Classic In Conversation: Meet Ben Folds
Listen to this Classic Ben Folds Interview from 1996 as You Lose Yourself in the Just-Released Box Set, Brick
The release of the massive, 13-disc box set Brick (Edsel), covering all of the Ben Folds Five and Ben Folds solo releases and a whole lot more, prompted me to set the WAYBAC machine for March 26, 1996–just one year after the original, weekly Pure Pop Radio show began.
On that day, more than 22 years ago, I conducted a short but oh-so-sweet interview on the run with the great Ben Folds, just after his high-energy (read: energetic and LOUD) Ben Folds Five show at Washington, D.C.'s 9:30 Club concluded. The self-titled, first Five album had been released only seven months prior, but you would never have known it by the roaring reaction from the packed crowd.
My power-packed chat with Ben began just outside his dressing room and continued down to the stage where he and his band set to breaking down his setup and packing their instruments and equipment into a waiting U-Haul truck. This included Ben's 1972 well-worn Baldwin piano, a well-used specimen if ever there was one. Ben and I talked about his approach to playing piano, being compared to Elton John and Billy Joel, and his love of the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star," which the band played that night and subsequently covered on record. And lots more.
This is one of my favorite interviews that I've done over the years. I hope you enjoy it.

Amazon's Alexa Skills Kit Is a Health Care Game Changer
Alexa can now securely transmit and receive personalized medical information.
April 16, 2019 • By Alicia Green
Amazon has made its way into the health care market with the purchase of an online pharmacy, the expansion of its commerce to include the sale of supplies to hospitals and the launch of its own line of over-the-counter products. Now, the tech and e-commerce giant has gone one step further and introduced HIPAA-compliant software that allows developers to create new health tools for Alexa, reports STAT.
The Alexa Skills Kit software helps developers build voice programs, or tools, that give Amazon's virtual assistant the ability to securely transmit a patient's private information in compliance with the health privacy law known as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA).
"Every day developers are inventing with voice to build helpful and convenient experiences for their customers," announced Amazon in a blog post. "These new [Alexa] skills are designed to help customers manage a variety of health care needs at home simply using voice."
Amazon invited six health care providers to build voice programs using the kit to create new tools for their businesses, which are described below:
Express Scripts: This leading pharmacy services organization created a tool that enables members to check the status of home delivery prescriptions and receive Alexa notifications when shipped.
Cigna Health Today: The global health service company's voice program allows eligible employees with one of the company's large national accounts to manage their health improvement goals and increase opportunities for earning personalized wellness incentives.
My Children's Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS): With Boston Children's Hospital's new tool, parents and caregivers of children in the ERAS program can provide updates on their children's recovery progress to their care teams and receive information regarding post-op appointments.
Swedish Health Connect: Developed by Providence St. Joseph Health, a health care system with 51 hospitals across seven states and 829 clinics, this tool allows customers to find a nearby urgent care center and schedule same-day appointments.
Atrium Health: Through this health care system of more than 40 hospitals and 900 locations, customers in North and South Carolina can use a tool to find a nearby urgent care center and schedule a same-day appointment.
Livongo: Members of this leading consumer digital health company can now query their last blood sugar reading and blood sugar measurement trends and receive insights and personalized health nudges using the company's new tool.
Amazon plans to give additional developers access to the kit in the future, potentially making it easier for people to access and manage their health care services and needs.

