standalone electronic hardware, machines that the user manipulates in real time and which were recorded live here for the most part so that a certain level of improvisation works its way into things. Much like more conventional instruments, these types of electronic instruments don't always behave as expected or as intended, meaning that it takes skilled and sensitive musicians to improvise around unexpected sonic detours and that's a big part of what makes this method of music making and this EP compelling.
What also makes Sleep of Reason compelling are the songs themselves—built on minimalistic yet ever-morphing grooves that burrow under your skin and into your grey matter with the insistance of a funky flea circus passing through town. And that's not even to mention the glitched-out, paranoid android vocals heard in various sonic forms from track to track whispering intimate-yet-oft-indesipherable sweet creepy nothings into your earholes.
Elsewhere Ms. Sabertooth has described her four tracks as "a channeling of angst and disenchantment about relationships, technology, and expectations of the modern femme." And you can can hear the pure, uncut intensity of this angst and disenchantment on, say, "It Says You Read It" that with its clattering beatbox percussion and squelchy sine waves pretty much sounds like a Peaches song on Promethazine; or on "I'm Gaining Weight Again" that with its spiraling and increasingly distorted doomy sonic vortex is something like an obsessive shame spiral rendered in sound.
Drakkar Noir's four songs mine somewhat similar territory but with significant differences as well—mining slightly more insistent beats and a stronger acid influence, all appropeiate to his nom de parfume alter-ego—like on side-opener "Free Delight" which makes the very notion of free delight sound both enticing and slightly uneasy as if you just know all that free delight is gonna come back to bite you somehow. Or the next track "Shadow Reel" which is kind of like "Planet Rock" if the planet in question were Jupiter with its cold, windy clouds of ammonia.
Which all fits well with the loose overarching concept and titular inspiration for the EP which is 18th-century Spanish painter/printmaker/iconoclast Francisco Goya's famous etching entitled The Sleep of Reason Produced Monsters (well it's famous if you're an art historian at least) which depicts an artist passed out at his drawing desk surrounded by a sepulchral swarm of bats and owls, with a caption reading: "Imagination abandoned by reason produces impossible monsters; united with her, she is the mother of the arts and source of their wonders". Truer words, etc. etc.
And hey if you're feeling these retro-futurist electro bats and owls vibes then be sure to keep an ear out for Gamble & Sabertooth's live DJs sets on Brooklyn's very own The Lot Radio. And if you're the greater NYC metro area region, you may also wanna check out the Lost Soul Enterprises collective and record label of which they're both core members and which currently has a regular bi-weekly residency going at h0L0, a spacious progressive music oasis tucked away in the borderland between Bushwick, BK and Ridgeway, Queens.

"Subversive To Care" comp released to benefit AAPI communities
In today's fast-paced modern era of music streaming and profligate playlist making (not to mention Twitch DJing and all the other means of assembling original musical mixes) the notion of an old-school compilation album (or "comp") may seem hopelessly out of date. But comps can still be wonderful things, and Subversive To Care (referred to as Sub2Care forthwith), which has been released to coincide with the launch of Paul Is Dead Records, checks off many of the boxes that make them good things.
subversive to care (an AAPI charity benefit compilation from paul is dead records friends & family) by paul is dead records
For one thing, comps are often assembled to raise money for charitable/activist organizations and this one fits the bill with proceeds going to several AAPI organizations—The National Asian Pacific American Women's Forum (www.NAPAWF.org), Asian Mental Health Collective (www.ASIANMHC.org) and The Tibet Fund (www.TIBETFUND.org)—in response to alarming levels of hate crimes and ongoing struggles against prejudice against Asian American and Pacific Islander communities.
What's more, a good comp is a great way to discover new music and new artists without having to continually troll Spotify's Teen Beats playlist (granted, SyKo's "#BrooklynBloodPop!" has its pleasures). And with 60 original songs by the original artists Sub2Care should keep you occupied for a while as you make your way from the start (Wake Up's "Hurricane" in exclusive demo form; the band is pictured above) to the finish (Squires' "Tombstoning") so you basically have got a conceptual theme here of moving from wakefulness to the Big Sleep—not that you can't skip around within and between individual tracks which is another one of the nice things about comps. They're basically sampler platters in musical form.
Sub2Care was put together by the new LA-based label Paul Is Dead Records (with satellite offices in New York and Wisconsin apparently) and is likely named either after the notorious Beatles urban legend, or the recent death of Paul Van Doren, patriarch of the Van's sneaker empire. And while LA artists predominate on the comp (speaking of Vans some of these LA artists no doubt look a lot like Jeff Spicoli or perhaps Phoebe Cates) there's also a decent number from other locales including New York/New Jersey like Frankie Rose, New Myths, Mevius, Dahl Haus, CITYGIRL, Skyler Skjelset (Fleet Foxes), The Natvral (Kip Berman from The Pains of Being Pure at Heart), and Shana Falana (featuring Shana Falana).
Across musical history, comps have occasionally played a key role in defining the sound of a nascent genre or a new record label—like the Lenny Kaye-compiled Nuggets (1972) that set an early template for punk rock, or the 1988 Sub Pop 200 comp that was a who's who of future grunge all-stars—and while Sub2Care isn't strictly speaking a "label comp" since it's made up of tracks donated by "artists who are close friends and family members of our label" quoting label head and co-founder Evan Mui, it's still got a certain vibe or aesthetic, if you will, while being pretty darn eclectic at the same time.
I would prospectively call this vibe or aesthetic Twilight Music. By Twilight Music I mean songs that've got a certain hazy/dreamy/slightly off-kilter quality whether they're upbeat or downbeat or mid-beat. And in this way it's good music for putting on around twilight say when you're pregaming for a Saturday night out (tracks #13 and 14 are two good examples: Smirk's "Do You?" and Eternal Summers' "Belong") or waking up Sunday morning trying to recall what happened the previous night (rewind to tracks #10-12: Four Dots' "I Left My Heart Pump In San Francisco," D.A. Stern's "Funky Holocaust (Drunk Demo)," and Big Nitty's "Chemical Plant") or songs that fit equally well for either scenario (for example, tracks 32-34: Dahl Haus' "Silhouettes and Alibis," Black Needle Noise's "And Nothing Remains," Built Like Alaska's "Ran Into A Coroner").
So throw a few bucks in the Bandcamp bin for Paul Is Dead Records if you like what you hear. And in return you may discover a new favorite artists or two--whether one of the ones mentioned/displayed here or some other deserving object of your musical admiration. (Jason Lee)

VIDEO: "It's All Right" Finds DIY-er Tatiana Hazel Working on Herself
Photo Credit: Yanin Gzv
L.A.-based Chicago native Tatiana Hazel's latest track/video, It's All Right, is a preview of her latest EP (after 2020's Duality EP), and it's difficult not to enjoy the track's laid-back danceable groove and breezy vocals, while also being touched by it's casual honesty about facing mental health challenges.
At points throughout the song, Hazel delivers some sobering lines about facing ones mental illness as well as general disillusion with "truths" presented by the larger world: "maybe i should take a good look at myself / and mirror check on mental health / couldn't be clearer that I'm not doing well, darlin' / and maybe everything you told us was a lie / maybe all we gotta do is pass the time / maybe everything is gonna be all right."
Tatiana Hazel · It's All Right
Ultimately, though, the chorus takes solace in the idea that, as crazy as this life can be, having someone who loves you along for the ride can make things somewhat more tolerable: "It's all right / It's all right / as long as I know that you love me / as long as you are thinking of me."
Listeners will find Tatiana Hazel's pleasingly unaffected voice similar to other electropop chanteuses such as Amelia Meath of Sylvan Esso. However, if one looks past her admittedly polished, Top 40-ready public image, one will quickly realize that, with Hazel not just singing, but writing, producing, recording, mixing, and mastering all but one of her EPs tracks herself, she's a one-person indie pop dynamo well on her way to bigger, better things.

