Full text from the United Nations announcing drone inquiry
Statement by Ben Emmerson, UN Special Rapporteur on Counter- Terrorism and Human Rights concerning the launch of an inquiry into the civilian impact, and human rights implications of the use drones and other forms of targeted killing for the purpose of counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency.
The Special Rapporteur today issued the following statement at a press conference in London:
"In June of last year, at the Human Rights Council in Geneva, a group of States, including two permanent members of the Security Council, as well as Pakistan and a number of other concerned States, made a joint statement asking me to carry out an investigation, within the framework of this mandate, into the use of drones in the context of counter- terrorism operations.
I issued a statement shortly afterwards to the effect that those States using this technology, and those States on whose territory it is used, are under an international law obligation to establish effective independent and impartial investigations into any drone attack in which it is plausibly alleged that civilian casualties were sustained. I also indicated that if those States did not take steps to establish sufficiently robust and impartial investigations it may, in the final resort, be necessary for the UN to conduct investigations into individual drone strikes.
The Inquiry that I am launching today is a direct response to the requests made to me by States at the Human Rights Council last June, as well as to the increasing international concern surrounding the issue of remote targeted killing through the use of UAVs. The exponential rise in the use of drone technology in a variety of military and non-military contexts represents a real challenge to the framework of established international law and it is both right as a matter of principle, and inevitable as a matter of political reality, that the international community should now be focussing attention on the standards applicable to this technological development, particularly its deployment in counter- terrorism and counter-insurgency initiatives, and attempt to reach a consensus on the legality of its use, and the standards and safeguards which should apply to it.
The plain fact is that this technology is here to stay, and its use in theatres of conflict is a reality with which the world must contend. It is therefore imperative that appropriate legal and operational structures are urgently put in place to regulate its use in a manner that complies with the requirements of international law, including international human rights law, international humanitarian law (or the law of war as it used to be called), and international refugee law.
At present there are at least three main legal theories vying for primacy of place on this question. There are those who contend that outside situations of recognised international armed conflict, the applicable framework is international human rights law, under which it is unlawful to engage in any form of targeted killing. The standards set out in Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and particularly the provisions of Article 6 which protects the right to life, permit the use of lethal force only where it is strictly necessary as a matter of immediate self-defence. Under this analysis States wishing to take action against suspected terrorists located outside a recognised situation of international armed conflict must first try to effect an arrest, and may use lethal force only if the person they are seeking resists arrest and it proves strictly necessary to use firearms.
At the other end of the spectrum the analysis that has been promoted by international lawyers in the United States, and by John Brennan, President Obama's nominee to head the CIA, to the effect that Western democracies are engaged in a global against a stateless enemy, without geographical boundaries to the theatre of conflict, and without limit of time. This analysis is heavily disputed by most States, and by the majority of international lawyers outside the United States of America.
A third way of analysing the issue is to ask whether a terrorist organisation is engaging in an internal (or non-international) armed conflict with a particular government such as the governments of Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia; and then to ask whether and in what circumstances it is lawful for a third State to become engaged as a party to an internal armed conflict in support of the government forces. It is clear that as a matter of international law such engagement may be lawful if it takes place at the express request of the government of the State concerned. It is much less clear whether it can be lawful for an outside State such as the US to use military force without the express consent of the State concerned. International lawyers disagree on whether tacit consent or acquiescence is sufficient; on whether the deployment of remote targeting technology in such circumstances amounts to a violation of the sovereignty of the State on whose territory it is used; and on whether it may nonetheless be lawful if the State concerned is either unwilling or unable to tackle the terrorist threat posed by an insurgent group operating on its territory.
The absence of consensus on these very fundamental questions of international law is the focus of intense debate at the United Nations at the moment, and will form the subject of a series of high-level discussions and negotiations between States and experts over the coming year, aimed at bridging these very different points of view. The reality here is that the world is facing a new technological development which is not easily accommodated within the existing legal frameworks, and none of the analyses that have been floated is entirely satisfactory or comprehensive. And they may differ in their application in different theatres of conflict. The legal situation in Afghanistan for instance, where there is a recognised international armed conflict is very different from that in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas of Pakistan, which in turn is very different from Yemen or the OPT. And even within a country like Yemen, there may be parts of the country in which some would take the view that there is an internal armed conflict taking place, whilst in other parts of the country this is clearly not the case.
Given the relative ease with which this technology can be deployed, and given its relatively low cost (both in economic terms, and in terms of risk to the lives of service personnel of the States deploying the technology) the issue now has to be confronted squarely by the international
community. And by that I don't just mean a tacit or express deal done between governments behind closed doors. I mean also that efforts must be made to achieve some consensus among the citizens those governments represent. After all, the States deploying this technology for military use are mostly democratic States.
I should make it quite clear that these legal questions are not confined to the use of drones. As a matter of law, they apply to all use of armed force, including manned aircraft and missile strikes for the purpose of targeted killing. But it is the use of drones which has propelled this issue to the top of the international agenda because they can and have been used with such apparent ease and frequency to devastating effect, without putting the lives of pilots at risk. Given that the technology is routinely deployed against targets that are deeply embedded in civilian communities within the tribal areas of Pakistan and Yemen for example, concerns have been raised that there is an unacceptably high risk of civilian casualties.
The central objective of the present investigation is to look at the evidence that drone strikes and other forms of remote targeted killing have caused disproportionate civilian casualties in some instances, and to make recommendations concerning the duty of States to conduct thorough independent and impartial investigations into such allegations, with a view to securing accountability and reparation where things can be shown to have gone badly wrong with potentially grave consequences for civilians.
My mandate has received a large number of communication complaints relating to individual strikes, and my staff in Geneva has begun the process of looking into certain incidents. In order to formulate recommendations to the General Assembly on this issue, I have identified a small team of experts to assist me in identifying instances in which it is plausibly alleged that targeted killing operations of this nature have resulted in civilian casualties, and in conducting a critical examination of the available evidence. We propose to focus on 25 cases studies from Pakistan, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan and the OPT and to examine the evidence in detail with a view to determining whether there is a plausible allegation of unlawful killing that should trigger the international law obligations to investigate, obligations which arise both under international human rights law, and under international humanitarian law.
This is not of course a substitute for effective official independent investigations by the States concerned. Nor do I anticipate that it will result in a dossier of evidence capable of leading directly to the attribution of legal – criminal or civil – liability. The purpose of the investigation is to assist me to put those plausible allegations to the relevant States for a response, and to report my findings to the General Assembly in the autumn of 2013, with a view to making recommendations for further action at UN level if that proves to be justified by the findings of my inquiry.
The Inquiry will be divided into three phases. The first phase, which is expected to conclude by the end of May, is the evidence-gathering phase. During this period my team will be working closely with lawyers, journalists and NGO's operating in the field, as well as with international
NGO's. I will also be consulting directly with the relevant States through my office in Geneva. I expect to conduct a number of country visits, including visits to Pakistan, Yemen and the Sahel.
The second phase, which will run from the end of May until the end of July is the consultation phase, during which I will seek the views and responses of the relevant States on the particular case studies that the Inquiry has focussed upon.
The third phase, from the end of July until the end of September, will be the evaluation phase, and the drafting of the final report. I expect to present my report, including my conclusions and recommendations, to the UN General Assembly in New York in October of this year.
I should make it clear that I approach this inquiry with an entirely open mind about the allegations that have been brought to my attention, and that I have not yet formed any view on the difficult legal questions which arise. The concern of my mandate is to establish the facts as reliably as possible, bearing in mind the significant practical obstacles that exist to the conduct of reliable evidence-gathering on the ground in Waziristan, Yemen, Afghanistan and Somalia.
The inquiry which will be co-ordinated through the office of the Special Rapporteur on Counter Terrorism and Human Rights in Geneva who will handle all engagement with Member States of the UN. In addition, I have a staff here in London to assist me in liaising with those who have already conducted or are now conducting investigations in the field. I can tell you that I have already received a substantial volume of relevant primary evidence in the form of statements, photographs and forensic material.
The inquiry team that will be assisting me is Abdul-Ghani Al-Iryani, a political analyst and development consultant in Yemen, who currently leads the Democratic Awakening Movement, a trans-partisan political advocacy movement that promotes democracy and the rule of law in Yemen: Dr. Nat Cary, a leading forensic pathologist with specialist expertise in the interpretation of disruptive injuries caused by explosions: Imtiaz Gul, Executive Director of the Islamabad-based independent Centre for Research and Security Studies; Professor Sarah Knuckey of NYU, co-author of the report "Living Under Drones"; Lord Macdonald of River Glaven QC, the former Director of Public Prosecutions for England and Wales; Sir Geoffrey Nice QC, former senior prosecutor at the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia who prosecuted Slobodan Milosevic; Captain Jason Wright, a serving judge-advocate with the US military who is assisting the inquiry in his personal capacity; Justice Shah Jehan Khan Yousafzai, a former Senior Puisne Judge of the Peshawar High Court in Pakistan, and Jasmine Zerinini, former Deputy Director for Afghanistan and South Asia in the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The legal counsel to the inquiry will be based in London. The inquiry team will be consulting with military forensic experts, targeting experts and NGO's and journalists from the UK, the US and Pakistan with a close knowledge of the regions and the issues.
I am also working closely with Forensic Architecture, and organisation that specialises in forensic modelling of military conflicts for the purposes of assessing their compatibility with international human rights and humanitarian law.
From my initial communications with relevant States I have grounds to be optimistic that the inquiry will receive good co-operation from the governments of Pakistan, Yemen, the United States and the United Kingdom."

