I was brought up to be a gentleman. That means you know how to walk, talk and dress the part.
I just want people to take a step back, take a deep breath and actually look at something with a different perspective. But most people will never do that. ---->>>
Jazz is all about improvisation and it's about the moment in time, doing it this way now, and you'll never do it this way twice. I've studied the masters. Why would I want to play ball after the guys who sit on a bench? I want to play like Michael Jordan. ---->>>
It's just exciting to be part of something that is brand-new. ---->>>
Every little kid that steps on the court or the field has aspirations to go pro. I think being a pro basketball player is the best job. The thing I had to realize was that I can't do every dream that I have. ---->>>
I am just like all the jerks and idiots you know. I am just a guy that watches sports all day. ---->>>
People don't like when you point out to them and remind them that they're not very smart. ---->>>
Whenever I fill out the job description I put 'songwriter', never 'singer' or 'artist.' Singers come and go. ---->>>
A lot of musicians put diamonds on things to show they had money. I on the other had felt that Daytona showed I had style and I didn't need to be flashy. ---->>>
I kind of hate the fact that people are always trying to put you into a category. I hate walls, and I hate boundaries. I don't like that. I listen to everything. ---->>>
I think I'd have to say my favorite IWC. They have been around for so long and the craftsmanship is top notch. A watch maker that has been in business over 100 years has to know what they are doing. ---->>>
There's only one thing that everyone in this world has in common: whether you want to love somebody and you want to be loved in return. ---->>>
A fine timepiece is part of dressing like a gentleman. When I first made a little money, I bought my first watch which was a Rolex Daytona. It was just one of those things that said I was successful. ---->>>
He knows I rip him off every day. He's the godfather for me. Nobody can say they aren't influenced by what Stevie Wonder has done. ---->>>
Lionel Richie told me forget about the critics. But if you come back with hit after hit, you don't have to worry about anything. ---->>>
When it's your chance to step up to the plate, just hit it out of the park, and everybody will forget about everything that came before. ---->>>
I do not wear my emotions on my sleeve; I write about them. ---->>>
I'm probably the furthest from being romantic that you've ever seen; I'm not even close to being romantic in any way until I have to be. ---->>>
The guy comes up to the plate, there's always a chance where he can get a grand slam and everybody forgets about all the times he missed. ---->>>
I'm not like a legend that - so I'm sort of in the middle in this sort of gray area where, you know, I'm creating music, and I'm not saying there isn't an audience, because there is; because all of those people go out and spend $80 to $150 on a concert ticket. ---->>>
I keep these songs in my head until I get behind the microphone. I never spend more than 30 or 40 minutes singing the vocal or it will sound mechanical. There are always mistakes, but it's about feeling more than being perfect. ---->>>
I write about moments, and I don't make blanket statements about anything because no one has all the answers; nobody's come up with a foolproof way to do anything when it comes to emotions. ---->>>
When the label came to me to say, 'would you like to do another record,' I said, 'Well I got these sixteen songs sitting here, so let's do it.' And that was pretty much it... I never stopped writing, it's just the way that the business is now; you just try to find a different model. ---->>>
I'm the fifth generation of Seventh Day Adventists and the youngest of four brothers. When I was still very small, we formed a gospel quartet. ---->>>
It is great to have your own label; you can cultivate your own artists... I've worked with pretty much everyone I wanted to. ---->>>
Every song that I've done is me in one way or another. ---->>>
I am just a guy that watches sports all day. ---->>>
I decided I am not going to say things I do not mean anymore. ---->>>
I don't care how small the game. I want to win. ---->>>
I'll always write music. Whether I release a record, whether I let the public hear it or not, I'm always writing music. ---->>>
Know the business; you need to know the business side of things. ---->>>
I am a writer - that is what I am before being a performer or musician. I love waking up in the morning and then going to sleep that night with something that did not exist. ---->>>
I am at my core a singer/songwriter a la James Taylor or a la Billy Joel. It's not that I don't want to work with people, but I do just love doing my own thing. ---->>>
I kinda went back to that period between '88 and '94 where I felt like I was the most creative, without being hindered by powers that be. I was no longer going to try to hinder myself to what I thought was going to be on the radio. ---->>>
I listen to all kinds of songs. There's something to be learned from every type of music and from the one making it, whether it's pop or jazz or hip-hop. ---->>>
I think they can co-exist. You don't have to put one down for another. I've been bitten by the acting bug, and where it takes me, it won't take away from the music. ---->>>
You can't listen to what people who aren't musical have to say. When Anytime was released, I had bad reviews, and at first I was hurt. Your songs are like your children. You don't want to hear, 'Your kid is ugly.' But I knew the record was good and it would sell. ---->>>
I was probably six years old when I first sang before an audience. ---->>>
People now have been conditioned to believe they should only buy one song at a time, that nobody can make an entire record that would merit you paying, you know, $7, $8, $10 when CDs in the '90s were $18, $19 and people bought millions and millions and millions of them. ---->>>
Stevie didn't use the technology to drive the song. He used it to enhance. I use the tools to further my work, I don't use my work to further the tools. ---->>>
I was a nerd academically. But I was also an athlete and a musician. I never wanted to be shut out of any situation. I think it was that more than anything. ---->>>
I watch my contemporaries, and they love to live in the studio and I don't. I have a life. I treat it as a 9-to-5. I try to create something new every day, and then I get on with my life. ---->>>
I went back and listened to the first three albums I made and tried to figure out what was special about them, why people keep going back to them. I think it was because I didn't know what I was doing. I had no idea if they were going to play it on the radio or anything. All I did was write songs, so that's what I got back to. ---->>>
I'm not thinking about what needs to be on the radio. I'm not thinking about anything other than - I'm just going to let this music come out of me and not have any sort of preconceived notion of what I should do. I'm just going to do it. ---->>>
Most of the stuff I learned to play, I learned in high school. I had a band in high school, a jazz-fusion thing, and I was the keyboard player. I was interested in how the instruments worked and the theory behind playing with them. ---->>>

