Although volleyball is not the first sport that comes to people's minds when betting is mentioned, this sport can be quite entertaining if you decide to try your luck on volleyball betting.
Before you can start betting on volleyball, you need to understand the rules of the game very well. The sport has one of the best-laid our rules which may not be as obvious even to the professional volleyball lovers. The most important rule in volleyball is not to touch the ball more than three times when it is on your side of the court – but the block does not count. Also, no player can consecutively touch the ball more than one time.
Also, pay special attention to the faults that involve things such as touching the net. Once you understand the rules, you can now start learning what type of bets are available in volleyball betting.
The money line is a standard bet in almost every competitive sport where you get to pick the winner of the match. There is no spread, just odds on each team to win the game.
Handicap is usually measured in sets. For example, if one team is given a handicap of -2.5, it means that only straight sets will give them the victory. Naturally, this means that the other team is given a handicap of +2.5 and you can win the bet if even if they win only one set.
You can also try and predict a total number of sets that will occur in the match. This is not a difficult bet as the usual number of sets in a volleyball match is between 3 and 5.
Although there are no detailed betting strategies for this sport, there are a few tips and tricks that you should take into account when you decide to bet on volleyball.
First of all, make sure you understand the dynamics of each team, and what players are attending the tournament you are betting on. Sometimes teams will not be at full strength in all tournaments. Some are much more important than others, such as the Olympic tournament.
Secondly, take into account that volleyball is one of those sports where the individual quality is minimized, and the overall team quality comes first.
Thirdly, the tournaments in volleyball are usually scheduled closely together, and you need to take into account how much energy the players will have. For example, one team can play three games in three days consecutively and then meet the fourth team on the fourth day, but the opposing team had two or three days rest in between.
Finally, volleyball is not a popular betting sport, and the Pareto Principle may take place here. This principle suggests that the sports which are less popular are more suitable for betting as they provide greater value since there is less focus on it by the oddsmakers. If you do your homework, you can be profitable betting on volleyball. Good luck!

Abstract The tobacco and sugarcane industries play an important role in the national economy of Malawi. Collectively, they account for approximately 79 and 22% of the national foreign exchange earnings and gross domestic product, respectively. However, the sustainable production of high-quality tobacco and sugarcane has been threatened due to the continued deterioration of forest ecosystems. Considering the importance of tobacco/sugarcane production for the national economy and rural livelihoods. There is an urgent need to implement effectively different forest conservation initiatives in the country. Considering the complex linkages at the interface of deforestation, sugarcane/tobacco production, and economic activity, this is a complicated task that must be undertaken by both the government and tobacco/sugarcane companies. Incentive-based forest conservation management approaches, including Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes, can be one of the approaches that can help curb deforestation. However, there are significant knowledge gaps regarding how the private sector can be meaningfully involved in PES schemes, especially in developing country contexts. This paper draws on expert interviews with multiple stakeholders at the interface of tobacco/sugarcane production and forest conservation in Malawi to highlight the role of the private sector in promoting forest conservation among farming communities and the potential for participating in PES schemes. Different forest conservation initiatives are currently being implemented by the sugarcane and tobacco sector, but are not coordinated. While PES schemes are currently not operational in Malawi, there seems to be a relatively high support among private companies towards such incentive-based conservation mechanisms. The introduction of PES schemes as corporate social responsibility (CSR) projects or on a credit-based form (e.g., as conditionality to access credit for farm inputs or eligibility to be contracted to farm tobacco/sugarcane) could be the most appropriate structures for effectively involving the private sector. Establishing an independent multi-stakeholder PES coordination committee would be necessary for the effective coordination and implementation of such PES schemes. However, any future effort to promote a PES scheme in Malawi needs to informed with on-the-ground knowledge and should be weighed against other forest conservation options.

If you or a loved one was injured at an amusement park, town fair, or carnival in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, you should discuss your legal options with an experienced amusement park injury attorney. Depending on what caused the amusement park accident, you could be entitled to financial compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages related to the accident.
Serving Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the injury attorneys at the Wieand Law Firm are committed to holding amusement parks liable for ride defects, improper operation of rides, and other types of negligence that cause preventable accidents.
When visiting a carnival or amusement park you expect a fun and entertaining time for the whole family. However, a preventable amusement park tragedy can change you and your loved ones lives forever.
When a ride operator is careless, intoxicated, or improperly trained and supervised, he or she can make an error that injures or kills a passenger. There is also a risk that even with proper operation, design or manufacturing defects may cause a ride to break down while in motion, causing riders to fall, strike their heads, lose a limb, or suffer other catastrophic injuries.
It is difficult to find reliable and conclusive statistics on amusement park injuries and deaths, because, despite the immense potential for danger, the amusement park industry is loosely regulated. The Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) has limited authority to regulate "mobile" amusement parks, such as carnivals and fairs that move from town to town, but, in the words of spokesman Scott Wolfson, who was interviewed by CNN in July 2017, the CPSC is "a small agency, and it's tough to oversee every fair that sets up for a short period of time." Moreover, the CPSC is not authorized to investigate accidents at "fixed-site" (permanent) amusement parks. Instead, each state or municipality sets its own regulations – which can vary widely from place to place.
Despite the troubling absence of universal safety standards, the incomplete data we do have suggests that amusement park accidents and carnival accidents are relatively common. The CPSC estimated that in 2016 alone, nearly 31,000 people visited emergency departments for treatment of amusement park injuries. The CPSC has also received reports of at least 22 fatalities since 2010.
If you are injured at an amusement park, you should avoid speaking with any park representatives, who will likely try to either discourage you from pursuing legal action or push you into accepting a low-ball settlement offer.
NJ– Atlantic City, Egg Harbor Township, Hope Township, Jackson Township, Ocean City, Scotch Plains, Seaside Heights, Tipton, West Mifflin, Wildwood, and others.
Economic damages and non-economic damages may be available if you were injured, or if a family member was killed, due to an accident or injury at an amusement park. These are considered "compensatory" damages because their function is to "make the victim whole." If the accident involved particularly flagrant misconduct or malicious acts, you may also be entitled to "punitive" damages, which are meant to punish defendants who act with "gross" (extreme) negligence.
In cases where an amusement park accident results in the wrongful death of a park guest, the visitor's spouse or immediate family members may be able to recover compensation by bringing a survival action or wrongful death claim.
Spinal cord injuries, and others.
To discuss an injury that occurred at an amusement park, county fair, state fair or carnival in New Jersey or Pennsylvania, contact the Wieand Law Firm, LLC at (215) 666-7777. Your legal consultation is free and confidential.

Q: PROBLEMS WITH RADCLIFFE THEME To be honest I am a total beginner in css codes.
My page is https://visiapera.wordpress.com/ and I want to change the red color when selecting a title in navigation menu and make it white. Then, I have been trying to make the drop down menu to have black letters and white background, by having black lines between them.
The only thing I have found and did something is that:
li:hover {
    background-color: yellow;
}

But still the red is there!
Thank you!

A: To change backround of a menu link apply this css code
.main-menu > li:hover > a {
    background: #fff none repeat scroll 0 0;
    color: #000;
}
.main-menu ul a {
    background: #fff none repeat scroll 0 0;
    color: #000;
}

Use FireBug or built-in developer tools to easily find out which css code applies on different events.

