Mixtape #25 : Best Albums of 2012
Posted on January 1, 2013 • 09:05 by 5:4	in Best of the Year, Mixtapes | 3 Comments
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!
Today marks 5:4's fifth anniversary, and so i'd like to take this opportunity to thank all of you who regularly read, share and respond to the articles and music explored here. Since 2008, the blog has grown from being an occasional hobby (reading the earliest articles, that fact is rather painfully obvious) to something that now receives significantly more time and attention. i very much hope that 5:4 can grow and become even more interesting and useful in the next five years; all comments, criticisms, suggestions and other feedback is always very warmly encouraged.
But to return to the present, and to continue our annual tradition, here is a new mixtape featuring one track from each of the forty entries on my Best Albums of the Year list. The mix includes more extreme dynamic variety than in previous years, so while i've done a little to mitigate that, be warned that at times the music veers between extremely soft and very loud indeed. As ever, if you like what you hear in the mix, please support the artists and buy the music; links are included on the last two days' posts.
i've remarked in the past on the provisional nature of all 'Best of' lists, and so to keep things current, i've updated the summaries of the Best Albums/EPs of the Years, to reflect further listening than had been possible at the time; the revised lists can be found under The Lists on the main menu.
The mixtape lasts a little under 3½ hours; here's the tracklisting in full: Read more

Best Albums of 2012 (Part 1)

* Please note this list has how been superseded by the one on the Best Albums of the Years page *
This is a list surrounded by other lists leading to other lists, lists … that explain everything by being gateways into worlds of sound, feeling and information…
…the love of making lists is an attempt to remind us of what it is that has happened, and what is happening, all at once, as time and humanity collapses into itself. …
The list is a collage of hopes and wishes, of knowledge and exhibitionism.
(Paul Morley, Words and Music)
So we move on to the list of lists, the forty albums that have made the greatest impact over the last twelve months. Here are the first twenty to have made the cut.

Mixtape #23 : Modern Troubadours
Posted on July 1, 2012 • 15:13 by 5:4	in Mixtapes | 2 Comments
Creatively, my thoughts have been heavily focused on song in the last couple of months, so i've made that the focus of the new 5:4 mixtape. Songs as we think of them today more or less conform to a generic, prefabricated mould that's often at odds with their lyric content. Not all artists are prepared to compromise so readily, though, and the sixteen songs on this mixtape represent a rather more rare breed of song. i think of these artists as modern troubadours, for whom the the content of their song is such that it demands a break from convention, and the opportunity for a more experimental type of expression.
These songs, which range in duration between 7 and 17 minutes, encompass a wide variety of approaches to the art of song. Some, such as those by Deerhoof and maudlin of the Well, take experimental and progressive rock as their starting point, while Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Transvision Vamp opt for episodic epics, betraying the legacy of 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Janelle Monáe's approach is to create what amounts to a 9-minute musical, while Kevin Barnes' of Montreal beg, borrow and steal from a plethora of pop, dance and rock idioms to convey his typically bizarre narrative. By contrast, Dead Can Dance tell their tale via a hypnotic, circling music that pushes the words firmly into the foreground; despite the complexity of their electronic backdrop, Ulver achieve the same result by speaking their lyrics. Julia Holter makes her words count, summarising them in the first three minutes and allowing them to radiate for another ten; Fovea Hex do something similar in their rethinking of folk music. Others have more to say and take longer to do it; Jenny Hval puts herself on a kind of musical knife-edge, fragile before a pale, sparse backdrop, while David Sylvian surrounds himself with a network of improvised lines and motes that would be impenetrable if they weren't so scattered. Tori Amos turns to her trusty Bösendorfer in what is still her longest song to date, whereas Joanna Newsom (in her longest song) has her complex harp epicentre heavily enriched by lush orchestrations provided by Van Dyke Parks. Beginning and ending the mix are songs by perhaps the great troubadour of our age, Scott Walker, a pair of songs from his last two albums that explore a depth of lyrical expression that's pretty much unique in the history of song.

It's 1 January, which means it's 5:4's birthday, and today we're three years old. Having spent several days looking back on last year's most outstanding releases, what better way could there be to start the new year than with a new mixtape, featuring one track from each of my forty best albums of 2010. As you'd expect, it's another extremely eclectic mix, and this time lasts a little over three-and-a-half hours. If you like the mix (and how could you not?!), please support the artists and buy their excellent music.

Bringing the year to a very happy end, here's the second twenty of my forty Best Albums of 2010:
20 | Anders Brødsgaard – Galaxy
In terms of CD releases, precious little contemporary instrumental music has made any kind of impression this year, which i find rather worrying. Not so with Anders Brødsgaard, whose 40-minute orchestral work Galaxy, composed over 10 years ago, finally found a release on the innovative Danish Dacapo Records label. A work of that scale, composed as a single movement span, is likely to put off some people, but it's such a relief to hear music not constrained by the kind of generic limitations that afflict so much new music. Brødsgaard lives up to his cosmic title; drawing on a plethora of compositional ideologies, and structuring them on a spiral, he's created one of the richest orchestral works i've heard in a long time.
19 | Get Well Soon – Vexations
Neil Hannon pissed away his credentials as a pop sophisticate long ago, and the mantle has fallen to Konstantin Gropper, whose Get Well Soon project has been gradually making a name for itself over the last few years. His unique brand of instrumental pop, akin to Belle and Sebastian but more bullish, is brilliantly displayed on Vexations, the lyrics of which are worthy of a lengthy discussion in their own right. i wrote at length about this album back in March, and my views have, if anything, intensified; ever serious but always accessible, Gropper's melodies are utterly exquisite, augmented by the deftest of instrumental accompaniments.

