"Shall we?" Rainbow Dash made her was through the dim stone corridor. Every corner was lined with dust and cobwebs. With each step they kicked up a small cloud of debris. "Being here bring back all kinds of memories..." She turned a corner and opened a large rusted door, holding it and motioning Pinkie Pie to go inside. She let the door shut behind them and creaked as it did.
The pink earth pony trailed close behind Rainbow Dash as they began to descend down a long fight of stairs. The end couldn't be seen by the light of their torch. Every step upon the stone floor resounding in the air and seeming to carry endlessly.
"Watch your step." Rainbow Dash warned after hearing Pinkie's hooves skid a little.
Once again her memories drifted off.
Rainbow Dash smiled "So thats what has been weighing you down all these years? No wonder you lost to me so many times!" she joked, attempting to lighten the mood.
"Same old Dash." she turned and rolled her eyes.
Starting to laugh a little the pegasus replied "Don't worry G. When I take that locket from you it'll be because I left you a mile behind in a race! Until then I'm not letting you out of my sight!
Gilda turned smiling. "Ha! Good luck with that!!" She rustled Rainbow Dash's mane with her claw.
"Come on G, you know I hate that!" she shouted still laughing and shooing her oppressor away.
"It's alright. I've come to terms with it a long time ago." the blue pony sighed. "She was the only one that ever could keep up with me." she said with a smile.
"Alright this is the big one! This totally decides who's the best flier in the world!!" Rainbow Dash shouted to Gilda through her hooves.
"Get ready to eat my dust!" she cried back with a determined look.
Their course was set. They'd been planning it for years, each time Gilda got the chance to visit. Painstaking research and travel to each location. The blueprints where massive. It was truly a test of endurance, one that even Rainbow Dash doubted was possible for her or her friend. And that worried her.
"3, 2, 1, GO!!" Dash yelled. Both jetting off at speeds that blew part of Rainbow Dash's house in slightly.
The two soared over Ponyville completely and dove straight into the Everfree Forest. When they were younger they would do this on dares. Now it became the just a simple part of their race. They swerved and zig-zagged through trees, occasionally one passing the other and every so often passing through a cluster of nymphs, knocking them clear out of the air. The hazards of the forest had become mere child's play. Soon they cleared the forest entirely and entered a straight field of barley as far as the eyes could see. Rainbow Dash swooped low grabbing some and tossing it in front of the griffin.
"Oh really Dash?" Gilda teased, unsurprised for the dozen or so times she'd done it before. She dove down grabbing a talon full and returned fire. The midair grain fight forced both into a fit of sneezing. Gilda took this chance to pull ahead a little just in time for the next leg of the race.
The air stared to chill and snow became visible in the horizon. The griffin bolted upward as they approached a towering mountain. This was an area Rainbow Dash still hadn't gotten used to. The chilly air freezing her hooves and making her breath becoming visible with ever huff. This didn't slow her down however, if anything it drove her harder to push herself. She followed Gilda up to the summit of the mountain as she grazed it with her talon who looked back at Dash just as she did the same to the checkpoint.
Rainbow Dash looked down from where she was, hurtling to the earth. It was awe-inspiring. The frozen landscape just miles away from a perfectly temperate acreage. "Ah, there's really nothing like flying!" she mentioned to Gilda.
Rainbow Dash laughed and shook a hoof at her faining anger. Then began a complete vertical nosedive only to swoop back up. This gave her a slight boost in front of her feathered friend.
"I learned from the best...ME!" She called back, Gilda rolling her eyes.
This went on for hours, neither one stopping for even a slight breather. They had explored distant lands, spiraled through ravines, bolted past forests and shot through expansive deserts. They truly had designed the perfect obstacle course. Rainbow Dash could tell Gilda was a tired as she was.
"Hey! Wanna call it a draw again?" trying to announce a trues.
Rainbow Dash laughed to herself. "Yeah, whatever. Be back by sunrise! I'll be waiting for you on our hill!" hearing that Gilda spiraled through the night sky and pierced the clouds, rising higher and higher. The pegasus watched until she was out of site and flew to their usual cliff overlooking the ocean.
The sun sky turned from dark blue to bright orange as the sun began to rise. Rainbow Dash waited. She looked around with no sign of Gilda and still she waited. She paced back and forth until finally the day had turned to night again. Her mind wandered to the impossible and she took off in search of Gilda.
They made their way through a small room with a large stone monument. Rainbow Dash opened her satchel and placed four candles in front of it and lit them. The room grew only slightly brighter as the flames flickered. Rainbow Dash sat on the stone ground in front of the vault. Pinkie Pie joined her, both closed their eyes as tears fell from the pegasus's face.
"Only if your ready." Pinkie Pie looked up solemnly.

Melvin Parker, Legendary Drummer for James Brown, Dies at 77
by Maggie Schneider December 8, 2021
written by Maggie Schneider December 8, 2021
Drumming legend Melvin Parker passes away at 77 years old. He was an important member of James Brown's band.
Melvin Parker, the iconic drummer for James Brown's band, passed away on December 3rd, 2021. According to his obituary, the 77-year old died peacefully in Baltimore, Maryland. The statement is written on the website of R. Swinson Funeral Services, which is located in Kinston, North Carolina – the town where Parker grew up.
"The Parker family is in the process of making arrangements for a final goodbye" the obituary states. "Let's keep the Parker family in our thoughts and prayers during this time of bereavement."

Melvin Parker's is responsible for much of the unique funk qualities of James Brown's music. His drumming is heard on some of Brown's biggest hits. "Out of Sight," "Papa's Got a Brand New Bag," and "I Got You (I Feel Good)" are all tunes that featured Parker. He played with the band through 1964 and 1965, until he was drafted into the military. In 1969, Parker rejoined the group for a year, playing drums on Brown's album "Sex Machine."
After the release of their 1969 record, band drama caused Parker to leave the group. This is when he joined his brother's project, Maceo & All the King's Men. It turns out that Maceo Brown played saxophone in James Brown's band as well.
Although Parker joins his brother's band, this is not the end of his work with James Brown. They team up on the 1976 hit "Get Up Offa That Thing." In 2004, the singer himself praised his talent.
"And if I was getting ready to cut a record that was right, I would go get Melvin today, because he's just like a metronome."
Remembering Melvin Parker
Fans and friends alike remember Melvin Parker for his musicianship, as well as his character. Funk musician Bootsy Collins shares a sweet tribute to his friend on Twitter.
We lost one of the greatest Drummer that ever played with James Brown. Mr. Melvin Parker, brother to Maceo Parker.

Urgent Warning!: Time Is Running Out For Artists & Writers To Exercise Their Termination Rights Under U.S. Copyright Law To Convert Case
Tweet wallace collins | Print Article | Comments Off
The 1976 Copyright Act provides for the termination of copyright transfers – but authors need to act within a limited timeframe. Creators are entitled to reclaim their copyrights regardless of any contract stating otherwise after certain time periods. Therefore, even if an author, artist, musician, photographer or songwriter signed a contract which purports to transfer all rights in a work for perpetuity, the Copyright Act provides that the author of the work can terminate that grant and demand that the rights revert. Authors and creators are now entitled to terminate their contractual transfers and demand back control of their copyrights; authors can terminate their book publishing contracts, songwriters can demand return of their musical compositions from music publishers and recording artists and record producers can demand return of their sound recordings from the record companies.

