ITP – Lab Tests
Below are recommended tests in patients who present with presumed immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) (see Coach's Corner section for additional information):
CBC In all patients In all patients In all patients
Reticulocyte count NM In all patients NM
Peripheral smear In all patients In all patients In all patients
HIV and HCV infection "The majority of authors routinely test for hepatitis B virus (HBV), HIV, and HCV in all adult patients." In all patients. In all patients.
Prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time NM Additional tests are requested in selected patients based on the findings of the basic evaluation. In individuals with moderate or severe thrombocytopenia, those with concerns about clinically important bleeding, and/or those who have planned invasive procedures. The purpose is to investigate and treat other potential causes of thrombocytopenia (eg, liver disease) and bleeding (eg, vitamin K deficiency).
H. pylori The detection of Helicobacter pylori infection, with the
urea breath test or the stool antigen test, should be
included in the initial work-up in appropriate geographical areas. Additional tests are requested in selected patients based on the findings of the basic evaluation. Testing for H. pylori is appropriate in patients with gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of infection because of a reported association between ITP and H. pylori infection. Routine screening for H. pylori may be reasonable in asymptomatic individuals as well, especially those from countries where H. pylori infection is endemic (e.g., Japan). H. pylori-induced ITP is expected to be rare in the United States and Canada.
Thyroid function testing Tests of potential utility in the management of an ITP patient. Additional tests are requested in selected patients based on the findings of the basic evaluation. Thyroid function testing is appropriate in patients with symptoms of hypo- or hyperthyroidism because of rare reports of ITP associated with thyroid disorders.
Bone marrow examination Based on the evidence currently available, when there is isolated thrombocytopenia and no abnormal features present on physical examination or examination of the blood smear, a bone marrow examination is not required in the initial diagnosis, whether or not treatment is recommended.
Bone marrow examination could be appropriate in those relapsing after remission, in patients not responding to initial treatment options, where splenectomy is considered, or if other abnormalities are detected in the blood count or morphology. Bone marrow examination is not required routinely and is generally not useful for diagnosing ITP, but should be performed to exclude other causes of thrombocytopenia when atypical features such as unexplained anemia, lymphadenopathy, or splenomegaly are present.
Failure to respond to first line agents should prompt consideration of bone marrow examination and other causes of thrombocytopenia.
Bone marrow examination may also be warranted in elderly patients in whom myelodysplasia is suspected. Bone marrow examination may be indicated for patients with other unexplained cytopenias (anemia, leukopenia), dysplasia on the peripheral blood smear, other unexpected hematologic findings, or other causes of thrombocytopenia, when suspected.
Patients whose platelet counts do not respond to ITP therapy may warrant a bone marrow examination to investigate for MDS or other platelet production abnormalities such as acquired amegakaryocytic thrombocytopenia.
Immunoglobulin levels Quantitative immunoglobulin (Ig) level testing is indicated to exclude an immune deficiency syndrome
or before
treatment with IVIG. Additional tests are requested in selected patients based on the findings of the basic evaluation. Quantitative immunoglobulin levels may identify underlying CVID or selective IgA deficiency, especially in younger patients.

It's Friday again. It has been a long, hot week here in Barcelona. It's the second heat wave of the year and records are being broken all over Europe. Whilst it's uncomfortable for some and heaven for others, the forest fires and dangers to the elderly make it a dangerous time.
Whilst serious issues such as the heat and Greece's potential exit from the EU have been dominating headlines, there should still be some time on a Friday for a light-heated look at Pilates. I do not take myself too seriously, and I have explained before that I am not obsessed with celebrity. I have never bought Hello Magazine. What I am obsessed with is Pilates, and whilst not every one agrees, it's my opinion that if someone starts Pilates because their friend, neighbour, sporting hero, model, actor/actress or favourite celebrity does Pilates, then that has to be a good thing.
Whilst I know the majority of people take my posts in the intended tongue-in-cheek way, some people do miss the point slightly. I always totally respect everyone has the right to an opinion, but all I am doing is raising the awareness of Pilates. If you do not or can not understand that, then it is your choice not to read my blog today.
Have a great Friday all you Pilates people everywhere, and a great weekend. Like me I imagine that many of you will be "working" over the weekend, but when out "work" give us as much pleasure as it does, there is nothing we would rather be doing.

After several thousand years of careful astrological-tracking, pretty much every single full moon that graces our night sky does so with the lore and legend of many moons past. Best viewed on Saturday and Sunday nights, this month's 'hunter's moon' will not disappoint.
As Universe Today points out, the hunter's moon is considered the first full moon after the harvest moon—the full moon that occurs closest to the fall equinox. Tonight's hunter's moon, as MSN notes, is also considered a supermoon, owing to the full moon phase arriving close to when the moon's orbit brings it closer than usual to earth.
The moon's lore dates back to to pre-columbian times. Guided by the full moon's light, legend has it that hunters would use the full moon to track and kill deer (at their fattest) in order to build food stores for the impending winter. While our civilization of Prius-driving, Chipotle munching louts will certainly not be using the moon as usefully as our predecessors, there's always something romantic about looking up at full moon.
Moonrise on Saturday night will happen at 6:23 p.m., just a few minutes after sunset at 6:19 p.m. On Sunday, moonrise will occur a bit later at 7:07 p.m. The full moon will be visible through the whole the night on both nights, setting after sunrise on Sunday and Monday mornings respectively.
If you fancy yourself an evening drive to stare at the moon, there are lots of good places to look at the moon away from L.A.'s notorious light pollution. We outlined directions to three good spots (the Angeles National Forest, Malibu and the High Desert) in this post from earlier this month, on the Draconids meteor shower. Be warned, however: full moon nights aren't necessarily the best nights for general stargazing, for reasons I hope are immediately obvious.
The name 'hunter's moon' refers to the bygone practice where humans hunted for their food using tools, skills and intellect honed over thousands of years of practice and tradition. Pretend that Donald Trump is elected President of the United States, modernity and our industrialized society concludes and we all find ourselves back in the stone ages by October of 2017. Do you have the skills, tools and intellect to feed yourself, as our ancestors once did?
Moon lore follows that the during a supermoon, the celestial body's closer-than-average proximity means its gravity has a more pronounced than usual effect on earthly activities. Lore follows that seismic and volcanic activity are often elevated during supermoons. While scientists say this lore is a bunch of hooey, consider the fact that the San Andreas Fault is "locked, loaded and ready to roll." Do you have the skills, tools and intellect to feed yourself and your loved ones in the wake of a major (questionably supermoon triggered) earthquake? If not, we have a guide.
Are we alone in the universe? And, as a corollary, is it more unsettling if we are or we are not?

