In 2017, the trio of brothers who make up pop-rock trio HANSON celebrated 25 years of playing music together, selling millions of albums and reaching fans from Tulsa to Tokyo. To celebrate this landmark year, HANSON launched the "Middle Of Everywhere 25th Anniversary World Tour," alongside a new greatest hits collection of the same name, which included single "I Was Born," infusing a piece of the future into the year's reflective projects. The year concluded with a special Christmas album release and tour for the group's Finally It's Christmas album, which was among the most successful Christmas releases of 2017. The projects were some of HANSON's most successful of their career, with sold-out concerts in Europe, North America, Latin America, Australia and New Zealand, highlighting their staying power and still strong connection with fans, a quarter century after they began in Tulsa, Oklahoma. As the band embarks on their 26th year performing together they have set their sites on musical projects that break new ground. Echoing the aspirational qualities of the single "I Was Born", the group is still driven by a sense of purpose and optimism, which imbues every part of their career and continues to attract new and old fans alike. Founded in 1992 at ages 11, nine and six, brothers Isaac, Taylor and Zac spent their first five years building a fanbase as an independent band in Tulsa, OK, performing both classic rock 'n' roll and soul music and their own original material, to form their own unique blend of harmony-driven, soulful pop-rock. This unlikely focus was forged by an early introduction to music from the 1950's and early 60's, with the young brothers citing influences from Aretha Franklin to Otis Redding, The Beatles, Elvis, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. These influences formed the bedrock of their musical inspiration, helping to forge their signature sound which incorporated strong melodies and song craft, as well as reverence for their musical forefathers. After five years and two independent albums, HANSON released their major label debut in 1997, and saw a meteoric rise with the international smash single "Mmmbop" from the album Middle Of Nowhere, which garnered multiple Grammy nominations and five consecutive top 40 singles, including "Where's The Love," "I Will Come To You" and "Weird". Continuing the momentum with their critically acclaimed sophomore release This Time Around, more hit singles and extensive touring deepened the band's connection with their fans, and helped to cement their place as one of the world's leading artists. After a record label merger nearly derailed the release of their second album, in 2003 HANSON decided to found their own independent 3CG Records. The decision to form the label was ahead of its time with few high level mainstream artists choosing to self release, but with the new label the band was able to establish stability in a very turbulent music business, starting a new era for themselves. Their first independent release, Underneath in 2004, was a #1 Billboard Independent Album, and helped establish HANSON as one of the most successful independent bands to date. Since then HANSON has released 3 more studio albums, The Walk, Shout It Out, and ANTHEM, as well as an ongoing stream of special products and live albums through their label, and toured the world, continuing to focus on cultivating a vibrant global fanbase. The group has sold over 16 million albums to date. In 2007, they launched a grassroots campaign to help combat poverty and provide HIV/AIDS relief in Africa (TakeTheWalk.net), hosting one-mile barefoot walks with thousands of individuals committed to the cause. In 2013, the group diversified its brand with the founding of their Hanson Brothers Beer Company, and in 2014 established The Hop Jam Beer and Music Festival, based in their hometown of Tulsa, OK, which brings artists and brewers from all over the world to one of the country's leading Craft Beer and Music Festivals with 40,000 in attendance. HANSON has never been driven by trends or fame, but instead is fueled by the personal drive to create great art, inspire connection and cultivate community. Those qualities are at the root of the band's longevity and lasting connection with fans.
Sep 13 2018 Hanson announces new album; shares new song and video
HANSON ANNOUNCE NOV 9 RELEASE DATE FOR STRING THEORY DOUBLE-ALBUM
NPR MUSIC PREMIERE FIRST FULL SONG AND VIDEO
INTERNATIONAL STRING THEORY CONCERT DATES ANNOUNCING LATE SEPTEMBER
Pop rock trio HANSON announce the release date for their highly anticipated double-album String Theory, which is set for November 9, available at major retailers. Premiering exclusively with NPR Music is "Siren Call," the first full song and video from the String Theory project, featuring the band performing with a 46-piece Orchestra. String Theory dates are already slated to reach fans across North America this fall, with the first leg of international tour dates in Europe and Australia set to be announced later this month. The landmark symphonic project, follows the band's sold out 25th Anniversary World Tour in 2017.
String Theory brings together an exciting collaboration of song craftsmanship and symphonic majesty, framing the established trio's music through a special collaboration with Academy award winning arranger David Campbell, spawning both a world tour featuring the band playing live with Symphony Orchestras, and a double length studio album. Special album packages, including the instrumental album "A Piece Of String," and the behind the scenes documentary Theory Of Everything, as well as exclusive limited edition items are also available on the band's official site HANSON.net.
In anticipation of the album's release later this fall, fans can get a deeper look at the project and the story behind it through a weekly video series, with new episodes released on the band's YouTube channel each Thursday leading up to the Nov 9 release. Each installment features a song from String Theory, along with band interviews hosted by Austin City Limits Radio personality Andy Langer.
HANSON's most ambitious musical project to date features songs spanning the band's career, including some of their best known material ("MmmBop," "Where's The Love," "This Time Around" and more) alongside brand new or never-released-to-the-public songs ("Reaching For The Sky," "Battle Cry," "Breaktown," "No Rest For The Weary" and more) which tell a story of aspiration, despair, fortitude and ultimately a return to optimism.
The tour brings String Theory to the stage with many leading symphonies at some of the most iconic venues, among them the National Symphony Orchestra at the Filene Center at Wolftrap and the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra at Heinz Hall, already announced earlier this year and on sale now. New dates include Los Angeles at The Greek Theatre, New York at the Beacon Theatre and Chicago at the Chicago Theatre, on sale July 27. US and Canada dates continue throughout the Spring of 2019, with international dates to be announced later this month taking the tour to Europe, Australia, and more in Spring 2019.
The album features brand new and rearranged recordings with full symphonic orchestration, and will be available in digital and physical formats, with special content and packages available via the band's official website www.Hanson.net. The band recordings were produced by HANSON and mixed by Grammy winning Producer and Engineer Jim Scott (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tom Petty, Wilco, Sting). The symphonic composition was recorded in Prague, lead by arranger David Campbell. New HANSON recordings were engineered by Craig Alvin (Kacey Musgraves) with additional production and engineering credits including past collaborators of the band, Danny Kortchmar (Don Henley, Billy Joel, James Taylor), Steve Churchyard (The Eagles, Train, Faith Hill, Taylor Swift) and CJ Eiriksson (U2, Matchbox Twenty, Phish).
String Theory is the next frontier for HANSON, telling a story of aspiration and fortitude against the odds. The music resonates with authenticity, coming from a group whose signature is never to chase trends, but instead to stay focused on their melodic craftsmanship, establishing themselves as one of the few artists of their generation able to continually reinvent and reimagine their music, which has helped them to maintain an active global fanbase over 25 years after their founding.