Define ethnocentrism
Judging other cultures by one's own cultural standards and values. Extreme form = belief in superiority of one's own culture.
Three evaluation points for cultural bias.
Often in the past, when psychologists made reference to 'culture', they have done so within the context of the individualist-collectivist distinction. However, critics have suggested that in the age of globalisation and increased interconnectedness, that such a simplistic distinction no longer applies. Yohtaro Takano and Eiko Osaka (1999) found that 14/15 studies that compared the USA and Japan found no eviidence of the traditional distinction between individualism and collectivism. Therefore, this suggests that cultural bias in research is less of an issue than it once was.
Berry's concept of imposed etic is a useful reminder to psychoologists of the culturally specific nature of their work. However, there are some universal behaviours such as the 7 basic facial expressions, as Ekman's research suggests. Thus, not all psychological research is culturally relative. Nonetheless, a full understanding of human behvaiour requires the study of both universals and variation among individuals and groups.
When conducting research in Western culture the Ps' familiarity with the general aims and objectives of scientific enquiry is assumed. However, the same knowledge and 'faith' in scientific testing may not extend to all cultures that don't have the same experience of scientific research. This means that demand characteristics may be exaggerated when working with members of the local population.
Make the case for determinism.
Determinism consistent with science's aims. Notion that human behaviour = orderly and obeys laws places psychology on equal footing with other more established sciences. Value of such research = prediction and control of human behaviour has led to development of treatments, therapies and behavioural interventions that have benefited many (e.g. managing schizophrenia). Schizophrenia - sufferers experience a loss of control over their thoughts and behaviour, casting doubts over concept of 'free will'. In cases of mental illness - behaviour appears determined.
Make the case against determinism.
Hard determinism - individual not of behaviour inconsistent with way in which our legal system operates. Offenders held morally accountable for their actions. Determinism - unfalsifiable; based on idea that causes of behaviour always exist. Suggests that determinist approach to human behaviour may not bee as scientific as it seems.
Define hard determinism.
Implies that free will isn't possible as our behaviour is always caused by internal/external events beyond our control.
Define soft determinism.
All events have causes but behaviour can also be determined by conscious choices in absence of coercion.
Define psychic determinism.
Belief that behaviour is caused by unconscious conflicts that we cannot control.
Make the case for free will.
Quotidian experience gives impression hat we exercise fee will through our choices - face validity; makes cognitive sense. People with internal LOC = more mentally healthy. 2000 Roberts et al study demonstrated that teenagers who strongly believe in fatalism are at significantly greater risk of developing depression. This suggests that, even if we don't have free will, the fact that we think that we do may positively impact our behaviour.
Make the case against free will.
Neurological studies of decision making have revealed evidence against free willl. Studies by Libet (1981) and Soon et al (2008) have demonstrated that brain activity determining outcome of simple choices may predate our knowledge of having made such a choice.
Define universality.
Any underlying characteristic of humans capable of being applied to all, despite individual differences.
Gender bias.
Tendency to treat one individual/group in a different way to others. In context of gender bias, psychological research/theory may offer a view that doesn't justifiably represent the experience and behaviour of men and women.
Define adrocentrism.
Male-centred; when 'normal' behaviour is judged by a male standard.
Define alpha bias.
Psychological theories suggest that they're real and enduring differences between men and women. These may enhance or undervalue members of either sex.
Define beta bias.
Theories that ignore/minimise differences between sexes.
What are the implications of gender bias?
Gender-biased research may create misleading assumptions about female behaviour; fail to challenge negative stereotypes and validate discriminatory practices. May provide scientific 'justification' to deny women workplace and wider society opportunities. Thus, gender bias is not just a methodological problem but may have damaging consequences which affect the lives and prospects of real women.
Gender bias: sexism within the research process.
Lack of women appointed at senior research level means that female concerns may not be reflected in research questions asked. Male researchers more likely to have their work published and studies which find evidence of gender differences more likely to appear in scientific journals that those that don't. Lab experiment (cornerstone of 'scientific' enquiry) may further disadvantage women. Female Ps placed in an inequitable relationship with usually male researcher with power to label them unreasonable, irrational and unable to complete complex tasks, meaning that psychology may be guilty of institutionalised sexism that creates bias in theory and research.
Gender bias and reflexivity.
Many modern researchers beginning to recognise effect of own values and assumptions have on nature of their work. Embrace bias as a crucial and critical aspect of research process. E.g. study of lack of women in executive positions in accountancy firms, Claire Dambrin and Caroline Lambert (2008) include reflection on how gender-related experiences influence their reading of such events.
What is the nature-nurture debate?
Concerned with the extent to which aspects of behaviour are the product of inherited or acquired characteristics.
Nature-nurture debate: List the 5 different approaches from the most extreme nature side, to interactionist to the most nature side.
Biological, psychodynamic, cognitive, humanist; behaviourist.
What is the interactionist approach?
Behaviour often result of interaction between nature and nurture. An individual's characteristics may illicit particular responses in others (e.g. temperament, gender; aggression).
What is the Diathesis-stress model?
Suggests that psychopathology is caused by a biological/genetic vulnerability (diathesis) - only expressed when coupled with biological/environmental trigger (stressor).
What were Tienari et al's (2004) findings?
Group of studied Finnish adoptees - those most likely to develop schizophrenia had biological relatives with history of disorder and had relationships with their adoptive families that were defined as 'dysfunctional'.
What were the findings of Maguire et al's (2000) Taxi Driver study.
Structural MRI scans of licensed London taxi drivers were compared with controls who didn't drive taxis. Hippocampal volume correlated with time spent as taxi driver. Posterior hippocampi of taxi drivers significantly larger relative of those control subjects. Posterior hippocampus stores spatial representation of environment and can expand regionally in people with high dependence on navigational skills.
Evaluate the nature-nurture debate.
Implications: extreme determinism. Shared/unshared environments: individuals experience environments differently.
Constructivism: Genes and environments interact. People create their own 'nature' by actively selected environments that are appropriate for their 'nature'.
Genotype-environment interaction. Epigenetics.
Define scientific determinism.
Emphasis on causal explanations.
Define holism.
Theory that proposes that it only makes sense to study a whole the system rather than its constituent parts.
Define reductionism.
Theory that all complex system can be best understood by breaking the down into their smaller constituent parts.
Outline one strength of holism.
Holistic/same level explanations provide a more complete and global understanding of behaviour than reductionist approaches. For example, some human behaviour cannot be understood individually. It is the interaction between people and the behaviour of the group that is important.
Define biological reductionism.
Reducing behaviour to physiological levels, e.g. brain structures or genes.
Define environmental reductionism.
Reducing behaviour to stimulus-response links which can be tested and explained using laboratory experiments.
Parsimony
Complex phenomena should be explained by the simplest underlying principles possible, e.g. genetics, biochemistry, etc.
Outline one limitation of holism.
Holistic explanations in psychology tend to not lend themselves and can become vague and speculative as they become more complex. Humanistic psychology tends to be criticised for its lack of empirical evidence and is thus seen by many as a loose set of concepts. Higher level explanations that combine many different perspectives present researchers with a practical dilemma: if we accept that they're many factors that contribute to, say, depression, it becomes difficult to establish which is most influential and which one to use (e.g. as a basis for therapy). This suggests, when it comes to solving real-world problems, lower level explanations may be more appropriate.
Outline one strength for cross-cultural studies.
One of the great benefits of conducting cross-cultural research is that it may challenge our typically Western perceptions of the world. Realising that some knowledge and concepts that we take for granted aren't shared by others internationally may promote greater sensitivity to individual difference and cultural relativism in the future. This not only counters the charge of 'scientific racism' that had been made against some past psychological theories, but also means that conclusions drawn are likely to have more validity of the role of culture in bringing them about.
Explain why science is determinist. Refer to the features of science in your answer. (8 marks)
Science is determinist because it seeks to find cause-and-effect relationships, i.e. to demonstrate that X causes Y. For example, in Loftus and Palmer's study of eyewitness testimony they sought to demonstrate that a change in the IV would lead to a change in what people remembered. If the verb was 'hit' instead of 'contacted' (two levels of the IV) participants were 'caused' to estimate a higher speed that the car was travelling. By demonstrating such causal relationships we can predict events in the world and devise strategies to deal with any problems (e.g. avoid leading questions because they bias what people remember).
Explain why free will may seem incompatible with the aims of science. (4 marks).
Free will is inconsistent with the assumptions of science because science is based on causal explanations whereas free will implies that behaviours and thinking are non-determinist or not caused. Science aims to predict and control behaviour whereas free will implies that behaviours and thinking result from a person's complete freedom to control what he or she does and thinks. The idea that a non-physical phenomenon like free will can have an effect on the physical world in the form of behaviour is at odds with the assumption of science that a physical effect must have a physical cause.
What is the idiographic approach?
Focuses on the uniqueness of the individual. It looks at in-depth details and subjective experiences.
Uses qualitative methods such as case studies. Rejects scientific approach; shouldn't equalise as we're all unique.
What is the nomothetic approach?
Aims to establish laws and generalisations that apply to many people. Focuses on similarities between people and gaining objective knowledge.
Collects large amounts of data.
Outline two examples of the idiographic approach.
Humanistic psychology (interested in documenting individual's conscious experience) and the psychodynamic approach.
Outline one strength of the idiographic approach.
Gain detailed and informative descriptions of behaviour, uncover causes of behaviour unidentified by nomothetic methods. Develop holistic understanding of individual and can provide hypotheses for further scientific study.
Outline one limitation of the idiographic approach.
Cannot generalise to wider population. Subjective, flexible and unstandardised methods make replication, prediction and control of behaviour difficult.
Outline one strength of the nomothetic approach.
Can generalise to wider population. Objective, measurable methods can be verified so replication, prediction and control of behaviour is easy.
Outline one limitation of the nomothetic approach.
Generalised laws may not apply to individual. Often superficial understanding (e.g. same score on personality test, but different answers).
What does the mnemonic Can Do Can't Do Without Participants?
Consent, Deception, Confidentiality, Debrief, Withdrawal and Protection.
Define ethical issues.
Arise when there's a conflict between gaining valuable research and preserving Ps' rights.
Define ethical guidelines.
Established to help protect those involved in research.
Define socially sensitive research.
Any potentially controversial research. Studies in which there are potential consequence or implications, either directly for Ps involved in the research or for class of individuals represented by research.
Implications of socially sensitive research.
Socially sensitive research may give 'scientific' credibility to prejudice and discrimination, and can be used to justify public policy.
There are ethical implications of research at a wider societal level. For example, psychological research has implications for (2 things)...
Influencing public policy and the way certain groups are treated or perceptions of certain people.
What are the features of socially sensitive research?
Some areas of study in psychology are likely to be more controversial than others (= socially sensitive). Often confronts taboo topics like aspects of race; sexuality, attracting attention from others. Just because research is socially sensitive doesn't mean it shouldn't be conducted. Aronson (1999) said that psychologists have a social duty to conduct such research.
What are the key aspects of scientific research process that raise ethical implications in socially sensitive research as identified by Sieber and Stanley (1988)?
Implications, uses/public policy and validity of research.
Outline one example of an implication of socially sensitive research.
Studies examining racial basis of intelligence gave 'scientific' credence to prejudice and discrimination. Data may be used for social control.
Findings can be adopted by the government for political ends or to shape public policy. Outline one example of what research may be used for.
Burt's research on relationship between intelligence and genes was a lie. Bowlby's findings influenced how at least a generation of children were raised (and maybe UK government's decision not to offer free child care places to kids 5<). May have also indirectly affected legal 'norm' to grant mums child custody in divorce and separation cases (previously invariably given to dads).
Ethical issues in socially sensitive research: validity of research.
What are the ethical implications of Burt's work? (11+)
The ethical implications of Burt's work were that certain individuals were disadvantaged if they did not pass the 11+ by the education they then received. The findings of Burt's research can be used to justify existing prejudices and influence public policy of separating people in education according to their IQ, which could be disadvantageous for some individuals.
What are the benefits of socially sensitive research?
Sandra Scarr (1988) argues that studies of underrepresented groups and issues may promote greater sensitivity and understanding of these.
Why were feminist writers so critical of Bowlby's work and its wider ethical implications - particularly the view that daycare could be damaging for a child?
The primary purpose of peer review is to ensure that the material published is valid and unbiased. Burt had cited statistics that were not true, emphasising material that supported his claim that intelligence was genetic, which effectively led to policies that impacted on some people's life chances. Peer review would have meant that Burt's ideas would have ended up being discredited, showing his findings were not valid.
Framing the question.
Seiber and Stanley (1988) warn that how research questions are phrased and investigated may influence the way that findings are interpreted. Research into 'alternative relationships' has been guilty of a heterosexual bias (homosexual relationships judged by heterosexual norms), suggesting that researchers must approach their research with an 'open mind' and be prepared to have their preconceptions challenged if they're to avoid misrepresenting minority groups.
Costs and benefits of socially sensitive research.
Although research is scrutinised by an ethics committee, some of the consequences of research involving vulnerable groups might be difficult to anticipate. Assessments of the 'worth' of such research are typically subjective and the real impact of the research can only be known when made public.
Define essentialism.
The view that for any specific entity there is a set of attributes which are necessary to its identity and function.