I know when I was younger I was a dancer. You name a type of dance: tap, jazz, ballet, modern, contemporary, ballroom, I've done them all. Around the time I was a teenager, I knew that I did not have a body that you typically saw back then in the dance world, even though now there have been some changes. I knew it would not be a profession for me but I kept at it anyway. It made me happy. When my children came along, I stopped dancing, except for our home dance parties we had several times a week. So many times over the years since, I have remarked how I miss having the kind of creative energy in my life that dance brought. I had so many excuses for not dancing. I'm too old. I will never do it professionally. My children are the ones that get to take classes now. My turn is over.
For a while now, I have had a budding theory about why so many young adults return home after college (more than can be accounted for by the downturn in the economy). One theory I have is that they do not look forward to growing up because it just doesn't look like it's any fun! What do adults do? We work. Many adults walk around groggy, tired, resentful, sarcastic, and annoyed much of the time. Let's work on bringing some of the fun back into adulthood.
I recently started dancing again. I'm the oldest in the class (including the teacher). I am sure no one has muscles that feel more sore than mine the next day. I will still never do it as a profession. But still, I have no idea why I stayed away so long. I love it. It connects me to my soul.
When you are thinking of what to do, think of what it will mean for your children to see you enjoying your life and giving yourself freedom to be healthy and creative. Think beyond the irritation or crying they may do about you going out for a bit to enjoy yourself and look at the larger picture of creating a model for them of an adulthood that includes joy and enthusiasm for life.
I find joy in life and take part in activities that feed my spirit.
So, please share with me, what is it that you plan to do? If it feels difficult to reach, just think of what you would like to do and feel free to share that. I would love to help you problem solve ways to reincorporate joy into your life.

Two Children Tell: Nick And Humour 'That's a funny one'
Virginia Lowe [1]
Nick and humour
In the latest of her series describing children's early responses to stories and language, Virginia Lowe discusses what made her children laugh.
In studying my two children's responses to their books, I discovered that a humour response is hard to catch. When you are reading aloud to the child, smiles and grins are often missed. You only catch and note the audible laugh or comment. Often it is what the children themselves do with the book – how they play with it.
Mislabelling of all types was one of baby Nicholas' major ways to amuse others, beginning at one year, one month (1y1m) with Lucy and Tom's Day (Shirley Hughes) where he named everything his big sister pointed to as 'bus'. In Fish is Fish (Leo Lionni) which is ambiguous anyway (with odd fish-like creatures from the fish-protagonist's imagination), he labelled each page's fishy-creature 'bish', but then 'bish'-ed while pointing to the endpapers as well, which are quite blank (1y6m). He was still doing this a year later, when he named all the animals in Robert Broomfield's Baby Animal ABC as 'horsie'.
Sometimes he led the reader to do the mislabelling. In Miffy's Birthday (Dick Bruna) he had labelled Miffy's teddy 'Milkshake' at 2y3m, so his father continued with this substitution for the rest of the story.
Mislabelling makes a much more amusing joke if it goes against the imperative of rhyme as well. Gay's Look is written in basic doggerel, which we were accustomed to read with a pause for Nicholas to fill in the relevant rhyme. It begins:
Here's a shy kitten
Soft and sweet
And here's a white lamb with
Four little black -
'wheels!' Nick supplied on one occasion (2y3m).
Rhymes themselves can play an important part in humour. Nick laughed every time we read Millions of Cats (Wanda Gag) at the rhyme which is interspersed, and similarly with the 'Plinkety plunk' rhyme in Russell Hoban's A Baby Sister for Frances. Poems often have words whose sound amuses. Nick always laughed at the poem 'Big Brass Band' especially the lines 'ten tom-toms, tympani too' at 1y1m.
As Beverly Cleary says (Horn Book, 1982) 'There is always a laugh in the utterly familiar'. And indeed when he was first given a boiled egg to eat, as in Lucy and Tom's Day, he was amused, or when the familiar 'Baa Baa Black Sheep' was begun in a new and unfamiliar nursery rhyme book. It is often the familiar in an incongruous setting. To his knowledge, only children wore socks, so 'One of the sergeants looks after their socks' was hilarious in Milne's 'Buckingham Palace' at 1y10m (When We were Very Young). Reading The Boy with 100 Cars, J: who else takes cars to bed? N: Me!
In Emma Quite Contrary (Gunilla Wolde) Emma's antics with her jeans on her head, or calling for another glass of water from bed, brought recognition and complicit laughs from both children at 2y3m and 5y6m. The subversive was also an element in their sharing of the Asterix word games (subversive because we adults didn't enjoy reading the comic-style dialogue, so they were basically shared with each other – Nick, between 5y10m and 11y, and Rebecca three years older).
To a child, the experience of misusing, or misunderstanding a word, must be common, so to be able to understand something when a character cannot is satisfying, empowering, and amusing. Piglet's 'Help help! a Horrible Heffalump!... Hoff, Hoff…' is funny for its sound, and for Piglet's anxiety, as much as for its mispronunciation, and amused both consistently once this chapter of Milne's Winnie-the-Pooh was familiar (about 3y0m for each).
By far the most frequent source of humour in illustrations, at all ages, was the character who had to be searched for and found. This could take the form of one partially hidden under or in something, such as Peter under the carton in Jack Ezra Keat's Whistle for Willie (1y5m), Micky in the bread dough in Sendak's In the Night Kitchen 2y1m and 2y11m or the kittens located by their tails in Potter's Samuel Whiskers (2y3m).
The book that caused the most laughter over all was Wacky Wednesday (Dr Seuss) referred to as 'my funny book' by Nick at 2y5m. In this more and more 'wacky' things must be discovered on each page, and many of them were seen as wildly funny: the man driving his car from the back seat, for instance. The 'wacky' things are incongruous, hence funny, for a variety of reasons relating to social or physical reality. Some are impossible, whereas some are only impossible because we know how things should be, such as the pram with twenty babies in. This was always the first book they brought out to amuse visiting children, because they had fun spotting more and more whacky things together. It was shared hilarity.