Protecting the Shield by Building Players' Brands
Hilary Sutton November 7, 2014 Issue 14 - Nov/Dec 2014, Legal Leave a Comment
NFL Players Inc.'s EVP and GC, Ahmad Nassar, blends legal and business acumen to help players maximize their earning potential
Winston & Strawn and our Sports Litigation Practice is proud to support Ahmad Nassar. It is a privilege to work with Ahmad and NFL Players Inc." – David Greenspan, partner, Winston & Strawn LLP
Ahmad Nassar has a clear objective: to generate revenue for the 2,000 players of the National Football League (NFL). As Executive Vice President and General Counsel for NFL Players Inc. (NFLPI), Nassar is equal parts lawyer and shrewd business leader. He is the legal mind in the room when business strategies are formed.
NFLPI is the for-profit licensing and marketing subsidiary of the NFL Players Association (NFLPA), a not-for-profit union labor organization. NFLPI helps players in the NFL utilize their commercial licensing rights for business and marketing opportunities. When players sign with a team in the NFL, they also sign a group licensing assignment with the NFLPA that enables NFLPI to go to work earning revenue for the players through licensing their names, numbers, likenesses and images.
Nassar is the point man on business agreements and works to generate revenue for players through sponsorships and licensing with partners like EA, Nike and Pepsi. "Players assign it to us to manage in the group setting. Jerseys, video games, trading cards—we manage that for them. Licensing intellectual property is an inherently legal business," Nassar said. This "legal business" results in $125 million in annual revenue.
The Myth of the NFL Player
According to Nassar the image the public has of NFL players with multimillion-dollar contracts they can retire on is largely false. "Their average career is less than four years," he noted. "There's a 100 percent injury rate. Some of these young men weren't pushed to focus on school. Seeing that side of the business has really made it abundantly clear to me that the people I work for are people who need help from their union."
Nassar joined NFLPI five years ago when his mentor, DeMaurice Smith, became the Executive Director of the NFLPA. Prior to Nassar's arrival, NFLPI had no full-time lawyer on staff. It had also just lost a $25-million legal case. Nassar immediately focused on getting in front of legal issues and implementing best practices. Instead of being brought in when matters were urgent, he developed a strategy to put NFLPI ahead of potential issues.
Nassar lights up when talking about the guys in the league. "Our players have these tremendously unique stories to tell. There's 2,000 of them, with a 20 percent league turnover each year. That's a challenge to manage organizationally. Our work is figuring out how to tell that story in a way benefiting the players."
And so he leads a small team of lawyers who support the players as a group. They have an average of four years to maximize the players' ties to the NFL. Some of them do not have a clear next career step, so the work of NFLPI is crucial during the period they play in the league.
A Winning Leadership Style
At NFLPI, Nassar has two direct reports who also are lawyers. Over the years, Nassar has developed a clear leadership philosophy that reaps solid results: an open dialogue. Each team member is easy to reach and ready to solve issues as they arise.
"We have open and frank conversations, so we get the best results. That's a two-way street," Nassar said. This open-dialogue approach means that anyone on the team can ask "why," and anyone can offer a solution to a problem. "We get one of two results," Nassar said. "A suggestion leads to a good idea and we do it, or we don't do it and we at least have the conversation where we explain why."
The purpose for embracing the questions? "We need to continue to reexamine to make sure the way we are doing things now is right."
Though he once toyed with the idea of playing Division III football in college, the former high school football player could not have fathomed one day working closely with NFL players. In fact, while he considers his role with NFLPI a "dream job," Nassar never even imagined such a unique opportunity coming his way.
His advice to young people who would like to follow in his footsteps is to be open to new opportunities. "Borrowing from football coaches, have your head on a swivel," Nassar conveyed. "That means being cognizant of what's out there. That's the most important thing for people who don't have the luxury of charting their careers years in advance."
Whether he's relaying similar career advice to NFL players who are at a career crossroad or working to secure multimillion-dollar licensing agreements, one thing is for sure: The players of the NFL are better off with Nassar on their team.
Nassar's mentor, DeMaurice Smith, Executive Director of the NFLPA, gave him three insights he'll never forget.
Perspective is key. "The first time we worked on something together, I was sitting in his office when he got a call from a panicked associate, a younger lawyer. After re-reading a draft, that lawyer realized he had sent a document to De with a minor grammatical error. De was bewildered. De hung up the phone and rolled his eyes, smirked and said, 'This guy emailed me and said it was an urgent issue, this grammatical error. I come from a world where an urgent issue is a call from the morgue to bring a family member to identify a body. That's an urgent issue.' We shook our heads and went back to work."
Use the "Advance Game Theory." "Think of it as chess versus checkers—thinking two, three, four moves ahead and gaming out how your own actions will cause someone else to react. De taught me that back at our law firms, and he's most certainly carried that over to the NFLPA. Examples include our approach to the NFL lockout and our licensing and marketing business strategies."
Balance makes better employees. "Balance is a constant struggle for me. I have to remember: I'm not a surgeon, I'm not on call. De does a great job of balance. He coached his children in different sports while he was a law firm partner. I've been able to coach my kids in baseball and soccer. I know that's important. It does me no favors to have my team under lock and key from 8 am until midnight. I want them to take vacation. It makes them more well-rounded employees in the long run and healthier people in the short run."

