Ever wondered how many facial expressions one kid can make? Buckle up.
It's always exciting when a ferociously talented weirdo gets rightful attention from the mainstream, and such has been the case with pop artist Sia in the past year with her surprise hit album 1000 Forms of Fear, which fostered hits like "Chandelier." Though Sia's next album is all recorded and ready to go, she's still cranking out music videos for 1000 Forms, and released "Big Girls Cry" featuring frequent 12-year-old collaborator and dancer Maddie Ziegler, who happens to have the most expressive face we've ever encountered.

How the Boulevard of Flags came about
The idea for the Boulevard of Flags came into being after Memorial Day in 1995. We wanted a way to honor the veterans in the Eastlake area year-round, not just on Veterans Day, Memorial Day or July 4th. They served our country and we wanted to show how much we appreciate their sacrifice and dedication to our Country. Originally the goal was to have approximately 200 to 300 flags displayed. Through the generosity of donations from Veterans groups and local businesses we initially raised over $25,000 allowing for the purchase of over 500 flags. We honor 26 Servicemen who were either killed in the line of duty or missing in action from World Wars I to Operation Iraqi Freedom. Eighteen flags flying at half-staff honor these 26 Servicemen still today.
Olympic Torch, Eternal Flame
June 10, 1996 the Olympic Torch made its way through the United States in route from Greece to Atlanta Georgia for the 1996 Olympics, passing through the City of Eastlake to light the Eternal Flame. The Eternal Flame was donated by the East Ohio Gas Company and burns as a commemoration of the Olympic Torch passing through the City of Eastlake. This memorable event attracted about 5,000 people to the area.

Akito is from Shizuoka, Japan.
Akito grew up in the tea farms of Shizuoka and fell in love with the beauty of tea and tea farms and followed his passion to deeply learn about Japanese tea and his dream to show its beauty to the world.
READ FULL STORY...
We are two best friends and tea lovers who left their jobs and ventured into the beautiful Tea Farms of Japan.
We spent our days helping farmers and indulged ourselves in the beautiful process of making tea and spent our time with tea farmers in some of the most magical tea farms.
In our journey, we noticed how difficult it is to deeply learn about Japanese tea and experience Japanese tea farms, as all of the farms and tea factories are private and are not open for the public. We also noticed the issue of the increasing number of aging farmers and abanded farms.
This inspired us to shine a big bright light on the tea farmers and the beautiful farms to help connect all tea lovers from around the world to amazing Japanese tea and allowing all tea lovers to not only visit the beautiful farms but to also deeply experience the beautiful process of making Japanese tea and connect with tea farmers! We strongly believe that every tea lover should have access to the best tea and the most beautiful tea farms Japan has to offer.
Our dream is to show the true beauty of Japanese tea and tea farms and to support the tea farmers and the tea industry.
From our heart to yours, and from our teapot to your cup, we are, The Tea Bridge!
Thank you for supporting our dream!

The Veterans Affairs Department has set plans to kick off the first two of several mHealth apps designed to give vets easier and quicker access to healthcare data. The apps, Summary of Care and Blue Button, both provide access to EHR data, but Blue Button lets users create a PDF file to share data with providers outside the VA. The two apps will be the first to be housed in the VA's upcoming app store, a $9.3-million project due to be completed this fall. The app store will support apps across several platforms, including iOS, Android, Windows Mobile and BlackBerry.

Guest Article – Green Cleaning at School: New Toolkit for Workers, Schools, and Communities
By Claire Barnett
Keeping schools clean is hard work with both 'elbow grease' and cleaning products. But unfortunately, in most schools, they are also subjecting themselves—and vulnerable children—to a dangerous mix of toxic chemicals that can cause injury and illnesses. The National Collaborative Work Group on Green Cleaning and Chemical Policy Reform (the Collaborative), a partnership of labor, health, and environment groups, is helping schools nationwide switch to certified green cleaning products: safer, less toxic products that still get the job done very effectively. Certification standards are set to rate products for comprehensive environment and human health protection and ensure the products actually work.
Every school day, 20 percent of the nation is in a school building. That's 56 million children and seven million adults (3/4 of them women) packed into 130,000 facilities. Schools are four times more densely occupied than office buildings, and more heavily used. Children are more vulnerable to toxic chemicals than adults.
Many people mistakenly believe that cleaning these busy and crowded buildings requires harsh, industrial-strength products. A whopping 25% of chemicals found in cleaning products used in schools are hazardous. Many of these products are extremely dangerous to mix and use and can cause serious burns to the eyes or skin. In fact, these burns represent 20 percent of reported injuries to custodial workers.
Hazardous chemicals are also a threat in less obvious ways. Fumes and residues from cleaning products pollute the air inside school buildings, with effects ranging from headaches and dizziness to cancer and asthma. It's not surprising to learn that custodians—who are in the most frequent and direct contact with cleaning chemicals—have one of the highest occupational asthma rates among all workers. Teachers and other staff suffer too, and so do the children they work so hard to educate, who are more vulnerable than adults are to chemical threats.
There is a better way to clean our schools.
Green cleaning is safe, affordable, and effective. To help schools phase in the use of certified green cleaning products now required by law for all public and private schools in New York State and City, the Collaborative has designed a free, online and unique training tool to help schools and child care centers: the Cleaning for Healthy Schools Toolkit. Produced without any input from the chemical industry and field tested in ten states, including with child care workers in the Bronx, the Toolkit is a practical guide that can be customized to meet the particular needs of different schools or audiences.
AFSCME Local 1707 was one of the first groups to test the Toolkit materials.
In addition to AFSCME, the Collaborative's labor representatives are New York State United Teachers, MassCOSH, the National Association of School Nurses, and the American Federation of Teachers, in addition to Healthy Schools Network, INFORM, Green Purchasing Institute, and Green Schools Initiative and the National Education Association – Health Information Network.
For information please visit the Toolkit's web at www.cleaningforhealthyschools.org and listen/watch a presentation on how to get started and how to avoid hazardous products in schools

