RGGiri on Amit Trivedi
Insofar as Bollywood Music Directors are concerned, I remember a time when every alternate album was done by Nadeem Shravan. And then Anu Malik, and then Jatin Lalit. Within a few movies, their sound would become repetitive, and one would wonder if they have exhausted their tricks already. And then A R Rahman happened. The world seemed a better place. He made others innovate and compete for the top dollars. One waited for A R Rahman to create magic over and over again. And he obliged.
And then, Amit Trivedi made a quiet entry with Aamir. Since the world was not ready to acknowledge his brilliance yet, he blasted the doors open with Dev D. And has continued to go strong. Or, at least, that's what it feels like as I started typing this post. Latest – Kai Po Che. So, I decided to look at his list of albums (movies only) and do RG giri. RG Giri is relative grading giri for the uninitiated. Majorly potent if you want to humiliate the studs, by telling them that you're cool, but not cool enough. Or, as a friend pointed out long back – "If I lose because of RG Giri, then I wouldn't have lost at all. That's why I don't feel bad about my grades Macha!"
In 2008, he came on to the scene with Aamir. Excellent movie backed by an excellent track. Ha Raham continues to be one of my favorites till date. Ek Lau, Chakkar Ghumyo, and Phas Gaya were excellent tracks as well.
In 2009, DevD happened. And not much should be debated about the album being one of the finest of the last decade. My favorite – probably, Payaliya. However, in that year itself, the honors were well split between DevD (that won him the National Award) and that solitary song in that movie where the primary music directors were the brilliant Shankar Ehsaan Loy. Pushing all the songs from Wake Up Sid to the background, Iktara became one of the most requested songs on all radio shows.
In 2010 – He gave me Udaan. I consider Udaan to be one of the best OSTs I have heard in Indian cinema. There are few tracks that have done as much justice to the movie as Udaan. It's difficult to pick a favorite from this album. Aazaadiyaan might have done more on the loop, but I am totally in love with the spontainety of Motumaster. Then came Aishaa. I don't think its as good as Udaan, but it's important to understand how Trivedi was able to move away from being predictable. Aisha is a formulaic soundtrack – a punjabi number (Gal Mitthi Mitthi Bol), an acoustic romantic ballad (Shaam bhi koi), a peppy track (Suno Aisha), an excellent latin beat in Behke Behke Nain, and a sad song (Lehrein). Fairly complete album with enough of his own brand stamped on it. Just to round up 2010, there was that one song in Striker too (Bombay Bombay). Decent, but not the best.
In 2011, No One Killed Jessica topped the charts. Intezaar, Dilli, Aali Re, Dua. #Nuffsaid. Then came "I Am". Which had Baangur. He did only three songs in Baangur, but probablyt the most recognizable ones. 2011 also had Chillar Party. I haven't paid much attention. It had that Ranbir Kapoor item song (Tain Tain Phiss) that did well. But as an album, I found it to be just OK. (Mental note- go check it again).
2012 – The tribe is growing now. Ishaqzaade, Ekk Main Aur Ek Tuu, English Vinglish, Aiyaa, Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana. Five remarkably different from each other soundtracks. Aiyyaa didn't work for met at a broader level. But had some good peppy numbers and a reasonable amount of justice done to Laavni and Marathi folk. Aga Bai and Dreamum Wakeuppam became quite big hits. I was supremely impressed by the track of Ishaqzaade. Again, formulaic in a way, but extremely fresh. Had two item numbers (Jhalla Wallah and Chokra Jawan Re), both of them very sticky and very un-gross. The music of Luv Shuv was pleasant punjabi folk. A big departure from the non-Punjabi's perception of Punjabi music being just Bhangra. Let it grow on you. It's beautiful. Tere laiyon haazir biba luv shuv tey chicken khurana. English Vinglish and Ek Main were decent. I won't go crazy praising them, but they were better than average. My favorite track from English Vinglish is Dhaak Dhuk. From Ek Main, its Gubbare. Though both the title tracks are quite catchy as well. Key point. I am not getting tired of his sound yet.
2013 has a lineup. But for now, we have Kai Po Che. Manja already has me hooked. Though I must say that it has the 2009 Amit Trivedi feel to it. Shubharambh is excellent too. I am eagerly waiting for the rest.
So, in terms of the top 10 –
#10 – English Vinglish
#9 – Ek Main Aur Ek Tuu
#8 – Aishaa
#7 – Luv Shuv Tey Chicken Khurana
#6 –I Am
#5 – Ishaqzaade
#4 – No One Killed Jessica
#3 – Aamir
#2 – Dev D
#1 – Udaan
I am sure many of you like Dev D better than Udaan. But what tilts it in Udaan's favor is the quality of poetry in Udaan. And that takes me to a special mention for Amitabh Bhattacharyaa who has fantabulously supported Amit Trivedi with some awesome lyrics. The quality of lyrics has improved with Swanand Kirkire, Amitabh Bhattacharyaa and Piyush Mishra.
I have not included Wake Up Side here (just one song) and Kai Po Che (whole album isn't available yet). The dude has a long way to go from here before his body of work is significant. But then, there is hope that he will deliver.
p.s. Just realized that Amit Trivedi composed for Trishna as well, a movie that sank without a trace. Should try and get hold of the soundtrack.