Q: Proof of an equivalence with respect to self-adjoint operators I am trying to solve this problem but I fail in the converse part...

Show  that  the  product of two  self-adjoint operators is  self-adjoint if and  only
  if the  two  operators  commute.

($\Rightarrow$) If we suppose that $T,U,V$ are self-adjoint operators such that $T=UV$ and $U^*=U,V^*=V,T^*=T$ we have by Theorem that:
$$(UV)^*=V^*U^*=VU$$
but we know, by hypothesis, that: $$(UV)^*=T^*=T=UV$$.We already know that the adjoint operator is unique, so we hav that $UV=VU$ and we are done with this part.
So my troubles are this the converse, can anyone help please.

A: Assume $UV = VU$, and $U,V$ are self-adjoint.
$$(UV)^*=V^* U^* = V U = UV \implies (UV)^* = UV$$
i.e, $UV$ is self adjoint. Hopefully that helps.

A: The statement of the theorem could be drastically improved. It should read:

Let $U$ and $V$ be self-adjoint operators.
Theorem. The product $UV$ is self-adjoint if and only if $UV = VU$.

Proof. ($\impliedby$) Suppose that $U$ and $V$ commute. We aim to show that $(UV)^* = UV$. The defining characteristic of the adjoint is the following equation:
$$
\langle UV x,y\rangle = \langle x,(UV)^*y\rangle,\qquad\text{for all $x,y$.}
$$
By our assumption that $U$ and $V$ commute, we have
\begin{align*}
\langle UV x,y\rangle &= \langle VU x,y\rangle \\
&= \langle U x, V^*y\rangle \\
&= \langle x,U^*V^*y\rangle,
\end{align*}
where we have applied the defining characteristic of the adjoint twice. Using the fact that $U$ and $V$ are self-adjoint, so that $U^* = U$ and $V^* = V$, we deduce
$$
\langle UVx,y\rangle = \langle x,UVy\rangle,\qquad \text{for all $x,y$.}
$$
By uniqueness of the adjoint, $UV = (UV)^*$.$\qquad\square$

A: Suppose $UV=VU$. Then, for any $x,y$ in the given space
$$ 0=\langle UVx,y\rangle  - \langle VUx,y\rangle=\langle x,V^*U^*y\rangle - \langle x,U^*V^*y\rangle = \langle x, (V^*U^* - U^*V^*)y\rangle .$$
By the Zero-Operator Lemma (i.e., $T=0$ iff $\langle Tx,  y\rangle =0$ for all $x,y$), $V^*U^* - U^*V^*=0$. Since $U^*=U$ and $V=V^*$, we have $0=V U  - U^*V^*= VU - (VU)^*.$