Prince Ahead Of His Time On Many Things Including His Business Dealings And Copyright Terminations
Tweet wallace collins | Print Article | Post a Comment
Just a few years ago the headlines in the music business trades were touting the story that Prince had returned to Warner Brothers Records after 18 years with a revolutionary new deal that would see him regain ownership of his back catalog of recordings. As with all things Prince, it was cutting edge. This Prince/Warner Brothers deal marked a new era as the ability to terminate master recording copyright after 35 years was granted in the Copyright Revision Act of 1976 and became effective in 1978, the year that Prince's debut album came out.
It seems that just as the record business has been staggering back to its feet after the digital assault started by Napster over a decade ago, another hard blow to the record industry business model is starting to have ripple effects. Recording artists and songwriters from 1978 and after are now entitled to start terminating their contractual transfers and demanding back their copyrights. The 1976 Copyright Act, in a provision that has generally been overlooked until now, provides for the termination of copyright transfers. Even if an artist or songwriter signed a contract with a record company or music publisher that purports to transfer all rights in a work in perpetuity, the Copyright Act provides that the author can terminate that grant and demand that the rights revert to the author in a shorter period of time. This is a great opportunity for artists and songwriters to get a second bite at the apple, so to speak, and get a better share of the income earned from their creative works.
Prince was on top of his game. Generally speaking, for copyright grants made on or after January 1, 1978 (the effective date of the 1976 Copyright Act) the termination period is 35 years under Section 203 of the Copyright Act. For pre-1978 works the termination period is 56 years after copyright was originally secured under Section 304. For grants on or after 1978, termination may be exercised anytime during a 5 year period beginning at the end of 35 years from the execution of the grant or, if the grant concerns the right of publication of the work, then the period begins on the sooner of 35 years after publication or 40 years after execution of the grant. Although there are certain formalities which must be complied with to effectuate transfer, this essentially means that recording artists and songwriters can start exercising their right of termination as soon as 2013 – which may effectively decimate many record company and music publishing catalogs.
Back when the 1976 Copyright Act was drafted few could envision a world where the artists might not need the record companies to finance, manufacture, promote, store and distribute their records. Back then the expectation was that, although any particular artist could exercise the termination right, what would effectively happen is that the label and artist would simply be forced to renegotiate a deal to continue working together. Now in the digital age, however, this is no longer true. Any artist can demand back their masters and then simply offer them on their own website or license the rights to an online aggregator with little or no expense. This is particularly true in the case of catalog recordings since the artist would not even need the record company to finance the recording costs. The more digital the music business becomes the more obsolete the large record labels become for established artists. High profile artists with already established fan bases and large catalogs such as Prince, Blondie, the Cars, Bruce Springsteen and others probably have no need for much in the way of advertising and marketing of their recordings, and certainly no need for manufacturing, distributing or warehousing of the product. Simple ownership and possession of the digitized masters would be sufficient.
There is one scenario that does bode well for record companies in that it may steer even established artists to follow the renegotiation route as Prince has done. Those familiar with record contracts know that, unlike song publishing contracts which generally provide for the assignment and transfer of a song copyright to the publisher, most record contracts provide that the sound recording is created as a "work for hire" for the record label. Under the 1976 Copyright Act the termination provision is not applicable to a genuine work for hire grant. However, this does not preclude recording artists from exercising their right of termination. Just a few years ago I litigated a case where the Court held that a sound recording does not qualify as a work for hire. Without getting into all the applicable legal employer/employee issues involved, there is a great deal of case law which addresses the subject of "work for hire" and holds that whether a work created by an employee is a work for hire or not depends on various factors other than just the language of the contract. This area of law is ripe for litigation by recording artists who want to exercise their termination rights where the facts suggest that no genuine work for hire relationship ever existed. Although the landmark case has yet to be fought, from what I have seen it appears that in most cases the artist would prevail over the record company on this point. However, artist like Prince as well as label executives have also realized that the wiser course may be to negotiate the reversions and retain control of issuing artists' catalog eligible for copyright terminations.
The termination rights of an artist or songwriter are generally subject to a 5 year window. Termination must be made effective within the termination window or the right to terminate the grant is forfeited. To be effective, the artist or songwriter must serve a written notice of termination on the original record company or publisher (or its successor) no more than 10 and no less than 2 years prior to the effective date stated in the notice. The notice of termination must state the effective date of termination. Perfection of the termination requires that a copy of the written notice also be filed with the U.S. Copyright Office prior to the effective date of termination
Although the termination rights of an artist under the 1976 Copyright Act would only be effective for the U.S. territory, the size of the U.S. consumer market for recorded music still makes this a valuable right to reclaim. However, what is good for the artist might further erode the influence of the major record labels and prove detrimental to the industry in the future, so labels would be well advised to start planning for the onslaught and try to forge deals like Prince has done with Warner Brothers.

Bidding On Music: 3 Things You Need To Know About Copyright Law
Tweet Rachelle Wilber | Print Article | Post a Comment
Both artists and consumers alike have to worry about copyright laws. If you're the creator of a song or score, you want to ensure that your work is legally protected when you place it online for the world to listen to. If you're a consumer who wants to use the music in a project, such as a movie, short film or even a simple vlog on YouTube, copyright laws can make or break you. If you aren't sure about the ownership status of a song or composition and use it in something that you later publish without permission, even by citing the original creator, you can find yourself facing serious legal consequences.

Why Copyright is Still Evil
Tweet Ben Sommer | Print Article | 1 Comment
I published an article last year on copyright and its evils. Both the title and tone were deliberately provocative for a reason – I argued against copyright from moral not utilitarian grounds. That is, I attacked head-on the fundamental injustice of copyright laws, rather than quibble about how they can be tamed and made "fairer", as most pro-freedom advocates do.
The article was picked up by many websites. Many objections – some sensible, some just angry – came in from readers. I address some of these objections below.

How To Trademark and Copyright Your Music
Tweet Carl Jones | Print Article | Post a Comment
A new artist thinks up a cool name for himself. The 1st thing he should search for is to make sure no other company/artist is using that name already & how he can legally be the only person to gain a profit from that name. It's called a trademark. Anyone can get a trademark. Just go to US Patents & Trademarks Office online, uspto.gov. If no one has the name you want trademarked then you can apply there. The fee is about $325.

Entertainment Attorney Dina LaPolt Educates Artists and Professionals On How to Navigate Business and Legal Aspects of Music Industry
Tweet Robert Hensley | Print Article | Post a Comment
Dina LaPolt, renowned Los Angeles-based attorney, who is The National Association of Record Industry Professionals' 2011 Top Music Business Attorney, is once again bringing her expertise and experience to UCLA Extension with her popular "Legal and Practical Aspects of the Music Business" class for its tenth consecutive winter term. LaPolt's ability to break down into simple terms the complex legal concepts surrounding the various ways in which rights are exploited and monetized makes this course an essential for all artists, songwriters, managers, lawyers, accountants, executives, producers, publishers and other entertainment industry professionals.
Some of the most important issues covered by the course involve the growth of ancillary revenue streams for artists that are not even related to music but which have become important brand-building tools for music artists, such as sponsorships/endorsements, opportunities in television, book publishing, and creative forms of merchandising. Licensing music for film, television and video games still create significant opportunities but licensing these rights have become very complicated due to the corporate mergers of the record and publishing companies. To most, these subjects can be overwhelming but one of the main assets those taking this class will walk away with is a firm grasp of how to navigate one's way through these minefields in order to have a complete understanding of today's music business. LaPolt, her firm's associates, and a stable of specific guest lecturers will also discuss other areas as well such as issues that arise in the recording studio, recording and publishing agreements, as well as fans, brands, social networks, and cultural communities as they affect music, copyrights, and merchandising in a global music market.