Music Review: Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi
RabNeBanaDiJodi (*ing Shahrukh Amol Palekar Khan)
This is the latest trend music – glossy YR Films or a lookalike movie (OSO, Bachna Ae Haseeno, Race, Dostana etc.) with about 6-7 songs – one romantic number, one sad song sung by (usually) Shreya Ghoshal or Rahat Fateh Ali Khan, a peppy number by (usually) Sunidhi Chauhan where some dude named Blaze uses words that I dont understand the meaning of,and lastly, if its not getting covered in the above categories, a song by Sukhwinder Singh/ Atif Aslam. One song per singer in the movie is the new paradigm. Remix of 1-2 sings in the main album itself is another (they are just not letting some the remixing DJs survive, I tell you!)
Look back at some of the musical hits that fall in the glossy category this year, and you will know what I mean.
Anyway, how does Rab ne bana di jodi fit on the trend line –
1. Romantic Song – Haule Haule belongs to the combo of Sukhwindar and romantic category. Or, you can add, TUjh mein rab dikhta hai
2. Sad – The shreya ghoshal version of Tujhme rab dikhta hai
3. Fun – Dance pe chance by Sunidhi
4. Remix – Dance pe chance remix
5. Rahat/Atif not in this album. Ably replaced by Sonu Nigam and Roop Kumar Rathod.
Now – what do I think of the music?
If you are ready to forget and forgive Aditya Chopra for setting expectations through DDLJ and Mohabattein, the music is not that bad. But if you are looking for that charm, forget it!! Salim Suleiman, do not even meet their own high standards!
Haule Haule, as can be seen through the new found popularity of the RNBDJ promos, is the pick of the lot. Sukhwindar adds a lot of soul to the sing, the punjabi touches, and a lot of passion. It grows on you. And it is growing on me! Another Sukhi ace!
Tujhme Rab dikhta hai – its a good song, but it does not hit you that hard. Shreya Ghoshal version is better than Roop Kumar Rathod version (probably because its sadder). I am a sucker for sad songs.
Dance Pe Chance – Average joe. Will catch on as the song is promo-ed on air. Thats my forecasting model talking. But not my heart. Shut up and bounce is catchier than this one!
Phir Milenge Chalte Chalte – is a spoof song. With lyrics made up of songs and hindi movie names of yester years. So.. my guess is that again, the picturisation of the song will do the trick. Otherwise, very difficult to hum along, and not that great either.
Overall –
I would give it a 3 on 5 – Average – because the singers do put in a lot of heart behind the songs which are quite average. Recommendation – download/stream and listen. If you like it, buy the CD.
Passing Thought – Do you also think the Sonu Nigam is loosing his touch with singing? I think his voice is flattening out now

Music Review: Miles… From India (Various Artists)
Information about the Album: here
Cross-posted on EpicIndia
The beauty of this album (earlier reviewed by Richard Marcus on EpicIndia) does not lie just in its adherence to Miles' definition of jazz, but in the effortless blending with Indian Classical. And that's why- first things first – It comes highly recommended.
I would not waste a lot breath over talking about the ensemble quality of the artists on the disc. Each of them a true master of music, adding to the mix a certain versatility that probably them themselves forget while adhering to the rules, MFI is unique in the way that several critiques would find it difficult to call it fusion. Many others would find it difficult to call it jazz. And barely a few would even venture to suggest that its Indian Classical Music. The interesting thing to note here is that this union of two musical definitions does not require either of them to be the dominant one.
The idea of the album came about as Bob Belden thought about blending two pure music genres while paying a tribute to Miles Davis, one of the finest exponents of Jazz in the previous century. Lets consider for a moment the origins of jazz itself, the influences of so many countries and so many eras, and the fact that it has survived. The evolution of gospel and ragtime into jazz, and later swing, bebop, etc. being a fascinating story for jazz lovers all the same, this album pays homage to the post-depression era jazz.
Moving to the album, it's a set of 2 discs that I previewed in the MP3 format with due permissions through EpicIndia. Both the discs have 6 compositions uniquely different from each other.
Instead of getting into a track by track review of whats in store for the listeners, it suffices to say that almost all the compositions blend between Indian classical and jazz using a mix of multiple instruments (Sitar, Tabla, Saxophone, Drums, Bass, Electric Guitar, Violin) with each instrument being used not just for the genre where it comes from, but also to do something that its usually not expected to do. Imagine the chaotic harmony of jazz on a sitar and the aaroh-avaroh of Indian classical on electric guitar. That's what this album is all about, as it recreates Milesian magic through his compositions.
Accroding to me, the pick of the lot are Ife, Spanish Key and All Blues from disc 1, and Blue in Green, and Miles from India from Disc 2. This by no way implies anything negative against the other tracks, all of which are wonderful in their own rendition.
While Spanish Key starts in a standard Milesian way with rich use of saxophone and piano, involving tabla, Hindustani vocals to reach its crescendo, In a silent way is a short composition based solely on Sarod.
All Blues starts with the sitar and can be a perfect appetizer for someone who hasn't listened to a lot of jazz before this, but is an avid Hindustani Classical follower, as this composition shows how the language of music can be moulded to accommodate everyone. It's a great composition to learn from, if you are a learner of music, because it does complete justice to the subtleties of sounds from all the instruments used.
In a silent way is a very small jazz rendition on Sarod. Its slow, deliberate and so blended with Indian classical, that for the undiscerning listener, it just comes across as a sweet simple symphony, devoid of borders created by those who love definitions.
Ife (both fast and slow) was recorded in two versions keeping in mind that only one of the versions will be incorporated in the final CD. However, once you hear the discs, you realize why the team was not able to let go of any of the two versions. My personal choice would be the faster version given the heady mix it creates.
Jean Pierre is a composition that starts off with a haunting flute arrangement, but soon evolves into a melody that may get copied by a bollywood music director quite soon.
So-what breaks the trend, and starts in a Carnatic music style and blends itself into jazz. It uses the blend o f organ with Ghatam.
Miles runs the voodoo down cannot be categorized in any way. It's a sound that's closer to the ragtime era, but such was the genius of Miles. However, this song is the only one in the entire collection, where at times the blending does seem a little off.
Blues in Green has a great use of backing vocals from Shankar Mahadevan. I might sound a little biased with this, but in this album, the use of vocals enriches the sound of the same music to my ears.. The composition keeps at the molten level, flowing with the moment. An additional reinforcement in this song comes through the use of Sarangi by Pt. Ram Narayan.
Great Expectations is a vintage jazz composition which uses both traditional and Indian instruments to create the required effect. Watch out for the slowed tempo and melody towards the middle section of the song which further accentuates the beauty of this composition.
Finally, Miles from India, starts off as a piano based harmony using backing vocals rich in Hindustani, and is another slow and deliberate composition from the composer Bob Belden. A very Indian way of ending a musical concert, where the raags are gradually built over a period of time through subtle variations, and as the music reaches its crescendo, it's the point where the musician is connected to the good. Finally, to conclude the concert, the musician detaches himself/herself from the divinity yet pleasing the gods through a simple and modest harmony, to come back to the lower world.
One of the biggest things about this compilation is that despite the use of multiple instruments and platforms, and this being an arrangement of performances across several recordings, which were finally molded together in a composition, there is not a point where you can feel that an instrument or a genre is trying to dominate another. This is MUSIC – a perfectly harmonious ensemble of sounds that lets you isolate yourself from the surrounding. From my side, it gets a thumbs-up with strong recommendations.