Tyson Swindell Releases Single "Binary Stars" Off Box Set
In the Spotify Age, musicians looking to sell hardcopy releases are well-advised to bring extra assets to play. "L'Aventura," the latest box set from songwriter and composer Tyson Swindell comes correct for lovers of musical minutiae, with a bound book of poetry and an honest to Memorex mixtape of pre-release material alongside his sweet, new lo-fi lament "Binary Stars."
At bad open mics or the wrong side of YouTube, the term "lo-fi" can be shorthand for "low rent, low effort, low energy." Not here. Swindell's work is "lo-fi" in the best sense: slow, intimate, real. Ironically, the actual production fidelity is excellent. Swindell's work has been consistently well-produced, and in places "L'Aventura" is almost cinematic.
The same sense of growing mastery extends from the production to the sound. Working almost exclusively with electronics, Swindell starts with the vibe of an excellent bedroom DJ, but shows a classic, songwriterly sensibility that recalls some of the bygone best of indie and shoegaze masters. "Binary Stars" may rely on digital instruments, but there's as much blood from Band of Horses as Tycho, with both sides serving a poetic but personal lyricism recalling Bright Eyes and late-career Elliott Smith. It's sad boy music for certain, music to mope to, but executed with pretty production and elegant restraint.
As to the rest of the assets, The Deli can't comment – haven't received a copy. If the book and tape live up to the single, however, the box is worth a look for anyone seeking musical company for a quiet night in.

Writhing Squares have a Chart For The Solution
Imagine if Electric Mayhem sax man Floyd Pepper and bandmate/electric bassist Zoot took a break from Jim Henson's house band and got a hold of some vintage drum machines and synths and an array of effects pedals and then fed their heads full of James Chance and the Contortions, Steve and Andy Mackay (no relation), the Sun Ra Arkestra, Kraftwerk, Lemmy-era Hawkwind, and The Comet Is Coming when it comes to their contemporaries, and then moved to South Philly to add more layers of grit and vigor to their sound and you'd probably end up with something like Writhing Squares and something like their third and latest LP Chart For The Solution.
In reality, Writhing Squares is comprised of Kevin Nickles and Daniel Provenzano who in addition to their respective sax and bass duties both play synths and contribute vocals, with Daniel pulling extra duty on percussion and programming, and Kevin filling in some flute and oboe parts. Chart For The Solution came out a couple months ago and it's been in my rotation ever since so I can vouch for the album's durability and its high quotient of electric mayhem.
Chart For The Solution by Writhing Squares
The first track is called "Rogue Moon" and it picks up in a way from where the last track of their previous album left off, namely "A Whole New Jupiter" which took up the last 19 minutes of 2019's Out of the Ether--a heavy psych rewrite of A Love Supreme transformed into triple time and with rhapsodic skronk saxophone played over overdriven bass it all comes off something like a No Wave Coltrane.
Likewise, "Rogue Moon" rides a loping riff into the psychedelic sunset except here the foundation is a burbling analog synth arpeggiation with NEU!ish interlocking rhythms that shift the downbeat around in your head and then right in the middle the song turns itself inside out and stays that way for the rest of its eleven-minute duration--a dreamy coda that's like the soft underbelly to the first half's gleaming steel exterior.
Aside from any overlaps, Chart For The Solution stakes out new terrain for the Squares with a newly cinematic production on some of the tracks and ever more adventurous playing and arrangements. But it never veers too far from their lo-fi ethos roots either--whether in the swirling sonic vortex of "Geisterwaltz" or the post-punky surf rock party of "Ganymede" or the back masked ambient interlude of "A Chorus of Electrons" or the Stooge-worthy rave-up of "NFU." It all culminates in the 18-minute headtrip "The Pillars" which begins by sounding like a UFO landing and then turns into a bleep-bloopy coldwave number with Alan Vega verbal outbursts before taking a turn in the final part with the duo seemingly inhabited by the ghost of Lou Reed trying to get out of another record contract.
In the end it all speaks to the band's enigmatic name, a name suggesting the cohabitation of opposite forces, such as rigid geometric "squares" that can somehow kinesthetically "writhe" because on one side you're got regimentation and repetition and on the other side looseness and grooviness. It's a dynamic heard in the Writhing Squares' conjoining of trance-like repetition and wild sonic freeness, punk and prog in equal measure, maxed-out minimalistic music for the select masses.

Q: GPS Module Without Velocity or Altitude Limitations I am looking for a GPS module that I can use in a high-altitude project.  The problem I have discovered is that GPS manufacturers are required to place a set of restrictions on GPS modules.  The restrictions set a maximum speed and altitude at which the device should stop functioning.  Basically, this limits someone's ability to build a cruise missile.
From what I understand, it is not illegal to have a GPS receiver without these limitations, it is illegal to export it from the U.S. without considering it a weapon.
If I am not mistaken, GPS is also used to track some satellites in orbit, so as long as the orbiting satellite is not in geo-synchronous orbit or further.  Obviously, these GPS receivers do not have the limit, as both the height and velocity would far exceed the mandate.
Does anyone know of a GPS unit that does not have these limitations, or, is there a unit that allows you to flash the firmware and manually remove the limitations?
Link to mention of limitations: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoCom#Legacy

A: Here's a page that discusses several models of GPS that are known to work in balloon applications: http://ukhas.org.uk/guides:gps_modules
It looks like the COCOM limits are imposed differently by manufacturers - some use an altitude 'OR' speed limit check, the others use 'AND'.
My next question would be just how much 3D accuracy you would get out of a GPS unit at 100,000 feet!

A: The US Government GPS Standard Positioning Service Performance Standard, appendix A, guarantees coverage up to an altitude of 3000km. Accuracy of a standard receiver would in no way be reduced at high altitude.  High velocity is a bit different - the increase dopplar shift requires a receiver to search a large frequency range in order to lock on to the signal broadcast.

A: Yes there are also other restrictions. Incidentally some cheap GPS modules don't include them because they take up too much space in the memory, thus making them illegal to export from the US.

Israel's "Disproportionate" Response:
Boy, am I already getting tired of hearing this. The basic claim is that since the thousands of rockets that Hamas has lobbed into southern Israel have caused relatively few death and injuries--just some deaths and injuries, along with massive panic, children living in bomb shelters, thousands of shock victims, etc.--Israel has no right to respond with overwhelming force.
What the Israeli government should do is offer anyone who thinks that having 1/4 million people living under constant fear of deadly rocket fire is acceptable, and should be accepted implicitly by the Israeli government, a plane ticket to Israel and free lodging in Sderot, the border town hardest hit by rockets from Gaza. Hell, I'll personally pay for Glenn Greewald's Sderot vacation.
UPDATE: BTW, I don't have a strong opinion on the wisdom of the Gaza operation. Despite the many strong opinions that one will see in the blogs on this issue, there are so many variables, and so much secret information that only government officials possess (including the real, as opposed to public, views of Egypt, Jordan, and the PA), that it would be rather foolish of me to express a strong viewpoint on whether the operation will achieve its objectives at a reasonable cost or not. But as with the 2006 Lebanon operation, arguing over its wisdom is a very different matter than arguing over whether Israel has the moral right to act to defend its civilian population from rocket attacks launched by terrorist entities.