The fatigue factor played a role as Presentation College's volleyball squad dropped a four-game match to St. Scholastica Saturday at the Strode Center. The hosts began the day on a positive note, winning the first game before the visitors took control of the match. Scores were 23-25, 25-15, 25-13, 25-13. Presentation coach Chelsey Albrecht said things began well for her team but went downhill after the first game. "We executed our game plan but just ran out of gas from the weekend," said Albrecht. "We had quite a few long rallies in the first game. In the second, third and fourth games, our outside hitters each had over 100 swings combined for the weekend, and that took a lot out of them." Paige Hardy had 23 kills for St. Scholastica, which had 20 more kills than did the hosts. Chelsea Brandlee and Becky Smith led the PC attacking with 18 and 12 kills. The visitors also had 90 defensive digs, with five players reaching double digits in that category. "St. Scholastica was very scrappy and didn't let anything hit the floor," said Albrecht. "We struggled stopping one of their better outside hitters." Presentation College (2-20) will play at UMAC rival Minnesota-Morris on Tuesday. Serving: St. Scholastica 94-97 5 aces (Molly Roith 25-25 1 ace, Megan Baartman 21-21 1 ace); Presentation College 58-67 2 aces (Becky Smith 11-11 1 ace, Meghan Schmidt 7-9 1 ace). Hitting: St. Scholastica 130-149 61 kills (Paige Hardy 44-47 23 kills, Megan Windschitl 23-24 10 kills); Presentation College 153-172 41 kills (Chelsea Brandlee 45-51 18 kills, Smith 49-56 12 kills). Setting: St. Scholastica 126-127 61 assists (Sarah Kurtovich 62-62 56 assists); Presentation College 132-136 40 assists (Kelsey Schmidt 38-40 35 assists). Digs: St. Scholastica 90 (Molly Roith 21, Kurtovich 18); Presentation College 64 (Maggie Kuhlman 22, Brandlee 14). Blocks: St. Scholastica 2 (Windschitl 2 solos); Presentation College 4 (Smith 2 solos 1 assist, Brandlee 1 solo). Records: St. Scholastica 14-12; Presentation College 2-20.

