UN voucher programme adds more fresh food to diets in Somaliland, aids local economy
WFP/C. McDonough
A mother buys canned fish from a local vendor using a WFP food voucher in Burao, northern Somalia.
Thousands of people in Somaliland, in northern Somalia, are getting more fresh meat in their diet as a result of an innovative UN initiative that provides parents with vouchers to help them afford nutritious food from local traders, according to the World Food Programme (WFP).
"Using vouchers gives people greater choice about what food to eat, and gives WFP a powerful new tool for providing food assistance to the most vulnerable," WFP's Country Director for Somalia, Stefano Porretti, said in a news release today. "At the same time, vouchers help the local economy by supporting local small and medium-scale producers and retailers."
Under the programme, people receive $80 in vouchers each month and can use them to buy a variety of food including rice, cooking oil and fresh camel and goat meat. So far, around 15,000 people in north-western Somaliland are being given the vouchers as an alternative to food rations, and WFP plans to expand the initiative to other areas later this year.
WFP has reached about 1.5 million people with assistance in those areas of Somalia to which it has had access since the start of the east African country's food crisis last year. Long-awaited rains and a good harvest mean that famine has receded, but gains made in food security and nutrition are fragile.
The first phase of the voucher project is linked to WFP's nutrition programme for young children in Burao, Somaliland. In the past, the family of each child being treated for moderate malnutrition received a monthly ration of food from WFP, but now, with the WFP-provided set of vouchers, families can buy food from local retailers.
WFP is partnering with the Danish Refugee Council to distribute the vouchers, in coordination with Medair, a non-governmental organisation which manages the nutrition programme in Burao.
In the first phase of the voucher project, 13 local traders registered to accept the vouchers, including those who sell fresh camel and goat meat, which are staples of the diet for most people in the largely pastoralist region and can play a vital role in improving nutritional status.
Eventually, WFP plans to expand the voucher approach to relief, recovery and resilience activities throughout the country where market conditions allow. WFP will distribute vouchers seasonally, during harvest periods when food is available in markets, while at other times of the year, the agency will continue providing direct food rations during the lean seasons when supplies are scarcer.

\section{Introduction} \label{Section1}
The nonrigid rotation of the stellar surfaces which currently has been observed for many thousands of stars (Reinhold et al. 2013)
demonstrates the existence of an effective angular momentum transport in rotating convection zones. There are  various transporters of angular momentum in a rotating turbulence field. The turbulence-induced Reynolds stress transports  by its components $\langle u_r u_\phi  \rangle$ and  $\langle u_\theta u_\phi  \rangle$  angular momentum in radial  and in latitudinal directions. Boussinesq (1897) and  Taylor (1915)   connected the one-point  correlation tensor $Q_{ij}=\langle u_i(\vec{x},t)u_j(\vec{x},t) \rangle$, which is symmetric by definition in its indices $i$ and $j$, with the shear of a large-scale  flow $\vec{U}$ so that
$
Q_{ij}= ...-\nu_{\rm T}(U_{i,j}+U_{j,i})
$
results with the positive-definite eddy viscosity $\nu_{\rm T}$.
Here the notation  $\vec{U} +  \vec{u}$  as  the fluctuating
 velocity  field with the  background flow   $\vec{U}$ has been used.  This ansatz which does not reflect the  anisotropies in the turbulence field immediately yields
\begin{equation}
Q_{r\phi}= -\nu_{\rm T} r \sin\theta\frac{\partial \Om}{\partial r}, \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ Q_{\theta\phi}= -\nu_{\rm T}  \sin\theta\frac{\partial \Om}{\partial \theta}
\label{Qphi}
\end{equation}
for the  mentioned cross-correlations.   As they vanish for rigid rotation they cannot serve to maintain nonuniform  rotation $\Om=\Om(r,\theta)$. The turbulence  in a convection zone, however, is subject to a distinct radial anisotropy by the central gravity which questions the validity of the  relations (\ref{Qphi}). Kippenhahn (1963)  with the concept of an anisotropic viscosity tensor derived a generalized linear relation for the radial transport, i.e.
\begin{equation}
Q_{r\phi}= \nu_{\rm T}\left(- r \frac{\partial \Om}{\partial r} + V(r)\Om\right) \sin\theta,
\label{Qphi1}
\end{equation}
where the second term in (\ref{Qphi}), however,   remains unchanged\footnote{One finds more  details to the history of  `anisotropic viscosity'  and
the related references  in \R\ (1989)}.

Stationary solutions for the angular velocity $\Om$ have to fulfill the Reynolds equation
\beg
\frac{1}{r^2}\frac{\partial \rho r^3 Q_{r\phi}}{\partial r}+ \frac{1}{\sin^2\theta}\frac{\partial\rho\sin^2\theta Q_{\theta\phi}}{\partial\theta}=0,
\label{Rey}
\ende
which ensures the conservation of the angular momentum in the rotating turbulence under neglect of the mean meridional circulation and
the molecular viscosity. Here $\rho$ is the  density. Inserting (\ref{Qphi})$_2$ and  (\ref{Qphi1}) into
(\ref{Rey}) one  finds $\Om$
dependent on $r$ but independent of $\theta$.  For positive radial shear in the rotation law, on the other hand,   a meridional flow {\em towards the equator} is induced at the surface which    accelerates the equator by transporting angular momentum. Such a  meridional flow, however, has not been observed so far.  In contrast, the observed slow meridional flow  rises  at the equator and flows in polar direction  along the surface (Gizon \& Rempel 2008; Schad et al.  2012).

After  (\ref{Qphi})$_2$
an accelerated equator provides  a negative (positive)  horizontal Reynolds stress  at the northern (southern) hemisphere. Recently,  Hathaway et al. (2013) from the data of  the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) empirically isolated a giant cell pattern at the solar surface where the  proper motions form a horizontal
cross-correlation $Q_{\theta\phi}$ antisymmetric with respect to the equator and with a positive  amplitude of $2 \cdot 10^{5}$ cm$^2$/s$^2$ at northern mid-latitudes (Fig. \ref{fig0}). Cells with faster
 rotation tend to move equatorward and vice versa. Because of the symmetry conditions  for the horizontal cross correlation (vanishing at poles and equator by definition) it makes sense to introduce the dimensionless factor $W$ by means of
\beg
Q_{\theta\phi}= \nu_{\rm T}\Om_0  \cos\theta \sin^2\theta W.
\label{Ward}
\ende
The product $ \nu_{\rm T}\Om_0$  ($\Om_0$ the characteristic angular velocity) is the scalar with the correct dimension which reflects the fact that only
 rotating  turbulence possesses finite horizontal cross correlations $Q_{\theta\phi}$. After Hathaway et al. (2013) we have $W\simeq 0.3/\nu_{12}$ with $\nu_{12}=\nu_{\rm T}/(10^{12}{\rm cm}^2/{\rm s}^2)$. Previous investigations with magnetic tracers led to values for $W$ higher by two orders of magnitudes (Ward 1965; Gilman \& Howard 1984; Balthasar et al. 1986) while the statistical analysis of coronal bright points yielded  smaller numbers  (Vrsnak et al. 2004). Note that for solitary spots  Nesme-Ribes et al. (1993)
 even find small but negative correlations.
\begin{figure}[h]

\caption[]{The horizontal  Reynolds stress observed with HMI on the NASA  Solar Dynamics Observatory by Hathaway et. al. (2013). With   permission by D.H. Hathaway. }
\label{fig0}
\end{figure}