CelluScience™ Review – Does CelluScience™ work?
The manufacturer states that CelluScience™ is intended to reduce the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, hips and buttocks. CelluScience™ comes in capsule form, so targeting one specific part of the body is not possible. CelluScience™may be expensive for some customers because it is sold at a value of $390 for a 3-month supply. The manufacturer states that CelluScience™ is available in a 1-month supply, but suggests that taking the capsules should be repeated twice a year with a maintenance program of 3 months in between. Maintenance regimen should be taken once a day, for 90 days in between the Beauté Intensive regimens.
The manufacturer of CelluScience™ publishes two product serving sections on the product website, which may be confusing for some individuals. The manufacturer states that CelluScience™ is available in a 45-capsule serving size, but 2 servings are needed for a monthly treatment or 3 capsules taken by mouth daily. The manufacturer of CelluScience™ does not state that caffeine is found in the product's formulation. Caffeine has been clinically-proven effective to reduce the appearance of cellulite. To see how CelluScience™ capsules compare to cellulite creams, please view the grid below.
CelluScience™ Warning: Consult a health care practitioner before taking this or any other dietary supplement. If you are pregnant or lactating, do not take this product unless otherwise directed by your physician. Do not take if you are being treated for hyperthyroidism, take a prescription MAO-inhibitor, or are allergic to marine or any other ingredients in this formula.
CelluScience™ Results: According to the manufacturer, results can be seen in 30 days.
Take one gel-cap three times a day (two in the morning, one in the evening) preferably on an empty stomach. Beauté Intensive regimen should be repeated twice a year with a maintenance program of 3 months in between. Maintenance regimen: Take one capsule daily for 90 days in between Beauté Intensive regimens.
CelluScience™ is intended to reduce the appearance of cellulite by firming and tightening the skin. CelluScience™ is available online, but may be expensive for some customers if the 3-month supply is purchased. According to the manufacturer, CelluScience™ may help reduce the appearance of cellulite on the thighs, hips and buttocks, but it comes in capsule form. CelluScience™ should be used as directed in order to offer results.


In today's global economy, 94% of consumers think that businesses should give back. Buyers are more likely to reward and feel connected to brands that give back to their communities through charitable donations and socially-conscious initiatives.
Aside from answering to consumer demand, why else should brands support economic and social causes, and why should you buy from them?
We've listed our top 5 favorite reasons below!
By investing resources in brands that give back, the consumer is able to combine generosity with convenience and support brands they not only feel most connected to, but the ones that also support causes they most identify with. How can you express who you are by using your spending power to support causes that matter most to you?
Brands like Two Penny Blue, TOMS and Warby Parker employ the One-for-One model, providing those in need with resources and accessibility to everyday items for every one item that you purchase.
For instance, for every jacket purchased at Two Penny Blue, a school uniform is donated to a girl in need in Africa – opening the door to her education, increasing her self-esteem and providing the opportunity for a brighter future. Without such help, millions of girls are often denied the opportunity to attend school simply because they can't afford a uniform. By empowering those in need and enabling them with the resources necessary to live their best lives, the whole world changes.
"Luxury is being empowered to make a responsible decision."
Brands like The Giving Keys employ those affected by homelessness, creating jobs in the U.S. and providing management and leadership opportunities in a safe and collaborative environment. By buying from brands that meaningfully hire, you support businesses that are restructuring the employment model and paving ways for those in tough places to bounce back.
Businesses have a range of resources at their disposal. Whether it's economic development, environmental issues, human rights, poverty and hunger, or education and health, brands can positively impact global issues by incorporating a philanthropic approach into their core business structure to help drive real, impactful change.
More than 80% of millenials expect companies to make a public commitment to good corporate citizenship, according to Horizon Media's Finger on the Pulse study. We see it all around us – a shift towards green, eco-friendly, organic, sustainable, and charitable. It is increasingly becoming 'cool' to do good, to be aware, and to give back.
Join us at the Two Penny Blue Flagship & Design Studio on Saturday, July 9th!
From 11a-5p, we'll be offering Le Coeur customers a free secondary watch strap of your choosing (a $55 retail value) with each purchase. Mimosas and treats will be provided in the 2PB courtyard at 3728 North Southport in Chicago. Learn more about out pop-up here. Can't wait to see you!

Where #elem is the name of the element that you want to append the data, returned from the PHP file, to.

'I'll never concede': Trump speech incites mob at Capitol
Trump continued to ratchet up pressure on Vice President Mike Pence, who is tasked with presiding over the final certification by Congress.
Trump supporters gather outside the Capitol, Wednesday, Jan. 6, 2021, in Washington. As Congress prepares to affirm President-elect Joe Biden's victory, thousands of people have gathered to show their support for President Donald Trump and his claims of election fraud. [ JOSE LUIS MAGANA | AP ]
Published Jan. 6, 2021|Updated Jan. 7, 2021
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump vowed to "never concede" at a gathering of his supporters in Washington, leading an extraordinary protest of the final ratification by Congress of Joe Biden's Electoral College victory, claiming that the peaceful transfer of power in 13 days amounts to "the country being destroyed."
"All of us here today do not want to see our election victory stolen by emboldened radical Democrats," Trump told a crowd of supporters on the Ellipse just south of the White House. "We will never give up. We will never concede. It will never happen. You don't concede when there's death involved. Our country has had enough. We will not take it anymore."
Related: Live updates: Biden denounces protesters' violence at Capitol
The "Save America March" was organized in support of Trump's false assertions that he won the election and unproven claims of mass voter fraud in favor of Biden. Claiming that elections in "Third World countries" are "more honest," Trump framed his own efforts to invalidate the democratic process as a populist crusade.
"We will not let them silence your voices," he said. "We're not going to let it happen."

Taking the stage 58 minutes later than scheduled, Trump continued to ratchet up pressure on Vice President Mike Pence, who is tasked with presiding over the final certification by Congress, and Republican lawmakers, vowing retribution against those who don't place their loyalty to him above their oaths to the Constitution.
"I hope Mike is gonna do the right thing. I hope so. I hope so, because if Mike Pence does the right thing, we win the election," Trump said, claiming that "one of the top constitutional lawyers in our country" informed him the vice president has "the absolute right to" throw out the election results, which is not actually the case.

Trump was inflaming his supporters with such battle cries just as Pence arrived on Capitol Hill and delivered a formal letter, outlining his belief that he cannot "reject electoral votes unilaterally," essentially turning a deaf ear to the president's public pressure campaign.
Many attendees followed the president's directive to march up the National Mall toward the Capitol in order to "give our Republicans," Trump said, "the kind of pride and boldness that they need to take back our country."

As Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., delivered an impassioned speech blasting the Trump-led effort to overturn the election results, Trump supporters clashed with law enforcement officers outside the Capitol's eastern front and appeared to breach the building.
Although Trump retains the power to incite his supporters, McConnell's speech was a clear sign that the president's clout over his party may be waning. The comments came just hours after election runoffs in Georgia, where Democrats are on the verge of sweeping two Senate races to wrest control of the chamber away from the GOP, a defeat many Republicans have been quick to blame on Trump, whose attempts to overturn the presidential election dominated the final weeks of the campaign.

True to form, Trump ignored the latest electoral setback, calling the Georgia runoff a "a setup," instead claiming that the GOP owed its victories to him, and blasting "weak" and "pathetic" Republicans and presaging an ugly fight for control of the party.
"We have to primary the hell out of the ones that don't fight," Trump said bluntly. "If they do the wrong thing, we should never ever forget that they did."
Referring specifically to Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, one of his most frequent GOP critics and the only member of his own party to vote in favor of his impeachment conviction, Trump celebrated a video showing a supporter harassing the lawmaker in an airport terminal.
"I wonder if he enjoyed his flight in," Trump riffed.

