Wonder Woman #44, #600, and #601 Comic Book Reviews
Comic book reviews for DC Comics' Wonder Woman #44 by Gail Simone, Wonder Woman #600 by Gail Simone, Amanda Conner, Louise Simonson, Geoff Johns, and J. Michael Straczynski, and Wonder Woman #601 by J. Michael Straczynski
Wonder Woman #44 by Gail Simone
What I like most about this comic is the ending. I love the Amazons coming to the aid of Wonder Woman. I love Hippolyta riding in on her horse, because who better to reconcile the two branches of the family than the matriarch herself. This is what I'll miss about Simone's run. Actually, I already miss her.
I found Theana's backstory tragic, but not moving in the way I think it was supposed to be. I also found her and Wonder Woman's fight a little anti-climatic. I figured Diana would use her rope, and Zusen turning sides was certainly foreshadowed even before they met Wonder Woman. Astarte killing her own daughter also didn't surprise me. Simone might've tried to rehabilitate Theana if she had more issues.
Steve flying again was great. Though I have to admit that I was sad Etta only got two panels of fighting. I love Achilles riding on Mysia, as always.
I loved seeing the entirety of Washington DC celebrating the Amazons helping save the city. It seemed so classic.
Wonder Woman #600
Welcome to a new era of Wonder Woman. Her origin/timeline's being changed, along with her costume. (Though thankfully something made people start talking about her again. I just wish it was for something better.) Like most anthology-type comics, this is hit-or-miss.
I do think one of my favorite parts is Lynda Carter's introduction. I love what she says about Wonder Woman, and I feel like those who keep saying, "Who's Wonder Woman?" need to read it.
Like the comic itself, the variety of pin-ups are also hit-or-miss. My favorites were Adam Hughes', mostly due to his homage to Wonder Woman being written for young girls, and George Perez's, as he does a wonderful tribute to Wonder Woman's history. (Perez's pin-up is way better than his cover.) The two pin-ups I least liked were the ones by Nicola Scott and Jock. Mostly because I know both artists can do better. Scott's drawn better Wonder Woman pin-ups in the past, and Jock is a way better artist than this Wonder Woman, who looks more like a bad drag queen. The rest by Ivan Reis, Guillem March, Greg Horn, Francis Manapul, and Shane Davis were rather mediocre. While yes, DC commissioned a few of their big hitters, I feel like if they really wanted to relaunch Wonder Women, they'd have put in all big-hitters and made them do a wonderful job.
Valedictorian by Gail Simone
The major criticisms of this story was that Simone goes over-the-top with others' adoration of Wonder Woman. But for me, this works if she's supposed to be part of the Trinity. Characters all the time fawn over Superman and Batman. I think it's great that Wonder Woman gets some recognition in the same way. Even Batwoman's like "wow."
As specifically a fan of women characters in the DC Universe, this is the first (non-Birds of Prey) major team-up that I could identify almost every character in it. The alien sirens attracting only men gave Simone a good excuse for the all-woman heroics. I love Wonder Woman as the general; maybe general isn't the correct term, highly respected leader is probably better.
While I haven't read the '80s Wonder Woman comics, I did think it was touching that Diana took the time out to go to a graduation for someone in her life.
Fuzzy Logic by Amanda Conner
This team-up works so wonderfully. I want Conner to write and draw both Power Girl and Wonder Woman every single month. This is by far the best story in Wonder Woman #600.
It's also lovely to see Cassandra Cain show up to help. They are definitely correct that Chang Tsu is rather gross. Makes a giant mess with the giant hole in the ground. This story is masterful because it works well with the size limit. We don't need to see the entire battle against Chang Tsu.
I love the second part where Kara asks Diana for advice about Stinky. We have a very confident Power Girl, who's running a business, superheroing, and hanging out with friends. But she can't figure out why Stinky's so upset. I love Wonder Woman using her so often not used power to talk with animals.
My favorite part is:
Power Girl: "I hope [Stinky] still loves me."
Wonder Woman: "He does."
Awe. I'm such a sucker for stories about kittens. And Power Girl. And Wonder Woman. And stories and art by Amanda Conner.
Fire Power by Louise Simonson
There are aspects of this story that I really liked and aspects that didn't quite sit right with me. Simonson is a very talented writer, and it's clear that she loves these characters. It's also clear that she loves the story she's telling.
Simonson's strongest point is the battle scene itself. She masterfully scripts the action scenes. Both Superman and Wonder Woman are doing exactly what they need to be, and they have an excellent silent partnership on defeating their enemy.
What I didn't like so much was Diana's dialog. It seemed stilted. Perhaps a little too formal, which many writers do struggle with. I also didn't care for how much of this story focused on Superman. It felt just enough out of balance to bother me. This is Wonder Woman #600 after all, and the stories are short ones.
The Sensational Wonder Woman by Geoff Johns
I find it fascinating that Johns takes on the task of starting out Wonder Woman's newest revamp or reset button. Since becoming co-creative lead at DC, he's certainly put his finger in a lot of pies. Though I have to say that given his utter love of the Silver Age and the regression of the DC universe back to all those heroes, I don't think Wonder Woman will stay in this new continuity for long.
Random mystical portal to alternative universes were never my thing. Too hand-wavy mumbo-jumbo.
But at the same time, I feel like Johns doesn't know who Wonder Woman is. I don't connect with what he's trying to tell me about Diana, and I'm not fond of Kolins' art, particularly Diana's face.
Couture Shock by J. Michael Straczynski
Instead of launching into Wonder Woman's costume change right now, I'll wait until the end of review as the end of #600 is where Jim Lee's sketch and explanation lives. Though I find it interesting that this story's called "Couture Shock." Couture, of course, meaning designer, one-of-kind clothing. Which pretty much says to me that Wonder Woman's costume, not her new situation, should be the biggest shock of all in this story. And that makes me sad. That also makes me feel okay with giving this story only two She-Hulks.
The biggest shock should be the plot. The biggest shock should be Diana drastically de-aging and being put in some alternative universe. Being adopted in America instead of raised by her people, the Amazons. Diana being confused. The biggest shock shouldn't be that she's no longer fighting in her bathing suit.
I want to know what makes Straczynski's story unique. What makes it a Diana Story. What makes it a couture story. This is not it. I've heard this tale before. Heck, other writers have made Diana find herself, and Straczynski himself is currently doing this with Superman and already did it with Thor.
Also if it turns out that Maxwell Lord's the bad man pictured who's sent Diana here, I'm going to call shenanigans. Also repeat that I called it here first.
Jim Lee's New Costume
Okay now let's talk about the outfit change. I'm so glad Wonder Woman finally has pants. I don't think they're the best choice of pants for her outfit. In perspective, it's good to know that Golden Age Wonder Woman started off in culottes, which are shorts made to look like a skirt. Yes, she started her journey wearing long shorts and then was put into a bikini, so perhaps the pants aren't as revolutionary as they seem. Plus, it seems like Lee was under time pressure and just filled in some pants since there's no discerning detail on them at all.
I really like the corset. I think it's the only piece that really calls to her origins. The Amazons put Diana into an American flag costume because they believed that the greatest way to honor the United States was to wear their colors. I like the top details and the belting. Though I'm kind of confused about how her lasso hangs on. That said, this is by far my favorite part of the new outfit.
The boots suffer from any lack of definition as well. They bleed right into the pants. It's like Lee got bored. I'm glad she's wearing flats though.
I miss the manacles. But perhaps because I like their Golden Age origin, and that's the one I like better. I also miss her earrings and I don't like what Lee's done with her crown. Kramer does a lot better in the story. The choker came straight out of my closet circa 1995. Bad move there.
Speaking of 1995, the jacket is so '90s. It really dates what Lee thinks is young. It really dates his designs. The jacket's almost exactly like what he did with Rogue back in the days of the X-Men.
Wonder Woman #601 by J. Michael Straczynski
I don't hate this tile. I don't hate Straczynski's writing. I'm just not sold that Straczynski can do a better job with Wonder Woman than Gail Simone did. (Or Greg Rucka, for that matter.)
As a comic book, Wonder Woman #601 was entertaining. It was well-paced and pretty well-written. I'm just not sure if it was a good Wonder Woman story.
Kramer's art does a lot to carry the story and express it. I enjoyed his art enough that the things I find distasteful (style and aesthetic-wise) about Wonder Woman's new costume didn't bother me. (Or maybe I've excepted that this is the way it's going to be for a while.) The one place Kramer did lose me was during the fighting on Paradise Island. It felt rather cluttered compared to the rest of his more sparse layouts.
The one part I hated about this story was the clown. I'm so freaking scared of them and do not want.
The one part I was disappointed by is the killing of Hippolyta. Can we just stop doing it? I don't know what layer being an orphan adds to Wonder Woman's personality.
I did really like Straczynski's explanation of why this Diana can't fly and how she will be able to in the future.