The empirical results obviously indicate the invalidity of the simple Boussinesq relation (\ref{Qphi})$_2$ for rotating convection. The observed equatorial acceleration -- if it is a deep-seated phenomenon -- would always provide negative (positive) cross-correlation  values for the northern (southern) hemisphere. As this is not observed it
should be natural to replace the expression  (\ref{Qphi})$_2$ by
\beg
Q_{\theta\phi}= \nu_{\rm T}\left( - \sin\theta\frac{\partial \Om}{\partial \theta}+ \sin^2\theta\cos\theta H (\frac{\Om}{\Om_0})^2\Om\right),
\label{Qt}
\ende
where  the second term on the RHS  is of cubic order in $\Om$. The counterpart
of (\ref{Qt}) with respect to the radial transport of angular momentum is
\beg
Q_{r\phi}=&&\nonumber\\
 &\nu_{\rm T}\left(- r \sin\theta\frac{\partial \Om}{\partial r}+ \sin\theta V\Om-\sin\theta\cos^2\theta H (\frac{\Om}{\Om_0})^2\Om\right)&,
\label{Qr}
\ende
where  here  also a term $V$ linear in $\Om$ appears. All the nondiffusive terms in the expressions for the turbulent angular momentum transport
can be written in the tensorial form $Q_{ij}=...+\Lambda_{ijk}\Om_k$ with the $\Lambda$ effect tensor $\Lambda_{ijk}$ symmetric in its first two indices   which is even in $\Om$ by definition. This is why all terms in (\ref{Qt}) and  (\ref{Qr}) are odd in $\Om$. A tensor of 3$^{\rm rd}$  rank  even in $\Om$ can only be constructed in turbulent fluids if the turbulence is anisotropic by itself and/or inhomogeneous as a consequence of the density stratification. Both conditions are fulfilled in stellar convection zones.

We have shown earlier by means of quasilinear turbulence theory that the function $V$ is negative and  exists mainly in the supergranulation layer while $H$  is positive and  exists mainly in the bulk of the convection zone. Numerical simulations provide very similar results (Chan 2001; K\"appyl\"a et al. 2011; for more details see \R\ et al. 2013). We also know that  the positive  quantity $H$ in (\ref{Qt}) and (\ref{Qr}) both  contribute to the equatorial acceleration so that it is by far not trivial to find the sign of (\ref{Ward}) as a function  of depth.

Solving the equation (\ref{Rey}) with the expressions (\ref{Qt}) and (\ref{Qr}) leads for a simple model with weak shear and uniform density,  uniform $V$ and $H$ and for stress-free  boundaries ($Q_{r\phi}=0$)  to the  the estimates
\beg
\frac{\delta \Om}{\Om_0}\simeq \frac{1+d}{2} \ H,  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ W\simeq - d H
\label{old}
\ende
  (thin shells) for the normalized equator-pole-difference of  $\Om$ and the amplitude of  $W$ both taken at the surface. Both observable  values do not depend on the viscosity value. Here $d\simeq 0.3$ is the normalized thickness of the convection zone.  The negative sign of $W$ means that the latitudinal shear at the surface (due to the action of  $H$) always exceeds the value of $H$.  However, the data of Hathaway et al. (2013)
 concern the giant cell pattern which exists deep in the convection zone rather than at its surface. The shear there is reduced by the lower boundary condition (tachocline!)
 so that  $W$ becomes   positive. The analytical relation for $W$   at the bottom of the convection zone reads $W\simeq d H>0$ because of the reduction of the latitudinal shear.   The observed positivity of the quantity $\cos\theta Q_{\theta\phi}$ appears to be compatible with the existence of the solar tachocline which rapidly reduces the equator-pole difference to zero (probably by  Maxwell stress).

 \section{Mean-field models}\label{Section2}

Let us solve the  mean-field equation (\ref{Rey})  in the northern hemisphere in the domain $0.6\leq x\leq 1$ with the natural boundary conditions $\partial \Om/\partial \theta=0$  at the polar and the equatorial  axis and  the stress-free condition $Q_{r\phi}=0$ at the surface. In order to model a fast tachocline-like  transition at the bottom of the domain rigid-body rotation  is there prescribed. The first-order term $V$ is assumed to exist only in the outermost layers while the third-order   effect $H$  exists down to $x=x_{\rm in}=0.7$. This simple but nonlinear model which only  ignores the transport of angular momentum by the meridional flow yields the numerical results  given in the Figs. \ref{fig1}-- \ref{fig3} which demonstrate the characteristic behavior of the horizontal stress function $W$ as the solution of the Reynolds equation (\ref{Rey}).

\begin{figure}[hbt]
\begin{center}

\caption[]{The rotation law (left) and the horizontal  Reynolds stress function $W$ (right) for a mean-field model with $V=0$ and  $H=1$  in the entire convection zone ($x_{\rm in}\leq x\leq 1$). Here $x$ is the fractional radius of the star. Density is assumed as uniform.}
\label{fig1}
\end{figure}

 We start with the homogeneous turbulence effects $V=0$ and $H=1$ in the entire convection zone. It is easy to see from (\ref{Qr}) that the outer boundary condition requires $\partial \Om/\partial r = 0$ at the equator and negative radial shear  in higher latitudes. The immediate consequence is a uniform rotation beneath the equator and a very strong subrotation along the polar axis. The equator-pole difference of $\Om$ is  always positive and it grows outwards (Fig. \ref{fig1}). It is so strong at the surface that the $W$ becomes negative there while it takes large positive values in the bulk of the convection zone.  Note, that the amplitudes of the normalized differential rotation at the surface and the $W$  at the bottom of the convection zone are numerically rather similar. Even the analytical estimates (\ref{old}) are approximately fulfilled although they are obtained with   a highly simplified linear theory.
 \begin{figure}[hbt]
\begin{center}
\mbox{
\includegraphics[width=4.5cm,height=4.4cm]{f3aa.eps}
\includegraphics[width=4.5cm,height=4.4cm]{f3bb.eps}}
\end{center}
\caption[]{The same as in Fig. \ref{fig1} but  with $H=1$ only  in the bulk of the convection zone ($x_{\rm in}\leq x\leq 0.95$) and $V=-0.1$  for $x>0.95$.}
\label{fig2}
\end{figure}

The rotation law in Fig. \ref{fig1}, however,    fails to deliver the characteristic superrotation of the solar equator at the bottom of the convection zone which has been helioseismologically derived  and which is the source of the `dynamo dilemma' (as it prevents the reproduction of the butterfly  diagram of the  sunspot locations within the solar cycle). It is also known, however,  that the simple model used for  Fig. \ref{fig1} does  not correctly describe the radial profiles of the turbulent $\Lambda$ terms. The linear-in-$\Om$ term $V$ mainly exists in the outer part of the convection zone while the $\Om^3$ term $H$ only exists in the inner part of the convection zone (see \R\ et al. 2013). This has consequences for the outer boundary condition which now tends to produce negative gradients of $\Om$ at all latitudes. The result for a model with  $V=-0.1$ (for $x>0.95$) and with $H=1$  for $x_{\rm in}\leq x\leq 0.95$ is  given in Fig. \ref{fig2}. Indeed, a weak equatorial superrotation is now indicated at the bottom of the convection zone. The latitudinal shear, however, is reduced so that the $W$ after (\ref{Ward})  becomes larger than in Fig. \ref{fig1}. It is again  negative in the surface region where the function $H$ is small or even zero.