NASA's New Hi-Res Tour of the Moon Is Breathtaking
YouTube/NASA Goddard
Although it's looming overhead all the time, the moon is still an incredibly mysterious place. A few lucky and brave souls have had the chance to step foot on it, but for the rest of us who can't afford to stay in a space hotel, seeing the crater-pocked surface and mythical dark side up close is a full-on fantasy.
Or... maybe it isn't.
NASA just dropped a stunning, high-res video tour of our only natural orbiting satellite, complete with wildly detailed close-ups of craters and boulders, mesmerizing panoramas, and lots of other details that enable you to appreciate the big white dot in the sky in a whole new way.
Using data and images collected by NASA's Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter spacecraft, the agency created a spectacular guided virtual tour in vivid 4K resolution, complete with a soothing symphonic soundtrack that adds just the right amount of meditative drama to the whole thing. The video takes you on a journey from the near side, to the far (dark) side, and to both the north and south poles, all while highlighting certain geologic and topographic elements by overlaying colorful models.
It's a bit like exploring our own planet via Google Earth, only in much higher definition, and with an expert guide. Even if you're not a moon fanatic, it's tough not to feel a bit awestruck by the end of the five minute clip.

Villoni Würfel grew up in the world of fashion retail under the umbrella of Villoni Boutique. Villoni Boutique deals predominantly in evening/formal dresses, bridal, and bridesmaid gowns, anything with glamorous dresses.
She co-directed the store, famously named after her, and held numerous of fashion shows in Sydney, Australia, showcasing a wide variety of dress designs and sponsored Villoni Boutique's dresses on the most popular Australian TV shows, such as Wheel of Fortune, Dancing with the Stars, So You Think You Can Dance Australia, Biggest Loser, It Takes Two and appeared as a guest judge on Australia's Next Top Model Show.
She also featured dresses in Bridal Magazines Australia, Bride to Be, Comso Bride, Cosmopolitan, Dolly Magazine, Weddings, and more! Dressing the gorgeous Australian singer, Kate Ceberano.
By the time she was 26 years of age, she exceeded all of her goals and peaked in her success as a creative director in fashion retail business, generating highest ever net income in retail alone. Her ability to create expansion made it possible to start an entirely new business, wholesaling designs to other retail boutiques around Australia.
Villoni Boutique no longer remained as just a boutique where woman shopped at the store to look for their perfect dress, but it became a Brand, representing exclusivity, high-end fashion, glamour, with the Villoni- signature look!
In 2006, her success got her invited to be featured on the front cover of Aus-Indo Magazine (a popular circulated magazine, called Australian-Indonesian) in Sydney with an article attributing her personal success to her hard work, creativity and passion for her work. She was driven by the change of fashion, and how rapidly designs and colors took a turn in different seasons.
Nothing ever stays the same in fashion! She was always looking into the future: colors, designs and what was coming next. Having been so successful in the fashion retail business, she wanted something different.
In 2008, she ventured off to Los Angeles, California where she lived in a place full of artists. The beauty of Hollywood and what it had to offer became clear to her and she wanted to create something from nothing and soon discovered there was an abundance of creativity, but the visibility of the "struggling artists" was too obvious.
She realized that artists weren't truly viable to continue creating art unless it became a business.
Before leaving Los Angeles, she discovered the idea of crowdfunding and how this can bring art to life, but with viability. In 2010, she moved to the East Coast Florida. That's when Arrow Project was born, and now her new story unfolds.
In 2013, she designed and created her first wooden watches, successfully raising the funds through Indiegogo, which rapidly launched her initial brand (Arrow Project). The following year 2014, she continued with her wooden designs, and created unique polarized sunnies (sunglasses) successfully raised funds through Kickstarter.
In 2015-2016 she had the opportunity to travel around the United States going to places she had always dreamed of going, such as Seattle Washington, Manhattan New York, San Fransisco, Santa Barbara California, Portland Oregon, Houston Texas, and Miami Florida.
This gave her the chance to really look at where she wanted to go with her creativity so she focused her vision on presenting herself connected to her designs and after more than a year, she transitioned from Arrow Project to creating a unique and original new image: Villoni Würfel.
It all finally came together! She's had a passion for watches her whole life, starting when she received her first watch from her loving grandmother. Since then she was hooked on all kinds of beautiful time pieces. Since her last crowdfunding project in 2014, Villoni was looking for her "niche", that "drive", that "it factor", and watches was it! Introducing, Villoni Würfel Watch Collection.