Formerly Greenstone of Heathcote, Greenstone Vineyards began in 2003 as a 40 hectare property near the town of Heathcote at Colbinabbin, about a 90 minute drive north of Melbourne. Lying just north of the Great Dividing Range, at an altitude of around 200 metres, the vineyard is positioned on the ridge of old Cambrian soil that runs through the eastern side of the range. This narrow strip is unique, not only to vine growing in Victoria, but in Australia.
The soils are the oldest known in the country, originating over 550 million years ago. Most soils of volcanic origin in Australia are young and highly acidic whereas these ancient Cambrian soils are near neutral in pH. The range itself is a result of a rift in the sea floor, from which molten rock arose, encapsulating limestone into the lava. The resulting soil is deep, red-coloured, mottled with lime and impart low vigour to the 20 hectares of vines growing in it.
It is from these soils that the winery derives its name – The Heathcote 'greenstone' is a form of copper-infused basalt, and is an integral part of the soil. The climate and generous red soils of the Heathcote vineyard create a unique combination that is ideal for producing outstanding Shiraz and Sangiovese wine. It is the identification of this prime location that has shaped the Greenstone philosophy – find the best locations to grow the best grapes, regardless of the wine variety. This is the base from which Greenstone crafts and creates outstanding wines, by utilising outstanding
locations, which in turn produce outstanding grapes, and employing the best in winemaking techniques.
Our focus on producing only the finest wines from the finest grapes means that Greenstone has only ever produced very small quantities of wine – we are not interested in making higher volume commercial wines, rather small volume, handcrafted and premium wines.
The 'success' of Greenstone's Heathcote wines led the team to explore opportunities to expand the wine range beyond just the high quality Shiraz and Sangiovese wines Greenstone has become known for. Upholding the requirement to find the best locations for each varietal, the search led to the Yarra Valley – the home of some of Australia's finest Pinot Noir, Chardonnay & Cabernet varietals. The Yarra Valley vineyard has a long history of producing outstanding wines perfectly suited to, and reflecting, the local climate and soils – a critical part of the Greenstone winemaking philosophy.
In securing our Yarra Valley vineyard and winery we also created the opportunity to open a cellar door only 1 hour from Melbourne's CBD. The picturesque winery is situated on 90 acres at the base of the Christmas Hills – of which 60 acres are under vine.
Originally Yarra Ridge, the winery was more recently known as Sticks Yarra Valley. Greenstone Vineyards completed the acquisition of the vineyard and winery in January 2015. The expansion of our vineyard and wine portfolio hasn't changed our views on what makes a great wine – we've just created the opportunity to produce a wider range of wine varietals in the way that we think great wines are made – by starting with the best sites that produce the best grapes. These wines will be a reflection of the unique characteristics of their regional site.
Han Tao Lau
Han was first introduced to wine during the wine tastings that followed tutorials at high school. While the tutorials may not have done much for his academic proficiency, they ignited his interest in wine. Years later, studies and travel in Europe, and in particular, new friendships with a Japanese and a German sommelier led to serious consideration in a career in wine.
Winemaking studies at the University of Adelaide followed, along with harvests in France, Germany, and various Australian regions. After 14 harvests in the Yarra Valley, he now heads up the winemaking team at Greenstone Vineyards.
"Working at Greenstone Vineyards is a dream come true, as we are able to work with an array of beautiful estate-grown fruit, whether it's the cool climate varieties from our Yarra Valley vineyard or the warmer climate Mediterranean varieties from our Heathcote vineyard. Both vineyards have outstanding terroir, and it is such a privilege to work with this incredible fruit grown on ancient soils, with a passionate, closely-knit team."
Sam Atherton
Sam's interest in wine began in the early 2000s. Trips with friends to the Barossa and Yarra Valleys quickly turned an interest in wine into a love of wine.
In 2006, while working in the hospitality industry Sam completed a sommelier course which further cemented his decision to work in the wine industry.
After a year of helping to manage boutique wine shops around the South-Eastern suburbs of Melbourne, a brief stint working as a cocktail bartender in 5.5 star hotel in Melbourne and a few months working as an underground geo-technician in gold mine in outback W.A., Sam headed over to Europe for a backpacking adventure. It was after several amazing wine experiences in Western Europe that he decided to enrol in a winemaking degree back in Melbourne.
While completing his degree, he was fortunate to start vintage work at Domaine Chandon in the Yarra Valley. He worked in the cellar at Chandon for 6 years and worked a harvest at their Chandon Californian property in 2015. On his return the opportunity to work with
Travis Bush at Greenstone Vineyards was the perfect way to further his passion for varietal wines.
"I feel privileged to work with ultra-premium fruit from both our Heathcote and Yarra Valley vineyards and our small dedicated team that are all passionate about producing the best wines from this fruit. Each one of the Greenstone wines has a unique story that I am always excited to share with people"
The journey and passion for wine continues….
Amanda Flynn
Amanda grew up in Wagga Wagga NSW, Australia. Her grandparents owned a large broad acre country property in Ardlethan and although every weekend and summer was spent on the farm she wanted to travel and explore.
After a failed attempt at a law degree at 19 years of age Amanda flew to New York to work for Princeton University as an experiential education officer.
Further travels in 1999 led Amanda to the UK where she gained her first Sommelier training in London working at Harvey Nicol's 5th floor restaurant in Knightsbridge and this is where her love of wine and fine food began.
For the next 10 years Amanda worked in fine dining restaurants, wine bars, cocktail bars, pubs and venues in the UK –London and Galway and in Australia – Sydney and Melbourne. In every role from General Manager to booze slinger.
Back in Australia Amanda also completed a Bachelor of Arts Management at the Australian Institute of Music in Sydney.
After the birth of her first child, Amanda wanted to build on her wine knowledge and started a Bachelor of Wine Science degree at Charles Sturt University. Amanda moved to the Yarra Valley where she worked for wineries – Dominique Portet (9th generation winemaker from Bordeaux), Yeringberg (The De Pury family of Yeringberg who are one of the founding families of the Yarra Valley wine industry and an iconic Australian winery), Wine Unplugged and Greenstone Vineyards increasing her passion for wine making.
Now with the degree completed her next adventure will be to experience some overseas vintages to further her knowledge.
"Wine is for me, an ever-evolving passion. There is so much to learn, so many regions, so many varietals, styles and winemaking techniques to discover and master"
"The reason I became a winemaker was for the endless learning possibilities this industry offers. Being able to work at Greenstone with our two regional vineyards, the array of varietals and the highly experienced team has only fueled my passion for winemaking"