Who will Sean Hannity bully now?
Alan Colmes is leaving "Hannity & Colmes," the Fox News show he co-hosted.
By Alex Koppelman
Published November 24, 2008 10:45PM (EST)
Fox News viewers will soon have to find someone new to represent all that is impure and unholy in the world: Alan Colmes is leaving "Hannity & Colmes," the show where he plays liberal foil to co-host -- and star -- Sean Hannity.
A press release put out by the network quotes Colmes as saying, "I approached Bill Shine (FNC's Senior Vice President of Programming) earlier this year about wanting to move on after 12 years to develop new and challenging ways to contribute to the growth of the network. Although it's bittersweet to leave one of the longest marriages on cable news, I'm proud that both Sean (Hannity) and I remained unharmed after sitting side by side, night after night for so many years."
The New York Times reports that FNC may not replace Colmes, and Hannity may end up hosting by himself. (The show's working title was, after all, "Hannity & LTBD" -- Liberal to be Determined.) That's somewhat surprising, considering that the show's conceit was always that it stuck to the network's "Fair and Balanced" slogan, at least nominally, though in reality -- as I discussed in this 2007 article about all the "Fox News Democrats" -- Colmes really served as a nominal liberal to be thrown to the figurative lions, in the form of Sean Hannity.
Colmes will be staying on at the network as a commentator, and will continue his radio show, which is broadcast by Fox News Radio. He'll also reportedly be developing a new weekend show for FNC.

LA Galaxy striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic says former Manchester United teammate Wayne Rooney has been great for DC United and MLS.
The Swede believes Rooney is the sort of figure the MLS should be looking to snare from Europe.
"It's good to see Rooney here. We meed more of the big European players coming to Major League Soccer, to spread out the quality, spread out the experience here," he told the Mirror.
"Rooney was the right guy to bring. He brings a lot of quality, a lot of experience and he make the game look easy so I'm happy he is here.
"The football is okay - it is not Europe but it is progressing. It is developing and I am more than happy to help it."


The staff is dedicated to the work of the church. But it is not only the staff that keeps our church going. With the help of other many in the congregation, Union Memorial Church has remained a prominent part of the Glenbook neighborhood for over 100 years.
The Rev. Dr. Blaine Edele is currently Pastor of Union Memorial Church in Stamford, CT.
He frequently served as Guest Lecturer at the Center for Judaic and Middle Eastern Studies at UConn Stamford.
The choir offers prayer through song each Sunday, which special performances throughout the year for celebrations including Maundy Thursday, Easter and Christmas Eve. We also have a youth choir and a bell choir. All are encouraged to join.
Our church relies on the time and compassion of our congregation members.
We are a church in the Glenbrook neighborhood of Stamford that welcomes all who "love the Lord Jesus in sincerity and truth."
Our mission, to "learn, celebrate and share Christ's love," continues after Sunday morning. We host weekly Bible studies. Our drama group called "The UMC Players" performs Bible based plays in worship at Easter and Christmas.
Members participate in hands-on community service projects during the year, including a summer "tailgate" sale to raise camp scholarships, a fall holiday bazaar to benefit local charities, ringing bells for the Salvation Army Christmas kettle collection, Christmas caroling, hosting a Halloween "Trunk or Treat" to benefit the Kyle Cruz Scholarship at the Wilderness School, conducting food drives for the Food Bank, along with much more.

The world rushes us into Christmas and even the New Year. I'm with you on slowing down to savor these last couple of months. Praying you find time to have peace and quiet!!!
you are wise--enjoy your many blessings--splash them all around!
I understand this...I think the commercialism of every holiday has us expecting some rush of feelings that are actually manufactured for the tv screen and photo shoot.
I'm not cynical, I just think that we unconsciously expect something at the holidays that in actuality we have around us all the time.
I liked this post, Dawn. Helps me feel that I'm not the only one wanting to slow down enough to feel it all.
I think you are doing to much and it clearly has 'muddled' your brain. Glad to see you are going to splash in your blessings and you will enjoy your day with your family. Promise.
BTW: I think what scout is doing to that Turkey might be against the law.
Did you realize that we have NOT had our "publix" dinner night??? If we missed it, I am going to be so mad, SO MAD!!!!
I can't really travel at this point and all our family is "too busy" to come to us so it's just going to be the three of us this year.
I'm a little bummed, but I'm trying to look at it like a special time for the three us to share before the choas of new baby. One last holiday with just my first born.


By referring to practical aspects of managerial life and corporate structure / decision-making, Hodgson v Amcor goes some way to reducing the considerable grey area in the definition of "officer".
It's not just company directors who face personal liability. Recent court cases – such as last week's Amcor case – show how personal corporate responsibility is increasingly filtering down to the managerial level.
The most obvious example of this is the James Hardie case ;(currently on appeal to the High Court). There, a corporate counsel/ company secretary was held to have been a company officer because he participated in making decisions affecting the whole or a substantial part of James Hardie's business. This meant that the general counsel/company secretary was found to have a positive duty to act with due care and diligence (section 180 of the Corporations Act) and that he had contravened that duty by failing to properly advise the board about a potentially misleading statement in an ASX release.
A major issue for corporate managers is how far down the corporate ladder this responsibility can extend.
To some extent, the legal significance of managerial duties and liabilities has been obscured by the fact that a lot of attention has been focussed on directors and their duties.
As a result it is easy to overlook the fact that the Corporations Act imposes duties on "officers", as well as on directors. In fact, the key provisions (section 180-183 – duty of care and diligence, duty of good faith, duty not to improperly use one's position or knowledge) apply to "directors or other officers" [emphasis added].
In most cases, it is relatively simple to say who is and isn't a director (the board elections are usually a good pointer!). But who is an "officer"?
(iii) in accordance with whose instructions or wishes the directors of the corporation are accustomed to act (excluding advice given by the person in the proper performance of functions attaching to the person's professional capacity or their business relationship with the directors or the corporation)"
This is clearly not a brightline test. Paragraph (iii) is similar to the statutory test for shadow directors, about which there have been quite a few court rulings. Paragraphs (i) and (ii), on the other hand, are relatively unknown quantities.
That's why it's useful that the Victorian Supreme Court recently devoted some attention specifically to those two paragraphs, in Hodgson v Amcor  VSC 94.
The Amcor case concerned a complicated dispute between a company and a former senior manager. Among other things, the company alleged that the former senior manager had been an officer and had breached sections 180-183 of the Corporations Act.
This required the Court to determine whether the senior manager fell within paragraphs (i) or (ii) of the definition of "officer".
Although the Court's reasons are limited to the situation of a specific manager in a specific company, the elements that the Court took into account may provide useful guidance for other managers and other companies.
Two obvious factors which separate the officers from the rest are their position within the company (eg. senior management) and their ability to take part in decisions which affect the company's business at a high level.
What is the manager's capital expenditure authority? In this case, a limit of $250,000 was said to be an indication that the manager might not be an officer (reference should also be made to the 2007 Citigroup case , where it was held that a trader who had a $10m trading limit wasn't an "officer").
To whom does the manager report? A person may be an officer if they report directly to the board, but even non-direct reporters may be an officer if they are "capable of dealing directly with board members".
Does the manager participate in the making of board decisions? Again, they're more likely to be an officer if they do.
What is the extent of the manager's domain? In Amcor, the fact that the manager headed and managed the largest division in the company (in terms of staff, resources and revenue) supported the conclusion that he was an officer.
Does the manager have direct control over his own budget? Such control is another indication of being an officer.
Who are the manager's own direct reports? In Amcor, the fact that the manager had oversight of a significant number of high level general managers supported the conclusion that he was an officer.
Given that officers have many of the same duties and face many of the same liabilities as directors, it is frustrating that the statutory definition of "officer" doesn't really provide much practical assistance.
For that reason, this judgment is very welcome. Although it concerned a specific manager in a specific company, the court's reasoning provides some really useful flesh on the bare bones of the statute. By referring to practical aspects of managerial life and corporate structure / decision-making, the judgment goes some way to reducing the considerable grey area in the definition of "officer".
When can company officers rely on information provided by others?