THE COLD WAR ERA - 1954-91
THE COLD WAR ERA
Canada & the Vietnam War
mk1rceme
Location : Alberta, Canada

Canada and the Vietnam War
Canada did not fight in the Vietnam War and diplomatically it was officially "non-belligerent". The country's troop deployments to Vietnam were limited to a small number of national forces in 1973 to help enforce the Paris Peace Accords. Nevertheless, the war had considerable effects on Canada, while Canada and Canadians affected the war, in return.
During the Cold War, Canada was firmly allied with the mainstream Western powers. For instance, Canada was a founding member of NATO, and was instrumental in the forming of that military alliance against the Soviet Union and its satellites. Canada's foreign policy was also committed to multilateralism and the United Nations, perhaps most noticeably under Lester B. Pearson from 1963 to 1968. Canada thus found itself in a difficult position, caught between these two foreign policy objectives. Canadians were hesitant to adopt the Truman or Eisenhower Doctrines, which held that communism itself must be actively opposed through foreign intervention. Instead, Canada's policy was that illegal acts of international aggression must be opposed, as in the Korean War, during which Canada was among the many countries that sent troops to fight in support of South Korea, under a United Nations resolution.
During the First Indochina War between France and the Indo-Chinese nationalist and communist parties, Canada remained militarily uninvolved but provided modest diplomatic and economic support to the French. Canada was, however, part of the International Control Committee (along with Poland and India) that oversaw the 1954 Geneva Agreements that divided Vietnam, provided for French withdrawal and would have instituted elections for reunification by 1956. Behind the scenes, Canadian diplomats tried to discourage both France and the United States from escalating the conflict in a part of the world Canadians had decided was not strategically vital.
Canada laid out six prerequisites to joining a war effort or Asian alliance like SEATO:
1. It had to involve cultural and trade ties in addition to a military alliance.
2. It had to demonstrably meet the will of the people in the countries involved.
3. Other free Asian states had to support it directly or in principle.
4. France had to refer the conflict to United Nations.
5. Any multilateral action must conform to the UN charter.
6. Any action had to be divorced from all elements of colonialism.
These criteria effectively guaranteed Canada would not participate in the Vietnam War.
Additionally, at the start of the Vietnam War, Canada was a member of the UN truce commissions overseeing the implementation of the Geneva Agreements, and thus was obliged to stay officially neutral. The Canadian negotiators were strongly on the side of the Americans, however. Some delegates even engaged in espionage on behalf of the Americans, with the approval of the Canadian government. Canada also sent foreign aid to South Vietnam, which, while humanitarian, was directed by the Americans.
Canada tried to mediate between the warring countries, aiming for a conclusion that could allow the U.S. to leave the conflict honourably, but also publicly (if mildly) criticised American war methods. Meanwhile, Canadian industry exported military supplies and raw materials useful in their manufacture, including ammunition, napalm and Agent Orange to the United States, as trade between the two countries carried on unhindered by considerations of the purposes to which these exports were being put. Although these exports were sales by Canadian companies, not gifts from the Canadian government, they benefitted the American war effort, none the less.
As the war escalated, relations between Canada and the United States deteriorated. On April 2, 1965 Pearson gave a speech at Temple University in the United States which, in the context of firm support for U.S. policy, called for a pause in the bombing of North Vietnam. In a perhaps apocryphal story, when a furious President Lyndon B. Johnson met with Pearson the next day, he grabbed the much smaller Canadian by his lapels and talked angrily with him for an hour. After this incident, the two men somehow found ways to resolve their differences over the war—in fact, they both met together in Canada two times afterward.
American Draft Resisters and Military Deserters
American draft resisters and military deserters who sought refuge in Canada during the Vietnam War would ignite controversy among those seeking to immigrate to Canada, some of it provoked by the Canadian government's initial refusal to admit those who could not prove that they had been discharged from [American] military service. This changed in 1968. Draft resisters were usually college-educated sons of the middle class who could no longer defer induction into the Selective Service System. Deserters, on the other hand, were predominantly sons of the lower-income and working classes who had been inducted into the armed services directly from high school or who had volunteered, hoping to obtain a skill and broaden their limited horizons.
Starting in 1965, Canada became a choice haven for American draft resisters and deserters. Because they were not formally classified as refugees but were admitted as immigrants, there is no official estimate of how many draft resisters and deserters were admitted to Canada during the Vietnam War. One informed estimate puts their number between 30,000 and 40,000. Whether or not this estimate is accurate, the fact remains that immigration from the United States was high as long as the war raged and that in 1971 and 1972 Canada received more immigrants from the United States than from any other country. Although some of these transplanted Americans returned home after the Vietnam War, most of them put down roots in Canada, making up the largest, best-educated group this country had ever received.
Draft Resisters
Estimates vary greatly as to how many Americans settled in Canada for the specific reason of draft resisters or "evading conscription," as opposed to desertion, or other reasons. Canadian immigration statistics show that 20,000 to 30,000 draft-eligible American men came to Canada as immigrants during the Vietnam era. The BBC stated that "as many as 60,000 young American men dodged the draft." Estimates of the total number of American citizens who moved to Canada due to their opposition to the war range from 50,000 to 125,000. This exodus was "the largest politically motivated migration from the United States since the United Empire Loyalists moved north to oppose the American Revolution." Major communities of war resisters formed in Montreal, the Slocan Valley, British Columbia, and on Baldwin Street in Toronto, Ontario.
They were at first assisted by the Student Union for Peace Action, a campus-based Canadian anti-war group with connections to Students for a Democratic Society. This was led by campus chair Matthieu Charette in the United States. Canadian immigration policy at the time made it easy for immigrants from all countries to obtain legal status in Canada. By late 1967, draft resisters were being assisted primarily by several locally based anti-draft groups (over twenty of them), such as the Toronto Anti-Draft Programme. As a counselor for the Programme, Mark Satin wrote the Manual for Draft-Age Immigrants to Canada, in 1968. It sold over 100,000 copies in six editions.
The influx of these young men, who (as mentioned earlier) were often well educated and politically leftist, affected Canada's academic and cultural institutions, and Canadian society at large. These new arrivals tended to balance the "brain drain" that Canada had experienced. While some draft resisters returned to the United States after an amnesty was declared in 1977 during the administration of Jimmy Carter, roughly half of them stayed in Canada.
Prominent draft resisters who stayed in Canada permanently, or for a significant amount of time include the following:
* Jim Green- Vancouver city councillor and mayoral candidate

