MINNEAPOLIS (AP) The Minnesota Vikings brought back little to show from a trip to one of the toughest places to play in the NFL. Other than additional injuries to important players and perhaps some pride in a fourth-quarter rally in Seattle that fell a bit short, that is.
There's a reward waiting for them at home, though, with a depleted Detroit Lions team toting a five-game losing streak. The Vikings will make the playoffs if they win out, and the last quarter of the season presents an unprecedented advantage. All three NFC North foes must play this month at U.S. Bank Stadium, where the Vikings are 5-0 this year and 23-7 in the regular season and postseason since it opened in 2016.
Never before in team history have the Vikings had more than two intradivision home games stashed in the final four weeks of the schedule. The NFL first went to a divisional alignment in 1967.
''We need this one, and it's going to be really important the last quarter of the season, now that we're three-quarters of the way through, that we finish really strong,'' quarterback Kirk Cousins said. ''We've still got to go out and earn everything in front of us.''
Even with Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford likely to miss his fifth straight game to a back and hip injury, with undrafted rookie David Blough now manning the offense, the Vikings (8-4) ought not to relax about this game. The last time they played at home on Nov. 17, they fell behind 20-0 at halftime to a Denver team that's now 4-8, before furiously rallying for a 27-23 victory. In the third game of the 2018 season, as a 16 1/2-point favorite at home against a Buffalo team that finished 6-10, the Vikings never even began a comeback and fell 27-6.
These Lions (3-8-1) have led in every game, and each of their losses during the streak have come by eight points or fewer.
''For us, there are positives in all of it and negatives in all of it,'' coach Matt Patricia said. ''You'd certainly rather be in close games than not close games, that's for sure.''
Prior to Minnesota's 42-30 win at Detroit on Oct. 20, the Lions lost by one point to Green Bay and by four points to Kansas City after leading both of those games with less than 30 seconds to go.
''They have highly paid, highly skilled players, and we barely beat them in Detroit. Barely,' ` Cousins said. ''You'd have to be pretty clueless to ever use the word `overlook' in terms of getting ready for this one.''
Blough performed admirably in his debut on Thanksgiving Day, passing for 280 yards and two touchdowns and one late interception against a stout Chicago defense to give the Lions a spark.
''It was fun to see the guys have my back and lifting me up,'' Blough said.
Here's a closer look at the matchup on Sunday:
RUDOLPH THE RED ZONE TARGET
Kyle Rudolph, who has nine touchdown receptions in 15 career games against the Lions, has six scores plus a 2-point conversion in the last six games for the Vikings. Cousins has grown increasingly comfortable throwing passes into tight windows to the ninth-year tight end, who has made a habit of one-handed grabs in the back of the end zone.
''I take a lot of pride in trying to make the quarterback right,'' Rudolph said.
BRIGHT SPOT BO
Hampered by a knee injury to starter Kerryon Johnson, the Lions have given carries to seven running backs this season. Johnson has returned to practice, but Bo Scarbrough has been a bright spot for the offense in the meantime.
''You can see him breaking tackles at the first level, breaking tackles at the second level. He can finish the run and kind of have that punishing style,'' Lions offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell said. ''I think he's just kind of brought a little bit of the mentality that we're looking for, the blue-collar guy, the physical, punishing style that you'd like to play in this division.''
The Vikings just got done playing against that punishing kind of style, and they didn't fare well, allowing a season-most 218 rushing yards to the Seahawks on 43 attempts.
''You've always got to start with stopping the run. That's going to set you up for success,'' strong safety Harrison Smith said.
BANGED-UP VIKINGS
Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen has played only a handful of snaps in the five games since hurting his hamstring during a touchdown catch in the first quarter at Detroit. Coach Mike Zimmer said Thielen has ''a good opportunity'' to return Sunday, but if there's any question about his condition the Vikings will undoubtedly opt for caution and keep him on the sideline again.
Running back Dalvin Cook is also uncertain for the game, having departed in Seattle in the third quarter, but his injury to the collarbone area is more about pain tolerance than risk of reinjury.
''I feel good, actually better than I expected,'' Cook said. ''I'll be out there.''
RARE AIR
Detroit wide receiver Kenny Golladay has joined Hall of Famer Randy Moss as the only two players in the last 35 years to have at least 45 receptions, average 20-plus yards per catch and score nine receiving touchdowns or more through the first 12 games of the season. Golladay needs 50 yards to reach the 1,000-yard mark for the second straight year and give the Lions a 1,000-yard receiver for the 10th consecutive season.
SECONDARY, A PRIMARY CONCERN
The Vikings have been uncharacteristically vulnerable in pass defense this season, with two-time Pro Bowl cornerback Xavier Rhodes among the culprits. Golladay is far from the only downfield threat posed by the Lions, with Marvin Jones and Danny Amendola also needing to be accounted for. Jones had four touchdown receptions against the Vikings in the first matchup this year.