How to get the help you need from IT
Try these tips to improve your relationship with the IT department.
By Sarah Ovaska-Few
Having a computer freeze up or battling a stubborn projector before a major presentation is no one's idea of time well-spent on the job.
In addition to stress and frustration, technology disruptions can mean a loss of hours worked (and, at some accounting firms, hours billed). That's why it's important to make sure that things are running smoothly and, if they're not, to get things up to speed as quickly as possible.
Clients expect almost immediate feedback, said Jim Bourke, CPA/CITP/CFF, CGMA, a partner and head of firm technology at New Jersey-based regional accounting firm WithumSmith+Brown. "If technology is not what it should be," he said, "how can you provide an instantaneous response?"
To meet clients' or customers' expectations, you need to have a good working relationship with the IT professionals who keep your organization plugged in. Here are some tips on how to do that.
How to ask for help
The best route, experts say, is to follow the process that's in place to ask for help.
Some large firms have a ticketing system in place while other IT departments prefer that associates send an email or call a help line. Dropping by in person can work as well, but many IT departments prefer having a documented system in place so that they can prioritize different requests, said Peter Henley, CPA/CITP, chief information officer for the Bellevue, Wash.-based firm Clark Nuber.
When you're filling out a request for help, be specific and offer as many details as possible about what programs may be acting up, and any error messages you get or pressing deadlines that you have. If you don't get any response to your request, escalate to an IT manager, your manager, or someone in an authoritative position, Henley said.
Employees working out of the office, such as auditors, should always let their IT colleagues know they're having problems remotely, he said.
"If you're at the client's [office] and your computer is broken, you're done," Henley said, whereas if you're at your workplace, "you can probably find something to do."
In his firm, those having problems out of the office almost always get classified as a high priority.
Also, realize that your IT colleagues are likely dealing with a number of requests and may not be able to drop everything immediately to help you, said Marc Staut of Boomer Consulting, a technology consulting firm for the accounting profession.
"Every single person thinks whatever they need should be priority number one," said Staut. "It can be a challenge to make sure everyone's getting that top level of service."
Don't wait to flag problems
Few things are more frustrating for IT professionals than facing a colleague in crisis mode, and having him or her mention the problem existed for the last few weeks, Staut said.
"IT departments are really good at fixing problems they know about, and they're really lousy at fixing problems that they don't know about," he said.
So, if the corner of your laptop's screen has cracked, let your IT colleagues know immediately instead of waiting until the whole thing shuts down.
"You're doing the firm a disservice by not getting this fixed," Henley said.
Not only can individual problems affect your workflow, they could also indicate a more widespread problem that IT needs to have on its radar.
IT departments should also routinely reach out to staff to see if people are having problems or need help navigating software programs, Staut said.
IT professionals sometimes "think that since they're not hearing anything, things are good," Staut said. But often that's not the case.
CPAs can offer valuable insight to technology associates about how programs or systems are working. Sometimes they figure out a better way to do something than the existing procedures, which can be valuable information for IT to know, Henley said.
Henley has also had his CPA colleagues tell him about innovative software programs that have gone on to be adopted companywide, a boon that he credits to having an open relationship with his colleagues.
But accountants and firm partners should avoid buying new software or tools without first running them by their in-house IT staff, who can assess whether the new product is really the best choice, Henley said.
Invite IT to participate in company culture
In some companies, IT departments sit in a separate office and don't mingle much with the CPAs that make up the bulk of the office. When that happens, IT professionals can start to feel like they're stuck in their own silo.
To encourage collaboration, Bourke's firm intersperses IT staff workplaces with CPAs' instead of putting the IT department in a separate location. That fosters close working relationships, and people are comfortable talking with the IT representative in their department.
"Then staff are inclined to go to the person near their office," he said.
IT staff can also give presentations in staff meetings and offer other learning sessions at the firm. Henley finds peer-to-peer learning to work best and looks for "software champions" among his firm's CPAs to work alongside IT to help explain how programs work to their colleagues.
It's also important to include your IT colleagues in company events and outings, to create working relationships that go beyond just responding to requests for help, Staut said.
"It's OK to invite them to other team events," Staut said. "IT people can be introverts as well, so sometimes they need a specific invitation."