Deserters
Distinct from draft resisters, there were also deserters of the American forces who also made their way to Canada. There was pressure from the United States and Canada to have them arrested, or at least stopped at the border.
The deserters have not been pardoned and may still face pro forma arrest, as the case of Allen Abney demonstrated in March 2006. Another similar case was that of Richard Allen Shields: He had deserted the U.S. Army in 1972 after serving a year in Vietnam. Twenty-eight years later, in 2000, when he traveled to the U.S. he was arrested and jailed in Washington State.
Other noteworthy deserters from that era include the following:
* Andy Barrie- Host of Canadian Broadcasting Corporation Radio's Metro Morning(He later received a General Discharge from the United States Army, became a Canadian citizen, and is free to travel to the U.S.)
* Dick Cotterill
* Michael Shaffer: "After six months in the Army, my application for CO status was denied and I was told that I would be going to Vietnam. I refused to draw my weapon and was ordered court-martialed. On Labour Day 1970 I was able to escape and cross into Canada.... During President Ford's Clemency Program in 1975, I went to Fort Dix seeking the "Undesirable Discharge" offered to deserters who turned themselves in. The Army decided that I wasn't eligible and court-martial proceedings were resumed. With help from the ACLU, I was released and two years later a Federal Court ordered the Army to discharge me Honourably as a Conscientious Objector....I remained in Vancouver"
* Jack Todd - award-winning sports columnist for the Montreal Gazette
Anti-War Activism
Anti-War activities were nearly as widespread in Canada as they were in the United States, with demonstrations on most Canadian college and university campuses. In English Canada, the movement was fuelled by the draft dodgers. In Quebec, the anti-war movement was also strong, and even violent: The FLQ, a militant Quebec-separatist group, was also stridently anti-American and against the war.
One of the most visible expressions of this was at Expo 67. President Johnson was visiting for the opening of the American pavilion, which would involve a large American flag being unfurled. The FLQ secretly informed the government that anyone who tried to raise the flag would be shot. The original government plan was to use a Boy Scout to raise it, under the assumption the FLQ would not assassinate a child, but this idea was rejected and an extremely nervous Scout leader wearing a bulletproof vest did so. Although he was not shot, it was discovered upon the unfurling of the flag that the canton with the stars had been cut out by a protester.
Canadians in the U.S. Military
In counter-current to the movement American draft-dodgers and deserters to Canada, about 30,000 - 40,000 Canadians volunteered to fight in southeast Asia. Among the volunteers were fifty Mohawks from the Kahnawake reservation near Montreal. 110 Canadians died in Vietnam, and seven remain listed as Missing in Action. Canadian Peter C. Lemon was awarded the U.S. Medal of Honor for his valour in the conflict. (This cross-border enlistment was not unprecedented: In both the First and the Second World War, tens of thousands of Americans had joined the Canadian forces whilst their homeland was still neutral.)
In Windsor, Ontario, there is a privately funded monument to the Canadians killed in the Vietnam War. In Melocheville, Quebec, there is a monument site funded by the Association Québécoise des Vétérans du Vietnam. However, many Canadian veterans returned to a society that was strongly anti-war. Unlike in the United States, there were no veterans organizations nor any help from the government. Many of them moved permanently to the United States. There has been ongoing pressure from Canadian Vietnam veterans to have their comrades' deaths formally acknowledged by the government, especially in times of remembrance such as Remembrance Day.
Assistance to the Americans
Since Canada's official diplomatic position in relation to the Vietnam War was that of a non-belligerent, which imposed a ban on the export of war-related items to the combat areas. Nonetheless, Canadian industry was also a major supplier of equipment and supplies to the American forces, not sending these directly to South Vietnam but to the United States. Sold goods included relatively benign items like boots, but also munitions, napalm and commercial defoliants, the use of which was fiercely opposed by anti-war protesters at the time. In accordance with the 1958 Defence Production Sharing Agreement, Canadian industry sold $2.47 billion in war materiel to the United States between 1965 and 1973. Many of the companies were owned by US parent firms, but all export sales over $100,000 US (and thus, the majority of contracts) were arranged through the Canadian Commercial Corporation, a crown corporation which acted as an intermediary between the U.S. Department of Defence and Canadian industry. Furthermore, the Canadian and American Defense departments worked together to test chemical defoliants for use in Vietnam. Canada also allowed their NATO ally to use Canadian facilities and bases for training exercises and weapons testing as per existing treaties.
Between 28 January 1973 and 31 July 1973, Canada provided 240 peacekeeping troops to Operation Gallant, the peace keeping operation associated with the International Commission of Control and Supervision (ICCS) Vietnam, along with Hungary, Indonesia, and Poland. Their role was to monitor the cease-fire in South Vietnam per the Paris Peace Accords. After Canada's departure from the Commission, it was replaced by Iran.
After the fall of South Vietnam in 1975, thousands of refugees, known as boat people, fled Vietnam for both political and economic reasons. Canada agreed to accept many of them, in one of the largest single influxes of immigrants in Canadian history. This created a substantial Vietnamese community in Canada, concentrated especially in Vancouver and Toronto.
The Vietnam War was an important cultural turning point in Canada. Coupled with Canada's centenary in 1967 and the success of Expo 67, Canada became far more independent and nationalistic. The public, if not their representatives in parliament, became more willing to oppose the United States and to move in a different direction socially and politically.
In 1981, a government report revealed that Agent Orange, the controversial defoliant, had been tested at CFB Gagetown, New Brunswick. In June 1966, the chemical was sprayed over nearly 600 acres (2.4 km²) of forest inside the base. There are differing opinions regarding the level of toxicity of the site, but as of 2006, the Canadian government says it is planning to compensate some of those who were exposed.

One of the joys of restoring a vintage truck is the memories that come with it. Having all the credentials of a bona fide family member, old trucks bridge the gap between past and present and take on heirloom status. The thrill of driving the old family ride, one that was parked for decades and now rolling once more, is an experience few will forget.
Corby used to work in an automotive restoration shop before becoming a forklift mechanic, but. When David passed away, the family decided to restore the old truck in his memory, and Corby brought lots of experience to the task. Corby's sister, Keeli Jones from West Palm Beach, Florida, teamed up, also wanting to be part of the restoration. With Corby doing the hands-on restoration work and Keeli providing the credit card, the project was finished in less than five months.
Because the truck was always garaged, it was in wonderful shape when the restoration began. Corby smiles when he recalls that the only real issue when he started was the unexpected amount of birdseed that came flying out of the vent the first time he turned on the heater! After that, the rebuild went very smoothly, and has been documented with almost 500 photos.
With the exception of a new tailgate and floor pans, all the original panels on the truck were retained. LMC Truck provided many of the items required for the restoration, such as door rubbers, door panels, interior pieces, dash hardware, carpet, sill plates, and hood hinges—as well as headlights, taillights, hood and door emblems, chrome trim, bumpers and a set of white custom rims. Not having to visit a salvage yard or spend hours trying to rejuvenate a worn-out part meant the restoration process was much simpler.
Corby did almost everything himself, leaving only a few items to the pros. Daryl Underwood, a good friend in Louisville, shot the PPG Rangoon Red and Wimbledon White in his garage. The 1969 428 Cobra Jet motor, rebuilt by Jimmy Mattingly in Bardstown, Kentucky, runs a Holley 750 carb, Speed Pro 10:1 pistons, Comp Cam, MSD Street Pro ignition, and Flowtech headers, creating a strong 425 horsepower. The Ford three-on-the-tree trans gets the power to the ground. Only minor suspension tweaks were required, with Corby upgrading the Ford Twin I-beam front suspension and strong 9-inch Ford rear with a set of modern Monroe shocks to stabilize all four corners.
The custom 15×8-inch wheels roll on 275/60R15 Goodyear rubber. Paul's Auto Upholstery in Shelbyville, Kentucky, added the finishing touches to the interior, covering the stock bench seat with red vinyl, adding a black vinyl custom headliner and LMC Truck black carpet. LMC Truck seatbelts keep driver and passenger secure. The Kenwood stereo adds to the fun and Corby says the vintage Ford is the perfect cruise night vehicle.
Although Corby was not connected with the plate numbers, he does get to drive the truck, so he's smiling as well. What's the family's reaction to the completed truck? Keeli sums it up saying, "When we look at this truck, it just screams Daddy. It reminds us of our father, with sights, sounds and smells that trigger wonderful memories." The first trip with the new truck was a very special occasion. Waiting patiently to see the rejuvenated F-100 were mom Linda, sister Tangee, and brother Clete. It was fitting that they joined Corby and Keeli on a visit to the cemetery so that Modean and the family could say hi to Dad.