The equatorial acceleration is reduced in Fig. \ref{fig2} in comparison to the results of the `uniform' model of  Fig. \ref{fig1}. This is due to the absence of the function $H$ in the outer layers. If the weight of these layers is reduced by a strong negative  density gradient then the surface rotation law recovers and the observed value of the equator-pole difference of $\Om$ appears again (Fig. \ref{fig3}). The used density profile is simply  written as $\rho\propto \exp(-G(x-x_{\rm in}))$ which has been applied in the Reynolds equation (\ref{Rey}) with $G=20$.
\smallskip

All the calculations  lead to the result that
\begin{itemize}
\item  the equatorial acceleration is of the observed amount,
\item  $W<0$ at the surface and  $W>0$ in the bulk of the convection zone,
\item   $W$ is  positive if averaged over the radius.
\end{itemize}

\label{fig3}
\end{figure}

 \section{Two  solar models}\label{Section3}

We have also computed two models for the solar differential rotation with the detailed  physics described  by K\"uker et al.~(2011). One model includes  the full Reynolds stress tensor  while the  other one only works with (\ref{Qphi})  without $\Lambda$ (see Balbus et al. 2012). Both models are able to reproduce the surface rotation law (Fig. \ref{rotlaw}).  A convection zone model computed with the MESA stellar evolution code (Paxton et al. 2011) has been  used as a background model.
The Reynolds stresses were computed with an average rotation period of 27 days and a value of 5/3 for the mixing length parameter. This choice sets the mixing length equal to the density scale height.    The viscosity coefficient $\nu_{\rm T}$ of  the  models is of order $10^{13}$ cm$^2$/s with a maximum
of  $2\cdot 10^{13}$ cm$^2$/s in a depth of $x\simeq 0.8$ .

The model without $\Lambda$ effect results in an internal rotation pattern with disk-shaped iso-contours (at the equator region). The meridional flow is directed towards the equator at the surface and towards the poles at the bottom of the convection zone (`clockwise'). The model which bases on the $\Lambda$ effect provides a meridional circulation cell with the opposite flow direction (`counterclockwise').
\begin{figure}[htb]
\begin{center}
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{full_rot.ps}
\includegraphics[width=6cm]{balb_rot.ps}
\end{center}
\caption{The internal differential  rotation for  the full model with $\Lambda$ effect included (top) and the rotation law driven only by baroclinic flows (bottom). The meridional flow at the surface goes poleward (top) and goes equatorward (bottom). The tachocline in the theoretical models is not modeled.}
\label{rotlaw}
\end{figure}

Figure \ref{full_reynolds}  gives the horizontal Reynolds stress $Q_{\theta \phi}$ averaged over the radius in its dependence on the  latitude. This quantity is antisymmetric  with respect to the equator by definition and thus vanishes at the equator. If the Reynolds stress is purely viscous (dashed line)  $Q_{\theta \phi}$ is negative (positive)   in the northern (southern) hemisphere -- in contrast to the empirical findings  given in Fig. \ref{fig0}. For the model with the full Reynolds stress (solid line)  the horizontal $\Lambda$ effect exceeds the viscous part in the bulk of the convection zone where the total Reynolds stress is positive (negative) in the northern (southern) hemisphere.  As it must, the horizontal stress $Q_{\theta \phi}$ vanishes both on the rotation axis and in the equatorial plane. It reaches its peak value at about $30^\circ$ latitude.  The amplitude of the horizontal cross correlation $Q_{\theta \phi}$ is  of order $10^6$ cm$^2$/s$^2$ which leads to $|W| \simeq 0.14$  well corresponding to the estimate  (\ref{old})$_2$  as from the quasilinear turbulence theory $H\simeq 0.4$ results. The value  in very good  agreement with  the numerical results for the cubic Reynolds equation given in Fig.  \ref{fig3}.

We have  to note that the numerical value of the positive maximum of $10^6$ cm$^2$/s$^2$ exceeds the empirical results by a factor of five which might be a consequence of a too high viscosity value used in the simulations.

\caption{The  Reynolds stress $Q_{\theta \phi}$  from the simulations and averaged over the radius  with $\Lambda$ effect (solid) and without $\Lambda$ effect (dashed). The Reynolds stress vanishes at the equator and changes the sign in the southern hemisphere (see Fig. \ref{fig0}).}
\label{full_reynolds}
\end{figure}
\section{Conclusions}
It is hard to imagine  that the mechanism of the  solar dynamo could  be understood without understanding of the maintenance of the solar rotation law. It is thus of  relevance if one can show that the generation of the differential  rotation of the solar convection zone bases on the existence of nondiffusive $\Lambda$ terms in the Reynolds stress in a similar sense as the solar dynamo may base  on the existence of nondiffusive $\alpha$  terms in the turbulent electromotive force.
We argue that indeed the $\Lambda$ effect in rotating anisotropic turbulence  is {\em necessary} to explain the current observation of positive (negative) horizontal cross correlation  $Q_{\theta \phi}$ at the northern (southern) hemisphere  at the solar surface which Hathaway et al.  indicated  as a result of the proper motions of giant cells.  All analytical and numerical studies lead to positive functions $H$  which in the bulk of the convection zone are able to overcompensate the diffusive term which alone would lead to the opposite signs which are not observed.  The overcompensation, however, is not trivial. It might be  that in the outer supergranulation layer ($0.95\lsim x\lsim 1$)  the equatorial acceleration is too large and/or the $H$ is too small. We have to mention in this respect that the $H$ is a term which is of higher order in the Coriolis number $\Om^*= 2 \tau_{\rm corr}\Om$ so that due to the short lifetimes of the granulation and supergranulation the $H\ll 1$ in the outer part of the convection zone and the turbulent medium behaves diffusive in the horizontal plane. Because of symmetry properties a term linear in $\Om$ does not exist in the horizontal cross-correlation $Q_{\theta\phi}$ -- in opposition to the radial tensor component $Q_{r\phi}$.

We have  demonstrated  also by means of a simplified model which ignores  the meridional flow in the solution of the azimuthal Reynolds equation   that $\cos\theta Q_{\theta \phi}$ --  or which is the same -- the quantity $W$  is indeed negative in the surface layers.  The negative sign, however, only describes a surface effect. In subsurface layers the equator-pole difference of $\Om$ is reduced and the amplitude of the positive $H$ grows. It is thus no surprise that in the deeper layers of the  convection zone the  sign of $W$ becomes  positive. This is a general result which does not depend on details of the eddy viscosity, of the density stratification, and/or influences of the meridional flow. Even our most complex $\Lambda$ effect model which will  reproduce the internal solar  rotation law and also the observed pattern of the meridional flow exactly shows the described behavior. If the equatorial acceleration is {\em not} a consequence of the $\Lambda$ effect but  is due to a meridional flow (which  {\em must}  flow equatorward along the surface) then the function $W$ would be  negative-definite on the northern hemisphere through the entire convection zone .

Military "Battle Buddies" Retired And Reunited With Their Best Friends
After retiring or being restationed, a military dog handler doesn't always know whether or not they will see their working dog again. This can be a difficult adjustment for both the soldier and their dog. They were once constant companions and we are well aware of the incredibly strong bonds humans form with our four legged friends. Often, this is especially true for our soldiers in the military, as they worked side by side with their battle buddies in seriously stressful situations.

This is one of the main reasons that American Humane is committed to reuniting retired military hero dogs with their former handlers. It is extremely beneficial for both of them. Just recently, the organization successfully reunited Army Veteran Michael Stepnovich and U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Wade Alfson, with their four legged best friends. Their emotional interviews and heartwarming photos will surely make you smile.
"When a military dog is medically retired from service, it can be difficult for the military to track down their latest handler for adoption, let alone figure out how to transport the dog home. The expensive process involves a lot of paperwork, headaches, and red tape – and it's usually not a priority," said a representative from American Humane.
Army Specialist Michael Steponovitch recently retired from his military service and is currently living and working in Las Vegas, Nevada. Him and his patrol pal "Popeye" were inseparable for the entire 18 months they served together in South Korea. They even put in 2,000 hours of patrol missions together. But before their reunion, he hadn't seen Popeye for four months.
It was obvious that the seven-year-old German Shepard missed his best friend. After Steponovitch left, Popeye started showing signs of severe separation anxiety, chewing his tail to the point of injury. Popeye was then removed from active duty, retired early, and has now been adopted by his former handler. These photos really say it all.