We have been very busy these past few weeks — at least, that's my excuse for not writing more. Grace is averaging two doctor appointments per week, one at infectious disease and one at some other doctor (ortho, GI, etc.). She was supposed to have an infectious disease appointment today but I had to cancel it. Gracie's class had a field trip today — they saw "Charlotte's Web" at a local theater. Although we had plenty of notice of the field trip on the 14th, and we all knew Gracie had her infectious disease appointment on Wednesday, none of us put it together that it was the same day. Miss K, Gracie's amazing para, called me first thing this morning to tell me about the scheduling problem. She offered for me to drop Gracie off at the theater after the appointment, but I wasn't even sure the appointment would be done by the time the play started, and let's face it — what's more important, a doctors appointment or a play? There will be other appointments.
She has another appointment scheduled tomorrow, in fact. It's her regular yearly checkup, ironically called a "well child" check. The name isn't ironic for other kids but Grace is hardly ever "well." In fact, she's been saying she's sick for days, and right now she has a low-grade fever.
I don't know what to make of it when she says she's sick. I believe her that something is wrong, but since she can't articulate what hurts (or even what doesn't feel right), it's hard to know what to do. I've been asking her if her tummy hurts but she can't tell me. Her finger doesn't look too bad so it's probably not that. She could be reacting to the antibiotics — in fact, that seems to me the most likely cause of the fever — but until other causes of infection are ruled out that is only a guess. We will probably have to test for sources of infection tomorrow at her "well" child check. She also needs some vaccinations; we put them off last year because she was so unwell at her "well" child check, and now they are due (her doctor said she could get them at age 4 or 5 so it wasn't a big deal to wait last year but we can't wait again now).
Although it's very worrisome that Grace has a fever while she's on strong antibiotics, I feel almost numb to the shock. I sit here nonchalantly typing, mulling over whether Grace needs to go to the ER or whether we can accomplish everything at her "well" child visit tomorrow. I may even send her to school if the fever is gone in the morning. It speaks volumes about what we've been through that I'm not freaking out right now. Grace has been in this situation before. She has broken a fever through antibiotics, through these particular antibiotics in fact. There are less terrible possibilities for the fever — she could have a virus, she could have an infection that these antibiotics will not cover, like a bladder infection — but if this situation is like the last time this happened, Gracie's fever is actually a very rare reaction to the antibiotics. Since the words "very rare" attach to the reaction, that must be what it is. Those are Gracie's words.
Well. Well well well. We shall see what tomorrow will bring. Will we have a visit to the ER? Will we keep our "well" child visit as scheduled? Will Gracie be well tomorrow? Well, we'll just have to wait to find out.
Update: Gracie definitely will not be going to school. She was up for most of the night with a fever, vomiting, and diarrhea. When the infectious disease doctor's office opens I will call to see if they want to see her, otherwise we will convert her "well" child visit to a sick child visit and forgo the vaccinations until she's healthier.

"Cabala, a Journey on the Tree of Life" is a story I hope will be enjoyed by all; from people who have no conception of the Cabala or its meanings, to those who have studied its infinite paths for aeons. If one realisation; one new understanding of our existence may be experienced as you turn these pages...then all will have been worthwhile for me. If my writing may help to bring a new understanding, to such perplexing questions as; why do we kill our own children in wars? Or, why are we a self destructive species?...Then hopefully, some of humanities needless suffering may diminish.The story is intended to bring a basic understanding of the Cabala to people who may not have any knowledge of the concepts of cabalistic philosophy, which has for aeons been shrouded in mystery. The story follows the paths, and moves through the ten houses from the 'tree of life.' "Cabala, a Journey on the Tree of Life", explains in an easy to understand dialogue many of the influences and meanings derived from the Cabala.

Biografia

Origini
Nasce a Milano, da Roberto Bollani, milanese, e da Maddalena, di Rovigo. Ha una sorella di nome Manuela nata ad Alba in Piemonte.

Carriera musicale
I suoi genitori  per motivi di lavoro (Milano, Bologna, Firenze) e cresce a Firenze dove studia pianoforte dall'età di 6 anni e già a 15 anni inizia a esibirsi in modo professionale. Contemporaneamente studia con Luca Flores, Mauro Grossi e Franco D'Andrea e nel 1993 si diploma al Conservatorio Luigi Cherubini sotto la guida del maestro napoletano Antonio Caggiula (allievo di Paolo Denza). Dopo una breve esperienza come turnista nel mondo del pop con Raf e Jovanotti e la militanza nel gruppo pop-rock La Forma, che comprendeva anche Irene Grandi e Marco Parente, a partire dalla metà degli anni Novanta si afferma in ambito jazz.

Fondamentale è l'incontro con Enrico Rava, che lo chiama al suo fianco nel 1996. Insieme a lui tiene centinaia di concerti in tutto il mondo e incide più di quindici dischi, a partire da Certi angoli segreti (1998), Rava Plays Rava e Shades of Chet (1999). Inizia inoltre a suonare regolarmente con alcuni dei più importanti jazzisti italiani: Paolo Fresu, Roberto Gatto ed Enzo Pietropaoli.

Nel 1998, insieme al cantautore Massimo Altomare, incide il suo primo album, Gnòsi delle fànfole, su testi dall'omonimo libro di Fosco Maraini. Nello stesso anno partecipa a TenderLee for Chet – la prima delle sue numerose esperienze discografiche con il sassofonista statunitense Lee Konitz – e vince il premio della rivista Musica Jazz come miglior nuovo talento. L'anno seguente Bollani pubblica due nuovi dischi: Mambo italiano, realizzato insieme a uno dei suoi partner più fidati, il contrabbassista Ares Tavolazzi; e L'orchestra del Titanic, con la formazione omonima che, accanto a Bollani, comprende Antonello Salis, Riccardo Onori, Raffaello Pareti e Walter Paoli. Insieme ai Solisti dell'Orchestra della Toscana, prende inoltre parte a Passatori, album del fisarmonicista francese Richard Galliano.

Le collaborazioni non si limitano però nell'ambito del jazz, come testimonia Abbassa la tua radio (2000), disco-concerto a cui partecipano musicisti che hanno incrociato più volte il loro percorso artistico con Bollani: Barbara Casini, Irene Grandi, Elio, Marco Parente, Peppe Servillo, oltre a Enrico Rava Roberto Gatto e Javier Girotto. Lo stile eclettico e votato all'improvvisazione di Bollani lo porta a cimentarsi con i progetti più disparati: nel 2002 lavora come produttore artistico al disco di Bobo Rondelli Disperati, intellettuali, ubriaconi, vincendo anche il Premio Ciampi per gli arrangiamenti; nel 2004 registra Cantata dei pastori immobili, libro-cd e spettacolo per quattro voci su testi di David Riondino; suona poi con gruppi come Banda Osiris e la Bandabardò, lavora a colonne sonore di Riz Ortolani e Giovanni Nuti, affianca protagonisti storici della musica italiana come Massimo Ranieri. Nel 2007 si esibisce anche al Festival di Sanremo, come ospite nella serata del giovedì, accompagnando al piano Johnny Dorelli nel brano Meglio così (tornerà come ospite a Sanremo nell'edizione 2013, duettando con Caetano Veloso).

Non si ferma, intanto, il sodalizio con Enrico Rava. Insieme a lui Bollani firma, tra gli altri, gli album Montréal Diary/B (2001), Tati (2005), The Third Man (2007) e New York Days (2009) e partecipa a dischi e tournée internazionali che lo vedono suonare con musicisti come Gianni Basso, Gianluca Petrella, John Abercrombie, Jeff Ballard, Larry Grenadier, Paul Motian, Mark Turner, Phil Woods, Gato Barbieri e Pat Metheny. Di prestigio anche gli incontri, del 2003, con la cantante russa Sajncho Namčylak (Who Stole the Sky?) e con Hector Zazou, che lo chiama a suonare in Strong Currents (tra gli altri ospiti dell'album anche Laurie Anderson, Jane Birkin e Ryuichi Sakamoto).