What is Andy Goldsworthy's artwork based on?
Or who was he inspired by?
Best Answer: Andy Goldsworthy's work can be seen as developing from Land Art.
"Also known as Earth art. It can be seen as part of the wider Conceptual art movement in the 1960s and 1970s. Land artists began working directly in the landscape, sculpting it into earthworks or making structures with rocks or twigs. Some of them used mechanical earth-moving equipment, but Richard Long simply walked up and down until he had made a mark in the earth. Land art was usually documented in artworks using photographs and maps which the artist could exhibit in a gallery. Land artists also made Land art in the gallery by bringing in material from the landscape and using it to create installations. The most famous land art work is Robert Smithson's Spiral Jetty of 1970, an earthwork built out into the Great Salt Lake in the USA. Other Land artists include Walter de Maria, Michael Heizer and Dennis Oppenheim. Many others have made land art works. "
"For me looking, touching, material, place and form are all inseparable from the resulting work. It is difficult to say where one stops and another begins. Place is found by walking, direction determined by weather and season. I take the opportunity each day offers: if it is snowing, I work in snow, at leaf-fall it will be leaves; a blown over tree becomes a source of twigs and branches.
The energy and space around a material are as important as the energy and the space within. The weather—rain, sun, snow, hail, calm—is that external space made visible. When I touch a rock, I am touching and working the space around it. It is not independent of its surroundings and the way it sits tells how it came to be there. In an effort to understand why that rock is there and where it is going, I must work with it in the area in which I found it.
I have become aware of raw nature is in a state of change and how that change is the key to understanding. I want my art to be sensitive and alert to changes in material, season and weather. Often I can only follow a train of thought while a particular weather condition persists. When a change comes, the idea must alter or it will, and often does, fail. I am sometimes left stranded by a change in the weather with half-understood feelings that have to travel with me until conditions are right for them to appear. All forms are to be found in nature, and there are many qualities within any material. By exploring them I hope to understand the whole. My work needs to include the loose and disordered within the nature of material as well as the tight and regular.
At its most successful, my 'touch' looks into the heart of nature; most days I don't even get close. These things are all part of the transient process that I cannot understand unless my touch is also transient—only in this way can the cycle remain unbroken and the process complete. I cannot explain the importance to me of being part of the place, its seasons and changes. Fourteen years ago I made a line of stones in Morecambe Bay. It is still there, buried under the sand, unseen. All my work still exists in some form.
My approach to photography is kept simple, almost routine. All work, good and bad, is documented. I use standard film, a standard lens and no filters. Each work grows, strays, decays—integral parts of a cycle which the photograph shows at its height, marking the moment when the work is most alive. There is an intensity about a work at its peak that I hope is expresses in the image. Process and decay are implicit."

Q: unit of a ring distinct from neutral element in a subset-group If we examine the set $H$ of square matrices of order $2$ of the form $ M(x) := \begin{pmatrix}
x & x \\
x & x
\end{pmatrix}$, we notice that the identity matrix isn't there. but still this set has a neutral element with respect to matrix multiplication, that is $M\left(\frac 12 \right)$.
Now if we restrict ourselves to nonzero matrices, we see that this set is even a group under matrix multiplication though no matrix of $H$ is invertible in the usual sense.
I'd like to know how normal is this situation and look forward to get more information about that. Thanks.

A: I don't know exactly what you mean by "how normal" it is (perhaps "how unusual"?) but I can assure you that this happens a lot more than you think.
The thing is that we are used to "nice" operations that we see every day. But really, if you had some group $G$, and a set $X$, you could take whatever arbitrary bijection you want $f:G\to X$ and make $X$ a group by declaring that
$x\cdot y:=f(f^{-1}(x) f^{-1}(y))$
(The dot is the new multiplication, juxtaposition denotes the old multiplication. The same thing works for rings, but of course you're transporting both operations.)  This is called transportation of structure from $G$ to $X$.
In particular, you could take the group of nonzero real numbers and the map $x\mapsto \frac{x}{2}$, and you get this perfectly defined group structure on the nonzero real numbers that has the peculiar identity:
$x\cdot\frac{1}{2}:=\frac{1}{2}(2x2\frac{1}{2})=x$.
Notice where the identity of the group of nonzero reals is being mapped: $1\mapsto \frac12$.
That's essentially what's happening here, except that it's disguised with matrix multiplication in $x\mapsto \begin{bmatrix}\frac{x}{2}&\frac{x}{2}\\ \frac{x}{2}&\frac{x}{2}\end{bmatrix}$.
The thing that makes this example somewhat striking is that the "weird" transported multiplication is linked with this ordinary multiplication (matrix multiplication.)
Actually, if you leave the zero matrix in, you'll find that this is a subring of $M_2(\mathbb R)$ that is (ring) isomorphic to $\mathbb R$.

A: One can generate a large class of examples that includes this one.
First, a standard computation gives the Jordan form of the matrix $M(x)$ and the matrix via which it is similar to $M(x)$:
$$M(x) = \pmatrix{\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}}^{-1} \pmatrix{2x&0\\0&0}\underbrace{\pmatrix{\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}\\-\frac{1}{2}&\frac{1}{2}}}_P .$$
The Jordan normal form suggests writing $M(\frac{1}{2} x) = P^{-1} \pmatrix{x&0\\0&0} P$, so we see immediately that
\begin{align}
M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} x\right) + M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} y\right)
&= P^{-1} \pmatrix{x&0\\0&0} P + P^{-1} \pmatrix{y&0\\0&0} P\\
&= P^{-1} \pmatrix{x + y&0\\0&0} P\\
&= M\left(\tfrac{1}{2}(x + y)\right)
\end{align}
and
\begin{align}
M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} x\right) M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} y\right)
&= P^{-1} \pmatrix{x&0\\0&0} P \cdot P^{-1} \pmatrix{y&0\\0&0} P \\
&= P^{-1} \pmatrix{x&0\\0&0} \pmatrix{y&0\\0&0} P \\
&= P^{-1} \pmatrix{x y&0\\0&0} P \\
&= M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} x y\right) .
\end{align}
Thus
$$x \mapsto M\left(\tfrac{1}{2} x\right)$$
is a ring homomorphism $$(\Bbb F, +, \cdot) \to \left(\left\{\pmatrix{x&x\\x&x}\right\}, +, \cdot\right) ,$$ where $\Bbb F$ is the field underlying the matrix ring (necessarily not of characteristic $2$, so that the element $\frac{1}{2}$ is available). It's easy to check that it is surjective, so this is actually a ring isomorphism.
Now, $+$ and $\cdot$ denote (the restrictions of) the usual matrix multiplication and addition map, but $\left(\left\{\pmatrix{x&x\\x&x}\right\}, +, \cdot\right)$ is not a subring of $M(2, \Bbb F)$, because (as you observed) the neutral elements are not the same. By varying the coefficient of $x$ in the Jordan normal form and varying $P$ among the invertible elements, we get a large family of rings, all isomorphic to $\Bbb F$.
Much more generally, a bijection $\Phi: R \to S$ between the set underlying a ring $(R, +, \cdot)$ and a set $S$ induces a ring structure $(\oplus, \odot)$ on $S$ by regarding $\Phi$ as an identification, namely defining, $$s \oplus s' := \Phi(\Phi^{-1}(s) + \Phi^{-1}(s')), \qquad s \odot s' := \Phi(\Phi^{-1}(s) \cdot \Phi^{-1}(s')) .$$ (Similar constructions work for any admissible algebraic structure.)
In our case, $R = \Bbb F$, $\Phi = M$ and $S = \Phi(R)$. (It is an instructive exercise to work out the rather peculiar-looking ring operations for the choices $R = S = \Bbb R$ and $\Phi : x \mapsto x - 1$, for example.)
What is relatively special about the class of examples constructed above is that the induced maps $\oplus$ and $\odot$ are restrictions of familiar operations, namely, matrix addition and multiplication.