Partnership (shutafut, שותפות) – created by default, even without registration, when two or more persons run a business together for profit. Personal liability of partners is not limited, unless they are limited partners of a limited partnership. Partnerships are governed by the Partnerships Ordinance [New Form], 5735-1975 (פקודת השותפויות [נוסח חדש], תשל"ה-1975).
When beginning a business, you must decide what form of business entity to establish. Your form of business determines which income tax return form you have to file. The most common forms of business are the sole proprietorship, partnership, corporation, and S corporation. A Limited Liability Company (LLC) is a business structure allowed by state statute. Legal and tax considerations enter into selecting a business structure.
Doing Business As: denotes a business name used by a person or entity that is different from the person's or entity's true name. DBAs are not separate entities and do not shield the person or entity who uses the DBA as a business name from liability for debts or lawsuits. Filing requirements vary and are not permitted for some types of businesses or professional practices. See also Delaware corporation, Delaware statutory trust, Nevada corporation, and Massachusetts business trust.
Sociedad Anónima Abierta (S.A.A.): To qualify to register as an S.A.A., a company must meet one or more conditions laid down in Article 249 of Peru's General Corporation Law. Those conditions state there must be a primary public offering of shares or convertible bonds in stocks, which are held by more than 750 shareholders, more than 35% of its capital belonging to 175 shareholders, or that all shareholders entitled to vote approve the adjustment to the scheme. The S.A.A. is then audited by the Comisión Nacional Supervisora de Empresas y Valores (CONASEV).[50]

For federal tax purposes, the Internal Revenue Service has separate entity classification rules. Under the tax rules, an entity may be classified as a corporation, a partnership, a cooperative or a disregarded entity. A corporation may be taxed as either a C corporation or elect to be treated as a Subchapter S corporation. A disregarded entity has one owner (or a married couple as owner) that is not recognized for tax purposes as an entity separate from its owner. Types of disregarded entities include single-member LLCs; qualified sub-chapter S subsidiaries and qualified real estate investment trust subsidiaries. A disregarded entity's transparent tax status does not affect its status under state law. For example, for federal tax purposes, a sole-member LLC (SMLLC) is disregarded, so that all its assets and liabilities are treated as owned by its single member. But under state law, an SMLLC can contract in its own name and its owner is generally not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the entity.[61] To be recognized as a Cooperative for tax purposes Cooperatives must follow certain rules under Sub Chapter T of the Internal Revenue Code.[62]
Cooperative (aguda shitufit, אגודה שיתופית) – entity which may pursue profit, but with certain legal properties meant to facilitate greater participation by each shareholder, or member, in the entity's affairs. Shareholders usually have an additional relationship with the cooperative, such as employees or consumers. This type of entity is found mainly in agriculture (a kibbutz or moshav is often a cooperative), transportation, or certain types of marketing operations associated with agricultural products. Cooperatives are governed by the Cooperatives Ordinance (פקודת האגודות השיתופיות).
ห้างหุ้นส่วนจำกัด (name format ห้างหุ้นส่วน corporation name จำกัด): limited partnership There are two kinds of partnership: Limited partnership which has limited liability of the partnership, and unlimited partner which has unlimited liability to the third party for the partner. The unlimited partnership has the right to control the partnership. On the other hand, the limited partnership has no right to make decision in the partnership.
Unlike in many other Western countries, Canadian businesses generally only have one form of incorporation available. Unlimited liability corporations can be formed in Alberta "AULC", British Columbia "BCULC"[8] and Nova Scotia "NSULC". The aforementioned unlimited liability corporations are generally not used as operating business structures, but are instead used to create favorable tax positions for either Americans investing in Canada or vice versa.[9] For U.S. tax purposes the ULC is classified as a disregarded entity.

Lakers News: Despite LaVar Ball Creating Drama, Magic Johnson Doesn't Regret Drafting Lonzo Ball
Dann Gilbuena – Lakers Nation
Adam Silver Says League Will 'Continue To Look At' Ways To Change NBA Playoff Format
Harrison Faigen
When Magic Johnson decided that the Los Angeles Lakers would select Lonzo Ball with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2017 NBA Draft, even he probably didn't know just how many negative headlines LaVar Ball would create for the team.
The Big Baller Brand CEO and father of the Lakers most important player has fueled a media firestorm by doing everything from suggesting Luke Walton had lost the locker room to feuding with other NBA players and everything in between.
But now knowing all of that and with hindsight being 20/20, Johnson told Ramona Shelburne of ESPN that Lonzo is special enough to warrant all of the extra headlines and attention, and Johnson wouldn't change his decision:
Was it worth it to draft Lonzo Ball, knowing all the drama his father has brought with him?
Johnson said he has no regrets.
"No, not for one minute," he says. "He's everything we thought he would be and more. And I'm talking about Lonzo."
Lonzo won't win Rookie of the Year, but he has been phenomenal for a 20-year-old playing on a lottery team. The Lakers are 2.7 points per 100 possessions better with him on the court than they are when he sits.
That's the best mark for anyone on the team, and Ball is already good or average in basically every basketball skill other than shooting and appears to have as bright of a future in the NBA as just about any young player.
While the Lakers might be disappointed in the headaches LaVar has given them, basically any organization in the league would make that trade-off for such a promising potential star, and doubly so for one as marketable as Lonzo is.
The Lakers surely wish LaVar would create less drama for the organization to deal with, but so far Lonzo has been worth it. As long as he continues to improve, that will almost assuredly continue to be the case.