"He looks amazing. It was a really emotional moment for me. I couldn't stop smiling. It's only been a few months for us, which is lucky, but it feels like it was a very long time. "I was just overwhelmed with joy to see him again."
While Steponovitch and his patrol pal were only separated for a few months, U.S. Air Force Staff Sergeant Wade Alfson and his working dog "Xxanthe" were separated for an entire year after he was reassigned to Hickam Air Force Base in Hawaii. The 10-year-old Belgian Malinois served with SSgt. Alfson for 18 months, including two tours to the Middle East on classified missions. Not only will the lucky pup spend the rest of her life with her best friend, but she now has a furry sibling. She joins a six-year-old Belgian Malinois who failed out of military training for being afraid of loud noises.
"Now that she's retired, I mean, what a place to be retired into! I live two minutes from the beach, so Xxanthe, me, and my other dog will just take trips to the beach, hang out, just vibe in Hawaii."
American Humane worked with Congress to require that military working dogs be brought back to the U.S. upon retirement and that their handlers and their families be given first rights of adoption. After everything these battle buddies have sacrificed for our country, American Humane works to make sure that canine veterans receive the hero's welcome, dignified retirement, and loving forever home they deserve.
"American Humane is thrilled to bring these heroic military dogs home to reunite with their best friends. Xxanthe and Popeye bravely served our country, and we are honored to give them the beautiful retirements they deserve," stated Dr. Robin Ganzert, the CEO of American Humane."

Recently, Anupama Chopra of Film Companion brought together four of the biggest female playback singers in Bollywood for a chat.
Chopra asked them why Arijit Singh has been ruling the airwaves, while there haven't been as many famous female voices.
Just a quick glance at the top 10 Hindi songs at the moment will give you an idea of what she is talking about.
Arijit Singh is literally everywhere, but you wouldn't be blamed if you didn't immediately recognise every singer on Chopra's panel.
Mohan explained that there just haven't been as many opportunities to sing, while the rest backed her up.
They're not wrong, tbh. Here's what the soundtrack of Dangal — a movie about women — looks like.
Bhasin went on to explain that a lot of it has to do with the roles that actresses choose to play as well.
Another note that Gandhi made was that there was no consideration for their vocal range most of the time.
Let's look at a few duets in the last year to verify that claim.
"Zaalima" from Raees has Harshdeep Kaur singing two lines in each stanza at a way lower pitch than Arijit Singh.
Asees Kaur, on the other hand, sang at a higher pitch for her two lines in "Bolna" from Kapoor & Sons.
"Soch Na Sake" from Airlift has Tulsi Kumar, who is popular for her syrupy-sweet voice, singing two lines in each stanza (again).
Bhasin added that the lack of songs for women have resulted in the awards reflecting that reality as well.
These were the nominees for best female playback singer in 2017 Filmfare Awards.
In all these films, these songs (with the exception of Pink and Baar Baar Dekho) were the only female-led songs on the soundtracks.

Audi ready for DTM race at Lausitzring
Tagged Audi, DTM, Edoardo Mortara, Jamie Green, Lausitzring, Mattias Ekström
– High suspense before motorsport festival on June 4 and 5
– Audi driver Mortara in second place of standings, Green record holder
– Ekström previously on podium at Lausitzring an amazing nine times
Four different winners in the first four races: in the DTM, the next two races are coming up on June 4 and 5 – and suspense at the beginning of the season is at an all-time high.
The first four races of the new season saw four different winners. Drivers from all three brands – Paul Di Resta (Mercedes-Benz/43 points), Edoardo Mortara (Audi/40 points) and Timo Glock (BMW/37 points) – are heading the standings, separated by only small gaps. And the field as a whole has moved closer together as well: at Spielberg, all 24 cars were ultimately within just 0.640 seconds of each other in qualifying.
"By now, it's become nearly impossible to make any predictions," says Dieter Gass, Head of DTM at Audi Sport. "An assessment is extremely difficult this year. We've already been seeing a number of surprises in the first two events. We're determined to deliver a similarly strong performance as last year at the Lausitzring. But it would be totally wrong to travel to Lausitz with too much self-confidence."
Last year, Audi had a picture-perfect weekend at the Lausitzring located some 140 kilometers south of Berlin. In race one on Saturday, a one-two-three-four win was achieved and in race two on Sunday, even five Audi RS 5 DTM cars took the top five spots. Mike Rockenfeller in the Schaeffler Audi RS 5 DTM is holding the track record in the race (1m 18.268s) and Jamie Green in the Hoffmann Group Audi RS 5 DTM set the best time ever achieved in the DTM (1m 17.386s).
Green was the "high flyer" at Lausitz last year. The Briton won both races in commanding style and in Sunday's second qualifying session caused a stir with a sensational lap on which he outperformed the second-fastest driver by more than half a second – a world of difference in the DTM.
With a pole position and a third place in race two at Spielberg Green has returned to the group of front runners in the DTM following a difficult start of the season. The same is true for Mattias Ekström (Red Bull Audi RS 5 DTM) who will be in the spotlight at the Lausitzring as well. In 17 events on the East German race track to date, the Swede has managed to score two victories and nine podium finishes – including his first ever DTM podium 16 years ago.

My flight out of Germany was scheduled to be from Düsseldorf and that meant I was looking for a place to stay while in the city. Since there was not much thing that would interest me in the city, I chose to spend more time in Frankfurt before heading to Düsseldorf. As luck would have it, SPG has a Sheraton in town and right in the airport. If there was one thing that Sheratons are good for, it is airport hotels. The Sheraton Gateway in Toronto and Los Angeles are pretty good hotels to stay in a layover so I was keen to try out this one too.
This also meant I could drop off the rental car the night before and head to the hotel to check-in. The hotel also has a great location connected to the main terminal which is via a walkway. Just like the Sheraton in Toronto Pearson. There is also a direct elevator from the car park right to the hotel lobby, and the signs in the parking lot is easy to find.
Arriving at night, the lobby was still quite vibrant as I find the case to be with most airport hotels. Those with that overnight layover do not really have a choice for alternative entertainment do they?
There was the usual German efficiency as in not much pleasantries but direct to the point when checking in. I was given my room key quickly and shown the direction for the room. Fortunately for me, the room assigned for me was quite close to the lobby itself. The layout of the hotel is such that it was an elliptical shape with rooms all around a central courtyard with the lobby and bar/lounge at the centre. Having a room at the end of the ellipse meant a long walk around the perimeter of the hotel. Another tip is to ask for rooms facing the inner courtyard for a quieter atmosphere.
The room I was assigned was probably the one I booked but arriving late and with a late morning flight, that does not matter anyway. The bathroom is on the left of the entrance and it is quite small in size compared to the other Sheratons.
There is a combined bathtub and shower system in the room with the glass partition, so in that sense it made the small bathroom feels less claustrophobic.
The small size of the bathroom extends to a similarly petite sized room. It was definitely not the spacious room and had no room for an extra bed. However the room was nicely appointed and feels more modern than my previous encounter with the Sheraton Offenbach.
As always the 2 single beds here are joined together to form a double bed. This has probably got to do with the space constraint as well.
An interesting feature in the room was the Nespresso machine found on the TV console that also forms the work desk. However while the hotel found the budget to supply the machine, it did not have the dough to supply the correct capsules. Instead there was some third party capsules which does not seem to taste as good as the Nespresso ones.
Other furnishings in the room includes a luggage rack beside the TV console, an armchair and a side table by the window. On the small side table, there was also 2 bottles of water ready for SPG members, which is something I have taken for granted nowadays.
Our room faces the centre courtyard which in my opinion is quieter and has a nice view of the greenery too, making it sort of peaceful in the busy and hectic surroundings of an airport.
For an airport hotel, they are quite well equipped. There is a full restaurant located at the ends of the hotel, which serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. I did not have a meal there as we arrived past dinner time and we had breakfast at the lounge in the airport instead.
Like most Sheratons, there is also a Club lounge which I did not get to access. However there is a neat outdoor patio that guests can use to smoke or just to soak in the night skies.
Another interesting feature I discovered while walking around the hotel was a foosball machine that ought to keep guests entertained since airport hotels can get quite boring at night!
With the rate of EUR160 (~$155) inclusive of taxes, the hotel stay was not particularly cheap and once again proves that airport hotels are quite expensive. However the hotel was really nice being located on-site just a walk away from the main terminal. I was able to just check-out and walk to the terminal for my onward departure the next day. If anyone ever gets trapped in Düsseldorf airport for the night and need a place to crash, they could not have found a better spot than the Sheraton!
Yes, it's not a great price, but savings from the convenience of being able to drop off my car and walking to the terminal made it easier to stomach.