Documentation and research are the core of every preservation project. We provide research services to construct thorough property histories, develop chain of title, and document building changes over time. Through field surveys, we generate measured drawings of buildings to serve as base drawings for condition surveys or architectural interventions. The quality of our work meets standards for HABS/HAER documentation and SHPO Guidelines for Historic Resource Surveys.
Condition assessments are graphic documentation that record the existing material conditions of a structure and identify localized areas of deterioration. Through field surveys, we generate condition assessments of buildings and monuments, which are a first step in formulating plans for conservation treatments. We can develop a prioritized list of necessary repairs based on immediate, short-term, and long-term needs. In addition we can provide repair budget numbers for planning purposes.
Historic Structure Reports form a foundation for preservation planning efforts. We offer archival research and report-writing services to document history, materials, existing conditions, and significance of historic structures.
Listing on the National Register of Historic Places provides recognition for significant historic buildings, as well as opportunities for certain preservation incentives. We perform research and compose National Register nominations for historic property owners.
Federal and state tax credits can help defray the cost of major historic preservation projects. Tax credit projects require extensive documentation of existing buildings and architectural interventions. We offer guidance through the tax credit process and assistance in completing the necessary documentation to secure tax credits.
The study of the historic finishes provides a record of early color schemes and alterations to the building over time, and can inform the selection of restoration colors. Finish studies will result in a complete report with photomicrographs of paint cross sections in both reflected and ultraviolet light. Color matching to modern paint lines and pigment identification are also available upon request.
The analysis of historic materials aids in the selection of mechanically, chemically, and aesthetically compatible repair materials. In addition, laboratory and in-situ analysis can help identify causes of deterioration. Our lab is equipped for petrographic and wet-chemical analysis of mortar, stucco, and plaster materials. We also formulate replication mixes for masonry restoration and carry out a variety of tests to study the properties of historic materials to determine the most appropriate interventions.
Our conservators take on the implementation of small scale, specialized conservation treatments including consolidation of finishes, plaster, and stone; composite repair and injection grouting of voids and cracks in masonry and cementitious materials; and masonry cleaning.
Consolidation is the treatment of a stone, mortar, or ceramic with a material to restore the mechanical properties after they have been degraded by weathering. Before undertaking a conservation program involving consolidation or cleaning, it is imperative to perform testing and/or mock-ups to determine the most appropriate products and application methods. We perform consolidation and cleaning tests in the field and in the laboratory.
Paint microscopy begins with an on-site investigation and removal of paint samples. Sample locations are selected through careful examination of the building, sometimes combined with archival research, to determine sample locations that will provide the most useful information about the paint history of the building. Exposures using mechanical or chemical means is often helpful to determine the best sample locations. This tool is also useful in the later stages of a paint study for confirming findings observed in cross-sections, uncovering decorative painting schemes, and matching historic finishes to modern paint lines.
After an on-site sampling, paint samples are brought back to the Meadors laboratory for examination, processing, and analysis. Following examination with a low-power stereomicroscope, the most intact samples are selected for analysis. Samples are cast into resin cubes, cut into cross-sections, polished, and mounted onto microscope slides for analysis.
Microscopic analysis of paint cross-sections is performed with a compound fluorescence microscope with magnifications ranging from 40-400 times. Cross-sections are examined and photographed in both reflected and ultraviolet light. The use of ultraviolet illumination provides information that cannot always be gleaned from reflected visible light alone. Ultraviolet light can help identify varnishes and shellacs, binder types, and pigments through autofluorescence and staining. It can also help distinguish between sequences of paint layers that might not be easily differentiated in reflected light. The result of paint analysis is a well-documented report with photomicrographs of each sample in both reflected and ultraviolet light.
Physical and chemical analysis of historic mortars, stuccos, and plaster is an important part of architectural conservation. Although the creation of these materials has become standardized today, the formulations used during the original construction of many historic structures were highly variable and depended on the individual mason or plasterer making it necessary to perform such laboratory testing on each specific rehabilitation project. The goal of an analysis is to determine the original components and formulations of the material as well as understand the possible causes for deterioration and failure. Testing begins with sampling on site in order to obtain materials for laboratory testing and assess the current deterioration conditions.
Following on-site sampling, mortar and render samples are brought back to the laboratory and are categorized visually under a microscope with visible light to describe the texture, appearance, and color. Depending on the level of analysis necessary, samples are can be analyzed petrographically and/or tested using wet-digestion methods.
During acid digestion, calcareous materials such as lime are dissolved while the insoluble portions like quartz aggregate and clay fines remain. Percentages of each are calculated based on the original weight and the aggregate is sieved to determine the range of particle sizes in the original material. At the end of analysis, the data is interpreted in order to determine the historic formulation and make recommendations for an appropriate replication mix. A report labeling all sampling, testing, and recommendations is produced and can then be given to a qualified mason or plasterer to use on a specific project.
Consolidation and cleaning are two common methods employed to conserve and protect historic stone masonry and terra-cotta. Cleaning of historic materials involves safely removing years of pollution and biological growth from the surface of the stone to dramatically reveal original finishes and surfaces once hidden beneath layers of dirt. When a stone requires the impartation of additional strength without the insertion of pins, a consolidant is typically applied to the surface of the stone. Prior to any action, it is essential to understand the mechanisms behind deterioration in order to alleviate them prior to treatment.
Analysis begins with a characterization of the stone through petrographic analysis and materials research. Historic photos provide an excellent estimate of deterioration rates. Samples are created from the original or a facsimile, and the product is applied to the sample according to manufacturer's instructions and left to cure. Similar products are applied in order to allow for comparison.