April 2022 – Two special issues
25/04/2022 Announcement, NewsRagnheiður E. Þorsteinsdóttir
Issue 17(2)
This new special issue of NoMe contains four fieldwork reports on Greenland and one report about the researchers themselves. These reports give valuable input into various perspectives related to Greenland, colonisation, decolonisation, and the work of the Greenland Reconciliation Commission. The field reports are published in both English and Greenlandic.
"Perspectives on Colonialism in Greenland", by Martin Binachon, Rachael Lorna Johnstone and Jonathan Wood, addresses some of the main questions concerning how Greenlanders experience colonialism today, how Greenland can decolonise, and whether the Greenlanders from Avanersuaq or the far northwest of Greenland have experienced colonialism differently. The report discusses also whether the Reconciliation Commission contributed to decolonisation in Greenland and how the opinions of Greenlanders influence decision-making processes about resource activities.
"Colonisation then and now in Avanersuaq", by Martin Binachon, is a fieldwork report on how colonialism affects the Inughuit People of Avanersuaq today. The author visited Qaanaaq, Ilulissat and Nuuk in October and November 2021, in order to find that out and his report gives important insights into the matter.
"The Greenland Reconciliation Commission: One more step towards independence?", by Rachael Lorna Johnstone, is a field report on the Greenland Reconciliation Commission (2014-2017) and its work. The author discusses and examines how people feel about it today and how the Commission's conclusions relate to other strategies for decolonisation in Greenland. This Report is based on research conducted in Nuuk by the author in October and November 2021.
"Seeking Community Consent for Resource Development in Greenland" is a field report by Jonathan Wood on the decision-making processes related to developing or not some of the most abundant deposits of rare earth elements (REEs) on the planet. The author examines, among others, how Greenlanders feel about these possible changes and whether the consultation processes listen to their opinions.
This new special issue of NoMe contains eleven editor-reviewed long abstracts describing forthcoming research articles on sacred sites in the circumpolar region, plus two introductory articles by the issue's editors. We are proud to be able to collaborate with this international research group pursuing a joint project on such an important issue. The long abstracts and related topics are as follows:
"Preserving Sacred Sites in the Arctic: Lessons from elsewhere?", by Akwoni Ayonghe, who reflects on whether Cameroonian indigenous experiences in land co-management can be applied tosacred sites in the Arctic without jepoardizing their cultural importance.
"'To be or not to be?' Tourism development plans and the voice of the river", by Anna Stammler-Gossmann, reflects on the sensitivity to the tourism devleopment plans in relation to the Amma River that has an iconic status as the most beautiful and the cleanest river in the whole region of the Republic of Skha Yakutia.
"Protection of Sacred Sites – Between Legal Pluralism and Cultural Ecology", by Dawid Bunikowski, addresses the combination of the theory of cultural ecology with the theory of legal pluralism, so as to help recognise indigenous customary laws in the Arctic.
"Recognizing Innu Sacred Natural Sites as Aboriginal-led Protected Areas by UAPASHKUSS: Innu Sacred Sites Guardians", by Dolorés André, Thora Herrmann and Veronique Bussière, discusses the work of the UAPASHKUSS, an indigenous apolitical group in Canada, and the importance of Indigenous-led governance and conservation systems in the preservation of natural sacred sites.
"Protection of Sámi Sacred Sites and Culturally Sensitive Tourism in Sápmi Under the Threats of Land-use", by Eleonora Alareisto, discusses the growing phenomenon of tourism in Sámi homeland area and the various impacts of its expansion with regard to Sámi sacred sites, which are called sieidi.
"How Sacred Should Spiritual Knowledge Be? Human-spirit relations in the Nenets tundra", by Florian Stammer, highlights the ways in which Nenets people in the Russian Arctic display or hide their relations with the local spirits. The contribution is meant to take a long-durée perspective of 20 years.
"Sacred Natural Sites in the Arctic North: Living memory, traditions,, cultural heritage and exploitation through tourism and inadequate protection", by Francis Joy, is a description of a planned research on threats to Sámi sacred sites on present-day Finnish territory because of fires, camping, rock-climbing and leisure activities, among others.
"Sacred Places as Cultural Ecologies: Making space for the intangible", by Patrick Dillon, discusses various forms of sacred places and how they are experienced and understood in many different ways. The author approaches sacred places as "cultural ecologies".
"Sacred Sites: Destruction or counter-hegemonic resistance?", by René Kuppe, discusses a particular form of ongoing colonization of non-European societies, hardly noticed or even discussed: the destruction of traditional beliefs and worldviews of Indigenous Peoples by fundamentalist Christians, Muslims and Hindus .
"The Nenets' Sacred Places: The singing mountain Yanganya Pe", by Roza Laptander, casts light on the sacred mountains in the Polar Ural Mountains that are revered by the Nenets.
"Climate Change and Underwater Cultural Heritage. Utilizing international law to empower communities to protect their coastal sacred sites and sea-level rise", by Stefan Kirchner, discusses coastal communities across most of the Arctic and the need for them to consider the impacts of sea-level rise on their communities, including sacred sites. For that purpose, international law can be utilized to protect sacred sites that are, or that will be, located under water as cultural heritage.
We thank most warmly all the contributors for their contributions, which ensure the continued relevance and usefulness of Nordicum-Mediterraneum as the online, free, open-access, multi- and inter-disciplinary forum that it has endeavoured to be since its inception in 2005.

