Editorial: A surprising candidate to oversee Bexar County bail hearings
Opinion // Editorials
Express-News Editorial Board Nov. 16, 2019 Updated: Nov. 16, 2019 6:49 p.m.
Jack Ule was homeless when he died in the Bexar County Adult Detention Center in April. He was there on a $500 bond and never received public defender representation at his bail hearing.
If there is a symbol of the need for criminal justice reform in Bexar County, it is the handling of the Jack Ule case this spring.
Ule was a homeless man who made his way from Ohio to San Antonio and then died in the Bexar County jail. He was schizophrenic and arrested for criminal trespass on April 4 at University Hospital, where he had recently been discharged. He was watching TV.
Because Ule was mentally ill and indigent, he was the perfect candidate for representation by the Bexar County Public Defender's Office at his bail hearing. At the time, the public defender was specifically tasked with representing mentally ill indigent defendants. But the public defender never represented Ule because his hearing moved so fast. He entered the county's Justice Intake and Assessment Center at 2:30 a.m., and an hour later Judge Celeste Ramirez set Ule's bail at $500.
He died in Bexar County Jail two weeks later. Perhaps Ule would have died anyway, but the point is he would have benefited from representation, and as Bexar County Sheriff Javier Salazar has said, Ule should never have been in jail.
Ule's tragic case underscored two needed reforms in the Bexar County criminal justice system. First, that all bail hearings should be contested. That is, prosecutors should be there, but so should defense attorneys. A public defender might have told Ramirez about Ule's mental health or argued against the $500 bond because of his indigence.
Second, it underscored the need for bail reform, at least for low-level nonviolent charges. The inherent inequality of cash bail is that it does not assess a person's risk to the public but simply a person's wealth. If Ule could have paid $500 to secure his pretrial release, would the community have been less safe?
Ule's death prompted the county, this spring, to abruptly move all magistration to the city of San Antonio, where there would be contested bail hearings and more mental health evaluations.
But months have passed and the county is poised to once again oversee bail hearings, at least for those defendants not arrested by the city. The county's district judges have embraced continuing contested bail hearings and ensuring "financial consideration" for bonds, District Judge Ron Rangel told us.
Surprisingly, the person widely viewed as most likely to serve as presiding magistrate for the county is Ramirez, the judge who oversaw the Ule bail hearing.
In her application for the job, Ramirez praised bail reform, contested bail hearings and mental health evaluations.
"An arrested person now has the benefit of a Public Defender to argue for his or her ability to post bond that takes into account a person's financial ability, employment, and any other issues that need to be taken into consideration in the setting of the bond," she wrote.
Now, we recognize the benefit of hindsight and that no one should be judged on one decision or one case. But the difference between what Ramirez wrote and how she handled the Ule case is striking, and this matters because it raises questions about the substance of the reforms she would implement.
Ramirez told us she was following policies and priorities of the previous presiding magistrate, Michael Ugarte. And she expressed remorse.
"It really was a learning experience," she said. "I hate that it ended the way it did for him because that's very sad."
She also emphasized her experience as a longtime magistrate who could identify gaps in the system and hopefully prevent future tragedies while working closely with Rangel.
Maybe so, but it's also important for county officials to recognize and consider the reaction to this.
"That's a little bit surprising and actually shocking they would bring her back like that," said Joseph Ule, who is Jack Ule's brother and lives in Kansas City.
Bexar County Commissioner Kevin Wolff told us, "I can't believe this is the only person in the county that is qualified to do this job."
In interviews, numerous other county officials said they have spoken at length with Ramirez about the Ule case and are satisfied with her answers to their questions. But at the least, these concerns should be discussed in public before the county moves forward. The reforms are welcome and overdue, but is Ramirez the right person to implement them?

Why Fairmount Santrol (FMSA) Stock Is Jumping Today
Fairmount Santrol (FMSA) stock is soaring on Thursday morning after announcing a 25 million share offering and a Piper Jaffray upgrade.
Kaya Yurieff
Jul 21, 2016 10:29 AM EDT
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Fairmount Santrol (FMSA) are rising 7.64% to $6.62 on heavy trading volume Thursday morning after the company announced a 25 million share offering and was upgraded at Piper Jaffray.
After yesterday's market close, the Chesterland, OH-based company announced the pricing of its underwritten public offering of 25 million shares of common stock for total gross proceeds of about $148.75 million.
Piper Jaffray raised its rating on shares to "overweight" from "neutral" and maintained its $8 price target, the Fly reports.
The firm cited the 25 million share offering as the reason for the upgrade, which it views as a deleveraging event.
Piper Jaffray also has a positive outlook on the frac sand market.
Last week, the stock tumbled after releasing preliminary results for the 2016 second quarter.
Fairmount Santrol is a provider of high-performance sand and sand-based products used by oil and gas exploration and production companies to boost productivity of their wells.
About 10.32 million of the company's shares changed hands so far today vs. its average 30-day volume of 2.15 million shares per day.

Madagascar launches online research network 0
ANTANANARIVO – Madagascar has launched an online research network, the Research and Education Network for Academic Learning Activities (iRENALA), which aims to boost science, technology and education in the country, as well as internationalise its science.
The network, launched earlier this month (8 June), will promote discussions between worldwide researchers, students and policymakers, and facilitate access to digitised documents available in virtual libraries, according to Horace Gatien, president of Toamasina University. It will also encourage remote learning in the higher education sector, he said.
According to a statement issued at a government cabinet meeting last month (30 May), the project aims to forge new links between Madagascar's six state universities, three higher institutes of technology, the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and all national research centres.
iRENALA will also connect Madagascar to a cluster of worldwide networks through GÉANT, an existing pan-European research and education network, which connects 40 million users in over 8,000 institutions worldwide.
"Madagascar is one of five African countries … [privileged] with such an opportunity", said Ny Hasina Andriamanjato, the Malagasy minister of post, telecommunications and new technologies.
Andriamanjato added that the network is part of wider movement of digitising African universities, an idea launched by African researchers during a France-Africa summit held in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso, in December 1996.
The project stems from an agreement signed in December 2011 between the government and Telma, an Internet and mobile phone service provider, which functions via the high speed fibre optic cable running through the Eastern African Submarine Cable System.
"Learning and research activities are destined to improve, despite the fact that Malagasy universities are poorly equipped with infrastructure and resources," the Malagasy prime minister, Jean Omer Beriziky, said at the launch. "We will produce many more experts capable of taking the country forward and ending poverty within 20 years."
Patrick Pisal-Hamida, chief executive of Telma, said at the launch: "From today, a new era has begun for the higher education system in Madagascar. A fundamental stage has been reached, thanks to the digitalising of the universities and other institutions involved in research."
Etienne Hilaire Razafindehibe, minister of higher education and scientific research, said the iRENALA association was created to ensure effective use of the network, but he added that users will have to pay to access the network.