Israel Houghton is a Christian worship leader mostly known for his cross-cultural style of worship music that fuses elements from Gospel music, Jazz and Rock. Houghton is usually credited as Israel & New Breed. His project Alive in South Africa, recorded live in Cape Town, received a Grammy Award for "Best Traditional Gospel Album" in 2007 and a song from the album, "Not Forgotten", recieved a Dove Award for "Contemporory Gospel Recorded Song" in 2006. Both his album Live from Another Level and rendition of "Again I Say Rejoice" received a Dove in 2005.
Selah is a Christian band that has been featured on The 700 Club, The Hour of Power, and TBN. The original 3-person line up consisted of Nicol Sponberg, Allan Hall, and Todd Smith. Their success came quick when they released their first album, Be Still My Soul, in 1999, and would win a Dove Award for that album soon afterwards. They quickly earned a reputation for being able to reveal the heart of any song they record  with their music, doing well-known covers of already-famous songs such as "You Raise Me Up" by Josh Groban and "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts.
There are at least two bands with the name Delirious?. One plays trance and another is an English Christian rock and worship band formed in 1993 in Littlehampton (UK). The lineup consists of Martin Smith on vocals and guitar, Stuart Garrard (also known as Stu G) on guitar and backing vocals, Jon Thatcher on bass guitar, Tim Jupp on keys and piano, and Paul Evans on drums and percussion (after previous drummer Stew Smith left the band to pursue his design work in May 2008).
Shawn McDonald is a 28-year-old Seattle singer-songwriter. Shawn mixes his Christian background with abundant musical talent as an acoustic guitarist to create moving storylike epics and praising anthems for the Christian world and beyond.
Bleach is the name of more than one band; There is a blistering all-girl Japanese rock trio, an American rock group (see below), as well as a British group (see below). They all redirect here. == Bleach (JP) == Bleach (alternatively called Bleach03 or Bleachmobile) was an all-female punk trio from Okinawa, Japan. The members included, Kanna on guitar and vocals, Miya on bass and Sayuri on drums. Kanna was the primary lyricist. Citing artistic differences, Bleach disbanded on June 10, 2009, less than a month before the release of their final album "bleach stone."

There is more than one artist with this name: 1) Petra is a Christian Rock band formed in 1972 by Bob Hartman, Bill Glover, John DeGroff, and Greg Hough. "Petra" means "rock" in NT Greek, making the band name a triple pun. Rising from the jesus music movement, and initially signed to Myrrh Records, they fought to gain acceptance and recognition in a church culture that at the time believed rock music to be off-limits.
There are multiple (12 in all) bands with the name Avalon: 1. Avalon is an American Contemporary Christian music vocal quartet. To date, the group has achieved multiple RIAA-certified Gold record albums, have sold 4 million copies and scored 22 #1 Christian hits. Avalon was formed in 1995 by Grant Cunningham, A&R Director at Sparrow Records. Cunningham was in search of a vocalist group that could sing tight harmonies and carry God's message to the world. Cunningham publicized his intentions and demo tapes flooded him, but nothing fit his desires.

OGAE (UK) 1998 Eurosong Convention.
Yes star of Two Eurovision Song Contests (1984 & 1992) and appeared on an Irish stamp, Linda Martin will be performing on the Saturday night at this years convention.
"Last December I was taken on a surprise trip to Dublin for my birthday. I knew the trip was going to have some Eurovision connection but until we landed at Dublin I wasn�t sure just what was in store for me. Although I enjoy many things about the contest it is the song and the performer that are my foremost interest. My all-time favourite entry is "Terminal 3" by Linda Martin because to me it�s the perfect combination of a meaningful song sung with feeling. So it won�t come as a surprise to learn that my Dublin trip turned out to be the chance to see Linda Martin performing live. Once the secret was out I was an excited bundle of nerves, meeting people you admire doesn�t always turn out the way you�d imagined, so it was with a heady mix of adrenalin and anxiety that I arrived at the Regency Hotel with my partner and some more Eurovision friends.
Although I�ve never been a fan of Dinner Dances the Regency Hotel provided us with an excellent three course Christmas dinner, that was not only hot but expertly served. Apparently Linda was aware that a group of Eurovision fans were amongst the audience and she kindly allowed me to use my camcorder during her performance. I was even given a prime position to film Linda�s act but in the excitement I forgot to actually record anything until halfway through her opening number, and what a way to start a show! Linda�s dancers, Kim and Fifi, came through the double doors first dressed as showgirls but it was Linda�s breathtaking Carmen Miranda style outfit that left me breathless and stopped me remembering to press the �record� button. These stunning outfits heralded "Copacabana" (I later discovered that the costumes had been designed for the London stage show) and from the first syllable I was captivated. What makes her shows so special is the fact that Linda Martin makes everybody feel as if she�s known them for years.
Throughout the night Linda referred to various individuals by their first name, even if she was reading from guests requests and letters, and radiated a warmth that made us all feel like old friends. After the dazzling opening Linda slipped into something a little more slinky and continued with three Drifters classics before getting the audience on their feet with rousing renditions of "I�m So Excited" and "Walking On Sunshine". It was then time to slow things down but before she did Linda introduced her �friends from the Eurovision fan club� and the launched into a performance of "Why Me" that had the hairs on the back of neck standing up and applauding! After this she disappeared and returned in a different dress for a storming version of "The Best". This was followed by a clutch of oldies including a Rock�n�Roll medley, which proved just how versatile her voice is, and had the crowd up on their feet again. Linda finished this section with another nerve tingling performance. This time it was the Patsy Cline classic "Crazy" that made you wonder why Linda Martin hasn�t been more acclaimed Internationally. Whether it�s ballads or uptempo songs that Linda�s singing the audience don�t get a chance to leave the dance floor, even when she leaves the stage for another change of dress her drummer, Nigel, keeps the party going with his performance of Garth Brooks and R.Kelly songs.
By now Linda had been on the stage for over an hour, but the party was just about to reach a new peak, for when she returned Linda launched into a medley of Abba hits which had the audience in such a frenzy that it felt like we�d all self combust at any minute! A live show by Linda will leave you speechless and exhausted because she supplies you with an energy that just defies your body to stop and rest. The Abba medley was swiftly followed by "I Will Survive", "The Macarena", "Let�s Twist Again", "Do The Hucklebuck" and "YMCA". Yes a live show by Linda Martin takes no prisoners! When you see Linda performing you�ll notice that she appears to be enjoying herself as much as audience. This could be the enthusiastic crowd, or the intoxicating performance she provides, but I think it�s the fact that Linda Martin is the perfect example of that Irish proverb that �there are no strangers only friends we haven�t met�.
After nearly two hours she closed the evening with a moving medley of Christmas favourites it was a magical ending to an unforgettable night. Although it was gone 2am in the morning, and we had to be up at 8am to catch our plane, we were told by Linda�s management to stop back and Linda would come and meet us. Well I was in seventh heaven as this truly wonderful lady sat and chatted the morning away with us. Despite having just performed for over two hours Linda seemed unaffected and was relaxed and chatty. We talked about the fact that she didn�t usually perform "Terminal 3" live because it needed an orchestra to do the song and Bill Whelan�s arrangement justice and about her animal sanctuary she has recently set up. We chatted about Katie Boyle, Linda McCartney, the Carter Twins and Dustin the Turkey but eventually we had to leave. My only disappointment was the discovery that there is no �Terminal 3� at Dublin Airport so bang went my photo opportunity. My thanks to Clive, Ronan, Ivor, Jan, Tommy, Martin and Billy for being part of such an unforgettable weekend and to the Regency Hotel for their hospitality. Finally my thanks to Linda Martin for being a true star and making me feel so special."