Aching with exuberance: of Montreal – False Priest
Posted on September 18, 2010 • 12:18 by 5:4	in CD/Digital releases | Leave a comment
My first encounter with of Montreal's 2008 album Skeletal Lamping was a bewildering experience. For anyone unfamiliar with it, its apparent 15 tracks are nothing but a ruse; in fact, there are many more than that, the album lurching between portions of song, seeking neither clarity nor indeed coherence. On the one hand, there's something maddening about it, but what Skeletal Lamping projected most was a riotous celebration of the sheer joy of song-making, the jump-cuts so many signs of unbounded enthusiasm. For all its structural oddness, it was nonetheless irresistable, carrying the audience along on an unstoppable tide of invention. Their new album, False Priest, unleashed earlier this week, is therefore among the releases that i've been most excitedly ancitipating this year.
First things first: False Priest's 13 tracks are (almost) all present and correct in their entirety; of Montreal—as one might have guessed, considering their highly evolutionary history—have wisely not attempted to repeat past experiments. If anything, what songwriter Kevin Barnes has done in this new outpouring is find ways to incorporate the kind of stylistic eclecticism heard on Skeletal Lamping into cogent songs positively aching with exuberance. There's undeniably a powerful sense of past musics informing each song at its deepest level, but while in the hands of lesser bands this can become a kind of shallow pastiche bordering on a piss-take (sadly, the road down which Scissor Sisters seem determined to travel), of Montreal's unbridled imagination takes the essence of former idioms rather than just their surface gloss, and the result—for all its apparent 'retro' chic—is unequivocably new.