Six Falun Dafa Practitioners Arrested in Shulan City - Police Forbid Family Visits
(Clearwisdom.net) [Note: The following is a shortened version of a longer and more detailed article that appeared on the Minghui.org website (Chinese version of Clearwisdom.net).]
In May 2006, persecutors from the Shulan City National Security Division in Jilin Province illegally arrested six Dafa practitioners including Zhao Yongcai, Yao Yuguo, Liu Dongmei, and Liu Lifen, causing their families tremendous harm. The families went to the National Security Division and asked for their release. The police refused to let them meet with the practitioners. According to an insider, Li Jiazhe, the Shulan City National Security Division head and others tortured the practitioners and caused them permanent injuries, which is why they are strictly blocking information and stonewalling the families' requests to meet with the practitioners.

EARLY ROYAL ROWBARGES
Gloriana is the first Royal barge built for over 250 years. However, her design and build used structures and techniques that have changed little since the clinker built (with the planks overlapping) long-boats of the Viking age and carries on a centuries-old tradition of Royal rowbarges on the Thames. Its similarity to the vessels in the famous Canaletto painting The River Thames with St. Paul's Cathedral on Lord Mayor's Day is immediately apparent. With an overall length of ninety-two feet Gloriana is bigger than her predecessors, which were typically between sixty and seventy-five feet. However, like them she carries eighteen oarsmen.'
Giovanni Canaletto: Westminster Bridge with the Lord Mayor's procession, 29 October 1746
As an historian, I'm delighted to see the revival of the great tradition of Royal rowbarges and pageantry on the River Thames. But this beautiful wooden vessel doesn't only look to the past. It will provide a focal point for the celebration of the Jubilee and also promises to be a lasting asset to the charities and educational organisations using the river in their work.
David Starkey, Historian
Before horse drawn coaches were introduced into England, most royal or state processions in London went by water. As the love of pageantry grew in the time of Henry VIII, so processions by water from the City of London up to Westminster or downstream to Greenwich, became part of the pattern of city life. Not only was it the more direct route, but it was also pleasanter at a time when open sewers ran through the plague-infested streets and spectators at processions were crushed against walls. Moreover, the Royal residences were on the Thames, and the town houses of many of the nobility had gardens stretching down to the waterside, with their own landing stairs. The Thames was the equivalent of today's M4 motorway and the state barges were the limousines!
Aqua Triumphalis; Being a True Relation of the Honourable the City of Londons Entertaining Their Sacred Majesties upon the River of Thames. . . 13 May 1662
The City Livery companies were amongst those who revelled in pageantry since it asserted their importance and civic pride and the focus was Lord Mayor's Day. The earliest account of such a procession by water is found in the records of the Brewer's Company for 1422: 'That William Walderne was chosen Mayor of St Edmunds Day, when it was ordered that the Aldermen and Craft should go to Westminster with him to take his charge, in barges without minstrels.'
By the 16th century the precedence of the Companies was carefully regulated. First went The Lord Mayor's Barge, followed by the barge of his own company, to which also fell the task of staging the masque or pageant. Then followed the other companies in the traditional order: Mercers, Grocers, Drapers, Fishmongers, Goldsmiths, Skinners, Merchant Taylors, Haberdashers, Salters, Ironmongers, Vintners and Clothworkers. When Royal barges were also in the procession, a halt was called on the return journey and the companies' barges lined up on either side of the river to allow the royal barges to make their way forward to the front, receiving salutes as they did so. Arguments over precedence constantly broke out!
Charles II's barge carries Lord Nelson's coffin 8 January 1806
With increasing prosperity in the 17th century and more frequent public ceremonies, most of the companies acquired their own barges, and permanent decorations were painted round the whales of the vessels, and included the companies' emblems and insignias. During the 18th century hulls became lower with flatter and straighter sheer lines and into the 18th century the canvas awnings of the house gave way to wooden roofs accessible with railings and stairways. Atop the house were colourful flags and banners and aft were seats for the musicians, who were an integral part of such festivities. From the earliest days the provision of 'a mynstrelsie' was the first requirement for good entertainment, and the procession would pass 'with all its drumes and flutes and trumpettes blohying'.
Royal progresses on the Thames were fairly frequent during the Tudor period. The most elaborate was for the coronation of Henry VII's Queen (Elizabeth of York) in 1487, 'when she came from Greenwich attended by barges', and in 1533 Anne Boleyn's coronation (and in the same year the christening of the future Queen Elizabeth 1). In Grafton's description of the water pageant on this occasion, 'The Queene appeared in riche clothe of gold and entered into her Barge . . . musicians continually playing . . . and many Bishops and noblemen, everyone in his Barge.'
"A View of the Barges conducting his Danish Majesty from Whitehall to the Temple (Septr. 23d 1768) in his way to the Mansion House"
Royal Barge of Frederick Prince of Wales 1732
Queen Elizabeth I, on her accession to the throne in 1558 went by water to the Tower, and whenever she changed her residence, whether it was to Greenwich, Hampton Court, Windsor or Richmond, if she went by water she was attended by the Mayor and City Companies, as well as by private barge, accompanied by artillery on board and 'a pleasant melodie of instruments'. Maybe William Shakespeare witnessed these processions, which could well have inspired his description of Cleopatra:
The barge she sat in like a burnished throne,
Burn'd on the water; the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were love-sick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of the flutes kept stroke and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes . . .
The high point of pageantry and Royal and civic magnificence on the Thames came with the Stuarts. James I and his Queen brought the splendour of the continental court with them and the scale of the pageants was huge with the entertainments often lasting for days. According to one witness, 'They took barge at Winchester stairs and rowed to Whitehall against the tide. The chief masques went in the King's Barge royally adorned, and plenteously furnished with a great number of war lights, that they alone made a glorious show. Other gentlemen went in the Prince's Barge, and certain other went in other fair barges. Each barge and galley being replenished with store of torchlights, made so rare and brave a show upon the water as the like was never seen upon the Thames.'
The Commonwealth put a blight on such pageantry, but 'the most magnificent triumph that ever floated on the Thames', according to John Evelyn, restored the tradition when Charles II on the occasion of his wedding to Catherine of Braganza in 1661, 'came in an antique-shaped open vessel, covered with a state, or canopy, of cloth of gold, made in form of a cupola, supported with high Corinthian pillars, wreathed with flowers, festoons and garlands.' Nevertheless, in spite of great pageants in 1714 for George I's coronation, 1733 for the reception of the Prince of Orange and 1768 for the arrival of the King of Denmark river pageants were less fashionable. Pageantry ended in 1858 with the 'Great Stink', caused by the filthy state of the river.
The state and livery barges had a high or 'lute' stern, which helped the bargemaster to obtain a good view of the river. The bargemaster was an important personage not only in the companies but also in Royal and noble households. As early as 1486 the Royal Bargemaster was protected by Royal charter. His costume has varied little and it appears that the watermen were the first public servants to wear uniforms. Since the 18th century the Royal Bargemaster has worn a scarlet coat embellished with the Royal insignia in silver braid on the front and back, kneebreeches, buckled shoes, white silk stockings, and a cocked hat. The Royal Watermen also wear scarlet, laced with gold with a gilt badge on the arm and a peaked jockey's cap of black velvet. These uniforms are still worn today but not since 1849 did The Royal Bargemaster and the Royal Watermen under him have a Royal Barge to fulfil their duties.
The Queen's Rowbarge Gloriana has changed that. She has opened a new chapter in the ceremonial use of the Thames. Once again it is witness to the proud and stately occasions that delighted the hearts of our forbears.