Q&A: Photographer Julia Sumpter and Her Dog Portrait Series
How one classically trained photojournalist is using dog portraiture to highlight the good in these dark times
Julia Sumpter
@graham
Field Mag's benevolent overlord, formerly of the PNW and now residing in NYC. We apologize in advance for his many mispellings.
https://www.fieldmag.com/articles/a-hound-dog-julia-sumpter-interview
*photography by Julia Sumpter
The bond between a dog and its owner is something so unique and pure it can be difficult to describe—a connection rivaled only by what can be found between two humans. Though even then we'd be willing to bet a great deal of folks would choose a pooch over another person as eternal companion should they find themselves stuck on a deserted island. Because dogs are good. Plain and simple. And so is Mother Nature.
Documenting this enduring relationship between dog, owner, and the great outdoors, is Seattle-based photographer Julia Sumpter, and her ongoing portrait series A Hound Dog. As a classically trained photojournalist and lifelong dog lover, Sumpter has a rare eye for capturing dogs in their most earnest moments of being.
As dog lovers ourselves, we felt immediately drawn to learn more about, and to share the project. It's not the most deep, or intense project by any means, but as Sumpter herself explains in the following exerpt from a recent phone conversation, A Hound Dog is about more than just pretty pictures of Good Dogs.
You're trained as a photojournalist, but now find yourself making dog portraits? Tells us about that.
I've been interested in hard news and classical newspaper and print photojournalism since I was a teenager—I got my first camera at 16. In journalism school, I would have completely scoffed at the idea of taking images of dogs, because the concept is such a fluff one (no pun intended). But now that I'm an adult and I've worked at and contributed to newspapers and magazines and online media, I think these images are just as important as anything else.
These dogs mean everything to their owners, and these dogs adore them back. It's nothing to be trivialized—love and positivity deserve a seat at the table in terms of media representation as much as conflict does. So, if I can use my training and skillset and profile loving relationships and things that make people smile, then I'm happy with that.
How did the project start?
The first time I shot for this project I had driven from Seattle to Cannon Beach, Oregon with the intent of just siting in the sand—I'm from Missouri, a woefully landlocked state, and had just moved to Seattle—and I got about two pages into my book before I realized there were just tons of dogs there, having the absolute time of their lives. Going after tennis balls, digging in the sand, chomping on sticks, eating beach grass—they were just so excited. So I started taking photos.
I didn't start out the day with the intent of photographing dogs but I made my best images still to this day because those dogs were just so happy. I got probably seven that are my most favorite images I've ever taken, on that first day.
Is there a specific feeling you try to capture in your portraits?
With each dog that I photograph there are typically a few frames of them running around like a maniac and then a couple of quieter moments when they, like, stop and sniff the air or hear something in the distance and just take in what's around them. And those are the moments I like most. In that moment they are completely present and engaged with nature. And that's something I really admire about dogs.
Even if I'm hiking or doing something outdoors I'm always distracted by something. It's something I never experience that purely myself, so I like to live vicariously through them. Ha.
"The country is a scary and disheartening place right now and it's important to find and appreciate the little things that are good."
How do you go about approaching strangers, and their dogs?
I try to be conscious of vibes, you know. When approaching a stranger—which is always anxiety inducing—I try to feel out the dogs willingness to participate and the owner's willingness to participate, because I require some level of patience from both parties. And if I sense that either party may not be up for it I thank them for their time then bounce after making two crappy frames. Haha. But usually I'll only shoot 10-15 frames per dog. I try to keep most interactions under five minutes.
At the end I'll ask the owner for their email address because I want to give them something in return for giving me something. Plus no one is going to care more about that image than the owner. When people are really really excited [to receive the resulting image] it makes me feel really great because I know that at least the image will be, like, their iPhone background for a week or something. Haha.
Every time I leave someone I've photographed I'm smiling, and they're smiling as well, because people love to talk about their dogs. People are always pretty happy to give five minutes of their time for someone to swoon over their dog.
What do you shoot with?
I shoot with a Canon 5D Mark II with a 50mm f/1.2 lens, which is really good, as long as they're being still. I'm not the most technically sound photographer but I think that my strength is that I relate well to dogs and can for the most part predict what they're gonna do.
I have an easier time understanding how to get a dog to look the direction I want than I do trying to get people to do what I want.
So, why does A Hound Dog matter?
The country is a scary and disheartening place to be right now and it's important to take an extra second to find and appreciate the little things that are good, and that can help you move forward through your day. You know, sometimes it can be hard to find positive motivation and you can feel like there isn't anything good in the world—especially in this political, societal, and cultural climate. And dogs are good. I'm never not happy after I've interacted with a dog.
The moment on the street when I make eye contact with a dog, smile at the dog, and the dog starts moving towards me, pulling its leash to get over to me—I'm never more complemented that I am in that moment.
[A Hound Dog] is a really rewarding personal project, because it gives me the positive ammunition to continue appreciating good things.

"Baritone Robert Sims, who made his Carnegie Hall debut in the Judy and Arthur Zankel Hall on Sunday afternoon, has made it his mission to keep alive the African American folk music tradition. As a performer, Sims displayed a warm, beautifully schooled lyric baritone voice, impeccable musicianship, attractive stage presence and fine interpretive skills. He knows how to meet the special stylistic requirements of this material. Sims gave us an afternoon to remember."
"Sims performed with intelligence, dramatic intensity, purity of tone, impeccable stage presence, warm resonance and voice quality, instantly reminiscent of the young William Warfield."
"Sims is an exceptional musician whose voice is brilliant, and he penetrates into the abyss of his lower register with a rich, luxuriant tone and soars into the heights of his high tones with ease. His projection of his florid passages is dexterously wonderful."
"Baritone Robert Sims made "Ol Man River" his own, no mean feat with this famous showstopper. By devoting close attention to the lyrics, rather than trying to plumb the song's sonorous depths, Sims captured a rippling forward movement. Sims may have pulled the long straw of the night with "Pick Yourself Up." As Michael Morgan reminded the audience, President Obama is fond of quoting the song's advice about dusting yourself off and starting all over again. With his face and voice aglow, Sims was unmistakably thrilled to perform what has become, 73 years after it was written for "Swing Time," a 2009 presidential theme song."
"Robert Sims definitely has the range and power that "Ol' Man River" requires…..the audience went wild over him."
"... Sims' swaggering A Woman is a Sometime Thing and jaunty I Got Plenty O' Nuttin showed plenty of vocal and interpretive power."
"Duke Ellington's My People ... exceptionally well sung by Robert Sims."