Tra il 2002 e il 2006, Bollani incide quattro dischi per l'etichetta francese Label Bleu. Inaugura la serie Les fleurs bleues (2002), ispirato all'omonimo romanzo di Raymond Queneau e inciso con Scott Colley e Clarence Penn. Segue, nel 2003, Småt Småt, disco che viene segnalato dalla rivista inglese Mojo come uno dei migliori dell'anno e che contribuisce anche alla conquista del Premio Carosone. Nel 2004 – anno che culmina con il New Star Award, premio della rivista giapponese Swing journal assegnato per la prima volta a un musicista non statunitense – esce Concertone, il primo disco registrato da Bollani con un'orchestra sinfonica: l'Orchestra della Toscana diretta da Paolo Silvestri; sulle musiche del disco il coreografo Mauro Bigonzetti realizza anche un balletto per lo Stuttgart Ballet. Chiude la serie I visionari (2006), album realizzato con la band omonima formata da Mirko Guerrini, Nico Gori, Ferruccio Spinetti e Cristiano Calcagnile, con le partecipazioni speciali di Mark Feldman, Paolo Fresu e Petra Magoni (al tempo moglie di Bollani).

Contemporaneamente l'etichetta Venus Japan pubblica quattro dischi dello "Stefano Bollani Trio", formazione con Ares Tavolazzi al contrabbasso e Walter Paoli alla batteria: Black and Tan Fantasy (2002), Volare (2002), Falando de amor (2003), Ma l'amore no (2004) e I'm in the Mood for Love (2007). In parallelo Bollani avvia un'intensa collaborazione con il contrabbassista Jesper Bodilsen e il batterista Morten Lund, insieme a cui formerà il "Danish Trio". In tre anni escono, per l'etichetta Stunt, Mi ritorni in mente (2003), Close to You (2004, con la cantante danese Katrine Madsen) e Gleda: Songs from Scandinavia (2005); seguirà nel 2009, per ECM, Stone in the Water.

Cruciale nella carriera dell'artista è la pubblicazione di Piano solo nel 2006: la rivista Musica Jazz lo premia come disco dell'anno e nomina Bollani musicista italiano dell'anno (riconoscimento che otterrà anche nel 2010). Particolarmente significativo è anche il 2007, anno in cui si mette alla prova nel repertorio classico, insieme alla Filarmonica '900 del Teatro Regio di Torino diretta da Jan Latham-Koenig, registrando il Concert champêtre, Les Animaux modèles e le Improvvisazioni 13 e 15 di Francis Poulenc. Pochi mesi dopo esce BollaniCarioca, disco di grande successo internazionale realizzato insieme a importanti artisti brasiliani (dalla tournée verranno poi ricavati anche il DVD e il Blu-ray Disc Carioca Live, editi da Ermitage e prodotti da Gianni Salvioni con cui aveva già realizzato il disco Abbassa la tua radio e la rimusicazione del film muto "Come vinsi la guerra" di Buster Keaton. A dicembre 2007, Bollani suona un pianoforte a coda in una favela di Rio de Janeiro: un'impresa riuscita in precedenza solo ad Antônio Carlos Jobim. Nello stesso anno vince l'Hans Koller European Jazz Prize come migliore musicista europeo del 2007 e viene inserito dalla rivista americana All About Jazz nell'elenco dei cinque più importanti musicisti dell'anno insieme a Dave Brubeck, Ornette Coleman, Charles Mingus e Sonny Rollins.

In questo periodo proseguono le incursioni nel mondo della canzone italiana (con omaggi discografici a Luigi Tenco e Sergio Bardotti, e partecipazioni ad album di Samuele Bersani, Claudio Baglioni e, più tardi, Daniele Silvestri e Fabio Concato). La collaborazione più rilevante del periodo è però quella avviata nel 2009 con uno dei più grandi pianisti della storia del jazz, Chick Corea, insieme a cui Bollani propone un duo pianistico senza precedenti in varie città d'Italia e a Umbria Jazz Winter 2010. Da questo concerto verrà poi ricavato anche l'album live Orvieto.

Il 2010, anno in cui il Berklee College of Music assegna a Bollani la laurea honoris causa, si segnala per un nuovo grande successo discografico. Il 14 settembre 2010, per l'etichetta di musica classica Decca Records, esce Rhapsody in Blue – Concerto in F. Inciso con la Gewandhausorchester di Lipsia diretta da Riccardo Chailly, il cd contiene tre lavori del compositore statunitense George Gershwin: Rapsodia in blu (nella versione per pianoforte e jazz band ideata da Paul Whiteman), il Concerto in fa per pianoforte e orchestra e le Rialto Ripples. Il cd entra direttamente all'ottavo posto della classifica pop: in assoluto, è la prima volta in Italia che un disco di classica entra nella top ten. Il cd di Bollani e Chailly rimane in classifica per 32 settimane, per 3 settimane figura anche nella top ten e con più di  copie vendute vince il Disco di Platino.

Nel 2012 la coppia Bollani-Chailly con la Gewandhausorchester pubblica Sounds of the 30s, cd che vede l'esecuzione di grandi classici degli anni trenta: il Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra in sol maggiore di Maurice Ravel; il Tango di Igor' Stravinskij; il Tango di Kurt Weill, da L'opera da tre soldi; Surabaya Johnny dello stesso Weill, dalla commedia musicale Happy End; la suite Le mille e una notte di Victor de Sabata. Il programma del disco è anticipato, il 3 settembre 2011, da un'esibizione live nella Augustusplatz di Lipsia, con un pubblico di oltre  persone.

Sempre insieme a Chailly, Bollani si esibisce anche con l'Orchestre de Paris (alla Salle Pleyel) e con la Filarmonica della Scala (prima a teatro e poi in una gremita Piazza del Duomo a Milano). Dal concerto milanese del 21 aprile 2012, trasmesso in diretta nei cinema di quasi 20 Paesi, nasce anche il DVD Live at La Scala (2013) che comprende composizioni di George Gershwin (Catfish Row, Un americano a Parigi, Concerto in fa, Rialto Ripples) e brani di Scott Joplin (Maple Leaf Rag) e Joseph Kosma (Autumn Leaves).

Mentre si susseguono i concerti con orchestre sinfoniche – dirette tra gli altri da Daniel Harding, Kristjan Järvi, Zubin Mehta, Gianandrea Noseda e Antonio Pappano – viene registrato anche Big Band!, album con la NDR Bigband di Amburgo diretta dal sassofonista norvegese Geir Lysne (2011; Echo Jazz-Preis 2013). In seguito, dopo aver preso parte alle registrazioni dell'album Respiro del cantautore Joe Barbieri (con il quale esegue il brano Un regno da disfare), escono Irene Grandi & Stefano Bollani (2012) e O que serà (2013), disco che comprende registrazioni dal vivo dell'anno precedente con il musicista brasiliano Hamilton de Holanda. Nel 2014 è la volta di Sheik Yer Zappa, tributo – registrato dal vivo nel 2011 – alla musica di Frank Zappa, che Bollani definisce così: "Un rocker che prendeva in giro con sarcasmo il mondo del quale faceva parte, canzonandone gli stereotipi e agendo in modo diametralmente opposto a quello dei suoi colleghi". Sempre nel 2014, riprendono le pubblicazioni con il Danish Trio ed esce Joy in Spite of Everything, album impreziosito dalla presenza di Mark Turner e Bill Frisell e premiato da Musica Jazz come miglior disco dell'anno. Il 26 settembre arriva un altro importante riconoscimento internazionale, con l'assegnazione a Bollani del JTI Trier Jazz Award.