Cougar movies rock! A lot of my favorite movies in the 80s just happen to center around older woman – younger man relationships. Looking back, there may have been some subconscious training going on. Now that decade is making a resurgence everywhere you look—fashion, music, design. Let's hope this revival brings more great cougar movies.
Sunset Blvd (old time glamour at its best) A former Hollywood film star hopes to revive her career with the help of a younger hack screenwriter.
The Graduate (a must-see for all cougars and cubs) Benjamin Braddock is seduced by Mrs. Robinson, his father's business partner, but then falls in love with her daughter.
Harold and Maude (you're never too old to be a cougar) Harold, a very young, rich, death-obsessed boy finds a new kind of love and life with Maude, an eccentric septuagenarian. Soundtrack by Cat Stevens.
Class (hot and steamy meets awkward) Rich city boy pushes his naive country boy friend into losing his virginity, only to find out his mother is in on the action.
How Stella Got Her Groove Back (cougar on vacation) Successful stockbroker Stella finds a young islander, Winston Shakespeare, to take her mind off her busy life back in New York.
The Good Girl (Catcher in the Rye Redux) Small town clerk, played by Jennifer Aniston, sparks an affair with a stock boy who imagines himself an incarnation of Holden Caulfield.
As you can see more and more younger men-older women films have been made over the years. I love going to matinees alone. You'd be surprised how many singles go to the movies. On one of my outings, I met a nerdy cub after The Life Aquatic. We talked about our love for Bill Murray in a nearby park and then shared a kiss. Are theatre hookups possible?

Kent v. De Coppet
LOTTIE KENT, Respondent,
EDWARD J. DE COPPET and Others, Doing Business under the Firm Name and Style of DE COPPET & DOREMUS, Appellants.
APPEAL by the defendants, Edward J. De Coppet and others, doing business under the firm name and style of De Coppet & Doremus, from a judgment of the Supreme Court in favor of the plaintiff, entered in the office of the clerk of the county of New York on the 28th day of June, 1911, upon the decision of the court rendered after a trial at the New York Trial Term, a jury having been waived.
Walter F. Taylor, for the appellants.
Henry Escher, Jr., for the respondent.
The defendants are stockbrokers doing business upon the New York Stock Exchange and this action is brought for the purpose of enforcing a contract for the sale to them of certain stock made upon the exchange in the usual way by other brokers who were acting for the plaintiff's assignor.
The appeal presents only a question of law, there being no contest between the parties as to the facts. On January 19, 1910, one James W. Escher, plaintiff's assignor, was the owner of twenty-five shares of the common stock of the Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron Company, a certificate for which was in his possession. About eleven o'clock in the forenoon of that day he telephoned the firm of Lathrop, Haskins & Co., brokers dealing upon the New York Stock Exchange, to sell this stock--he having previously purchased it through them. This they did, selling upon the exchange in the ordinary way, to the defendants, at eighty-three and five-eighths. The offer to sell and the acceptance to purchase were in writing, signed by the respective brokers in their own names, and the defendants had no knowledge that Lathrop, Haskins & Co.
was not making the sale on its own account. After the sale Lathrop, Haskins & Co. sent a notice in the usual form to Escher, stating the price at which the stock had been sold and naming the defendants as the brokers to whom the sale had been made. This notice was received by Escher, either late in the afternoon of the same day or early the next morning. By the terms of sale the certificate of stock was to be delivered on the day following, when the purchase price was to be paid. The fact is not disputed that under the rules of the Stock Exchange governing such transactions, if this contract had been fully performed in the ordinary course of business, the stock would have been delivered to the defendants by Lathrop, Haskins & Co., and the purchase price paid to them without Escher's appearing in the transaction at all. But on the day of sale, and shortly thereafter, Lathrop, Haskins & Co. notified the exchange it was insolvent and unable to meet its obligations. An announcement of that fact was immediately made upon the floor of the exchange and then the defendants, in accordance with the rules of the exchange applicable to such cases, proceeded to close all its contracts with the insolvent firm. They then had a number of contracts, both for the purchase of stocks from Lathrop, Haskins & Co., and for the sale of stock to them. The stock which they had contracted to purchase they purchased from other brokers at prevailing prices, and the stock which they had contracted to sell they likewise sold to other brokers, with the exception of the twenty-five shares of Columbus and Hocking stock, which was set off against the twenty-five shares which they had contracted to purchase from them. Owing to the difference in prices at which these sales and purchases were made a balance of $564.16 resulted in favor of Lathrop, Haskins & Co., which the defendants subsequently paid to the receiver in bankruptcy of that firm. On the morning following the failure of Lathrop, Haskins & Co., Escher, who had heard of it, called at the office of the defendants and presented to them his stock certificate, duly assigned and ready for transfer, with the notice of sale which he had received from his brokers, and a formal demand that the defendants take and pay for the stock. This they refused to do and Escher thereafter assigned the stock, and all his
right of action against the defendants in connection therewith, to the plaintiff, who thereupon commenced this action to recover the purchase price of the stock. The parties waived a jury trial and the court found in favor of the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. Judgment was entered accordingly and defendants appeal.
The appellants contend that the judgment is erroneous because under the rules of the Stock Exchange Lathrop, Haskins & Co. and the defendants, in the transaction complained of, acted as principals, and after the failure was announced settlement was made in accordance with such rules. One of the rules referred to provides that 'No party to a contract shall be compelled to accept a substitute principal, unless the name proposed to be substituted shall be declared in making the offer and as a part thereof.' Another, 'When written contracts shall have been exchanged, the signers thereof only are liable.' Also, 'When the insolvency of a member or firm is announced to the Exchange, members having contracts subject to the rules of the Exchange with the member or firm shall without unnecessary delay proceed to close the same * * *.' They contend that when Escher gave the direction to sell his stock he knew that Lathrop, Haskins & Co. dealt upon the Stock Exchange and that such dealings were subject to its rules. The defendants, undoubtedly, had the right to determine with whom they would contract ( Arkansas Smelting Co. v. Belden Co.,127 U.S. 379; Moore v. Vulcanite Portland Cement Co.,121 A.D. 667), and in Horton v. Morgan (19 N.Y. 170) it was said: 'The practice at the stock board, by which the brokers only, and not their customers, are known in their dealings with each other, was not unreasonable; and the plaintiff, by directing this purchase to be made, must be understood as consenting that it should be done in the usual manner.' When Escher gave the ...