Mixtape #11 : Joy
Posted on April 19, 2009 • 19:36 by 5:4	in Mixtapes | Leave a comment
Following a hectic Easter weekend, and a few days spent in Cambridge, here's a new mixtape, the theme this time being joy. To start, a wonderful jazz-folk fusion number from Yellowjackets; Greenhouse is an album i've loved for years, and "Freda" is one of its most exciting tracks. It's followed by the last movement from one of Michael Tippett's earliest mature compositions; strident and full of momentum, it briefly allows a moment or two of wistful reflection before culminating in an elated dance. Freezepop's latest album remains their one consistent release, and "Ninja of Love" is one of its most infectious songs. Continuing the pace like a runaway train is the opening track from Squarepusher's brilliant 2006 album Hello Everything, "Hello Meow", filled with retro synths and riffs. Each album by Deerhoof has its share of instrumentals, and "Rainbow Silhouette Of The Milky Rain" bludgeons its experimental way along in rip-roaring fashion. The mix now enters a gentler mode, beginning with Imogen Heap's ravishing track "Just For Now", all glorious (if realistic) optimism. And then Björk, who has surely composed some of the most unreservedly happy songs ever; "All Is Full Of Love" is here given extra treatment in the form of beats and strings, becoming if anything, more ecstatic than the original version. The "Communion" from Tournemire's Easter music shows him at his mystical best, placing the plainsong themes into complex, shimmering chords that hover and float in rapture. Julee Cruise, bless her, only knows extremes: her music is either abjectly mournful ("The Dying Swan") or caught up in ecstasy, as she is here, in one of her most well-known songs. Read more
Tags: Björk, Charles Tournemire, Deerhoof, Eric Whitacre, Freezepop, Goldfrapp, Imogen Heap, Jean Langlais, Joanna Newsom, Julee Cruise, Michael Tippett, of Montreal, Operator Please, Patrick Gowers, Squarepusher, The Pipettes, Trevor Wishart, Underworld, Yellowjackets
Mixtape #9 : Best of 2008
Posted on January 1, 2009 • 18:30 by 5:4	in Mixtapes | Leave a comment
Today 5:4 is one year old, and to celebrate that—and continue the celebration of the best albums of last year, here's a new mixtape, featuring tracks from each of those albums. Not surprisingly, it's the most eclectic mix so far, and also the longest, just a few seconds shy of 3 hours. Start 2009 with the best of 2008—enjoy!
Here's the tracklisting in full: Read more
Tags: AGF, Andrew Liles, Autechre, Bass Communion, Bersarin Quartett, Beyond Sensory Experience, Byetone, Celer, Christopher McFall, Colin Andrew Sheffield, Daniel Menche, Deerhoof, Evan Marc, Fennesz, Goldfrapp, Gregor Samsa, Hammock, Implex Grace, Johnny Hollow, Ladytron, Lawrence English, Matmos, Matthieu Ruhlmann, Mosaique, Nadja, Nine Inch Nails, Nurse With Wound, of Montreal, Operations, Operator Please, Pantaleimon, Parenthetical Girls, Peteris Vasks, Portishead, Ran Slavin, Salvatore Sciarrino, Specta Ciera, Squarepusher, Stephan Mathieu, Steve Hillage, Steve Peters
It's been difficult deciding what i feel are the best albums of 2008. Partly, because i've listened to so many (of the 667 albums i've listened to this year, 141 of them were released in 2008), but also because i'm conscious of a number of albums that i haven't yet listened to, and which could well appear in this list. Anyhow, all lists of this kind are provisional, so as things stand today, here are the 5:4 Best Albums of 2008:
40 | Squarepusher – Just A Souvenir
On the one hand, this album isn't as successful as Squarepusher's last and best album, Hello Everything. On the other hand, Tom Jenkinson is just so talented that even failed experiments like this are better than most. Quite what led him to resurrect 70s electronics and seek to incorporate it into his style is anyone's guess, but he's hardly alone in doing so. At times it's downright annoying, and overall there's a diminished sense of unity across the album; yet tracks like "Tensor in Green" and "Quadrature" are brilliant demonstrations of the kind of synthesis of which Jenkinson is capable.
39 | Nurse With Wound – Huffin' Rag Blues
NWW have turned down the absurdism somewhat on this release, allowing the jazz inflections to come through unfettered. Nonetheless, there's still sufficient surreal juxtaposition of material for this to be a superbly eclectic electroacoustic outing. "The Funktion of the Hairy Egg" is especially effective, and the outstanding track on this disc, which also features irr. app. (ext.)'s Matt Waldron and is mixed by Andrew Liles.
38 | Gregor Samsa – Rest
Another great album from this band, who are able to sound simultaneously languorous and ecstatic. At times it's a little too shoegaze for its own good, but most of the album is particularly effective, and sometimes strikingly delicate. The vocals, in particular, are often ethereal to the point of becoming inaudible, providing a wonderful mysterious surface beneath which the textures can drift and intermingle.
37 | Byetone – Death Of A Typographer
Despite being fairly typical Raster-Noton material, this album displays real variety, encompassing lovely ambient episodes along with the familiar glitchy electronica. There's a markedly industrial tone to the beats, but they're delivered with such panache that they never feel oppressive. It also lacks the coldness that seems to accompany, say, Alva Noto's recent material (although, having said that, i really liked this year's Unitxt, despite it not appearing in this list); this is surprisingly light and warm dance music.
36 | AGF – Words Are Missing
A rapid, insistent album, with Antye Greie's voice (along with pretty much all other sounds) fragmented into a myriad shards. The constructions she makes from these pieces are consistently engaging, while not perhaps representing the best of her work; at times, the music are off-puttingly minimalistic. Nonetheless, the deep beats that permeate the tracks give them a potent physicality that is infectious; and, as in "Dread In Strangers Eyes", influences of musique concrète and collage-like techniques give the album a fascinating variety.
35 | Ladytron – Velocifero
There are distinct traces of Curve in Ladytron's latest release, which is most definitely no bad thing. This is particularly the case with "Runaway", recently released as a single and easily the best track on the album. First and foremost, though, Ladytron have brought out their best album to date, filled with dirty, somewhat languid rock-tronica.
34 | Deerhoof – Offend Maggie
i wrote about this album back in October, and my initial disappointment about this album has, to some extent, given way to (i hope) a deeper appreciation. It still doesn't quite capture the unbridled fire and passion of Friend Opportunity, but there's a maturity present here that perhaps i wasn't expecting. A flawed masterpiece it may be, but any group or album that can come up with a track as astonishing as "Jagged Fruit" is nothing less than brilliant.
33 | Stephan Mathieu – Radioland
A curious assemblage of thoughtful meditations, this is ambient from a more heavyweight perspective. At least, that's the way it comes across, like vast heavy nimbus clouds, their complex inner structures ever shifting. The result is powerfully hypnotic, and often very beautiful, particularly "Auf der Gasse".
32 | Implex Grace – Through Luminescent Passages II
i wrote a fair bit about this release back in November, so i won't repeat that here. Since then Michael Goodman has made it clear to me that what i perceived as a lack of direction is something quite intentional on his part, and while i'm prepared to accept that, the brevity of the tracks, i feel, still militates against the kind of 'meditative' state he desires. All the same, it's still an interesting counterpart to volume 1, focusing more on the noise end of the ambient continuum. It's still available free of charge, here, in FLAC and mp3 formats, direct from Goodman's netlabel, Distance Recordings.
31 | Ran Slavin – Nocturnal Rainbow Rising
Ran Slavin's latest release is another free download, from the excellent Crónica netlabel. It's a disc that demonstrates real skill at shaping sound, as well as formidable restraint, the tracks given space to develop at their own pace, never seeming forced along. Its use of bass frequencies to punctuate the material is very striking; "Pure Honey in Lack One" is perhaps the best example.
30 | Specta Ciera – Mystic Valley Parkway
Yet another free album, released through Distance Recordings, and available here. This is music reassuringly difficult to categorise, bringing together diverse sound sources into a melange within which they briefly become obvious before being re-absorbed. At times ("I Lost The Dream Archive") it becomes really breathtaking, dazzling the ear with its restless activity. Read more

Parks and Recreation launched a new program in 2015, the Fayetteville Race Series. This series is comprised of 6-8 annual events that vary between running, cycling, and multi-sport activities. Each event is different and offers something for everyone. Until now, Parks and Recreation has not offered programs of the racing nature. In a place like Fayetteville, where beautiful parks and trails are in abundance, there are plenty of ways to be physically active in the community! By offering a race series, Parks and Recreation plans to enhance the already active culture of Northwest Arkansas, while also reaching a new audience. The Fayetteville Race Series is a grassroots effort that will grow to become a premier race series here in Arkansas.
Details and registration information are listed on each event page that can be accessed by the left screen panel of this page. A brief overview of each event can be viewed at the tabs below.
There are plenty of opportunities to be involved with the Fayetteville Race Series. Volunteers are key to successful events! Volunteer shifts and details are posted for each event on Give Pulse. No experience needed, just a friendly face and willingness to work!