I woke up this morning and felt like I could breathe a little easier.
I felt a sense of goodness like I am in the right place, and that what happened yesterday in "being with my emotions" was what needed to happen.
I always talk to my therapist about "waiting for the day to be done this journey in healing". Waiting for the day that I come in maybe once a month to check in, or waiting for the day that I am on my own path knowing that I am fully healed and I am fully "restored".
There have been times that I would sit there and say "by the end of the year I want to be done therapy, I want my own path, I want to be healed and move onto the next chapter in my life, no matter where life takes me.
Yesterday, I actually listened within, and listened to my therapist when he said "we need to slow down and honor what is here".
I always want to keep going, and keep running to the next thing to get closer to my own path no matter how hard the works is. I am always thinking about the next step, even though the first is not finished. I get excited when I can move through things no matter how hard or how heart wrenching.
I want more than anything to be done this part of my journey. This is hard hard work. It's not easy showing up and doing all the healing work that I do. It can be painful, it can be frustrating, and it can be confusing at times. However I know deep within that this is where I need to be, that I am at the right place, and I cannot rush the process.
I cannot rush the healing. You can't pick the scab of a wound and expect it to heal quicker, and I am trying to see that and honor that – but when you have a day like yesterday, both honoring and hard, you wonder how you will have the energy to show up and work hard again.
I woke up this morning feeling lifted, but a little anticipated and anxious about what the day will bring.
One of the best things about this healing journey I have been on is being able to tell my therapist when I don't want to work. I remember a while back ago, I came into session and said, "I don't want to work today" and he said "OK let's not work, let's just talk about whatever it is you want to talk about, anything that makes you happy, your thoughts or about your boys, or about your church, or talk about God or the bible, – its' your place in this journey, whatever feels good for you and I want to hear about it".
I sometimes found that those moments are the most healing. I never had choices in my life before. I always did what everyone else told me to do. I never had moments where people cared about what I wanted, or wanted to hear anything that I wanted to talk about. In the work that I do in therapy, I can show up and say "I don't want to work", and it will be honored.
It's very rare and in between that I feel that way, because I always want to get to the next chapter of healing, and looking to find another foothold, but I know that I cannot rush this healing process as much as I want to sometimes. I have to sit and observe what I have been through before moving on. I need to reflect and honor, and breathe in the moment that I had yesterday.
I feel lifted and restored today. I feel I have more energy to move forward, but not today. Today when I show up, it will be another day I say "I don't feeling like working, let's talk".
I want to bask in the fact that I actually had a moment yesterday where emotions did not bring me fear, and that is a lot to honor. I need to sit with that for a while and talk about how GOOD it made me feel instead of running to the next wound.
All those years of holding the abuse is not going to go away in 5 years. I may want to be on my own path right now and be healed, but I know my time is coming. I can feel it, I can see the light to my path, and I can see my own path being laid out for me. I just need to take my time getting there by honoring what I am restoring.
Today I feel lifted and restored, and that is good enough for today. It's another part of the healing at a slower pace, and I am going to honor that.
So – later today I show up, and I will say "I don't want to do the work" and today I will talk about whatever it is I want to talk about, and that too shall be healing.
Next postthe sunspots . .
healing is a journey, not a destination to get to. That is what I tell all my clients. GOOD for you for slowing down and honoring what happened yesteday. That was a pretty huge leap you took yesterday. CELEBRATE it like your therapist did (get up and dance) – no shame in that.
I actually got a good laugh about that!


No matter where I live — Edinburgh, New York, Lyon — I crave the tastes of my homeland, North Carolina. Although there's no way of obtaining Cheerwine or hushpuppies over here, I know that if I can locate an Indian grocer, chances are good I'll be able to feed at least one of my cravings.
Most Indian grocery stores carry a variety of imported produce, from bitter gourd to fresh chilies, and nearly always okra. I'd been hunting around Edinburgh for weeks for a good Indian shop when lo and behold, my boss moved in right above one. I've been getting my okra (and chaat, and paratha) fix weekly ever since.
Try it with any grilled meat and some sliced ripe tomatoes. Or, if you can't control yourself like me, just eat it by hand like popcorn.
2. While the oil is getting nice and hot, slice your okra and wash in a colander. Dump the cornmeal and work with your hands until each piece is well coated.
4. When okra is golden brown, remove from pan and serve hot.
If you want to spice it up, try adding cayenne or chili powder to the cornmeal, or sprinkle on top as the okra cooks.
Okra so is abundant in the Philippines (we usually add it in stews though) and I have been looking for this fried okra recipe. Well, a recipe I know I can replicate anyways.
My pleasure! I never had stewed okra until I was an adult — I always thought I wouldn't like it, but I actually find it delicious! Fried is still my favorite though — takes all the stickiness out!


Paso Robles has been prized with the opening of Paix Sur Terre Winery. Owners Ryan and Nichole Pease are not new to the wine business. Ryan is the Winemaker for Grey Wolf Cellars. Until recently Nicole was the Operations Manager for McPrice Myers.
Their focused hard work has paid off! Reaping accolades prior to their opening, last December their 2015 100% Monastrella "The Golden Road", received a 95 from Wine Enthusiast. Named with a nod towards their own chosen path, and as with many of their labels a Grateful Dead tribute.
Paix Sur Terre is French for Peace on Earth. Trying to play off their last name (Pease), Ryan's Dad came up with the name for one of Ryan's college projects. But it didn't translate very well. Ryan then found Paix Sur Terre. They thought it was so great they immediately trademarked the name.
The artist is Jon Blythe, a childhood friend of Ryan's, and he creates a new piece of art for each wine each vintage. You can find his bio here: https://www.paixsurterrewines.com/Artist.
Their tasting room is located 5070 Vineyard Drive Paso Robles. They have a $20 tasting fee which is waived with the purchase of 2 bottles.
Tasting room hours Friday-Sunday: 10:00am – 4:00pm. Monday-Thursday: By Appointment. Call (805) 674-2661.
Owners Ryan & Nichole Pease. Making more than wonderful wines!

While recounting an excerpt from the convocation speech delivered by Sir Ashutosh Mookerjee, the legendary VC of Calcutta University "Those amongst you who have just been admitted to your degrees, will now enter into the great arena of the world. There you will walk into the shadows sometimes, and if you are worthy, just as often in the light. There you will feel the sting of defeat sometimes, and if you are strong, just as often in the elation of victory. But in whatever sphere your lot may be cast, whatever your hopes and fears, turn back to your Alma Mater with filial piety and attachment" – Dr. P G Rao, Vice Chancellor, USTM asserted that our university, though still in its infancy, wishes to create a strong Alumni connectivity and will always be with the students, both existing and former.
Sources from the university authority informed "we have resolved to confer honorary Doctor of Science to Prof. Mihir Kanti Chaudhuri, former Vice Chancellor, Tezpur University and honorary D.Litt to Dr. D D Lapang, former Chief Minister, Meghalaya and present member of the Advisory Committee to Meghalaya Govt. This is a token gesture of showing our reverence to both the scholar and the eminent politician ; Prof. Chaudhury has set an example to our next generation in the field of scientific research in chemistry, for his studies on the synthesis of dioxygen complexes and fluorine compounds of metals and non metals while Dr. D D Lapang, former Chief Minister of Meghalaya has laid immense contribution for the socio-economic development of North East.