Hunt, Danner, Junghans, Hoeness... Mertesacker Emptiness.
We're still reeling from the incredible World Cup result last night, but this isn't the first batch of German players to impress.
To celebrate the team's incredible victory, we post this recently-recorded video by former Special Needs frontman Zachery Stephenson.
With the help of lyrics by Everything author Simon Price and a backing track, Stephenson has reworked Manic Street Preachers' 'Motorcycle Emptiness' through the prism of German footballers' names.
"Some time in the not too distant past, journalist and Manic Street Preachers biographer Simon Price appropriated the Welsh band's 1992 hit 'Motorcycle Emptiness', replacing the words with those of German footballers," Stephenson explained.
"It was a bizarre but ingenious step and I found myself singing along as I read the lyrics, so I felt compelled to record a version using a karaoke track.
"I subsequently felt obliged to muster up a very basic video to accompany it. Here it is."

On January 26, 2016 January 26, 2016 By Henry BrookeIn NON-LEGAL MATTERS
Much has been written in the obituary columns about the political career of Cecil Parkinson, who died yesterday. I thought it might be of interest if I said something of what he did to help the Wordsworth Trust at a difficult time.
I met him when I joined the Trustees[1] in 1993. He had been at school[2] with the Trust's remarkable director, Robert Woof[3], and I suppose he joined the Board when he left the Government three years earlier at the time of Margaret Thatcher's downfall. He was always quiet and polite, the very opposite of the "Tory Grandee" that the media use as a shorthand when they speak about him.
The Trustee was an eclectic mix of Wordsworth, Coleridge or De Quincey scholars, men or women of a literary disposition in public life (like Michael Foot[4]), or others, chosen by Robert or by Jonathan Wordsworth, the engaging chair of the trustees, as people who might bring something of value to the Trustee Board. We used to make the long journey to Grasmere twice a year, although the time came when the committees it felt obliged to create would meet rather more often.
The finances of the Trust at that time were hair-raising. Robert, our resident meteor, had the most attractive jackdaw tendencies. However, although he could usually identify donors to help him buy new artistic or literary treasures for the Trust, raising income for "core funding" – to pay current overheads and feed the interest on our burgeoning mortgage debt[5] – was a quite different matter.
I think Cecil was wanting to stand down as a trustee two or three years after I joined the Trust, when Robert twisted his arm to become our Treasurer. Quite apart from having to find ways of balancing the books, the Trust faced another challenge as Robert had for a long time been very keen to build a Collections Centre[6] close to Dove Cottage, by way of complementing the new Museum whose creation he had been largely responsible for driving forward 15-20 years earlier. A way had to be found to reduce the mortgage debt, raise money for the design and construction of the Collections Centre, and also hopefully to raise money for an endowment fund whose income might help to ease the financial position for our successors in the long term.
Cecil's task was made no easier because Robert was now notorious among would-be donors as someone who regarded the Business Plans on which they insisted as tiresome hurdles which had to be surmounted if they were ever to help the Trust again – a sort of art form – but not as any kind of incubus which should be allowed to trammel his activities in driving the Trust forward to ever greater and grander glory.
Of course there were many others who helped in the efforts which helped to reduce the mortgage debt, to pay for what is now the Jerwood Collections Centre, and to see the beginnings of the creation of an endowment fund before Robert's all too early death ten years ago. But Cecil was at the centre of it all until the position was stabilised, and lovers of the romantic poets owe him a debt of gratitude.
I should end by saying that Cecil's politics were light years away from those of my great grandfather, the founder of the Trust. Stopford Brooke was one of the early Christian Socialists. It was said of him that his path towards ecclesiastic preferment (before he resigned as a Chaplain to the Queen and left the Church of England in 1880) was blocked because Gladstone did not mind his politics – he was a very strong supporter of Irish Home Rule – but thought he was theologically unsound[7], while Disraeli could not care less about his theology but disliked his politics intensely. He was once invited by Queen Victoria's eldest daughter to act as personal tutor to her eldest son, the future Kaiser Wilhelm II. Would European history have been different if he had accepted the offer?
His portrait[8], formerly above the fire in the sitting room at Dove Cottage, now occupies pride of place at the entrance to the Collections Centre.
[1] Since my great-grandfather Stopford Brooke had spotted the opportunity to raise £650 to buy Dove Cottage and endow it in perpetuity (as he thought) as a shrine for English romantic poetry, there had always been a member of my family on the Board of the Dove Cottage Trust (later renamed the Wordsworth Trust).
[2] Lancaster Royal Grammar School. As all his obituaries have told us, his father was the stationmaster at Carnforth Station, in whose waiting-room Celia Johnson was filmed meeting Trevor Howard again and again in the film Brief Encounter.
[3] Robert, who died in November 2005 aged 74, was a Wordsworth scholar from Newcastle University whose genius and driving energy had transformed the Trust's affairs ever since he started coming there in the early 1970s. His widow Pamela is now President of the Trust. She is a Dorothy Wordsworth scholar in her own right, and was acting as secretary of the Trust when I first met her.
[4] Although he never attended any Trustees' meetings in my day, Michael Foot frequently took part in the Trust's literary activities, particularly if the writings of William Hazlitt were under discussion.
[5] Whenever a property in the tiny hamlet of Town End (where the cottage was situated) came on the market, Robert was keen that the Trust should acquire it. By the time I joined the Board, the bank's willingness to lend any more money was drying up fast, but that did not prevent him from arranging a mini-bus to take us to Keswick to consider the possibility of buying Greta Hall (the poet Robert Southey's former home) at a time when its former school owners were keen to find a purchaser. We all said "no, no, no", after the manner of Cecil's former political mistress. Robert thought the less of us, but he soon recovered from his disappointment.
[6] The Trust's collection of priceless manuscripts was first started when a member of the Wordsworth family gave a large quantity of the poet's manuscripts to the Trust in 1934. They were housed in an old building in Town End which did not begin to meet the environmental standards needed for their long term preservation.
[7] In 1897 Gladstone told Stopford Brooke in a letter: " I am afraid there are important questions on which we might not agree ; but I remember with pleasure an intense sympathy with which I once heard you preach at Westminster Abbey (what I called) a sermon against respectability."
[8] Stopford's, not Cecil's.