Most explanations the medical profession gives for depression is to simply rephrase the symptoms of depression without ever getting to the root of the problem. One thing is for sure though, depression is a mental phenomenon.
Sure, there are some physical maladies that share some of the same symptoms as depression, but depression cannot be cured with drugs. Since depression is in the mind, we need to look at exactly what is happening in the mind.
The mind is not your brain. The mind is a vast collection of thoughts, memories, emotions and desires. You just know they are there. That's the mind.
Depression arises from the unknown; not knowing how a situation is going to turn out; not understanding why things are happening the way they are; feeling like you aren't in control of your life. It is an out-of-control thought process that usually consists of regurgitating happenings from the past.
We can't change the past–it's gone! We can learn from the experiences of the past, but we've got to learn to let go and live in the present moment. There's a saying that goes something like "If you're stressed you're living in the future, if you're depressed, you are living in the past." So true isn't it?
The signs, symptoms, and effects we experience with stress and depression are very similar, and many of them are in the body, but the root cause of both stress and depression is always in the mind. That's good news! That means that you are the one in control of treating it.
how to go beyond Depression?
There are two approaches we can take to deal with depression. The first approach is something you can do NOW! a quick relief! The second approach takes a little more commitment from you, but is a thoroughly rewarding process of going beyond depression once and for all.
1) Visit with a friend, talk about everything positive. Avoid getting into a "pity party".
2) Get creative. Make something pretty, do something fun, something you've never done before. This will get your mind off the same-old-nagging thought processes.
3) Pay close attention to the language of the conversation in your mind during a depressing situation. Make a conscious effort to avoid negative conversation. When you start feeling this way, you can think of a color: let's say "red". Repeat the word "red, red, red, red" in your mind, picture the color red, and do this until your mind is saturated with the color red, and the depressing thoughts are crowded out. Sounds weird, but it works!
4) If there are irritating things in your life like a table that you constantly stump your toe on, a door that squeaks, a broken lid, or something similar, FIX IT! All these little things just add to your nagging thoughts. Straighten up your house or your room. A clean, tidy environment works wonders for a depressed mood.
5) Have pets and connect with nature around you. Nature has the power to heal your depression. Fresh air does wonders for helping create pleasant thoughts.
6) Listen to pleasant and uplifting instrumental music. Listen to birds and sounds of nature. Drink a cup of tea while you're listening. Drink from a nice cup–you deserve it!
7) Don't worry about things you can't control! This just adds to the negative roller-coaster ride in your mind.
8) Practice love, compassion and forgiveness. Don't harbor negative feelings of anger, resentment or jealousy.
9) Your emotional state affects your thought process, and this in turn affects your stress and depression levels. Learn to identify and control your different emotional states.
10) Learn to be mindful of your actions throughout the day. Be in the moment. Don't dwell on the past–you CAN'T change it! Everything happens like it's supposed to happen and we can only change things that are in this moment–remember that. If there's something you can do in this moment to make life better, NOW is the time to do it. Not tomorrow. Not yesterday.
Dealing with immediate symptoms of depression will only provide short-term relief. To be able to reduce your depression levels on a longer run and to eventually go beyond depression, you have to take a more scientific and systematic long-term approach.
To help you go beyond depression permanently, we have designed a comprehensive online program with all the necessary resources, tools and guidance. "Inner-Revolution" is one of the most effective programs designed to overcome stress, anxiety & depression fully.


Keep looking for the authentic Slovak food. It's there, and it's coming back in style. The communists tried to kill the Slovak cuisine, but it does exist, and it is delicious. Try the Marina Restaurant in Dolny Kubin. And a fantastic nouveau cuisine restaurant in Bratislava is San Martin.


Setting clear objectives and purpose for your plan will help to carry out four main interrelated actions: mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. This systematic approach will minimize the overall impact of an emergency. Additionally, include several groups of people in this stage of the planning process to prepare a more comprehensive plan that will include every part of the organization.
The "hazards, then actions, then resources" sequence will aid in identifying many considerations for your plan.
HAZARDS: Sequential events, casualties, evacuation, facility & equipment damage of any kind, loss of records & disruption of work (downtime).
RESOURCES NEEDED: Trained personnel, medical supplies, power generators or deployable power, auxiliary communication equipment, respirators, chemical & radiation detection equipment, mobile equipment, protective clothing, ambulance & rescue equipment.
To successfully carry out a disaster preparedness plan, make sure that more than one individual is qualified and trained to execute the plan in case the original coordinator is not able to do so. When appointing plan leaders, be very specific in describing their authority, responsibilities and what resources they will need to follow through with their part of the plan.
After the plan has been thoroughly worked out and written down, delegate parts of the plan to all appropriate groups of people throughout your organization. Prepare the groups for exercises and drills to test your plan. Testing your plan will help everyone to better understand their roles as well as identify additional predictions of possible emergency situations and outcomes. Reviewing and testing the plan on an annual or bi-annual basis is ideal for keeping the plan updated with any new processes, changes, personnel and materials used.
Disaster preparedness shows your commitment to the safety of your people as well as promotes safety awareness (in general). Having an "it can't happen here" outlook puts your people and facilities at risk for an organizational collapse. In the event you need help with cable or temporary power storage, we're ready to help with the most-needed products, in stock & ready to ship.