Allen Lazard Jan 19 11:20pm ET
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Allen Lazard caught three of four targets for 36 yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Lazard may not have made much noise in the two playoff games but flashed some potential in the regular season, including his first career 100-yard game. Rodgers started to develop a little chemistry with the 6-foot-4 wideout late in the season, as he looked his way 17 times in the last two contests. It would be surprising if Lazard were the number-two receiver for the Packers next year, though it still makes sense for them to bring him back in some capacity. Lazard has some sleeper potential if he's catching passes from Rodgers in 2020.
Patrick Mahomes Jan 19 11:13pm ET
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes' 87 passing touchdowns in his first 35 games, including playoffs, are the most in NFL history. His 11 passing touchdowns and 142 pass attempts without an interception to begin his playoff career are both the most on record, and he is one of just two players to have at least 250 passing yards, three or more passing touchdowns and at least 50 rushing yards in multiple career playoff games.
Raheem Mostert Jan 19 11:13pm ET
San Francisco 49ers RB Raheem Mostert rushed for 220 yards and four touchdowns on 29 carries in a 37-20 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 19, becoming the first player in NFL history to rush for at least 200 yards and four touchdowns in a playoff game.
Davante Adams Jan 19 11:00pm ET
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Davante Adams caught nine of 10 targets for 138 yards in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Adams operated as Rodgers' safety blanket yet again, capturing 79 more receiving yards than the Packers' next leading receiver. When healthy, this is what the 26-year-old did all year, as he compiled double-digit targets in all but four games, including the playoffs. Despite missing five games, Adams still almost put up a 1000-year season. It would behoove Green Bay to put together a stronger receiver group behind the star receiver. Even if they don't, a healthy Adams should be back in the discussion as an elite fantasy wideout in 2020.
Jamaal Williams Jan 19 10:40pm ET
Green Bay Packers running back Jamaal Williams picked up just six rushing yards on three carries and caught two passes for one receiving yard in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Williams had a disappointing end to his season, as he failed to register at least 40 rushing yards in his last three games after eclipsing the mark in his previous three. The 24-year-old did show flashes at times of being the perfect complement to Aaron Jones. Still, it will be interesting to see if Green Bay hands the reins to Jones next year or continues to spell him with Williams. For now, consider Williams more of a handcuff option than a complement heading into 2020.
Jimmy Garoppolo Jan 19 10:23pm ET
San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo completed six of his eight passes for 77 yards in a 37-20 win over the Green Bay Packers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 19. RB Raheem Mostert rushed 29 times for 220 yards and four touchdowns and caught two passes for six yards, and RB Tevin Coleman rushed six times for 21 yards. WR Deebo Samuel caught two passes for 46 yards and rushed twice for 43 yards, TE George Kittle caught his only target for 19 yards, and WR Emmanuel Sanders was held without a catch on one target. DE Joey Bosa and DL Arik Armstead both recorded a sack.
Aaron Jones Jan 19 10:20pm ET
Green Bay Packers running back Aaron Jones carried the ball 12 times for 56 yards and a rushing touchdown along with five catches for 27 yards and a receiving score in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Jones was running well and would have been able to do more damage on the ground if not for the 27-0 deficit at the half. The 24-year-old finished the year tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with 19, then added four more scores in the playoffs. He (likely) won't score this many times next year, though Jones proved he's more than just a touchdown machine, racking up career-highs in both rushing and receiving yards. He'll be among the best options in 2020 for fantasy backs in all formats.
Aaron Rodgers Jan 19 10:10pm ET
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of 39 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. At first glance, Rodgers' stat line doesn't look so bad, though the first half was a complete struggle for him and the offense. Down 27-0 at the half, the veteran signal-caller effectively used up garbage time to post these numbers. It's a disappointing end to the season for Rodgers, though he still put up his eighth career 4000-yard season as well as his 10th season with at least 25 touchdown passes. The 36-year-old has plenty of juice left in his arm but will probably need another threat on the outside next year besides Davante Adams if Green Bay wants to make noise.
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers completed 31 of his 39 passes for 326 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions and lost one of his three fumbles in a 37-20 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game Sunday, Jan. 19. RB Aaron Jones rushed 12 times for 56 yards and a touchdown and caught five passes for 27 yards and a score. WR Davante Adams caught nine of his 10 targets for 138 yards, TE Jimmy Graham hauled in four of his five targets for 59 yards, WR Allen Lazard added three catches for 36 yards, and TE Jace Sternberger caught two passes for 13 yards and a touchdown. LB Blake Martinez led the team with nine tackles, including six solo stops.
Jaire Alexander Jan 19 9:13pm ET
Green Bay Packers CB Jaire Alexander (thumb) has been ruled out for the remainder of the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Jan. 19.
Updating a previous report, San Francisco 49ers RB Tevin Coleman (shoulder) has been downgraded to out after leaving in the first half of the NFC Championship Game against the Green Bay Packers due to what is being called a shoulder injury.
Adrian Amos Jan 19 8:53pm ET
Green Bay Packers S Adrian Amos (pectoral) suffered a pectoral injury in the NFC Championship Game against the San Francisco 49ers Sunday, Jan. 19 and he will not return.