Home > TEFL Blog > Teaching English in Asia > 6 Reasons to TEFL in Joyful Japan!
There's so much that's amazing about teaching English in Japan that we don't know where to start! Whether it's the the breath-taking beauty of sunrise over Mount Fuji, the welcoming, friendly people or the delicious cuisine (probably that one) – there's plenty to be enjoyed.
Intricate rolls of sushi, steaming bowls of delicious ramen, the unique taste of mochi ice-cream … We could go on (and on and on). Your new lunch could be so much more than a soggy sandwich and the same old packet of crisps. If you love food like we do, it's enough of a reason to pack your bags this minute!
If you're an intrepid traveller and you've been craving an exciting adventure off the beaten track, this one's for you. You could make the most of one of your days off by trekking up the majestic mountain-side and what's more, there's plenty of selfie opportunities on the way!
Ask anyone who lives there and they"ll tell you the same things; you feel safe walking the streets, the buses and trains arrive on time (!) and even littering is so rare you practically need to share it on Instagram. Plus it's so high-tech that even the toilet seats are heated throughout winter! It's the small things that matter when you're teaching English abroad.
While cost of living is relatively high in Japan – TEFL wages and the standard of living certainly make up for it! Not to mention, jobs often come with added perks like free accommodation and reimbursement of flights. Oh, and with South East Asia being in short flying distance, you could easily save enough to backpack around Thailand for a month or two!
It's just not possible to talk about teaching English in Japan without mentioning karaoke. You can actually hire a soundproofed (important) karaoke booth with a few friends and let out your inner Beyonce as you sip an Asahi or three. Why don't we have these everywhere?! Just another perk of living the TEFL life.
If you fancy getting a glimpse of the "old" Japan, Kyoto is the place to go. With it's brightly coloured shrines, ancient tofu shops (really?), traditional wooden buildings and over 1000 Buddhist temples, it's just like stepping back in time. And after a fun-filled week of TEFLing, it's the ideal weekend trip destination!

A reading nook is a wonderful way to create a special, restful place to enjoy books in the comfort of your own home. From creating the perfect spot to adding some on-trend accessories, here's how to make a chic space that works for you.
An ideal reading nook needs a chair or a seating area. If you have lots of space at home this could be a window seat with a gorgeous view, or if you are working to a smaller area you can simply use some cushions and floor pillows. You can create a relaxing refuge using minimal floor space, but it needs to be cosy and comfortable.
Whether you want to keep your approach minimal or go full-on hygge, textiles will turn your reading area into a laid-back environment for you to enjoy. From soft pillows to faux-fur throws, blankets and rugs, these soft materials will make your nook an inviting place to hunker down with a compelling read.
The sky is the limit with how creative you can be, and there are lots of ways you can add a distinct style to your new reading area. Bespoke lighting is a great way to create a calm and tranquil atmosphere to read in and get lost in that book; you could add a lamp to create some ambience, or fairy lights if you have a set to hand. A gallery wall of your favourite art work or family photos will serve as an inspirational background. Some greenery and house plants are a gorgeous way to bring the outside in, and they can be an added stress reliever too.
If you're a book lover, you may have a collection of well-loved books you want to show off and give pride of place in your reading nook. Shelves are an easy way to display everything in a neat and tidy manner. If you're a bibliophile, you may want to opt for a standalone unit to accommodate your growing collection, or some stylish floating shelves will add a sleek aesthetic. Whichever you opt for, make sure those books are within arms reach!

The possibility of an increase in brain glucose metabolism after intrathecal administrations of autologous mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) has been recently reported, suggesting a role in the treatment of neurological disorders. We describe here the utility of this type of cell therapy in chronic neurological sequelae due to cerebral hemorrhage.
A 49-year-old female suffered from 2009 severe neurological sequelae after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage open to ventricle in the left frontoparietal region. Eight years later, she received 3 intrathecal administrations of 100 million autologous MSCs each three months, until a total dose of 300 million.
From the first administration of MSCs, the patient reported a clear and progressive improvement that is maintained one year after finishing the cell therapy. The neurological improvement was associated to a progressive increase in global brain glucose metabolism measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET).
Late intrathecal administration of cell therapy with autologous MSCs may be a useful strategy to achieve improvement of chronic neurological sequelae due to hemorrhagic stroke.
After numerous preclinical studies and a growing experience in patients, there seems to be evidence of the usefulness of cell therapy in stroke, improving functional recovery [1-3]. However, these studies have generally been performed in acute phases, and the benefit has been attributed to the well-known properties of cell therapy, achieving neuroprotective effect or enhancing endogenous neurogenesis. At present, there are few data about the possible effect of cell therapy in late phases after stroke, and its possibility of achieving a long-term modification of the chronic established neurological sequelae.
Taking into account the importance of knowing the therapeutic window in which cell therapy can be useful in the treatment of stroke, in the past our group applied delayed cell therapy with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells (MSCs) after experimental cerebral hemorrhage in rodents, obtaining evidence that intracerebral administration of MSCs two months after brain hemorrhage can improve established neurological sequelae [4,5]. We describe here a patient in whom intrathecal administration of autologous MSCs, 8 years after the hemorrhagic stroke, improved established chronic sequelae. In this patient, clinical improvement was associated with a progressive increase in brain glucose metabolism, measured by 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET) a finding recently described in patients undergoing this type of cell therapy for sequelae of traumatic brain injury (TBI) . The increase of brain metabolism is a new effect of intrathecal MSCs administration and can offer a new explanation for the efficacy of late cell therapy in neurological disorders.
This 49-year-old female, right-handed, and computer engineer, with more than 20 years of formal education, suffered in 2009 from spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage in the left frontoparietal area, open to ventricule. Angiographic study did not show presence of aneurysms or vascular malformations. After spontaneous resolution of the hemorrhage, the patient has been receiving a comprehensive neurorehabilitation program of physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy and neuropsychological intervention. Currently, she continues her physiotherapy and neuropsychological treatment. In 2017, 8 years after brain hemorrhage, the patient comes to us requesting a possible treatment of cell therapy.
At this time a study of Magnetic Resonance (MR) showed a large intracerebral cavity in the area where the hemorrhage took place, communicated with the ventricular system (Figure 1), and 18F-FDG-PET showed hypometabolism in the areas adjacent to the lesion, and in posterior region of the left basal ganglia.
Clinical examination showed residual right hemiparesis (great difficulty in gait, loss of balance and instability requiring the use of external supports), and severe spasticity on right upper extremity, especially on hand, with no functionality. She complained of communication problems and cognitive deficits such as memory problems, attention difficulties (mental fatigue after few minutes using the computer, difficulties to follow conversations, to attend several stimuli at the same time), anomia, reading problems (she hardly could read half page without forgetting it or be feeling very tired). Neuropsychological assessment revealed a poor performance, mainly in attention, learning, and memory, planning, naming, verbal fluency, speech and gesture apraxia tasks.
Spanish Agency for Medications and Health Products (AEMPS), and Medical Management of Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda Hospital authorized us the treatment with our NC1 medicament. It is a cell therapy medicament developed in our clean room of the neurosurgical service of the Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda Hospital, and currently approved as a medicament under clinical investigation (PEI No. 12-141). It consists of expanded autologous MSCs obtained from bone marrow, and autologous plasma as its excipient. Techniques for culture and expansion of MSCs, phenotypic characterization, formulation and packaging have been previously described [7-9].
Between March 2017 and September 2017, the patient received 3 intrathecal administrations of 100 million de autologous mesenchymal stromal cells each three months, until a total dose of 300 million of MSCs. This treatment study conducted in accordance with the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki  and good clinical practice guidelines . Informed consent was obtained, after explaining the experimental nature of the treatment and our previous experience obtained with intrathecal administration of this type of cell therapy in patients with neurological sequelae due to spinal cord injury (SCI)  and traumatic brain injury (TBI) .
From the first administration of cell therapy, the patient reported progressively a generalized and appreciable improvement in her mobility and cognitive deficits. At the end of the treatment, a clear reduction in spasticity and improvement in her stability and gait was observed. She can walk for more than one hour without external supports or supervision of her movements. Attention and planning abilities got better. She can work on her computer for several hours without feeling tired, even when she is doing complex tasks. She also enjoys reading for at least one hour, remembering most of it. Articulation of language and oral expression have also improved, and autonomy for daily activities is also increased. Furthermore, prior to cells transplantation, the patient described taking laxatives and a high-fiber diet for constipation. Just after the first cell doses, she experienced no need of them.
Her family, friends, physiotherapist, and neuropsychologist corroborated all these advances.
Neuropsychological assessment confirmed cognitive improvement after cell therapy. She showed a better performance on Addenbrooke Cognitive Examination-Revised (ACE-R) test , with 94 points (79 points previous). Visual and verbal memory, measured by Rey Complex Figure Test (RCFT) , and the Spanish adaptation (TAVEC)  of California Verbal Learning Test (CVLT) respectively, also increased notably.
Furthermore, the patient had a clear enhancement in planning (Zoo test profile score from -1 to 3) , working memory (10 to 12) measured by Letters and Numbers test , naming 11 to 12 correct spontaneous words, 4 to 3 phonetic cues on Short-Form Boston Naming Test (BNT) , and semantic fluency (animals, vegetables, kitchen utensils and clothes), with mean score from 12.25 to 15. These clinical improvements are maintained one year after finishing MSCs administration. Figure 2 shows changes in visual and verbal memory. Studies with 18F-FDG-PET performed approximately two weeks after each administration of MSCs showed progressive increases in global brain glucose metabolism during the cell therapy (Figure 3).
Figure 2: Changes in visual and verbal memory.
It is well known, that, in preclinical studies, diverse types of cell therapy can improve neurological sequelae after brain hemorrhage [3-5]. However, the difficulty in maintaining long-term animals models with chronic neurological sequelae after stroke prevents obtaining conclusions about when a possible cell therapy application can be useful. On the other hand, after experimental brain hemorrhage in rodents, neurological improvement has been reported by us after intracerebral transplantation of MSCs, but cell therapy was applied few months after the injury. In these preclinical experiences, the possibllity of a reactivation of endogenous neurogenesis, and cell replacement, has been suggested .
Our present case demonstrates, for the first time in patients, that late intrathecal administration of cell therapy with MSCs can improve chronic sequelae due to intracerebral hemorrhage. In our case, after intrathecal administration of MSCs, a progressive increase in cerebral glucose metabolism is observed, suggesting a new mechanism for neurological improvement and supports previous findings of our group in patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) .
Taking into account the scarce clinical experience in this field of research, we believe it is necessary to study a greater number of patients, in order to confirm the usefulness of intrathecal administration of autologous MSCs in chronic and long-term established sequelae after hemorrhagic stroke. It is obvious that these studies open a new door of hope in patients with lesions until now considered irreversible and a new therapeutic perspective in the field of the contemporary neurology.