New Bridge Chronicles Content Announcement
/ News, Press / By Gary Ballard
Truth be told, I've been really busy with life since Paycheck Euphoria was released in September of 2021. My typical writing schedule after the release of a book is mostly set – I almost always take a month off from writing anything, even so much as an outline after the work that goes into producing a novel. I do some marketing but I don't really write anything new for at least a month. According to my computer's creation dates, that didn't exactly hold true. I created the outline for the historical novel I've been writing since then back on September 18, 2021, so sounds like I took a good two weeks off at least. Putting together a novel, then sewing up all the bits and bobs it takes to publish it oneself can take a lot out of a writer, so that decompression time is critical. It's very likely that I started so soon afterwards because I was so incredibly enthused about the subject matter.
Now here I am, almost 17 months later, and I'm still enthused about that novel. And I'm still writing it. It's gigantic, by the way, probably destined to be the longest novel I've ever written in my life. Unfortunately, that also means it's not likely to see completion prior to the end of 2023 or later, if I'm honest with myself. What does a self-published author do in the meantime to keep his past works in the mix, to keep that selling machine going?
I started thinking of ways I could throw some Bridge Chronicles type content out there. Another Tales from the Bridge Chronicles collection? The only problem with trying to add to the Bridge storyline is that the end of Paycheck Euphoria brought me to a very specific spot in the future timeline. There simply isn't any more "time" to fit a full Bridge adventure in between that story and the one that's coming next (yes, I do actually have the end of the Bridge series planned out). If I wanted to do something in universe, it would have to only peripherally involve Bridge. I had wanted to write a Christmas story, but again, I couldn't fit one into the timeline.
What about all those other characters that inhabit the universe who might have some compelling content? And that's when it hit me. The Excavator. Shel. I wrote the short story that ended up in Tales From the Bridge Chronicles, Volume 1 back in 2011, but I'd always intended to use Shel for future stories. The concept of excavators fascinates me, virtual archaeologists plumbing the depths of the deceased's online life for money, or information or just to provide closure for the survivors. Now that I had a character, I had to have a format.
Along comes Kindle Vella, and I have to admit to being skeptical about it. I don't have a problem giving away parts of the story for free: after all, that's how Under the Amoral Bridge got its start in life. My concern was more about how readers have to purchase "tokens" which sounds like worst of mobile phone gatcha microtransaction bullshit infecting literature. To be honest, it may end up being exactly that. However, it does offer episodic content with the ability to later package the content as one novel.
With that, I had my idea. Hiss, Whistle, Dead: A Bridge Chronicles Mystery is going to be released on the Kindle Vella soon-ish. I started the outline today and with any luck, I'll get a chance to write it in the next few months. Keep watch on this space for more details.

Deaths of 76 animals linked to two years of renovations at Montreal Biodome
Back in August, the Montreal Biodome triumphantly reopened after more than two years of renovations, but we're now learning more about the toll the revamp took on the animals who live there.
Nov 27, 2020 6:03 PM By: Global News
Updated Nov 27, 2020 6:05 PM
It turns out dozens were killed by preventable mistakes.
"It's always extremely devastating to lose an animal," said Emiko Wong, the Biodome's head of live collections, conservation and research.
In total, 76 animals died after being moved to temporary homes during the renovations. The deaths of seven others could not be definitively linked to the renovations.
The casualties were revealed after an access to information request filed by Radio-Canada.
"Basically we can call them three tragedies where we had a cluster of animals that unfortunately passed away," Wong told Global News.
Read more: Montreal Biodome reopens after multi-million-dollar renovations
A portion of the deaths were caused by human mistakes. For example, 15 birds native to the St. Lawrence Estuary, including terns and gulls, were transferred to a sanctuary in Saint-Eustache.
A weasel snuck into their enclosure and picked them off one by one.
"Weasels, they don't necessarily eat their prey right away," Wong explained. They kill their prey, and then after they killed a second. So it was kind of 'one after the other' situation."
Forty-six bats were put into an enclosure with the wrong kind of netting, severely damaging their sensitive wings. The mesh chosen was too abrasive, according to Wong. She said they changed to mosquito netting as soon as the problem came to light, but many bats had already been injured.
"We can't maintain a bat that cannot fly. We consider it unethical in a certain sense," she said.

A cluster of tropical birds died of a fungal infection in their temporary enclosure, which Wong says was exacerbated by the stress of the move.
"Any small stress is basically a bigger stress for them than for us humans," she said.
Seven deaths could not definitively be linked to the move. A callimico monkey died of a kidney problem, for example.
"Maybe it was the dehydration caused by the stress? We can't make a clear connection. It was an uncertain case," Wong said.
She said two years is a long stretch in the life of an animal, and that the amount of deaths during the renovations was not that much higher than usual.
"We looked at the the mortality rates during this renovation period and we looked at the mortality rate during the five years before this renovation, and it's quite similar, actually."
She said the team will take the lessons learned from the tragic deaths and use them to improve care across the board.