Move over L.A., Miami and Honolulu! Our 10 winners for Best Coastal Small Town – each with a population of fewer than 25,000 people as of the last census – offer uncrowded, unpretentious and affordable seaside fun in small packages that prove bigger isn't always better.
The small community of Georgetown on the Carolina coast is what Charleston used to be – 200-year-old homes (more than Charleston in fact), scenic plantations, lots of Southern charm and none of the crowds. Local restaurants serve up Low Country specialties, and outdoor adventures might include kayaking, fishing or paddleboarding.
Situated on California's central coast between San Francisco and Los Angeles, Pismo Beach offers long white sand beaches, spectacular sunsets and access to numerous area wineries. Visitors can rent rods to fish off the historic pier or grab a wetsuit to try out surfing or body boarding. This classic California beach town feels straight out of the 1950s.
Eastport, the easternmost city in the United States, serves as a coastal gateway to Downeast Maine and Fundy Bay. While rich in natural beauty, this small town also packs a cultural punch thanks to the many artists, filmmakers and writers who call Eastport home.
Vermilion, located on the south shore of Lake Erie, feels more like a New England seaport, complete with a historic lighthouse and rich nautical heritage. Popular in the warm summer months, Vermilion's walkable streets feature small boutique shops, art galleries, ice cream parlors and local restaurants, and summer evenings often involve concerts on the green.
A Victorian gem on the New Jersey seashore, Cape May is one of the oldest resort towns in the country. The entire city is a National Historic District with some 600 preserved 19th century buildings. Colorful gingerbread buildings, excellent birdwatching opportunities and a relaxed vibe make this a favorite escape, even today.
St. Simons Island, the most developed of Georgia's Golden Isles, combines the best of a beach resort and the Old South. Sandy beaches, golf courses, tennis facilities and more than 100 restaurants, many specializing in fresh-caught seafood, are best explored by biking or driving the oak-lined winding roads connecting the island's villages.
The town of Mystic, Connecticut, once a major whaling center and shipbuilding port on the East Coast, holds tight to its seafaring history with attractions like the Mystic Seaport Museum. The excellent Mystic Aquarium caters to families, while the town itself has ample boutiques, galleries and restaurants to help pass the time.
The historic maritime town of Southport has been a pitstop of seafarers – everyone from pirates to fishermen – since the 1500s. Today the historic streets are lined with boutique shops and seafood restaurants where visitors tuck into crab cakes and steamed shrimp on waterfront patios. The town is also the jumping off point for ferry trips to nearby Bald Head Island.
Gateway to the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore, charming Bayfield features hilly streets lined with Victorian-era homes and quaint bed and breakfasts. This historic coastal town on the shores of Lake Superior in far northern Wisconsin is particularly charming come autumn, when the foliage is at peak color and the apple harvest is in full swing.
A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to picked the initial 20 nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote.

