The carnage of the so-called worship wars has left its share of unfortunate casualties. Church splits and Christians walking away with a bitter after taste have led to the inevitable rise of artists like Townend. Instead of championing for either the hymn or modern worship song option, Townend represents the third alternative. He, like the Gettys, has decided to write new worship hymns quipped with contemporary sensibilities and resonate with the theological richness of those ancient hymns. Over the years, Townend has serviced the church with gorgeous new hymns like "In Christ Alone,""How Deep The Father's Love For Us", "Beautiful Saviour" and "The King of Love" In this regard, Townend's contribution to the church's worship is indispensable.
"Courage," released under the Integrity Music imprint, is Townend's first record in four years. Glancing at the credits of the record, one is impressed by Townend's co-writers, such as Ed Cash, Keith Getty, Kristyn Getty and Brenton Brown. "How Shall I Sing that Majesty" is one of three co-writers with the Gettys. The song bears all the sonic trademarks of the trio's songwriting: a driving Celtic-pop melody with well thought out lyrics that go deeper than the usual platitudes. However, as much as this is a winsome template, Townend has (slothfully) repeated the same structure for the next three songs "May the People Praise You," "How Good is It to Sing" and "Still, My Soul be Still." When all four songs opening the disc have the same tempo and similar melodic progressions, this can be tediously jarring.
Only by track #5, there is a change in the soundscape. "I Am Here for You," which features Emma Townend on lead vocals, is a superior heartfelt Alison Krauss-esque ballad. Inspired by how God lead him out of a period of pain after the death of his brother, the rootsy title cut "Courage" is Townend's testimony captured in song. Praying for God's leadership in our uncertainties is the thrust of the irresistible Celtic-inspired "Lead On, Lead On." Again featuring Emma Townend on lead vocals, this song is stocked with piercing honesty: 'Lead on. Lead on' not always my prayer/When pride embittered my soul.
Then fans who long for a ballad in the veins of "In Christ Alone" will love "I Will Wait for You (Psalm 130)." Since it is a co-write with the Gettys, the song can also be found on the Irish couple's latest release too. After Hillsong have set the Apostle's Creed to music in "This We Believe (The Creed)," they have set the standard of how such songs ought to be executed. Townend's endeavour with "We Believe (The Apostle's creed)" pales in comparison. Likewise, hasn't the prayer of St. Patrick been set to music already? So, what's the point of "Christ be with Me (The Patrick of St Patrick)"? Why not write new music to prayers of other spiritual giants such as Calvin or Spurgeon or Luther?
After all these years of writing and creating worship music, one gets the impression that a lot of material came out of routine than inspiration. Sure, there are some wonderful moments, but this album is also predictable and slothful in other areas. Not Townend's best effort.