A total number of 583 students which includes 518 students will receive post-graduate degree, 61 students will receive under-graduate degree while 4 scholars will be awarded Ph.D degree.


Born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, Chieko (sounds like Che-Ko) Delgado moved to Sanger in 1999. She brought with her to the small valley town a big love for all things artistic, and Sanger gives her endless inspiration: Sierras as its backdrop, peaceful pastures, farmland, and colorful blossoms make for her favorite subjects of landscapes and florals.
I recently caught up with her at Ampersand, a Fresno ice cream shop, hosting a Thursday night Art Hop event. The only artist on display there that night, Chieko had brought with her a variety of her work: giclées (high-end reproductions created in such a way as to be nearly indistinguishable from the original paintings), a file full of smaller art prints, stationary, mugs, a tray of unique jewelry, and hand-painted silk scarves. The latter, she told me, are painted with a special paint and hand-pressed to set the color. The scarf is then safely washable and beautifully wearable. Her rings, fashioned out of copper, have unique settings of freshwater pearl, tiger eye, bamboo coral (something I had never heard of), and mangazite.
Chieko began sketching and painting when she was young, so it seems only natural that she received her Bachelors of Fine Arts from Joshibi University of Art and Design in Tokyo. She mostly worked in oils then, but when she became a mom to daughters Saira and Aria, she found working with watercolors was the easiest to clean up after painting sessions.
Another cool aspect to taking continuing educational courses, Chieko met her husband Jesus of 20 plus years in an English class, despite the fact that she spoke mostly Japanese and Jesus mostly Spanish! The two were able to communicate in the best language of all: the universal language of love and their newly developing English! I wonder if Jesus ever imagined he would meet his future wife in an English class, move with her to Japan when she wanted to be with her ailing father, and living in Japan for seven years before they both returned to California to settle in Sanger.
Unique rings & necklace pieces!
I asked her what she would recommend to any new/young artist and she referenced a recently released Disney movie, Zootopia. In it is a song she loves and would encourage, "Try everything!" It seems as if Cheiko does and has!
hard to miss finesse in capturing a day at the rodeo!
She has been commissioned to do cartoons and portraits, providing for several years, cartoons to the Sanger Herald to accompany weekly, mostly political posts. She enters the Clovis Rodeo Art show in April and the Blossom Trail poster contest for the Fresno Fair. She does Santa's Bag Holiday Boutique in October and lots of other events in between. She and five other colleagues also show and sell their work at the Sanger Art Station downtown, and she is planning, the last two weeks in April, a multi-generational family event, showcasing both of her talented daughters' work, her own, and her mother's, who is a talented costume designer having created the girl's Halloween costumes over the years.

John was in exile on the island of Patmos. Despite his confinement on a small island, God allowed John's spirit to soar. John received spectacular visions of the risen Christ, the throne room of heaven, and Christ's return to make all things new. John received prophetic visions of a world that would be quite different from the one he knew. Why did John receive these revelations? Jesus wanted his followers to be encouraged during times of suffering and upheaval.
John's revelations paint a picture of the good news of the kingdom of God. The people of his day needed to know that the oppressive Roman government would not have the last word on history. Jesus has ushered in a kingdom that will never be overtaken. John was echoing Jesus' message-"The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news" (Mark 1:15).
John was undeterred from teaching about the Lord Jesus Christ. John woke up with Jesus on his mind. He shared his testimony with others about the grace, mercy, and peace that Jesus can bring to anyone. The churches were encouraged to be a living testimony of God's grace. Why? Because Jesus is coming soon.
Christians today hold on to that news-Jesus is coming soon! We believe this great expectation and hope!
Come, Lord Jesus-we are ready!

The passage of the Jews through the Red Sea - stained glass in the Communion Bar
"Communion Bar" was founded by Jose and Mel Raido - eccentric brothers from Spain. Playing with the convention, they managed to create a place with a unique character. Interior design deriving from religious motifs has been appreciated by critics. The bar stands out with the unique decor but also with fantastic musical events and excellent drinks. Definitely a must-see while visiting London.
Stained glass under the counter of the bar is 4.6 meters long and 0.75 meters high. Stained glass panel is mounted as a single unit without any division. Part of the stained glass is curved - made of small pieces bent with radius of 40 cm.
Stained glass windows were made in two stages. First stage was in 2007 when a cycle of "Angels & Gypsies" panels were executed in the restaurant. Three stained glass windows: "Angels and Gypsy Dances", "The Dancer", "The Gypsy Camp", fills external windows and welcomes the Guests. Fourth stained glass panel "campfire" hangs on the wall in the dining room (as a highlighted decorative picture).
Detailed photos of stained glass panels can be viewed by clicking on the map below:
In the second stage, in 2013, the newly developed "Communion Bar" in the basement of the building was filled with 15 illuminated stained-glass windows. Religious themes are visible where one enter to the basement: "Jacob's Ladder", "Trinity" - a set of three stained-glass windows, "The Golden Calf" and a set of nine stained-glass windows - portraits - "Expulsion from Paradise" and "The struggle between Good and Evil." The bar is decorated with "Passage of the Jews through the Red Sea." This stained glass panel fills the space under the counter by mapping its shape - bent in an arc.

Today's blog continues my translation and re-reading of Psalms 1 – 41 , the first book of Psalms.
For praise comes well from honest people.
Make music to him on the ten – stringed lyre.
Deftly finger the sounding strings.
And all his working is true.
The Lord's goodness fills the earth.
And all their bright armies by the breath of his mouth.
He holds the ocean depths in storerooms.
Let all the earth fear the Lord!
Let the world's inhabitants shrink from him!
He gave orders and it stood firm.
His heart's cunning is for all generations.
And the people he chose as his family estate!
He looks at the children of Adam.
He gazes at the dwellers on earth.
He will not save anyone by his huge power.
And we have confidence in his holy name.
A new song proclaims the contemporaneity of God even in a religious culture that valued its ancient traditions. For the poet of this psalm, God is immediately available as the Creator, whose working is evident in all times and places. As in the book of Genesis the Lord creates by his word; there is no heavy labour. This word is characterised by two qualities: honesty or rightness, which makes everything well; and truth or faithfulness, which maintains loyalty to his own nature and to his creatures. This issues in God's love of justice, that is, a desire that all creatures should be given their due, bringing a measure of his/her goodness into the life of the universe. The summary of creation given here picks up both images of God's action from the first chapter of Genesis, the speaking of the word and the movement of God's breath or spirit.
The Hebrew word used for a "heap" of sea water is the same rare word used in the Exodus account of the crossing of the Red Sea, which gives us a hint of God's rescue of his people as well as his power over the mighty waters. These images of God's creation encourage wise human reflection on divine power, which demands reverence, not for its incredible force, but for its quiet effectiveness: "he spoke and it happened; he gave orders and it stood firm." Human beings throw their weight around but God alone does the business. Human beings make cunning plans which God nullifies, while his own cunning effortlessly achieves its goals.
When the late Gregory Bateson, the ecologist, looked at the 12- step programme of the AA, he hailed its insistence on the "higher power" as the beginning of wisdom. We cannot control our own lives; we are part of a greater wisdom, from which we may learn what is good for us, and how to gain it by discipline.