ALBUM OUT THIS FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 9
ON TOUR WITH ORCHESTRA NOW
"In the case of String Theory, it's perhaps best to view the concept as a means of highlighting Hanson's remarkable songcraft…Now that they're in their 30s (and still writing new records, selling out theaters and even brewing their own line of beer), they're better positioned to demonstrate what's long been obvious: These guys write hooks sturdy enough to hold up any kind of arrangement you can name."

May 01 2019 HANSON partner with DESTIHL Brewery for Hop Jam 2019
HANSON BROTHERS BEER CO. AND DESTIHL BREWERY ANNOUNCE COLLABORATION FOR THE HOP JAM BEER & MUSIC FESTIVAL
HANSON BROTHERS BEER Co. and DESTIHL® Brewery will be debuting an exciting collaboration, Pink Moonlight Peach Milkshake IPA, at The Hop Jam Beer & Music Festival on May 19th in Tulsa, OK. The beer will also be featured at The Hop Jam Firkin Feast Beer Dinner on May 18th.
DESTIHL's co-founder, Matt Potts, originally met Taylor, Isaac and Zac Hanson when drumming with them (along with Kyle Hollingsworth of String Cheese Incident) over a three-year stint of The Intersection of Beer & Music Presentation at the Great American Beer Festival® from 2014 to 2016. DESTIHL launched its beers in Oklahoma in 2016 and has been participating in Hop Jam every year since then. The HANSON BROTHERS stopped by DESTIHL Brewery for a visit and tour last fall in between shows, which is when the beer collaboration really came together. "This exciting collaboration has produced the ultimate culmination of the intersection of beer + music between DESTIHL and HANSON, and it's been a fun project that's likely just the beginning of more great beers to come", said Matt.
In discussing the beer, Taylor Hanson noted "For inspiration in naming this collaboration, we looked to one of our songs, 'Penny And Me', which references Pink Moonlight, as a subtle nod to the peaches and lactose in this beer. Our connection with Matt and the DESTHIL team is personified in this special collaboration, fusing our love of craft beer and music. There could not be a more perfect time to share it than at the Hop Jam Festival, which is all about the connection between those two worlds."
Pink Moonlight Peach Milkshake IPA will inspire you to gaze at the starry skies while enjoying this collaboration, loaded with fruit flavors and aromas from peaches, Mosiac, El Dorado and Amarillo hops, and a light creaminess from lactose.
Pink Moonlight Peach Milkshake IPA will be available for a limited time in draft and 4 pack-12oz cans exclusively at select retailers in Oklahoma beginning the week of May 20th and at DESTIHL Brewery's Beer Hall in Normal, IL beginning on May 17th.
The Hop Jam, Oklahoma's largest craft beer and music festival features a roster of 100+ breweries and an all-ages, free concert. Set to take place on two stages on May 19, the 2019 Hop Jam will be headlined by festival founders HANSON and indie rock powerhouse, Phantom Planet.

My adventure in watercolor has brought me to a new challenge, Glass. Well at least an "Appletini" challenge for now. Up until now any attempts at glass were as sketches or ink drawings, I usually get as far as the outline and basic shadows. Oh and did I say only in my private sketch pads where no one else would see. Something about glass just didn't click.
So, now I am challenging myself and I have committed to painting something that I have always had difficulty with and "Not what you think you see" ringing in my ears.
The results!! I'll let you be the judge!!
The future is 'foggy", but mountains of fun! When the fog clears, inspiration follows!!
Deb...this is wonderful...love your colors, your clean reflections...looks like you "got the hang of it" to me.
I follow my muse into what ever unique creative inspiration or medium she takes me. I create because she is part of my nature, I share because I want you to see what I see and who I am.