Why ANGEL Was One Of The Best Genre Shows Of All Time
Published on May 21, 2018 November 19, 2020 by theworldsbestblogwithpaulwright
As the man behind blockbuster juggernauts like Avengers and Avengers: Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon rocketed to Hollywood's A-List with two of Marvel's biggest films under his belt. With his recent success on the big screen it can be easy to forget that Whedon's largest impact on pop culture arguably came from his work in television. He's worked on multiple television shows over the years, but series like the cult classic series Firefly, which was gone far too soon, and of course the game changing masterpiece Buffy the Vampire Slayer, have had a massive cultural impact. Joss Whedon's influence on the golden age of television cannot be understated. However, I think Whedon's work of true genius is the criminally underrated Buffy spinoff, Angel.
It took a little while for Angel to step out of Buffy's shadow. Though still very good, Angel took a season or two to find it's legs and become it's own unique and brilliant show. I would say Season 3 is when Angel really comes into its own. Which brings me to the point I'll be trying to make in this article, Buffy the Vampire Slayer is one of the most groundbreaking works of fiction in any medium and will be remembered alongside I Love Lucy and The Wire as one of the best television shows of all time. I'm here to tell you: Angel is better.
This is literally the LEAST creepy photo of Buffy & Angel together I could find. I mean… the guys like 250 years old and she's 16! It's fucking weird is all I'm saying!
Before I get into what makes this show so excellent and brilliant, I have to give you the show's basic setup and how the show came to be. Angel (played by David Boreanaz, you know that guy from Bones) was a character first introduced on Whedon's Buffy The Vampire Slayer. He was Buffy's main love interest for the first 3 season's of the show before getting a series of his own. Angel was a tragic figure right from his introduction and his romance with Buffy was heartbreaking because by it's very nature it was destined to end in tragedy. Angel was an over 200 year old vampire in love with The Slayer, a girl whose cosmic mission was to kill things just like him. It was poetic in a doomed sort of way.
18th Century Angel with his vampire Sire (the Vampire who turns you into a vampire), Darla
It's very important to understand how vampires worked in this universe. Every movie, TV show, piece of folklore has it's own mythology or "set of rules" on the nature of vampires. In the "Buffyverse" as it's commonly referred to, people become vampires by being fed on by another vampire, who drinks their blood until they die. But the human also has to ingest the blood of the same vampire during the draining to raise from the dead (so if you just get bit by a vampire you're not going to turn into one). Once the new vampire raises from the dead, they retain all the memories and certain personality traits of the person they were before. However, they may believe they're that same person they were before, but their "soul", their essence, passed on when they died. The thing that rose from the dead is a monster, a soulless demon wearing that person's face. They have enhanced strength, speed, and senses, but they weren't so formidable that a well trained human couldn't kill them. The key word here is SOUL, but I'll get back to that in a minuet.
Angel when he turned back into Angelus, in full tilt psycho mode
When Angel turned into a vampire, he wasn't just any vampire, he was the Hannibal Lecter of vampires. Killing was an art for him. Sometimes he would toy with his victims for months to drive them insane before killing them. Or kill their whole family and leave them alive to suffer. Most vampires just fed on humans, but Angel or Angelus as he was known back in the day, was one of the most evil and vicious creatures to stalk the Earth. For almost 200 hundred years, anyone who crossed paths with him met a brutal death as he walked the world. Until one day he killed the wrong girl and seriously pissed off some gypsies. That's really a good rule for anyone: DON'T FUCK WITH GYPSIES! Angel killed the most beloved member of their tribe and her people wanted revenge. So they cursed him by restoring his SOUL (remember when I said souls were important?). Now he felt the weight and the guilt of every brutal, evil act he committed and being more or less immortal he had to live with this guilt for eternity. He still had the thirst of a vampire, but now he had the conscience of a human being.
Another instance of Angel becoming Angelus again. At some point you gotta ask yourself: Is this guy just to much of a liability? Multiple murder sprees aren't like talking too many sick days.
After wallowing in a gutter of guilt and despair for a hundred years (look I'm not really sure how old Angel is, ok?), he was approached by a demon, but ya' know the good kind. This demon named Whistler said Angel could keep being a useless piece of shit or he could stand up and help fight the good fight, start trying to making up for all the evil shit he did for all those years. That's what set him on his path to seek out The Slayer and help her in any way he could, he just didn't know he'd fall in love with her. The rub is that the curse the gypsies put on Angel fails if he achieves a moment of true profound peace and happiness. At which point he loses his soul again and goes back to eating babies. This and other factors eventually make Angel realize he and Buffy can never really be together, so he moves to LA and becomes a private detective who helps the helpless. That's the set up for the Angel series.
Left to Right: Gunn, Fred, Wesley, Angel, Lorne, & Spike
Buffy was a show that was all about metaphor. The monsters and vampires Buffy fought were metaphors for the experiences and hurdles of growing up. The physical demons were an outward manifestation of what people go through in high school, into college, and finally adulthood. Buffy was always the righteous, deep blue hero fighting a very clear evil. If Buffy was Spider-Man, Angel was Daredevil. Angel existed in a world where there weren't always easy answers and life isn't a simple, cut and dry choice between good and evil. It was about the grey that most people live in.
Cordelia with a crossbow
Angel's supporting cast reflected these ideas very well. The most important people that in Angel's life are all fundamentally changed as characters from their first appearance to the end of the series. That is of course, if they made it to the end of the series. We all know how Whedon loves to kill off characters and Angel is no exception. Angel's supporting cast included Cordelia, a vapid aspiring actress who becomes spiritually enlightened with visions that "The Powers That Be…" send her to guide Angel on his hero's journey.
Left to Right: Gunn and Fred ( Romantic sparks eventually fly…)
Two characters who join the show a little bit later are: Gunn a former gang member who grew up fighting vampires that preyed on his poor and predominantly African-American neighborhood because the cops didn't give a shit about people dying in neighborhoods like his.
Out of all the human characters in the Buffyverse, Gunn is probably the most formidable fighter. Meaning no enhanced strength or speed. Probably the only human who could MAAAAYBE give Angel a real fight.
Fred a girl Angel and his crew save from a hell dimension who's also a genius mathematician, Lorne a psychic demon (the good kind) who just wanted to run his lounge that catered to humans and demons alike. Buffyverse fan favorite, sometimes villain/sometimes hero vampire, and Angel's frenemy Spike also makes reoccurring appreances on the show.
I know he looks lame, but Lorne is a pretty interesting character on the show. I think they made him look kind of goofy because he wasn't meant to be a permanent part of the show, but was popular enough to become a series regular.
Spike needs no introduction. He's the fucking man.
All of these characters change significantly throughout the series as they endure the death, loss, and corruption that comes with trying to change the world for the better in a LA run by demons and really, really shitty humans. Like Angel, they all learn in their own way that you don't wake up one day to find the battle has been won, good guys don't always win and bad guys far too often are the ones that come out on top. You can't stop the machine, it's war that can never be truly won. But that doesn't mean you stop fighting. There are always small victories and sometimes the smallest kindness can be a profound source of hope.
All of the characters are interesting in their own way, but no character represents what Angel is all about better than Wesley Wyndham-Pryce (played by Alexis Denisof). Wesley was originally a character that was mostly played for laughs. He was an academic expert in supernatural lore who was useful, but often portrayed as a coward and comic relief. But over time he became one the most badass characters on TV. Through torture, heartbreak, betrayal, and learning to hunt monsters from the most deadly vampire with a soul around, Wesley became one of the show's coolest and darkest characters. He embodied one of the shows biggest themes, personal and emotional transformation through trials and suffering.
Wesley has a lot of cool weapons, but his weapons of choice are a shotgun and two berettas
The things he's been through and the people around him highlight why Angel is such a unique, compelling character. Angel has such a fascinating and unusual motivation for being a hero and it's at the heart of why I found Angel to be such an excellent series. Angel helps people and fights the good fight because he's seeking redemption and forgiveness. He knows he's damned, but he keeps struggling to be better anyway and he doesn't always succeed. Can acts of good ever really outweigh or make up for evil of the past? Or is that evil always there? A stain on your soul that can never be wiped away or forgotten no matter how much good you do? It's a timeless philosophical question. Genre's like fantasy and science fiction allow us to ask these questions in a direct way. Behind the otherworldly and fantastical window dressing of every good science fiction or fantasy story lies a very real tale about what it means to be human.
Angel has a son who eventually goes on to a successful career in advertising as a partner at Sterling Cooper Draper Price
Running for five seasons on what's now The CW, Angel was another Whedon show that felt like it ended too soon. Many cancelled shows, especially at the time, ended on a season finale expecting to come back for another season. So their stories are left without an ending, character arcs and storylines still in play never reached their conclusion. With Angel, each season was better than the one before and Season Five was when the show went from great to extraordinary. It felt like they were just getting started. Fortunately, even though Whedon and his writers were unhappy with the cancellation, they were given the opportunity to end the show on their terms and to give the characters, the story, and the audience the closure they deserved. And what an ending it was… It's fitting that a show of this caliber should end on such a high note, but the writers crafted the perfect ending in the episodes leading up to the finale. To this day, The Series Finale of Angel is without question the best series finale I've ever seen to a TV series. And I'm not alone, everyone I know who's familiar with the show talks about how incredible the finale was. It would be criminal to spoil the series finale in this article. However, It perfectly encapsulates all the ideas and themes of the show: Sacrifice, the idea that you can't win the war against evil, but sometimes you can win the battle, and that evil prevails when good (or at least decent men trying to be good) do nothing. All while sending the characters out on a fantastic note. That finale stayed with me for a long time. It's still with me even today. There's a lot of truth in the ideas presented on Angel and the finale in particular without question effected how I see the world.
Unfortunately, Angel used to be available on both Netflix and Amazon Prime, but it's no longer available on either platform. You can get the show on iTunes and DVD, for some insane reason the show hasn't been released on Blu-ray yet, but I've heard they may release A Blu-ray set this fall. Regardless of how you watch it, I can't recommend this show enough. Even if you're not a fan of Buffy, you can still love this show. In fact, I don't think you really need to see Buffy at all to fully appreciate Angel. I really hope you give Angel a try. As I said before, season three is really with the show becomes great, but the first two seasons have some excellent episodes in there. If the show connects with you the way it did with me, you're in for a hell of a ride. I revisit Angel every few years and it always remains one of the best shows I've ever seen.
That time Angel turned into a puppet. Hey it a weird show, alright?!
As always, thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed this article!
Look, I'm sorry everyone, but… I just needed to include this picture. I'm not proud of it.
UPDATE(6/16/18): Awhile back, Tim, who used to be one of our co-hosts, did a solo mini-podcast episode of "The World's Best Podcast" focused specifically on the Buffy & Angel character: Spike. He had I done a podcast about Buffy The Vampire Slayer and I felt we didn't give Spike enough attention, so I had Tim do a mini-sode follow up. Spike is one of Tim's favorite characters of all time in ANY medium. Considering how Spike is such an important character both on the show and in Angel's life, I thought it would be fun to re-post the mini-sode here as a supplement/bonus to this article. It's a really fun listen, so enjoy!