Movie Review: Khoya Khoya Chand
December 9, 2007 6 Comments
I watched Khoya Khoya Chand on Friday. Its a different matter that I am writing the review now.
To me, its a brilliant movie that would fail to make its mark. Reasons – to be honest, I dont want to dissect the this and that of the movie and kill a dream in the process. I see KKC as Sudhir Mishra's tribute to his time in the Hindi Film Industry (pardon me for not referring to it as Bollywood yet). And I can tell you what I liked about the movie. Its brilliant in its canvas, cinematography, characterization. The music is quite awesome.the thought behind the movie is quite profound. The imagination vivid. The use of cinema within cinema is a novel way of showing the reality that cinema is supposed to present. And for that, I would like to give full marks to Mishra.
The place where the movie fails is its editing. Its too slow and too disjoint at times. Everything makes sense, everything fits, and yet, you are fidgety in your seat at times. At times you wonder, for how long has this thing being going on? And then, the twist happens. The twist in the personality, emotions bring you back to whats happening on the screen. Its a wait and bait game that the movie plays with you. If you fish for fun, waiting can be too boring. If its your bread and butter, you know that for a bigger catch, you may have to wait longer. The movie will not appeal to people who prefer spending 150 bucks on an Om Shanti Om, where every minute of the movie is supposed to be explicit, entertaining, and exciting. The movie will appeal to theatre enthusiasts who like the use of sets, dialogues, imagery, limited words, multiple interpretations, the play between characters, the way the story buildds for 10 minutes to give you an ephemeral kick. None of the characters is a "hero". None of them is a villain either. They are all playing their part in the gray zone. The shot where Zafar (Shiney) is mad at Nikhat (Soha) for not having tried her best in getting his way with a producer is an exquisite display of the real side of people. We all lose it at times, say things that we dont mean in general, but we do mean them in the spur of the moment. The shot where Prem Kumar (Rajat Kapoor) asks Zafar and Shyamul (Vinay Pathak) "sirf main hi itna haraamzaada hoon? ya sab aise hote hain?" is again a reality check. In another shot, zafar asks Nikhat – "hum to yahin hain. aap kahan hain? aap kahan they?' and in another zafar tells shyamul – ise chod ke jeena bhi to mumkin nahi hai! The movie is a gem. Its a gem that some people will appreaciate on DVDs. But its bound to bomb at the box office. It may get an award somewhere, but most likely, it wont get any financial rewards. I live with a hope to be proven wrong on this.
Shiney, Soha, Rajat, Sonya, Vinay, et al shine. And you can see the effort. At times, shiney does go slightly overboard, but only slightly. Soha is a find. There are shots where she looks exquisitely beautiful, and there are shots where she looks like an ordinary girl. Isnt that what cinema is? A make believe world.
And thats why you should see it. Its abotu all the things that make Cinema what it is. Glamorous, yet painful! Inviting, yet indifferent!!

Movie Review: Aaja Nachle…. Madhuri is back!
I have to write this post. Came back home a little while back after having watched Aaja Nachle. And have a flight to catch in an hour or so. So, best use of this one hour would have been to sleep. But then, I claim to be different!
Aaja Nachle re-establishes one of my firmest beliefs about Bollywood – Madhuri Dixit can beat the shit out of all current actresses with both her hands tied behind her back. She just rules the screen from the first shot. Its a Madhuri movie all along with good support from the other well cast actors. I think its a true entertainer of a movie.
A few of the high points of the movie –
1. Choreography – Boo to all those who tried to blast the choreography/music/dances of the movie. This is the best choreography I've seen after Devdas. Examples in context – 1. the choregraphy of O Re Pia sung by Rahat. First, its a beautiful song sung amazingly well by Rahat (thats hardly a surprise). Second, the song has beautifully used Ghunghroos in the background. The dancers seem to match the ghungroo ki jhanak perfectly. Madhuri has flawless movements and expressions in the song. The choreography has a classical base, which makes it a delight. Need more reasons? 2. Choreo of the title song – again, a phenomenal use of a talent like Madhuri. 3. Choreo of the long "nritya natika" towards the climax. I think that particular sequence just revives everything that a nritya natika (or, as the refined people would like to think about it – a broadway musical) should be. perfect use of props, individual positions, stage movements, and dance forms. I think the nritya natika on Laila Majnu is the high point of a movie which is all about dance.
2. Performances – Madhuri, undoubtedly, is the queen! But then, there are some refreshing performances by Vinay Pathak, Akshaye Khanna, Ranvir Shorey, Raghuvir Yadav, Yashpal Sharma, Konkona Sen, Kunal Kapoor, Irfan Khan et al. I think the beauty of this movie with a fairly average storyline lies in the characterization as well. The weakest characters in the fold are those of Konkona and Kunal, even though I think they have sleepwalked through their roles with consummate ease.
3. Music – Whatever people say, I think O Re Pia, Ishq Hua, Aaja Nachle, Show me your Jalwa.. all these songs will catch on very soon. Some have already, and some will now!
The enlightened will tell you that the story is weak, and there is an overdose of fantasy. Where does this dilapidated set get all the money and resources to set up such extravagant dances. I dont know. I dont care. The movie entertains. And the elite can go take a skywalk for all I care!
And yeah, just in case I havent given you enough reasons to watch the movie … My final.. nail in the coffin.. last straw to break the camel's back… aakhiri hichki.. etc etc. argument is ….
GO WATCH IT FOR MADHURI!
Bollywood Gossip – Peeping Tom saw a certain Sonam Kapoor and a certain Ranbir Kapoor at Taj Lands End last night (Dec 3rd) having a noodly and dimsumy hot dinner at Ming Yang. Both were smoking. Since it was Tom Peeping, Sonam was looking extremely ravishing in a black tank top with her mid-riff well exposed with navel piercings and all. Tom wonders – is something brewing? er.. coffee?
Comment of the night – "Having seen her like this, I don't think Bhansali was able to exploit Sonam completely during Saawariya!"