Singing protesters interrupted Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's town hall event to demand an end to the arms shipments
US Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) had an event in New York on Saturday disrupted by a group of demonstrators who rose to their feet and began singing a Latin hymn for peace. The protestors were voicing their objection to the self-professed progressive's vote to send billions of dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine.
Holding signs reading "negotiation not annihilation" and "stop sending weapons to Ukraine," the group sang 'Dona Nobis Pacem', a Latin hymn used in the Catholic mass that translates as 'Give Us Peace'.
"We always support everyone's First Amendment rights here and everyone has the complete right to political expression," Ocasio-Cortez responded, but only after the protesters had been removed from the premises by security.
A member of the Congressional Progressive Caucus, Ocasio-Cortez has voted against sending military aid to Saudi Arabia and abstained from voting on funding Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. However, she voted in May to provide Ukraine with $40 billion in military and economic aid, a decision that led a left-wing activist to accuse her of "voting to start a nuclear war" during a similar town hall in October.
Despite giving a green light to such a massive arms fund, Ocasio-Cortez added her name to a letter by Congressional Progressive Caucus chair Pramila Jayapal in October urging President Joe Biden to "seriously explore all possible avenues, including direct engagement with Russia, to reduce harm and support Ukraine in achieving a peaceful settlement."
The letter, which was signed by 30 House Democrats, was retracted a day later and the pro-peace progressives stated that they backed Biden's policy of indefinite military aid to Kiev.

Pope Benedict XVI says an apparent suicide bombing outside a Mass in Egypt that left 21 worshippers dead "offends God and all of humanity."
The pope offered condolences and expressed his grief for the victims and their families during his traditional Sunday Angelus prayer.
He compared the attack to bombs placed near churches in Iraq, saying both are meant to intimidate Christians and prevent them from attending services. Benedict has repeatedly denounced the violent campaign against Christians in Iraq blamed on al-Qaida militants.
He also remembered the "numerous" pastoral workers killed in 2010.
The pope urged Christians Saturday in his New Year's appeal to remain strong in the face of intolerance and violence.


Goalkeepers: Sergio Romero (Monaco), Mariano Andujar (Catania), Agustin Orion (Boca Juniors).
Defenders: Federico Fernandez (Napoli), Ezequiel Garay (Benfica), Martin Demichelis (Manchester City), Pablo Zabaleta (Manchester City), Marcos Rojo (Sporting Lisbon), Jose Basanta (Monterrey), Hugo Campagnaro (Inter Milan).
Midfielders: Fernando Gago (Boca Juniors), Augusto Fernandez (Celta Vigo), Javier Mascherano (Barcelona), Angel Di Maria (Real Madrid), Lucas Biglia (Lazio), Maxi Rodriguez (Newell's Old Boys), Ricardo Alvarez (Inter Milan), Enzo Perez (Benfica).
Forwards: Sergio Aguero (Manchester City), Gonzalo Higuain (Napoli), Lionel Messi (Barcelona), Ezequiel Lavezzi (Paris Saint-Germain), Rodrigo Palacio (Inter Milan).
Qualifying with reasonable ease and with a plethora of attacking talent at hand, Argentina are in prime position to launch an assault on the 2014 World Cup.
Lionel Messi will be keen to fire his team into the knock-out phase and way beyond, especially after he failed to net at the 2010 World Cup. But in Brazil, with a supporting cast of Sergio Aguero, Ezequiel Lavezzi and Gonzalo Higuain, Sabella's team will not be lacking in firepower if Messi was to come up short again.
Argentina blew hot and cold at the previous World Cup under the stewardship of Diego Maradona. Under Sabella, they look better organised, much more pragmatic and subsequently have a better platform in place to allow Messi and co. to flourish. Martin Demichelis and Pablo Zabaleta are key defensive men, and come into this World Cup on the back of a title winning campaign with Manchester City.
It remains to be seen whether this added stability is exactly what this team needs to win their first World Cup for 28 years, but the added cohesiveness will surely benefit the Albiceleste as the quality of opposition increases in the latter stages of the competition.
Expect a strong showing from this talented group. A semifinal appearance is a very strong possibility, and if Messi can weave his magic, then the Argentinians have a wonderful chance of glory.
Diminutive in stature but a giant of today's game, who else other than the man who has been nominated the world's best footballer for four of the last five years!? A crazy feat to match his astounding goal scoring record of 327 goals in 395 games for his club at the time of writing. Not to mention the 37 goals he's netted in 83 outings for his country.

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Cut the leeks into 1-in. pieces. Add to the pan and stir to coat with butter. Cover the pan and cook the leeks until softened but not brown, 8 to 10 min. Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring the broth to a simmer over moderate heat. Keep the broth hot, but don't let it boil.
Add the potatoes to the leeks and pour the hot broth over the vegetables. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, 15 to 20 min.
Take the pan from the heat and let cool slightly. Transfer to a food processor (you may want to do this in batches) and purée until very smooth. Return the purée to the pot and place over moderately low heat. The soup should be smooth but not thick. If necessary, add water to loosen the consistency. Season to taste with salt.
Garnish with fried shredded leek greens or chopped chives. Serve hot or let cool before serving.
Note: During the last minute of cooking, you may swirl some cream into the soup for added richness or stir in some thyme, chives, or dill.
JohnGCS writes: A family classic! Haven't tried adding chives into the mix before, I'll certainly bare this in mind for next time!