Managing the day to day aspects of a business can be tiring enough, but with the pressure on every business owner these days, it's easy to forget about the legalities of insurance. If you own a business, there are many aspects of it which need to be insured, from your staff to your goods and services. For example, a vegetable farm might have to insure their workers, their machinery, plus their fleet of trucks or vans which deliver the produce.
It can be difficult to wade through the practicalities of insurance, so you should use an insurance broker. Here at Weir Insurance, we believe in customer satisfaction and in finding the right quote which will suit every need and aspect of one's business. However, in this article, we'll take a look at a few reasons as to why you should consider hiring a broker to find the right insurance. In Newcastle and Northumberland, there are many insurance brokers available to you, but Weir Insurance prides itself as being an insurance broker which combines in-depth experience with great customer service, leading you to a more profitable deal that works for everyone.
Brokers have decades worth of experience to help customers get the best possible quote. For example, take us here at Weir Insurance. We have been assisting customers with their insurance since 1972, so that's almost forty years! With our number of staff working here for decades, if you add up each member's experience, it would be hundreds of years' worth of experience. Nothing beats the time tested experience of brokers, because they have the finesse to find the companies with the best cover at the best rates, and their intuition can help give you the advice you need.
With so many insurance companies out there, wading through lists of insurance companies and their rates is like going through a minefield, and with each company offering tens of options, it can be very difficult to know which is the best deal.
Some companies offer discounts, depending on how many years you've been with them, while others might combine rates together to give you the best deal. However, finding these deals takes more than a lot of work and time, it might also depend on luck. Since you're looking through so many companies and the rates they offer, you might miss out on a great deal or on a combination which will earn you the best money.
With an insurance broker, they will scan through every company and every option they provide, to ensure that you're covering everything you need, at the best affordable price. Insurance brokers know which insurance companies provide the best experience and value for certain businesses, and what covers they want.
With an insurance broker, all you have to do is give them the details of your business and what you want to insure, and leave them do the rest! By allowing us to use our time-tested experience in getting you a great quote, you won't have to worry about anything. As long as we have all the details, such as what you want to cover and how many employees to insure, etc., you'll have more time to keep running your business and make sure everything is running smoothly. Managing an entire business is a lot more efficient, when you don't have to worry about insurance, too!
If you're living anywhere in Northumberland or Newcastle, and you want an insurance broker that will combine the three benefits mentioned above into a solid customer experience, you should choose Weir Insurance! We'll help you get the best deal, use our knowledge and invaluable experience to find the best quote, and give you a great customer experience. You're in good hands!

The Asian Banker Excellence in Retail Financial Services and Technology Innovation Award is the most rigorous, prestigious and transparent country level award programme for consumer financial services and technology in Middle East & Africa.
We assess banks and non-banks in Middle East & Africa on a product and business level through a comprehensive evaluation process. Previously, we assessed banks based on criteria and scorecards which we believed the retail banking proposition and technology proposition should be. However, in line with the rapid transformation the financial industry is experiencing today we have also revamped our awards programme. For 2018, we have redefined categories, introduced new scorecards and opened the programme to financial technology (fintech) companies, marketplace platforms and other alternative providers. Thus, non-bank players in Middle East & Africa are eligible and invited to participate in the programme, in addition to commercial banks.
We invite financial institutions and technology companies to make submissions to the 5th Excellence in Retail Financial Services and Technology Innovation Middle East & Africa Awards. The submission deadline is Dec 31, 2018. Please contact Mr Aman Kler at akler@theasianbanker.com if you are interested in participating in this or any future awards.
Every year, The Asian Banker recognises achievements in the key business and operational areas of the financial services industry. The purpose of these awards is to recognise annual achievements and winners in the competition for market share, product and operational excellence.
The Transaction Awards, previously called The Transaction Banking Awards, evaluate financial institution's achievements in cash management, payments, and trade finance. From 2018 onwards, we take on an audit-based approach in the building of evaluation process. We have also redefined categories and opened the programme to financial technology (fintech) platforms to compete alongside traditional banks.
This involves submissions completing in a comprehensive data sheet where we need to have your basic quantitative figures which will be collated and compared with your peers in the industry. Some of the figures will be used to build a comprehensive understanding of involving best practices and benchmarks that the industry can use on a generic base without compromising the confidentiality and competitive data.
The winners for these awards are determined through a combination of surveys, interviews and field research by The Asian Banker's research staff. The findings of the research are published in a neutral manner, with a scorecard outlining how the different domestic and global players feature in them.
The programme is intended to be global, and we hold all of the nominees for the awards against global benchmarks and best practices. By building experience and nurturing relationships, we have been gradually extending our main coverage from the Asia Pacific region to the Middle East and Africa. We also recognise outside the region those global leaders whose unique capabilities are truly second to none, applying concise industry skills to vast, incredibly complex institutions that span continents.

Danny Rose Insists Tottenham Players Were Overjoyed Following Win Over Arsenal
Anirban Sarkar
Danny Rose insists Tottenham Hotspur players were over the moon following their 2-0 victory over Arsenal in the Carabao Cup quarter final.
Goals from Dele Alli and Heung-Min Son were enough as Spurs took sweet revenge of their earlier defeat in the Premier League. Unai Emery's side came from behind to register a 4-2 victory but this time they were no match for their North London rivals.
Spurs booked a semi-final clash with Chelsea and Mauricio Pochettino will have a serious chance to end their trophy drought. The Argentine has been recently linked with the vacant Manchester United managerial role but the manager is pretty focused on his current job and is likely to ramp up the intensity to get past the final hurdle.
Rose said, "We were fully relishing the opportunity.
"Our only motivation was remembering the nonsense that Arsenal posted after the game a few weeks ago.
"That was our motivation. Players that have only played 10 games for Arsenal were getting ahead of themselves. We used that in a positive way. It's karma. They fully deserve what they got.
"We had the motivation of getting to the semi-final, so we're over the moon.
"But the cherry on top was silencing them after remembering how they celebrated like they had won the league.
"We've put that result right. We'll see where they are come the end of the season and we'll see where we are."