Q: How to import csv files with schema I am looking for a way to import csv files with schma (.ini file).
I want import the csv into a datatable.
I don't want to use excel interop, because of known issues in running it on windows services.
Is there a way to do so in another tool or technology such as OpenXML?
I've already tested Aspose's and Syncfusion's tools  - and it seems they can't offer a solution here. Would appreciate any help.

A: You can do this with an ODBC connection, which treats the text file as a database. Just make sure the .ini file is in the same location as the text-file.
Recording a macro in Excel from the following steps will give you some base code to work with.

*

*Data > Import External Data > New Database Query

*

*Select  In Create New Data Source,

*choose a name

*select the driver - Microsoft Text Driver (*.txt, *.csv)

*click Connect and in ODBC Text Setup select the folder containing the csv file

*select a default table - the csv file (optional)

A similar process can be coded in C# without using Interop. It just uses a database connection, probably OleDbConnection.

Q: Two targets with the same name in a Makefile I was wondering what happens if there is 2 targets with the same name in a Makefile:
According to This question, Having 2 targets with the same name throws warnings.
However, i don't understand how this Makefile in openwrt works:
In include/package.mk:
define Build/DefaultTargets
$(if $(QUILT),$(Build/Quilt))
$(if $(USE_SOURCE_DIR)$(USE_GIT_TREE),,$(if $(strip $(PKG_SOURCE_URL)),$(call Download,default)))
$(call Build/Autoclean)

download:
    $(foreach hook,$(Hooks/Download),
    $(call $(hook))$(sep)
)

Note here the call to Downloadfunction in the 3rd line and the definition of the target download in the 6th line.
By having a look at the definition of the function Download in include/download.mk:
define Download
  $(eval $(Download/Defaults))
  $(eval $(Download/$(1)))
  $(foreach FIELD,URL FILE $(Validate/$(call dl_method,$(URL),$(PROTO))),
  ifeq ($($(FIELD)),)
    $$(error Download/$(1) is missing the $(FIELD) field.)
  endif
)

$(foreach dep,$(DOWNLOAD_RDEP),
$(dep): $(DL_DIR)/$(FILE)
)
download: $(DL_DIR)/$(FILE)

I see that the download target is redefined.
What i know is that using call will expand the function, so how this could work?

A: If a target is specified without a recipe, it's simply adding a dependency to the target.   You're allowed as many of these as you want.   So the following is valid:
foo: dep1 dep2

foo: dep3
    recipe1

In which case, if dep1, dep2, or dep3 are rebuilt, then recipe1 is run.  But this is not:
foo:
    recipe1

foo:
    recipe2

At this point make wouldn't know which recipe to run, and/or in which order, so Make complains.  (note that you can have multiple definitions for pattern rules, in which case make chooses the first one that matches, but that's not allowed with static rules)

No Fenders -Formula 1, IndyCar and A Whole lot more..: Jorda's signing Set-back for Female Racers?
One Internetz website's headline says it all, proclaiming: Lotus makes a Mockery of Junior Formula... In regards to the recent news that Spanish female racer Carmen Jorda, who had a less than stellar half season's outing in Indy Lights, not to mention pretty dismal results over three seasons in GP3, has just been announced as Lotus F1 Team's Development Driver for 2015.
As the story points out, this isn't to say female racer's are bad or not deserving of consideration, let alone Bonafied racing seats in all disciplines of motor racing, most notably Open Wheel Racing, which now will see "Symona-Symona" (De Silvestro) returning to Indy Cars this year in a competitive ride at Andretti Autosport for the season opener at St Pete. Along with Team Willy's Susie Wolff, who's a very accomplished driver and does a fine job as Williams F1's Test Driver; as they're just two of today's current example of leading Femme Fatales.
All Change on the Streets of Geneva?
"Carmen Jorda couldn't develop a roll of film let alone a hybrid F1 car."
"It's not April 1st yet".