The failings of Regionalism: SAARC and its struggle to thrive.
June 8, 2021 by Prachi Aryal
Following the growing tensions between India and Pakistan, the 2014 summit was the last where all member states participated. Photo Credit: President Mahinda Rajapaksa, licensed with CC BY-NC 2.0.
The ongoing COVID crisis has exacerbated the disparity between states whilst also creating a new opportunity for regional cooperation. In South Asia, a region characterized by political disharmony and strategic schism, regionalism, though entrenched, hasn't been able to prosper as possibilities of further integration and cooperation look uncertain.
Regional cooperation and interaction have become an important feature of the international order. The increasingly globalised and liberalised world that calls for interaction between all states has witnessed a regional reaction with states striving to keep their regional linkages intact. In South Asia, this need for interconnectedness has long been recognised and multiple attempts to create a spirit of pan-Asian cooperation were championed in various conferences like the Asian Relations Conference and Bandung Conference. However, these attempts at cooperation and integration failed as newly independent countries began to prioritise national security and development over regional cooperation. Subsequently, this led to more sub-regional cooperation as this offered a more viable and manageable option for the newly independent states.
The formation of South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) in 1985, was a regionalist project aimed at promoting cohesion in the South Asian region. With, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Bangladesh and Maldives as founding members, and Afghanistan joining in 2007, SAARC was the first of its kind in the region. It was established with the aim of promoting social cohesion, economic and cultural cooperation, as well as encouraging self-reliance, mutual assurance and collaboration within the region.
South Asia is a critical geostrategic area bordered by China, the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea, with the nations bound together by 'geographical proximity' over cultural or economic proximity. Cooperation between the nations in South Asia is vital to ensure holistic development in the region as large disparities remain between states.
However, over recent years, SAARC has been at stalemate and has struggled to make progress as compared with other regional organisations. Owing to a long history of colonialism and disjointed power structures in the area, attempts at region building haven't yielded positive outcomes. The competing power struggles that emerged after the end of colonialism and the violent cartographies which arbitrarily demarcated nascent states created significant international tensions, with each nation concerned about the expansionism of the others.
One of the many reasons that hinders multilateral cooperation between South Asian nations is that the region is comprised of unequal partners. Identified as one of the poorest, most socially complex and underdeveloped areas in terms of trained human resources the region struggles to maintain cohesion and cooperation. Of the many nations, India has emerged as a prominent power in the region whilst most countries like Nepal still fall under the rubric of "less developed country". The rise of India as a prominent global power has also exacerbated tensions within the region creating an apprehensive atmosphere about its influence in South Asia.
Furthermore, many of the participating SAARC nations have competing power interests and are deadlocked in geopolitical stalemate. The most prominent nations, India and Pakistan have been in a protracted state of pseudo-conflict over border disputes since their inception. Similarly, there exists a similar border issue with Afghanistan and Pakistan as well as India and Nepal. The cartographic issues coupled with insurgencies and cross-border conflicts often exacerbate the differences between the countries.
Various attempts at regional economic cooperation have also suffered at the behest of different economic policies and power relations between the countries. In 2004, the South Asian Free Trade Area (SAFTA) agreement was signed with the aim of establishing a free-trade area amongst the countries by 2016 to facilitate holistic economic development. However, this initiative failed due to the hostile relationship between India and Pakistan. The strategic rivalry between the countries has led to the breakdown of multiple initiatives.
In 2017, India launched a satellite to ensure better communication in the South Asian region and all members of the SAARC welcomed it though Pakistan refrained from taking part in the venture. Events and agreements like these promoting cooperation between regional nations have often been stymied by political manoeuvring leaving little chance for mutually advantageous cooperation.
The increasing anxiety between the states in the region has led to more sub-regional cooperation activities becoming viable options for smaller nations. These have led to the formation of organisations like Bangladesh, Bhutan India Nepal Initiative (BBIN) and Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) for the coordination of trade and economic agreements. Similarly, as the hegemon in the region, India continues to pursue a strategy of reaching out to broader cooperative organisations like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) to further its growth strategy, thereby antagonising smaller South Asian regional players who may feel left behind.
Owing to the asymmetric and divided nations left by colonial rule, the South Asian region still struggles to create a cooperative environment in the region. The disintegrated cooperation between the nations coupled with their divergent political interests in the region will only create a stalemate that will disrupt chances of regional development and cooperation. It is essential that all member states work towards tackling their competing political interests and differences to ensure the revival of regionalism in South Asia.