"The Phoenix" New Year's Day classic meet
Chevy Rick's photos | Tazet's photos | Manky Monkey's photos
The Phoenix Inn sits beside the A30 in Hartley Wintney, Hampshire, halfway between Basingstoke & Camberley. It's a traditional coaching inn & has been a regular resting place for travellers on the London Road since the 1670s. With the rising popularity of motoring in the early 1900s though, it found a whole new clientele.
In the 1930s the landlord Tim Carson, a Vauxhall enthusiast, & a group of friends, founded the Vintage Sports Car Club. Nearly 80 years later, the club still meet there. They're regularly joined by the Lancia club, the Fraser Nash club, the Morgan club, the Lagonda club, the Jaguar club, the MG club, the Fiat club, the Lotus 7 club, the NG owners club, the TR30C owners, the Vintage Minor Register & the Model T Register. Pretty illustrious company.
So it's no surprise that the annual New Year's Day vehicle meet attracts some of the rarest & most beautiful cars in the country. It's wonderful to witness so many of the legendary marques of the British motoring industry being driven & enjoyed as they were meant to be. Most of these vehicles would normally only be seen as lovingly tended museum pieces. Indeed, one of the most striking visitors of the day was an enormous 1915 Thornycroft lorry, liberated from its regular home in Basingstoke's Milestones Museum & driven with great gusto through the A30 holiday traffic. The Thornycroft factory was once a major employer in Basingstoke. Another Hampshire built machine, a Gordon Keeble coupe was tucked away behind the pub –one of only 100 ever built. 95 of them are still on the road.
With an Aston Martin restoration business a stone's throw from the pub & historic Brooklands race track less than 30 miles away, the whole spectrum of motoring was represented from stylish 60s prestige cars to American classics; hotrods to bare bones 30s hill climb specials; rally cars to race reps; Bugattis to bubble cars. But it was the vintage tourers that took centre stage, towering over their more modern counterparts. Running boards, aero screens, truck sized steering wheels & a bewildering array of knobs & switches & dials. Flying jackets & goggles were the order of the day among their hardy drivers, to keep the frosty January chill at bay.
This is a fantastic meeting. A rare chance to see such classics, not in static displays, safe from the touch of the public behind rope barriers, but being driven in the real world, dicing with modern day traffic & up close enough to run your fingers over the polished paintwork, smell the hot oil & hear the bellow of fishtail exhausts. A great way to blow away the post Christmas fuzziness & start the New Year with a hearty roar.
In a world of small minded, ever creeping conformity, with every new car looking just like every other, it lifts the spirits to find the "oldies" refusing to retire quietly. They may be dinosaurs from a more glorious age, but they're certainly not extinct.
The New Year's Day classic meet begins at 10am each January 1st & runs until mid afternoon. Pub parking is limited so expect to park wherever you can along the main road. An outdoor hog roast with tea & coffee is available, as well as restaurant meals. There's a petrol station next door to the pub.
The Phoenix Inn is at
London Road, Phoenix Green, Hartley Wintney, Hants, RG27 8RT.

Book trade executives are optimistic and bullish about 2017, despite the political uncertainty of Brexit, looming European elections and Donald Trump taking up office in the US this month.
Publishing chief executives, leading agents and booksellers have given their predictions for the year ahead, with the overall outlook positive on the back of a second consecutive year of rising print sales.
Opportunities for the trade include an increase in export sales following a decline in the value of the pound, desire to read deeper non-fiction books in a so-called "post-truth world" heralding a "golden era" for the genre and the continuing boom in audio book sales –with Hacehtte UK chief executive Tim Hely Hutchinson predicting a 25% year-on-year growth in the format in 2017.
Ethnic diversity numbers will increase across the industry, foresees Pan Mac c.e.o Anthony Forbes Watson and the trade will then turn its head towards economic diversity in its staff. HarperCollins' c.e.o Charlie Redmayne believes that the diversity initiatives of 2016 will continue in 2017, "fundamentally changing the look of our industry and the books which we produce - ultimately growing our businesses and making us more relevant to the society in which we live".
Meanwhile, the perennial quest of how to reach new readers in an unpredictable age will be the focus for Penguin Random House's chief Tom Weldon.
Booksellers are looking forward to the strong publishing by houses coming into fruition, which may help to offset higher business rates incurred by the re-evaluation coming into effect in April. Bricks and mortar stores will continue to focus on in-store-theatre and will look forward to marking 20 years since the publication of J K Rowling's first Harry Potter novel (Bloomsbury). Meanwhile, trade bodies including the Publishers Association and Society of Authors will continue to fight for copyright protection as the UK extracts itself from the European Union.
While the outlook for library numbers amid tight local council budgets continues to be grim, CILIP c.e.o Nick Poole said that he thinks the services will do "more than ever to engage with and support their communities" in the lead up to the first annual Libraries Week in October 2017.
While most are optimistic about the year ahead, there are some who are concerned about its prospects, particularly taking into account wider political events.
"Anyone who is optimistic about a world where a homophobic, racist, lying braggart is the president of the most powerful country in the world, and where Britain deserts its friends and allies in Europe is missing the greater part of their cerebral cortex," according Profile's c.e.o Andrew Franklin.