New projects in Rome, Milan and Tokyo for the studio that has made the research of materials its own stylistic hallmark.
Ever more requests and ever more on the move. Simone Farresin and Andrea Trimarchi, the founders of Formafantasma, are confirming the predictions made by the New York Times, which in 2011 identified them as being among the most influential designers of the next 10 years. Recently returned from Tokyo, where they are organising a few projects that are still top secret (one of these relates to a collaboration with a Japanese company for the 2016 edition of the Salone del Mobile), the designers talked to us from their new studio in Amsterdam to tell us about what is capturing their attention right now. "We are finishing up "Delta", a collection created for Galleria O of Rome that pays homage to the Tiber river, which we made at the invitation of Domitilla Dardi, Curator of Design at MAXXI. It includes lamps, tables and crockery, and it will be presented at the end of the year", they explained. As already occurred with "De Natura Fossilium", the project development started with a visit to the city, in particular to its archeological museums, which then led to the study and focus on a few materials with strong connotations. In this case it was black travertine, red porcelain, bronze, silver and small fragments of marble.

On the horizon is another collaboration with an important contemporary art gallery, this time it's the Milanese Peep Hole, where in February 2016 Formafantasma will focus on the topic of light. "At this moment it's very attractive to us – they confirm – and for 2017 we also have a project with a company precisely based on this element". But that's all they'll say. Their thoughts are returning to the research of primary materials, which has long fascinated the duo of designers with the greatest tendency towards alchemy in the current design landscape. "In a few months we'll be creating a window display in Tokyo using food as the principal staging material. An operation linked to the frailty and at the same time the ambiguity of a material – industrial food – that is used to produce biodegradable materials like grocery bags made of corn, and also as a food". Just like with "Craftica" and "Botanica", the material itself is always the motor for the actions of Formafantasma. Because first comes research and the form . . . follows.

The UK's top young racers will now head to the RS:X Youth Worlds, Sills eager to defend her title and Martin keen to improve on his previous position. Good luck guys!
Great Britain's Saskia Sills will aim to defend her RS:X Girls title at the Sail First ISAF Youth Sailing World Championship whilst an open RS:X Boys fleet means no certainties.
Twenty two RS:X Girls competitors and 28 RS:X Boys sailors will take to the start line on 15 July aiming to take the ISAF St. Moritz Boardsailing Championship trophy and the Paul Phelan Boardsailing trophy respectively.
As defending champion Sills will head to Limassol, Cyprus aiming to replicate her 2012 performance from Dublin Bay, Ireland.
Sills flew out of the traps at the 2012 edition winning four of the first six races to open up a strong lead at the midway point. As her opponents rallied Sills remained consistent to secure the title by 12 points.
Set to challenge Sills for the title will be Israel's Hadar Heller. The Israeli sailor won gold at the RS:X Europeans beating Sills, who finished third, by 16 points. Despite a shaky start Heller was strong towards the latter stages of the event which was enough to stand atop of the podium ahead of her rivals.
Also showing good form at the RS:X Europeans in Brest, France was Hong Kong's Wai Yan Ngai who finished ninth.
The 2012 sailors making a reappearance in Cyprus alongside Sills include Sara Wennekes (NED), Blanca Alabau (ESP), Stefanie Schwarz (GER), Anastasia Moiseeva (RUS), Annalise Gilbert (AUS), Cristina Ortiz (MEX) and Momoka Hara (JPN).
The RS:X Boys field will be wide open with plenty of sailors in the fleet capable of taking gold with good experience behind them.
Argentina's Bautista Saubidet recently won gold at the RS:X Open Youth Europeans in Brest, France as the top six featured five of the competitors set to sail in Limassol, Cyprus.
Saubidet sailed consistently all week to finish ahead of Polish representative Radoslaw Furmanski and Hong Kong's Chun Ting Lee on the podium. Russia's Evgeny Ayvazyan came through in fourth with Kieran Martin taking sixth.
Great Britain's Kieran Martin won bronze at the Singapore 2010 Youth Olympic Games and will be looking to draw upon lessons learnt from Singapore as well as a ninth at the 2012 Youth Worlds, "That [Youth Olympic Games] was a great experience in terms of having all the people around," said Martin who is also a former Under 15 and Under 17 Techno World Champion.
Yago Carvlho (BRA), Ignacio Berenguer (MEX) and Oleksandr Tugaryev (UKR) all finished in the top ten in 2012 and will also be contenders for the top honours.
Racing at the 2013 Sail First ISAF Youth Worlds commences on 15 July through to 19 July in eight events, good luck to all competitors!
6 out of 6 Wins for Imogen Sills!