In 2004, small, family-owned, independent beauty businesses seemed like a thing of the past, as large brands were buying them up left, right and center. But that didn't mean there wasn't a demand for them. With my (Matthew) past career in the beauty industry and Andrew Goetz's business acumen, we decided to take the entrepreneurial plunge and leverage our collective know-how at a time when there was a void for an authentic voice again in niche luxury beauty. Since then, MALIN + GOETZ has transformed from a small Chelsea apothecary to an international beauty brand.
My family was also incredibly supportive, but the reaction came with with a list of questions and recommendations: "Have you thought everything through? Did you save enough money? Are you sure this is what you want to do?" Seeing these varied responses was all the more encouraging. It was exactly what we had expected and we had planned accordingly. Plus, we both had the support of our families, which meant we were on the right track.
We're constantly told that the key to starting a successful business is to find a niche. For my entire adult life, I have suffered from rosacea, eczema, seborrhea, and fragrance allergies. As a beauty professional, using and trying products, there was a void for effective formulas that position themselves to be gentle and non-irritating to serious sensitivities. Knowing the industry and after some preliminary research, it was evident that this was a market that had yet to be adequately filled. I feel that this philosophy is applicable to most new companies – find what you're knowledgeable in and then figure out how to apply it in an original way. If you can do that, you're well on your way to positioning your business.
That said, it's not just about the product. While our formulas focus on effective, easy to use skin care for sensitive skin, brand aesthetic also plays a big part in our philosophy. Our modern packaging design is rooted in traditional chemist labels and honest, user friendly apothecary-style aesthetics. It is fresh and understandable, and should always elevate the design quotient in your bathroom and home while integrating seamlessly to any personal home design choices. Long story short, we've found that the best products are the ones that tell a story. You want to make an emotional connection with your customers too.
We got really lucky with our first Manhattan location. The shop was located in Chelsea, in our co-op building, a floor beneath our apartment. Being located so close to our shop made it easy for us to adapt as things changed and being positioned right in our neighborhood gave us a strong sense of community. Plus, Chelsea is a vibrant and diverse downtown community of young, affluent tastemakers, so we were in the ideal spot to attract the clients we were hoping would embrace our brand.
But location isn't everything. Just like our packaging design, the look of the shop was extremely important to us and our clientele. Once you step inside the store, it's easy to tell that merchandising is king. We have five categories of products to represent: face, body, hair, fragrance, and candles. We want the stores to be beautiful and design each individually to complement their markets and neighborhoods. And, they should be easy to navigate and understandable to shop. So, we think a lot about where each product lives and how it relates to the rest of the store. When merchandising your shop, remember: everything inch of your store should be optimized for selling, but without sacrificing the aesthetic.
After 12 years spent building our brand domestically, we recently expanded our operations to the UK. This was one of the hardest things we've done, and we learned some incredibly humbling lessons along the way. The first is to be respectful of the country's culture and to see ourselves as the outsider. The mindset and culture of the UK is dramatically different from the US, and, we are guests there, offering our unique US brand, in their home. We manage every day respectfully of these wonderful differences and embrace them to succeed.
The bigger we get, the more critical it becomes to have strong and integrated omnichannel technology. We operate retail from a brick and mortar chain of shops and online e-commerce websites, in addition to a diverse wholesale and manufacturing business. So, POS and eCom, inventory, CRM/Loyalty—these are critical tools and solutions that we cannot live without. If you want your business to grow, you need the right tools to do it.
At the end of the day, the key to growth is about staying focused and directed. It is so easy to be distracted or veer off course. There is a lot of appealing "noise" to lead any business in a poor direction, but if you stick to your plan, you'll be better for it.

News Release from RWE Renewables GmbH
Breaking ground in Lower Saxony: RWE to construct new wind farm in Evendorf
RWE is supporting the state government of Lower Saxony in transitioning its energy supply to renewables / Wind farm able to supply 7,500 homes with green electricity / Commissioning planned for summer 2022
Image: RWE
RWE is commencing construction of the Evendorf wind farm. The company is erecting three Nordex turbines with a total installed capacity of 11.7 megawatts (MW) and a hub height of 134 metres in Lower Saxony's Harburg district, around 50 kilometres south of Hamburg. Once they become fully operational in late summer, the turbines will produce enough green electricity to supply 7,500 homes. RWE is making good progress with expanding its wind farm portfolio in Germany. Most recently, the company was granted approval for two onshore wind projects in Lower Saxony and North Rhine-Westphalia. In its home market of Germany, RWE, with its long-standing wind power experience, operates an onshore business with over 580 MW capacity (pro rata).
"Evendorf is a positive example of how the pace of building additional renewables capacities can be stepped up due to good collaboration with state and local authorities. I want to thank the local stakeholders and the local authority for their great support with this project," said Jens Edler-Krupp, who is responsible for developing RWE's German onshore wind farms. Christian Sauer, Lord Mayor of the Egestorf municipality to which Evendorf belongs, points out: "To achieve the ambitious targets of the energy transition, we need onshore wind power. Each wind turbine saves large volumes of climate-damaging CO2. You'd hardly think that three new wind turbines will soon be up and running here. But from late-summer they will be generating large amounts of climate-friendly energy."
RWE's ambitions for growth in Germany
RWE will expand its team to develop the regional onshore wind and solar business in Germany and will open seven new offices soon. About 200 new colleagues are to be hired to rigorously drive project development. RWE wants to invest up to €15 billion in the expansion of offshore and onshore wind, solar, storage, flexible back-up capacities and hydrogen in its home market by 2030.

Instead of attempting to assault acne accumulation after it has actually occurred, try avoiding it from taking place in the very first location. Exercise aids in the flow of blood throughout your body and helps oxygen to enter the cells, which results in healthy skin. Exercise also lowers tension, which is a known contributor to acne.
Lots of women currently understand that cucumber slices can help get rid of bags under their eyes. But, not many know that it can help clear up acne also. Grate a cucumber and apply it to any affected topics. Then sit back and unwind for about fifteen minutes to let it do its work. Then, wash it away.

Make sure to shower right after you work out. When you exercise you generate heat and wetness. This wetness then is trapped under your clothes and on your skin. These topics are best breeding premises for bacteria. So to help eliminate this bacteria be sure to shower as quickly as you can after you work out.
As you can see, there are numerous little changes that you can make to your skin care workout, to help battle acne. So, if you got up to a breakout, attempt incorporating these ideas into your skin care regimen and quickly your pimples will be gone and future breakouts will certainly be avoided.

Neymar's Father Claims PSG Knew About Late Preseason Return
Paris Saint-Germain intend to punish Neymar for not attending preseason duties on Monday, but his father insists the club knew of his plans.
Neymar's father insists Paris Saint-Germain were well aware the Brazil star would not be returning for pre-season training on July 8.
The Ligue 1 champions said they would take "appropriate action" against the forward after he did not appear for club duties on Monday.
Club statement - Neymar Jr 📍

The news has fueled rumors Neymar will look to force through a move away from the club in the transfer window, with a return to Barcelona mooted as well as a possible switch to Real Madrid.
PSG said in a statement that they had not authorised the player's absence, but Neymar Sr. is adamant they had agreed he would not be back until July 15 due to commitments with Instituto Neymar, a charitable organisation set up by the 27-year-old and his family.
"The reason [for his absence] is known and was scheduled one year ago, with the annual schedule of his institute, and we couldn't change it," he told Fox Sports.
"His return will be on the 15th. It's as simple as that... no controversy. And PSG are aware and are part of the institute's actions."
The majority of the PSG squad went through medical tests on Monday to begin their pre-season programme under Thomas Tuchel.