Momday has come and past again. I am still on a high from the day and can't wait to share the details with you about our next one soon! If you don't know what Momday is, it is a conference held in Utah for MOMS! They come from 2pm-10pm are enlightened and recharged by speakers, have dinner, and then a full pamper night all included in their ticket. You can read about our March Momday here. Momday is put on by Jess and I and we are so blessed to have the best of the best sponsors help us so we can make sure to keep ticket costs down. This conference our host sponsor was JuJuBe. JuJuBe is a bag company that has everything from diaper bags to mommy and me bags so it was the perfect fit to host our conference with!
The stage was absolutely beautiful and sponsored by RodWorks. You should have heard the mama's talking about all the pieces they were headed to go snag! I have a feeling that hexagon mirror is going to end up at my house fast. It made the perfect backdrop for the amazing speakers that we had.
The mama's checked in for the day at Jack & Winn's check in table. I think we all know that Jess and I are obsessed with Jack & Winn and putting our littles in their hats. They were perfect to have for mama's to see their hats for their babies when they checked in! After they checked they headed into our main room and found a seat. Each seat had had a JuJuBe makeup bag, Ruby Claire bracelet, a tumbler, and a notecard from Minted to write their thoughts down on.
Once everyone arrived we started by welcoming everyone. The amazing Ruby Claire Boutique was our speaker sponsor, Jess and I love these sweet sisters and their company more than you know. They are the definition of goodness and a company built on love, family, and goodness. We started our speakers by listening to Jennica Parcell talk about her infertility journey. She left everyone feeling enlightened, and like we can conquer the world no matter what trials we go through. Next the Ruby Claire sisters spoke about finding your happy and what happiness is to everyone. How to pause in life, look around, and to have hope. They left everyone feeling stronger, like we can make it through our trials and now have some steps to help us to be able to get through hard days.
Snacks were next and a must! We love a good snack! Michelle Money was next in line to speak. She spoke about her Money Method and I can first handedly tell you that it has changed my life, my perspective on life, and how I go through daily life. She talked about not caring about what people think of you, staying true to yourself, and minding your own business. Tears were shed, hearts filled, and paper being written on faster than I have ever seen.
JuJuBe spoke after Michelle about staying strong through motherhood. We all have a hard journey, we all have hard days, and it is okay. She left us all feeling like we aren't alone, we are strong, and we have each other to lean on.
We had BBQ for dinner and listened to our last speaker of the day Sadie Jane Sabin. Sadie spoke on self love, taking care of yourself, and her health journey. She taught us things to do to meditate and to bring our minds back to where they need to be. We all left loving ourselves just a little bit more and our minds a little bit clearer.
Each mama had a swag bag sponsored by ModFamily on their chair. ModFamily has the best of the best mom hack products from bowl covers and lids that make every cup a sippy cup to our favorite paint sticks! The swag bags were filled with Jess and I's favorite products for each mama to go home, try, and fall in love with like we have!
We were so lucky to have JUT Made do the signs for all of our sponsors with their logos and all the booths at our pamper party. If you haven't heard of them before they are the most amazing magnetic boards. The board is wooden, but the letters are all magnets. Everyone was oohing and ahhing over them!
You know giveaways are a must with Jess & I so we had the best of the best! We had 5 JuJuBe bags stuffed to the max plus 2 RodWorks gift baskets to giveaway!
Next we started our pamper night! This I think is one of the mama's favorite parts! Our booths this time were different from the first time and so much fun.
Our sweet friend Canary Jane (Natashia) came and did make & take suede earrings! It was so fun to see each mama take something home that they made especially for them.
Signature Brides & Design came and did hair and makeup again. We are in love with those girls so we love having them! Each mama could get their hair or makeup done. It was so fun to watch them have a minute where they were the one being taken care of. The smiles on their faces while they were getting their hair & makeup done are something I will never forget.
The tumblers that were on each mama's table were filled with our favorite FIIZ drinks! Each mama was able to take their tumbler out to the FIIZ truck and get a little drink to sip on while being pampered!
SmileBooth came and did a photo booth because well, when you get your hair and makeup done it needs to be documented right? Plus it was something that they were able to have to remember the night!
Jess and I are a mess when it comes to Slo-Mo booth! We just get a little slightly out of control! We loving having Busath Films come, watching the mama's watch their video back in slow motion is some of the most genuine laughs I have ever heard! I could stand and just watch people laughing at the videos all day!
A night isn't complete without dessert! Sweet Tooth Fairy had cake bites and cookies for each mama to eat while going through the pamper stations. A party isn't a party without cake and dessert am I right!?
A new booth that we were so excited to have this time was make and take bouquets! Each mama was able to pick her favorite flowers from our flower station, put together a bouquet, and take it home with her!
Our last booth was from Salt of the Earth. They came and each mama was able to make either a hand cream or a body scrub, put their own scent in it, and take it with them. They absolutely loved it and we are so grateful to Salt of the Earth for bringing their sweet girls to help these mama's make an amazing thing to take home with them!
I think it is safe to say that Momday was a hit. We had the most amazing babes to document the day for us. Sweet Kelsie EmM Photography (you know she is my absolute favorite person) to take all these stunning photos and Marley Ablehouzen to do the darling video that you can see above. We are so grateful to every single one of our sponsors (JuJuBe, Ruby Claire Boutique, ModFamily, RodWorks, & Jack & Winn). Without them this day truly wouldn't be able to happen. Thank you to each and every one of the sweet mama's who came, supported us, laughed and cried with us, and spent the day with us. You truly are our tribe and we can't thank you enough!