POKER HALL OF FAME ANNOUNCES CLASS OF 2019
July 15, 2019 - 08:29:57 PM EST | Seth Palansky
LAS VEGAS (July 15, 2019) – The 2019 Poker Hall of Fame (PHOF) Class has its newest members as the man who ignited the poker boom Chris Moneymaker and noted poker professional David Oppenheim enter poker's elite club.
Moneymaker and Oppenheim become the 57th and 58th individuals to be inducted into the Poker Hall of Fame.
The voting was cast by the 30 living Poker Hall of Fame members, and a 21-person media panel, it was announced today by the Poker Hall of Fame Governing Council.
Moneymaker and Oppenheim were inducted officially tonight as part of the live World Series of Poker Main Event final table coverage on ESPN.
"In the record-setting 50th year of the World Series of Poker, we are reminded how critical Chris Moneymaker has been to influencing recreational players to pursue their dreams and he will certainly be amongst the most important figures of all time," said Poker Hall of Fame Governing Council member Ty Stewart. "Oppenheim is a pro's pro and has finally received his long overdue recognition."
The Poker Hall of Fame Governing Council would like to recognize and congratulate the other 2019 finalists, all whom remain eligible for future induction: Chris Bjorin, David Chiu, Eli Elezra, Antonio Esfandiari, Chris Ferguson, Ted Forrest, Mike Matusow and Huckleberry Seed.
"I'm very honored... very happy," says Moneymaker upon receiving the news. "It's great for my kids -- it'll be a cool thing for them to see when they grow up."
"Being recognized as one of the all-time greats by my peers is truly humbling and I am honored to have been selected to the Poker Hall of Fame, said Oppenheim." "I have been so fortunate to be able to do what I love for a living. I never planned to be a professional poker player, rather it was a passion that became my job. People often ask me, how does one become a professional poker player? The answer is hard work and that goes for everyone that plays at the highest level. From the time I began playing I was incredibly passionate about poker and it led to me being able to travel this road that has been travelled by very few. Again, I am extremely grateful to be receiving this honor. Thank you."
About this year's inductees:
"This is beyond fairy tale," said Norman Chad. "It's inconceivable!" That was in 2003 and he was talking about an accountant from Tennessee who was playing in his first live poker tournament after winning his entry into the event in an online satellite for $86. But it wasn't just any event. It was the world championship of poker, the 2003 WSOP Main Event, where first place was $2.5 million and ESPN cameras were everywhere. It's often said that poker is divided into two eras, pre-Moneymaker, and post-Moneymaker. And that's all because 43-year-old Chris Moneymaker was able to capture the crown in 2003 at age 27. With hole cards being shown on ESPN for the first time, viewers at home were enamored by the "Aww shucks Accountant" that bluffed and bullied back at the pros on that fateful 2003 run. What followed Chris' victory was a Tonight Show appearance, wide media coverage and a boom poker had never seen before, aptly now called the "Moneymaker effect." It's inconceivable to find someone's first live cash in poker come with a victory and world championship, but that is the case with Chris. He's been juggling family and poker ever since, serving as one of the sport's greatest ambassadors and cashing in tournaments every year since 2003. The Nashville, Tennessee native has now amassed $3.844 million in earnings, cashing 100 different times on four different continents. Suffice to say, Chris' victory that day changed the course of poker history.
DAVID OPPENHEIM
A Los Angeles cash game pro who resides in Calabasas, California, Oppenheim, 46 is considered one of the most feared cash game players in the game. While his tournament career shows $1,991,545 in career winnings, including his most notable moment in the 2010 WSOP Poker Players Championship where he finished third for $603,348. David's career spans a quarter-century, in which he has gained proficiency in all the mixed games and continues to build upon his reputation as one of the savviest pros on the felt.
The Poker Hall of Fame, established in 1979, was acquired by Harrah's Entertainment (now Caesars) along with the World Series of Poker in 2004. Though the Hall of Fame is virtual in nature, its membership includes poker's most influential players and other important contributors to the game. There are now 32 living members.
The main criteria for the Poker Hall of Fame are as follows:
A player must have played poker against acknowledged top competition
Be a minimum of 40 years old at time of nomination
Played for high stakes
Played consistently well, gaining the respect of peers
Stood the test of time
Or, for non-players, contributed to the overall growth and success of the game of poker, with indelible positive and lasting results.

Imperial Jade is a rock band born in the Maresme province, in Barcelona in 2012 by five young friends and rock and roll lovers. The band is formed by Francesc López (Drums), Alex Pañero (guitar), Arnau Ventura (voice), Hugo Nubiola (guitar/keyboard), Ricard Turró (bass) and it is characterised by itssound that bring us back to the times where rock music ruled the world: the 70's. In November 2015 the band released their first record "Please Welcome Imperial Jade" which was acclaimed for the specialized press, setting it on numerous top lists of best releases of the year. Throughout 2016 Imperial Jade toured all through Spain presenting the album by giving numerous gigs booked by themselves, what brought them to open for the Californian band Rival Sons in Barcelona and the Swedish EUROPE in their two concerts given in Madrid and Barcelona among other great bands such as Ten Years After or Michael Monroe. In 2017 the band decides to bet hard on the recording of two new singles in analog tape at Music Lan Studios, then mixed in Nashville, USA by sound engineer John Netti: (Rival Sons, Europe, Black Stone Cherry, Bon Jovi…) and mastered at The Room Studio by Gorka Dresbaj. All through the year, Imperial Jade keeps playing gigs at different venues and appears for the first time live on TV at Los conciertos de Radio 3 of RTVE (Spanish TV channel), also playing in the main stage of Rock Fest BCN sharing stage with bands like Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Airbourne or Alice Cooper, heading numerous small festivals through Spain and playing in renowned festivals such as the Afro-american music festival Enclave de Agua being the first hard-rock proposal of the festival in its ten editions. The band will release their new album "On The Rise" on 21 December 2018 via Epictronic/The Orchard. The CD will be available starting the 18th of January 2019 via Aural Music Group.
«Imperial Jade» were formed in 2012. What were your musical whereabouts before? Did you play at any other bands? How did meet each other and came to create your band?
In 2012 Alex, Fran and Arnau (guitar, drums and lead vocals) decided to form a band. Alex and Arnau where studying together in the same school and were friends of Fran. They needed a bass player and soon found Ricard. They named the band "Blackway" and started rehearsing and playing gigs around. It was two years later, in 2014 that I (Hugo) joined them. We were good friends and I was a huge fan of what they were doing, by that time they felt like they needed a second guitarist and asked me to join them. That year we recorded and EP called "It's What We've Got", featuring five original songs and a year later we decided to record our first LP. By that time we also decided to change our name, we felt like it was a good moment to do so, with the release of our first LP and we didn't feel comfortable anymore as "Blackway". So Imperial Jade sounded good and the album was finally named "Please Welcome Imperial Jade".
How would you describe your music? Do you think that the term «Revival Band» is true to your musical direction?
It could be! I'd just call it rock and roll, in the most generic way. We've come to the conclusion that most of the bands we like play many different styles, so we try not to close ourselves in a very specific style.
There's a 70's vibe in your music but with a modern approach. How did you come up with this sound?
I think it just comes naturally. We all have a huge influence from the music of the 60's and 70's as it is what we all have listened during our childhood/teenage years. But of course we also have listened to the music of today, and we can't help but get influenced somehow.
What was the local scene like when you started? Did you encounter any problems or did you have any support in your first steps?
It was more or less the same as now… It is difficult, we are playing a music genre that in Spain doesn't have a huge audience plus we are singing in English… Also we feel like not much is done to promote music and culture by our government. But the truth is that there are lots of good bands in Barcelona and in Spain, it's just that these bands don't get the recognition they deserve.
Your first LP «Please Welcome Imperial Jade» was released Nov 2015. What was the reception?
It was great! The truth is that we had zero expectation on what was going to happen, I think we didn't even know that something would happen! But the specialized media here in Spain reacted very well and we had the chance to tour the country and play in many different places in front of people who were really digging our music, and that's the best of rewards!
What were your feelings when you opened for bands like Rival Sons and Europe?
That was huge! With Rival Sons we opened for them just in Barcelona, in 2016. They are one of our favorite bands from the moment and we got to meet them, so we were super excited. Their show was awesome. With Europe we opened for them in Madrid and Barcelona, we had the chance to play two venues full of people and the audience reacted very well.
In 2017 and 2018 you played with bands like Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Aerosmith and Airbourne. How was that experience for you?
Awesome! As I said before when we released our first album we didn't know what was going to happen, and thanks to it we got to play in festivals with some of our favorite bands. As you said we shared stage with bands like Aerosmith and Deep Purple, can you imagine? In these kinds of festivals most of the times we don't get to do a sound check so it is a little scary too… But in the end these kind of stuff is what really keeps us motivated to go on.
Your new album 'On the Rise' was just released. Tell us your feelings about it. Did you have a different approach in the recordings compared to your previous releases?
Yes, we feel like we have worked more on this one. We have experimented more with sound and I think that is reflected in the album, as every song is different from each other. We have taken our time to work on it with no hurries, and we are very happy with the result. "Please Welcome" was a very good album and we are very proud of it but on this one is a step forward and that's what it's all about.
What are your plans for supporting the new album?
We are currently scheduling a tour in Spain to support the album and we are planning to go abroad, maybe tour Europe and who knows…? We are ready for anything and decided to do what it takes to bring our music to anyone who wants to listen. We still have to see how the audience reacts to our music.
What do you think of the rock scene in Spain?
Well as I told before there are still lots of good rock bands in Spain, though we have few opportunities here. To name a few, our friends JARPS, who have released a new and awesome album, '77 also from Barcelona, The Electric Alley or The Wizards are all great bands from Spain.
Thank you for your time. Please send a message to the listeners of Black Velvet Radio.
Thanks to you Black Velvet Radio and to the listeners for keeping rock and roll alive! It really means a lot. And don't forget to check out our new album "On The Rise", available on all digital platforms! Hope you enjoy it!