Rochester Gas and Electric (RG&E), an investor-owned utility (IOU), is the primary electric and natural gas utility for the City of Rochester. The New York State Energy Research and Development Agency (NYSERDA) is the state-wide agency that administers energy-efficiency programs. The State of New York requires spending and savings targets for its utilities through an EERS and efficiency requirements in utility EEPSs. To learn more about the state-requirements for electric and gas efficiency, please visit the New York page of the State Database.
The City of Rochester Bureau of Water is the municipal utility that provides the City of Rochester with drinking water services, wastewater treatment, and stormwater management.
In 2017, RG&E reported 41,837 MWh of net electric savings at the meter, which represents 0.60% of its retail sales. In 2017, RG&E reported 0.28 MMtherms of net natural gas savings at the meter, which represents 0.12% of its retail sales across the utility's service territory. These savings figures cover RG&E's entire service jurisdiction, not just Rochester. RG&E offers electric efficiency incentives and technical assistance to residential and commercial/industrial customers. RG&E also offers natural gas efficiency programs to residential and commercial customers.
RG&E has been working with the City of Rochester in an administrative capacity on a low-income energy efficiency program. RG&E also worked collaboratively on the ROC EV Accelerator program and provided support for their efforts to secure funding from NYPA on programs to support air source heat pumps and electric vehicle car share for residents.
In 2017, RG&E did not provide renewable energy incentives for the construction of new distributed solar or wind systems.
At this time, we cannot confirm if city of Rochester participates in activities or strategies to help spur or encourage more utility-scale or distributed renewable energy generation from its local electric utility, such as testifying in public utility commission proceedings related to renewable energy, creating a formal partnership with the electric utility on renewable generation, or participating in utility planning efforts to increase renewable generation.
At this time, RG&E does not offer energy efficiency programs targeted at low-income customers.
NYSERDA offers the EmPower New York program to qualified low-income residential customers served by RG&E. This program addresses both electric and natural gas end uses, while providing no-cost energy efficiency solutions including air sealing, insulation, replacement of inefficient refrigerators and freezers, water efficiency measures, thermostats, and new energy-efficient lighting in order to reduce energy consumption. Additionally, the EmPower program includes health and safety checks of smoke detectors and appliances. Households that receive HEAP benefits, utility bill payment assistance, or participate in the federal Weatherization Assistance Program are automatically eligible. NYSERDA's Multifamily Performance Program and RetrofitNY initiatives also have low-income saving components. See the next section for more information.
In 2017, NSYERDA's low-income programs achieved 676 MWh savings for RG&E service territory while serving 1,219 low-income customers. NYSERDA's programs achieved 0.24 MMtherms savings while serving 1,133 customers for RG&E in 2017.
RG&E offers a Multi-Family Energy Efficiency program, which includes free direct install measures such as LED lighting in units and common areas, and faucet aerators and showerheads, water heater pipe wrap. The program also offers rebates for installing additional lighting measures, such as interior LED lamps, fixtures, and exit signs, exterior LED lighting such as wall packs, floodlights, canopy lights, and pole lights, and occupancy sensors.
NYSERDA's Multifamily Performance Program provides incentives for owners to incorporate energy efficiency into affordable buildings for RG&E customers. A Multifamily Building Solutions Provider will work with the owner to evaluate the building's systems holistically, creating a customized plan aimed at generating a minimum of 20% source energy savings along with reduced energy bills. For projects that could reach deeper energy savings, the High-Performance Component targets a minimum of 40% source energy savings with a maximum post-construction source energy use intensity (EUI) of 100 kBtu/sq ft./yr.
In 2018, NYSERDA launched the RetrofitNY initiative. The goal of this program is to drive market transformation by industrializing and standardizing the design and construction processes to achieve deep levels of cost compression, which will drive large scale adoption of deep energy and net zero retrofits in multifamily buildings. RetrofitNY approaches retrofits from a whole building perspective and targets multiple health and resiliency benefits as associated outcomes of building work-scope. NYSERDA funds are used in conjunction with other subsidy and financing offered from local, state and federal sources as a financing package coordinated through relevant affordable housing agencies.
In 2017, RG&E's multifamily program saved 552.76 MWh and 0.87 MMtherms while serving 11,303 households. NYSERDA's multifamily programs achieved 290 MWh and 0.14 MMtherms savings and served 337 RG&E customers. In total, RG&E and NYSERDA's programs achieved 842 MWh and 1.01 MMtherms in savings while serving 11,640 customers in 2017.