American Studies will introduce students to the themes explored by both historians and authors. Students will develop and gain insight into the dynamic interaction of text and history by analyzing an array of fiction and non-fiction texts, poetry, music, drama, images, statistics and ideas throughout the course. Students will elevate the sophistication of their writing in preparation for the Junior Writing Portfolio including development of a formal research paper that will be completed during the first semester.
In American Studies, students augment their understanding of significant themes and ideas that shape our evolving understanding of the American Identity. A concerted effort is made to link all learning to current events, showing why it matters to "know" the complexities of the American experience. They work to personalize their written voice, improve clarity of expression and hone skills in analytical, narrative, creative and expository writing. Students are encouraged to develop appreciation of the power of words, as well as reading and writing for pleasure.
Students will be assessed using a standards based grading methodology. Student progress and achievement will be measured according to the literacy standards outlined in the Common Core, the Social Studies State Standards outlined in the C3 Framework, the achievement expectations of the Joel Barlow school-wide rubrics and the ITSE (International Society for Technology Education) standards for technology education. Learning will be defined by progress in developing proficiency in the skills and processes authentic to the study of history in the 21st Century. Rather than seeking to accumulate points, students will devote their time and energy to achieving benchmarks of learning. Each assessment for the course will include a list of standards measured by that assessment. Students will have multiple opportunities to meet each standard as well as revision opportunities on major assessments.
The range of skills described by the standards is vast. Here is a comprehensive list of the standards. Mastery of a certain basic set of these skills is necessary to pass the course. The rest of the standards are labeled according to graduated levels of sophistication which will be used to derive a students grade at the end of each marking period.


All men and women who currently serve or are interested in serving as a Nonprofit Board members are invited to register, ranging from veterans of board service to the newly interested. Training focus will be on developing leaders for the nonprofit sector through education on all areas of board service. Topics covered over the five week period will include finance, fundraising, and monitoring the mission and program delivery.


This doc doesn't seem to care about his patients AT ALL. He seems to know a few things but doesn't take the time to give you info or talk. His nurses are also really nasty.
I cannot say enough good about Dr. Arnold. She is unquestionably the best pediatrician my four children have ever seen. I'm forever indebted to her for saving the life of one of my daughters the day she was born, but even beyond that, she's stellar at well-checks, empowers parents (something I haven't found true of all pediatricians), and makes everyone feel at ease. I'd had some bad experiences with previous pediatric practices, but she did so much to calm my nerves. My kids just adore her!
Dr. Ferry has little regaurd for the wellbeing of his patients. If I could give zero stars, that would be my first choice. He was and is still the very worst Dr. I have ever seen.

Kitara brez prečk je. To glasbilo je hibrid med dvema glasbiloma:

godalo - ta kitara ima vrat z gladko, brušeno ubiralko (palisander, mahagonij, ebenovina, steklo, kovina)
kitara - trup je kitarski, uglasitev tudi (E, A, D, G, H in E)

Zgodovina
Jaco Pastorius je leta 1970 začel igrati tovrstno bas kitaro - s Fender Jazz Bassa je odstranil prečke in zakital zareze ter prebrusil ubiralko. Ko je leta 1977 postal svetovno znan, ker je vstopil v skupino Weather Report, je kmalu prišlo do popularizacije fretless bas kitare in v drugi polovici sedemdesetih let je postal ta inštrument prava modna muha. Danes ga igrajo le še redki - v glavnem jazzovski basisti in ustvarjalci filmske glasbe.

Šeststrunska fretless kitara se je pojavila konec šestdesetih let. V primerjavi s fretless bas kitaro ni nikoli doživela velike popularnosti, ima pa dandanes kultni status. Fretlesskitaristi imajo v ZDA lasten festival. Namenjena je virtuozom, ki jih najdemo v zvrsteh, kot so jazz fusion, eksperimentalna glasba, progresivni rock, progresivni metal in podobno.