How to find your Spotify Wrapped 2022 and see all the music you loved this year
By William Antonelli
You can now see your Spotify Wrapped for 2022.
Spotify Wrapped — the feature that shows your favorite songs, artists, and genres of the year — is back.
Your Spotify Wrapped gets updated every year and comes with a playlist of your top 100 songs.
You can find your Spotify Wrapped story and playlists in the mobile app.
In 2022, it's never been easier to find and listen to songs you love, whether it's a new chart-topper or a classic jam. And music lovers know that there are few things more fun than gushing to someone about your new musical obsessions.
That's what makes Spotify Wrapped so great. Wrapped is a feature that shows you a slideshow (or "story") of the songs and artists you've listened to the most over the past year, what new music you've discovered, and an exact count of how many minutes you spent listening to music. You also get a playlist with your 100 most listened to songs, along with some other goodies depending on the year.
Your Spotify Wrapped updates every year, and is easy to share on social media or with friends. Here's how to find this year's Spotify Wrapped story and playlist, as well as how to find your playlists from the past.
How to find your Spotify Wrapped 2022 story and playlists
Whenever a new Spotify Wrapped update drops, there's a good chance that you'll see a notification about it as soon as you open the app. But if you don't see it, here's how to find your Wrapped.
1. Open the Spotify app and tap the Your Wrapped is here box.
Tap the Wrapped pop-up when it appears.
Spotify; Elena Matarazzo/Insider
2. Your Wrapped story will open. Wrapped 2022 is 12 parts long and includes your top genres, your Audio Day, how many minutes you spent streaming, your top song, and more. Tap the Share this story option at any point along the way to send the slide you're on to friends or social media.
Spotify Wrapped is pretty comprehensive.
3. When you get to the slide about the Your Top Songs 2022 playlist, tap Add to Your Library. This will save a playlist with your top 100 songs of the year (plus one extra), so you can open and listen to it at any time.
Your "Top Songs" are the ones you listened to the most.
4. You'll also get to meet your listening personality. You will learn which of 16 different Spotify-created personality types you are based on your listening habits.
"Your Listening Personality" is a new feature that dives deeper into your music taste and what you listen to.
5. At the end of the Wrapped story, Spotify will give you a handy card with all of your most important musical info. Tap Share to save it as a picture, text it, post it on social media, and more.
You can share on Instagram, TikTok, and more.
Quick tip: Once you've gone through your Wrapped story, you can find the Your Top Songs 2022 playlist in Your Library. It'll hold the 100 songs you listened to most this year.
You'll find the playlist in Your Library, with the rest of your playlists.
If you want to find your old Wrapped stories, you're out of luck — they're only available to view for a limited time. But you can see your old Wrapped playlists via the Spotify website.
Every Wrapped playlist gets saved to a specific URL, and opening that URL while you're logged into your Spotify account will show you your Wrapped playlists.
Important: Spotify doesn't create your Wrapped playlists automatically — it waits for you to go through the process we outlined above. If you can't find your Wrapped playlist for a specific year, it probably means that you didn't do it that year.
Head to the Spotify website and log into your account. Then open one of these links:
Wrapped 2021
You can find your personal Wrapped playlists on Spotify's website.
Weirdly, you can't find your Wrapped 2016 playlist at its own link — instead, you'll find it at the Wrapped 2019 link. Unfortunately, Wrapped 2015 doesn't seem to be around anymore.

Home / All Wines / 2015 Merkin Vineyards JANE PINK
Merkin Vineyards JANE PINK
Well, hello there. The ever flirtatious Jane Pink is 100% Monastrell from Cochise Co., AZ. Pace yourself. KEEP IN MIND, IF TEMPERATURES DROP/SPIKE WE WILL HOLD ORDERS UNTIL IT WARMS UP/COOLS DOWN. LIMITED QUANTITIES.
Jane Pink is a 100% Monastrell Rosé from the Buhl Memorial Vineyard, Willcox, in the Kansas Settlement of Cochise County, AZ. 4300 ft. elevation
Buhl Memorial Vineyard, Willcox, AZ
The Al Buhl Memorial Vineyard lies at the eastern edge of Sulfur Springs Valley (alongside the Willcox Playa) in what is known as the Kansas Settlement. The vineyard site is 80 acres with 60 acres planted. The soils are relatively deep loams and clay-loams interspersed with cobbles. The vineyard sits at 4300 feet and experiences up to 50 degree fluctuations in diurnal temperatures during the growing season. Harvest usually starts in late August and runs into early October. From here we source Syrah & Garnacha for the PRIMER PASO, Tempranillo and Garnacha for the SANCHA and occasional VSC offerings, Sangiovese Grosso for the KITSUNÉ, and a handful of whites for The Diddler and VSC offerings. The oldest 20 acres of the vineyard were planted in 1983 so some of the oldest vines here are 29 years in age.