Neymar had been part of the Brazil squad for the Copa America until an ankle injury suffered in a warm-up match against Qatar forced him to miss the tournament.
He stayed in his homeland to watch Tite's side, who lifted the trophy on Sunday after beating Peru 3-1 in the final.

Word spread across the countryside about the wise Holy Man who lived in a small house atop the mountain. A man from the village decided to make the long and difficult journey to visit him.
When he arrived at the house, he saw an old servant inside who greeting him at the door.
"I would like to see the wise Holy Man," he said to the servant.
The servant smiled and led him inside. As they walked through the house, the man from the village looked eagerly around the house, anticipating his encounter with the Holy Man.
"But I want to see the Holy Man!"
"You already have," said the old man. "Everyone you may meet in life, even if they appear plain and insignificant... see each of them as a wise Holy Man. If you do this, then whatever problem you brought here today will be solved."

We hate to repeat ourselves (oh, not really!), but 2014 was an incredible year for Take The Lead and our mission of leadership parity by 2025! Thank you to everyone—the fantastic leaders and facilitators and attendees—who joined us in 2014.
Last week we recapped highlights from our Take The Lead Challenge launch event and our learning programs. Launch keynoters Sheryl Sandberg and Carla Harris were inspiring and definitely drew the crowds, but there's way more to share from 2014 about how the Take The Lead community PRESENTED and CONNECTED.
One launch highlight was a powerhouse Women's Media Center panel on the impact of media on women's leadership—a topic we've also written about in "Leadership Fictions" with FEM-Inc. Watch the rich conversation during the medial panel here, featuring Karen Finney (MSNBC), Julie Burton (Women's Media Center), Erica Gonzalez (El Diario/La Prensa), Kristin Gilger (ASU Cronkite School for Journalism), Aminatou Sow (TechLady Mafia), and Pat Mitchell (Paley Center for Media). To top it off, Burton released the Women's Media Center's annual groundbreaking "The Status of Women in the U.S. Media 2014" report.
Would workplaces become more balanced and society more equitable if women exhibited more confidence? Katty Kay and Claire Shipman created a stir with their book The Confidence Code and their article, "The Confidence Gap" in The Atlantic. To continue this important conversation, we were honored to have Shipman speak to the Take The Lead community in July about how personal confidence relates to women advancing in the workplace and in society. Yes, women face very real barriers, no matter how confident we are, but leading with confidence expands our possibilities in ways that change our lives and the lives of other women. (Like this quote? Tweet it!) Did you attend this event with Shipman? What did you learn? This confidence question will surely be an ongoing conversation, so we'd love to hear your thoughts!
The Solution to Feeling Stuck: Get a Coach!
At Take The Lead we teach women to define their lives and careers on their own terms. But history has also told us how crucial it is to seek help when we need it. That's why we were so excited to gather some of the best coaches we know for an event in NYC sponsored by the fabulous ALEX AND ANI. Alisa Cohn, Robyn Hatcher, Bonnie Marcus, Dana Balicki, Audrey S. Lee, Maggie Castro Stevens, and Leslie Grossman joined us to share their wisdom and generously donate hours of coaching time to attendees. See photos from the event and learn more here.
One way we work to achieve leadership parity at Take The Lead is by working with women across all backgrounds, generations, and professional fields. And we're proud to collaborate with a larger resurgent women's movement we see happening all around us. One way we create connections among women is through our online Take The Lead Community. If you haven't signed up yet, please do so. Whatever your field, whatever stage of your career, use this community to network and get honest, actionable advice from other accomplished women having valuable conversations. Soon we'll be adding a mentoring component you won't want to miss.
Stay in touch with Take The Lead by signing up for our newsletter, and following us Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. Thanks again to everyone who joined us this year and stay tuned for exciting developments in 2015!
Remember! Please take a moment in the comments section to tell us what's bugging you, highlight learning topics you want to see in our webcasts, courses, or blog, and suggest experts you admire. You can also tweet us at @takeleadwomen using the hashtag #takeleadwomen2015.
If you're moved by the work Take The Lead does to give women and men true parity across all sectors, it's not too late to donate to enable us to Teach, Connect, and Present to more people next year. Read more about our strategy for change, Take The Lead's 4 keys to leadership parity, here.
I think some of the programming has been financially out of reach for many millennial women. The Mightybell Circle is super cool, but could definitely be more active. And there's definitely no better way for women to take the lead than to organize themselves locally – resources for that would be awesome.
Really enjoyed the kick-off event this year and looking forward to seeing more great things!

summary : sometimes it shows "sending : 2 messages" even i sent one.
expected result : it should show "sending: 1 message"
Might this be due writing a large SMS where the text would not fit into one?
Summary changed from sometimes it shows "sending : 2 messages" even i sent one. to [Qtopia : send message] sometimes it shows "sending : 2 messages" even i sent one.
It doesn't have this problem so far, but if I send 2 SMS it doesn't tell me how many messages I send.

Consumer's Union: EVs cost a lot less per mile
Consumer Reports published an article on Thursday that confirms what most of us already know: EVs are cheaper to run than ICE vehicles. A lot cheaper.
The consumer watchdog conducted tests of the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf, and calculated operating costs based on the national average price of electricity, 11 cents per kWh. It found that the Leaf costs just 3.5 cents a mile to drive, while the slightly heavier Volt costs 3.8 cents per mile in electric mode. In gas mode, the Volt got 32 mpg, comparable to a medium-mileage gas burner such as the Toyota Corolla. The most fuel-efficient non-plug-in vehicle, the Toyota Prius hybrid, cost 8.6 cents per mile in CU's test.
So, what's the catch? Plug-ins cost more to buy. A lot more. A Volt goes for about $44k, and a Leaf for about $35k, while you can have a Prius for about $27k. Even that represents a premium over the most fuel-efficient legacy vehicle, the Toyota Corolla ($18k, 11.9 cents per mile). So choosing a Leaf over a Prius will cost you eight grand more up front, a sum that would probably take the average driver almost ten years to recoup. Of course, the more miles you drive, the shorter the payback period, which is why taxi companies and other fleet operators are already steadily phasing out the old technology in favor of hybrids and/or EVs.
The direction of the future seems clear, but the timing is anything but. With battery technology improving slowly, and both oil and electricity prices unpredictable, it's anybody's guess when a production EV will achieve the magical payback period that makes it start flying off the lots.