Svetovni fretless bas kitaristi
Jaco Pastorius, legenda fretless Fender Jazz Bassa, kariero začel v Weather Report
Bill Wyman, Rolling Stones - prvi v zgodovini uporabil fretless (1966, Paint in Black)
Jack Bruce, kontrabas, potem prečkata bas kitara - band Cream, kasneje šel na fretless - jazz
Tony Levin, studijski bas kitarist, igral v skladbi Sledgehammer - izvajalec : Peter Gabriel
Rick Danko, zasedba The Band
Pino Palladino - sredi osemdesetih igral fretless bas kitaro - v zasedbi Paul Younga
David Gilmour, kitarist zasedbe Pink Floyd - tudi fretless bas posnetki so njegovi
Sting - The Police, 1978/1983 - fretless bas kitara + vokal
Fernando Saunders - igral fretless bas kitaro tudi z Lou Reedom
John Deacon, zasedba Queen
Steve DiGorgio- Death, Control Denied

Just days after the news hit that ISIS' main propaganda officer, Mohammad al-Adnani, one of the Islamic State's most prominent leaders, the second in command of Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, as well as the unofficial spokesman of the terrorist organization, was killed (with a scandal promptly erupting between the US and Russia over who had taken him out), the power vacuum that formed at the top of the Islamic State has been promptly filled, after former Tajik Special Forces colonel Gulmurod Khalimov became the top ISIS battlefield commander in Iraq, after defecting last year and swearing jihad against the West.
The placement of Khalimov to lead the terror organization's Iraqi forces is a bit unusual for the Islamic State, who normally maintain only "second and third ranking commanders who lead militants in [Nineveh] province," according to the Al Sumaria source. These Daesh militants tend to keep a low-profile to prevent being "detected and destroyed" by US Forces who remain in a support function in Iraq explained the source.
Khalimov's high profile defection has understandably been a concern for US officials for some time, with the US State Department labeling him a Specially Designated Global Terrorist under Executive Order 13224 on September 29, 2015 designed to prevent the transfer of currency to individuals known to hold leadership roles in terror organizations. The United Nations Security Council Resolutions and al-Qaeda Sanctions Committee further added Khalimov, who is also a fugitive wanted by the Government of Tajikstan, to its sanctions list in February 2016.
There is more at zerohedge.
Please know this is the warcrimes I earlier alluded to. Those who are responsible should be tried for treason.
Now, The Vatican Canonizing Mother Theresa. As most of you know the one called Mother Teresa has been a vocal nun of the Catholic Church setting up charities, hospitals, and facilities for the poor, most notably in India. She is best known for her stances on Charity and Mercy. On Sunday September 4th The Pope canonized her or ordered she be thenceforth regarded as a Saint.
Well isn't that what the Vatican does? The Vatican is its own sovereign country, that hoards much of the world's wealth. When I see the Vatican opening its vaults of riches to feed the poor, then can countries' leaders be shamed with this 'sin'.
Critiques of Mother Teresa such as doctors visiting the facilities finding what they call museums of poverty and the filthy conditions of medical facilities. The contention they have is that the charity was pulling in millions of dollars and no good facility to show for it.
The protocols for sainthood are two miracles proven. One of the listed is a dubious case where the husband of the woman that was supposedly healed of cancer disputes the 'miracle'.
I personally do not find her to be emblematic of womanhood. She never married, had children, and never maintained a home.
I also contend that deifying a person who helped those in need instead of tearing down or refusing to be a part of that institution that caused much of the epic poverty, is like clanging of cymbals. The Vatican, through history was a resource thieving most avaricious government ever. And to be clear I am not rebuking those who worship in the catholic church. Since its inception, the Vatican has been only about the acquisition of wealth and power.
Now on to those who really deserve sainthood status. Those who are protecting our waters at the risk of their health and lives. In case you don't know, the Native American Nations have all gathered and been protesting an unlawful installation of an oil pipeline through areas that will contaminate the fresh water. The DAPL have gone even further in their crimes. They are destroying Burial Sites which are considered holy. The installation of this pipeline is a violation of treaties! Know that these are violations done to sovereign Nations.
I want everyone to recall the incident of the Bundys and the Oregon Standoff last winter. This is the same thing. For those who were telling the cowboys that they have no business on the land for it belongs to the Native Nations while permitting the Federal Government selling it to other countries, this here is the same thing. If the Native Americans were armed like those in the standoff, this story would be different. But the end is the same, the people are going to get hurt and the politicians will be paid off by the corporations and contractors.
The Yellowstone River in MT has 200 miles closed due to oil spill now…this goes on all the time!
In it he, RedsilverJ details all the markings of an operative on You Tube, and when you see news reports about a "Prominent Conspiracy Theorist" use proper judgment. These news agencies will use the photo of some guy posing with his military-like attire (to me he looked more like a cop than an infantry man) so as to give great fodder for the newscasters to drool and pontificate on. So folks, review your subscription list because the media will look at that cat's followers and can do a guilt-by-association thing on ya.
Now on to the weather. Since we all share the Earth, it would be good to have weather reports that cover the whole thing.
Suspicious Observers on You Tube has the best weather service for everyone. No longer will you be surprised when there are earthquakes or hurricanes and heatwaves. By watching their daily reports, you will see there are predictive activities in space that does affect the weather here on our blue marble. Their report for September 6th Shows a a stable filament from the sun and that means no remarkable events should occur for the next two days. Since Russia got yesterday what some say was a 6.0 earthquake, though officially reads 4.1, earthquakes are expected to shift to the west coast of South America in the next two weeks. Ghana had a huge storm surge yesterday that destroyed fishing villages. For Autumn this year, the East Coast should experience warmer temperatures than normal, the upperwestern portion of CONUS covering from southern border of Oregon to all the way to the Dakotas will have colder temperatures than usual and all, in that area, outside of those two will have nearly normal temperatures. Again, for daily reports go to Suspicious Observers on You Tube or you can click on the link in my show notes that will be posted on TFR. My notes and all links relevant to the news given today will be found there.