Nel settembre 2015 il pianista partecipa all'iniziativa di Musica Jazz in ricordo di Sergio Endrigo nel decennale della scomparsa, interpretando insieme a David Riondino un medley di canzoni di Endrigo nella raccolta Momenti di jazz. Nello stesso mese esce Arrivano gli alieni, disco in cui si cimenta per la prima volta come cantautore, seguito nel 2016 dall'album in solo Live from Mars (allegato al settimanale L'Espresso e al quotidiano la Repubblica) e dal nuovo progetto Napoli Trip: accompagnato da Daniele Sepe, Nico Gori, Manu Katché e Jan Bang, e affiancato da ospiti come Arve Henriksen, Audun Kleive e Hamilton de Holanda, Bollani rende omaggio a uno dei suoi amori di sempre, la musica napoletana. Sempre nel 2016 partecipa al disco di Hamilton de Holanda Samba de chico e, nel brano Vai trabalhar vagabundo, suona anche con Chico Buarque. Nel 2017 pubblica Mediterraneo, live registrato nella Sala Grande della Berliner Philharmonie insieme ai componenti del Danish Trio Jesper Bodilsen e Morten Lund, al fisarmonicista francese Vincent Peirani e a quattordici elementi dell'Orchestra filarmonica di Berlino. Nel concerto, diretto e arrangiato da Geir Lysne, rivisita grandi classici del repertorio italiano, da Monteverdi, Leoncavallo, Puccini e Rossini fino a Rota, Morricone e Paolo Conte. Nel maggio 2018 Bollani pubblica Que bom, primo disco della sua etichetta discografica Aloba: composto da brani inediti e interamente registrato a Rio de Janeiro, vede la partecipazione fra gli altri di Caetano Veloso e João Bosco. Sempre per Aloba, ad aprile 2020, esce Piano Variations on Jesus Christ Superstar, libera rivisitazione per pianoforte solo della colonna sonora di Jesus Christ Superstar, a cinquant'anni dalla pubblicazione. Il suo album più recente è El Chakracanta, registrato dal vivo a Buenos Aires con l'Orquesta Sin Fin, diretta da Exequiel Mantega, e disponibile dal 26 marzo 2021.

Radio
Per la radio, Bollani è stato ideatore e conduttore, con David Riondino e Mirko Guerrini, della trasmissione Il Dottor Djembè. Via dal solito tam tam, in onda su Rai Radio 3 dal 2006 al 2012. Dal programma sono nati anche il libro Lo zibaldone del Dottor Djembè (2008), lo speciale tv Buonasera Dottor Djembè (Rai 3, 2010) e il cd Il Dottor Djembe live (2012), che vede la partecipazioni di ospiti come Fabrizio Bentivoglio, Paolo Benvegnù, Enrico Dindo, Patrizio Fariselli e Gianluigi Trovesi.

Dal 19 al 30 ottobre 2020, con la moglie Valentina Cenni ha condotto Evviva!, programma in dieci puntate in onda dal lunedì al venerdì alle ore 13:00 su Rai Radio 3.

Nel settembre 2008 ha firmato tutte le sigle del palinsesto di Radio Rai 3, molte delle quali ancora in onda (fra le altre, le sigle di GR3 e Onda Verde).

Televisione

In televisione è stato ospite fisso di Renzo Arbore nel programma Meno siamo meglio stiamo (Rai 1, 2005) e poi ideatore, autore e conduttore delle due edizioni di Sostiene Bollani (Rai 3, 2011 e 2013), programma con cui, insieme a Caterina Guzzanti, porta la musica jazz sul piccolo schermo. Il 1º dicembre 2011, sul quotidiano Metro, il critico Mariano Sabatini ha commentato: "Dai tempi di Alessandro Baricco e L'amore è un dardo, Stefano Bollani è forse l'unico vero nuovo personaggio che la tv abbia proposto".

È tornato, nel 2016, alla conduzione televisiva con L'importante è avere un piano: sette appuntamenti in seconda serata su Rai 1 con ospiti, improvvisazioni e musica dal vivo. Il 1º gennaio 2020, sempre su Rai 1, è apparso nel programma di Roberto Bolle Danza con me, dove ha accompagnato Andrea Bocelli in Con te partirò, brano danzato dallo stesso Bolle in coppia con Nicoletta Manni, prima ballerina della Scala di Milano.

Dal 15 marzo 2021 al 3 maggio 2021, insieme a Valentina Cenni, ha condotto su Rai 3 la prima edizione di Via dei Matti nº0, trasmissione in onda dalle ore 20:20 alle 20:45, grazie alla quale si è aggiudicato il Premio Flaiano per il miglior programma culturale. Dalla trasmissione, tornata in onda il 5 settembre 2022, è nato anche un album omonimo che raccoglie 20 brani presentati nel corso della prima edizione.

Il 18 marzo 2021, in prima visione, Rai 1 ha inoltre trasmesso Carosello Carosone (regia di Lucio Pellegrini), film per la televisione di cui Bollani ha firmato le musiche interpretando anche un cameo, nel ruolo di Alberto Curci.

Progetti teatrali
A teatro ha lavorato sia in scena che come autore delle musiche. Tra le produzioni di maggior successo si ricorda Guarda che luna! (2001, diventato poi un DVD), spettacolo in cui si è esibito con Gianmaria Testa, Banda Osiris, Enrico Rava, Enzo Pietropaoli e Piero Ponzo. Come autore delle musiche, ha lavorato più volte con Lella Costa (Alice. Una meraviglia di paese, Amleto e Ragazze) e con i registi Giorgio Gallione e Cristina Pezzoli.

Nella stagione teatrale 2015/2016, ha portato in scena lo spettacolo La regina Dada, scritto, interpretato e diretto insieme a Valentina Cenni.

Nel 2016 è interprete e autore delle musiche dello spettacolo Wonderland. Cchiù scuru di mezzenotti un po' fari, diretto da Daniele Ciprì, scritto da Damiano Bruè e Nicola Ragone, e prodotto dal Teatro Stabile di Bolzano.

Progetti editoriali
Ha al suo attivo diversi libri. Tra questi L'America di Renato Carosone (2004), il romanzo La sindrome di Brontolo (2006), e i più recenti Parliamo di musica (2013) e Il monello, il guru, l'alchimista e altre storie di musicisti (2015), due viaggi nella storia della musica scritti con Alberto Riva.

Nel 2005, in veste di autore/recensore ha contribuito alla nascita della rivista Giudizio Universale.

Ha inoltre scritto prefazioni per libri come: George Martin, L'estate di Sgt. Pepper. Come i Beatles e George Martin crearono Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (La Lepre edizioni, 2013); Anne Givaudan e Riccardo Geminiani, La maga e la bambina (Trigono Edizioni, 2017); Tom Robbins, Tibetan peach pie. Cronache di una vita immaginifica (Tlon, 2017); Robert Anton Wilson, Sex, drugs & magick (Spazio interiore, 2020); Angelo Branduardi con Fabio Zuffanti, Confessioni di un malandrino. Autobiografia di un cantore del mondo (Baldini+Castoldi, 2022).

Vita privata
Ha avuto una lunga relazione con la cantante Petra Magoni, da cui ha avuto due figli. Successivamente si è sposato con l'attrice Valentina Cenni.

Omaggi
A Bollani è ispirato il personaggio dei fumetti Disney Paperefano Bolletta, musicista amico di Paperino, che compare per la prima volta nella storia Paperino e il segreto del tenore smemorato sul numero 2808 di Topolino (22 settembre 2009), e torna poi in Paperinik e le note criminali (n. 2860, 21 settembre 2010) e Paperinik e il mistero del falso che è vero (n. 3092, 25 febbraio 2015). Alle tre storie e al personaggio sono dedicate anche le copertine dei rispettivi numeri di Topolino.