PRS proposes revised livestream licence after 'call for views', but still criticised by artists and managers
By Chris Cooke | Published on Friday 7 May 2021
UK collecting society PRS yesterday posted an update about its new licence for livestreamed shows, confirming that it would be offering a discount for any livestreams that have taken place during the COVID shutdown. Though, compared to what was first proposed last year, that "discount" means the starting rate goes from 8% to 10%, which is an unusual kind of discount. Meaning plenty of artists, managers and promoters are unhappy with the latest proposals.
Although livestreaming is not new, it was only really when COVID forced the live sector into shutdown last year that the music industry started focusing on the commercial potential of ticketed livestreamed shows. That then posed the question of how the promoters of such shows would go about getting a licence covering the song rights that would be exploited through those livestreamed performances.
That then resulted in a debate over to what extent a livestream is a live show and to what extent it is a stream. Because when it comes to song rights, live shows are generally licensed through the collective licensing system, which means in the UK promoters get a licence from PRS, with the basic rate being around 4% of ticket revenues.
However, with streams licences are variously issued by both collecting societies – in the UK that would be PRS and MCPS – and music publishers, with a rate more like 15% of any revenue linked to a song. So that's quite a difference in terms of complexity and price.
Late last year PRS began circulating – although never formally launched – a proposed new licence for livestreamed shows.
It said that – despite this usage of music basically being a stream – it was working with music publishers to provide a one-stop shop licence covering all elements of the song copyright exploited via that stream. So that includes the so called performing rights controlled by PRS itself, and any reproduction or synchronisation rights which would be controlled by either MCPS or the publishers.
That would simplify the licensing of livestreamed shows somewhat, which was good news for those artists, managers and promoters who, by this point, had already been staging ticketed livestreamed shows for months.
However, said artists, managers and promoters were less impressed with the proposed rates. They would start at 8% on the first £50k of revenue, but then slowly increase on subsequent revenues generated by the show, so that on any income above £450k the rate would be 17%.
Many artists, managers and promoters who had staged livestreamed shows during lockdown hit out at those proposals, arguing that they would make many past shows loss-making for artists, and risked damaging the commercial viability of livestreaming moving forward. They also criticised PRS for coming up with a new licensing scheme without properly consulting the wider music community.
PRS did subsequently announce that it was talking to its music publisher members about offering a discount for livestreamed shows staged while the COVID shutdown was in force. And a separate scheme was also launched for smaller shows that generated £500 or less in revenue, although that too was criticised, because it was a fixed fee system which, some argued, actually penalised the organisers of those smallscale livestreams.
Two further concessions were then announced, both in relation to the licence for smaller scale shows. Artists that only livestream songs they personally wrote and wholly control – but who are nevertheless PRS members – would be able to get a free licence, to ensure that they didn't have to pay over royalties that would then flow back to themselves, but minus an admin fee.
The society also said that it wouldn't actively pursue artists and promoters who staged smaller shows of this kind during the COVID shutdown in 2020, even if technically that meant they had been unlicensed.
Nevertheless, criticism continued about the new PRS licences and how they had been organised. In response, the society announced a 'call for views' and a series of discussions with stakeholders from across the music community. It was following those submissions and discussions that PRS formally unveiled its licensing scheme for livestreaming yesterday.
The first main change is that the scheme for smaller scale shows – and the exceptions attached to it – are being extended to cover any livestreamed events with revenues of up to £1500. Organisers of those shows will also be able to choose between fixed fee and revenue share options, allowing them to go with whichever set-up is more cost effective.
The other main change is that, for shows with revenues over £1500 there will now be a single percentage rate applied on all revenue, rather than the rate going up as revenues increase.
What that rate will be long-term is still to be announced, however for livestream shows that take place during the pandemic it will be 10%. That's described as "discount", because presumably the long-term rate is going to be higher. However, maths fan will note, it's not a discount on the rate previously proposed for revenues up to £50K, which was 8%.
The changes mean that organisers of small scale and large scale livestreamed shows will likely be better off, the latter no longer having to pay the higher rates on revenues above £50K. However, for middle level shows, who were anticipating an 8% rate, the prices just went up. And some still argue that, during COVID at least, the 4% rate for actual real world shows should actually apply.
There also remains one added complication, which is whether this one-stop shop licence can apply on all repertoire globally. Obviously with real world live shows, the performance happens in one place, and the local society is usually empowered to issue a licence covering pretty much the global songs repertoire, so both its own members' songs and the catalogues of other societies around the world with which it has reciprocal agreements.
However, in the streaming domain, things are much more complex. PRS has set out from the start to try to offer as close to a global solution as possible for livestreams, though there has been much debate over to what extent it can do that. In its latest guidance, it says "we are working with our sister societies to provide the broadest possible territorial coverage".
The US is definitely excluded though, meaning that livestream organisers would need to get separate licences from the collecting societies in the US if they are selling tickets in that market, which they probably are. Although, the rates are actually cheaper in the US, so providing an organiser is able to do the extra paperwork, that might actually save them money.
Commenting on the revamped livestream licence yesterday, a spokesperson for PRS said: "We have had healthy debate on ticketed livestreamed events with key stakeholders across the industry representing venues, event promoters, digital platforms and PRS members. Importantly, everyone agrees that songwriters must get paid when their songs are played and used".
"Nearly 2000 people answered our call-for-views on the topic, 80% of whom were PRS members", they went on. "More than half – 54% – of these songwriters said their work had been performed by someone else as part of a livestreamed concert. Songs are the heart of the music industry".
"The discounted rate we are providing will ensure songwriters, composers and publishers are paid for their work, while allowing the emerging online live concert sector the freedom to innovate and grow. As the rate is competitive with those charged in other countries, it will help ensure the UK remains a great place to host live online concerts".
"Throughout 2020, nearly 8000 songwriters joined PRS For Music, that's 22 every single day, and over five million songs and compositions were registered", they concluded. "We will continue to do everything we can to protect the livelihoods of our members, ensuring that their music is valued, whilst at the same time, giving the market the freedom to evolve".
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the revamp was immediately criticised by the Music Managers Forum and Featured Artists Coalition, who were particularly vocal on this issue late last year too. They said in a joint statement that "PRS For Music's announcement today that livestreams will attract a backdated 'interim tariff' of 10% of gross revenue has the potential to be damaging for many artists who have livestreamed during the pandemic".
"For most, this was the only way in over a year that artists were able to connect with fans, earn some income and employ their crew", they added. "We called for PRS to acknowledge this when setting their tariff. The proposed levy is considerably higher than the initial 8% tariff proposed by PRS in late 2020, and more than twice the rate for physical live shows".
"This rate completely disregards the feedback that PRS received in its 'call for views'. The responses, which by PRS's own admission were almost five times more in number than any other consultation they have carried out, make the case for a significantly discounted rate while COVID restrictions remain".
Both MMF and FAC did acknowledge that there were "some positive changes announced … particularly at a grassroots level" and added that they "welcome global licensing of livestreams as far as possible". However, noting that quite how global the global licence actually is hasn't been confirmed yet, they said: "[We] advise that artists and promoters wait until this is formally agreed until fees are paid over to avoid double claims on this income".
They then concluded: "MMF and FAC believe that the high level of backdated tariffs for online shows will be widely viewed as unjustifiable. This hits those artists in the middle the hardest and certainly cannot be construed as a 'discount'. We urge PRS to reconsider and come back with fair and reasonable proposals that the whole industry, including their own members, can benefit from".