Is it legal to not allowed another sect's muslims from praying in a mosque?
The tussle between sects in muslims is an old problem. The disputes between shia and suuni; deobandi and brailwi; wahabi and sunni; sunni and qadiani; over the pray in a mosque, are coming before the courts from a long time.
A dispute also arose in the case of 'Mohd. Wasi and anr. V. Bacchan Sahib & other' (1954)'. In this case, the dispute was regarding to a mosque, in which both shia and sunni used to pray. Despite the long cohabitation, two sunni persons brought a suit claiming it on behalf of the entire sunni community of the town, that Shia should not be allowed to do rituals of muharram in mosque and mosque is only for the purpose of pray only.
However, some persons from sunni community applied to the court that they do not wish to be associated with the plaintiff and nor to represent them and therefore impleaded as defendants.
Bone of Contention
As we said earlier, the dispute was regarding a mosque. The plaintiffs' contention was that it was constructed by a Sunni Musalman, that the Azan and the prayers had all along been said in the Sunni form and that the Shia Musalmans had nothing to do with this mosque, nor did they say their prayers in it, but with the aid of the police the Shia Musalmans had started forcibly decorating Tabut and Gahwara -inside the mosque after doing Matam etc., that according to the belief of the Sunni Musalmans the said action was "against Shariyat and it insults, debases and injures their feelings".
Defendants' group, who applied earlier to be defendant from plaintiffs, supported the Shia defendants and pleaded that they consider Tazias and Taziadari as part of Islamic religion, that they join and participate in the Gahwara procession and they have no objection to the said acts being done as before.
According to them the plaintiffs were a troublesome group who believed in creating disputes between different communities and they realise subscription for the purpose of litigation and misappropriate a part of it.
The Shia defendants denied that the mosque had been constructed by a Sunni. They claimed that they had been saying their prayers in the said mosque and that the decoration of Gahwara and Matam etc., had been performed in the mosque from a long time and the procession was taken out from there and it was recently that the plaintiffs had started creating trouble.
That the mosque was originally constructed by one Ramzani Halwai who had built an Imambara and Kachcha Idgah and he used to do Taziadari in honour of Hazrat Imam Husain. The Rajas of Mahmudabad (who admittedly belong to the Shia sect) had, it was said rebuilt the mosque when it had fallen down and had been responsible for its upkeep and maintenance.
The court's observation and decision
The court said that, they shall assume that the primary object of dedication of a mosque is the saying of prayers to God and the entire Muslim public are the beneficiaries for that purpose.
The court then referred several authorities, which are mentioned below-
In 'Akbarally A. Adamji v. Mohomedally', AIR 1932 Bom 356 (B), Tyabji J. observed at page 362,
"it has been laid down as a principle in a decision of great authority that a mosque must be a mosque for all, that it must be a building dedicated to God and not a building dedicated to God with a reservation that it should be used only by persons holding particular views of the ritual; that it is a place where all Mohomedana are entitled to go and perform their devotions as of right according to their conscience:"
A Hanifi Muslim says the word "amen" at the end of his prayer silently or under his breath while Wahabis say it loudly. A Wahabi Muslim for saying "amen" in a loud voice was prosecuted under Sections 79 and 296, Penal Code (1860). He was convicted by the lower court. There was an appeal to the High Court. The case was referred to a Full Bench and the Chief Justice and three other learned Judges sent the case back for a retrial to find out whether the accused had caused any disturbance at the time of saying of the prayers. See –'Queen-Empress v. Ramzan', 7 All 461 (E).
Mahmood J. wrote a dissentient judgment in which he said:
"As to the merits of the present case itself upon this particular point, I have to observe that a Muhammedan mosque is in many respects different, so far as I know, from an ordinary Christian church; because it is not only a place for divine worship, but also intended for religious and moral teaching and discussion, and it is not unusual that in places where the Muhammadan community is still flourishing, a library and a school form part of the mosque. I cannot, therefore, hold that to carry on religious discussion in a mosque, even though the majority of the people present at the time do not approve of such discussion constitutes a criminal offence."
In — 'Muthala Kandi v. Pulli Veetil Abu Baker', 17 Ind Cas 386 (Mad) (J), it was held by a Bench of the Madras High Court that every Muhammadan worshipper has the right both to offer prayers and to recite the Koran as a part of his right of worship in a mosque but he cannot claim the right to use the mosque for the purpose of collecting subscriptions or distributing sweetmeats.
Court's decision
The court said that, in a country like India, where people are free to follow their own faith, according to their own belief, the policy of live and let live must govern the relationship between followers of various religions or sects, so long as it does not conflict against the rules of public morality or decency. It is not open to a member of a particular sect to claim that the others should not follow their faith according to their belief because it offends against his susceptibilities.
The court finally decided the matter while laying down certain points,
(1) a Mosque is dedicated for the purpose that any Muslim belonging to any sect can go and say prayers therein;
(2) it cannot be reserved for Muslims of any particular denomination or sect;
(3) no one can claim to have the form of congregational prayer usually said in a mosque altered to suit him;
(4) even though the congregational prayers are said in a mosque in a particular form any Muslim belonging to any other sect can go into a mosque and say his prayers at the back of the congregation in the manner followed by him so long as he does not do anything 'mala fide' to disturb the others;
(5) the object of the dedication can neither be altered nor the beneficiaries limited or changed; and
(6) a Muslim will have a cause of action if he is deprived of his right to say prayers in a mosque or is prevented from doing so."
The court also dismissed the suit of plaintiffs with costs.