Willie Nelson struggles with age, depth of catalog on Band Of Brothers
Marah Eakin
Willie Nelson has a problem. It's not weed; it's age. Like Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Bob Dylan, and Neil Young before him—or after him, even—Nelson is running up against the burden of his own material. Simply put: He's got too many great songs.
Having written and recorded so many winners is a blessed burden to have, for sure, but it's also entirely real. Nelson's latest record, Band Of Brothers, is his 48th full-length LP, his first being 1962's …And Then I Wrote. He's written and recorded dozens of timeless and amazing songs over the past 50 years, including but not limited to tracks like "Crazy," "Blue Eyes Crying In the Rain," "Always On My Mind," "To All The Girls I've Loved Before," "Whiskey River," "City Of New Orleans," "Roll Me Up," "Me And Paul," and "On The Road Again," and he's become an icon not only for his music but also for his lefty politics in his old age. So where does he go from here?
Band Of Brothers is an attempt to answer that question. The record is Nelson's first composed predominantly of original material since 1996's Spirit and contains nine entirely new songs. While nothing on the record is as rollicking as any of Nelson's old outlaw material, it's made up of solid tracks all the same. The first single, "The Wall," is actually the album's weakest track, its repeating chorus getting a little stale with time. In contrast, tracks like "I Thought I Left You," "Wives And Girlfriends," and "Crazy Like Me" are sharp and funny, with Nelson's famous wit shining through on lines like "I love my wives and I love my girlfriends, but may they never meet." Nelson also goes for the heart on mortality-focused tracks like "Guitar In The Corner," musing, "The past is just a smoke ring in the air." Nothing on Band Of Brothers ever really rises above the loping pace of "Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain," but that's okay, especially considering Nelson is more of a stoner than a shit-starter at this point in his career.
Band Of Brothers' highlight is "The Songwriters," a track written not by Nelson but by Gordie Sampson and Bill Anderson. Detailing both the plight and the prowess of a songwriter for hire, the track works as an apt ode to Nelson's entrance into country music all those years ago, with Sampson and Anderson's words accurately describing Nelson (and others) as "schemers, lovers, sometimes fighters," and as both "true love but mostly one-nighters."
Unfortunately for Nelson, Band Of Brothers isn't the country legend's best album of all time. It's pretty good at best, a must only for reasonably hardcore Nelson fans. Fortunately for the music-listening public, though, that's just fine. Band is hardly Nelson's first (or last?) record, and there are plenty of other songs and records from the Red Headed Stranger to check out should this particular LP not hit home for any given listener. All that material might be a burden for Nelson, but for listeners, it's a blessing.

We Investigated Her Legal Background and Attorney Megyn Kelly's No 'Bimbo'
Rachel StockmanJan 28th, 2016, 4:51 pm
The (mostly one-sided) showdown between Donald Trump and Megyn Kelly continues to dominate the cable news headlines. Trump has called Kelly a "bimbo," "a lightweight reporter," and a "third-rate" journalist. The name calling is not just limited to the Republican hopeful. Just this week, at least 423 twitter accounts tweeted at Megyn – calling her a bitch. 34 different accounts have targeted Kelly with the "c" word."
So we decided to do a little digging on the legal front. What we found? That Fox News Anchor Megyn Kelly is no bimbo in the legal or any other sense of the word. In fact, her law professor told LawNewz.com that she was brilliant and a rising star. A partner at her former high-profile law firm called her a legal "perfectionist."
Kelly earned a JD from Albany Law School in 1995 after piling on $100,000 in debt.
"She was an absolutely terrific student, thoughtful and based upon her academic abilities, I always thought she was going to be the next great female trial lawyer in the United States," Michael Hutter, Kelly's professor at the Albany Law School told LawNewz.com.
Kelly was in several of Hutter's classes including evidence.
"I think what's going on is ridiculous. Megyn has always been professional. She has never resorted to cheap shots," Hutter said.
Megyn went on to work as a law associate at Bickel & Brewer LLP (now known as Brewer Attorneys & Counselors). There she co-wrote an article for the prestigious American Bar Association Journal about the conflicting role of a lawyer who wants to sit on their client's board of directors.
"Megyn was a talented lawyer and a gifted advocate," said William Brewer, a partner at Brewer, Attorneys & Counselors. "Even in the early days of her career, you could tell she was going to be successful in anything she chose to do."
After her stint there, Kelly accepted a competitive job as an associate at the well-respected Jones Day law firm. There, she worked in the firm's litigation practice in three different cities. She defended some big time clients like Experian. Greg Castanias, a partner at the firm, told LawNewz.com that he oversaw Megyn's work.
"I knew that I would not have to wake up at night worrying — which is basically the gold standard of what an associate needs to do — keep a partner from waking up in the middle of the night worrying," Castanias told LawNewz.com
"She was intense and a perfectionist. Her written work was extremely careful, and well-written. She had an instinct for litigation which was ahead of her years of practice," he said.
As for the current controversy with Trump, attorneys who we spoke to both on and off the record say there is absolutely no merit to the accusation that she is substandard.
"It would be very hard to suggest to the world that Megyn is any sort of lightweight. The word 'bimbo' I won't even honor it by commenting on that," Castanias said.

Visual Art Performance
25 novembre 2022 h. 21:00
Brindisi Ex Convento S. Chiara
Performance reserved for women, transgender, homosexual, fluid, non-binary
The performance, made on the occasion of the World Day against Violence against Women, wants to have a symbolic value. Reversing the most classic of situations, that is 'nude model - dressed photographer', Werther Germondari, albeit with his usual ironic and desecrating air, wants to try to restore to women some of the dignity that has always been denied by the male gender throughout history . In fact, it has always been the male figure who literally and psychologically strips the woman, making her a simple puppet and object of desire, to the detriment of the respect that must be shown not only as a woman, but above all as a 'person'. In fact, therefore, during the performance Werther Germondari will take photos as in a normal photographic session, of all the women present who wish to. But in this case the women photographed will be fully dressed, while the photographer, Werther Germondari, will be completely naked.

Reading Dan Aubrey's excellent March 28 cover story "Adventures in Light and Color: Piecing Together Stained Glass History," I was delighted to see the photo of the Tiffany window of St. George and the Dragon at Princeton United Methodist Church because I am among the volunteer tour guides there. I've delved into its fascinating history and artistry but knew little about the other glass artists represented in the more than two dozen locations he described.
PrincetonUMC offers free window tours on Sundays, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., and individual and group tours are available by appointment (609-924-2613, www.PrincetonUMC.org). Volunteers also keep the doors open for a couple of hours on Fridays, Saturdays, and some weekdays at noon. PrincetonUMC is at 7 Vandeventer Avenue (on the corner of Nassau Street across from the Garden Theater).
Window tours are just one of the dozens of ways that PrincetonUMC opens its building; many groups meet here. The Cornerstone Community Kitchen offers free meals on Wednesdays (5 to 6:30 p.m.) For most meetings people enter through doors that open onto the Park Place parking lot. However, the entrance door on Vandeventer Avenue leads to the Feed Truck Cafe. This "pop up coffee house" operates on Thursdays, during April, from 7 p.m. to midnight and welcomes everyone.
Window tour visitors come from nearby and around the world to marvel at the window signed by the studio of Louis Comfort Tiffany. The subject, Saint George, is unusual for a Protestant church; it honors a Princeton University student who had an untimely death in the 1890s. It evokes many stories, including how its donor, a Methodist minister, could afford such an expensive memorial and why he chose that subject. On the esthetic side, the artists did not use paint; they etched details with acid. And then there is the connection to women in the labor movement. As described in current research about glass worker Clara Driscoll, Tiffany's female artists competed with the male employees and often surpassed them in artistry and productivity.
Former Tiffany artist Louis Lederle designed another PrincetonUMC window that takes one's breath away, a wall-size triptych, "Jesus and the Little Children." In a very different style, "Christ at Heart's Door" was designed after a Victorian-era painting. In the main sanctuary the unsigned portraits of the Gospel writers are exactly the same as those in the Cologne Cathedral.
Some visitors are curious about these treasures; many have their own stories to tell, and some enter to meditate or pray. Often they say our century-old house of worship has been a blessing to them. It is a joy to see that, whenever we prop the doors open, people stream in.