Without that laws, Mr. Biden is left with govt actions to advance his agenda. But that authority additionally faces challenges. In February the Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case introduced by coal corporations and Republican-led states to restrict the authority of the Environmental Protection Agency to manage greenhouse gasoline emissions.
"All bets are off with this Supreme Court," stated John Podesta, a former prime aide to President Barack Obama, talking at a current panel dialogue on local weather change. "It's definitely a challenge."
The photo voltaic farms accredited on Tuesday are often known as the Arica and Victory Pass initiatives. According to the Interior Department, they are going to be photovoltaic photo voltaic initiatives and can generate a complete of as much as 465 megawatts of electrical energy with as much as 400 megawatts of battery storage. The mixed initiatives would price about $689 million to construct, in keeping with the company, which referred to as them an "infrastructure investment."
The Bureau of Land Management additionally is anticipated in coming days to approve a separate 500-megawatt photovoltaic plan often known as the Oberon photo voltaic undertaking. Located on 2,700 acres of public land in Riverside County, it's anticipated to generate 500 megawatts of renewable vitality and energy practically 142,000 properties, the company stated.
"The efficient deployment of renewable energy projects will create good-paying jobs and are crucial in achieving the Biden-Harris administration's goal of a carbon pollution-free power sector by 2035," Tracy Stone-Manning, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, stated in a press release.
Meanwhile, the company additionally stated it was soliciting curiosity for utility-scale photo voltaic vitality improvement on practically 90,000 acres of public land inside what it referred to as photo voltaic vitality zones in Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico.

Actuarial Science | Fastweb
Actuarial science is the discipline that applies mathematical and statistical methods to assess risk in insurance, finance and other industries and professions. Actuaries are professionals trained in this discipline. In many countries, actuaries must demonstrate their competence by passing a series of rigorous professional examinations.
Actuarial science includes a number of interrelated subjects, including mathematics, probability theory, statistics, finance, economics, and computer science. Historically, actuarial science used deterministic models in the construction of tables and premiums. The science has gone through revolutionary changes since the 1980s due to the proliferation of high speed computers and the union of stochastic actuarial models with modern financial theory (Frees 1990).
Many universities have undergraduate and graduate degree programs in actuarial science. In 2010, a study published by job search website CareerCast ranked actuary as the #1 job in the United States (Needleman 2010). The study used five key criteria to rank jobs: environment, income, employment outlook, physical demands, and stress. A similar study by U.S. News & World Report in 2006 included actuaries among the 25 Best Professions that it expects will be in great demand in the future (Nemko 2006).

Buhari Calls OBJ from London
Ibadan to Get Master Plan After 188 Years
The Osun State Election Petition Tribunal has removed Mr Ademola Adeleke as Governor of the state.
The tribunal chaired by Justice Tertse Kume sacked the former Senator via a judgement delivered on Friday in Osogbo, the state capital.
Two of the three judges of the tribunal said Mr Adegboyega Oyetola of the All Progressives Congress (APC) was the winner of the governorship election held last year.
They held that the Certificate of Return should be withdrawn from Mr Adeleke of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) and issued to Mr Oyetola.
According to the judges, the APC was able to prove beyond reasonable doubt that Mr Adeleke won the poll through irregularities, including over-voting in some polling units.
Justice Kume, who read the judgement, said Mr Oyetola scored the majority lawful votes of 314,931 against the 219,666 votes garnered by Mr Adeleke.
In a terse reaction, the state government, via a post on the Osun State Government Facebook post, hinted that the judgement would be appealed at the appellate court.
"No cause for alarm. Appeal is the destination.
"There are two judgements given by the tribunal, one favours PDP and the other u favour if the petitioner. The next battle moves to appeal court by both parties. Status quo remains as Governor Ademola Jackson Nurudeen Adeleke remains in office," the post said.