One small new battery, one giant leap for our energy future
The market launch of Sila's next-gen silicon anode battery technology is a critical stepping stone to the advanced electrification of everything—from mobile, to electric vehicles, and the power grid. And Sila has the vision, persistence, and the chemistry to get us there.
Today was a huge day for our company and a tremendous day for the world of battery science. With our partner WHOOP, we launched the world's first product powered with Sila science. The WHOOP 4.0 is an elegant, well-crafted wearable technology with advanced features to unlock human performance. Further, with this partnership and successful market launch, we unlocked more—a new era in energy storage.
Now, I'll be the first to admit that it seems outlandish to say that this very cool, yet small fitness wearable is a significant milestone in the critical transition to battery storage and the electrification of cars, homes, and flight. But let's look deeper, down to the molecular level where we've solved one of the biggest technical challenges in batteries with our next-gen silicon-anode material, enabling higher energy density without compromising other performance metrics. We also created a production process and scaled it, industrializing our breakthrough science. Our transformative silicon anode material and its ability to scale is what makes this day so momentous. It's real, it's in the market, and we're scaling production to meet demand.
It wasn't easy. Getting breakthrough science from the lab into real products is a nearly impossible task. It took us 10 years to get to this point. Our team has completed and tested 55,000 iterations of our technology in order to crack the science. That's why successfully introducing our conversion type lithium-ion chemistry in a mass market product today marks only the fifth fundamentally new rechargeable battery chemistry to make it from lab to commercial use. The last battery chemistry to do so was the intercalation type lithium-ion back in 1991, flavors of which power everything around us! Our team has successfully scaled our manufacturing over 1,000x to get to the point where our material can help transform consumer electronics. Another scale increase of over 100x will create enough material to power mass market electric vehicles, eventually ramping to battery storage for the grid and more.
Another thing I've learned over 10 years – delivering scale is no easy feat, nor is it fast. Anyone who says otherwise is either naively optimistic or gravely mistaken. You can't fake it 'till you make it with chemistry. Maintaining product integrity as you scale science takes years and a lot of persistence. Increasing energy density without compromising other performance metrics or the ability to scale is like walking a tightrope between two highrises. But what we have to gain as a society and as a planet is well worth the work and the wait. Here's our simple 4 step plan.
1 – Wearables and small devices
We start small. The amazing WHOOP 4.0 is the milestone solidifying this stage. Our existing plant has started to produce materials necessary for powering millions of batteries in devices like wearables, earbuds, and headsets.
2 – Mobile electronics and premium electric vehicles
We deploy broadly. Using our learnings, revenue, and investment we'll build a plant that will produce material for hundreds of millions of batteries for mobile phones, tablets, and other everyday electronics. This same plant will deliver materials that power the first tens of thousands of electric cars from our partners.
3 – Mass market electric vehicles
We scale massively. With additional learnings and revenue we'll build more plants, with production for millions of batteries for electric vehicles including cars, trucks, and public transportation.
4 – Grid and renewable energy
We finish the job. Finally, we'll use a global footprint of automotive production to deploy our technology on the grid, enabling more cost effective storage that makes intermittent renewables firmly reliable.
All the while we'll use our revenue to fund further R&D, pushing the performance curve of battery technology and driving down the cost as we lay out in our white paper.
This is an ambitious plan. We're an ambitious company. But we're also practical. We've put in a decade of work to get here. And while some milestones are close on the horizon—like scale for mobile and premium electric vehicles—we expect that it will take another decade or more to achieve our full vision. We've also assembled an amazing team to do this, with leaders from academia and industry. Our scientists and engineers hail from diverse fields including oil and gas, chemicals, solar, and semiconductors. Our people strive for excellence, and are curious, passionate, compassionate, and full of purpose to build a more sustainable future. I couldn't be more proud to be a part of this team.
With our first product launch, we at Sila celebrate the rare accomplishment of delivering breakthrough science from the lab to the mass market. But our work doesn't stop here. We want to be the company to accelerate a new energy future. It's a hell of a challenge. And one we live to solve.
Today, our materials helped transform a wearable. Tomorrow, it will transform our energy future.

If you default on your mortgage, the lender can go to court to take the property you mortgaged or sell it to pay the debt. This process is called "foreclosure".
2.1 What if I have no equity in my home?
2.2 What if I have a second mortgage registered against my home?
A mortgage is a loan used to buy a home or other property. The lender, such as a bank or trust company, provides part of the purchase price of the property. The borrower promises to pay the lender back, plus interest.
Under the law in BC, a mortgage gives the lender a "charge" — meaning an interest or a right — against the property being purchased. That charge gives the lender rights if the borrower "defaults" on the mortgage. The most common way for a borrower to default is by not making payments under the mortgage as promised.
The lender can start legal proceedings to take the property or sell it to pay the mortgage debt. This legal process is called foreclosure.
Following a missed or late mortgage payment, you don't automatically lose your home. Lenders don't want to foreclose if they don't have to, as it's an expensive process and takes time. A lender will likely not start to foreclose until after two or three months of missed mortgage payments.
If you miss a mortgage payment, the lender will usually send a reminder letter. If they don't hear from you or receive the missed payment, the lender will then follow up with a demand letter.
In fact, under the law, the lender must send you a demand letter before they can start legal proceedings to take your home.
If you have a short-term problem, like a temporary layoff from work, you may be able to negotiate with the lender. For example, you might offer to make smaller payments for a time, and add the amounts you fall behind to the total amount of your mortgage. Or, you might offer to make smaller payments for a while and a larger catch-up payment later. Most lenders would rather make some sort of deal and keep the mortgage in good standing, instead of starting foreclosure proceedings in court.
The law tries to help you if you have a good chance of paying what you owe and if you try to get your finances in order. Only in the worst cases are you likely to lose your home and any equity you've built up in it. Equity is the amount your home value exceeds your mortgage loan and any other debts registered against your home.
After a default, if you don't reinstate the mortgage (by paying the amounts you owe) or redeem it (by paying the mortgage off fully) within the time set out in the demand letter, the lender can start foreclosure proceedings. Usually, this happens after you've missed three months of payments. But it can happen sooner.
If there's a Supreme Court registry near where your home is located, the lender must start the proceedings there. You will receive a document called a "petition" for foreclosure. This is the lender's notice to you they are bringing a legal action to get back the money they loaned you.
Get legal advice right away. If you want to protect yourself and take part in the court proceedings, you must file a response to the petition. You have to file this response within 21 days of getting the petition. You must file the response, together with supporting affidavits, at the court address shown on the petition. You must also deliver two copies of your response to the lender.
Once you take these steps, no one can take any steps in the foreclosure without notifying you. If you don't file a response, the foreclosure will go ahead without you, and you won't be able to protect yourself.
After you file the response, you will get a document called a notice of hearing. This sets the date of a court hearing where the lender will ask for an "order nisi", the initial order in a foreclosure action.
For step-by-step guidance on responding to a foreclosure petition, see People's Law School's information on if you're facing foreclosure, at peopleslawschool.ca.
At the first court hearing in a foreclosure action, the lender asks the court for an order nisi. This order sets the length of the "redemption period", which is the time period during which you can redeem, or pay off, the mortgage. The order nisi also includes a personal judgment against you for the amount you owe.
Under the law in BC, the default redemption period is six months. However, the court can order that it be shortened or extended. One good reason to attend the court hearing is to ask the judge for as much time as possible to get the money to pay off the mortgage or sell the home.
Courts rarely order a redemption period longer than six months. What is more common is to apply later to extend the redemption period beyond six months. You will need to show you have enough equity in the property to pay the lender the amount owed. You also need to show there's a reasonable chance of payment within the added time.
During the redemption period, the lender (or another creditor) may ask the court for an order for "conduct of sale". This order gives the creditor control over selling your home to cover what you owe.
You might be able to oppose the order by showing you have equity in the property or you are making efforts to sell the property yourself. You can argue that your efforts to sell the property are preferable, since creditors may be inclined to want to sell the property faster, at a lower price, than you would like.
If the court gives the lender or another creditor conduct of sale, you cannot sell the property yourself. But you may be able to oppose the approval of the sale. Court approval must be obtained for any sale. The creditor with conduct of sale presents a buyer's offer at a court hearing. You may be able to argue the offer isn't enough, and that more time should be allowed to get a better price. That said, where there is more than one offer, the property will almost certainly be sold.
During the redemption period, you have options, depending on your circumstances.
One option is to redeem the mortgage (pay it off). To get the money for this, you can try to borrow from another lender or a relative. You might seek a longer repayment period or a lower interest rate. Doing so could allow you to pay off the mortgage and lower your monthly payments. However, getting a loan in the amount needed may be difficult. Most lenders look at your income to decide whether to give you a mortgage and your income may be what caused you to fall behind in your mortgage payments in the first place, resulting in the foreclosure action.
Or you can try to sell the home. You could invite several real estate agents in your area to look through your home and tell you what they think it would sell for. Be honest with them about your situation, then choose the realtor you trust the most or feel most comfortable with. If you sell the home, you can use the money from the sale, first to pay any property tax you owe, and then to pay the mortgage and other charges registered against the title, including court costs. If there's any money left over, you keep it. But if the money from selling your home doesn't completely pay off all the lenders, you may have to pay them the difference.
The final order for foreclosure is called an "order absolute". It comes after the redemption period ends. If the lender applies for an order absolute and the court grants it, the home then belongs to the lender and you must leave it. You lose all rights to the home.
If the lender gets an order absolute, and registers title in its own name, it cannot make any further claims against you. It can sell the home, but if the sale does not produce enough money to pay off the mortgage, you do not have to pay the difference.
Lenders do not usually ask the court for an order absolute. Instead, they more commonly ask the court for an order for conduct of sale, to sell your home to pay off the loan. If the money from selling your home doesn't completely pay off the mortgage loan, the lender can attempt to collect the difference from you, relying on the personal judgment against you in the "order nisi".
What if I have no equity in my home?
If you owe more than you can sell the home for, you will probably want to get out of the situation with as little expense and trouble as possible. However, you should still take action instead of ignoring the problem. You may want to work with the lender to minimize costs by agreeing to the foreclosure. Normally, you would only do this if the lender will give you a full release from your mortgage, meaning you won't owe the lender any more money. If the lender won't agree to this, you can simply let the foreclosure proceedings go ahead and use the time as a rent-free period to get your finances back in order. If any other people or companies with debts registered against your home are not paid from the money from selling your home in the foreclosure, you will still have to deal with them. Otherwise, they can sue you for any money you still owe them.
What if I have a second mortgage registered against my home?
After foreclosure proceedings, any mortgages or charges registered before the lender's mortgage continue and are still valid. However, any that were registered after the lender's mortgage are cancelled. The holders of those charges lose their security. For example, if you have two mortgages on your home, and the first lender forecloses, the second lender will have to pay off the first lender or lose its security. Then the second lender would have to try to get you to pay its loss.