Roundup…. No Title
Haven't been blogging for a while, as the seasonal lethargy takes over. I can't really blame it on anything else. Anyway, just a roundup of things/people/songs of note –
1. Television – I am in love with the 2 singing competitions on telly these days, Zee Saregamapa 2007 Challenge – Sangeet ka Pratham Vishwayud and Amul Star Voice of India. SVOI is going through a dramatic phase with Gajendra Chauhan ( the pioneer of such singing talent hunt shows) getting confused with his self created frankenstein. However, the singers to watch out for are Toshi Sabri (brought back into SVOI by popular demand, after being ejected on the basis of public voting), Harshit (SVOI), Amaanat Ali (SRGMP, an amazing voice from Pakistan) and Raja Hassan(SRGMP). Raja has the rusticness and purity in his voice, Toshi is probably the best trained and a sufi-genre singer. Harshit will make an awesome playback singer while Amanat probably is the most versatile of the lot, and will surely make a great ghazal singer if given a chance. His rendition of "Tujhse Naaraz Nahi Zindagi" yesterday (6th Oct) was plain simple awesome. The idea behind this long para on these people is to remind you guys that for every Dhoni who came out of Jharkhand, there are several who join Tata Steel on a small stipend! Please support, encourage and look out for these raw talents in the years to come. You can see the videos online here – SRGMP, SVOI
2. Music – 1. Main Agar Kahoon (Om Shanti Om) – beautiful romantic song with a very simple melody and another proof of how good Sonu Nigam is. Especially, when it comes to romantic songs, there are few who are as good. His voice has a certain yearning that others don't
b. Yoon Shabnami from Saawariya sung by Parthiv Gohil. A lot of you won't even know who Parthiv Gohil is. Parthiv is the lost find of 1998 Saregama MegaFinal (youtube videos) (the year Sonu was still hosting the show, Sanjeevani – another finalist, got a few movies as playback singers (such as Kareeb), and there were some truly amazing singers like Mohd. Vakil, Bela, Mukund and Sudeshna). An year or two after 1998 Shreya Ghoshal became the winner of Saregama. Anyway, Paarthiv had a very strong classical learning background and his rendition of songs like Ketak Gulab Juhi, and Dhanyabhaag Seva ka Awsar Paaya back in 1998 were wonderful. So, Bhansali has given Parthiv a break, along with Monty (the music director, who played some part in the background score of Devdas)
c. Songs from Manorama – 6 feet under. From a collection of 4 songs (excluding remixes and versions), 3 belong to the category of very good to excellent. Woh Bheege Pal, Dhundhla jo sama bandha, Tere Sawalon Ke.. Try them out.
3. Movie – Johnny Gaddar is definitely my pick from bollywood. Bourne Ultimatum would be the hollywood pick. Johnny G is a wonderful movie which takes you back to the 70s thrillers where things just kept happening all through the movie. Director's tribute to Vijay Anand and James Hadley Chase is visible throughout the movie. The movie could have been shortened by 15 minutes or so. But, but… its a wonderful movie to see on a weekend.
4. Books – Reading "Of Love and Other Demons" by Gabriel Garcia Marquez right now. Seems good so far, while being standard Marquez narration. Will update later.
However, just in case you got a feeling that this is what is keeping me busy.. Naah! How many of you out there have lived out of a suitcase to get a house renovated. Working your butt off five days a week to reach home on a weekend (travelling usually in the middle of night both ways) to deal with tiles, cement, paints, designs and woodwork! Ugh.. its not easy!
Btw.. quick emotional outburst – Raikonnen has taken the pole. Hamilton has to wait. Vettel seems a driver to keep an eye on. The last couple of races are going to be amazingly interesting! 😀

Music Review: Kailasa – Jhoomo Re
I have been listening to the latest Kailasa (Kailash Kher's band) album, Jhoomo Re since morning. And a vote of appreciation is due. (Though I often reprimand myself for refering to Kailasa as Kailash Kher's band. Its a group of extremely talented artists – Kailash Kher, Naresh Kamath, Paresh Kamath, Kurt Peters, Sanket Athale, Rinku Rajput, Sameer Chiplunkar, Debyajyoti Dutta (Jonqui), Sankarshan Kini and Tejasvi Rao)
In their new album, Kailasa continue from where they left "Teri Deewani", their previous hit album. "Teri Deewani", the title song of their previous album, continues to be one of the finest use of Sufi undertones amongst commercial albums of recent times. Jhoomo Re builds further and establishes the bands credentials further. Kailasa is definitely a band to watch out for.
From "Jhoomo Re", TV channels are already airing videos of two of the songs – Ba Bam Bam, and Saiyaan.
Ba Bam Bam has a rustic feel to it and will probably be appreciated more by people who understand Lord Shiva worshipping better. I don't know the technical word for it, but those who have heard devout Lord Shiva worshippers will understand the sound as well as the rendition of this song. It's a song full of energy and mindless devotion. That said, I don't expect the song to become a popular hit, much against its originality and feel.
The next song- Saiyaan, is in the same league as Teri Deewani and Dilruba. High notes, soulful, and extremely powerful, Saiyaan is a must hear for all you sufi music lovers out there.
"Hire Moti Main Na chahoon,
Main to chahoon sangam tera
Main to teri .. saiyaan
Tu hai mera
Tu jo choo le pyaar se
Araam se mar jaoon main
Aaja chanda bahon mein
Tujh mein hi gum ho jaoon main
Tere naam mein kho jaoon main…"
(from Saiyaan). Interpret it in as many ways as you like!
The other songs that I would definitely recommend are Chaap Tilak (Khusro's classic work), Daulat Shohrat (with a liberal touch of Sufism), and Tere Naina (beautiful lullaby). Beyond these three, there is 'Tu hi mera Jaan hai' (rendered in Punjabi folk tone) and Joban Chalke (sung with a Rajasthani feel). The amount of amalgamation (of spiritual and regional flavors) in this album is just too good to resist.
Things to reach out for when you are hearing this album –
1.	Multiple interpretations, just as you would when you read vintage Sufi poetry
2.	The music arrangement – its an excellent mix of modern and traditional instruments. Also, watch out for the use of natural sounds.
3.	Kailash Kher's voice – to me, his voice stands for humility and purity.
4.	Effective use of backing vocals to accentuate emotions.
Let me know what you guys think after hearing the album.