The goal of this book is to present the most advanced research works in realistic computer generated images. It is made up of the papers presented during a Eurographics workshop that has been held in Rennes (France) on June 1990. Although realism in computer graphics has existed for many years, we have considered that two research directions can now clearly be identified. One makes use of empirical methods to efficiently create images that look real. As opposed to this approach, the other orientation makes use of physics to produce images that are exact representations of the real world (at the expense of additional processing time), hence the term photosimulation which indeed was the subject of this book. The objectives of this workshop were to assemble experts from physics and computer graphics in order to contribute to the introduction of physics-based approaches in the field of computer generated images. The fact that this workshop was the first entirely devoted to this topic was a bet and fortunately it turned out that it was a success. The contents of this book is organized in five chapters: Efficient Ray Tracing Meth ods, Theory of Global Illumination Models, Photometric Algorithms, Form-Factor Cal culations and Physics-Based Methods.

A fascinating reflection on the essence of cooking - from Ferran Adriá's elBullifoundation
For groundbreaking chefs such as Ferran Adriá, cooking has reached a level of complexity where science, chemistry, and technology intersect with immense creativity and imagination. Adriá's latest 'Sapiens' volume takes readers on a compelling journey to better understand the relationship between the human race and the process of preparing food. Packed with images from Adriá's legendary restaurant elBulli, his unique personal sketches, and explanatory diagrams that are used in his lectures, this book revolutionizes the way we look at how we prepare what we eat.
Ferran Adrià joined the staff of elBulli in 1984 and rapidly progressed to become head chef. Famous for his pioneering culinary techniques, he has been applauded - and imitated - around the world, and won three Michelin stars for elBulli, along with many other accolades. Since elBulli's closure in 2011, Ferran has been lecturing around the world and developing the elBullifoundation, a culinary academy and think tank, on the site of the former restaurant.

Committees under the Commission on Body Imaging are addressing such issues as incidental findings and colon cancer research.
The Commission on Body Imaging is working hard on several initiatives of importance to the body imaging community and the patients it serves.
The commission is composed of several committees and subcommittees that focus on issues specific to various organ systems, socioeconomic topics, and clinical problems related to body imaging.
Together with the ACR Economics Commission, this committee supports the ACR Carrier Advisory Committee Network by reviewing and commenting on draft local coverage determinations, National Correct Coding Initiative edits, and medically unlikely edits.
The committee also supports the ACR Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) activities by reviewing and providing guidance on the CPT code applications; it supports the Relative Value Update Committee process by gathering survey data for new codes. In addition, the committee also supports the Economics Committee on Coding and Nomenclature by reviewing coding questions and articles for publications. The Economics Committee on Body Imaging also provides data-driven responses to pending and future health-care legislation that affects body imaging. Also, the committee, in conjunction with ACR leadership and administration, seeks support from local chapters to educate and work with legislators on policies that impact patient care.
The Incidental Findings Committee is charged with developing recommendations related to the follow-up and management of incidental findings that are commonly detected during body imaging examinations. (See "Chance Encounter" in the September issue of the Bulletin.) In 2010, the committee completed consensus development and published a landmark white paper in JACR® focused on incidental pancreatic cystic lesions, adrenal nodules, renal masses, and liver lesions.1 The committee is conducting further consensus development for incidental findings in other areas, including the spleen, lymph nodes, gallbladder, biliary tree, vascular system, and ovaries. In addition, the committee intends to extend its reach by developing interdisciplinary buy-in and consensus around its recommendations.
This committee has been vigorous in responding to publications related to screening CT for lung cancer. The committee believes that information regarding both clinical outcomes and cost effectiveness of lung cancer screening should be spread throughout the imaging community. The committee is also strongly represented in professional societies and organizations focused on the emerging clinical application of computed tomography.
The Colon Cancer Committee continues its efforts to expand both private and public payer reimbursement for CT colonography (CTC). At the national level, the committee seeks a Medicare national coverage determination for screening CTC. At the state level, the current focus is on encouraging enforcement of state laws mandating coverage in accordance with American Cancer Society guidelines (which include CTC). Members of the Colon Cancer Committee work with members of the ACR-led CT Colonography Coalition on positive press and online educational materials to increase use of CTC, which is especially important considering that many private payers now offer coverage. To further its efforts, the committee developed and distributed CT colonography jump drives. Each drive contains guidelines, publication lists, and current state laws regarding colorectal cancer screening. The goal is to quickly and efficiently provide information to individuals advocating for coverage at the state and local levels.
The Liver Imaging-Reporting and Data System™ (LI-RADS™) Committee has launched LI-RADS, which is now publicly available as an ACR-sponsored standard. LI-RADS is intended to facilitate standardized interpretation and reporting of observations (such as nodules and other lesions) encountered in patients undergoing CT or MRI surveillance for hepato-cellular carcinoma. Currently, LI-RADS focuses only on extracellular agents; a future version of LI-RADS will be expanded to include hepatobiliary agents. Similarly, the MRI Prostate Imaging - Reporting and Data System™ (PI-RADS™) Committee has been formed to conduct a parallel effort for prostate imaging. This is being done in partnership with the International Prostate Imaging Workgroup and the AdMeTech Foundation.
The Body Imaging Commission is hard at work addressing many issues related to the field of body imaging, for the betterment of our patients and our profession alike. All ACR members are welcome to advise and participate in any current initiatives and to suggest future initiatives for the Commission.