Suicide is no solution for Pakistan's Working Class
This afternoon I received a call from Zulfiqar Mehto, a close friend of mine who works for the Aaj television channel. He asked me to come to the Lahore Press Club immediately. I realized the urgency in his voice and left the informal chat I was having with Furrukh Suhail Goindi and Khalid Malik. I reached the press club within minutes.
When I arrived I saw several journalists and the police talking to a family. Zulfiqar Mehto briefed me: "This man tried to commit suicide by pouring petrol on himself. He was saved by some journalists and now the police want to arrest him for attempting to commit suicide. He is demanding that government build a home for him and his family." My friend demanded that I do something to help. The journalists were sympathetic but didn't know what to do.
I went over to the man, who was standing with wife, their two daughters (2) and (4) and his mother. I asked him to accompany me. I told him that I was from the Labour Party and there to help. The police officer must have recognized me because he did not say a single word or tried to arrest him.
I asked the family to come with me to the nearby Labour Education office, where we asked him to tell us his story. We had the family freshen up and then served some tea.
He told me "For the last four months we have been sleeping on the pavement. No one will help us. I have gone to the offices of Mian Nawaz Sharif, Shahbaz Sharif, to the Baitumal office, and to the house of the chief minister. We cannot live like animals. I have been protesting for three days, but no journalist is willing to print my story. They tell me that the newspaper owners will not print such a non-story. Today I thought if I burned myself to death maybe it would help my family.
His name is Zulfiqar Bukhari, he is from a village near Multan. He's a 29-year-old driver who has been out of a job for some months. "My father married another woman and left my mother alone with three children. She did domestic work for us. Now I cannot feed the family. We came to Lahore to search for a job and a house. I have letters of recommendation from many officials but papers cannot fill our stomaches. It is my right to have a home. I just want to work and a place to live. I am not a beggar."
We listened to the story of his life and thought about how to persuade him not to burn himself.
After some time I asked him to stop and listen to us. "You would have been dead if journalists have not snatched the match box. What about your two beautiful little daughters, your young wife and elderly mother? It is your illusion that if you die some politician will help your family. We know from everyday experience, they talk good, but do nothing. You are a coward. By burning yourself to death you are saying that 'I must leave my family to the mercy of others. I am dying, they may go to hell.' But you are skilled worker, we can find you a job.
"If you stop this nonsense about killing yourself and get yourself a job, you can find a real love for your family. We cannot help you if you do not want to help yourself. We will fight with you and demand from the government that they give you a home. If you lead a working-class life, this will be a story for the press, from suicide to normality. Then I can help arrange such a press conference."
His wife told us that he did not tell her about his plan to burn himself. He had asked the family if they wanted to drink water. "We were sitting in front of Lahore Press Club, thirsty and hungry, and he left. But he went to nearby patrol pump to buy some patrol. I do not know who gave him money.
"When he came back to us, he waited for some journalists to come by and then he poured the whole bottle of petrol on himself. I realized what he was about to do and made a noise. That is how he was saved," she said.
Zulfiqar was ashamed and asked what we could do for him. I explained that we are not capitalists and can only help him find a job. He said "Even if I do find a job, I cannot live with my family in Lahore. It is too expensive. I cannot afford it."
I asked if they had a place to live in his village. He said yes, so I suggested that he take his family there to live for the time being and come back to us. We will help him look for a job.
We offered him the fare to return to the village with his family. He said he would accept with one condition, that it was only a loan. That we agreed. I checked his papers and driving license. He had many letters of recommendation: from the DCO Multan, from a minister, three letters from the chief minister's office and so on.
Zulfiqar told me that he will be back by Saturday.
The economic crisis has left many families without breadwinners and the government offers no plan to deal with this growing crisis. As a result, some breadwinners are committing suicide in the hope that a rich politician will take up the case and announce they will help the suicide's family. People begin to believe that if there is news of a suicide, it will help the family. But for every one such incident that may be reported, many more die an anonymous death.
We must discourage such practices among working-class families and offer a way forward.