The High Five: Dallas Restaurants Get Some National Love
by Eric Aasen 14 Aug 2014
Five stories that have North Texas talking: A teen hid in a Corsicana Walmart for two days; the founder of the popular Wild About Harry's has died; Dallas restaurants get national honors; and more.
CBD Provisions in Dallas has been nominated as one of the best 50 new restaurants by Bon Appetit. (Photo Credit: CBD Provisions/Facebook)
Some Dallas restaurants are getting honored by national publications. CultureMap Dallas reports that four Dallas restaurants made Southern Living's list of the 100 best restaurants in the South: CBD Provisions, Casa Rubia, San Salvaje and Fearing's. And CBD Provisions has been nominated one of the country's 50 best new restaurants by Bon Appetit. Here's what Bon Appetit has to say about CBD:"CBD Provisions filters big flavors through a local/seasonal lens to create a modern Texas brasserie that has us seriously questioning our devotion to Austin's better-hyped food scene. The menu nods to the local bounty, featuring regional meat and produce—you're just as likely to find yourself snacking on zippy house-fermented okra as you are ultra-porky pig's tails."
A teen called a Corsicana Walmart home for two days. The 14-year-old lived undetected at a 24-hour Walmart after running away from his aunt's home. Store employees in Corsicana eventually discovered the boy and two living quarters he had carved out behind boxes along the aisles of the store. KTVT (Channel 11) reports the boy pilfered food and drinks from the store. He reportedly changed clothes periodically to avoid detection. Corsicana police say the boy was visiting his aunt in Corsicana when he ran away July 28. He was found two days later at the store. Police say the teen, from nearby Rice, has a history of running away, tending to hide in abandoned homes and businesses. [Associated Press/KTVT]
The founder of Wild About Harry's, the popular custard shop on Knox Street, died Wednesday. Harry Mead Coley Jr. was 75. He used to meet customers each Thursday night, his daughter told The Dallas Morning News. So it's fitting that the public is invited to Wild About Harry's from 6 to 9 p.m. Thursday to honor him. "The Coleys opened Wild About Harry's in 1996," The News reports. "In the beginning, the shop sold two flavors of custard (using his mother's recipe) and four styles of gourmet hot dogs. Today, the store has more than 50 custard flavors and 10 kinds of hot dogs." Coley died of complications from lung cancer, The News reports.
A federal judge presiding over a lawsuit against new Texas abortion restrictions says he has a problem with anyone traveling 150 miles for medical care if the procedure could be done closer. U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on Wednesday didn't issue a ruling following closing arguments in a trial challenging a Texas law that would ban abortions at more than dozen clinics starting Sept. 1. But Yeakel honed in on the question of how far is too far for a woman to obtain the constitutional right of ending a pregnancy. The law requires all Texas abortion facilities to meet more stringent hospital-style operational standards. That would eliminate all abortion providers in the western half of the state. A ruling is expected in the coming weeks. [The Associated Press]
Gov. Rick Perry visited some of the 1,000 National Guard troops he's ordered to the Texas-Mexico border but says he doesn't know how long they'll be deployed. Perry on Wednesday stopped at Camp Swift Army National Guard training center in Bastrop, 30 miles east of Austin. The Texas Tribune reports:Perry "portrayed the deployment of the Texas National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border as a critical national security measure, telling troops in training here that they 'now are the tip of the spear protecting Americans from these cartels and gangs.' …Perry thanked the Guard members — some of the more than 2,200 who have volunteered to take part in the operation — and said people around the country in recent weeks have told him they are grateful for the surge." [Texas Tribune/Associated Press]

"The [DDPRP] program aims to reward anyone who can provide verifiably and unambiguous evidence of data abuse, in a similar model as Google's other vulnerability reward programs. In particular, the program aims to identify situations where user data is being used or sold unexpectedly, or repurposed in an illegitimate way without user consent," said Google engineers Adam Bacchus, Patrick Mutchler and Sebastian Porst.
"If data abuse is identified related to an app or Chrome extension, that app or extension will accordingly be removed from Google Play or Google Chrome Web Store. In the case of an app developer abusing access to Gmail restricted scopes, their API access will be removed."
About the Developer Data Protection Reward Program
Reporters can earn as much as $50,000 if the impact of the discovered abuse is substantial.
The types of reported issues that will qualify for a bounty include:
Apps falling afoul of Google Play policies (e.g., data collected by an Android app is sold, disclosed or shared by the developer in a manner that violates Google's and/or the developer's data handling or privacy policies)
Apps violating the Permissions policy
(e.g., an app that has SMS permission and shares that data with a third party for advertising purposes)
Apps violating the User Data policy (e.g., an app that accesses a user's inventory of installed apps and doesn't treat this data as personal or sensitive data subject to the Privacy Policy, Secure Transmission, and Prominent Disclosure requirements).
Apps violating the limited use requirements in the API user data policy (e.g., an app providing travel services, using or transferring user data unrelated to travel, or an app transferring user data to affiliates to help develop new products)
Chrome extensions violating the Chrome Web Store's minimum user data privacy requirements
Chrome extension's developer lacking transparency in its handling of user data, including lack of disclosure behind the collection.
In scope are Android apps with over 100 million installs, Chrome extensions with more than 50,000 users, and apps with more than 50,000 users that use restricted API scopes (allow access to Google User Data).
About the Google Play Security Reward Program
GPSRP is after reports about bugs and vulnerabilities in participating apps on Google Play (developers of Android apps must apply to join the program).
All vulnerabilities must always be reported directly to the app developer first. Once they are fixed, the reporter can request a bonus bounty from Google via this program.
Issues in scope are RCE vulnerabilities, vulnerabilities that lead to theft of private data, and vulnerabilities that allow access to protected app components. The most severe issues (RCE) can be rewarded with as much as $20,000.
The increase in scope of GPSRP means that participants can now report flaws in all apps in Google Play with 100 million or more installs directly to Google, even if the app developers don't have their own vulnerability disclosure or bug bounty program.
"In these scenarios, Google helps responsibly disclose identified vulnerabilities to the affected app developer. This opens the door for security researchers to help hundreds of organizations identify and fix vulnerabilities in their apps," the engineers explained.
"Vulnerability data from GPSRP helps Google create automated checks that scan all apps available in Google Play for similar vulnerabilities. Affected app developers are notified through the Play Console as part of the App Security Improvement (ASI) program, which provides information on the vulnerability and how to fix it. Over its lifetime, ASI has helped more than 300,000 developers fix more than 1,000,000 apps on Google Play."