Financial Wellness Strategies that Pay Back Employers with Interest
Benjamin Franklin is credited with the saying, "A penny saved is a penny earned." The actual quote is a little more Colonial ("A penny saved is twopence clear"). Either way, little could frugal Ben have imagined how hard it would become to save those pennies.
A $1 Trillion Problem
Debt in this country is increasing, up $117 billion in 2014 and climbing, according to the New York Federal Reserve Bank. Mortgages top the list, followed by auto loans, student debt, and credit cards. And it's an equal-opportunity problem. While young people report the most financial stress, people over 40 are carrying nearly 1/3 of the collective $1.3 trillion in education obligations, meaning they're managing not only their own loans, but likely those of their children, and perhaps grandchildren as well. As a result, the Government Accountability Office says many Americans are unprepared for retirement.
The Costs for Employers in Absenteeism and Productivity
All that financial weight is unsurprisingly cumbersome. How these challenges affect employees is obvious. But what they mean for employers is only just coming into view. Unlike some other challenges, debt problems aren't always so visible. People don't bring it up, observed Bright Horizons Senior Vice President Patrick Donovan at the recent webinar, Employee Financial Wellness; Your $1 Trillion Problem: "It just isn't something they're going to really talk about around the water cooler." It might be hush-hush, but the pile of debt is nevertheless leaving a mark. The New York Federal Reserve Bank says billions of dollars in loans are past due. And experts are drawing a straight line between such debt and bottom lines. In their Benefits Trends report, MetLife says 81% of employees told them financial stresses had affected their productivity. The same study said that one-in-five employees have skipped work because of a financial problem. And more than a third of HR people told SHRM that their employees have called in sick because of a money-related issue. With Kronos reporting that unscheduled absences add up to a whopping 35% of base payroll, employers are understandably concerned.
The Value of a Solid Financial Wellness Strategy
As a practical matter, compensation will only get you so far, say experts. Besides, as Bright Horizons Chief Human Resources Officer Dan Henry pointed out in a blog, more money means more to manage. "It's not about how much money they have," he wrote, "It's about how they manage it." Though college-loan repayment programs are gaining traction, so-called softer solutions that address management issues are credited with having a wide reach. Wayne Klieger, senior vice president of compensation and benefits for Neuberger Berman told the webinar that individual financial planning for employees and their families has helped promote the kind of stable financial wellness people are after. He also credited college advising (time- and worry-saving strategies to apply, save, pay, and finance) for supporting both financial and mental wellness. Financial programs are gaining a foothold with younger employees, says Wayne, a trend that falls in line with Bright Horizons research showing Millennials thoughts about money and employment choices.
Generating Long-Term ROI
With absenteeism and productivity both substantial drags on bottom lines, such solutions promise significant ROI. Programs that ease the burden, observed Neuberger Berman's Wayne, "have direct correlation to employee productivity and absenteeism." But realizing the greatest gains, added Patrick, will require employers to use employee surveys to learn specifically what's hanging up their people. A survey by Bright Horizons, for example, illuminated retirement-savings challenges and resulted in programs that substantially moved the dial on financial wellness. And the benefits of such programs, says Patrick, will be measurable for years to come. By 2020, a shortage of employees will leave companies scrambling for people. The employers who'll come out on top will know how to help people establish financial wellness. "It's really a two-way street," observed Wayne." I think the employees need to be committed to doing this, and the firm needs to be committed to helping the employees."
The Webinar, "Employee Financial Wellness: Your $1 Trillion Problem," explores, and offers solutions to, today's substantial money challenges. View the replay here.