Rick Barnes & Olivier Nkamhoua Media Availability Transcript
Tennessee Head Coach Rick Barnes Transcript
On how he would grade his team's shot selection…
"We need to throw in the fact that we turn down shots. In shot selection I would probably rate it a 75 percent, because we want guys to shoot the ball when we are open. That is what we have done all year practicing. When they put it back in the holster and aren't willing to shoot it, that usually leads to something not quite as good. We have showed them that obviously where we turn down really good shots to take a little more difficult shot. We just want our guys to do what we practice and what works. I have seen the open court; you have got to make those layups when you are struggling to make some shots from the perimeter or around the rim. Those shots are tougher than people may think but overall if you ask me to put a number on it, 75 to 80 percent probably."
Vols HC Rick Barnes / Credit: UT Athletics
On what he thought about Ole Miss shooting 50 percent on 3-pointers and what are their rules on helping defense when it comes to the 3-point line…
"It changed during the game, we are a very heavy help team, as you know. We like to make plays in the gaps but Wednesday was the first time all year that we faced someone that got hot. Looking at the percentages coming in, we obviously want to play percentages throughout our scouting report. They got hot and no one has done that this year up to this point, which was a great thing for us. We learned from it, we talked about how we do that and what do you do when a team has two guys. You had Matthew Murrell hitting a couple where normally there is a heavy help line. When you have a guy that's capable of rising up and you have to shave back a little bit. During the game once we said 'OK, now we are going to adjust what we need to do here because you got a guy who is really feeling it,' we did a terrific job of it coming down the stretch. Throughout our entire game with our defensive packages, we got a lot of things we could adjust to but like I said that was the first time all year that we played someone that it looked like the basket was the Atlantic Ocean had opened up for him."
On John Fulkerson not playing during overtime and what he needs to see from him…
"Energy and effort. He has to understand that he is in a league now where coaches have seen him for a long time, and he has to adjust and adapt what we have been telling him for a long time. When he can get the ball and space to work, I believe it creates a problem. Personally, if we were playing against him, let him get down there and get his back to the basket against guys that weight 30 to 40 pounds more. We have told him that, the other night it was strictly based on energy, effort and being productive."
On the offense struggling in games and if it is the same thing that they keep struggling with…
"It is, it all gets back to lack of execution from the start and piling it on top of you to where you are making yourself, not only are you playing against your opponent, but you are playing against yourself. It always gets back to the details, taking care of the details where we should know where our shots are coming from. We should know what to do to get in position and get those shots in a position to go rebound it. If you go back, it is just being inconsistent with the details throughout the game. It should never be like that way at the start, the way we started that game with the three turnovers we had, no way should that happen at this time of year. So, you ask the question. We are locked in defensively, but we must have that same attitude on offense. It is different, you can script some things in terms of when you play against your opponent. The offensive side is totally different, you have to react to them, like the other night changing defenses. If you go back to it, they had a simple game plan. It was not their changing defense; it was you are going to have to get somebody inside to go at us because we are not going to help down here that much and see what can happen. They pretty much stay with their shooters but with all that said in done if we would have moved the ball like we should, we would have had any better looks. We had some looks, but they could have been the kind of looks that we want inside and out."
On LSU as a top defensive opponent…
"Well, they switch almost one through five and are willing to do that. They are very aggressive in terms of attacking the ball. They really go at it like that. They do have the pressure they use, the full-court pressure, two to one it. They can turn it around and match it any way they like to do it. But the key in any game when you are playing against an outstanding defensive team is taking care of the basketball. You have to get attempts. You have to hope you can get yourself to the foul line. You have to make them work and not let them have it knowing they are going to be very aggressive in terms of getting the ball. They are always swiping at it, digging at it, trying to break it away. You have to be strong with the ball."
On impressions of Zakai Zeigler so far describing him as "fearless"…
"He is fearless. It is in his DNA. If I could coach that, believe me it would be the first thing I would coach every player I have ever coached. We knew he was a good player when we were able to get involved with him. Some of the things you do not know is just that. You used the word fearless and that is a great word to use because he is going to go at it. He has a short memory and is extremely competitive. He is hard on himself. He is going to continue to improve in many areas because he is a smart player. With his energy and effort in terms of what he brings, our guys have tremendous faith in him."
On the potential to be the best defensive team at Tennessee…
"I think we have the potential to be the best in a lot of areas. We have to get everyone in the boat at the same time. We have a very unselfish group of players. They like each other and pull for each other but it goes back to improvement. Can we still get better defensively? We can. We have to continue to rebound the ball at a higher clip on both ends. That is really important because rebounding on the offensive end helps your defense. It helps the start of the transition. There are a lot of ways we can get better and we will work to that. Up to this point, these guys are not perfect but they are trying to do what we are asking them to do. It goes back to not everybody fully understanding everything at the level they need to. Honestly, most of the time during games most substitutions occur from the defensive end than the offensive end. We need everyone because every possession matters. We do not just say it, believe it."
On his impressions of LSU …
"You look at them and they will rebound, run, given the opportunity they are going to shoot it. I think they play unselfish together. In addition, I think that Will (Wade) has a team he really likes because they are giving him effort on both ends."
On how Jahmai Mashack being on the scout team has helped him…
"It has helped him a lot. It is teaching him that there is a lot more to the game than just playing. Having to learn multiple sets in a quick turnaround. When we go out with our scout team they come in and have to learn a lot of stuff quickly. I think that any time you can do that it continues to help. It has helped Quentin (Diboundje) and will help Jonas (Aidoo) in the long run. When he goes out and goes into the game, we expect him to bring the energy that we know he is capable of. He is a guy that can block out and rebound. He can score the ball but he needs to get settled in on the offensive end. Defensively, he did a great job the other night when we were down and floundering. We put him in the game and told him he had to change the rhythm of the game with your offensive rebounding. He then went out and got three of them real quick."
On what he can take from the two overtime games that Tennessee has played this year…
"Bad shooting nights happen with everybody. At the highest level, when Mike D'Antoni was with Houston, they went something like 0-for-28 one night. After the game, he walked into the locker room and said 'Guys, tomorrow they'll go in.' You can't coach making shots but what you can coach is guys taking rhythm shots and shots they practice. The takeaway from it is what we have told our guys day one; if you play defense and rebound at the level we're capable of, we'll always have a chance even when you can't make a shot. It happens some nights with every team, but you find a way to work through it. The difference between the Texas Tech and the Ole Miss game was the reaction of our players. You could look into the eyes of Santi (Vescovi), Zakai (Zeigler) and Olivier (Nkamhoua). The way Olivier was talking in the huddle and those guys had the thought of we're not going to lose this game. They said we're going to find a way; it might not be pretty but we're going to get it done. That was the difference because, in the game against Tech, we just felt like who was going to make a play, who was going to do it. Santi's play at half-court was huge when he hit that three. There were so many things there, but it was the defense on the other end where we were able to shut down some guys that were making some threes for them. We knew they were going to be in long possessions; when you're playing against a team that is going to use the whole shot clock the whole time, when you're down six it feels like 12. I told our staff that maybe Kermit (Davis) was happy with those shot clock violations even though you know he wasn't, but they took two minutes off the game because I think we forced four of them. That is what postseason play is about because you're going to have to play against different teams and different styles. For the most part, I thought our guys stayed locked in defensively the other night."
On last year having great defense and an average offense…
"Well, if you get right down to it, you have two freshman guards going through things they haven't gone through before at a very high level. You have Olivier being in a role he hasn't been in before but the way he responded the other night keeps happening because he was locked in on both sides of the court. Josiah and Santi have been there before but the other three who were on the court at the end of the game were a new experience for them. It's going to be a year where every game is going to be a learning experience for the two freshman point guards. What we need is guys coming off the bench, capable of making shots, playing defense, and being reliable. We want guys to keep climbing up the rope because I know that everybody on our bench at some point can come in and help us win games."
Junior Forward Olivier Nkamhoua Quotables
On his reaction to Rick Barnes saying that against Ole Miss he talked on the floor more than ever…
"I would agree. I think early on in the game, my voice was louder and more into the game, and then later, it started showing that I had been talking the whole game and it just seemed natural. I just feel like I need to keep improving on my game and adding parts to my game and I think being more vocal is a big part that I need to bring."
On if sometimes offensive struggles can be mental…
"I think 100 percent, offense can be mental and even luck. A lot of things can come down to luck, and that's why we pride ourselves in defense because on offense, a lot can be affected by luck or other factors. Missing shots can easily get into anyone's head and it's not always easy to get out of that slump, but that's why we are the type of team that we are, where we grind it out on defense and then all we go out there on offense with no pressure, because when we come down on the other end, we can get it back."
On if he feels like it's important for him to be a consistent scorer to complement John Fulkerson…
"I think it's important for our opponents to have a good post presence between me and Fulky, and between Uros and Brandon as well, I feel like it's important that the team has confidence in that inside scoring."

Mail. Setting up IMAP is necessary when adding a Yahoo e-mail account to a third party client, such as Outlook. Also, mobile devices will need to use this process in order to access e-mail without logging in via a mobile browser. Step # 1 -- Choosing a Third Party Client For this tutorial, you'll need some form of a third party e-mail client. The most popular would be Microsoft Outlook, which I'll be using in this tutorial. Another option would be Outlook Express, or Pegasus Mail which are both free. If you're using this for a mobile device, it should have an e-mail client built in. Step # 2 -- Getting to the E-mail settings In Outlook, go to "File", then "Account Settings", and then click "Account Settings" again in the options that appear. Now click "New" and then "Next", then select "Manually configure server settings or additional server types" and click "Next". Select "Internet E-mail" and click "Next". Step # 3 -- Inputting User Information Now, enter your Name and your Yahoo E-mail address, make sure you don't just put the username, but include @yahoo.com at the end. Step # 4 -- Inputting Server Information Under "Account Type" select "IMAP". For "Incoming mail server" put "imap.mail.yahoo.com", and under "Outgoing mail server" put "smtp.mail.yahoo.com". Step # 5 -- Inputting Logon Information Under "User Name" put your full e-mail address, again make sure you put the username and include @yahoo.com at the end of it. For "Password", type in the password you use to login to your Yahoo account. Step # 6 -- Inputting Port Information Now click "More Settings" and go to the "Advanced" tab. For "Incoming Server", first choose "SSL" for the encrypted connection type, and then enter "993". For "Outgoing Server", choose "SSL" again, and then enter "465". Go to the "Outgoing Server" tab and check the box at the top, click "OK" to apply these changes. Step # 7 -- Finishing the process Finally, click "Next" and the Outlook client will test the settings. If everything was entered correct it should say "Congratulations" and you can click "Finish". Restart Outlook for these changes to take full effect. You now know How to setup IMAP for Yahoo! Mail.