We commonly think of Giovanni Paisiello (1740-1816) as a composer of Italian comic opera. After all, it was he who wrote the original "Barber of Seville" in 1782, the one that came before Rossini's "Barber" of 1816. The old Mercury LP and Frequenz CD recordings of Paisiello's Il Barbiere di Siviglia I have broadcast several times over the years. I have also aired recordings of other, lesser known Neapolitan opere buffe by Paisiello, like Socrate Imaginario (1773) or La Grotta di Trofonio (1785). After the adopted son of Naples got back from his sojourn in Russia in 1784 he ceased to crank out so many of those comic operas in favor of works with more serious content. His sentimental romantic comedy Nina, ossia la Pazza per Amore (1789) was an enormous hit. I broadcast the Ricordi CD release of Nina on Sunday, August 15, 2004.
Nina has its serious moments, but Fedra (1791), is more truly an opera seria. It tells a story taken up many times before by opera composers about Hippolytus and Aricia. This operatic version of the ancient Greek legend is given a happy ending. The role of Queen Phaedra (in Italian Fedra) is a study in guilt. Fedra was staged in 2016 at the Teatro Massimo Bellini of Catania in Sicily. The production draws upon Paisiello's autograph score as preserved in the library of the Naples Conservatory. Jerome Correas conducts the chorus and orchestra of the Teatro Massimo. The Italian Dynamic record label issued Fedra on two compact discs in 2016. Dynamic informs us that this is the world premiere recording of Paisiello's work.

Man faces litany of charges for alleged attack
A Montana man was arrested Monday in Winter Park after an alleged attack on his girlfriend that left her with severe injuries.
Fraser Winter Park Police responded to a domestic disturbance call around 12:45 a.m. at the Woodspur Lodge in Winter Park and arrested Ryan Fenner, 26, of Cut Bank, Montana.
Fenner faces charges of first and second degree assault, second degree burglary, second degree kidnapping, menacing, possession of an illegal weapon, obstruction of telephone service, criminal mischief and harassment. He is being held at the Grand County Jail on a $75,000 bond.
According to the arrest affidavit, Fenner and the woman live together at the Woodspur Lodge. The woman told police that she and Fenner were in a verbal argument early Monday morning when she left their room and called her ex-boyfriend to come pick her up.
While she was outside on the phone, Fenner allegedly chased the woman down, took her phone and broke it into pieces before punching her repeatedly and hitting her with an unknown object.
According to the affidavit, the victim was unable to get up following the attack, so Fenner dragged her by her hair as he forced her back into their room. Once inside, Fenner allegedly began choking the woman and punched her again before grabbing an unloaded .38 revolver. At first, he pointed the gun at himself, the affidavit states, before turning the weapon on the woman, pointing it at her head and pulling the trigger on two different occasions.
After the second time Fenner allegedly pointed the revolver at the woman, he left the room. The woman told police she thought she could hear him grabbing bullets and loading the weapon.
While Fenner was out of the room, the woman escaped the bedroom and ran into another room at the lodge, where two witnesses say they locked the door and tried to help the woman by letting her use their cellphones.
However, according to the affidavit, Fenner forced his way into the room and convinced the woman to leave with him. As she was leaving, she tried to get away from Fenner again but he chased her, the affidavit says.
The affidavit describes the woman's injuries as severe, including having a swollen face, bruises around her eyes, red marks on her neck and several other cuts and abrasions. She was taken to Middle Park Health and treated for a concussion and numerous scrapes and bruises.
When police encountered Fenner, they questioned him about the incident and discovered he was in possession of brass knuckles, which are illegal. According to the affidavit, Fenner denied assaulting the woman. He told police she was intoxicated and received the injuries from falling. He also denied weapons being involved.
Two firearms were found on scene and seized as evidence, as well as the brass knuckles. Fenner's first court appearance is scheduled for 1 p.m. Nov. 26.

Take a step into this beautiful Edo-period (1603–1867) garden and discover a world separate from the city. Originally built to serve as a feudal lord's residence, the gardens are located on the edge of Tokyo Bay, separating sea from land and incorporating the changing tide into the garden's design.
The Hama-rikyu Gardens are built around the a central pond. In the middle of the pond is a teahouse, where you can sit down to enjoy a cup of matcha tea throughout the year. The garden's pond is connected to the sea, and water flows in and out with the tide, meaning the park is in a permanent state of flux.
Throughout the park there are a number of plum and cherry trees, which blossom throughout spring. You can see autumn foliage from the end of October, peaking in early to mid-November.
The Hama-rikyu Gardens were opened to the public in April 1946, but served as a feudal and imperial retreat for several centuries before that. The gardens were completed under the guidance of the 11th Tokugawa shogun, Tokugawa Ienari. After the Meiji Restoration of 1868, they became a villa belonging to the imperial household, before being given to the city of Tokyo in 1945.

Sexual Harassment at Workplace in India and Need for Speedy Redressal of Complaints
Kushagra Sharma
Bharati Vidyapeeth (Deemed To Be University), New Law College, Pune, Maharashtra, India.
The achievement of the objectives of equality, development and peace is hindered by the inhuman act of violence against women. The physical, sexual and mental torture against women detaches them from exercising their full potential. The concept of sexual harassment is an area of great concern. The act of sexual harassment abridges and violates the fundamental rights of a woman guaranteed under Article 14, 15 and 21 of Part III of the Constitution of India. The Convention of the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) to which India is a signatory since 1993, mandates the State Parties under Article 11 of the Convention to take necessary steps in eliminating discrimination against women in employment. India's obligation towards International Organisations like CEDAW, ICESCE, ILO & Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action. The current paper highlights the incidents of sexual harassment from Bhanwari Devi's case in 1992 which made the Hon'ble Supreme Court to lay down the guidelines in 1997 in Vishakha v. State of Rajasthan. The Court also made sure that these guidelines should be implemented both in letter and in spirit. The paper has highlight the data of sexual harassment of the past few years released by various sources like National Commission for Women (NCW) and National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB). The paper has also listed provisions of Sexual Harassment of Women at Workplace (Prevention, Prohibition and Redressal) Act, 2012 which was passed in 2013. Another important part mentioned is the recommendations made by the Justice J.S. Verma Committee report which pointed out the deficiencies in the Bill and improper implantation of Vishakha's case guidelines.
Keywords: Sexual Harassment, workplace, violence, gender equality, women, discrimination, Vishakha.