La Scala is serious about promoting early opera, and in conductor Diego Fasolis it has a valuable asset. The house orchestra's regular players on period instruments, mixed in with musicians from Fasolis's own group, play with a freshness, drive and florid vitality that is utterly arresting. (Financial Times)
Diego Fasolis studied in Zurich, Paris and Cremona where he obtained four diplomas with distinction. He began his career in the 80s as a concert organist, performing regularly complete works by Bach, Buxtehude, Mozart, Mendelssohn, Franck and Liszt.
Having acquired worldwide recognition, Maestro Fasolis was appointed Chief conductor of the Vocal and Instrumental Ensembles of Swiss Radio and Television in 1993. In 1998 he began conducting I Barocchisti, a Baroque orchestra with period instruments, which he founded with his wife Adriana Fasolis-Brambilla. After her premature death in 2013 he established a charitable foundation in her name to support young musicians. He also works as a guest teacher with leading groups and singers internationally.
Diego Fasolis is renowned as an interpreter of historically informed music. His versatility and virtuosity are combined with a rigorous style which is highly appreciated by the public and by international critics and press both in Europe and in the US.
He has been working with the acclaimed Mezzo-Soprano Cecilia Bartoli since 2011 and has been involved in projects including audio and video recordings as well as major concert tours around the world. Their latest project is dedicated to the works of Italian and German composers discovered in the St. Petersburg archives. Maestro Fasolis also conducted Bellini's Norma in Monte Carlo featuring Cecilia Bartoli in the title role.
A regular guest at the Salzburg Festival for concerts and opera engagements, the latest being Iphigenie en Tauride, Diego Fasolis conducted Beethoven's Ninth Symphony at the Vienna Musikverein, with the Concentus Musicus Wien and the Arnold Schoenberg Choir.
In 2011 Pope Benedict XVI awarded him an Honorary Doctorate of Sacred Music.
Among his past career highlights are Le Comte Ory at the Zurich Opernhaus, Così fan tutte at the Teatro Regio in Turin, La Clemenza di Tito at the Opéra de Lausanne, Orlando furioso at the Teatro La Fenice, Orfeo ed Euridice at the Théâtre des Champs-Elysées and at the Versailles Royal Opera, Il Barbiere di Siviglia in Lugano and at the Hamburg State Opera.
With more than 120 CDs released by major international recording companies such as EMI-Virgin, Naïve, Universal Music and Warner Classics, Maestro Fasolis received numerous prizes for his commitment in the rediscovery of the operatic repertoire: the Disco d'Oro, the Grand Prix du Disque for his work on Handel and Vivaldi, and the Echo Klassik for the opera Artaserse by Leonardo Vinci. In 2014 and 2015 he was nominated for two Grammy Awards for both the triumphant "Mission" project with works by Agostino Steffani and the "St. Petersburg" project with Cecilia Bartoli.
La Scala entrusted him with the creation of an orchestra using period instruments to perform Handel's Trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno. In 2017 he conducted Tamerlano with Placido Domingo at the Teatro alla Scala.
In 2019 Maestro Fasolis has been nominated for "Conductor of the Year" at The International Opera Awards.
Recent and future engagements include La Finta giardiniera at the Teatro alla Scala, La Cenerentola at the Opéra Royal de Wallonie-Liège, L'Incoronazione di Poppea at the Berlin State Opera, Dorilla in Tempe at La Fenice and the first modern representation of Agnese by Ferdinando Paër at the Teatro Regio in Turin, .

Shiroishi-ku (jap. ) ist einer von zehn Stadtbezirken (ku) von Sapporo, der Hauptstadt der japanischen Präfektur Hokkaidō. Er ist 34,47 km² groß und liegt östlich des Stadtzentrums. Im Norden grenzt er an Kita-ku, im Nordosten an die Stadt Ebetsu, im Osten an Atsubetsu-ku, im Südosten an Kiyota-ku, im Süden an Toyohira-ku und im Westen an Chūō-ku.

Geographie
Der Stadtbezirk erstreckt sich über eine Ebene zwischen den Flüssen Toyohira und Atsubetsu, welche die westliche bzw. östliche Bezirksgrenze bilden. Nennenswerte Erhebungen oder sonstige topografische Besonderheiten gibt es keine.

Geschichte
Der Name des Stadtbezirks erinnert an die Burg Shiroishi, die in der gleichnamigen Stadt in der Präfektur Miyagi liegt. Der Samurai Katakura Kuninori, das Oberhaupt der dort ansässigen Katakura-Familie, hatte im Boshin-Krieg auf der Seite der Tokugawa gekämpft. Zwei Jahre nach ihrer Niederlage emigrierte er nach Hokkaidō, ließ sich 1871 hier mit Weggefährten nieder und gründete das Dorf Shiroishi. Ein Teil der Siedler zog ein paar Kilometer weiter und gründete 1874 ein zweites Dorf namens Shin-Shiroishi. Beide Dörfer schlossen sich 1902 zur Gemeinde Shiroishi zusammen.

1889 wurde die Hauptstraße zwischen Sapporo und Ebetsu eröffnet, 1890 die Brücke über den Toyohira. 1903 folgte die Eröffnung des Bahnhofs Shiroishi an der Hakodate-Hauptlinie. Dieser Bahnhof wiederum war ab 1918 Ausgangspunkt der Jōzankei-Bahnlinie, 1926 kam die Chitose-Linie nach Tomakomai hinzu. Aufgrund der guten Erreichbarkeit stieg die Einwohnerzahl von Shiroishi rasch an. Am 25. Juli 1950 fusionierte die Gemeinde mit der benachbarten Stadt Sapporo. Am 1. April 1972 entstand durch Regierungsbeschluss der Bezirk Shiroishi-ku. Sieben Jahre nach der Stilllegung der Jōzankei-Bahnlinie erhielt der Bezirk 1976 Anschluss ans U-Bahn-Netz.

Am 6. November 1989 schuf die Regierung aus dem östlich des Flusses Atsubetsu gelegenen Bezirksteil den neuen Bezirk Atsubetsu-ku. 2003 entstand auf dem Gelände des früheren Bahnhofs Higashisapporo das Sapporo Convention Center.

Verkehr
Durch Shiroishi-ku verläuft in West-Ost-Richtung die Nationalstraße 12 von Sapporo nach Asahikawa. Durch den Bezirk führt auch die Hokkaidō-Autobahn nach Muroran und Nayoro. Ebenso ist Shiroishi-ku der östliche Endpunkt der Sasson-Autobahn nach Otaru.

In diesem Bezirk befinden sich die Bahnhöfe Shiroishi an der Hakodate-Hauptlinie nach Asahikawa sowie Heiwa an der davon abzweigenden Chitose-Linie nach Chitose und Tomakomai. Ganz im Süden des Bezirks verläuft die Tōzai-Linie der U-Bahn Sapporo mit den Bahnhöfen Kikusui, Higashi-Sapporo, Shiroishi, Nangō-nana-chōme, Nangō-jūsan-chōme und Nangō-jūhatchōme.