Welcome to the Pilates blog.
It's sad to say, but summer is over. It's getting dark earlier and more difficult to get out of bed in the mornings. Motivation and energy levels are on the wane.
But this is where exercise comes in. Nothing raises your energy faster and more effectively than exercise. The simple act of moving can jump-start your metabolic machinery. Recent research shows that exercise has a direct, immediate effect on energy – if you do nothing more than stand up and hop up and down for three minutes, you will feel a surge of energy, and most likely a boost in your mood.
How does exercise boost energy levels?
An increase in endorphin levels. Endorphins are natural hormones in the body that get released when we are doing something that requires a burst of energy. They give us the energy to keep moving.
Better heart health. Exercise boosts cardiovascular health, which allows you to have greater endurance throughout the day. When it's easier to do your daily activities, you'll have energy left and not feel so tired at the end of the day.
Improved sleep. Exercise allows you to get a better night's rest; when you get quality sleep, you feel perkier during the day.
Reformer Pilates is a great way to re-energise. The physical conditioning, as well as the emphasis on breath control leaves you feeling worked out, relaxed and invigorated.
Going back to breath control, those of you who do Pilates will know that it's key to the Pilates method. Each exercise has a different breathing pattern, designed to get the most out of your muscles, while increasing oxygen to your brain – giving you more energy.
• Stay hydrated, lack of fluids is a major cause of fatigue, since they transport nutrients and oxygen to our cells and organs.
• Make stress work for you, stress has a bad rap but a certain amount of positive stress is good for us. Add some challenge to your life, whether it's taking a writing or painting class, learning a new hobby or asking for more responsibility at work.
• Don't skip breakfast, the word breakfast literally means "to break a fast," and your body can't shift into full gear when it hasn't had fuel.
• Keep your iron in check, sluggishness especially in women, may be a sign of low iron. Women aged 19 to 49 need 18 to 30 milligrams a day of this mineral (eight milligrams after age 50), which helps the blood absorb energy-producing oxygen.
• Cut out caffeine, caffeine stimulates adrenalin release and blocks a relaxing brain chemical called adenosine. The net result is that it jazzes up your body and produces a stress reaction; once the initial jolt wears off you're left feeling even more tired than before.
The Long Spine exercise is a great one for energising. It is an inverted pose – meaning your head is below your heart. This gets more blood flowing to the brain, which results in physical and mental revitalisation.
The exercise is also great for strengthening and stretching the spine, working the core and toning the legs. You can also do this on the floor.
Lie down on the reformer with your feet on the footbar.
Here's the part of the blog where we answer your burning questions about Pilates. So if you're wondering which Reformer exercise will best target your gluteus, or why your abs shake while you're holding your plank, post them below, Tweet us, or send us a message on Facebook.
Q: Should I do Reformer Pilates when I have aches and pains?
A: Muscle soreness that occurs 24 to 48 hours after exercise is normal, especially if you're not used to exercising or have pushed yourself hard. It would be a good idea not to strain the sore muscles further with strenuous exercise but you can definitely continue with moderate exercise, and it will probably make you feel better.
Joint pain: This is different to muscle soreness and should not be dismissed or ignored. Exercise should not result in pain in the joints.
Shooting pains: If you have shooting pains anywhere, it might indicate a neural problem. If they persist, you would probably benefit from seeing an Osteopath or a Physiotherapist.
Persistent pain or swelling: If a pain persists for longer than two weeks or gets worse, see a healthcare professional, especially if the pain doesn't respond to standard treatment methods (e.g., rest, ice, over-the-counter pain medications). Persistent swelling in or around the area of pain is also a warning sign.
Don't forget that pain is the body's way of communicating to us that a problem exists and a potential injury may be on the horizon.
Q: How is Reformer Pilates different than weight training or other resistance exercise?
A. Firstly, let me say that strength training is great for building muscle, which is important. Strong muscles protect against bone loss, help increase your metabolism, and aid in preventing osteoporosis, but weight training is not the easiest way to fine tune and fine tone muscles.
This is where Pilates comes in. It's perfect for toning those smaller muscles that are hard to target with weight machines. By using your upper and lower body strength to move your body, every muscle is targeted in multiple ways.
Q: Can men do Reformer Pilates?
A: Absolutely! Because it does a good job strengthening the lower abdominal and pelvic muscles that are important for a woman's childbearing, reproductive and urinary function, and because it doesn't involve heavy steel, grunting or large amounts of weight, Pilates is often perceived as a "women's only" activity.
But nothing could be further from the truth. Firstly, Pilates was invented by a man (Joseph Pilates). His work was never gender specific and in fact, his influence came hugely from martial arts techniques & the study of animal movement, in particular cats – think shell stretch.
Secondly, plenty of male athletes such as Andy Murray and Amir Khan, and the entire England Cricket Team practice Pilates alongside weight training and cardio.
How's this for a spectacle?
On September 10, more than 1,000 people took part in a Pilates class at the place where its German creator, Joseph Pilates was interned on the Isle of Man, during World War One.The class was inspired by a postcard depicting internees putting on a Pilates display, just 15 days after Pilates' arrival at the Knockloe camp. The Knockaloe camp was divided into 23 compounds each designed to hold 1,020 internees.Organisers recreated that figure for the one-off 45-minute class.