Safe Haven Reminder
Guest Author - Rebecca Orczeck
Newborn babies have ended up in toilets three times in as many weeks, each with a radically different outcome.
An employee left the first baby for dead in a toilet in a nursing care facility. An eagle-eyed co-worker noticed that something was amiss and alerted the authorities. While she waited for help to arrive, the unidentified nurse resuscitated the baby, who is now doing well and expected to make a full recovery. They have named her Baby Valentine, because her birthday fell on the holiday.
The second baby was born prematurely to a woman on a moving train in India. The baby girl slipped through the hole in the bottom of the toilet and fell onto the tracks below. The baby's mother, who had lost consciousness, awoke two hours later and told train officials what had happened. Railway workers radioed back to area train stations to alert the public to be on the lookout for the baby. The baby girl was found shortly after that, completely uninjured. She is in intensive care because of her premature birth.
The third baby, a newborn boy, was found dead in a middle school toilet in South Africa. A worker notified authorities and summoned medical help after he heard strange noises in the school's pit toilet. By the time help arrived, it was too late and the boy had died. Police estimated the baby had survived for several hours after being dumped into the pit. The mother is still at large.
I want to use this news as a reminder that there are safe haven laws throughout the United States and much of the world. If you have just given birth and feel that you can't cope with a child, please seek help at a fire station, police station, or medical center. They may ask you to fill out minor paperwork so you can claim your baby later if you change your mind. They will accept your child and get him the medical attention he needs, and you will not be arrested or harassed.
Seek help and save your child's life.

Facebook Hack Sees 30 Million User Accounts Compromised
After an initial Facebook revelation that claimed 50 million user accounts had been affected by a breach, the social media giant is now stating that 30 million user accounts actually had their access tokens stolen.
Access tokens, or digital keys, allows access to an account without the need for credentials in passwords – enabling anyone with possession of the tokens to compromise user accounts.
In a blog post on Friday, Facebook vice president of product management Guy Rosen disclosed further details about the infamous hack that first came to light in late September.
Curiously, the attackers used "an automated technique" from a handful of accounts already under their control to target connected accounts of the victims' friends. Spreading from account to account, they stole access tokens of their subsequent friends, and friends of friends, snowballing to total nearly 400,000 people.
Alarmingly, that attack spread quickly, with Rosen stating:
The attackers used a portion of these 400,000 people's lists of friends to steal access tokens for about 30 million people.
Of the 30 million users, half of them have had their names and contact details exposed, including phone numbers, emails or both. A further 14 million people have had a number of other identifiable and personal information.
The Facebook executive wrote:
For 14 million people, the attackers accessed the same two sets of information, as well as other details people had on their profiles. This included username, gender, locale/language, relationship status, religion, hometown, self-reported current city, birthdate, device types used to access Facebook, education, work, the last 10 places they checked into or were tagged in, website, people or Pages they follow, and the 15 most recent searches.
Facebook says it will send "customized messages" for those affected by the attack, with suggestions to take precautionary measures of protection from suspicious emails, texts and calls.


For this months screening we are extremely lucky to have access to two prints of films by Gregory J. Markopoulos -the longer duration of Twice a Man, in which the filmmaker pushes his vision of an entirely new narrative cinematic form, followed by Bliss, a six minute film portraying with typical Markopoulos restrictiveness, an interior of an 18th century Byzantine Church on Hydra in Greece.
An American born of Greek decent, Markopoulos' story is often told through his early involvement in the New American Cinema movement and subsequent departure and withdrawal to Europe in the early 70's along with his partner, the filmmaker Robert Beavers. Following years of working under difficult conditions and almost constant travel, Markopoulos and Beavers both continued to make and exhibit their films on the go, finding temporary bases between Greece and Switzerland for the most part.
During the 80's Markopoulos' conception of his cinema moved gradually towards the idea of The Temenos - a singular dedicated site in the mountains of Arcadia, near the village of his fathers family, where his and Beavers' films would be shown on certain occasions, to a select few. Markopoulos' continued to work towards the monumental vision of his film Eniaios, an 80-hour epic consisting of re-edited, highly deconstructed versions of his entire filmic output, to be shown at the Temenos site as collected "cycles" of material.
To look at these two earlier works is a rare chance to look back at how the films were originally completed in the 1960's - offering a glimpse of the methodology and forms which were to become dominant (at the same time more open in meaning) for Markopoulos later on. Twice a Man is an example of Markopoulos' decisive treatment of film form, through its sudden cuts between images both predicting and looking back within the traditional narrative, treating the notion of a classic Greek drama as both an opportunity for an abstract re-telling and open associative field of evocative imagery and sound.
US 1963, 16mm, color, 49 min.
Based on Markopoulos's modernist reworking of the myth of Hippolytus, in which a chaste youth rejects the incestuous advances of his mother, Phaedre, and is saved from death by a caring physician, Twice a Man was filmed by Markopoulos in and around New York. For Markopoulos, this short feature represented his most elaborate attempt to date to create "a new narrative form through the fusion of the classic montage technique with a more abstract system." The film opens with an extended passage of black leader and the sound of falling rain before plunging into a dazzlingly complex array of interwoven single frames and clusters of images to elaborate a tale of artistic rebirth.
Greece 1967, 16mm, color, 6 min.
The first film made by Markopoulos after moving to Europe, Bliss was shot over the course of two days using only available light to create a lyrical study of the interior of the Church of St. John on the island of Hydra.
Much of the recent revival in screenings of original Markopoulos films has been due to the efforts of The Visible Press publication of Markopoulos' writings as well as extensive touring programs organised internationally to accompany the book.