Q: The strength of "There are no $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets" For $\Gamma$ a set of second-order sentences in the empty language, say that a set $X$ is $\Gamma$-pseudofinite if $X$ is infinite but for every sentence $\varphi\in\Gamma$ which is satisfied in every finite pure set we have $X\models\varphi$. For example, $\mathsf{ZF}$ proves that the sentence "I can be linearly ordered, and every linear ordering of me is discrete" is true of exactly the finite sets, and so $\Sigma^1_1\wedge\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets do not exist; in the other direction, $\mathsf{ZF}$ proves that $\omega$ is $\Sigma^1_1$-pseudofinite.
The interesting case is $\Pi^1_1$. While $\mathsf{ZFC}$ proves that there are no $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets (consider "Every linear ordering of me is discrete"), James Hanson showed in $\mathsf{ZF}$ that amorphous sets are $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite. My question is whether amorphousness is more-or-less the only way we get $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets:

Over $\mathsf{ZF}$, does "There are no amorphous sets" imply "There are no $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets?"

Note that this is a bit weaker than asking whether every $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite set is amorphous. FWIW I think the answer to that question is negative (I suspect e.g. that the union of two $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite sets is $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite).

A: My "hunch" in the comments to the question appears to be correct! This model comes from Howard, Paul E.; Yorke, Mary F., Definitions of finite, Fundam. Math. 133, No. 3, 169-177 (1989). ZBL0704.03033. The paper has a few confusing typos and, in particular, the proof of Theorem~15 appears insufficient, so I'm sketching the argument in some detail, with another proof of that theorem.

$\newcommand{\supp}{\operatorname{supp}\nolimits}
\newcommand{\fix}{\operatorname{fix}\nolimits}$Fix a ground model $\mathfrak{M}$ of ZFA+AC where the set $U$ of atoms is countably infinite and fix a dense linear ordering ${<}$ of $U$ without endpoints.
Let $\mathcal{P}$ be the lattice of finite interval partitions of $U$, i.e., patitions of $U$ into finitely many blocks where each block is an interval of any shape.
This is a lattice under refinement $P \leq Q$ iff every block of $P$ is contained in a block of $Q$.
The meet $P \sqcap Q$ consists of all nonempty intersections of a block from $P$ and a block from $Q$.
The join $P \sqcup Q$ is more complicated: the blocks of $P \sqcup Q$ are maximal unions of the form $B_1\cup B_2 \cup \cdots \cup B_k$ where $B_1,B_2,\ldots,B_k \in P \cup Q$ and $B_1 \cap B_2, B_2 \cap B_3, \ldots, B_{k-1} \cap B_k$ are all nonempty.
Given an interval partition $P$, we write ${\sim_P}$ for the associated equivalence relation: $x \sim_P y$ iff $x$ and $y$ belong to the same block of $P$.
Let $G$ be the group of permutations $\pi$ of $U$ with finite support $\supp\pi = \{ x \in U : \pi(x) \neq x \}$.
Given an interval partition $P$ of $U$, let $$G_P = \{ \pi \in G : (\forall B \in P)(\pi(B) = B) \}.$$
Note the following facts:

*

*$G_{P \sqcap Q} = G_P \cap G_Q$.

*If $\{x\}$ is a block of $P$ for each $x \in \supp\pi$ then $\pi G_P\pi^{-1} = G_P$.

*$G_{P \sqcup Q}$ is the subgroup generated by $G_P \cup G_Q$.

It follows that these subgroups generate a normal filter $\mathcal{F}$ of subgroups of $G$.
Let $\mathfrak{N}$ be the symmetric submodel associated to $\mathcal{F}$:
$$\mathfrak{N} = \{ X \in \mathfrak{M} : \fix(X) \in \mathcal{F} \land X \subseteq \mathfrak{N} \}.$$
Note that by 3, for every $X \in \mathfrak{N}$ there is a coarsest interval partition $\supp(X)$ such that $G_P \subseteq \fix(X)$, namely $$\supp(X) = \bigsqcup \{ P : G_P \subseteq \operatorname{fix}(X) \}.$$
Lemma. For any set $X$ in $\mathfrak{N}$, if $\pi \in \fix(X)$ then for every $x_0 \in U$, $\pi(x_0)$ is not in a block of $\supp(X)$ which is adjacent to that of $x_0$.
Proof. Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that $A,B$ are adjacent blocks of $\supp(X)$ and $x_0 \in A$, $\pi(x_0) \in B$ for some $x_0$.
We will show that for any $a \in A$ and $b \in B$ the transposition $(a,b)$ fixes $X$. Note that at least one of $A$ or $B$ must be infinite. Let's assume that $B$ is infinite, the other case is symmetric.

*

*Suppose $a = x_0$ and $b \notin \supp\pi$.
Then $(a,b) = (x_0,b) = \pi^{-1}(\pi(x_0),b)\pi$.

*Suppose $a = x_0$ and $b \in \supp\pi$.
Then pick $b' \in B \setminus \supp\pi$ and note that $(a,b) = (a,b')(b,b')(a,b')$.