We believe major bank dividends are sustainable. This is despite a challenging operating environment that we feel is being reasonably managed to grow profitably at a steady rate and lower overall earnings volatility. In this report, we look at historical precedents to make our case.
Recent steps taken have included strengthening the balance sheet, focusing on the more profitable retail and business banking lines, offsetting higher funding costs through lending rate rises (as always, unofficially implementing monetary policy on behalf of the RBA!), further reducing the cost base and taking actions to remediate issues raised by the banking inquiry.
This optimism is also based on the understanding that loan impairment expenses (LIE) – being the key driver behind banks' significant dividend intentions – should not increase to levels experienced in past crises due to de-risking efforts to date [i.e. away from unsecured personal lending (193bp GLA) and real estate construction (114bp GLA), and towards mortgages (3bp GLA)] and expectations of a stable economy.
To put this into perspective, bank sector dividends have gone backwards only on three occasions in the last 39 years and these followed: (1) the 1987 crash (15% reduction, BDD charges exceeded 50bp); (2) the early-1990s recession (35% reduction, BDD charges increased to 267%); and (3) the GFC (23% reduction, BDD charges reached 42bp).
The reasons were largely due to poor assessment of commercial lending risks and unique economic events such as external liquidity shocks and a combination of high inflation and high interest and unemployment rates. This is unlike today's economic setting and more conservative lending practices. The banks have also improved their capital, funding and liquidity positions since the GFC and these should further enhance the sustainability of their dividends. Finally, major bank dividends remain highly attractive relative to term deposit and cash account rates (on average by as much as 6.5% and 8.0% respectively).
Our preferred major banks are WBC (lower earnings volatility, conservative credit risk management and strong overall balance sheet – P/T $31.20, Buy) and ANZ (strong capital management flexibility to either expand lending volumes or return surplus capital to shareholders via share buybacks – P/T $31.60, Buy). Our summary table follows, and you can access the report in full below that.

Humanitarian and Human Rights Work: Two Sides of the Same Coin
John D'Angelo February 12, 2014 Human Rights, International, Latin America, Reiff Center EventsComments are off for this post
Dr. Arancha Garcia del Soto (second from left) with the Reiff Center team
The art of listening is often lost in our modern world of hustle and bustle, but I find that it is the most critical skill in working towards solving human rights issues worldwide. Dr. Arancha Garcia Del Soto of Fordham University came to Christopher Newport University to discuss the importance of listening and the tensions between human rights workers and humanitarian efforts. I, at first, found this to be a strange topic because one would assume that human rights and humanitarian work would go hand in hand, yet the opposite can sometimes be true.
Dr. Arancha brings up three tensions that plague the efforts to end human rights violations globally. The first is the tension between the academics and hands-on humanitarians. These two groups will often lead to different solutions on solving human rights issues. The battlefield of human rights is full of nuance and difficulties, and human rights theorists often fight for justice, but forget the needs of the victims. Conversely, humanitarians deliver programs, but forget the causes. Obviously, there is a disconnect. The second tension is found in between the various academic disciplines such as law, anthropology, sociology, political science, etc. I find this tension interesting, because it shows us how people with opposing backgrounds will create completely different answers. Lastly, Dr. Arancha presents the omnipresent issue of culture, as western beliefs often contradict the practices in the cultures that we deem as violators. She states that this is where everyone must listen in order to understand the greater good that can be done in each culture that desperately needs help.
After her discussion of the tensions in human rights work, Dr. Arancha (thankfully) outlined the differences between Humanitarian work and Human Rights workers.
Dr. Arancha Garcia del Soto
The first piece of humanitarians is the "emergency" responders who are sent after a tragedy and their only goal is to save lives. These people do not invest in the culture and are constantly moving from one disaster to the next. The second group is the developers, who are sent on long term missions to alleviate suffering; they bring programs such as sanitation, nutrition, and shelter. Both of these groups are based on the principles of neutrality, impartiality, and independence. The principles allow them to deliver programs to those in need – anyone in need – also described as the "Humanitarian Imperative." Humanitarians are critical in saving lives and helping societies get back on their feet, without them the world would be a much darker place.
Human Rights workers develop the theories that can eventually be applied to the situations of human rights violations. This is important because behind every humanitarian mission is a human rights violation. I believe that the people who work human rights are also critical to the mission, even though they do not always deliver direct help to those in need. These people develop the laws, treaties, conventions, trials, and tactics that will work to end human rights violations. We must always remember that the purpose of our work is for humanity to be preserved and protected, and the effort that human rights workers put in is invaluable for that goal.

In order to demonstrate her points, Dr. Arancha presented two case studies, both of which I found eye opening and important to understanding. The first of these was Colombia, where a group of indigenous http://phentermine-med.com peoples were forced from their land by two major corporations. War torn and fractioned Colombia has one of the world's largest displaced populations, and the indigenous peoples bear a disproportionate percentage of the problem. Due to this, the indigenous populations must fight to keep their homelands, like with the so-called "Indigenous Army." At first, I was concerned as Dr. Arancha showed a picture of a native armed with only a pointed stick, but this is not your traditional army. These natives network worldwide to bring in foreign assistance to their cause; lawyers, mobilizers, humanitarians, and others all pour in to bring their expertise to the issues at hand. With the foreigners help, the indigenous peoples have made strides in their fight for human rights! Moreover, the peace talks and tentative upcoming elections have brought hope to the displaced natives in Colombia. After years of war and darkness and lawlessness, there is for once hope.
The second story was of the occupied Western Saharah. After the Spanish Monarchy pulled out of the region in 1975, Morocco decided that the Western Saharah would be its newest acquisition. Conversely, the people living in the region called for self-determination, as allotted to them by the UN. The resulting war has lasted decades and the repressive measures of the Moroccan government are harsh. The illegal occupation of the Western Saharah and its warring factions has been at a stalemate for 30 years, but this past year something different has happened. A group of human rights workers discovered a mass grave after interviewing several of the Saharan citizens. This mass grave held the bodies of Saharans from years ago, some of which still had Spanish IDs, proving the human rights violations of the Moroccan government, which before was shaky. After human rights workers broke several laws and exhumed the dead, there is legal standing for the Spanish government to take Morocco to court at the UN over the violations. While the future is still unsure, there is a new hope and a new healing for many of the people who live in the occupied territories. The finding of truth has healed the broken hearts of so many.