Tinubu Never Blamed Buhari for Fuel Scarcity, Others—Onanuga
The Director of Media and Publicity of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Presidential Campaign Council (PCC), Mr Bayo Onanuga, has said the party's presidential candidate, Mr Bola Tinubu, did not blame President Muhammadu Buhari for the current challenges in the country.
On Wednesday, during his campaign in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Mr Tinubu accused some powerful persons were behind the current scarcity of petrol in Nigeria, as well as the scarcity of the new Naira notes.
President Buhari is the Minister of Petroleum Resources, and fuel scarcity has remained for months under his watch. He also approved the redesigning of the Naira when Mr Godwin Emefiele, the governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), brought the proposal to him.
But while speaking yesterday, Mr Tinubu said, "We will use our PVCs to take over government from them. If they like, let them create a fuel crisis; even if they say there is no fuel, we will trek to vote.
"They are full of mischief, they could say there is no fuel. They have been scheming to create a fuel crisis but forget about it. Relax, I, Asiwaju, have told you that the issue of fuel supply will be permanently addressed," he said at the campaign rally.
"Whoever wants to eat the honey embedded in a mountain won't worry about the axe. Is that not so? And if you want to eat palm kernel, you would bring a stone and use it to break it; then the kernel will come out. It's not easy to…
"Let them increase the price of fuel, let them continue to hoard fuel, only them know where they have hoarded fuel, they hoarded money, they hoarded naira; we will go and vote, and we will win even if they changed the ink on Naira notes. Whatever their plans, it will come to nought," he added.
His comments generated mixed reactions, with some commentators saying he was indirectly indicting Mr Buhari for the crisis facing the country.
But Mr Onanuga rebuffed this, saying the opposition Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) was plotting to "create a wedge between our presidential candidate and President Muhammadu Buhari."
According to him, the former Governor of Lagos State was only empathising "with the Nigerian people facing the dual crises of fuel and new Naira notes scarcity."
"For the records, Asiwaju Tinubu, during the APC campaign rally at Abeokuta on Wednesday, in his statement, did not mention, blame or accuse President Muhammadu Buhari for the current challenges in the country.
"Asiwaju Tinubu was only adverting the government's attention to the sabotage being carried out by some Fifth Columnists in the system, possibly working in cahoots with the PDP.
"The CBN officials, including Governor Godwin Emefiele, have said many times that enough new Naira notes have been supplied to the banks, yet our people complain that they have not been able to get the new notes.
"In recent days, many ATMs are either not working, or when working, they are dispensing the old notes, just a few days to the January 31 deadline.
"Similarly, Asiwaju Tinubu is aware of the salutary efforts by President Buhari to end the fuel queues by chairing a 14-man panel. Yet the queues and agony continue.
"For a presidential candidate, who cares about the suffering of our people, he has a duty to warn the government that its efforts to make life better for Nigerians are being sabotaged on several fronts.
"Our presidential candidate only re-echoed what is well known and acknowledged, even by President Buhari himself, at different fora: That there are Fifth Columnists in and outside of government who often throw spanners in the works against good intentions and programmes of the government.
"How does an advisory genuinely made by Asiwaju Tinubu to protect and create goodwill for the government of his party become an attack? It can only be so in the jaundiced view of the PDP," a part of the statement issued on Thursday said.