The Old and New in Early Fifteenth Century Padua
19 April 2015 10 October 2016 ~ Jason Stoessel
Last week (7-9 April 2015) I had the opportunity to give a talk entitled
Climbing Mount Ventoux: The Contest/Context of Scholasticism and Humanism in early Fifteenth-Century Paduan Music Theory and Practice
It was delivered at this year's conference of the Sydney Intellectual History Network, which was entitled "Rethinking Intellectual History", at the University of Sydney. As part of a session of papers discussing the concept of the Ancient and Modern in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century music theory, I spoke about the contrasting approaches of two authors writing in early fifteenth-century Padua: the composer Johannes Cicionia; and the university professor Prosdocimo de' Beldomandi.
The stance on the ancients in Ciconia's revolutionary Nova musica is well known, especially since its discussion by Stefano Mengozzi in his book The Renaissance Reform of Medieval Music Theory . I took the opportunity to examine further how Cicionia's approach to music theory, which looked back to the learning of the "ancients" to inspire a new understanding, paralleled developments in humanist culture at Padua, especially the innovations of Pier Paolo Vergerio. Vergerio's revival of ancient rhetorical models in his funerary orations and his panegyrics for St Jerome is well known, especially from the excellent scholarship of John McManamon. To reinvent public oratory, Vergerio looked to writings on rhetoric and oratory for Ancient Greece and Rome, and the speeches of figures like Marcus Tullius Cicero.
Ciconia, on the other hand, found few examples of writings about music from Greek and Roman Antiquity: instead he turned to readily available sources like Boethius (through whose writings much Greco-Roman music theory was transmitted), Remigius of Auxerre, Saint Augustine and the grammarians of late Antiquity. In doing so, Ciconia set out for the first time a comprehensive model for music as rhetoric.
While earlier writers had already associated some of the fundamentals of music with grammar, and thereby dissociated it from its traditional place among the mathematical arts known as the quadrivium, none had approached the topic of music as rhetoric as comprehensively as Ciconia. Ciconia does this in two ways. First he rejects the music pedagogical traditions that had been established by Guido of Arezzo in the 11th century of using six syllables — ut, re, mi, fa, sol and la — to sight sing music. One of the most confusing features of Guido's sight singing system, known today as solmisation, was that that both the musical sounds and syllables were called voces. Voces (or the singular vox), which means 'voices' ('voice'), was a term that fifth and sixth century grammarians had used to describe the simplest vocal sounds, which, when they can be understood to represent particular elements of speech or phonemes, we call syllables. Ciconia thereby emphasised, in keeping with the Pre-Guidonian ancients, a model in which musical sounds, rather than solmisation "syllables", were central to a conception of music. In emphasising the primacy of tone over spoken syllable, Ciconia advocates using the monochord—a simple musical instrument consisting of a single string over two musical bridges that could be moved to divide the length of the string according to the correctly proportioned intervals of the musical scale—as an aid to sight singing.
Ciconia then goes further, by proposing that music consists of 12 accidents that can be declined just like the parts of speech. In other words, Ciconia proposed the most comprehensive grammar of music ever undertaken, ostensibly for the purpose of developing musicians' knowledge of music's grammar (and rhetoric) akin to the orators' knowledge of literary grammar and rhetoric.
The reason for Ciconia's new approach to music is becomes clear when it is compared to spoken rhetoric or oratory. Rhetoric's purpose was to persuade the listener not just through reason, but through emotion. The ultimate goal of a good orator was to move the passions of his audience to a state that was sympathetic with the subject of a speech or the speaker. Choosing the right words, the right phrases, and especially effective figures of speech which moved listeners, was an essential strategy for the orator. In the same way, the composer-singer's choice of the right musical mode, the right range, and the right manner of singing could profoundly move a listener in music. Put simply for the purposes of this post, Ciconia proposed that the singer knowledgeable in what he considered to be music's grammar and rhetoric could move listeners emotionally and indeed spiritually.
Ciconia's younger contemporary, Prosdocimo de' Beldomandi, continued to approach music in the traditional medieval sense. For him, music was one of the quadrival or mathematical arts, placed comfortably among arithmetic, geometry and astronomy. Ciconia didn't absolutely reject this view, since he repeated emphasises music's proportions. Just as speech needed to balanced and skilfully combined in rhetoric, music was most pleasing when its tones and durations were perfectly proportioned to one another. Yet, a close reading of Prosdocimo's second rule of counterpoint reveals that this author was not completely insensible to the idea of music behaving more as a rhetorical art than a mathematical one.
The second rule is that counterpoint ought never to be begun or to be finished except in perfect combinations, namely on a unison, perfect fifth, perfect octave or their equivalents: the reason for this is because, if the listener has to be charmed by harmonies, it is fitting that he at first be moved by harmonies sweeter and more amiable to nature, which are the perfect consonances named above; so these must be placed first. Finally the same listener also ought to be released with sweetness and harmony pleasing to nature, lest the same listener's soul, stirred by harsh consonance from the preceding sweet consonance, is kept from that end which harmony tends, namely from joy and pleasure . (trans. Stoessel)
Prosdocimo's language is loaded with words that denote sense and emotion, especially pleasure. Perfect consonances are sweeter and more pleasing, so they must begin and end counterpoint. To not end with a perfect consonance after harsher imperfect consonance thwarts the listener's pleasure and joy, indeed spiritual needs. Terms (shown in the quote in bold text) associated with emotive responses or processes, all used with reference to the listener, make it absolutely clear that Prosdocimus's statement is an aesthetic one, appealing to sense and emotion rather than to reason.
My emphasis upon a rhetorical model of music, and aesthetic responses to it, harks back to the title of my paper which referred to Francesco Petrarch's well known account of his ascent to the summit of Mont Ventoux. Often seen as the junction between the middle ages and Renaissance, Petrarch separates his own experiences from well known figures of the past by recognising the mutability of the human self over time and space, and the relativity of truth contingent up that temporal and locative situations. In doing so, Petrarch, more than any other author before him, rehabilitates human subjectivity to the realm of literature. Consequently, with truth contingent upon the position of the human subject and those around him or her, the power of modes of persuasion found in rhetoric and oratory assume a new importance. In the same way, music's emotional power takes centre stage in Ciconia's Nova musica and even Prosdocimo's second rule of counterpoint: music's ability to move listeners to joy and pleasure doesn't no rely on just its well proportioned sounds, but upon the ability of singers (and indeed composers) to modulate and vary those relationships. Ciconia's model of music is founded upon a grammatical model of human speech outlined by the ancients, but in shaping those ideas according to the ideas of early humanism, the composer and theorist arrives an a new and decisively modern concept of music that would persist in various guises and reformulations for another four centuries.