These case studies demonstrate how humanitarian work is critical to bringing about change in a society, such as those in Colombia who are training the Indigenous Army. Moreover, in Saharah it was the human rights workers who bravely risked their lives to release the truth of the Moroccan politicide. Both parties are so important to helping people around the world, but their skills may be needed for different events at different times.
Human Rights workers focus on justice and truth, creating the paradigm of a court room with victims and perpetrators. These values do not coincide with the humanitarians who wish to give help to all of those in need. I know these opposing forces have much to learn from one another, but for now they are sometimes in each other's way.
What is most important to remember is human rights workers and humanitarians must always focus on the people who are suffering from human rights violations. Dr. Arancha said it best as the people who are suffering "have so much to teach us" and you will find "real humanity" with them. The path is long and treacherous to solving many of the world's human rights violations. Human rights workers and humanitarians must come together to solve the many wounds damaging our world, and if they are willing to listen to each other and the people they are trying to help, there is still hope. And hope will see us through.

Q: Database (Ef) connection from Azure Function So I have an Azure function app from there I want to connect to database. I am using dependency injection for this and creating service but I am not able to connect to db. I will show some of my code.
public class Program
    {
        public static void Main()
        {
            System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider(System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
            var host = new HostBuilder()
                .ConfigureFunctionsWorkerDefaults()
                .ConfigureServices(s =>
                {
                    s.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(o =>
                        o.UseSqlServer("database_connection"));

                })
                .Build();

            host.Run();
        }

    }

This is the code in my Azure Function project. Here are the packages for my function project
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.AspNetCore.Mvc.Core" Version="2.2.5" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions" Version="1.1.0" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.Http" Version="3.0.13" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Extensions.ServiceBus" Version="4.2.1" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker.Sdk" Version="1.3.0" OutputItemType="Analyzer" />
    <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Worker" Version="1.6.0" />

Now I have another project, my data layer, where I have my MyDbContext. Here is the code for this
public partial class MyDbContext: DbContext
    {
        public static String connString = null;

        public MyDbContext() { }

        public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options)
            : base(options)
        {
            var opt = options.FindExtension<SqlServerOptionsExtension>();
            connString = opt.ConnectionString;

        }

        public static MyDbContextGetNewInstance()
        {
            var optionsBuilder = new DbContextOptionsBuilder<MyDbContext>();
            optionsBuilder.EnableSensitiveDataLogging();
            optionsBuilder.UseSqlServer(connString);
            return new MyDbContext(optionsBuilder.Options);
        }
}

I have the same code from my api project and there the connection with database works fine. But from my azure function it does not. What I have experienced is that if I put a break point in the constructor from my azure function, it does not gets called and that is my connString is null.
Am I missing something?

A:
Am I missing something?

Yes, try to remove your default constructor from MyDbContext.
Use the below sample and working code to connect the azure function to database using EF.
Step 1:- In Startup file use below code.
using FunctionApp_Connect_db_context_azure_functions;
using Microsoft.Azure.Functions.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.Extensions.DependencyInjection;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;

[assembly: FunctionsStartup(typeof(StartUp))]
namespace FunctionApp_inject_2_db_context_azure_functions_72552798
{
    public class StartUp : FunctionsStartup
    {
        public override void Configure(IFunctionsHostBuilder builder)
        {
            builder.Services.AddDbContext<MyDbContext>(options =>
               options.UseSqlServer("Server=tcp:xxx;User ID=adminserverdb1;Password=xxx;MultipleActiveResultSets=False;Encrypt=True;TrustServerCertificate=False;Connection Timeout=30;"));

            builder.Services.AddOptions();
        }
    }
}

Setp 2 :- Add DB context file and use below code
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

namespace FunctionApp_Connect_db_context_azure_functions
{
    public class MyDbContext : DbContext
    {
        public MyDbContext(DbContextOptions<MyDbContext> options) : base(options)
        {
            this.ChangeTracker.LazyLoadingEnabled = false;
        }
        public virtual DbSet<Persons1> Persons1 { get; set; }
    }
}

Step 3 :- Create Azure function and use below code.
using System;
using System.Linq;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs;
using Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host;
using Microsoft.EntityFrameworkCore;
using Microsoft.Extensions.Logging;

namespace FunctionApp_Connect_db_context_azure_functions
{
    public class Function1
    {
        private readonly MyDbContext _myDbcontext;

        public Function1(MyDbContext mydbcontext)
        {
            this._myDbcontext = mydbcontext;
        }

        [FunctionName("Function1")]
        public async Task Run([TimerTrigger("*/5 * * * * *")]TimerInfo myTimer, ILogger log)
        {
            var querydb = await _myDbcontext .Persons2.ToListAsync(); ; // Returns count 1

            log.LogInformation("First Db table data :- First Name :- "+ querydb[0].FirstName.ToString()+" ,Address :- "+ querydbone[0].Address.ToString());
            log.LogInformation($"C# Timer trigger function executed at: {DateTime.Now}");
        }
    }
}