Product code: AVWI
For the ultimate gift experience, see the city of London from the highest observation deck in the United Kingdom - the glittering and impressive Shard. Travel up The Shard, which measures a whopping 800 feet from street level, and once at the top see the 360 degree view that spans 40 miles.
After your journey to the skies (or before, depending on your booking), come back down to earth and enjoy a delicious British afternoon tea at Novotel London Bridge. Tuck into a selection of savoury finger sandwiches, satisfy your sweet tooth with an array of delicious cakes and finish off with scones with strawberry jam and clotted cream.
This experience is available Wednesday to Sunday, throughout the year.
The total experience time is 2 ½ hours. Your afternoon tea will last approximately 1 ½ hours.
This experience is for 2 people.
Southwark, London
Olga from Marketing, August 2022
What did you get up to?
Our experience started with an Afternoon Tea at Novotel London Bridge. From the beginning, staff members were all very welcoming and to our surprise one of them visited our hometown in Ukraine. All cakes were not only photo worthy but scrumptious as well. We were also given a drinks menu, from which we ordered a cappuccino and a green tea which came in a lovely tea pot.
After this we went to The View From The Shard. After the elevator took us up to the 68th floor, we had the option to walk up three more floors. Whilst going up, we had a lot of fun looking for beloved London attractions: St Paul Cathedral, Tower Bridge and Tower of London. Everything was decorated for the Queen's Jubilee and felt highly appropriate as we continued embracing Britishness after our Afternoon Tea.
What did you enjoy the most?
Our favourite part of the experience was tasting all the lovely cakes and taking photos and videos of them, while catching up.
At the Shard my favourite spot was roofless terrace with all the photo zones. It was also interesting to see London from a different perspective.
1. Floor 68 is quieter vs. the top floor and perfect for taking photos :)
2. Leave time for a lovely walk down the Thames
3. Leave space in your tummy for all the cakes.

The Congress adopted the slogan of complete independence and a mighty movement known as Civil Disobedience movement was launched to achieve it. The nationalist movement now assumed a wider character and adopted a comprehensive programme for the social and economic reconstruction of Indian society once independence was attained. Thus the struggle for political independence became a prerequisite for the reconstruction of Indian society. At the Congress session at Madras in December 1927 a resolution calling for Complete Independence was passed. This was the first time that a resolution demanding complete independence had been passed by the Congress. The Civil Disobedience Movement began with Dandi March.Gandhiji along with 78 of his followers started from his ashram at Sabarmati on a march to Dandi on the sea coast on foot and broke the law by making salt. As soon as the Civil Disobedience Movement started all the important leaders including Gandhiji and Jawaharlal Nehru were arrested. By the beginning of 1931 90,000 persons were in jail and 67 papers had been banned. In April and May 1930, at Peshawar Indian soldiers refused to open fire on the demonstrators when ordered to do so. In Solapur, martial law had to be imposed to suppress the mass upsurge. In Chittagong the revolutionaries captured the armory and there was a pitched battle between the government troops and the revolutionaries.
The Civil Disobedience movement which was suspended after Gandhi-Irwin Pact was revived on Gandhiji's return from the Round Table Conference in London when Lord Willingdon even refused to meet Gandhiji.The repression of the government was more severe than it had been before. By April 1933, about 120,000 persons had been imprisoned. In May 1934 the entire Civil Disobedience movement was called off. The Civil Disobedience movement had involved millions of people, young and old, men and women, people belonging to all religions and communities.