Later that afternoon i met some fellow scritti aficionados, Mike, Steve and Justin. We had a couple of drinks up the road and short after seven walked up to the Scala. There were already some familiar faces, and in the corner there was a small merchandising stand, where you could buy t-shirts and badges and a flyer for free. I felt a bit like a freeloader when i grabbed four of each, but i gotta fullfill my duty towards the bibbly-o-tek team of course!
The Scala is a rather nice roomy place with lots of stairs, the hall itself surrounded by balconies and some elevations at the back, providing everyone a decent view on the band. When we first got there was already a band playing, and just now i realise i don't know the name of it! Shame on me. I couldn't get into it – we went back to the foyer and had some more drinks and talked a bit more. Even when Wet Dog started playing, whom i liked when i saw them in the Luminaire, couldn't distract me. The hall was now nicely filled. It's hard to guess how many people there were, the website says the capacity is 1,145, so maybe there were like 700-900 people or so?
By now we were all staring at the small door besides the stage which was slightly open, through which we could see the band starting to get ready to go on stage. When they finally got there, a loud cheer rised up and all was set to go! My first surprise was not that the first song was The Boom Boom Bap, but that it was played not with a tape, but live. This was so much better than the previous gigs! Green in his Vivien Westwood suit looked the part, Alyssa wore a beautiful dress, Rhodri had a snappy blue tie, Ralph looked his usual fierce, switching between a normal drumset and a digital one, Dicky and Dave as always casual.
The setlist was about the same as the ones in Brighton and Oxford, no real surprises there. The band sounds together, the rehearsals have certainly payed of. Next time i go see a gig, i do wanna simply enjoy it, this time i knew i wanted to capture some songs, and that is a bit distracting. Still, i managed to switch between watching the stage and watching the camera – hence the swaying! My favourite songs were The 'Sweetest' Girl and Skank Bloc Bologna, but frankly, i just liked it all. I'm trying to remember now if there were two or three encore's, Woodbeez was one, E11th Nuts was one, was there another one before that?
Then it was over. *sigh* Still, there was an afterparty in the Glass Bar upstairs going on. I didn't really need the access all areas thing, i was given it much later, but it's a nice memento. We mingled a bit, and at the end i ended up sitting on the stage watching Andy packing up all the equipment. That was a lot of work! Which reminds me: i promised him to say that both Green and Andy think Brook Guitars in Devon make the best acoustic guitars in the world! This sponsored link is payed for by the generous offering of a Tesco's Finest chicken and avocado sandwich from the dressing room to a silly me who hadn't eaten anything since lunch.
I'd just like to stress that it sounded a whole heap better than these clips might suggest!
If I was picking what I would like to see/ hear it would be the same as your selection. Am I Right In Thinking is one of my favourites, I feel sick and wrong for knowing it so well!
I'm sure Rhodri's right… but for me the charm and the interest of an ad hoc recording is precisely that it isn't either a carbon copy of the studio album, or a carefully remixed and sanitised 'BBC' reconstruction. It's good that a website is a little ragged round the edges, and the exuberence of the playing is what counts. Having said that (and as a film professional) it's clear to me that the original sound must have been pretty good (witness the clear trebles) especially as the majority of gig spaces tend to muddy up the sound – to say nothing of the padding effect of hundreds of sweaty bodies which similarly deadens the overall sound. The overall effect is to make me really determined to get to a SWcrits (or GG&TT3) gig as soon as I can. Thanks Ellen, and thanks Rhodri.
I know Rhodri, it sounded heaps better! I hoped standing in the back would make it sound better than earlier clips i made, to no avail. It's just a tiny still camera.
Thank you so much for the clips, Ellen! I have an awful feeling that we might not see Green and the revitalized Scritti here in the US, but at least I can say I've seen your clips of "Wood Beez" and "Sweetest Girl," which is more than I'd ever hoped for.
Here Here! Many many MANY thanks for all of those clips, Ellen–truly a generous sacrifice in order to get some of the finer points of a Scritti concert for posterity. Sandy, I somehow get the feeling that you're right about no Scritti tour in the US (there seem to be a lot of factors against it–er, historically speaking, that is), but I dare not consciously admit it for fear that it will somehow affect the outcome. Nonetheless, just getting to see and hear those few minutes' worth was by far the high point of an otherwise low week. I take back my previous comment about the first incarnation of Scritti being the most interesting–those clips are mesmerizing.
ellen, i had a goal to video the same songs as you, plus mrs hughes, and i too only got a minute or so of wood beez. i'm sending the clips to john hyde so you may well end up with them here on bibbly-o-tek. your pictures are slightly better (i was near the back with my pregnant wife!), my sound is slightly better.
friends at tate britain and tate modern they tell there may be a free scritti gig, probably at tate britain, next month, but it's not confirmed. i'm sure we'll hear officially soon.
Thanks so much for the clips of Scala….being a fan since 85 and walking in the cloud that was Scritti Politti and finally seeing a clearing in the year 2006 has been a dream come true.
Hope they come to Florida and see me at the space center.
I was at the Scala, too … and like everyone else who's posted, was blown away by the experience of seeing the band live after all these years. Just in case anyone missed it, there was an enthusiastic four-star Scritti review in the Guardian this morning that captures the excitement of the gig really well.


Little did I know, that when I was first introduced to Yak, I would be explaining it in a Blog, but here I am. Whenever we drive to Washington to visit our daughter and family, we would drive through a small picturesque town in southern British Columbia. We often stopped at the two antique shops there, just in case there was something there that we didn't know we needed! Several years after our first visit, a school chum of mine (when we both lived on farms), moved with her partner to Yak. Her partner was a trucker, and there was lots of work in the forest industry. Shortly after their move, my friend was involved in a very serious highway traffic accident, and she spent months in the hospital. Now, when we travel through the town, my mind is not on antique shops but my friend who survived and is now living in a Seniors' complex abou 80 km. from our home.
Yakima is a city in Washington, located in the fertile Yakima Valley. It is a "must stop" location because of the fresh apples that we can buy. Precision Fruit and Antiques was our favorite place to stop; sort of "killing two birds with one stone", if you've heard that expression. Honeycrisp is our absolute favorite apple; it is crisp and noticeably sweet.
LOL. YAK AWAY. DON'T BLAME HUBBY. U MUST HAVE LOTS TO SHARE, LOL. THEN AGAIN, US FEMALES ARE KNOWN FOR YAKING. YEP, I'M LAUGHING.

Are You Destined To Become The Bank of Mum & Dad?
We'd excited to introduce you to My Baba's new resident expert, Miss Lolly. Miss Lolly is a financial adviser at a wealth management firm in the City of London. A Chartered Independent Financial Adviser and Fellow of the Personal Finance Society (PFS), Miss Lolly is one very smart cookie – this being the highest qualification a financial adviser can hold. Miss Lolly is also a member of MENSA – the high IQ Society with an IQ of 148, so we think you'll soon agree, when it comes to finance – she really knows her stuff.
Miss Lolly lives in south west London with her husband and their two children. This is the first in Miss Lolly's new monthly series of blogs for My Baba.
My job immerses me in the world of the wealthiest individuals in society and I am conscious of this when I start to think about my finances. It would be very easy to get stressed about my lack of millions in the bank.
Only this week have I talked to clients about funding six figure house deposits for their children and many often gift their offspring a property outright when they feel that the time is right.
As a mother of two, I do worry about my children's ability to get on the property ladder and it seems that I am not alone. The ONS published some thought provoking figures showing that house prices are seven times earnings. Given that lenders are likely to lend 4 or 5 times your salary; this means you need a HUGE deposit to fill the gap.
Halifax recently found that 25% of 18-34 year olds are relying on an inheritance to get on the property ladder. With increasing care costs, I feel there could be a lot of disappointed 18-34 year olds out there.
So what should you be thinking about as a parent?
You can only do what you can! The amount that you can put by will be determined by your disposable income. Make sure you have built in your personal saving and retirement planning when working out your true disposable income. Its important to put your own finances first.
Family mortgages are the response of the banking industry to parent's concern. They help parents to help their children get on the ladder often by securing a loan on the parents' home.
I prefer to put money aside in my name (especially whilst the sums aren't huge). This allows me to have control of when and how my children would get access to anything that is earmarked for them.
Consider investing the money rather than keeping it in cash if you are investing for 5/10 years or more. Currently cash savings rates are not beating inflation.
Good luck with your saving!!