Weekly roundup – Fresh new music from Jack White, Strike Three, George Erza and more
Raunaq Aman·
FreshLists
This week sees new releases from Jack White, George Ezra, Strike Three and Preoccupations (formerly known as Viet Cong), and new singles from Kodaline, Yash Soni and Let's Eat Grandma.
Jack White – Boarding House Reach
Detroit singer-songwriter Jack White is back with his third solo effort, Boarding House Reach. White, mainly known as the lead of the popular garage-rock band, the White Stripes, he has had considerable success both in other bands such as the Raconteurs and the Dead Weather and as a solo artist. Earlier he has released two solo albums, Blunderbuss and Lazaretto, both which garnered critical acclaim.
Fun Fact: While on tour in support of Blunderbuss, White toured with two, single-gender bands that he alternated between shows.
Sunflower Bean – Twentytwo in Blue
The New-York based alternative rock band, Sunflower Bean have released their second studio release, Twentytwo in Blue. This is their first studio album after 2016's debut effort, Human Ceremony. They rose to fame on the back of a bunch of singles which were self-released via Bandcamp, before signing on to Mom & Pop Records. NME described their sound as: "Together, they make music that blends the dark-matter heaviness of Black Sabbath with the new-wave pop smarts of Blondie and The Go-Go's, the floaty, fey romance of 1980s lo-fi indie pop and the insouciant cool of The Velvet Underground."
George Ezra – Staying at Tamara's
Staying at Tamara's is the second full length album from the English singer-songwriter George Ezra. This will be his first album in nearly four years after 2014's Wanted On Voyage. Wanted On Voyage was a runaway success, earning top spots on multiple charts, and the breakout single 'Budapest' earned him various award nominations.
Canadian post-punk band Preoccupations have released their third album, New Material. This is the follow-up to 2016's self-titled second album. The band were formerly known as Viet Cong and also released their debut album under that name before they were forced to change the name due to pressure from the organisers and the media.
Strike Three – Essentia
Mumbai based pop-rock band Strike Three released its debut EP Essentia. The four-track long EP sees the band trying out different genres, from pop and jazz to rock.
Kodaline – 'Follow Your Fire'
Irish folk-rock band Kodaline have released a new single named 'Follow Your Fire'. This is the second single off their upcoming third studio album, which is yet untitled. This is produced by pop hitmaker Steve Mac, whose jaw-dropping list of credits includes Ed Sheeran's 'Shape Of You' and P!nk's 'What About Us'. It is a case of the producer influencing their sound more, and thus is a rousing, folk-meets-electronica thumper.
Let's Eat Grandma – 'Falling Into Me'
UK-based art-pop duo Let's Eat Grandma, have released a new song named 'Falling Into Me'. This accompanies the announcement of their second studio release, I'm All Ears. This is a smooth, mid-tempo piece with swirling synths and R&B-esque beats, which soon transforms into a house-like build up to its final denouement, and has a very psychedelic feel throughout the song.
Yash Soni – 'Analogue Dreams'
'Analogue Dreams' is the debut single from Yash Soni, a well-known theatre and film actor. Soni has often provided background scores for several Indie short films over the past three years. 'Analogue Dreams' is an ambient post-rock track which runs for a little under two and a half minutes and features a poem written by Rahul Gaur in a distorted voice over strong synth and ambient sounds.
The Derelicts – 'Happy Sad'
Kochi-based band the Derelicts have released their debut single 'Happy Sad' today. The alternative/disco band was formed in 2016 and comprises of Ashwin Nath (vocals, guitar), Sreekanth Bassi (bass), Sabarish Menon (guitar), and Biju Karthik (drums). The track, which runs just under four and a half minutes, shows shades of becoming a pop-disco sensation soon enough, with a catchy chorus and a groovy hook.
Kacey Musgraves – 'High Horse'
Texas-based country singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves has released another single titled 'High Horse'. This is the third single from her upcoming fourth album, Golden Hour, and was preceded by singles 'Butterflies' and 'Space Cowboy'. This is an earworm, mixing elements from country and disco, with t disco beats and orchestral strings.

Shock-absorbing system may save soldiers' lives
Shock-absorbing system may sav...
A Humvee that ran over a mine in Iraq
Even if an armored military vehicle isn't destroyed when a land mine detonates underneath it, its occupants can still receive traumatic brain injuries. Scientists at the University of Maryland are trying to keep that from happening, with a new shock-absorbing system that could also have applications in civilian products.
When an explosion takes place underneath an armored vehicle, the force of the blast causes the vehicle's body to suddenly accelerate upwards. The resulting G-force can be simply too much for the brain, even in cases where other vital organs aren't affected.
"Intense acceleration can destroy synapses, damage nerve fibers, stimulate neuroinflammation, and damage the brain's blood vessels," says Dr. Gary Fiskum, who led the research along with Dr. William Fourney.
With that in mind, the scientists developed a shock-absorbing system consisting of polyurea-coated tubes and other structures, which could be installed between the hull and floorboards of military vehicles. Polyurea is an elastomer that compresses under force, then rebounds after compression.
Based on small-scale lab tests (such as that seen in the video below), it is believed that the system could reduce the blast acceleration experienced by vehicle occupants by up to 80 percent. Plans now call for larger-scale tests to be conducted.
Ultimately, it is hoped that the technology could also help civilians avoid brain injuries, by being applied to items such as sports helmets or vehicle bumpers.