Wall Street slides on Fed tightening, government shutdown threat
By April Joyner NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks tumbled on Thursday as the Federal Reserve's plan to continue its balance-sheet reduction and the threat of a partial government shutdown fuelled investor anxieties. At its session low, the Nasdaq had fallen 2.85 percent, pushing the tech-heavy index more than 20 percent below its Aug.
By April Joyner
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. stocks tumbled on Thursday as the Federal Reserve's plan to continue its balance-sheet reduction and the threat of a partial government shutdown fuelled investor anxieties.
At its session low, the Nasdaq had fallen 2.85 percent, pushing the tech-heavy index more than 20 percent below its Aug. 29 closing high. However, the index, along with the Dow and the benchmark S&P 500, pared losses as the session continued.
The Fed's move on Wednesday to largely adhere to its plan for more rate hikes over the next two years and keep its balance sheet-reduction plan on "autopilot" spooked investors already worried about slowing economic growth.
"Quantitative tightening is going quicker than expected," said Joe Saluzzi, co-manager of trading at Themis Trading in Chatham, New Jersey. "U.S. stocks are repricing."
Adding to the gloom was the possibility of a partial U.S. government shutdown on Friday. President Donald Trump told Republican congressional leaders he will not sign a government funding bill because it fails to include enough funding for border security.
"For 2019, I suspected there was going to be antagonism between the House (of Representatives) and the White House," said Brian Battle, director of trading at Performance Trust Capital Partners in Chicago. "This is only a partial government shutdown, but if (Trump) is going to be obstinate, that's not a good sign for next year."
The Dow Jones Industrial Average <.DJI> fell 364.16 points, or 1.56 percent, to 22,959.5, the S&P 500 <.SPX> lost 29.58 points, or 1.18 percent, to 2,477.38 and the Nasdaq Composite <.IXIC> dropped 85.65 points, or 1.29 percent, to 6,551.18.
All of the S&P's 11 major sectors fell, with technology <.SPLRCT> and consumer discretionary <.SPLRCD> stocks - among the top contributors to Wall Street's gains in the past few years - registering some of the biggest declines. Energy stocks <.SPNY> also slid as oil prices dropped to their lowest levels in a year.
Gloomy corporate results and forecasts also weighed on U.S. stocks.
Shares of Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc dropped 4.6 percent on the drugstore chain's weak retail sales, while shares of Conagra Brands Inc slid 16.4 percent after the packaged foods maker gave an underwhelming profit forecast for 2019.
Also declining as a result of disappointing corporate earnings forecasts were shares of Accenture Plc and Carnival Corp , which fell 5.0 percent and 9.4 percent, respectively.
Nike Inc shares dropped 1.7 percent ahead of the athletic footwear company's quarterly results, expected after Thursday's market close.
Declining issues outnumbered advancing ones on the NYSE by a 3.63-to-1 ratio; on Nasdaq, a 3.35-to-1 ratio favoured decliners.
The S&P 500 posted no new 52-week highs and 175 new lows; the Nasdaq Composite recorded three new highs and 805 new lows.

Chisinau Mayoral Election – A Race to Nowhere

National local elections are less than a month away. Yet, if not for the numerous campaign posters, very few would probably notice. This is not to say that there is no campaign, rather that several other developments have hijacked the public debate. The Gaburici Cabinet attracts the most media attention as it meddles through the first 100 days in office amid speculations that the new prime minister forged his way into college, lacking a valid high school diploma. On the more substantial front, the new Cabinet is struggling to put down the fire sparked by the billion dollar bank heist. Yet, the more the government pretends to be doing, the less credibility it has. It is one of those odd situations, when everyone knows what needs to be done, but no one dares to actually lift a finger. Cynics have ruled that indeed it is hard to imagine a more succinct anecdote of Moldova's irrelevance and ineptitude, but who can really dispute that. The frustration brought several thousand people into the main square demanding answers, butt o no avail. To add insult to injury, a parliamentary inquiry and a private financial investigation report pointed fingers at a well-connected local businessman – Ilan Shor, who is now under house arrest after being a mere witness in the case. In a defiant and preposterous move, a pro-Russian party nominated Shor to run for mayor of the sixth largest town in Moldova, not counting Transnitria, all while the candidate is under home arrest. These and other developments make this election a joke.
Mayoral elections in Chisinau are not very inspiring either. There are 17 candidates in then run for the most powerful directly elected position in the country. One could argue that a Chisinau mayor has more popular legitimacy than the president, who is elected following backdoor horse-trading in parliament. With less than 2% of the country's territory, Chisinau has over a fifth of all voters, almost half of the country's GDP and over 60% of total contributions to the national budget. Politically, Chisinau mayor is also bolstered by the fact that the capital has the most informed and engaged citizens. It should come as no surprise that Chisinau is somewhat more progressive than the rest of the country. It may be one of the reasons why voters in the capital tend to elect mayors form the opposition, sending a warning message to the ruling parties. Hence, economic and political discrepancy between the capital and much of the country has been growing.
This election will only strengthen the trend, as five out of six candidates who have some chances of winning are from the opposition, if you count the communists as opposition (sic). The sixth – former mayor and PLDM nominee, Serafim Urechean, is fighting internal sabotage as many PLDM members are not happy with his nomination, since he is not even a member of the party. The two main contenders are incumbent mayor Dorin Chirtoaca and Socialist nominee (not member of the party), former Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, Zinaida Grecianii. She actually won the Chisinau mayoral race in the first round back in the summer of 2005, but those elections were invalidated due to low turnout. Chirtoaca cut his political teeth in that race, coming in third with just over 7%. Repeated elections, which Grecianii carried with 88% of the vote, had an even lower turnout as many candidates, including Chirtoaca, staged a boycott. Communists outdid themselves this time, nominating business tycoon Vasili Chirtoca (notice last name similarity with incumbent mayor Chirtoaca). As communists suffered important losses to a clone party in the parliamentary elections, employing a 'clone' of their own seems petty, but it may also be a genuine coincidence, though unlikely. Ilian Casu is a newcomer to national political stage, propelled by the Renato Usatii phenomenon. Usatii and his team are running a guerrilla campaign as they can be expelled from the race as was the case in the parliamentary elections, though it is less likely to happen again. They are less of a threat now. Still, if successful in his bid for mayor of the second largest city – Balti, Usatii would gain a major regional platform, which he can use as a springboard to national politics. Ironically, the only more or less inspirational candidate happens to be a 67 year old veteran politician and think tanker, who still enjoys skydiving as a hobby. Too bad Oazu Nantoi cannot parachute himself into office, democracy obliges…
The main reason is that, local elections have always been considered second-order elections, largely because, in the absence or real local autonomy and fiscal decentralization, locally elected officials are largely powerless and can do very little to better the lives of their constituents. All of the 898 mayors, 1,120 regional council and 10,630 local council members in Moldova elected in the previous election have very little say about what matters – money. It is up to the ruling party bosses in Chisinau to decide who gets what, when and how much. Hopefully, the law on fiscal decentralization that should enter into force this year will shift the power back where it belongs – at the grass-roots. Finally, Moldova would benefit a lot from going the extra mile and implementing the council-manager form of local movement, where the council hires a city manager, who becomes a chief administrative officer of the city, while the mayor chairs the council meetings and, otherwise, plays a largely ceremonial role. Why would voters have to bother if a mayoral candidate is pro-Romanian or pro-Russian, particularly when he or she has no power to take the country or even the town into either direction? Would not a professionally trained public manager serve the community better? Well, let us first see how fiscal decentralization plays out. One reform at a time.
PS: Here is a fun project put together by local media and IT wizards. It allows voters from four largest cities to match their own local public policy preferences with answer provided by candidates, thus seeing which candidate best fits a voter's policy preferences. Sadly, most front-runners backed down in a clear display of cowardice and lack of appreciation for such innovative tools. Though, funded by European Endowment for Democracy, there is no English version, so enjoy Romanian and Russian versions.

Page 7. Rosenbach #1. Size: 8 x 5.
 "Count Dracula" is underlined in the top left-hand corner of the page, while "Dracula" is scribbled on both sides of the heading. Stoker may have been savoring the sound of this word as a possible name for his anti-hero.
 "Historiae Personae" is Latin for "The Characters of the Story." This list, which expands and names many of the characters on page 1, was created in two or more stages.
 This is the first appearance of the name "Westenra." In contrast to the novel, Lucy is engaged to John Seward.
 The name "Renfield" does not appear in the Notes. In The Undead, John McLaughlin informs us that, in the typescript, "the name of Renfield, the Count's lunatic messenger, has been typed only in the latter portions of the novel. Prior to those appearances he is referred to variously as The Flyman, Renfold or as simply a blank space reserved for the later insertion of the name" (n.p.).
 Frayling transcribes this name as "William Abbott" (307).
 Hawkins, like Harker, resides in Exeter.
 Kate Reed will rise from the grave of literary obscurity to become an ongoing character in Kim Newman's Anno Dracula series.
 Stoker began to use "Dracula" during or shortly after the summer of 1890.
 Both the deaf mute woman and the silent man are Dracula's servants.
 The "inventor" will become "Brutus M. Marix." As David J. Skal points out, the author's "working imagination seem[s] to spontaneously clone, merge and shuffle fictional identities, as if testing the possibilities" (22).
 In 1985, Clive Leatherdale interpreted this name as "Moris" (Novel & Legend 235 n.31); five years later, Skal transcribed it as "Marix" (10).
 The preceding list contained nineteen characters but six of them were crossed out, leaving thirteen.
 "Mem" and the contents of the memo are added in pencil. In the novel, there is no such room in any of the Count's houses.