Thanksgiving Day serves up tasty divisional matchups
Published: Apr 19, 2018 at 01:07 PM
Nick Shook
For the second straight year, we have a little bit of history to go with your turkey.
Instead of gravy, it's the New Orleans Saints who will host a divisional contest for the Thanksgiving night prime-time game. They'll meet the Atlanta Falcons, with whom they battled last season in two thrillers that helped determine playoff seeding, in their first home Thanksgiving game in franchise history.
New Orleans played in a Thanksgiving game once before, edging the Cowboys 30-27 in Dallas in 2010. Atlanta is 1-1 in Thanksgiving contests, topping Detroit 27-7 in 2005 and falling to Indianapolis 31-13 in 2007.
Beyond that, we also get the standard Cowboys and Lions home games, with Detroit and Dallas hosting divisional opponents in Chicago and Washington. It's a divisional feast!
Chicago Bears at Detroit Lions, 12:30 p.m. ET, CBS
This one has all the feels of a classicThanksgiving Day matchup. I can see the throwbacks already. Two legacy franchises clash in an NFC North battle between a Lions team expected to contend for a postseason berth and a Bears squad that's looking to make a significant jump, now that it has its franchise quarterback installed and a new head coach behind the wheel. Matt Nagy gets a holiday showdown in his first season, and the Lions get a potentially important home contest against a team it should be equipped to beat. Matthew Stafford vs. Mitchell Trubisky? Sign us up.
Washington Redskins at Dallas Cowboys, 4:30 p.m. ET, FOX
This rivalry has some fresh pizazz, thanks to the arrival of Alex Smith to the Redskins and the departure of Dez Bryant from the Cowboys. Whose Thanksgiving will Josh Norman aim to ruin this year? We lose that classic matchup, but get a potential Smith-Dak Prescott battle. We were robbed of a quality season from the Redskins last year thanks to a rash of injuries, so it's somewhat difficult to know what to expect from this meeting, but we'll get a familiar face on an opposite sideline: Orlando Scandrick will now line up opposite the fellows donning the stars instead of counting himself as one of them. Juicier than grandma's home-baked ham.
Atlanta Falcons at New Orleans Saints, 8:20 p.m. ET, NBC
As any well-traveled (or well-engorged) Thanksgiving veteran knows, the feast isn't complete without dessert. Consider this meeting the absolute best slice of pumpkin pie. Matt Ryan and Co. return to the Big Easy to face sage, skilled signal-caller Drew Brees and a potent Saints team ready to make amends for last season's stunning, heartbreaking finish. No better way for them to celebrate the holiday by first watching the parade before marching over the Falcons -- or is Atlanta here to score a tasty road upset? Tune in after the food coma and just before making your first plate of leftovers.

Radio stations in transition: Tom Steel hands reins to Black Diamond Broadcasting
Longtime owner Tom Steel hands reins to Black Diamond Broadcasting
By Dan Chalk, Midland Daily News
Published 5:00 am EST, Thursday, November 26, 2020
Tom Steel
After 39 years of some degree of ownership and 43 years at the radio stations altogether, Tom Steel is ready to give up the reins of Steel Broadcasting.
And Mike Chires and Norm McKee of Black Diamond Broadcasting are happy to steer the Midland institution on Bayliss Street into the future.
On Oct. 1, Steel sold Steel Broadcasting — which includes 1490 AM, 107.7 FM, and 97.7 FM — to Black Diamond.
Steel said he and his wife, Bev, felt this was the right time to sell for several reasons.
"We've got three kids, but none of them were interested in taking over the business," said Steel, 66. "It just kind of felt right in terms of timing and still having my health and being able to do some things we're going to want to do (with our family)," he said.
He said he's relieved to be able to give up the day-to-day operations of the station, but will miss the bonds he's developed with business owners and others in town.
"You build relationships that are more than just business — it's a personal relationship as well,' Steel said.
But Steel hasn't left the radio station completely. He is "sticking around," as he put it, for an indefinite period of time to help with the transition to the new ownership.
"I'll be doing some consulting and still be able to help in any way I can, whether with (advertising) accounts, with the community, whatever that might look like going forward," Steel said.
Steel very thankful
Looking back over his time at Steel Broadcasting, Steel expressed a lot of gratitude.
"I'm thankful to God for making (my ownership of the station) possible. I'm thankful to my wife Bev and my family for their support. I'm thankful to my employees that helped make it possible," Steel said
That thankfulness also extends to the Midland community in general.
"You have to bring in enough advertising revenue to pay the bills. So you are definitely in need of good employees and good support from the community as far as businesses supporting the station," Steel said. "I've been thankful for great community support from the businesses."
Steel was hired in 1977 as a salesperson by WMPX 1490 AM and earned $700 a month. He recalls one of the original employees from the 1948 founding of the station, Pete Wolfe, was still working there at the time.
Two years later, Steel was transferred to another radio station in the same ownership group in Clinton, Iowa, to be the sales manager there.
In 1981, Steel returned to Midland when WMPX general manager Ron Maines bought the station, with Steel acquiring a small percentage of ownership.
Ten years later, in 1991, Maines sold his majority interest in the station to Steel. And in about 1996, Steel became the sole owner of what became known as Steel Broadcasting. The 97.7 FM station, WMRX, was acquired in 1984, and 107.7 FM was acquired in 2019.
Steel's vision for the station has been to be a community resource.
"We've always viewed ourselves as part of the Midland community and wanting to be a news and information source for what's happening in the community," Steel said.
Airing high school sports events live and sponsoring and broadcasting the annual Midland Santa Holiday Parade have also been points of emphasis for the station under Steel, who periodically broadcast live from the Midland Chamber of Commerce's "Wake Up Midland" breakfasts.
New owners plan to build on Steel's success
As for Chires, who is the chief executive officer of Black Diamond Broadcasting, he plans to carry forward many of the elements that Steel has incorporated, including the Discover Michigan magazine, a source for discount lodging, meals and activities throughout the state.
"The thing that really impressed us was the local community involvement (the stations have)," Chires said. "Tom Steel has done a great job of building a very strong relationship with the community. and our objective is to continue that and even elevate it to a higher level.
"The stations are very involved with high school sports, and we're going to continue that," Chires added.
The stations 1490 AM and 107.7 FM "The Highway" simulcast a format of "classic country," Chires said. The other station, "Sunny" 97.7 FM, plays primarily popular songs of the 1970s, 80s and 90s, he said.
McKee, like Chires a lifelong Michigan resident, is the chief financial officer and chief operating officer for Black Diamond Broadcasting, which with this acquisition now owns 13 radio stations in central and northern Michigan.
Among those stations are Houghton Lake-based 98.5 FM WUPS and several stations in Traverse City.
Chires said he and McKee have both worked in broadcasting for over 30 years and are excited to expand their network of stations.
"These stations (in Midland) are very successful. If it's not broke, don't fix it," Chires said. "Our objective is to continue to build on the success Tom Steel has had. It's to basically make it a more music-friendly station with more on-air talent to support the music."
The three stations currently have six full-time employees, Chires said.
Chires is glad to be able to keep Steel on board for a little while longer.
"We have a great relationship with Tom and there is a lot of respect both ways," Chires said. "Part of the deal, which made it more appealing to me, was Tom's willingness to stay on in a consulting role for several months to help in the transition and make sure our customers and the community are well served during the transition."