1. Grease large cookie sheet (17 x 11 inches).
2. Combine sugar, water and corn syrup in heavy-bottomed 3-quart saucepan. Cook, stirring occasionally, over medium-high heat until temperature registers 275 degrees F on candy thermometer, or soft-crack stage, about 20 minutes (mixture forms pliable strands when drizzled from a metal spoon).
3. Stir in the cashews. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally to prevent the nuts from scorching, until the temperature reaches 305 degrees F, or hard-crack stage, 5 to 7 minutes longer (mixture will be amber-colored and, when dropped into ice water and removed and bent, will snap). Remove the saucepan from the heat. Quickly stir in the vanilla and the baking soda.
4. Pour onto prepared cookie sheet, pushing brittle to edges of sheet with back of wooden spoon. As candy cools, stretch it out thinly by lifting and pulling from edges, using 2 forks. When brittle is completely cooled, loosen from sheet; break into pieces.

As you reach the Star step, you might notice that thoughts are offered one at a time and not in a list that can be easily skimmed and rated based on personal interest or preference.
It's important to remember that votes aren't being cast for America's Next Top Thought, and that we're not picking a "winner". It's about giving the exchange leader insight into what matters to the group, and doing our best to make sure everyone feels respected and heard. Our software is designed so that through a unique (but not quite random) ordering of thoughts, all thoughts get the same number of views regardless of a thought's "popularity".
This approach also helps to prevent some of those interesting little traits that we as humans are predisposed to, such as in-group bias, groupthink, and herding. As an added bonus, it makes tampering (such as ballot stuffing from special interest groups) far more difficult than in a traditional survey, since there's no easy way for anyone to predict the order in which they'll be seeing thoughts.
Instead, the wisdom of crowds helps the most relatable and relevant thoughts rise to the top naturally, which leadership teams can then take forward as actionable feedback.


This is the 150th Anniversary of Memorial Day. As the Military Appreciation Month of May concludes, we pause to remember those who gave their lives in defense of our freedoms and their families. It is so important that we remember them because we owe them such a tremendous debt of gratitude. If you know someone who has lost a loved one who served or given their lives in service to our country, take a moment to tell them how thankful you are.
This month, we honor HeroVet Mike Abrams, a Marine Veteran doing great work in educating our veterans. As they transition to the civilian world, he is helping them find the dream career they richly deserve. Through his work at Columbia University, and the FourBlock 501c3 he founded, Mike is improving the lives of our servicemen and women in significant ways. We salute him!
As we do each year, we urge everyone to take a moment to reflect during our National Moment of Remembrance. At 3 pm local time on Memorial Day Monday, pause for one minute, alone or with friends, to honor those who have died in service to our country. Set the alarm on your mobile device and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice - you will join millions of Americans in Remembrance and you will be glad you did.

National Metal Day Playlist
By Will Durkin | 11.11.2011
Friday 11/11/11, in addition to being the release date for about 1000 movies, is National Metal Day (way more important). To get you in the spirit of things, we're hooking you up with a ton of free metal MP3s, courtesy of Artery Records.
Artery Records, an independent label from Sacramento, CA founded in 2010 is home to a bunch of great metal bands. They have the full spectrum of the genre cover pretty well, from deathcore groups like Chelsea Grin and Attila, to post-hardcore group Close to Home, to metalcore with The Crimson Armada, to post hardcore with Vanna.
Chelsea Grin are named after a British soccer hooligan term. In hooligan terminology, a Chelsea grin is when you cut open the corners of a person's mouth (think the Joker in Batman) and then kick them in the groin to make their face split into a bloody grimace. Nice huh? Chelsea Grin (the band) use a foundation of hardcore grit combined with death metal technicality and grind speed in a triple guitar attack to produce as much aural harm as the back alley jaw split.
Sorry, you missed out! This song is no longer available.

I Declare War
One of the heavyweights on the deathcore scene these days, Seattle-based group I Declare War bring a diverse set of influences to their sound. To wit, their band is named after either (there is some dispute over this in the band) the name of a Jay-Z tour or a Pace Won album.
Vanna are a rising act in the legendary Boston hardcore scene, which includes legendary groups like Bane, Converge, Have Heart. With the release of their latest EP The Honest Hearts, Vanna show themselves to be well on their way to joining their heroes as an integral part of the history of that scene.
The Crimson Armada
The Crimson Armada are experimenters, merging the different genres of metal and hardcore with a whole range of other influences. While some purists may look down on this approach, groups who push boundaries further like this are the future of the genre.
Many people think of metal as a deathly serious type of music, but Attila are just here to have a good time. Describing their sound as "party death metal" the Atlanta based group's mantra is "You should do whatever it takes to have fun and enjoy the music you're hearing. A party is whatever you make it out to be." What could be rock n' roll than that?
Casino Madrid are the most recent addition to Artery Records. Hailing from sandiego, they are currently at work on their first release. Working with producer Will Puntey (Lamb Of God, Suicide Silence, For Today) they hope to take their sound to the next level. "His range is crazy," said vocalist Joe Demaio of working with Puntey. "We couldn't be more stoked to work with him."
Having toured all over the country and self releasing two EP's, Close to Home are ready to lay down their debut LP. Due out this coming February, the album represents a triumph over many adversities for the band. Having honed their sound and songwriting for years, they are ready for wherever this next step takes them.
A Bullet for Pretty Boy
With an LP and a sold out cross country tour now under their belt, A Bullet For Pretty Boy are feeling pretty good about the past year. The Texas based group, who take their name from legendary Drepression-era gangster Charles "Pretty Boy" Floyd, are part of a new generation on young metalcore groups who are rapidly gaining popularity. Keep an eye on them, they might just be then next big thing.

Matt Gonzalez is representing firm suing S.F.