Welcome to the autumn edition of the Tempo Pilates blog. Can you believe it's September already?! The summer holidays are over and we're reluctantly getting back to into our normal routines – including exercise.
While it may be hard motivating yourself back into the Pilates studio, I hope to inspire you with this month's blog, which is all about strength building, and specifically, how a sports massage can complement your Pilates practice and make you even stronger.
This blog post was inspired by one of my Pilates students, who started complaining of painful hip flexors when performing certain exercises on the Reformer. Despite lots of hip flexor stretches, the pain got worse and started impeding her practice.
I suggested she tried a Sports Massage, and she promptly booked one with West London based Tamara Knight, who had been highly recommended by other Pilates students.
After one session, which included a detailed consultation, muscle testing and a deep tissue massage, she was amazed by the results. She came out with looser hips, a diagnosis of Lordosis, (an exaggerated lumbar curve in the spine) which was the cause of her hip flexor pain and tightness, a detailed report explaining the condition and a list of stretches to help strengthen them and get the most out of her Reformer classes.
I caught up with Tamara, an avid Pilates student herself, to ask her about the benefits of Sports Massage, and how it can help Pilates students improve their own practice.
Q: What is a sports massage and how does it help?
A: Sports massage can help anyone with a soft tissue injury, either from a sporting activity or an overuse injury (which is not always sports related). The aim of sports massage is to restore muscle balance, health and strength in the body, so it's very much in line with the aims and goals of Pilates.
A: Sports Massage therapists use various techniques to release trigger points in the muscles, allowing them to relax.
I use various manual deep-tissue techniques, such as Muscle Energy and Soft Tissue techniques (both of which stretch and strengthen muscles) and Jonas Strain Counter Strain, which is a passive positional release. This technique relaxes and dissipates muscle strain, restoring joint mobility.
Every technique is designed to stretch the muscle fibres in all directions on a micro level, to release tension and pressure buildup, while increasing permeability. This allows for the efficient removal of waste products such as lactic acid, which enables the muscles to take up oxygen and nutrients, which speeds up recovery time, post-exercise.
Q: How can sports massage improve Pilates practice?
A: By restoring a greater range of movement to the affected muscles, the client can move more freely during their practice, allowing them to build greater strength without being held back by injuries.
Q: Can you tell me about the muscle testing service you offer and how it can benefit Pilates students?
A: As part of my training, I was taught how to 'test' the muscles and other structures involved in the movement of the body. Offered as part of the initial consultation, muscle testing enables me to pinpoint which structures, joint, muscle, tendons or ligaments are involved in the restriction, pain or injury.
It involves me testing muscle groups through active, passive and loaded movements. The results highlight which parts of the body are responsible for pain and need working on.
If the problem is muscular, I can work on the muscles indicated in the tests. If it's not muscular, I can refer you to the right medical professional for a diagnosis and further help.
Q: I suffer from motion sickness on the Reformer. How can I prevent this?
People often work out in the morning before breakfast, but that means the body has had no fuel since dinner the night before, causing your blood sugar levels to plummet.
This will make you feel nauseous and weak. You're better off having a light breakfast – preferably some protein and/or complex carbohydrates to get you through your class.
Orthostatic hypotension is the technical name for that dizzy feeling you get when you stand up too fast. The sudden drop in blood pressure can be caused many medications. It can also be caused by blood pressure that is too low or another health problem.
If you experience dizziness often when exercising, you should see your doctor.
If there's a particular exercise that gives you that feeling, perform the movement more slowly, or leave it out of your routine altogether.
Another cause of a motion sickness is letting your gaze drift as you are moving. In Pilates, the head should be held in line with the spine and the gaze level from there.
If your eyes are wandering or off centre while you are moving, it can make you feel dizzy.
If you are on a Reformer, it can be helpful to pick one spot to look at rather than letting the eyes be unfocused with the world passing by.
Q: Will Tempo Pilates help me lose weight?
A: A lot of people starting exercise are looking for one thing that will give them all-round strengthening as well as help them lose weight. There are very few activities that will do it all, so it's important to have a balance of different types of exercise to benefit your overall health.
Weight loss occurs when the body uses more calories than it takes in. To tap into the energy stored as fat, you need to a) increasing your Basal Metabolic Rate and b) be doing a cardio activity that gets your heart rate up and sustains it at that level for around 20 minutes or more.
One of the most basic principles that many people overlook when trying to lose weight is simple: boosting your metabolic rate. Your "normal" metabolism is better known as your Basal Metabolic Rate and it is the baseline of how your body metabolizes the food that you eat in order for it to be expended as energy.
This is also the natural rate at which your body burns calories throughout the day regardless of your activities. By increasing your Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR for short) you will ultimately hold the key to weight loss success and the maintenance of that weight for as long as you like.
The most effective way to boost your BMR is intense exercise routines perform during Tempo Pilates classes due to the resistance work provided by the reformer and help your body to start burning more calories while you are at rest and even while sleeping at night.

Commodore Amiga fans from Ireland and beyond were able to enjoy an amazing get-together a little over a week ago, with a great turnout, fun and fascinating exhibits, and a remarkable range of guests! This report was sent in to RCN by Jarlath Reidy.
The Commodore Amiga Users Ireland Meetup 2017 took place at The Prince of Wales Hotel in Athlone on 21 January 2017, and despite being set in the very heart of Ireland, there was very much an international flavour to the event, with Irish Amigans being only too delighted to meet their friends who had travelled from overseas places such as England, Scotland, Poland, Germany – and even New Zealand! Such is the nature of world-wide Amiga fandom today.

Bill lived in California and Nevada before moving from Incline Village NV to the Grass Valley area in 1974. After working for Bill Schultz, he owned the Grass Valley Exxon on Colfax Avenue, giving out treats to the kids and posting a daily joke on the station blackboard. It was one of the last full-serve gas stations in town.
Bill was predeceased by his parents, William Howard Cara and Frances Bryant Cara Spahn and his first wife, Kristina "Sue" Gardner. He is survived by his children, Jeanice (Lynn) Deering and Christy Smith from his first marriage and by his former wife, Donna Alger and their children William Scott Cara, Kelli (Kevin) Knutson and Laura (Chris) Paul along with Donna's son Jeff (Lisa). He is also survived by his wife of 47 years, Cynthia Hutzler Cara and her son, Richard Lance Johns, and predeceased by her children, Louis Johns and Michelle Johns. He raised, and he loved all nine children, even teaching them to drive. Not an easy job for a parent! Bill is also survived by 25 Grandchildren, 16 Great Grandchildren and 1 Great-great Grandchild. He is also survived by his brother, George (Cathy) Spahn and sisters, Sara Spahn Shafer, Margaret (James) Spahn Poland and Susan Spahn Gaines.
Bill collected football cards and stamps, enjoyed guns and hunting in his younger days, was a rock hound, history buff, gardener, builder and mechanic. He loved to read (read the Bible every day) and watch the Giants and 49ers. His mother, Frances, instilled in him a love of God.