Holy Holy
Holy Holy have just released their fourth studio album Hello My Beautiful World to extensive critical acclaim including 4 star reviews from NME, Rolling Stone and the AU Review, along with being a triple j Feature Album.
Recorded in a series of modest studios and spare rooms in Tasmania and Victoria, the album features top 5 triple j most-played tracks 'How You Been', 'Port Rd' and 'The Aftergone'. Built upon a foundation of electronic beats and rolling synths, the record combines lush string arrangements, May-esque guitar riffs and chanted vocals to produce a heady and persuasive mix. It moves fluidly through a collection of feverish moods and atmospheres, unfolding unpredictably and building to a series of fierce and manic highs.
Their previous album My Own Pool of Light received an ARIA nomination for Best Rock Album, a J Award nomination for Album Of The Year as well as a triple j feature album on release + was voted in at number 5 on triple j listener's Best Albums of 2019. The singles 'Teach Me About Dying' and 'Maybe You Know' both achieved Gold sales in Australia, and placed at #61 and #50 respectively in triple j's Hottest 100 of 2019, as well as Faces, which hit #1 most played on triple j. Their sophomore record Paint was released in 2017, with a #7 Aria Chart debut in Australia, and included 'True Lovers', which has achieved Platinum sales in Australia, and hit #40 in triple j's Hottest 100.
Holy Holy have consistently sold out headline tours across Australia, including recent shows at The Tivoli in Brisbane, and the Forum in Melbourne, and have played festivals including Falls Festival and Groovin The Moo national runs, Splendour In The Grass, Bluesfest, Woodford, Yours & Owls. They have toured three times through the UK, The Netherlands, Germany and Spain, selling out shows and playing festivals such as Primavera, London Calling, The Great Escape, Liverpool Music Week and Reeperbahn.
Rolling Blackouts C.F.
After years spent looking out at landscapes and loved ones and an increasingly unstable world, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever have turned their gaze inward, to their individual pasts and the places that inform them, on their second record, Sideways to New Italy.
Lead by singer-songwriter-guitarists Tom Russo, Joe White and Fran Keaney, the guitar-pop five-piece returned home to Australia after the relentless touring schedule that came following the release of their critically regarded debut 'Hope Downs'. After feeling the literal and metaphorical ground under their feet had shifted, the band began grasping for something reliable.
For Keaney, that translated into writing "pure romantic fiction" and consciously avoiding the temptation of angsty break-up songs, while Russo looked north to a "bizarre place" that captured the feeling of manufacturing a sense of home when his own had disappeared.
The record's lead single Cars in Space is emblematic of the band's approach to songwriting. After arriving at an instinctual space while jamming, they bottle the specific chemistry that comes of the five of them locking into one another, and "reverse-engineer them into a weird pop song", White explains. The panicky helplessness of realising a break-up is imminent is brought to life not just through Keaney's lyrics, but sonically through a spiral of three guitars, duelling and dancing around one another in a way Rolling Blackouts have mastered.
The record's very present geographic identity emerged from the band losing their grip on their own, whether that was through the pressure of touring, the dissolution of relationships, a frustrating distance from their daily lives – or some combination of all three – that came from being slingshotted all over the world, playing sold out headline tours and festivals including Coachella, Governors Ball, Primavera Sound, All Points East and Pitchfork Music Festival.
"We tried to make these little nods to our friends and loved ones, to stay loyal to our old selves," Russo explains. "I think we were trying to recapture some of the innocent weirdness of our very first recordings," Keaney adds of the Cool Change chorus.
There's something comforting, too, in knowing the next time they're buffeted from stage to stage around the world, they'll be taking the voices of their loved ones with them, building a new totem of home no matter where they end up.
EMMA DONOVAN & THE PUTBACKS
Acclaimed Indigenous vocalist Emma Donovan and Melbourne rhythm combo The Putbacks burst on to the Australian scene with their album Dawn in 2014, announcing a new voice in Australian soul music. This journey continued in 2020 with the release of the critically-acclaimed Crossover. Emma's songwriting is optimistic, impassioned, and bruisingly honest, The Putbacks' music is fluid, live and raw, and the collaboration has won friends and admirers all over the world.
The collaboration was born of Emma and The Putback's shared love for classic American soul and the protest music of Indigenous Australia. Shades of every soul record you ever liked sneaks through their music: Al Green's Hi Records era? Check. Aretha's Classic Atlantic recordings? Check. Stacks of Stax? Check. It's all there, but there's also a whole lot of Coloured Stone and Warumpi Band influences giving their songs a uniquely Australian slant.
Emma Donovan grew up singing church songs with her grandparents on the north coast of New South Wales, Australia and her first secular gigs were singing in the family band, The Donovans, with her mother and five uncles. Throughout her career, she has toured and recorded with many of the mainstays of Indigenous music from Archie Roach to Dan Sultan and was a member of the Black Arm Band project. It was in The Black Arm Band that Emma met members of The Putbacks and their journey together began.
The Putbacks are stone cold pros, grizzled veterans of all the tours and all the studios. As individuals, they're the players behind so many bands it's difficult to list, but let's start with Hiatus Kaiyote, The Bombay Royale, D.D Dumbo, Swooping Duck and The Meltdown. When they come together, they're one of the tightest, sharpest, slickest, most dynamic musical units ever to exist. Their collaboration with Emma elevates their music and Emma's songs to another level..
"Driven by brutally honest lyricism, irresistible percussion and a purist's respect for the funk and soul tradition, Dawn hearkens back to the heyday of Stax and Atlantic Recordings" – Karaslamb, Okay Player
"Emma's voice is everything you'd want in a soul singer. She's the real deal." – Wax Poetics
"Donovan can front a well-oiled soul band in her sleep" – Rolling Stone AU
"A tour de force of funk and soul hailing from the land down under" – Pop Matters
How do you find your place in the world when you never stop running? There was plenty of time for Hayley Mary to reflect on that, rising at 5am, bracing against the dark drizzle of Edinburgh's suburbs to serve sandwiches to bleary-eyed tradies.
This was the unlikely new existence of the singer who'd, not long before, been playing to audiences of thousands at festivals and in headline tours across the world with The Jezabels, collecting ARIA, AIR and AMP awards in their wake.
Experiencing this inverse of the rock'n'roll lifestyle made Hayley better appreciate the very things she'd been running from: Home. Family. Messy Sydney nights. Music Industry. Her media persona as a frontwoman, which had sometimes felt jarring and inauthentic. Now, the literal grind of working the coffee grinder somehow provided fertile grounds for songwriting.
"It was a dirty grey day, there was a constant drizzle / As we drank Lucozade, though it was not artisanal / Just a fizzling of orange, the drip inside of me" – 'The Drip' lyrics
The result is a new seven-track EP that explores Hayley's profound reconciliation with her roots. The Drip explodes with the exhilaration of a life revitalised. It's at turns tender and combative, driven by Hayley's high-drama delivery. Musically, it taps into the UK's long-standing love affair with '60s guitar pop, as well as the darkly gothic '80s music that Hayley turned to in rebellion against growing up in faux-bohemian Byron Bay. Then there's the influences of her musician dad: Celtic folk, UK punk and Northern soul.
With her suitcase literally packed to tour her acclaimed debut EP, The Piss, The Perfume, when the pandemic hit, Hayley felt oddly driven and supernaturally connected by the events of 2020. "I felt the saddest I've ever felt in that collective grief, but also the least alone, because there's literally nobody unaffected by this", she says. It's something she explores in first single 'The Chain': "I've lost so many dreams / Through a hole in the world".
While Hayley is excited to get back on the road and take the new music to the cities and regions, The Drip is grounded with the unshakeable confidence of an artist who has finally found her home, as well as her true north.
Dallas Frasca