*Suppose $a \neq x_0$.
Then $(a,b) = (a,x_0)(x_0,b)(a,x_0)$
It follows that any permutation of $A \cup B$ fixes $X$, which contradicts the fact that $\supp(X)$ is the coarsest partition such that $G_{\supp(X)} \subseteq \fix(X)$.
Claim 1 (Howard & Yorke, Theorem 15). $\mathfrak{N}$ contains no amorphous sets.
Proof. Suppose $X \in \mathfrak{N}$ is infinite. If $G_{\supp(X)}$ fixes $X$ pointwise, then $X$ is wellorderable and therefore not amorphous.
Pick $x_0 \in X$ such that $P_0 = \supp(x_0)\sqcap\supp(X)$ properly refines $\supp(X)$.
Let $A,B$ be two adjacent blocks of $P_0$ which belong to the same block of $\supp(X)$.
Suppose $A$ has a right endpoint $a$; the case where $B$ has a left endpoint is symmetric.
Let $P_1$ be obtained from $P_0$ by replacing $A$ with $A\setminus\{a\}$ and $B$ with $B\cup\{a\}$.
Note that for $\phi,\psi \in G_{P_1}$, $\phi(x_0) = \psi(x_0) \iff \phi(a) = \psi(a)$.
Fix $b \in B$ such that $B\cap(-\infty,b)$ and $B\cap[b,+\infty)$ are both infinite.
Let
$$X_0 = \{ \pi(x_0) : \pi \in G_{P_1}, \pi(a) < b \}$$
and
$$X_1 = \{ \pi(x_0) : \pi \in G_{P_1}, \pi(a) \geq b \}.$$
These are two disjoint infinite subsets of $X$.
Moreover, $X_1, X_2 \in \mathfrak{N}$ since they are both fixed by $G_Q$ where $Q$ is a refinement of $P_0, P_1$, and $\{(-\infty,b),[b,+\infty)\}$.
Therefore $X$ is not amorphous.
Claim 2. $U$ is $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite in $\mathfrak{N}$.
Sketch.
Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that $$(\forall Y \subseteq X^n, Z \subseteq X^m,\ldots )\phi(X,Y,Z,\ldots)$$ is a $\Pi^1_1$ statement which is true of every finite set $X$ but false for $X = U$.
Let $Y \subseteq U^n, Z \subseteq U^m,\ldots$ be sets in $\mathfrak{N}$ such that $\lnot\phi(U,Y,Z,\ldots)$.
Let $P = \supp(Y)\sqcap\supp(Z)\sqcap\cdots$
Note that there are only finitely many possibilities for $Y, Z, \ldots$
For example, when $n=1$ then $Y$ must be a union of some of the intervals from $P$.
When $n=2$, $Y$ must be a boolean combination of cartesian products of two intervals from $P$ and the diagonal set $\{(x,x) : x \in U\}$. And so on...
By an EF-style argument, if $V \subseteq U$ is a finite set such that that contains all the endpoints of intervals from $P$ each of the sets $P \cap B$ is sufficiently large when $B$ is an infinite interval from $P$, then $\phi(U,Y,Z,\ldots)$ is equivalent to $\phi(V, Y \cap V^n, Z \cap V^m,\ldots)$. It follows that $\lnot\phi(V, Y \cap V^n, Z \cap V^m, \ldots)$ for some finite set $V \subseteq U$, but this contradicts the assumption.

Since the ultimate goal is to obtain a more concrete understanding of what $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite means, I will propose an alternate conjecture.
Recall Tarski's notion of II-finite: every chain of subsets of $X$ has a maximal element. This is equivalent to the $\Pi^1_1$ statement: every total preordering of $X$ has a maximal element. So every $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite set is II-finite. It seems that the converse might be true but I will only propose the following:
Conjecture. There is no infinite $\Pi^1_1$-pseudofinite set if and only if there is no infinite II-finite set.

Nutritional strategies for athletic success by Sarah Linville
All athletes know that feeling; it's only two hours into the race but the legs are starting to feel heavy, motivation is waning, and the idea of paying to run, bike, or swim for this long suddenly seems ridiculous. That feeling is "bonking," hitting a wall or running out of steam, and it's an indicator that the fuel tank is running on empty.
"If you leave the house buck naked, your main source of fuel (glycogen, which is easily metabolized) will last for 90 to 120 minutes at high intensity," explained Dr. Terry O'Connor, an E.R. physician at St. Luke's Wood River Medical Center and an ultra-runner and endurance athlete. "If you starve your body past this point, it starts breaking down your own muscle for fuel, essentially cannibalizing yourself."
At this point, what athletes reach for is entirely personal, and nearly every athlete has a different approach. Eating—even strategic eating—is highly individualized. For Rebecca Rusch, a professional adventure athlete with a lengthy and impressive list of achievements, not the least of which includes being a seven-time world champion in multiple sports, her nutritional strategy has evolved over the span of her 30-year athletic career.
"I've gone from knowing nothing. I was doing long distance races and eating anything," Rusch recalled. "Anything I craved, like Cheetos and Swedish Fish. I just figured I needed to get food in."
Now, her complete equation for fueling during performance includes a mix of carbohydrates, electrolytes, hydration, and amino acids in the form of foods that are easily digestible. Rusch personally goes for more manufactured packaged foods like GU. And what she eats is just as important as when she eats it.
"A barrier is that people assume that fuel is going to dictate their success," said O'Connor. "For races, especially endurance, if you are relying on a nutrition plan for success and then during the race you get emotional or egotistical, you can mess up your nutrition plan."
In other words, a nutrition plan must match behavior. No speeding up unnecessarily to catch the chubby guy ahead.
For sports and races that don't last more than two hours, fueling during the event is unnecessary. What is important, as with all athletic disciplines, is what is consumed before and especially after training or races.
"We often think progress is about training and how much we do," said Rick Kapala, who has been the cross-country ski head coach and Program Director for the Sun Valley Ski Education Foundation since 1987 and has worked individually with hundreds of athletes. "The recovery process is equally as important. If you don't recover your muscles properly, it doesn't matter how much you train."
After a workout, there is a 15- to 30-minute window when the body is most receptive to replacing what has been broken down. A good recovery food has a carbohydrate-to-protein ratio of 3 to 1; for example, banana with peanut butter would be a good choice.
"Most people won't eat until an hour after training," explained Kapala. "More serious athletes are better organized and can manage the timing of their food consumption. But what they eat is where individual preference comes in. There's no hard and fast way to
There are simple scientific formulas to match fuel to training depending on weight of the athlete and intensity of the exercise. Many professional and serious recreational athletes use those equations, but there is no substitute for the value of experimentation and experience. There is no optimal diet, and there is no silver bullet.
"Everybody wants to feel at their best, professional athlete or not," offered Rusch. "Nutrition is the easiest thing to do and the hardest to master. But the myth is that it's complicated—it's not."
General Nutritional Strategy for Race Day
Hydrate and top off protein and carbohydrate levels. (Example: peanut-butter with banana and an egg)
(Assuming the activity is high intensity and lasting for more than an hour and a half), hydrate and consider foods that provide carbohydrates, amino acids and/or fast sugars and caffeine. These foods should be easily digestible and portable. (Example: energy gels, Shot Bloks or gummy bears, fruit, watered-down Gatorade.)
Hydrate again and don't forget to take advantage of the short recovery window (15 to 30 minutes) to rebuild muscle for the next workout. A good recovery food has a carbohydrate-to-protein ratio of 3 to 1. (Example: fruit smoothie, with dairy or dairy substitute and a protein powder, whatever looks good. Anything is better than nothing.)
Then, have a beer.