Woldemar Oskar Döring (* 24. Oktober 1880 in Leipzig; † 20. September 1948 in Lübeck) war ein deutscher Philosoph, Psychologe und Jurist.

Leben
Döring studierte Jura und Philosophie in Leipzig und promovierte 1904 bei Wilhelm Wundt in Philosophie sowie 1906 in Recht. Döring war Leiter der psychologisch-philosophischen Fortbildungskurse für Lehrer in Lübeck. Bis 1934, als er aus der Reichskulturkammer wegen Mitarbeit von Wissenschaftlern "nichtarischer Abstammung" (u. a. eintreten für William Stern) ausgeschlossen wurde, hatte er viele philosophische und psychologische Werke geschrieben. Döring kann als Mitbegründer der  Schulpsychologie gelten, u. a. entwickelte er eine "Psychologie der Schulklasse" – die als Vorläufer heutiger Untersuchungsmethoden betrachtet wird und in den USA und Russland rezipiert wurde.

Von 1933 bis 1945 durfte Döring kein Buch mehr veröffentlichen, das war jedoch nach Döring eine "Zeit intensivsten Schaffens". In dieser Phase sind die meisten seiner philosophischen Schriften entstanden, welche erst seit 1998 vom LIT-Verlag publiziert wurden und 11 Bände umfassen. Allerdings wurde er trotz der widrigen Umstände 1935 in Degeners Wer ist's? aufgenommen.

Ganzheitsphilosophie, Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie

In seinem Frühwerk (bis 1933) setzte sich Döring mit Kant, Fichte, Schopenhauer und der Kunstphilosophie auseinander und publizierte hierfür allgemeinverständliche Werke. Dörings Ansatz war neben seinem Lehrer Wundt insbesondere durch Kant und Sterns "personalistische Philosophie" geprägt.

In seinem von 1934 bis 1948 entstandenen Spätwerk beschäftigte sich Döring intensiv mit der Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie einzelner Disziplinen. Er bezeichnete seinen Ansatz als Ganzheitsphilosophie, der eine der wenigen ganzheitsphilosophischen Ansätze darstellt, welche nicht durch die nationalsozialistische Weltanschauung geprägt ist. Im Fokus steht dabei das Spannungsverhältnis von "mechanistisch stückhaften Erkennen" und dem "ganzheitlichen Erkennen". Grundposition von Döring war: Die Wirklichkeit könne nur durch ganzheitliche Begriffe wesensgemäß aufgefasst werden; die durch das mechanistische Erkennen aufgebaute Wirklichkeit der leblosen Natur könne nicht die wahre Wirklichkeit sein.

Die posthum veröffentlichten 11 Bände beschäftigen sich mit der Erkenntnis- und Wissenschaftstheorie der Physik, der Medizin und Biologie, der Soziologie und Geschichtswissenschaft, der Rechtswissenschaft, der Kulturwissenschaft, der Sprachwissenschaft und der Psychologie. Hierbei entwickelte er in kritischer Auseinandersetzung zu Kant eine "ganzheitsphilosopische Erkenntnislehre", die auf einer "Kritik der ganzheitlichen erkennenden Vernunft" gründet.

Zitate

"Die Philosophie hat die Aufgabe, das Ganze der Wirklichkeit allseitig theoretisch zu gestalten. Die Einzelwissenschaften gestalten nur einseitig den Wirklichkeitsbereich ihres besonderen Gegenstandsbegriffs."

Let me start by wishing myself a Happy Name Day! Today is the Feast of St. Lucia. It was also my grandmother's birthday. She was who I was named after.
For quite some time I have been in search of the perfect Pasta e Fagioli recipe. Most recipes have a tomato base but I prefer it without the tomatoes. There is a restaurant near my Dad's house, Lorenzo's, which makes it just the way I like it, no tomatoes.
I have finally found a recipe that I can say will be my favorite. It came from an eblast I received from La Cucina Magazine site. Pasta and Bean Soup with Sausage. The recipe calls for pancetta in addition to the sausage. Some toasted Italian bread, a drizzle of olive oil and a glass of wine made this a delicious dinner.
The recipe says it makes enough serve 4 to 6 people. I had enough for dinner tonight, I froze some and I brought some to my Dad!
Rinse beans, then place with head of garlic and herb sprigs in a large saucepan and cover with water by 3 inches. Soak for 8 hours, or overnight.
Place saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a low boil; reduce to a gentle simmer and cook, adding water as necessary to keep level 2 to 3 inches above beans, until beans are tender, about 45 minutes or more (cooking time varies depending on age of beans).
Reserving cooking liquid, drain beans through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl; discard garlic and herb sprigs. Separately, set aside beans and their liquid.
Finely chop remaining garlic clove. In a large heavy pot with lid or Dutch oven, combine pancetta and sausage; heat over medium-high heat, stirring frequently and breaking up sausage into bits with a wooden spoon, until fat is rendered and sausage is cooked through, about 7 minutes. Add onion and oil, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring frequently, until onion is softened, about 5 minutes. Add chopped garlic and cook 2 minutes more. Add reserved beans, 2 cups bean cooking liquid, broth and 2 1/4 cups water; bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 25 minutes.
Increase heat to bring soup to a low boil; add pasta and cook until pasta is just al dente (pasta will continue to cook in soup; do not overcook). Season with salt and pepper to taste (soup can be thinned, if desired, using remaining bean cooking liquid). Ladle soup into serving bowls; sprinkle with parsley and drizzle with oil.
But the big news is that this Saturday we will be picking up a cat from Forgotten Felines. Her name is Lucy and she has had a rough life so far.
We hope she and Archie will be best friends.