Dallas is the namesake frontwoman of the award-winning rock outfit Dallas Frasca – alongside long-time collaborator Jeff Curran (Eumundi's own!).
A stand-out of her class and an almighty presence on the mic, Frasca has not stopped for more than a decade. She's toured the world (supporting the likes of Ugly Kid Joe, Patti Smith and Aerosmith), clocking over 1000 shows with her band, including 9 international tours, and managed to put a Top 30 Australian ARIA charting album under her belt and a #10 Australian album.
She's won a swag of awards including 'Artist of the Year' at the Independent Music Awards; and was a finalist at the inaugural Women in Music Awards in 2018 in the 'Artistic Excellence' category.
Another highlight was showing off her guitar skills to 1.5 billion viewers for the closing ceremony of the Commonwealth Games on the Gold Coast.
Re-emerging from the pandemic, Dallas will unleash her first-ever solo record in early 2022, doubled with a power-packed live show
Kallidad
Eumundi fan favourites Kallidad combine Spanish guitar magic with rock and roll energy to create a once in a lifetime sound that has seen the group tour across Europe, Asia and Oceania. The trio's notorious white facepaint masks their identities, shifting the focus to a musical style that is alive, intense, emotional and powerful. Kallidad's music is all instrumental- no lyrics are necessary to feel the energy and passion behind the music. Booming percussion and shredded nylon string guitars weave a deep web of sound that always leaves audiences breathless and begging for more!
Kurilpa Reach
Kurilpa Reach are a contemporary roots 7-piece based in Brisbane's inner-south suburb of West End. Traditionally a melting pot of ethnic communities, traditional owners and artists, West End has carved out a distinct identity and attitude that sets it apart from other surrounding areas. Kurilpa Reach can be seen as a reflection of this identity, with members from indigenous and migrant backgrounds. Kurilpa is the traditional name for the South Brisbane/West End peninsula, meaning 'place of the water rat', with Reach referring to the Brisbane River that surrounds the area on three sides. When approaching music, Kurilpa Reach have utilised their own interpretation of West End's melting pot attitude, following in the footsteps of other genre-blending groups such as KOOII, Kingfisha and Laneous. Based on a strong rhythmic foundation of dub and reggae, Kurilpa Reach blends in blues, neo-soul and rock resulting in an eclectic sound difficult to pigeon-hole into a single sound or genre. Despite this musical ambiguity, Kurilpa Reach have forged their own path in the Brisbane music scene, known for their pulsating grooves and high-energy live sets. Highlights/Previous Events: Woodford Folk Festival, Mountain Goat Valley Crawl, Hidden Lanes Festival, Happy Daze, Nimbin Mardigrass, Peregian Originals, Toowoomba Carnival of Flowers, Nimbin Roots Festival, Offbeat Festival, Yamba Food Festival
Dear Doonan
Dear Doonan is a sunburnt six piece hailing from the points of Noosa, with an energetic live show symbiotic with their eclectic world sound. Their genre is a melting pot of Turkish, Indian and African influences and instrumentation, fuzed with psychedelic music stylings from the 1970's. Expect to be hypnotised by the kaleidoscopic musical journey featuring transcendental sitar, pulsing bass, percussive grooves, rolling banjos, buzzing surf guitar and melodic flute and trumpet solos – shrouded in a dreamy psychedelic haze. Leaving audiences awed with gratitude - questioning what they'd just experienced. This is a band for those who are searching for that little bit more!
Karl S Williams
Karl S. Williams – singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, visual artist and poet – an artist that you never saw coming. A genre defying and multifaceted musician for whom music is an urgent calling and the solution is, to love more. What makes Karl truly remarkable, is that he is unafraid - he wears his heart on his sleeve, he speaks universal truths and he crosses boundaries. This is blues, roots, folk and Americana, if you will… but not as you know it.
Karl's music is steeped in the swamp water of cane country, the landscape of his childhood. His songs are a distillation of life, love and the human condition. Timeless and deeply rooted in tradition, yet ever conversant with the present. As a performer, he is at once beautifully vulnerable and then transcendent.
Delivered with powerful conviction that takes your breath away, a Karl S. Williams performance is frequently referred to as a visceral and 'spiritual experience', leaving an audience slightly altered in the best way possible.
Karl S. Williams built his reputation over many years playing around Southeast QLD before his debut album Heartwood was released in 2013. In 2014, he was signed to Footstomp Music, and re-released Heartwood to widespread acclaim. He was recognised as artist of the year at the inaugural Gold Coast Music Awards in 2015 and took out a QMA in 2018 for the single 'Blood To Give'.
Karl went back to the studio as an independent artist to begin recording Lifeblood. Released in 2020, Lifeblood is the move towards longevity as an artist, a songwriter and a human. With this offering, Karl cleanses the slate and redefines the terms of engagement. Lifeblood is ultimately an album of hope - a revolt against the powers that be and proof that with art and love, we shall overcome.
Fragile Animals
There's something captivating about watching a band hit their stride. For Coast alt-gaze trio Fragile Animals, that time is now.
Their 2017 debut EP Light That Fades was met with a joyous welcome. While their sophomore EP Only Shallow//Only More was the graduation with flying colours every band looks to strike upon. Songs from both releases found open ears and airplay at Triple J, becoming an Unearthed Feature Artist and winning a place on the line-up to their local Triple J presented Big Pineapple Music Festival.
Latest single 'Only Until It's Over' serves up a banquet of catchy melodies from vocalist Victoria Jenkins, delivering a rich slice of indie-rock amidst the powerful, driving rhythms of drummer Kyle Shipton and Daniel Parkinson's cavalcade of rich guitar tones.
Fragile Animals sculpt bittersweet indie-rock, inhaling their influences and exhaling carefully as a smart young band carving out their own sound. A luscious layering of slow burning choruses and intricate guitar melodies – part indie-pop, part shoegaze paragon.
Fragile Animals live prowess has gradually been honed over the last two years, supporting the likes of Polish Club, Flyying Colours, Bugs, Jebediah as well as east coast tours of their own.
More music is recorded and ready, this time with ARIA nominated producer Dylan Adams (DMA's, Skeggs, West Thebarton) on board. More touring is on the cards, but this time with one eye on Australia and the other on the world.
Palomino III
Palomino III blaze a trail into the nether regions of traditional music where everything in the elements of this tiny powerhouse lie somewhere between vintage and modern. Stripped back and bare bones, their live performances and writing style has been likened to "a hefty dose of moonshine with a twist of sarcastic melancholy... " "The guitar and upright bass riffs are captivating as they jangle alongside standout vocals with a mix of tempos and lyrical imagery. A little bit of Jazz and a whole lot of rockabilly cowboy blues." Travelling and performing extensively in various formats across Australia and northern Europe at Rockabilly Roots festivals including Australia's iconic Greazefest, and Belgium's renowned Muddy Roots Festival, laid the foundations for Palomino III to arrive full throttle and unbound by genre or era. Palomino III @palomino.three https://www.palominothree.com/
Rumbrellas
The Rumbrellas are an explosion of funk, soul, reggae and hip hop, featuring members of festival favourites The Toothfaeries, Jambezi, Houseprouds and The Barleyshakes.
Spearheading the Rumbrellas' sound is lyricist/guitarist Ryan Giles, whose passion for creating and performing dance-based music shines through in everything he does. Ryan is the sharp focal point to a new sound of groove-heavy beats, infectious melodies, coupled with intelligent, positive and conscious songcraft.
Ryan, Sparky and Jay Ray's live performance experience is undeniable, and the one style and sound they truly love is the feel and groove of old school hip hop. Having formed as the Rumbrellas, they found the muse that would hit them like a freight train, and within a very short space of time, have written more than 25 new tracks.
Capturing the spirit of 80s and early 90s dance and hip hop, they found they had single-handedly created a new sound. Fans of De La Soul, Arrested Development, Beastie Boys, Tone Loc, Sublime, Fugees and A Tribe Called Quest will feel right at home with the Rumbrellas.
We highly recommend a listen to their debut EP Among The Sun. Word on the street is there's another EP in the making.