Poempig lives in the epicentre of Australian Swine Flu hysteria…. duly catching one of the lesser bugs. Going to the doctor suffering from flu-potential was a new experience. I was met out the front by a receptionist and given a mask and then escorted into a back room. Tamiflu was prescribed by a masked doctor. Being isolated in a back room had its advantages. I was, of course, saved form the germ fest in the waiting room. Nevertheless, the achy, breaky flu-like symptoms put me into a poetic if-dulled state of mind.
And, ah, some -itis too.
For no reason and with no warning.
– like getting out of bed – into an epic quest.
Are now your companions for life.
You, the -itis and the -tism.
Poets of Australia you are letting us, the general public, down. You can, of course, write whatever you bloody well choose to write in your poems with or without full stops, capital letters or verbs. You can take your inspiration from Keats, kestrels and cathedrals or expose your post-modernist angst with some poetic self-flagellation. No problem. I'm not here to tell you what to write. I am here to tell you what we, the general public, need with regards to poetry. You must have noticed. We actually do need poetry in our lives.
We read poetry at the great ceremonial moments in life such as weddings or funerals. The sad truth, however, is that most of the poets we choose to read out loud at social gatherings are dead. Khalil Gibran kicked the bucket, metaphorically speaking, over 75 years ago; while the Sufi poet Rumi has been dead for centuries. Moreover, when couples choose poetry for their weddings they often turn their backs on contemporary poets and call on the likes of an Apache Poem written, possibly, by a nameless Hollywood script writer for a B-grade Western. What's going on?
Some of you would insist that poetry is not a service industry. Too true. Yet despite the sweat and labour you put into your word-smithing few want to read what you write. You are producing a one-legged table. There are those who would appreciate the magnificence of your craftsmanship but few know what to do with it. As a consequence publishers have lost interest in printing poetry – You try and sell a one-legged table- and those few newspapers and magazines that publish poetry stow it in small spaces in tight corners.
Moreover, many poets who write for magazines and newspapers seem to have no idea that a poem is published in such a journal for the purposes of being read by the general public. Some poems seem to have been slung together from the clues from the cryptic crossword. Others read like a sheet of newspaper wrapping itself around your face in a strong wind. The poem arrives suddenly, you struggle with it and before you can get hold of it, it's gone. Then there are the poets, who seem to be speaking to someone standing behind you, their worthy thoughts flying over your shoulder to some bespectacled academic who stands there nodding knowingly and taking notes. Who has the time to read a poem that has to be sedated and strapped to a table so the meaning can extracted like a tooth by a cold-hearted professor? (Just a little tribute to Billy Collins.) We, the general public, want immediate access to a poem that speaks directly to us.
We know this is possible because Auden's poem 'Stop all the clocks, Cut off the Telephone' read at the funeral in the film 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' kick-started a poetry revival in the UK. This is not surprising. The poem is a raw outcry of grief and grief is a very common emotion. More significantly, neuroscience can now tell us why this poem stands like a poetic monolith rising above the post-modern literary fog. During our long walk through time evolution left its imprint in our brain. At the bottom of your skull is your reptile brain ticking-over basic functions. On top of it sits your mammal brain. This survival brain generates all emotional responses. Wrapped over these chunks of evolution is the human brain, Left and Right. But your emotional brain is not conscious. You cannot tell yourself to 'cheer up' or 'stop worrying' because your chatty human brain is talking to 'an animal' but you know this already. You know you cannot pluck happiness out of the air nor will away your worries.
We are, however, visual creatures. You can access your emotional brain through pictures, through pictorial language and Auden was a master of this craft producing exquisite and useful goods. Your Right brain thinks in pictures and therefore understands parables, myths, proverbs, fables and allegories. These tales often reflect a complex duality. The Hare and the Tortoise, 'Don't cry over spilt milk', the Greek myth of the youth Narcissus falling in love with his own reflection in a stream are a part of the inherited wisdom of this side of our consciousness that stretches back through the vast shadow of history to long ago, when human thought was simply a handprint on a cave wall.
Your Left brain doesn't get metaphors. It 'does its best' while your Right brain 'reaches for the stars'. Your Left brain uses language directly to label and sort your world and it can trap your emotional thinking. Pictorial language can, however, free you from pacing, up and down, in the cage of your own logical thoughts. The right words delivered at the right time can change your life. This, poets of Australia, is what we the general public need, poems that can change lives.

NikkieTutorials opens up about blackmailer who tried to "destroy" her life on Ellen
NikkieTutorials appeared on the Ellen DeGeneres Show to talk about coming out as trans and the response she's received.
NikkieTutorials has spoken to Ellen DeGeneres about being blackmailed, coming out as trans and getting support from fans.
Last week (Jan 13), YouTuber Nikkie de Jager came out as trans in a video titled: 'I'm Coming Out'. She said: "I can't believe I'm saying this today to all of you for the entire world to see but damn it feels good to finally do it. When I was younger I was born in the wrong body, which means that I am transgender." She added: "Today is the day I am free. I get to be me finally."

Nikkie also explained that she had been blackmailed into coming out. She revealed that someone had threatened to leak her story to the press and she posted the video to "take back her power". Now, Nikkie has opened up more about it on Ellen.
NikkieTutorials opens up about blackmailer who tried to "destroy" her life on Ellen. Picture: YouTube via NikkieTutorials, NBC
Talking to Ellen about the blackmail, Nikkie said: "Well a couple of weeks ago I got emails from a certain person and he was not okay with the fact that I was "lying" and wanted to expose that... he had a very pressuring tone of voice and he was like "If we don't get an answer by tomorrow, it's out." She went on: "I feel like his entire goal with this was to destroy my life."
Discussing the support, Nikkie continued: "It's been unreal. I remember uploading the video and I was like "Oh I can't do it" and my fiancé Dylan was like "You can do it." He really pushed me to post it and he was like "You're gonna be okay, you're gonna do this." Then people were like "we accept you" and I was so happy that it was 2020 and the acceptance is real."
Speaking about her mum, Nikkie divulged: "My mum is a queen. Even when we went to the hospital to see what was going on doctors were like "Don't push it too far. Let's see where it goes." When I got home I was like "Mum I really want to wear girl clothes" and she was like "if you want to wear girl clothes you're gonna wear them.""
Ellen also asked Nikkie if she would have come out if she were never blackmailed and she replied: "I always wanted to come out but it's such a delicate thing. There's never a perfect timing. So in a way, because I'm not grateful to the person who did this, I am thankful that it happened now and now I get to be free."

Stay Active (and safe) This Summer!
Combine first five ingredients (through shallots) in a large bowl. Whisk together the next seven ingredients (through cilantro) in a small bowl. Toss the dressing with the salad. Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Right before serving, add avocados and mix gently, being careful not to mash avocados. Garnish with a more chopped cilantro if desired. Serve at room temperature.
Prepare the rice paper wrappers: Pour warm water into a large bowl or 9-inch square or round baking pan. The baking pan is what I always use. Working with one at a time, dip the rice paper wrapper into the warm water for 15-20 seconds (or whatever the package suggests). Usually it's around that time. You want the wrapper to be soft, yet still slightly firm and pliable. Immediately remove from the water and place flat onto a work surface such as a large plastic or ceramic cutting board. Sometimes I use a large wood cutting board, but the wrappers stick to it a little more. Pat the wrapper slightly dry.
Fill the rolls: Place a few sticks of carrot, cucumber, red pepper, and a sprinkle of cabbage on top of the bottom 1/3 of the rice paper as explained and pictured in the post. Then, a small amount of noodles (if using), a slice or two of avocado and a bit of cilantro. Lay 1/2 of a lettuce leaf on top and 4 slices of shrimp on top– as pictured above. Remember, do not overstuff the roll. Start small then add more, as needed, as you roll each one.
Roll them: Roll everything up tightly. To do so, gently pull up the bottom of the roll and roll over the filling. Then, roll and use your hands to tuck the filling in as you go. It's basically like you're rolling a burrito! Remember, you want a very tight roll. You can fold in the sides of the rice paper roll if you wish, but sometimes I don't.
Grate cauliflower with the coarse grater disk on a food processor or the largest holes on a box grater until rice-like in texture. Transfer to a large, microwave-safe bowl and toss with 1 Tbsp. oil and 1/4 tsp. salt. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave on high 3 minutes. Carefully remove plastic wrap, spread cauliflower "rice" on a rimmed baking sheet, and let cool.
Wipe out food processor, if necessary, and fit with chopping blade. Pulse parsley, mint, scallions, garlic, lemon zest, lemon juice, 3/4 tsp. salt, and remaining 1/4 cup oil until herbs are coarsely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl and stir in red pepper flakes. Add cauliflower, cucumber, and tomatoes and gently toss to coat. Season with additional salt, if necessary.
Cauliflower "rice" can be made 3 days ahead. Chill in a resealable container.