Top rigging, dismantling and demolition contractors like R. Baker & Son rely on the extensive knowledge, skill, and experience of riggers and millwrights. So what, exactly, are millwrights and riggers, and what do they do?
A millwright is a tradesperson who installs, maintains and repairs stationary industrial machinery and mechanical equipment by interpreting blueprints and schematics, constructing foundations, performing layouts, and assembling parts to perfect working order. Millwrights must possess a combination of skills and knowledge that includes steel fabrication, welding, machining, electronics, and fluid mechanics. They are trained through apprenticeship programs that combine classroom education with on-the-job training. Most apprenticeships last four years and may include an Associate degree.
A journeyman rigger is a tradesperson who specializes in lifting, moving, and placing extremely large or heavy loads, machinery, and objects using specialized equipment. Riggers are responsible for staging loads and determining their sizes and weights; building or assembling jibs, derricks, cranes, booms, and other components; setting up rigging gear, cables, pulleys, and other tackle; erecting structural steel and concrete panels, etc.; and maintaining rigging equipment. Rigging is learned through apprenticeship.


Malta – 13th April 2010 – Minister of Finance, Economy and Investment, Tonio Fenech, and Bahrain's Minister of Finance, Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed Al Khalifa, have signed a double taxation agreement (DTA) between Malta and Bahrain.
The DTA is designed to eliminate the double payment of taxes, once in each country, on income earned by residents of one country within the other country. It applies to all taxes on income; not only, for example, income from employment, but also capital gains from property sales.

Tanner Hendon Tanner Hendon is an Atlanta native musician, producer, and owner and founder of Atlanta based record label – Madison Records. From an early age, Tanner was drawn to music. After teaching himself to play drums, bass, guitar, and keys, he began to play with artists in the Atlanta music scene, as well as record original music in his home studio. He later formed his own band in which he played drums, and by the time he was 17 he had toured the country several times over, opening for acts such as Velvet Revolver, Tantric, Rehab, and more. In 2011, he acquired a studio in Chamblee, GA formerly known as Exocet Studios. Around that same time, the world famous Southern Tracks Studios, located in Atlanta was closing down. After a world wide hunt for a mixing console, Tanner ended up buying the SSL console from Southern Tracks on which super producer Brendan O'Brien recorded so many famous albums (Stone Temple Pilots, Pearl Jam, Bruce Springsteen, Train, and many more). With the new studio complete, Tanner began to produce artists which eventually led to launching his label – Madison Records. Madison Records has a very diverse roster of artists including Atlanta's own Chelsea Shag, as well as Tony Lewis from the famous 80s group The Outfield, who had their mega-hit "Your Love". In addition to producing and running the label, Tanner continues to tour and play live shows with his band Like Machines, as well as filling in on drums for artists such as Paul Rodgers (Bad Company), Night Ranger, Magnets & Ghosts, Collective Soul, and more. Tanner and his family are also part owners of one of Atlanta's staple venues Smith's Olde Bar, and are strong supporters of The Recording Academy and Georgia Music Partners.

Felisha Booker, Founder, Dynamic Producer
Felisha Booker has spent her life making the moves to reserve herself a space among the entertainment industry's biggest and best. Just hitting her mid-thirties, Felisha is most proud of her flagship business Dynamic Producer. She's a creative thinker and innovator, and realizes that to win, fearlessness must accompany business savvy. Her interest in the music industry was born during her time as an A&R representative at UNEM Entertainment Group – an independent record label based in her native Cleveland, OH. Late nights in the studio working nest to budding producers birthed a desire to create an outlet for aspiring producers with little or no chance of being discovered, which later became Dynamic Producer. Leaving odd jobs and monotony behind, Felisha moved to New York City to chase after what some called an impossible dream of a Midwestern belle with little experience.
In New York, Booker learned that getting a job in the music industry can be difficult for a small-time hopeful with no "inside" connections. With only forty dollars, Felisha knew she would be unable to maneuver and network with her limited funds. She began temping by day to support the intense networking at night to kick down the doors. She landed a position at Elektra Entertainment Group in 2001 and became intrigued with how entrepreneurship could enable her to do business her way. Felisha left her job and began attending meetings and industry seminars, scoring the connections that would launch Dynamic Producer, followed by Dynamic Songwriter.
After a decade of success, Booker overhauled the old membership program completely. The new vision, Dynamic Producer Professional & Dynamic Songwriter Professional, launched in 2012 and began offering members one-on-one counseling from a dedicated team of on-call music business, production, songwriting and mixing advisers. The organization also offers music submission opportunities, online showcases and an annual conference featuring known and established producers, songwriters and executives. Booker and the organization have received recognition from both industry professionals and organizations including SESAC, Peermusic and Allhiphop to name a few. Alumni from the organization have placed records with artists Mya, Chamillionaire, 50 Cent, Jay-Z, Beyonce and others.
Dynamic Producer & Dynamic Songwriter are just a fraction of the Booker Empire. Booker also oversees a boutique music licensing division. Within the music licensing sector, Dynamic has deals and/or has worked with Viacom Networks including MTV and VH1, Fox Sports Network and Firstcom. In November 2013, Booker launched Channel Dynamic, the online music industry network for emerging music makers. Channel Dynamic features interviews with working and established musicians, music producers, songwriters, engineers, executives and artists, sharing candid stories of their journey from the bottom to the top. From tips on how to make better music to advice on how to grow one's music career or business, Channel Dynamic is a one-stop for those looking to advance to the next level by learning from those who've come before them.
Jeff (Blacktracks) Blackwell, Rewind Factor, Music Adviser for Dynamic Producer
Producer / Songwriter Jeff (Blactracks) Blackwell had an idea to put together the area's top producers as one super team.