The digital age brings a set of challenges for traditional scholarship – some good and some not so good. The digital revolution has brought access and connection to information unimagined a short generation ago. Expanding relationships with diverse audiences, new tools (multimedia), and new ways of communicating are all a consequence of this digital advance. Scholarship is not shielded from this new frontier. The quickening pace of digital information gathering, processing, and dissemination has brought with it the expectation of instantaneous scholarship. Scholars writing blogs and using Twitter to transmit knowledge and a message is now commonplace. Articles and books may soon recede into the background as knowledge consumers demand just-in-time analysis. We are not at this point, but surely, we are at the point where scholars are thinking and writing differently to be heard and recognized in this information explosion.
This forum explores some of the aforementioned challenges and opportunities. Our panel of thought leaders will discuss the new digital paradigm and what it means for scholarly inquiry – and the emergence of public scholarship, a term which encompasses diverse ways of creating and circulating knowledge for and with different public audiences and communities.

When Playboy Magazine Endorsed Radical Design
Design & LivingIn Pictures
Designs For Living, © Playboy Magazine, July 1961
From 1953 to 1979, the erotic title championed a new wave of architectural modernism that was broadly rejected elsewhere, writes Billie Muraben
TextBillie Muraben
Architecture historian Beatriz Colomina first encountered Playboy magazine's unexpected legacy in modern architecture by accident. She was interviewing several architects in order to book them for lectures at Princeton University where she runs the graduate architectural history programme, when she realised many of them, and their work, had been featured in the notorious sexy mag. Erotica and architecture make for an unusual pairing, but, she soon discovered, the publication had hosted stories on experimental architects including Paolo Soleri, Moshe Safdie and Ant Farm, as well as the founding fathers of Modernism – Mies Van Der Rohe, Charles Eames, Eero Saarinen and Frank Lloyd Wright.
As it turns out, Playboy founder Hugh Hefner had taken his inspiration from the city of Chicago, where modernity played a key part in the city's skyline. The movement had been broadly debunked by the American architectural press as a European coup to destroy their way of life, but Playboy indulged and promoted Modernism as a glamorous and forward-looking way of living. While the majority of publishers remained conservative in their design and architectural tastes, Hefner claimed the liberated aesthetic as an important tool for seduction.
© Playboy Magazine
It was over a 20-year period, from 1953 until the late 1970s, that Playboy presented homes as seduction machines, from the Bubble House of Chrysalis to the House of the Century, and then Yale dean Charles Moore's home. The architects behind them were featured as significant cultural figures, alongside the likes of Vladimir Nabokov, Salvador Dalí and Jean Paul Sartre; and included notes on their zooming sports cars and controversial love lives, too.
But Playboy's role went one step further than handing out cursory advice, or dressing the magazine up in theory. In Colomina's opinion, "the magazine did more for promoting modern architecture and design than any architectural magazine or institution". An early lifestyle publication, Playboy not only defined a new identity for men; what to wear, listen to, drink and read, but also how to engage with design. The features on and of Modernism and radical design conveyed the potential to redesign your surroundings, and respond productively to change. These pieces had a mixed reception, however – historian Sigfried Giedion characterised the movement as "rushing from one sensation to another and rapidly bored", while Reyner Banham promised he'd "run a mile" for the title. Perhaps these gentlemen really did read the magazine for its taste-making articles, rather than just its bawdy bunnies.

Music: Jazzfest 2013: A Muddy Good Time
Jazzfest 2013 will be remembered for great music and food but mostly for some horrendously rainy weather. The New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival celebrated the 44th year of the event with several big name acts, many of the regional bands that have been a part of the tradition and all of the amazing food vendors that make Jazzfest a unique experience. While the music and food lived up to expectations, Mother Nature was clearly pissed at someone because her barrage of wind, rain and cold made the Fairgrounds a seriously stinky, muddy pit. [...]
Concert: Dirty Dozen Brass Band bring the party to The Mint
New Orleans bands know that when they travel through Los Angeles, they have to hit The Mint for the best, most rabid fans. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band show on May 23, 2011 at the Mint brought out lots of New Orleans transplants and lovers of rousing brass band music. The opening act, a local band called Super Duper, contributed a wacky and exciting set that concluded with a pleasantly odd version of "Welcome to the Jungle," with a tease of "The Lion Sleeps Tonight." That warm up prepared the audience for some New Orleans party music. [...]
Concert: Dirty Dozen Brass Band at the Mint
Just one week after the New Orleans Saints' fairy-tale Super Bowl victory, another New Orleans institution landed in Los Angeles. The Dirty Dozen Brass Band came to town to regale displaced New Orleans natives and L. A. fans with their unique blend of jazz, soul, funk, and improvisation. A delayed arrival was cause for concern by the Mint (www.themintla.com/) staff and a throng of restless fans. Their scheduled start time of 10 p.m. came and went as word trickled down through the crowd that their flight from Atlanta hit a snag due to snowy weather in Dallas. Not hitting the stage until 12:35 a.m. meant for a significantly shorter set than anticipated. However, they made up for it by stringing together an energetic set of songs that brought them right to the edge of the 2 a.m. curfew. [...]


What's the Real Cost of Responding to RFPs?
Now that business is down, especially at some of the nation's most profitable firms, many partners and marketing directors are taking a long, hard look at how the firm spends its time and money responding to prospective client requests for proposals, more often known as RFPs. Recently, Altman Weil consultants determined that the cost of responding to RFPs ranged from $35,000 to $65,000 each, or between 100 to 200 partner hours in most firms. This would be acceptable if the success rate of responding to RFPs were high. Unfortunately, however, it's more like 30%. That's right, 70% of responses to RFPs are rejected by the client organization. Worse yet, "winning" typically means being placed on a list of approved counsel with no guarantee of additional work. Most of the wins produce no income whatsoever, let alone personal contact with the firm. One firm contacted for this article said their new "client" wouldn't even return their phone calls.