If you're driving on ice or snow you won't know it until you need to stop. It doesn't matter if you're in a truck, jeep, SUV or any 4-wheel drive vehicle. Custom truck parts like Big brakes and good tires are the great equalizer. Protect yourself and other on the roads and highways with these great winter truck driving tips and tricks.
Ice or snow doesn't have to be packed up on the roadway to be dangerous. A thin sheet of ice can develop quickly on the roads and your trucks exterior and turn into a problem so be aware.
Tip # 2: Keep your eye on the temperature.
Water freezes at 32 degrees and the roadways and highways tend to be slightly warmer than the air temp, but once you're down at that low in temperature, you need to be worry.
Tip # 3: Look for spray coming up from other vehicles.
If spray is coming off the tires, it's likely that the roads are wet as opposed to ice covered, but keep in mind that a short stretch of road with ice on it can be just as dangerous to your custom trucks parts and components on ice-packed roadway or highway.
Make sure your radio is on and listen to news around you. If you are a new driver, try to find a seasoned driver who is experienced. We're all a little nervous out there if we really know what we're dealing with. You want to find a seasoned driver to help talk you through it.
Traffic tends to bunch up on bad roads–the natural inclination is to follow other drivers. Stay away from four-wheelers and fast drivers. Often they are under the illusion that if they have custom truck parts and big breaks the roads are safer than they actually are.
If there are four-wheelers spun out in the median or shoulder, the roads are bad. If you start seeing big rigs and trucks spun out, it's time to slow down and get off the road or highway.
If you are on dangerous roadways or highways your best bet is to find a safe spot to wait it out. Let your Eyes and body take a rest. If you can't find a spot in a truck stop, park on a ramp or anywhere way off the road side.. Try not to park on an incline. You're liable to get yourself stuck in snow or mud.
In the unfortunate event that you end up stuck, spun out, wrecked, or somewhere in a ditch, be sure you have necessities with you. Keep extra blanket, Road Flares, canned food, beef jerky and a can opener or knife if possible also # 1extra water. Be sure you keep your gas or diesel tanks full so you won't run out ever.
Diesel gels when it gets really cold. If your diesel gels, your custom truck parts won't run. If you are facing winter weather conditions, you need to put an anti-gel additive in your tanks (put it in BEFORE you fuel so it mixes). It's a good idea to stock up ahead of time and/or buy at auto parts store rather than expecting the truck stop to have it in stock. They tend to run out right quickly when you need it.
Those are your winter Tips and Tricks so stay safe and drive the speed limit so we all have safe roads and highways.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Or, put another way, do you want to risk passing through the digestive system of wolves because of a loose hose clamp? Or one of your custom truck parts came loose? We didn't think so.
Get your truck, jeep or SUV thoroughly serviced when your service light comes on. Wondering what to have checked? We suggest the checklists if you need a good mechanic. Also you can call your friends and check with and online area reviews.
Some late-model cars and trucks all have tire pressure monitors on the four active tires. But if you're driving something with a few years on the clock, remember to check the tire pressure daily. Improper air pressure can lead to poor handling or, in extreme cases, overheating tires and a tire blow out.
The gauges on your truck, jeep or SUV aren't there just to make the dash look pretty. They're there for a reason, eventually, something will go wrong with stock and custom truck gauges. Gauges are necessary to tip you off before it's too late.
When your eyes aren't on the gauges, keep them on the road, not on the screen of your smartphone. Over the last decade, driver distraction has become one of the leading causes of accidents. Never text when driving. Relax, listen to some music, enjoy the scenery, and save the cell phone and texting for when your not in the car.
When crossing a small mountain range like, say, the Rockies or the Appalachians in your truck or jeep Back off on the throttle. Many people assume they are required by natural law to maintain the same speed going up a mountain that they've maintained on interstate through Virginia. Not true. Your engine is working a lot harder to get your car up a hill, so by slowing down a bit, you'll save wear and tear, reduce the damage done by overheating, and you'll improve your gas mileage. Here's another good reason: There are plenty of places without guard rails. We rest our case.
Have a repair kit on hand in your truck, jeep or SUV for fixes you might be able to take care of yourself. At the very least, bring a few different sizes of regular and Phillips-head screwdrivers, vice grips, bailing wire to secure an errant muffler and a roll of duct tape or gorilla tape and a can of spam. Some things you will always need with stock or custom truck parts on your vehicle. You can't go wrong when in an emergency. So check out all our great truck & Jeep accessories and performance parts we also have lots of truck accessories on sale.

World Music Mix: Andrew Dow(USA) – In Motian (ears&eyes Records (2022)
Andrew Dow is a multidisciplinary artist living in New York City. Bass player, composer, photographer and videographer, Andrew has long been developing his personal sound and vision on the electric bass guitar. Inspired by jazz musicians, classical composers, rock music and songwriters alike, he has been following a singular vision, one that he hopes is felt throughout his first recording as a leader, In Motian.
At Once We Say Goodbye
From our very first breath to our last, we're faced each and every day with navigating an ever changing world. In Motian is an attempt to acknowledge those every day changes; changes that we sometimes accept with grace, and sometimes we meet kicking and screaming. Andrew has composed a beautiful album of personal reflections on time; both lived and lost, personal and collective. A musically poetic weaving of memories, of hopes and dreams, of our shared human experiences.
Time is at the heart of the album; time and motion. In Motian is a play on words, giving a nod to the great drummer/composer Paul Motian, whose own sense of time, and artistic vision, has long been an inspiration of mine. However, In Motian is my own story, the story of my life. It's the people that I've met, and the music that I've lived, learned and played. Singing classical music through college, my time playing with great songwriters, and later, all of my experience playing jazz and avant-garde music, both around Boston and then in New York City. Simply put, this is the debut presentation of my artistic DNA.

JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2022: ARC Trio and the John Daversa Big Band – ARCEOLOGY
Album: ARCEOLOGY The Music of MSM Schmidt
Label: Blue Canoe Records
For the past several years, former Yellowjackets bassist and prolific producer Jimmy Haslip has enjoyed an ongoing working relationship with the Bremen, Germany-based jazz fusion keyboardist and composer Michael Schmidt (aka MSM Schmidt). While Haslip played on Schmidt's 2007 album Transit and 2009's Destination, he ended up co producing 2012's Evolution, 2015's Utopia and 2017's Life. They take their chemistry to new heights on ARCeology: The Music of MSM Schmidt.
This dynamic offering finds Haslip and members of his ARC Trio (keyboardist Scott Kinsey and Hungarian drummer Gergö Borlai) joining forces with the GRAMMY® Award-winning John Daversa Big Band on greatly expanded versions of previously recorded Schmidt material, along with two brand new pieces composed by Kinsey and Schmidt. The result is a powerhouse collection of polished, swaggering big band fusion along the lines of the Jaco Pastorius Big Band or The Brecker Brothers' 2003 collaboration with the WDR Big Band Köln on Some Skunk Funk.
"I wanted to see if I could make this a big band record but somehow make it different," said Haslip. "I didn't think it should sound like a vintage big band recording. I wanted it to sound modern and have more of an edge, which is what led me to include guest soloists like Nguyên Lê, Mike Miller, Steve Khan, Oz Noy and others. They bring progressive elements into the big band setting and add compelling ideas to each song."
Out of the eight songs that appear on ARCeology, six were previously recorded on other Michael Schmidt records. The two brand new compositions here are Schmidt's "Mirrors" and Kinsey's "Quartet." And as Haslip noted, "In approaching this project, there was the thought that if you're going to redo songs that have already been recorded, what can be done to make them sound like new compositions? And I think with Scott's rhythm arrangements and John's input on the horn parts, we came up with some creative solutions."
Haslip also credited Kinsey, who became de facto co-producer of ARCeology. "Originally, I was the point producer on this whole thing, but as time went on I just knew that Scott needed to be a part of the production team," he recalled. "We weren't far into the project when I approached Scott and said, 'I want you to be my co-producer on this because you're contributing so much great work and it's only fair that we do this together.' He was up for that, so I am happy to say that Scott and I co-produced the record. I can't take full credit for what's happened here, as Scott was the real workhorse. He played most of the keyboard and synth parts and did all the keyboard solos, of course. Also, Scott's rhythm arrangements had a big hand in influencing John's horn arrangements. There was a lot of cool stuff already in place for John to just embellish. But then again, John has his own unique voice for orchestration. Everything he wrote after the fact was fantastic."

JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2022: Stefano Travaglini and Achille Succi-Book of Innocence
"With their new recording, Book of Innocence, Stefano Travaglini and Achille Succi have released an inspired recording and it is something quite beyond convention.
Stefano came to my attention in 2017 with his extraordinarily wide-ranging solo album Ellipse (Notami Jazz, 2017), his first leader recording. Another outstanding solo outing came in 2020 with Monk – Fifteen Piano Reflections (Notami Jazz). A multi-instrumentalist and composer, Stefano's primary focus, on his recordings, is the piano. He won first prize at the International Piano Competition for Composers "G. Canciani" and Book of Innocence is Stefano's fifth album as a leader or co-leader. As on two of his previous releases, The Hungarian Songbook (Terre Sommerse, 2013), and The Long Line (Odradek Records, 2019), Book of Innocence is a duo recording with fellow Italian, Achille Succi. He is a multiple award-winning musician, principally self-taught, on alto, and bass clarinet. Achille has performed with Louis Sclavis, Ab Baars and Ernst Rejiseger, among others.
Stefano Travaglini & Achille Succi- Bauci
Piano/clarinet duos are rare but the Travaglini-Succi duo presents a captivating interchange, based on visual arts, literature, and a myriad of further stimuli. The album opens with "Rothko", inspired by the Russian-born abstract expressionist Mark Rothko. The artist has been celebrated in music before; most notably with Morton Feldman's chamber work, "Rothko Chapel" and the dark alternative rock of Peter Gabriel in "Fourteen Black Paintings". In its context, the Book of Innocence tribute is truer to Rothko's artistic vision with its surreal churning of direction and timbre.
"Bauci" takes its inspiration from the novel "Invisible Cities" by Italo Calvino. The musical piece more than does justice to the fanciful tale that ponders on notions of recollection and place. Achille, here on bass clarinet, plays a beautiful, unassuming melody over the intricate harmony of the piano. "Silent Moon" and "Turning Tables" each exude a nocturnal serenity without limiting the possibilities of their individual instruments as Stefano and Achille switch places at the forefront. In these pieces, the duo excels in a creative interaction that is both fragile and impervious.
Pat Metheny's "Travels" is the single cover on an album of Travaglini compositions and improvisations. The duo gives us an inspiring and imaginative take on the guitarist's 1983 original, retaining Metheny's evocative feeling while immersing themselves in their heartfelt version of the piece. On "Blues for Days to Come", the lead is given over to Achille while Stefano supplies circular rhythm. As the piece progresses, Achille's playing opens up and his excellent improvising puts the "blues" in a more modern context.
Book of Innocence closes with the extended title track, bringing the album to a thematic full circle. "Book of Innocence" has something of a spiritual connection to Henri Matisse's The Red Studio. That 1911 creation by the French artist was less than universally embraced initially, but went on to influence other great artists including Rothko. It is a survey of some of the artist's work consisting of paintings sculptures, and ceramics, within a single painting. With great resourcefulness, Stefano and Achille incorporate six of the pianist's shorter compositions into a single unified grouping. The transition is almost seamless and the music is, by turns, poignant, cerebral, or reflective.
It is no surprise that Book of Innocence finds inspiration, in part, from the works of masters of the visual arts. Stefano and Achille paint vivid pictures with their music establishing a meeting ground for diverse artistic expressions. The duo plunges themselves into the full extent of their imaginations; their playing is neither predictable nor pretentious and not a note is wasted.
The Museum of Modern Art describes the centerpiece of Matisse's The Red Studio as a grandfather clock with no hands. They suggest that the visual work exists in an environment where time is put on hold. It can be said that this exceptional work of art, Book of Innocence, lies in a similar place. These two virtuoso musicians have given us a collection that warrants repeated and complete attention. It is an exceptionally rewarding listening experience."