Audio Recording of NARIP Webinar: Registering Music For Profit & Protection, Part 2
For those who create, publish and invest in intellectual property such as songs, registration is the most important thing you can do to protect these assets. Registering with the US Copyright Office for example gives the registrant important legal recourse should a dispute or infringement occur.
Also of vital importance is affiliating and registering with a performing rights society (to enable collection of performance royalties) and with the Harry Fox Agency (to enable collection of mechanical royalties).
NARIP is pleased to present expert Megan Grosz in this 2-part series who will walk us through these processes including how to register, affiliate and collect. She will also detail the financial advantages of various affiliations as well as alternatives to using foreign sub publishers

U.S. Copyright Office, a part of the Library of Congress
A graduate of McNally Smith College of Music in St. Paul, MN with degrees in Music Business and Music Production, Megan made Los Angeles home in 2007. She was introduced to music publishing and mechanical licensing at CMH Records, researching copyright information and engaging with music publishers. This led to a position as assistant to percussionist Sheila E. and her then-manager, Lynn Mabry. Megan managed the office and provided support during performances, recording sessions, productions, and the 2007 Latin Grammys. She volunteered with their non-profit organization, Elevate Hope Foundation, which provides music therapy to children with a history of abuse. In 2008 Megan joined indie publisher Bug Music (now part of BMG Chrysalis) where she monitored the collection process from registration to royalties, and helped test and implement a proprietary income tracking system. In 2011, Megan became one of the first members of the TuneCore Publishing Administration team–with a hand in setting up one of the first publishing administration services available to all creators. Establishing direct affiliations with international performance and mechanical rights societies and working with executives and web developers at TuneCore and programmers at Counterpoint Systems, Megan helped glue these pieces together. The result was a more artist-friendly customer experience, translating into a custom fit registration and royalty system. Moving on to Reach Music in 2012, Megan served as Manager of Copyright Administration. She set up CWR (common works registration) protocol with all US societies, in addition to APRA, CMRRA/SOCAN, GEMA, SACEM, STIM and PRS/ICE. As a consultant, Megan has worked with companies and creative individuals–producers, labels, artists and music libraries. She provides copyright and PRO registration training, organization and research, catalog management and other publishing services. A musician herself, Megan's current creative focus is as vocalist and lyricist of dance and disco duo, Flower and the Snake. She is also works with creatives as a Reiki Master and is passionate about vegan cooking.

Audio Recording of NARIP Webinar No Booker, No Bouncer, No Bartender: How Shannon Curtis Made $25K on a 2-Month House Concert Tour (and how YOU can too)
In 2011 Shannon Curtis got a Facebook message from a fan in San Diego inviting her to play there and offering her living room as a venue. The fan said she'd invite friends to come and ask them for donations to support the event.
This turned into one of the best and most rewarding shows Shannon ever played.
Fast forward: Shannon's 2-month house concert tour in 2013 made over $25,000. She found her house concert tours surpassing club shows in every way: more fun, more profitable and more new fans.
We've invited Shannon to share her experience and How-To because her strategy can be applied to so many. She's written a book detailing her experience which we at NARIP purchased and highly recommend.