Matt Gonzalez, the former San Francisco Board of Supervisors president and now chief attorney in the public defender's office, was in court the other day - but not to represent an indigent defendant.
Public Defender Jeff Adachiis allowing Gonzalez, his top deputy, to act as co-counsel for a corporation that is suing the city for $16 million - even though his office's rules appear to prohibit such moonlighting.
Gonzalez, who earns $188,259 a year from the city, is using a month of paid vacation and furlough days to help a former law partner argue Cobra Solutions Inc.'s lawsuit against the city. The company claims it was improperly barred from winning city contracts after becoming embroiled in a kickback scheme.
Cobra sued after the city filed its own suit, claiming the company was part of the fraud.
Adachi said he had no problem with his right-hand man arguing a lawsuit against the city because it was not a criminal case.
But the public defender's office's ethics rules - which Adachi helped draft - say that "no employee may provide legal advice or legal representation ... to any person or entity other than in the employee's official capacity."
Adachi, a stickler for following procedures and rules when it comes to the Police Department and other city agencies, said he had made an exception for Gonzalez because he thought his top assistant was only advising an ex-law partner.
Gonzalez, however, gave the opening arguments in the lawsuit that began last week in San Francisco Superior Court, and has since cross-examined witnesses.
"We are going to talk about that" when he returns, Adachi said.
On Tuesday, however - after we first called about the case - Gonzalez asked to go on unpaid leave until the lawsuit trial is over, and Adachi agreed.
"I'm totally flabbergasted. It is totally out of line," said Peter Keane, former chief assistant public defender and dean emeritus at the Golden Gate University Law School.
Keane, who hired both Adachi and Gonzalez and considers them both friends, said, "It is not only a complete conflict, it flies in the face of your loyalty to your main employer, the city. Matt shouldn't be doing it and Jeff never should have allowed it."
Cobra filed its cross-complaint in response to a 2003 suit by the city that claimed the company and an affiliated firm, run by the wife of Cobra's owner, had paid almost $450,000 in bribes to Marcus Armstrong, an information systems manager at the city Department of Building Inspection.
In return, the city claimed, Armstrong steered $3 million in computer technology business to the two companies.
Cobra argues that it was a victim in the scam, and is demanding up to $16 million from the city in damages for lost profits.
Armstrong has completed a three-year sentence in federal prison for his involvement. The city is expected to call him to testify today.
Gonzalez told us he represented Cobra in his private practice for many years before he returned to the public defender's office in 2011, and that he felt obligated to lend a hand when his former partner called him recently looking for help.
Gonzalez said that he will not receive any part of the judgment, if there is one.
"I think you're trying to jam me a little," Gonzalez said.
49ers gold: A reliable source tells us that the National Football League owners are likely to OK the league's $150 million share for the Niners' new Santa Clara stadium at their meeting this week.
Only $850 million to go before kickoff.
Loose lips: When it comes to weapons of choice, Chinatown powerhouse Rose Pak definitely prefers the microphone.
Just ask City Attorney Dennis Herrera, who made the twin mistakes of attacking her longtime friend Mayor Ed Leeduring the recent mayoral election - then telling a joke while sitting at the same table as Pak at the annual Chinese Hospital luncheon Tuesday at the Four Seas restaurant.
"Did you hear the latest - another woman has come out with allegations that Ross Mirkarimi abused her ... Sherry Agnos," Herrera quipped, referring to the wife of former Mayor Art Agnos - who took in the sheriff when the judge in his domestic-violence case barred him from seeing his family.
Herrera immediately realized what he had done and said, "I should have never opened my big mouth."
No kidding. Pak promptly went to the microphone and shared Herrera's little joke with all 300 officials and other guests in attendance - complete with credit to Herrera.

With the production on CAVE coming to an end, I have gone back to working on keyframe animation. It's something I think that has the potential to look better than mocap, if done correctly, but we couldn't use it for CAVE due to the amount of time it takes to do it. I started to do the keyframe animation for myself in order to improve my skills as an animator. As I began to spend multiple hours on a single animation, I began to wonder whether or not keyframe animation could ever achieve the fidelity and speed of a mocap performance. Is mocap going to render keyframe animation – oh humanoid characters at least – obsolete? I'll pose this question today but discuss it more next time after I have had time to gather more examples of motion capture. For now, I will give a quick and dirty tutorial on the basics of keyframe animation using a run cycle as an example.
Animators usually have their own unique methods when it comes to animating but most are a derivation of 2 techniques: pose-to-pose and straight ahead. Pose to pose animation is pretty much what it sounds like. The animator plans out the different poses a character is going to make over the course of a scene then fills in the frames between those poses. This technique is the most commonly used and allows an animator to carefully plan out a scene and its timing. Straight ahead animation is a more advanced technique where the animator creates the poses and in-betweens as they animate a character in a scene. The results of this method can be unpredictable but can produce a more creative and spontaneous animation. A simple animation like a run cycle generally uses pose-to-pose animation.
So the first step in creating a run cycle is finding the right poses. It's good to start with extremes then work your way down. For a run cycle, an extreme is when one of the knees has been brought up as far as the character will take it and the other leg is extended behind the character; the same goes for the arm. The chest and the pelvis will be rotated in opposite directions with the chest turned towards the leg which is raised. There will be 2 different extremes. One is used as the first and last frame of the cycle and the second will be the middle frame.
At this point, you need to decide on the length of the animation. For a run cycle, I generally use 2/3 of one second of the animation. So if you're animating at 30 FPS, your cycle would be 20 frames long.
Once the extreme poses have been locked in, you can begin making in between poses. Find the frames exactly in between the extremes – in my case they are 6 and 16 – and create a pose showing one foot firmly planted on the ground and the other passing by that foot. The arm on the opposite side of the leg that is on the ground will be moving backward. This arm will be at the lowest point in its arc at this pose. The other arm will be moving forward so it will be slightly ahead of the body and bent at the elbow. The chest and pelvis should have almost zero rotation at this point.
With this, you should have an animation with a total of 5 keyframed poses. From this point on, you will not be creating keys for the entire character. Observe the movement of each limb individually and ensure that they have arced movements like pendulums by adding keys and poses where needed. They should spend more time closer to their extremes and less time moving between them. Be sure to check the animation curves as well and adjust them to get the pendulum-like movement.
The last step is to offset the keyframes for the arms and legs. Simply move all the keys for the arms a few frames ahead of the legs – around 3 frames should be fine. Offset the chest from the pelvis by moving the chest forward as well but not quite as far as the arms. This gives the character more life as it feels like the movement of one part of the body is affecting another part of the body. It's a subtle change but it makes the animation better or at least helps the movement seem more natural.
There's a lot more to learn when it comes to animation such as the depiction of weight, creating balance, secondary motion, and follow through but this isn't the place to go over all of that. The most important thing to keep in mind making sure that no part of the character is ever completely still as that completely breaks the illusion of the character as a living thing.
Seeing all the work that goes into creating even a simple animation such as this adds credence to the idea that motion capture is better than keyframe animation due to the speed with which it can create animations. But I think there are still many concessions that have to be made while using motion capture and they will hopefully become apparent in my next post when I am able to compare a keyframed animation to a motion-captured version of it.