Miguel Cortijo Bustamante (Guayaquil, 17 de febrero de 1940 - 13 de noviembre de 2012) fue un futbolista ecuatoriano. Cortijo jugaba de lateral por izquierda y su primer equipo fue Club Sport Patria de Guayaquil.

Trayectoria

Se inició siendo muy joven en el CS Patria, llegando a ser integrante de aquel equipo campeón invicto en 1958 del torneo de ASO Guayas y bicampeón en la temporada 1959.
Este gran lateral izquierdo -que también se desempeñaba como cuarto zaguero, con buen dominio de balón y correcta ubicación- poseía fuerza, velocidad y un potente disparo de media distancia.

En la Selección

El 17 de marzo de 1963, en el Hernando Siles de La Paz, debuta con el combinado nacional, en la Copa América, en la derrota ante Perú por 2 goles a 1. Ingresó en sustitución de Alfonso Quijano, quien luego sería su compañero en Barcelona. Terminó como titular en los otros 3 compromisos de la selección en ese torneo. El combinado nacional, dirigido por Mariano Larraz, jugó así ese 17 de marzo: Pablo Ansaldo (Hugo Mejía); Alfonso Quijano (Miguel Bustamante), Vicente Lecaro, Luciano Macías; Jaime Galarza, José Johnson; Pedro Gando, Jorge Bolaños, Carlos Raffo, Enrique Raymondi (Néstor Azón), Armando Larrea.

Miguel Bustamante fue campeón ASO Guayas en 1955 y campeón nacional en 1966 con Barcelona. En ese 1966, el 28 diciembre, jugó el último de sus 10 partidos con la selección, en Asunción, cuando la Tricolor cayó ante Paraguay por 3-1, integrando otra vez la defensa con Quijano, Lecaro y Macías. La selección alineó con: Helinho; Alfonso Quijano, Vicente Lecaro, Luciano Macías, Miguel Bustamante; Héctor Morales (Portilla), Jorge Bolaños, Polo Carrera (Rodríguez); Washington Muñoz, Félix Lasso, Clímaco Cañarte.

Para 1967 también jugó Copa Libertadores por Barcelona, siendo parte de 11 de los 12 partidos del Ídolo en el torneo. El 5 de marzo de 1967 estuvo en la victoria ante Guaraní por 2 a 1, en el Modelo. Ahí abrió la ruta de la victoria con un impresionante gol de tiro libre. Ese mismo año fue integrante del Barcelona campeón en el último torneo de ASO Guayas. El 21 de julio de 1968, en el Modelo, Barcelona cae ante Liga de Quito por 1-0, con tanto de Rogelio Godoy... esa noche jugaron juntos por última vez los integrantes de la Cortina de Hierro, "King" Quijano, "Ministro de Defensa" Lecaro, "Pollo" Macías y "Cortijo" Bustamante.

Refuerzo en el Everest

Para la Copa Libertadores de 1963, Bustamante actuó como refuerzo de Everest, en el estadio Modelo, en la victoria de Peñarol por 5 goles a 0. El conjunto everiano alineó con Hugo Mejía; Miguel Bustamante, Jorge Spencer, Carlos Flores; Ramón Vera, José Johnson; Pedro Gando, Bolívar Merizalde, Néstor Azón (Horacio Romero), Carlos Altamirano, José Aquiño.