Crypto Analyst Michaël van de Poppe Says Bitcoin May See 'Painful' Period If This Vital Support Level Crumbles
Benzinga · 01/07/2023 14:07
Amsterdam-based popular cryptocurrency analyst Michaël van de Poppe says Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC) will likely plummet if it fails to see buying support above a key price level.
In a recent video presentation, Van de Poppe said, "The importance lies on the level at $16,750. It needs to hold there if it wants something. If we're not going to be holding there, it's going to be a relatively painful period for the markets."
"We are probably looking at new lows if the markets will not jump above $16,700. And if you look at the altcoins, it clearly shows the same view," he added.
#Bitcoin is again at support, but not fancying longs too much at this point.
It needs to hold above $16.6K to avoid a puke to low $16K and to sustain upwards momentum.
In that regard, with the data today, I'd be looking at bit lower for longs towards $17K. pic.twitter.com/6VQvjR9IeX
— Michaël van de Poppe (@CryptoMichNL) January 6, 2023

Last year, when BTC touched the $30,000 price level, Van de Poppe said it could reach $31,800.
At the time of writing, Bitcoin was trading at $16,941, up over 2% in the last seven days.
Talking about Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH), Van de Poppe says it could be heading to lower price targets.
"ETH has not been continuing the rally at this point. So we are falling here, which means that if we can't pick up the pace, I'm looking at $1,220 to $1,230," he said.
At the time of writing, ETH was trading at $1,264, rising over 5% in the last seven days.

Some fish are just bigger than others. Check out some of the most epic fish ever caught, and for the tuna drama, tune into Nat Geo Channel on April 1st at 10pm for the premiere of Wicked Tuna.
The 27-Pound lobster was caught off the coast of Maine and is about the size of a 3-year-old toddler.
The largest catfish ever caught on record measures just over 9 feet. After being caught, Thai villagers tried to keep it alive but despite great efforts, it sadly passed away.
This gigantic freshwater Stingray weighed in at over 564 pounds and took 90 minutes to wrangle out of the water.
During a standard fall salmon survey, DFG biologists happened upon the king of all salmon. This beast was 51 inches long and weighed over 88 pounds. Normally, salmon weigh between 20 and 30 pounds.
The squid, which was captured in Arctic ocean, weighed about 1,089 pounds and was over 6 meters long. The previous "largest squid in the world" was captured in New Zealand and weighed 992 pounds.
Feast your eyes on this fish. Captured in Kona, Hawaii in 1984, this Pacific Blue Marlin weighed 1,656 pounds and was 17 feet long.. And as you can probably imagine, this puppy took about 2 hours to be reeled in.
What's 400-pounds and takes over an hour to get out of the water? The biggest Black Sea Bass ever caught!
Meet the largest crab ever caught. Weighing in around 33 pounds, this meaty beast could easily keep a family of 5 full for a week.
Reports surfaced of a 23 foot long whale shark caught in the Mediterranean, but the actual length was 21 feet. Still, not TOO shabby.
Just imagine trying to reel in this terrifying fish. The world's largest Alligator Gar was caught in Texas, measured 8'3" and weighed 230 pounds!