Two Malay Cotton Woven Textiles (Kain Tenun)
Malay People, East Coast, Malay Peninsula, Malaysia
both about 226cm x 102cm
collected by Alwyn Sidney Haynes (1878-1963), and thence by descent. Haynes was a colonial administrator in Malaya and the Straits Settlements between 1901 and 1934. He held many posts including Acting British Resident, Pahang (1924); British Resident, Perak (1925); British Advisor, Kedah (1925); British Advisor, Kelantan (1930); and Acting Colonial Administrator, Straits Settlements (1933), after which he retired and returned to England, and lived near Stratford-upon-Avon, and then in Leamington Spa. Haynes loaned some of the items he collected in Malaya to the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford in 1939. He was awarded an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1950.
These two whole, matched panels of kain tenun (literally, 'woven cloth') were acquired new in the 1930s or earlier by a British colonial official. They were brought back to England and have been in storage since. As a consequence, they are in perfect, 'as new' condition. They are of predominantly deep blue thread with metallic thread decoration.
One of the panels has been sewn into a sarong.
Kain tenun was handwoven often by small family enterprises in the traditional way using the Malay or Siamese floor weaving loom known as a kek Siam. It was produced on the Malay peninsula, mostly in Kelantan, Terengganu and Pahang states. The resulting textile was used for sarongs but also for kain samping – the shorty sarongs Malay men traditionally wore over their trousers. Kain tenun was also tailored into traditional shirts for women (known as baju kurung and baju kebaya) and shirts for men (baju Melayu). The finest producers of kain tenun received commissions to supply the Malay peninsula's many royal courts for most of the sultans, their families, and officials all wore the textile.
As mentioned, the two are in perfect condition. The colours are as bright as the day the textiles were woven. They have never been used.

Definition of Number 11
11 is the first of the three Master Numbers. Where 11 appears in your reading, it's usually not reduced down to a single digit but interpreted as its own energy. The name 'Master Number' doesn't mean that you're a master of anything in this lifetime, nor does it mean that you've automatically mastered the lessons that these numbers have come to teach you. They're called Master Numbers because they're more demanding of you than the single digit numbers, and it will take more effort and integrity to 'master' them and understand their purpose in your life.
The Master Number 11 is a blend of 1 and 2. It takes the drive and purpose of 1, and combines it with the compassion and grace of 2. It's a unique blend of qualities that brings with it a captivating vibration that endears you to many people, even when you're making a mess of things trying to understand just what you're meant to be doing with your life. You want to get ahead, but you're perhaps too bashful or reserved to really make your wishes known. You'll have to find a way to engage others in your journey, or your plans may indeed just remain dreams and wishes.
11 is creative and charming, but pay close attention to where it falls in your numerology reading. It will expose your fears, and show you where you hesitate and overthink things. 11 is an enigma in every sense of the word, and it may be hard for others to understand you, even though they'll be drawn to your charm. Don't abuse their affection by taking it for granted.
11 indicates where you need to dream your dreams but prepare to work to put the foundations under them. 11 has to have a goal, and if it doesn't it will start to become lazy and moody. This is a 'knife-edge' number, showing you where you've got the biggest potential for success, and also the greatest capacity for failure. Which path are you going to take?
Numerology is a form of divination that is based on both your date of birth and your name. Your life path number is the most important, and it is calculated using the numbers of your date of birth. Other information can be obtained by converting the letters in your name (full name at birth, nickname or common name, married name, etc) to numbers, and then interpreting those numbers.

One of the most important skills one can hold is the ability to negotiate. Negotiation is a dialogue between two or more people or parties intended to reach to an understanding or come to an agreement. In the business world you may have come across people using different idioms related to negotiations for variety of reason such as to negotiate a salary, or a promotion, to secure a sale or to form a new partnership.
1) Above board – If business negotiations are described as above board it means they are open, legal and honest.
Example – Our dealing have always been above board.
Example – Your business is very important to us hence we will bend over backwards to keep it up.
3) Blank Check – To give someone the permission or to authorize someone to do what they think is the best in a situation.
Example – John was given a blank check by his boss and was told to get the best deal possible.
4) Bide your time – To wait patiently for a good opportunity to do something.
Example – He's not hesitating to work with your company, he's just biding his time for the prices to drop.
Example – We don't want to blow the deal with your company because of our minor mistakes.
Example – The contract is ours but the company won't use our name on the product, we have got the raw end of the deal.
Example – After negotiating all day long the company came to terms with the new rates.