World Music Mix: Sanfeliu(Australia)-Album: To Absent Friends(4000 Records, 2022)
Sanfeliu(Australia)-Album: To Absent Friends(4000 Records, 2022)
Sanfeliu(Australia)-Leopardi
Sanfeliu's sophomore album To Absent Friends is a collection of songs and sound-collages about the people that make us who we are: friendships, relationships based on the free sharing and exchanging of care, nurture, pleasure and knowledge in different times and places.
Like each friend, each song presents different patterns, and a different relationship or exchange model: some friends you see every week, some every summer, some sporadically, some regularly, but they all share a focus on self-reflection, awareness, cooperation, collection creative pursuits, shared passions that bring you together.
Similarly to friendships, these songs show an interest in change, growth, transience, willingness to embrace change and to grow. Some pieces have a clear pop-song structure with verse, bridge and chorus. Others have a ballad structure, and rely on the repetition and contrast between vocal and instrumental parts. Some are entirely built on repetition, whereas others explore development and change, with slowly shifting harmonic sequences.
"In most of the pieces," says Sanfeliu, "working with very minimal rhythmic and melodic motifs and presenting these across both piano and subtle synth layers helped me integrate the writing into something that allowed for more complex arrangements, whilst feeling still natural, seamless, organic."
The album's opening track, 'To Absent Friends', is a simple note addressed to all our dear friends: perhaps a letter, or a postcard, a message that travels through space and place between oneself and another, bridging that distance and using it as a strength to build a process of active exchange and communication.
Several of the songs in the album refer to actual people: friends, relatives, writers, philosophers, thinkers and activists that have been influential in Carles' life.
For example, 'Leopardi' is dedicated to the 19th century Romantic poet Giacomo Leopardi, possibly the founding father of emo-core music/poetry, and draws heavily on his own lyrics.
'El Rey y la Reina de los Desamparados' is dedicated to Kurt Cobain and its lyrics are an adaptation/mechanical translation of his diaries.
In contrast with Sanfeliu's debut album (Flores – Colores), To Absent Friends has perhaps a brighter sound, and more uplifting songs with a clear pop structure, whilst continuing their exploration of melodic variety from different musical traditions.
Recorded at Moon Room with Nell Forster and mastered by Marly Lüske at Alchemix Studios, several friends also joined the creative and recording process: Isabel Torres plays flute on 4 songs, Paco Johnson-Cash contributes guitar and lap-steel guitar on 2 songs and Nell Forster herself contributed sound-collaging, drums and percussion.

JazzWorldQuest Showcase 2022 : Roberto Magris Duo & Trio Featuring Mark Colby
Album: Roberto Magris Duo & Trio Featuring Mark Colby
Label: JMood Records
Roberto Magris at JMood Records
Italian pianist Roberto Magris has developed his career in synergy with the best of American jazz, the proof is his work of great diversity and inventiveness where experimentation has always played an important role. His collaborations with American jazz personalities have proved to be not only inspiring but also a basis for a creative dialogue that has made its mark on all the albums he has released, his latest album is one of them.
Roberto Magris Duo & Trio brings to the fore the collaboration with late saxophonist Mark Colby present on six of the album's eleven tracks. It is worth mentioning that the two musicians played together on "Sun Stone" released in 2019.
The other songs are performed by Magris accompanied by a trio with whom the pianist has collaborated many times in the past: Elisa Pruett, bass, acoustic, Brian Steever, drums, Pablo Sanhueza, congas.
Right from the first composition, the mastery of the two performers is evident and the balance of forces is remarkable. We listen to two musicians at the height of their creative powers combining their personalities with a naturalness of great finesse.
The trio gives us superb versions of familiar standards, each filtered through the creative mastery of the pianist.
The album contains four originals in which Magris's compositional mastery is complimented by Colby's clear, soulful phrasing.
Considering that Colby passed away two years ago, this album is a historic recording, and here we have to thank both Roberto Magris and his friend Paul Colins at JMood records for giving us the opportunity to listen to such a collection of jazz gems.

"As Above So Below" – Performance with Moon Ra to mark the solar eclipse (Bristol).
A night of sonic alchemy in the crypt and the church upstairs.
Moon RA are an improvisatory drone-collective based in London.
Featuring up to 40 performers of varying disciplines including; projectionists, costume designers, stylists and videographers, plus all forms of instrumentation (including the St. John's pipe organ), they create immersive worlds of sound you can lose yourself in.
On 20th March, the Total Solar Eclipse and Vernal Equinox, Moon RA will simultaneously take over the crypt space as well as the church upstairs, for a performance titled 'As Above, So Below'. Previous shows include playing London's Round Chapel on New Years' Day and a fort in Rome on the Solstice.
"The lighter more ætherial sounds / performers will occupy the church space, creating a more subtle and airy form of sound-ritual magic.
Downstairs would host a more 'dark' tribal and physical type of ritual performance.
The performance will last for approximately 4 hours and entry is free, relying on donations and purchases of some special prints which will be available to buy on the night.
Wish I was doing this with you all – I think it is going to be very special.