November 2,2008: On October 26th, four American helicopters crossed from Iraq into Syria. Two of the helicopters landed near the village of Sukariyya, and Special Forces troops engaged in a brief gun battle with members of the Abu Ghadiyahas network, who had been using the village as part of the smuggling network that brought money, weapons and suicide bombers into Iraq. Eight people died, two were taken captive, and the American soldiers left unharmed.
The timing of the strike is somewhat curious. President Assad of Syria had been moving to close off the border for terrorists, and was making other overtures, though slowly, probably trying to figure out how to stay in power regardless of who wins what. A strike like this, with high potential fallout should have been vetted at the highest level. Was the guy the Special Forces were going after worth it? The fallout is serious, with most Arab states in the neighborhood, including Iraq, criticizing it. Iran was particularly angry, and upset. That's probably because Iran has also supported terrorists based in its territory, and allowing them to move men, money and weapons across the border. Shia radical leader Muqtada al Sadr is hiding out in Iran, where his followers are trained to be better terrorists, then sent back to Iraq.
U.S. officials offered international law as justification for this "invasion" of Syria. It goes like this. The United Nations Charter allows nations to defend themselves when under attack, and allows operations inside a foreign nation that cannot, or will not, stop attacks on a foreign country from within its borders. This clause was included to cover a common situation, where one nation will tolerate rebels from another taking refuge inside its borders. This is usually rebels or bandits who use that bases to conduct raids and banditry inside the neighboring nation. Often, the sanctuary nation is unable to clean out the hostile gunmen, or unwilling to do so because they support the goals of the gunmen, or simply want to weaken their neighbor by making it easier for the rebels or bandits to operate.
Afghanistan and Iraq would appear to meet these criteria. Afghan and Iraqi officials have long complained about terrorists crossing over from neighboring countries (Pakistan, Iraq and Iran), often with the assistance of border guards. Pakistan had something of an excuse, as they have never been able to control the tribes along the border, and have special laws that grant some autonomy to the border tribes, as long as they control cross-border raids. Pakistan has obviously not been controlling the Taliban and al Qaeda terrorists, so the U.S., as an ally of the Afghans, has been crossing the border, in compliance with the UN Charter, to strike at the hostile forces. This has been going on for nearly a year. Now the practice has spread to Syria, and the Iranians fear they are next.
It's this legal angle that has prevents any of the invaded countries from taking the U.S. before an international court. Syria, Pakistan and Iran know that there is a preponderance of evidence proving that terrorists are camping out in their territory, and operating across the border.
Even so, the reaction from the Syrians has been rather muted, almost pro forma – they could easily be a lot more vehement about it, let the "rioters" do lots of damage to US property, recall their ambassador, and so on. Could it be that they're not terribly unhappy the raid took place? Assad and his henchmen certainly must realize that al Qaeda ultimately is a threat to their own power, given that Syria is run by secular Shia nationalist socialists (the Baath party). Al Qaeda in Syria only holds back from attacking the government because Assad has been turning a blind eye to operations by Abu Ghadiyahas and his gang. As al Qaeda loses in Iraq, and as Iraq becomes increasingly able to handle its own security, the Abu Ghadiyahas net in Syria could pose a threat in several ways – turning against Assad directly would be the most serious, but also if they take actions that could involve risk to Syrian interests, such as trying to stir the pot in Iraq or Lebanon, or organize strikes against Israel. Going deeper, could the Americans have been tipped off by Assad to the presence of Abu Ghadiyahas with a wink and a nod, possibly through the Israelis, with whom Assad seems to be developing a covert relationship?

Wageningen Marine Research has a large database in which shellfish data are stored (the CSO database). This current database has almost reached its maximum storage capacity. In order to guarantee data preservation and availability the data needs to be stored in another type of database. At Wageningen Marine Research there is already another database available that meets these criteria: FRISBE. Incorporating the shellfish data into this existing database is the logical step forward. Although both databases contain similar types of survey data, several steps are needed before the shellfish data can be successfully migrated to FRISBE, ensuring all relevant data is indeed stored and accessible. The first of these is to adapt database tables and import procedures in such a way that they become usable for the shellfish data. The next step is to try and import a test-dataset into the FRISBE database structure. this will be done in a test environment where it is possible to check whether everything that needs to be imported can be imported. Once this has been tested, the next step (starting 2018) will be to migrate all CSO datasets to FRISBE.