Alan Beck, President, Pacific Concert Group
Alan Beck has revived the R&B Oldies music genre that was forgotten and almost buried ten years ago. His formula for success can be applied to any niche market.
Sixteen years ago, disheartened because his favorite acts no longer toured and were ignored by the mainstream, Alan made inquiries and found out that his idols from the 70s would love to be back in the limelight and perform again. So he hooked it up. And the rest is history.
Today, Beck has not only a thriving concert promotion company producing over 40 sold-out shows a year at mid-sized venues and arenas throughout the southwest, he also has a record company (ITP Records), an artist management company (through which he manages rising star Sofia Maria), merchandise company and music publishing arm. He also produces a weekly radio program called The Underground Oldies Show, a 4-hour program based out of Phoenix on Mega 104.4 Arizona's Old School, heard every Sunday from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. and on the Internet at www.itprecords.com on which many ITP recording artists are featured. Naturally, he also promotes Pacific Concert Group shows.
Formed in 1992, the Pacific Concert Group, booked shows with legendary urban / R&B soul groups and artists who were being ignored by the mainstream. At their shows, Beck saw a clear opportunity to record new material and re-record classics with these artists and formed ITP Records in 1996 to fill this need. Today ITP's roster includes nationally charted R&B legends such as Bloodstone, GQ, Barbara Lynn, Sly Slick and Wicked, M.C. BLVD, The Superbs, Barbara Lewis, Gene Chandler, Barbara Mason, The Escorts, The Delegation, Carl Carlton, Deniece Williams and others including the talented and rising star Sophia Maria (www.sophiamaria.com) whom Beck manages. ITP has also leased and licensed rare musical tracks by such influential and historic artists as Smokey Robinson, The Manhattans, Billy Stewart, The Whispers, The Temptations, Lenny Williams, War, Eddie Holman and others. Beck has established publishing divisions augmenting his recording endeavors. Hymie Gropo is the BMI publishing company, and an ASCAP affiliation, Harold Clark Music, both a nod to Beck's favorite TV series, "Get Smart." He also produces a weekly radio program called The Underground Oldies Show, a 4-hour program based out of Phoenix on Mega 104.4 Arizona's Old School, heard every Sunday from 5:00 to 9:00 p.m. and on the Internet at www.itprecords.com on which many ITP recording artists are featured. Naturally, he also promotes Pacific Concert Group shows.

When the founders opened Abuelo's, their goal was simple: to offer made-from-scratch Mexican cuisine in an environment where guests could come together to enjoy the flavors and culture of Mexico. The restaurant is open and airy with indoor and outdoor seating, and it has been called the "Number One Mexican Restaurant in America" since 2006 by a leading consumer rating magazine. On the menu, guests find meals such as chile relleno, grande burritos, and shredded beef enchiladas.
Nestled downtown, The Perch is appropriately named as it's home to more than fifty rescue tropical birds. The garden patio is complete with mature trees, colorful flowers, and twinkling lights, and it's where guests can enjoy friendly service and meals that pair well with the beers on tap. Choices include duck bacon burgers, beer battered fish and chips, and brick oven tamales.
Anthony Canecchia established the SanTan Brewing Company in 2007 as he wanted to pair craft food with craft beer. It's one of the top local food and beer destinations in the Phoenix metropolitan area, and in 2016, the brewmasters medaled at the World Beer Cup. The brewing company offers attentive service, and the patio is complete with potted plants, lanterns and plenty of seating. The meals include chipotle bacon cheeseburgers, pork enchiladas, and short rib tacos, all of which pair well with beers such as Devil's Ale and SunSpot Gold.
These are just a few of the restaurants near our apartments in Chandler. If you are looking for a place to call home, please contact us to arrange a tour where we can show you our amenities firsthand.