The name «laminating» comes from the Latin «lamina» which means "layer". The layered composition of this technology combines the strengths of paper and resin.
The top layer is very hard and is great at resisting scratches. This makes it more durable and susceptible to scratches and dents.
We offer a wide variety of laminates comprising surfaces perfectly harmonized with natural appearance and perfectly coordinated surfaces.
FOR EVERY APPLICATION THE RIGHT LAMINATE QUALITY.
Laminates are applied in many different fields. Depending on the purpose there are various laminate qualities to choose from.
Besides the visual aspect of the selected decor, the texture of the surface plays a significant role. The selected texture determines the texture geometry as well as the gloss level. The texture is perfectly matched to the decor image.
Depending on the scope of application, laminates have the necessary properties to meet all requirements of a versatile design element. With impact strength and scratch resistance the most essential functions of the surface stress are defined. By choosing the appropriate quality of laminate, those features are significantly influenced.

"Fair enough." Marco replied. "Is it just the kid?"
"Yeah, though Kazarian waits outside for the kid while he's here."
"Peter says it's cause he'll be less likely to kill him out there... But he might of been joking."
Marco shrugged his shoulders. "Hard to tell in this line of work."
Jacob nodded, "True... But I trust you will protect my brother?"
"Would I bother coming here otherwise if I wasn't going to?" Marco replied ruderly. "Of course I'm going to."
Jacob nodded slowly, "Good because if he gets hurt I'll...."
"You'll what?" Marco asked curiously.
"I'll make sure you regret it..." Jacob answered.
Marco laughed at Jacob. "You will huh? And how would someone like you do that?"
"I have my ways..." Jacob answered, "I know people that can do it."
Marco rolled his eyes in response. "What people? Odds are they know me. They probably wouldn't dare."
"Thats for me to know and you won't find out unless you cross my brother." Jacob said softly.
"Whatever." Marco responded rudely. "When did he actually want me to start?"
"Tonight, he has to go to one of his bars and check books." Jacob answered.
"Hm. Sounds fun." Marco muttered sarcastically.
"Just keep my brother safe, this club is on the outskirts of our turf."
"Would I bother taking the job if I wasn't going to do it?" Marco sighed. "He'll be safe."
Jacob sighed, but nodded before turning to leave the room.
Peter sat in his office readying to go out.
Nathaniel frowned and followed Jacob.
Marco shook his head and laid down for a bit before getting ready himself.
Jacob sighed before leaning against Nathaniel.
Peter had changed into a jeans and button up shirt as he waited.
"Are you alright?" Nathaniel asked, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Marco stood leaning against the wall outside Peter's room once he was ready, dressed in a dark red shirt and black pants. He was holding a jacket hung lover one armband had both a knife and a gun hidden on him.
Jacob sighed, "I'm just worried..." He answered.
Peter stepped out into the hall, sliding a black jacket over his black shirt.
Marco nodded in greeting. "Ready?"


Comparison. We all have done it atleast once or twice in our lives. Admit it. Whether if it's that one friend who you think is perfect or your boyfriend's ex girlfriend who he can't seem to stop talking about, a sibling who seems to be your parent's favourite, or whoever that person is we all have that one person we like to compare ourselves to. It starts out innocent at first and then eventually, if we don't kick that habit we become obsessed and watch their every move, their every social media posts, then the hate comes, and the rest is history.

It is not necessary for the hair to be cut prior to the transplant surgery. FUT surgeries require the removal of a small strip from the scalp. If patients wish to hide this scar, the hairs surrounding the donor site must be at least 2 centimetres in length.
Generally, hair transplant surgeons will cut or shave the hair during the transplant procedure. The donor sites must be shaved in order to precisely remove the hair follicles via FUT or FUE procedures.
Due to the inability of patients to predict the length of hair necessary for the hair transplant procedures, it is best to refrain from cutting the hair prior to surgery.

When Stefano Greco describes a classical musical passage he plans to play, it is like he's describing a movie.
Greco brings his visual and visceral style to Miller Symphony Hall for the next performance in the intimate "Chamber On Stage" series, 3 p.m. Jan. 27.
In Beethoven's "Les Adieux" sonata, which is divided into three movements, "The Farewell," "The Absence" and "The Return," Greco says the music conjures up the images of what's happening and you "can actually feel these things in the music.
"Beethoven describes all the faces of leaving," he says. "In the first movement, you can hear the horses riding away.
"In the second movement, you can feel the sadness Beethoven feels as he is missing the person.
For the series, Greco will play on the stage, but with his back to the orchestra seats in which the audience usually sits. The audience is seated at the back of the stage, facing the performers.
Diane Wittry, music director and conductor of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra, says the unusual set-up creates the feeling of an intimate space, while still taking full advantage of the acoustics and grandeur of the large Miller Symphony Hall.
It's the perfect way to experience Greco's piano performance of pieces from Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin and Liszt.
He says he will begin with an homage to Mozart, whose birthday is Jan. 27.
Greco likes to draw attention to the relationships between composers and says Mozart was a great composer who anticipated Beethoven and Beethoven, in turn, took inspiration from Mozart.
"It was a perfect match," he says.
After intermission, Greco will play two of Chopin's nocturnes.
"They are amazingly beauitful, very romantic and very easy to understand," he says.
He says Chopin was a friend of Liszt, and for his final piece he is doing Lizt's "Dante Symphony," inspired by Dante's "Divine Comedy," in which Dante tours the Circles of Hell.
Greco says the music is particularly expressive in the story of Paolo and Francesca, adulterous lovers who were killed by Francesca's husband and are being punished in Hell.
"In the music you can feel every emotion, even the moment when her husband kills them and their souls in pain in Hell," he says.
Greco says he has always felt an emotional connection to music.
He says he was drawn to the piano because it is the "instrument that gives you the most power.
Greco's goal is to play and record music as alive as if it was conceived in the same moment of the performance.
As a Bach specialist, he has been invited to perform his music worldwide. He performed Bach's "Goldberg Variations" on a tour of the United States, Canada and Japan, which brought him to prestigious venues such as the Opera City Concert Hall, Tokyo, and Alice Tully Hall, Lincoln Center, New York City.
He was recently invited to present and perform the "Goldberg Variations" for the European Commission in Brussels.
Greco's involvement with Bach's unfinished "The Art of Fugue" produced several discoveries, resulting in conferences and concerts in Brussels, Rome and London. It also led to him write a book, "The Language of J.S. Bach: Enigmas and Their Resolution," as well as give lectures and master classes.
Greco played with members of the Allentown Symphony Orchestra for a 2018 concert in the "Arts at St John's series at St. John's Evangelical Lutheran Church, Allentown.