Llega a Barcelona

La famosa "Cortina de Hierro", Alfonso Quijano, Vicente Lecaro, Luciano Macías y Miguel Bustamante se juntó por primera vez el 11 de octubre de 1964, en el triunfo 3 a 0 sobre Norte América.
Esa misma defensa "torera" jugó los partidos eliminatorios ante Colombia y Chile entre julio y octubre de 1965, cuando la selección ecuatoriana estuvo cerca de llegar por primera vez a un Mundial.

Su Paso por Emelec

Entre 1969 y 1971 actuó por el CS Emelec, y se retiró del club después de participar en Copa Libertadores de 1971.
El 31 de marzo de 1971 se jugó en el Modelo un Clásico del Astillero, partido extra para definir al clasificado del grupo de Copa Libertadores. Los goles de Pedro Álvarez, Juan Manuel Bazurco y Washington Muñoz dieron la victoria por 3-0 a los "canarios".

BOOTYCamp! May 2011 – Day 5.
Me and MN, that's short for Mother Nature, have a great relationship… She gave us a little shower at around 7am and then it's didn't start to GO NUTS until 7.30am on the dot. Even with the elements you guys came with GREAT Energy and we had a SICK Workout that's definitely going to help you CRUSH those Test Scores come next week.
I like the rain days at Camp believe it or not. I use to HATE them. I thought, ohhh know it's not perfect and people aren't going to have a good time. But over the years I've found that we actually have the BEST time during the rain because we are forced to come together. We look at each other on these crazy days and know we went through something special together… In a CRAZY city like Manhattan people don't share moments like the one we shared today. This morning you had a choice. The obvious would be to not show up, or complain. BUT everyone who showed up took the high road. We set that alarm and we made the choice to have the BEST Hour together possible, rain or shine.
Every day we have choice as to how we're going to live our lives… Some days it rains. We got tougher as unit this morning… and for that I'm proud. My college coach use to say this to our Team… It was on the wall in her office. "Choice not Chance determines Destiny… Choose to be a Champion." Good Job Team, way to be anything but obvious.
Thank you to all the BOOTYS who participated in Peak Performance Fit-terVention with me and Nutritionist Sharon Richter. We tackled some controversial topics and had some fun along the way. We have 18 returning Veterans this month and I'd say 95% of them have been to a Team Meeting at least once over the past 5 years, right?! 🙂 It's a great opportunity to get yourself PUMPED UP and ready for SUMMER… I feel like a ton of the BOOTYCamp! veterans have changed their lives and bodies due to BOOTYCamp! and the Team Meetings. I want what you learn in this camp to carry lloonnggggg past the final whistle… That is what BOOTYCamp! is all about. Thank you to all who participated! If you missed it or want to come again next month let me know – June 18th at 10am… I think I'm going to pair this one with a workout!
IMPORTANT – Every Meeting has new stuff because the industry is constantly changing. CONGRATULATIONS Ellen for winning a FREE training session with me! Work-It-OUT!
Life after Camp! A lot of you asked for Sharon's info to consult with her about nutrition… She's GREAT.
Trainers: A lot of you were interested in Peak and Trainers.
I run a solid fitness business with extraordinary trainers. lf any of you are looking to take your workouts to the next level with a trainer post camp let me know. I'll take care of you, that's a promise.
I have your journals Kerstin, Schuyler, Lisa, and Nola! I'll bring them to Camp Thursday again but if you'd like them sooner or plan to come to class before Thursday let me know. I'll bring it for you!
GREAT JOB today everyone, I hope you took a nice HOT shower and hung your clothes to dry. Carolyn emailed me and told me her clothes are hanging in the conference room, NO EXCUSES. And to those of you who didn't make it today, don't worry… I still love you (Come to TheBigGAME! tonight if you can) 🙂 Have a great rest of the day and come READY on Thursday, only 2 workouts left until RESULTS DAY.

Gay and lesbian athletes will have a place to call "home" during the 2010 Olympic Games at the first ever PRIDE House.
The lounge, which will be set up at the Pan Pacific Whistler Village Centre, has been organized by Dean Nelson, CEO of GayWhistler, which produces the resort's annual gay ski week.
Not only is it meant to be a fun gathering place for gay athletes, coaches, family and fans, said Nelson, PRIDE House is also a way to show people from other countries how Canada embraces gay rights.
"There are still 70 other countries where it's illegal and it's very scary to be gay," said Nelson.
"If we're able to make a change... make a difference... that would be amazing."
Greg Larocque, spokesperson for Gay and Lesbian Sport Association (GLISA), said he is proud that the first ever PRIDE House is in Canada.
"I don't think it's a political statement," he said. "I think it's a statement of human rights."
He hopes that the International Olympic Committee (IOC) takes the lead and mandates that a PRIDE House needs to be a component of every future Games.
He also praises the Pan Pacific for its decision to host PRIDE House.
Dave Wilkin, director of operations for the Pan Pacific Whistler, said there had been other parties interested in renting the space, which can accommodate up to 75 people.
In the end the hotel decided to partner with GayWhistler not only because it's an exciting opportunity but also because the organization was looking to rent the space over a longer period of time.
"We've always been open to diversity," said Wilkin. "I can't wait to see what Dean (Nelson) does with it."
PRIDE House will be open from Feb. 8 to March 24, spanning three different events - the Olympics, WinterPRIDE (Whistler's annual gay ski week), and the Paralympic Games.
Nelson said they have also managed to secure a handful of rooms at the Pan Pacific. Those might be used to host gay or lesbian celebrities.