A new report has revealed that a great deal of the US government's most important functions, including the management of its nuclear arsenal and the collecting of taxes, are still handled by severely outdated legacy systems.
The "Federal Agencies Need to Address Aging Legacy Systems" report offers insight into how many departments use systems and technologies that are no longer supported by their manufacturers, with the oldest system still in use being over 50 years old.
The fact that the US Defense Department is still using 8-inch floppy disks in the system that is responsible for controlling the country's nuclear forces is startling. The IBM Series/1, which was designed in the 1970s, is used by the department to coordinate intercontinental ballistic missiles, nuclear bombers and tanker support aircraft. The report also listed the "Strategic Automated Command and Control System" as one of the 10 oldest IT systems currently in use by the US government.
Rodney Billingsley, Federal Sales Leader at Tintri commented: "A recent report from the Government Accountability Office highlighted several government departments where legacy systems need to be replaced - and that includes storage. Given the government's emphasis on virtualisation, the risk is that these departments invest in storage that offers all-flash IOPS via a dated architecture. That solves for near-term performance, but not manageability.
"What they really need is all-flash storage specifically built for virtualisation and cloud, so they can guarantee performance of mission critical applications and scale with far greater efficiency. Several departments have already invested in a virtualisation aware storage platform, and are managing storage in a fraction of the time and at far reduced cost."


A short documentary film about the creation of the Vanitas project by Matthew Rolston, filmed in Los Angeles, California, and Palermo, Italy.
This film follows artist Matthew Rolston on a personal journey of discovery about the subjects of death and death-denial, one that raises questions about the existence of objective truth in photography. Expressed as monumentally-scaled fine art portraits, Rolston's "Vanitas" series examines the mummified remains of some of the prominent citizens, both religious and aristocratic, buried in the Capuchin Catacombs of Palermo - a subject much visited by artists, writers and poets throughout its more-than 500-year history. Written by Alessandra Pasquino, Matthew Rolston, and Sean Nalaboff. Produced by R-ROLL. Directed by Alessandra Pasquino.