Iford Arts: Partenope
Handel: Partenope
Contraband, Christopher Bucknall
Iford Arts, 23 June 2018
Since 1995, Iford Arts have been promoting the summer opera season in the magnificent Peto Gardens of Iford Manor, just south of Bradford-upon-Avon. The manor was the home of the Edwardian architect and landscape designer Harold Peto from 1899 until his death in 1933. Peto created the Italianate gardens that clamber up the hillside above the classically-fronted mediaeval Iford Manor, with terraces littered with architectural bits and bobs, including a recreation of an Italianate cloister. The cloister is turned into an intimate opera venue, with the hillside gardens providing a spectacular setting for pre-opera picnics and mid-opera biscuits. Sadly, this year is the last year that Iford Manor will be hosting Iford Arts and Opera at Iford, and the search is on for a new venue for them to continue to build their impressive Young Arts and Education Outreach programmes and to continue providing high standard opera in the Bath hinterlands. This year they presented three operas, Candide, Madam Butterfly, and Handel's Partenope, alongside other events.
Handel's Partenope is an entertaining venture into cross-dressing, sexual and political intrigue, disguise, and, in the original 1730 production, some impressive special effects, including a battle that employed a stage army. The story is a slight, but attractive one, with scope for drama, betrayal, humour and sexual goings-on. Partenope is Queen of Naples. She has three princely admirers: Arsace, Armindo, Eurimene (a newcomer), and later, Emilio, heading an invading army, bent on a marriage alliance or war. Soon after the opera opens, Partenope's favourite, Arsace, notices the striking similarity between the curious 'Armenian' Prince Eurimene to his former lover, Rosmira, not realising that it is indeed her, but disguised as a man. As a man, Eurimene becomes a rival for the Queen's affections whilst, as a woman and ultimately only recognisable to Arsace, she proceeds to mock and goad Arsace to the extent that the Queen demands that they fight a duel. Arsace, wanting to reveal Eurimene's true identity, demands that they should both fight topless. Unfortunately for any pervs in the audience, Eurimene gives in at this point and reveals herself as Rosmira. It was first performed in February 1730, in the King's Theatre.
Opera at Iford is a challenge for directors, conductor, instrumentalists, and singers. It is a tiny space, with a (usually covered) fountain in the middle, and surrounded on all four sides by the audience, many within touching distance. Years of being pressured into projecting your voice to the back row of an opera house come to nothing here, but character portrayal, acting ability, and vocal sensitivity are paramount. To varying degrees, these aspects were demonstrated brilliantly in this production, directed by Christopher Cowell to designs by Holly Pigott, with Christopher Bucknall conducting the period instrument orchestra Contraband, led by Kinga Ujszászi.
The role of Partenope was sung by Russian soprano Galina Averina, clad in an extraordinary array of costumes in her portrayal of the flighty temptress who plays games with her suitors. Excellently acted, my only quibble was her persistent and uncontrolled vibrato, pulsing at about semiquaver speed, that affected vocal runs and what would otherwise have been some very good ornaments. I particularly liked the rich mezzo voice of Glaswegian Beth Margaret Taylor, singing the role of Rosmira/Eurimene. Although not without vibrato, she was able to control it when needed, and her acting was one of the highlights of the production.
More vibrato came from countertenors Alexander Simpson and Jorge Navarro Colorado as Arsace and Armindo. I was a bit puzzled about the casting of these two roles. Arsace, Partenope's current favourite, is supposed to be the brash and confident one, with Armindo as shy and retiring, although physically and vocally, it seemed to be the other way round. Their acting made it obvious who was who, but it didn't help to clad the slender Arsace in the sort of theatrically flamboyant shirt that made his comment about what a nice young man Eurimene was all too telling. But that wasn't the direction the plot was heading in, as he eventually realises that Eurimene is actually Rosmira. Jorge Navarro Colorado acted the role of the diffident Emilio very well. Tom Scott-Cowell was an imposing Armindo, particularly fearsome in the battle scene. Brendan Collins sang small role of Ormonte, Partenope's aide, his sonorous bass voice adding some vocal heft.
Despite my concerns about vibrato, the singing was strong and technically well done. Casts in these Iford operas are generally youngish and, having been unfortunately encouraged during their conservatory years to force the operatic voices, have not had the time or experience to learn how to control their voices in a way that is more suitable for early music singing.
The space for the orchestra is very limited, so considerably kudos must go to the instrumentalists and to conductor/harpsichord continuo Christopher Bucknall for keeping things together. Although slightly reduced from the original instrumental specification, this was a sizeable orchestra, playing in less than ideal conditions.

Pemberton is a hugely popular wedding venue in Christchurch. The album featured here shows that you really don't need amazing scenery to get great wedding photography. Sene and Kreskin just wanted to capture the day as it was, and that's what the album design represents, a beautiful day filled with love, family, friends, and fun. The Tongan dancing at reception was a visual feast and it was a privilege to capture and I'm delighted that Sene and Kreskin have this record of it for all time in their Queensberry wedding album.

"Walk" is a gem and is some of the most original material I have had the privilege to review so far this year... ...it was music of this caliber that got me into the Americana scene in the first place. ...These guys are from New York, but we're not going to hold that against them.
-Texas Star Tribune
One lovely song after another, gorgeous singing and a deliciously underproduced sound.
-Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Wonderful new record! ...guitar playing is superb and the voices blend really beautifully.
-Don Was (Grammy-Winning Producer)
"Walk" promises a lot and delivers on every count... ...Red Rooster is incredibly tight as a band, and "Walk" is a playground where they show off their best work. Don't be surprised if Walk shows up on a host of end-of-year "Best" lists.
-Wildy's World
New York-based Red Rooster is the folk collective led by dynamic duo Jay Erickson (lead vocals) and Nat Zilkha (lead guitar) - lifelong friends who fashion plainly honest and self-reflective songs from fragments of their diverse musical influences and sensibilities. On their third release, WALK, Jay and Nat pull together a seamless album fashioned from country, bluegrass, folk, gospel, blues and hip-hop.
A lot has happened in the years since their critically acclaimed second album, DOSE, was released and it shows in their new tunes. After a successful tour in 2008 (including a breakout appearance at the Newport Folk Festival), the band went to work on WALK. Musically and lyrically their most mature work yet, the album is infused with Red Rooster's signature musical tension between the traditional and the modern. On WALK, Nat and Jay expose deeply personal meditations on a few of life's big defining and transitional events like the birth of a child (Five Tiny Fingers), following and losing the one great love (Time to Go) and failed relationships (Raining in Los Angeles).
Jay and Nat pulled Red Rooster together in New York city 10 years ago and have brought a wide array of musicians in to help create their urban country orchestra including electric guitars, drums, horns, fiddle, mandolin, banjo and DJs. The core group currently includes Susannah Hornsby (vocals and accordion), Andrew Green (banjo), Dave Gould (saxophone), Brandon Doyle (french horn), Lucas Ives (drums), Daniel Engelman (bass) and Pete Nilsson (keys).