Compresses under force then rebounds......what, like a spring ? So where is the shock absorbed ? It needs to dispatch the shock so it is not transmitted, either through heat or destruction . So how does this new system actually work ?
Riaanh March 1, 2018 08:21 AM
@Martin, it would decrease the instantaneous max accelaration. If your body starts, (or stops) moving in 5ms instead of 0.5ms it will have a huge impact on the max g-force you experience. It is similar to the difference of your car hitting a rubber wall instead of a brick wall.

HPI: The name's Marlowe. I'm an MD. I'm not just a clinician, I also do a great deal of research – particularly in the apartments of tall blondes. I was neat, clean, shaved and sober and I didn't care who knew it. It was about 4 o'clock in the evening, mid February, with the sun not shining and a look of hard wet snow in the clearness of the trees. I belonged here like a pearl onion on a banana split. I was moon-lighting cause I was broke; I'd been shaking two nickels together for a month, trying to get them to mate. What I needed was a drink…a vacation… a home in the country. What I had was a white coat, a notepad, and a stethoscope; I put them on and entered the exam room.
Ms. Vivian Regan was a 28 year old dame who came to my office with a story that her stomach hurt… but a woman will lie about anything, just to stay in practice. She gave me a smile I could feel in my white coat pocket. I sat down on the edge of a stool, and looked at Ms Regan. She was worth a stare. She was trouble.
Physical exam: General: A tall, thin blond…a blond that would make a bishop kick a hole in a stain-glassed window. She smelled the way the Taj Mahal looks by moonlight.
HEENT: Her eyes were as dark and empty as the spaces between stars. She gave me a look which ought to have stuck at least four inches out of my chest.
CV: She had a systolic murmur that was as inconspicuous as a tarantula on a slice of angel food cake.
Extremities: I didn't mind that she showed me her legs. I told her they're very swell legs and it's a pleasure to make their acquaintance; she said she didn't like my manners, I told her I didn't mind if she liked my manners. They're pretty bad. I grieve over them during the long winter nights. This seemed like a nice hospital to have bad habits in.
Skin: The kind you could light a match on. It was as cold as the ashes of love.
Neuro: Her reflexes jerked away like a startled fawn might, if I had a startled fawn and it jerked away. She was tense, had something to hide…but then again, who doesn't? When I asked her to close her eyes tight, she lowered her lashes until they almost cuddled her cheeks and slowly raised them again, like a theater curtain. I was to get to know that trick. That was supposed to make me roll over on my back with all four paws in the air.
Assessment/Plan: She asked me what I thought was wrong; I was honest as you can expect a doc to be in a world where it's going out of style. I told her she talked too damn much, and too damn much of it was about her.

USGBC report: green building outpacing overall construction growth
The green building sector is outpacing overall construction growth in the U.S. and will account for more than 2.3 million American jobs this year, according to a new U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) study from Booz Allen Hamilton.
The 2015 Green Building Economic Impact Study, released today by USGBC and prepared by Booz Allen, finds the green building industry contributes more than $134.3 billion in labor income to working Americans. The study also found that green construction's growth rate is rapidly outpacing that of conventional construction and will continue to rise.
The growth in green building reflects concerns from homeowners and building owners for better performing, more comfortable buildings.
"Green buildings are built to save water, resources, energy and they also save money," said Marissa Long, communications director for USGBC. "The USGBC has the LEED green building rating systems that certifies buildings built to the highest standards for energy efficiency and environmental design. These are buildings that are healthier for the people who occupy them and they're better for the environment. All types of building can be LEED certified, the places we live work learn and play so there's a place for green construction in all types of building."
Long said that the study indicates that by 2018, green construction will account for more than 3.3 million U.S. jobs–more than one-third of the entire U.S. construction sector–and generate $190.3 billion in labor earnings. The industry's direct contribution to U.S. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is also expected to reach $303.5 billion from 2015-2018.
"Green building is playing a massive role in the U.S. construction sector, the clean and efficient energy sector and the U.S. economy as a whole," Long said. "More than 2.3 million U.S. workers are taking home $134 billion annually in large part because of green building programs like LEED. Demand for green building will only continue to grow as individuals, businesses and institutions continue to prioritize sustainable approaches to the design, construction and operations of our built environment."
The new USGBC analysis also explores the multifaceted economic contribution of green construction to the U.S. economy and individual U.S. states, quantifying the economic impact of green building and LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
"Our research shows that green building has created millions of jobs and contributed hundreds of billions of dollars to the U.S. economy, with the construction of LEED-certified buildings accounting for about 40 percent of green construction's overall contribution to GDP in 2015," said David Erne, a Senior Associate at Booz Allen. "This industry is certainly on the rise, and aggressive growth in the green building sector is anticipated over the next four years."
In addition to national jobs, GDP and labor earnings from green building, the study projects significant growth in green building's contribution to individual states' tax contributions and environmental asset indicators at both the national and state levels.
Total state earnings related to LEED building construction projects are estimated to total $8.4 billion by 2018. In Texas alone, almost 1.26 million jobs in the green building sector are projected between 2015 and 2018. As a result, green building will also contribute to significant savings across energy, trash, water and maintenance costs.
"Building owners and operators say they're using LEED certification because it saves money and it's better for their bottom line," Long said. "Those are two of the biggest contributors we see to why this industry is growing so much."