How to create a strong work culture that works for the young, and the not-so-young
Create a strong work culture and you've laid the foundation for a stable and thriving enterprise, right? You've got an environment that fosters positivity and productivity, performance and engagement. Sounds great. Sounds easy.
Unfortunately, creating a culture is one thing. Creating a culture that works for everyone is another. What do you need to be mindful of to make sure your efforts aren't being put into a house of cards?
Here's 5 suggestions for building a truly strong work culture
1. Make sure the work is meaningful
Attracting and retaining engaged employees will first and foremost come down to the work you're asking them to do every day. Do they understand how their work is a small but crucial piece in a larger puzzle? Are they given enough freedom of thought to invent better ways to get things done?
Often young people will be given more menial tasks – which is completely understandable – but make sure you're delegating a other tasks regularly to stretch their capabilities and make them feel like a valued part of the business.
If you can't bring yourself to delegate yet, bring them into the fold where you can. Allow them to shadow you on certain jobs and meetings, so they can widen their horizons and gain a deeper understanding of what's expected further up the line.
2. Remember the 80/20 rule when it comes to health and wellbeing
Health and wellbeing is 'so hot right now', but here's what we've noticed. In a bid to promote healthy habits and increase physical and mental fitness in the workplace, the fun police have taken away all the treats! Spice up the fun factor on your health and wellbeing program with the 80/20 rule.
You've got 5 days to work with, so how about on 2 of those days you break from regular programming, with a fun treat that's not going to break the health bank. Hump day could be ushered in with a ceremonial unlocking of the choccy bikkie cupboard every Wednesday morning. Takeaway 'Fish n Chip Friday' could be your way to gather the troops under a leafy tree and bid the week goodbye.
3. Be part of a future-proofed career
Who knows what the future of work will look like? We don't, but we do know we all need to get comfortable with continuous learning and reinvention. No matter how young or old your employees are, they've got an eye on the future, so make sure you do too. Keep providing genuine opportunities for learning and talk to them about them moving up (or on) in a positive, rather than resentful way.
Formal Performance Reviews and Personal Development Plans are great, but don't forget the impact a few casual words can have. Remember, young workers are like sponges – they'll always remember how you made them feel and that sage advice you gave while making a quick cuppa in the kitchen.
4. Create safe spaces for a speak up culture
The workplace is a diverse place – you know this by now. While some people relish every opportunity to make their voice heard, others are more introverted. They're bound to remain tight lipped unless they feel safe and comfortable about speaking up. Younger workers in particular might struggle to show their more extroverted side at work.
In addition to simply asking for feedback and opinions in group meetings or one-on-ones, offer other avenues for speaking up. Set up mechanisms for both verbal and written feedback, as well as anonymous feedback.
5. Get involved in workplace giving
According to the science, we humans are hard-wired to give. What's more? The more we give, the happier we feel. Tap into this phenomenon by getting everyone involved in regular events and activities that have a charitable mission.
In addition to making everyone feel good about where they work and the difference they're making in the wider world, it's a great way to forge stronger bonds across teams. Everyone's away from their desks but still working together.

Náin I (1832 - 1981 T. E.) es un personaje ficticio que forma parte del legendarium creado por el escritor británico J. R. R. Tolkien y cuya historia es narrada en los apéndices de la novela El Señor de los Anillos. Es un enano del pueblo de Durin, hijo de Durin VI y último soberano del reino de Khazad-dûm antes de su caída.

Historia
En el año 1980 de la Tercera Edad del Sol, los enanos que excavaban bajo el monte Caradhras en busca de mithril despertaron a un balrog que llevaba allí oculto desde el final de la Primera Edad del Sol. La criatura mató a Durin VI, hecho que llevó a los enanos a ponerle el sobrenombre de Daño de Durin. Náin sucedió a su padre en el trono de Khazad-dûm; pero, tan sólo un año después, el balrog también le mató. Entonces, los enanos abandonaron el Reino; y el hijo de Náin, Thráin I, se marchó a Erebor y se convirtió así en su primer rey.

The Beast of Jersey (3 of 3)
See here for Part 1 and here for Part 2.
On 10th July 1971 around 11.45pm a car jumped the lights at Georgetown, just east of St Helier, and drove off erratically. Police Constables Riseborough and McGinn, on mobile patrol, gave chase. It was hair-raising as the Morris 1100 attempted to evade the chasers for several miles. Had the driver simply stopped at the outset and apologised he might have got away with it I imagine.
How the Beast appeared to his victims
He was eventually caught and arrested and taken to police HQ. Over the ensuing hours it became clear, by the man's dress and the contents of his pockets and car, that this was no ordinary arrest. It was Edward John Louis Paisnel, 46, The Beast of Jersey. A building contractor, well-known and respected, married with a daughter and two step-children.
Searches of his house at Grouville revealed the extent of his activities and of his interests and mindset. His wife Joan professed to know nothing of her husband's nocturnal activities.
Paisnel arriving for trial
He was charged on 13 counts and was quickly found guilty and sentenced to 30 years. He served 20 years in Winchester Gaol and was released after being a model prisoner. Astonishingly, he sought to return to Jersey but no one here was having it. He moved to the Isle of Wight where, three years later in 1994, he died of a heart attack.
Paisnel unmasked
For a more detailed account you should visit the excellent True Crime Enthusiast website.
4 thoughts on "The Beast of Jersey (3 of 3)"
He kinda looks like a beast . HIs arrest seems anticlimatic consdering his heinous crimes. Good series.
Thanks Pat. Unbelievable that it was only a traffic offence he was arrested for, after 14 years at large.
Scary stuff, unbelievable he was able to carry on for 14 years without being caught. I wonder if he actually wanted the police to get him in the end – these psychopathic serial offenders often do seek the attention, I believe. Events like this must be very unusual in Jersey (thank goodness!) and I'm surprised he is barely remembered.
I'm afraid our police have never been good with major crime. You're right though, incredible that Paisnel continued to live and work among us undetected for so long. Those assaults listed were only those he was charged with. There were others.
And indeed it's interesting how the world moves on so quickly. People quickly put bad stuff behind them. Maybe it's just as well.