Q: Induction and Coinduction are isomorphic when $[G:H] < \infty$ If $[G:H]<\infty $ then $Ind_H^G M \cong Coind_H^G M$.
There is an $H$-map $\phi_0 : M \rightarrow Hom_H(\mathbb{Z}[G],M)$ given by
$ \phi_0(m)(g) =  gm $ if $g\in H  ,0   g\notin H$.
Now this will extend to a $G$-map $\phi: \mathbb{Z}[G] \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}[H]} M \rightarrow Hom_{\mathbb{Z}}(\mathbb{Z}[G],M)$, and we will have that $\phi^{-1}(f)=\sum_{g \in G/H}g\otimes  f(g^{-1})$.
Im am trying to see that these maps are actually inverse one another but I am failing so when help is welcomed.
Another thing is that when we define the inverse the sum is running trough the equivalence classes how do we know that this is independent on the choice of representative, is it because $f$ is an $H$-homomorphism so we will have on side of the tensor product $H$ and on the other $H^{-1}$ and they will cancel out?

A: First, of all the map $$\phi : \mathbb{Z}[G] \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}[H]} M \to \text{Hom}_H(\mathbb{Z}[G], M)$$
induced by $\phi_0$ is given by
$$ \phi(g \otimes m)(g')  = (g \phi_0(m))(g') = \phi_0(m)(g' g)$$
for $g,g' \in G$ and $m \in M$
Let us denote the hopefully inverse map by
$$ \psi : \text{Hom}_H(\mathbb{Z}[G], M) \to  \mathbb{Z}[G] \otimes_{\mathbb{Z}[H]} M, f \mapsto \sum_{g \in G/H} g \otimes f(g^{-1}).$$
As you rightfully noted, you first have to check that this is actually well-defined, that is, independent of the choice of coset representatives.
Indeed for any $g \in G$ and any $h \in H$ we have
$$(gh) \otimes f((gh)^{-1}) = g h \otimes h^{-1} f(g^{-1}) = g \otimes f(g^{-1})$$
since $f$ is an $\mathbb{Z}[H]$-module homomorphism and because we are taking the tensor product over $\mathbb{Z}[H]$.
So we can take any transversal $T \subseteq G$ of$G/H$ and obtain $\psi(f) = \sum_{g \in T} g \otimes f(g^{-1})$.
Now we have to calculate the compositions $\psi \circ \phi$ and $\phi \circ \psi$.
We have
$$ (\psi \circ \phi)(g \otimes m) = \sum_{t \in T} t \otimes \phi_0(m)(t^{-1}g) $$
Note that $\phi_0(m)(t^{-1}g) = 0$ unless $g = t h$ for some $h \in H$. Since cosets are disjoint, it follows that only one summand is nonzero and with $g =  th$ we get
$$ (\psi \circ \phi)(g \otimes m) = t \otimes \phi_0(m)(t^{-1}g)
                                  = t \otimes h m = th \otimes m = g \otimes m $$
Conversely,
$$ (\phi \circ \psi)(f)(g) = \sum_{t \in T} \phi(t \otimes f(t^{-1}))(g) = \sum_{t \in T} \phi_0(f(t^{-1}))(gt) $$
and again all summands vanish except for the one with $gt \in H$ (or $g^{-1} \in tH$). With $gt = h$ for some $h \in H$ we then obtain
$$ (\phi \circ \psi)(f)(g) = \phi_0(f(t^{-1}))(h) = h f(t^{-1}) = f(ht^{-1}) = f(g)$$
and thus both compositions yield the respective identity morphisms.

Prosthetic Disc Nucleus Market: Introduction
According to the report, the global prosthetic disc nucleus market was valued at ~US$ 92 Mn in 2019. It is projected to expand at a moderate CAGR during the forecast period. Prosthetic disc nucleus is hydrogel-based spinal implant used as an adjunct treatment for patients with degenerative disc disorder and herniation, where surgical intervention is the only option. Prosthetic disc nucleus offers an alternative, cost-effective, and minimally invasive procedure to total disc replacement. In 1996, C.D. Ray introduced the first PDN device, which was the first nucleus replacement device designed to replace the functions of the disc that were lost through degeneration. The global prosthetic disc nucleus market is driven by rise in prevalence of spine disorders across globe, increase in global geriatric population, and high demand for minimally invasive surgeries across the globe.
North America dominated the global prosthetic disc nucleus market in 2019, followed by Europe, and the trend is anticipated to continue during the forecast period. The region's dominance can be ascribed to the high prevalence and rise in incidence rates of degenerative disc disorder, well-established healthcare industry, and increase in geriatric population in the region.
High Prevalence and Rising Incidence of Spine Disorders to Drive Global Market
The increase in incidence of spinal disorders, such as degenerative disc diseases and spinal stenosis, has fueled the usage of spine implants. An estimated 266 million people are affected with lumbar degenerative spine disorder and low back pain each year. According to Hebrew SeniorLife Institute for Aging Research, around one-third of people aged between 40 and 59 are affected with moderate to severe degenerative disc disorder and around half of the population is affected with moderate to severe osteoarthritis. The prevalence of disc height narrowing and joint osteoarthritis increased by 2 to 4 times in people aged between 60 and 69 years and 70 and 89 years, respectively. Disorders of the spine are an important health and social issue, as these are major contributors to disability globally. Respondents often report a spine disorder as lower back pain, irrespective of the actual diagnosis or cause of the condition. Thus, high prevalence and rise in incidence rate of spine disorder across the globe is a prominent factor projected to boost the prosthetic disc nucleus market during the forecast period.
Prosthetic Disc Nucleus Market: Prominent Regions
In terms of region, the global prosthetic disc nucleus market has been segmented into North America, Europe, Asia Pacific, Latin America, and Middle East & Africa. North America dominated the global prosthetic disc nucleus market in 2019, followed by Europe. The U.S. dominated the prosthetic disc nucleus market in North America in 2019, due to the presence of key players, technological advancements, adoption of minimally invasive surgeries, and adequate reimbursement policies. This, in turn, is estimated to boost the market in the region. The prosthetic disc nucleus market in Asia Pacific is likely to expand at a notable CAGR from 2020 to 2030. The expansion of the market in the region can be attributed to the adoption of new technologies, high awareness, significant healthcare spending, early availability of advanced technologies, and penetration of research activities across the region.