Crime briefs: Family feud leads to jail
Amber Pittman
Updated: Feb. 14, 2013, 11:16 p.m.
A man was arrested early Saturday morning after officers arrived to a family fight on Stone Street.
When officers arrived, they met with Jessie Smith, who was in the driveway yelling in the direction of the residence, according to reports. Officers went inside the residence and Smith reportedly yelled at them that they could not go inside without a warrant. The officers ignored him, going inside the home where they found a shattered glass coffee table strewn around the living room. When asked what happened, Smith's wife reportedly told officers that Smith broke the coffee table and admitted to it. She said they had been to a birthday party and been drinking. Smith came home first and when she arrived home, he allegedly began arguing with her and she took a comforter and went to sleep on the couch.
A short time later, Smith came into the living room and the picked up the coffee table and slammed it on the floor, breaking it.
He was arrested for disorderly conduct. On the way to the jail he reportedly kept saying to officers, "I can't believe I am going to jail for breaking a coffee table."

Officers were called to Newton Medical Center after a man came in complaining of injuries sustained in a beating with a bamboo stick Saturday afternoon. According to reports, the victim said he had been struck in the head and left arm with a bamboo stick by Quindarius Smith. He told them he and a friend had been walking down Puckett Street when they noticed Smith drive by. He said Smith stopped the vehicle, got out and reached behind the seat and began shouting threats at him, then walked over and struck him several times with the bamboo stick.
Officers noted a knot on the victim's head and wrist. The case was turned over to detectives.

Swallow Krantz Farm is set in a rural area 40km from Tarkastad, and makes for the ideal family get away.
Swallow Krantz has been home to many cultures, which include the early Bushmen, Dutch settlers, as well as the Scottish settlers. Each of these cultures have left their mark at Swallow Krantz, making it an exciting farm to explore. Bushmen paintings can be found on the rock faces at Swallow Krantz, as well as many neighbouring properties. The Dutch settlers built a very impressive water mill, which can still be seen on the farm today.
The Scottish settlers established a half way house at Swallow Krantz for travellers passing by to rest their oxen, and to spend the night, and we have continued the tradition of running Swallow Krantz as a hospitality establishment, and we would like to invite you to enjoy our farm and hospitality.
The Winterberg area offers many interesting walks, and some of the best bird watching spots in South Africa.

HomeNewsUniversity student dies after jumping from seventh-floor building
University student dies after jumping from seventh-floor building
By Stanley Kasee
A student at Chuka University, on Sunday evening, June 27, died after she jumped from the seventh floor of the institution's building.
The said building is said to be the University's Science Complex in Tharaka Nithi County.
The campus girl was reported to have committed suicide after an altercation with an alleged boyfriend.
According to eyewitnesses, the lady who was allegedly pregnant accused the schoolmate of infidelity.
Emergency service providers who were called to the scene took her to a nearby hospital after administering first aid.
She was, however, reported dead on arrival. The institution and police were to release a statement on the matter at the time of publication.
Nonetheless, the officers commenced investigations with the eyewitnesses summoned to record statements.
Earlier this month, the Ministry of Health raised the alarm over the increasing number of suicide cases.
While launching the Kenya Mental Health Action Plan(2021-2025), Health CAS Mercy Mwangangi said that mental health remains an important pillar in the country's health system as well as social-economic development.
The CAS called for concerted efforts to boost mental health care systems through dedication, investment and planning for resources, oversight, coordination oversight, advocacy, and awareness creation.
"Public and private partnership will be an important ingredient in the effective implementation of this action plan. I call upon county governments, private sector, NGOs, faith-based organizations and community groups to invest and commit in mental health to help actualize the objectives of this mental health plan," Mercy urged.
She asked the depression victims to seek counselling by visiting professionals and registered counsellors and therapists.
They can also reach out to the Ministry of Health via hotline numbers 1199 and 0721-336017.

When it comes to the casting choices for the film adaptation of "The Maze Runner", 20th Century Fox made sure that the cast won't disappoint the avid readers of the book.
Thus, the news about the sequel of "The Maze Runner" just keeps getting better as it was recently confirmed that "The Conjuring" star Lili Taylor and "True Grit" star Barry Pepper will be joining the cast of "The Maze Runner Chapter II: The Scorch Trials"!

Best known for her role as the possessed mother in "The Conjuring", Lili Taylor is set to appear in the sequel as Mary Cooper (not to be confused with Sheldon Cooper's mother in "The Big Bang Theory"), a new character that is created for the film. Cooper is described as a doctor who starts a colony of survivors in the hopes of making a last stand.

Barry Pepper will play a bigger role in the sequel as he is set to portray Vince, the leader of an organisation called the Right Arm.

Titled "The Scorch Trials", the sequel for the novel-turned-film "The Maze Runner" will be the second installment in The Maze Runner trilogy. The film is the adaptation of James Dashner YA trilogy and director Wes Ball will return to helm the film. It is also scheduled to begin shooting later this month in New Mexico.
The film has received mixed reviews from the critics but has raked in a surprise success total of over $305 million in worldwide box office. Dylan O'Brien and Will Poulter will return to lead the cast, alongside the "Game of Thrones" actor Nathalie Emmanuel and Aidan Gillen. Rosa Salazar and Giancarlo Esposito have also joined the cast.