#ncpol: A front-runner for NCGOP E.D.?
Posted on June 18, 2019 June 18, 2019 by Brant Clifton
It's going to take someone special to fill Dallas's over-sized clown shoes. But word is leaking out about a familiar name ( to political insiders) being the front runner for the job.
Does the name Jim Burton ring any bells? If not, here's a refresher from last year:
In an apparent attempt to dilute votes for the North Carolina Democratic Party's endorsed candidates, a shadowy group linked to Republican consultants is sending mailers "recruiting Democratic lawyers to run for judge."
Wake County Commissioner John Burns, a Democrat, tweeted photos of the mailers over the weekend. "North Carolina needs strong Democratic voices on the bench for Supreme Court and Court of Appeals," the mailer says under an image of Uncle Sam.
The group behind the mailers and an associated website is calling itself The Alliance for Fairness in Justice. The group's IRS registration form lists former N.C. House Republican Caucus Director Jim Burton as its primary contact.
Burton is no longer on the NCGOP staff but works as an independent political consultant for Republican candidates, including N.C. House candidate Bobby Hanig's campaign. He did not respond to an email inquiry Sunday. […]

#hayesscandal: New judge? Dem replaced by Republican
#ncga: A majority leader and his money
22 thoughts on "#ncpol: A front-runner for NCGOP E.D.?"
MAGA Conservative says:
NCGOP wantss to hire the guy who lost the race for Barbara Jackson? Tillis should hire him too.
Deanne Brown says:
Kelsey Brown is the man you need for this job. He doesn't want to be out in front of the cameras but behind the people of this Grand Old Party! Help bring law and order back to the Party we love. Stand up for what is right by electing Kelsey Brown as your new E.D.
Toxhandler says:
That would go a long way towards actually uniting the Party. Quite a few county leaders who have strained relations with the NCGOP, trust him. But given their last hire, not sure the Central Committee are competent enough to see his worth.
The Conservative Pelican says:
I agree with you that Kelsey Brown would be a great choice for ED. He currently is Chair of the 8th Congressional District so he has experience with knowing how the State Party operates and he endorsed Jim Womack in the 2019 Chairman's race so he will be friendly to the Tea Party wing of the GOP.
Reaganite says:
Has Kelsey Brown applied? I hope he has because he sounds like just what we need, someone who has worked within the party structure and knows the ropes and how things are supposed to be. An outsider like Woodhouse comes in and makes up his own rules, which was a whole lot of the problem with Woodhouse. A Raleigh political operative who has never worked within the party structure is not what the NCGOP needs, and someone from out of state would be even worse.
From what I am told, Woodhouse was heavily promoting Jim Burton as a consultant with legislative candidates, although it looks like the only one who hired him was Hanig. That suggests that Woodhouse also may be the one who pushed Burton for the ED position. We do not need Woodhouse 2.0. Another concern for conservatives is Burton's background of working for the House GOP leadership, and that leadership is not noted for being particularly friendly to conservatives or to the party grassroots.
Kelsey Brown says:
I have applied but it appears that people I will not name at this time have put the halts to my chances.
I do know that one certain person was not on the committee at all and now has a major role in this decision.
It will be up to the Central Committee to make this choice but will they follow blindly like the Excom did after the convention.
Only time will tell…..
Thanks for the positive comments from readers of this publication and I am strongly conservative in all my views. I would only like to see the NCGOP succeed and be fair to all Republican candidates.
Good to hear you applied. I hear there may be one or two other applicants who have a strong background within the NCGOP party organization. I very much hope someone with that background gets the position. With a chairman who has little background or experience within the party organization, that experience will be critical for the new ED. This Burton guy clearly lacks it, and that would be a kick in the teeth for the grassroots.
It is also essential that the new ED be either aligned with conservatives or at least acceptable to conservatives. Burton is not. The one legislative race Burton has consulted in was a liberal Republican challenging a conservative incumbent in a primary which puts him very much on the wrong side of things. To make matters even worse, Burton used a dirty and distorted personal attack at the last minute to narrowly defeat that incumbent, which is rubbing salt in the wounds. Conservatives and the grassroots should shun the state party organization if Woodhouse's favorite "baby consultant" is hired as ED.
When the smoke clears on this appointment, the grassroots needs to know the whole story of how it happens, and this site usually is who brings us up to speed on such things. I will be waiting for the analysis. If there are bad actors in the process, we need to know who they are.
Trumpgal1957 says:
Michael Whatley ran on winning judicial races which have been grossly neglected. We don't need anymore "cute" tactics that give us frauds like Chris Anglin. We need smart and steady leadership. I hope they are looking at some female candidates!
So this guy ran Hanig's extremely dirty primary campaign against conservative GOP incumbent Beverly Boswell? That should destroy any trust for him among conservatives and grassroots Republicans and disqualify him from the position. If anything, Burton would be even worse than Woodhouse.. Burton is proven to be anti-conservative, and Hanig has turned out to be quite the liberal in the NC House.
TrueConservative58 says:
A very large part of the problem is this: The GOP primary allows "unaffiliated" voters to be included. This skews the winners of all primaries to the moderate center, or worse. The GOP leadership knows this, and that is why they do NOTHING to correct it. The fact that a Chris Anglin
could even have run as a republican also shows we have NO party control over the "definition" of a republican, nor discipline to kick out dems who "become" republican to run and be a spoiler in a race. The question always is: "WHO BENEFITS"? Cui Bono? The establishment republicans are taking this party down the road to eventual split, UNLESS they begin to truly act more inclusive of true conservatives and allow participation in leadership and in strategy decision making. I will not hold my breath for those.
Close the primaries
Too bad convention delegates were again not given a chance to vote on the matter. When asked why the related resolution from District 11 (forwarded on a 2:1 vote) did not make the cut, the Resolution Committee Chair informed me it was voted down at committee because the issue had failed the past three years. I'm told a similar submission was made by about half of the districts. Looks like the resolution votes at district conventions are moot when the state committee holds all of the cards.
We're playing poker against a stacked deck.
Yond says:
Why not make a motion from the floor to amend the Plan of Organization? The procedure is straight forward. The state committee doesn't hold all of the cards unless you allow it.
I believe state law stipulates a semi-closed primary system. A state party resolution would urge GOP legislators to make the change. Of course delegates will need the opportunity to vote on it. And offering a resolution from the floor was moot this time. Resolutions never came up during the convention business sessions—clock ran out dealing with PoO amendments. Argh!
John Zumwalt says:
I understand your logic – And I imagine it comes from experience. I'd like to disagree with you.
I am unaffiliated. I am 70 years old and became unaffiliated recently because I felt the party had abandoned Republican values. I am blessed to live in Moore County where most Republicans still hold the old time Reagen and the modern Trump values.
I believe most unaffiliated voters are very conservative. Events like the election of Mrs Chu will go a long way towards bringing us back to the party.
Closing the primaries would also bring people back to the party cause if they wanted to make a choice in the primaries they need to commit to a party. Many of us are also fed up with the party but we have not walked away from it but kept trying to fix it…. Why should people that walk away still get a say in the matter they would be welcome to vote in the general just not the primary
Remember, unaffiliated voters are more moderate than conservative. So long as the GOPe is in charge, the primaries will not be closed. Let the unaffiliated voters have their own primaries.
Clayton Loflin says:
Follow the money and remember that the GOP allows anyone with a
check book to have a seat at the table. Some people should start asking…."Why are you here?"
PS… We're letting people move in here and run for mayor who
could not get an appointment with the mayor where they came from.
The party needs to vet better.
Someone once told me that my opinion in the party did not matter till I gave $5000 and then another $5000 and then $5000 more to the party #TrueStory
That's a bald faced lie. The numbers are MUCH larger.


Saturday's afternoon wedding for Andrew Sampson and Casey Cash was at the United Methodist Church in Spring City, TN. Casey described Spring City as "Mayberry", and it is definitely a cute little country town. With the green, rolling hills and white, fluffy clouds, the drive from Knoxville was scenic and relaxing.
Andrea was a very composed, adaptable bride. Unlike some weddings that can be stressful and hectic, this wedding was easy breezy with the focus on the couple and their marriage. After the ceremony, the guests moved to the church's fellowship hall for the reception.