Locals shed light on National Human Trafficking…

Locals shed light on National Human Trafficking Awareness Day
Higashi, Stine keep fighting the good fight
Art Stine
By Richard Freedman | rfreedman@timesheraldonline.com | Vallejo Times Herald
PUBLISHED: January 11, 2021 at 3:33 p.m. | UPDATED: January 11, 2021 at 4:24 p.m.
Les Higashi is a 25-year Benicia resident. He's been with the Contra Costa County-based nonprofit Pillars of Hope for seven years.
However, an organization's headquarters or volunteer's home means nothing when it comes to saving a victim of human trafficking, Higashi said.
"We're pretty much concerned with the Bay Area, the state, and whoever we can help," Higashi said. "You can't be regional about the problem."
January is National Human Trafficking Awareness Month and Monday is Human Trafficking Awareness Day.
It's all about education, Higashi said, adding that nothing is more gratifying than a success story. Pillars of Hope recently supported a young woman from Romania who was trafficked.
"She now has a full-time job and she's thriving," Higashi said. "In fact, a family in Vallejo donated a car for her so she could go back and forth to work. It's one of those things where the community became part of the solution."
It was 2010 when Higashi attended a church conference when one of the speakers asked, "If you had a daughter that was being trafficked, wouldn't you do everything you could to find her?"
"Even though I don't have daughters — I have sons — I know that yes, I would do anything to find her," said Higashi. "As a father, I got that message."
Higashi became involved in an international organization and, seven years ago, joined Pillars of Hope.
"I knew there was a local problem and I wanted to help," he said.
Unfortunately, said Higashi, because of the internet "there aren't borders to this anymore. They (the suspects) come from all parts of society; rich, poor. You can sit at your computer and buy an 8-year-old girl in the Philippines."
COVID-19 hasn't made combating human trafficking any easier, said Solano County Supervisor Erin Hannigan.
"It's very challenging to gain attention on this subject during the pandemic," Hannigan said. "Sexual exploitation of children can be at the hands of relatives, strangers met on social media. Without the eyes of mandated reporters — teachers, coaches, and other trusted adults — on our children because of the stay-at-home order, we are missing opportunities to provide support and removal to a safer environment."
Hannigan is a member of the CSEC (Child Sexual Exploitation Committee) — a multi-jurisdictional organization made up of law enforcement from each city, Health and Social Service workers/DA office/sheriff and non-profit providers.
"There are ongoing efforts with CSEC to identify children/young adults who are exploited and their perpetrators to bring the children to safety and prosecute their abusers," Hannigan said. "I have been active in the committee as well as bringing awareness to human trafficking, what it is, how a person/child can become a victim, empowering adults to identify the signs of trafficking in the school age children in their lives and ways of reporting and rescuing victims."
The "average person" can take action in the fight against human trafficking, Hannigan said.
"Know the signs of human trafficking," she said. "Inappropriate relationships with older youth/friends, new things like nails, hairdos, clothing maybe a vehicle that the responsible adult in the family did not pay for, can all be indicators that the child in your life is being groomed or already in the 'business'."
"What was eye opening for me was that human trafficking isn't just people who are taken from their families and trafficked in cities far away," Hannigan continued. "Recruitment can occur at school, by peers, not just stranger danger. Talk to the children in your lives about inappropriate behaviors that might indicate they are at risk. Be their rock and place of safety and security. Let the children in your life know that they are loved and valued."
Though girls are the prevalent victims, many boys fall prey to traffickers, Higashi said.
"A lot of it is about survival," he said. "It's more of a complicated situation. Usually, they're runaways."
Keeping the subject in front of local elected officials helps, Higashi said.
"Drop them a line or email them. The people's voice is important," he said. "And attend awareness events that are happening in your community."
When something looks questionable, don't sit idly by, Higashi said.
"If you suspect something or see something, do something," Higashi said. "Educate yourself and be aware of the signs of trafficking."
Art Stine, another Benicia resident, takes another approach in his role with the American Red Cross "and as an individual," he said.
"I talk to men and how they need to respect women," Stine said. "That they need to think about what they're doing and think about the words they use."
Stine's focus "is letting men know this (trafficking) will go away when men start treating women with dignity and respect."
Human trafficking — from sex trafficking to labor trafficking — "is so prevalent," Stine continued. "The pandemic has propagated it even more."
It's frustrating "when nobody seems to recognize" trafficking happening, Stine said. "It's a problem when there's lack of identifying it."
It's a red flag "even if someone is joking about 'buying' someone," Stine said.
Though laws against human trafficking have become tougher in the last 10 years, it'll never be enough to prevent human trafficking, Higashi said.
"I belong to another organization and we do what we consider 'cyber patrol.' We intercept calls from men trying to buy women," Higashi. "You'll never have a shortage of calls. There's such a strong draw. And though penalties are stronger, the percentage of 'johns' and 'pimps' caught and prosecuted is still on the low side."
To report any suspected circumstance, call the human trafficking national hotline, 1-888-373-7888.

This is episode five from season two of American Songster Radio.
Bass Reeves was born into slavery in 1838 in the "Texarkana" region of the South. Legend has it that when he became a young man, the plantation master challenged him to a game of poker, with his freedom as collateral. Reeves discovered that the master had been cheating and confronted him, knocking him unconscious. Reeves was forced to flee the planation and, during the time he spent as an outlaw, befriended and lived amongst the Cherokee Nation, learned their language, and became an expert at mapping out the Indian Territory.
In 1875, he was recruited by the "Hanging Judge" Isaac C. Parker to become a Deputy U.S. Marshal, the first African-American west of the Mississippi to hold that position. He was known as an expert rider, marksman, and master of homemade disguises. Bass Reeves scoured the Indian Territory for rustlers, rogues, and bootleggers, bringing hundreds of criminals to justice. Bass later settled down in the town of Muskogee, Oklahoma, with his wife and family. He served as a police constable until his death in 1910, around the age of 70.
The facts and folklore around Bass Reeves are extraordinary, and his legacy remains as the likely inspiration for the fictional character, the Lone Ranger. In this episode, Dom discusses the significance of Bass Reeves and the fictions his life inspired. He also shares a live version of his song about Bass Reeves, "He's a Lone Ranger."