If you're in the market for pet insurance, Woolworths has an offer that may be im-paw-sible to re-fur-se. By taking out a new pet insurance policy, you can earn 20,000 bonus Woolworths Rewards points. That's equivalent to 8,700 Qantas Frequent Flyer points (or a $100 Woolworths voucher). As an example, the Qantas points are enough for a one-way Economy flight between Sydney and Melbourne or Brisbane.
To receive the bonus points, you may need to keep the policy for a minimum of 30 days. But with some policies costing under $10 per fortnight, the required outlay is relatively small for the bonus points on offer. So you'd be, ahem, barking mad to miss out!
To earn the 20,000 bonus Woolworths Rewards points, you would need to take out a new cat or dog insurance policy with Woolworths Pet Insurance by 24 February 2019. You must enter the promo code PET20K at the time of purchasing the policy. Make sure that you also enter your Woolworths Rewards membership number when you sign up. By doing this, you'll also receive 10% off your premiums for the first year of the policy.
According to the offer terms & conditions, it could take up to 30 days after the first full premium payment is made before the 20,000 bonus Woolworths Rewards points are awarded. As payments are made once per fortnight, this means you could expect to make at least three payments before receiving the bonus points.
Several AFF members have already taken up the offer. Policy prices vary depending on the type of animal (cat or dog) and its age, breed, whether the animal has been desexed and various other factors. Some members have been quoted prices of under $10 per fortnight. However, depending on your pet, it's possible your quote could be closer to $15-20 per fortnight.

First look–Baby Groot dominates new trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2
Filed under: Comics & Books, Fantasy Realms, Movies, Sci-Fi Café, Superheroes — 2 Comments
If 2014's blockbuster hit Guardians of the Galaxy is not in your list of Top 5 superhero movies, it's time to go back and try again. Marvel Studios released the first trailer for the sequel this week, Guardians of the Galaxy, Vol. 2, and not only is Groot back, he' not merely hiding behind Star-Lord's leg but taking the lead in the Marvel galactic universe. Chris Pratt's Star-Lord, Zoe Saldana's Gamora, Dave Bautista's Drax, Bradley Cooper's Rocket, and Vin Diesel's Baby Groot are all back in top form.
But Marvel is still holding back the new slate of stars for a future trailer. We're talking about Sylvester Stallone, Kurt Russell, and Elizabeth Debicki, and returning stars Karen Gillan as Nebula and Michael Rooker as Yondu, although we saw Rooker in the teaser we previewed earlier at borg.com here.
But what a great first look at the return of this wonderful, motley team of superheroes. Marvel calls it a teaser, but at more than two minutes and with the inclusion of actual scenes it is hardly merely a teaser. Wait no longer– Check out the first full trailer for Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 2:

Highlights and pictures from our pilgrimage to Knock Shrine
Bishop Donal McKeown, Bishop of Derry and Award Patron led the National Pope John Paul II Award Pilgrimage to Knock Shrine on Friday, 27 September 2019.
Over 600 young people traveled from across Ireland, to participate in the third National Pope John Paul II Award Pilgrimage to Knock Shrine. The theme of the pilgrimage was Life To The Full, Positive Friendships, Your Parish Needs You Now! The young people in attendance took part in prayers, readings, dance performance and activities all with the message of encouragement to become involved in your parish and grow your faith.
Young people from nine diocese across Ireland joined the pilgrimage to Knock Shrine
Speaking to over 600 young people who travelled to the National Shrine, Bishop McKeown acknowledged the courage and initiative they show by participating and completing the Pope John Paul II faith achievement award.
He recognises that doing the Award is not cool in many circles.
He told those in attendance: "Faith in Jesus is sometimes laughed at because it is not cool or is silly. Faith in Jesus is also criticised because it dares to ask awkward questions about who we are as human beings and how we can construct a just and more equal society." Bishop McKeown went on to say "The Pope John Paul II Award will be merely a gong with no real value unless you take seriously how the Gospel can help us understand where our society is damaging itself"
"Participate in the Award if you want to become involved with others in a prophetic journey of prayer, faith community building and hope building. Doing the Award is without much sense if you are unhappy with the right questions rather than happy with the wrong answers."
"The world is facing many crises, fighting and mudslinging, ecological damage and challenges to human ecology. It will not be changed by just preparing to take part in the rat race. It will be changed by those who are not afraid to be critical and to develop alternative ways of living."

Guest speaker Elma Walsh of #LiveLife Foundation
Guest speaker was Elma Walsh of the #LiveLife foundation. Elma spoke of her son Donal who sadly died of cancer at the age of sixteen. In the final months before his death Donal spoke on RTE of mental health, hospice conditions and faith for teenagers.
Elma told those in attendance how Donal knew how to live life and live it to the full. Donal used to tell his friends that "God has me in the palm of His hands and when I die I will be in His arms". He also said "Use me when I'm gone".
After Donal's death the Walsh family started the #LifeLife foundation. To date the foundation has raised over €500,00 for mental health, hospice conditions and faith for teenagers.
Music during the pilgrimage was performed by Elation Ministries with choirs and dancers from St Mary's and St Cecilia's Colleges, Derry.
Bishop McKeown celebrated the Pilgrimage Mass with Bishop Cullinan, Bishop of Waterford & Lismore.
A BIG thank you to the pilgrimage team who pulled it all together… you know who you are