KSA, UAE eye $3bn Suez industrial city
Mar 05, 2016Economy
JEDDAH: A Saudi-UAE alliance involving a group of companies has submitted a request to the Economic Commission of the Suez Canal to obtain 5 million square feet to establish a $3 billion industrial city.
The alliance's representative, Ahmed Sabri, said the industrial city would have factories to manufacture various products, including food and cars. There would also be a business city and storage areas.
There would be about $300 million set aside for the basic infrastructure of the project, while up to $3 billion would be sought from investors to set up 120 factories and a complete city for businesses, he said.
According to Maj. Gen. Abdulqadir Darwish, deputy chairman of the Suez Canal commission, the aim is to carve out an area in Egypt free of bureaucracy, to drive economic growth.
He said the development plan for the Suez Canal would be completed before July and that the commission would have the mandate to set up projects that would create jobs for Egyptians.
The body would be empowered to pass regulations and laws that would protect the rights of investors and the state. The commission was finalizing a number of investment incentives and resolving outstanding issues.

If MS Dhoni plays, it would be easier for us – Kuldeep Yadav
Cricket | May 8, 2020
Indian chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav believes if MS Dhoni makes a comeback into International cricket, it will make their job easier. Dhoni is known to gauge what is going on in the mind of the batsman and he then directs his spinners what line and length they can bowl. In fact, both Kuldeep Yadav and Yuzvendra Chahal have often given credit to Dhoni for their development as spinners.
Dhoni is known to guide his spinners and he would come up with great tactics. The former skipper has all the experience under his belt and he is one of the shrewdest minds of the game. The wicket-keeper is always ahead in the game and his strategies are mostly master strokes.
Dhoni will often pass on information from behind the stumps, "Thoda upar daal skte h isko or agli ball pe marne ki koshish karega, bahar rakhna (You can bowl a tad fuller to him or he may try to hit on the next ball, so bowl a bit wide).
There is no doubt that both Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav have missed Dhoni's guidance from behind the stump in the last 10 months. Many times the stump mike has picked up Dhoni's guidelines and both the Indian wrist spinners have reaped fruits for the same.
On the other hand, Kuldeep Yadav personally feels Dhoni should once again play for the national side as he is still fit as a fiddle. However, many cricket pundits believe it is unlikely that we will once again see Dhoni playing in the blue jersey. Yadav added that the retirement decision is Dhoni's personal call.
"I am of course missing MS Dhoni. Whenever you play with a senior player, you become fond of them and start missing them and their presence." Kuldeep told Sportskeeda in a chat. "As far as his retirement is concerned, it is MS Dhoni's decision and it should be left to him. There is no point for us to debate on that. He is very fit and I personally feel he should play for India. As a fan, I absolutely love him. If he plays, it would be easier for us [India]."
Meanwhile, Kuldeep Yadav has done a great job in the white ball format. The left-arm spinner has thus far snared 104 wickets in 60 ODI matches and he has scalped 39 wickets in 20 T20I matches. Yadav has played only six Test matches in which he has taken 24 wickets. Hence, Uttar Pradesh spinner has impressed with his skills.

David Krakauer, né le  à New York, est un clarinettiste américain spécialisé dans la musique klezmer.

Il est l'une des figures emblématiques du renouveau du klezmer, le mariant au jazz, au blues, au rock, au funk et à la musique électronique, et mélangeant instruments traditionnels et instruments électriques. Membre de plusieurs groupes dont The Klezmatics, Klezmer Madness! ou Abraham Inc., il continue en parallèle ses collaborations avec des ensembles de musique classique et contemporaine.

Biographie
David Krakauer est né le  à New York dans une famille juive émigrée de Pologne et de Russie à la fin du . Sa mère est violoniste et donne des cours lors de stages en France, comme à Vaison-la-Romaine. À , le jugeant trop vieux pour apprendre le violon, elle lui donne le choix entre la flûte et la clarinette. Il choisira cette dernière.

En 1971, à l'âge de , il s'essaye au jazz et à l'improvisation, mais face à ses idoles Sidney Bechet et Coleman Hawkins, il trouve son style  et  et se réfugie dans la musique classique et contemporaine. À , il part en France étudier un an au conservatoire de Paris, de 1976 à 1977. En plus de la clarinette, il en profite pour améliorer son français qu'il parle désormais couramment. Il passe ensuite par la Juilliard School de New York où il a comme professeur le clarinettiste Léon Russianoff.

En 1979, à New York, il découvre le klezmer à travers des enregistrements de Dave Tarras, l'un des plus grands clarinettistes de klezmer du . Au milieu des années 1980, sous l'impulsion de Mikhaïl Gorbatchev, l'Europe de l'Est semble s'ouvrir et les concerts de clarinettistes originaires des pays de l'Est se multiplient. Ainsi en 1985, à Manhattan, il rentre dans un groupe de musiciens klezmer qui jouent devant le delicatessen Zabars. Il est alors remarqué par le groupe The Klezmatics qu'il rejoint en 1988. Il trouve donc sa voie en renouant avec l'improvisation et ses racines juives. Au début, le groupe lui demande un style klezmer des années 1930, différent de ce qu'il recherche, mais il finit par leur imposer son propre style, plus explosif.

En 1995, il crée son propre groupe Klezmer Madness!. Il fait alors rentrer le klezmer traditionnel dans l'ère du rock. Quelques années plus tard, en 1999, alors que la France connait un engouement pour le klezmer, il rencontre, lors du festival d'Amiens, Michel Orier qui lui propose de signer chez Label Bleu. Krakauer est de retour en France après plus de .

Avec son nouvel album A New Hot One sorti en 2000, son style musical prend une orientation plus électrique et funky. Il mélange guitare électrique, échantillonneur et séquenceur avec clarinette, accordéon et chophar. À partir de 2003, il s'associe avec le DJ Socalled. Les deux artistes sont rejoints en 2008 par l'ancien tromboniste de James Brown, Fred Wesley, pour former le groupe Abraham Inc. et sortent l'album Tweet Tweet l'année suivante.

En 2008, il crée son propre label : Table Pounding Records.

Collaborations
David Krakauer a collaboré avec de nombreux groupes et artistes tels que The Klezmatics, Fred Wesley, Socalled, Itzhak Perlman, , Leonard Slatkin, Anakronic electro orkestra et Iva Bittová. Plusieurs compositeurs ont écrit pour lui comme Danny Elfman, Osvaldo Golijov, David Del Tredici, John Zorn, George Tsontakis, Mohammed Fairouz et Wlad Marhulets. Il a également joué avec des quatuors tels que le Kronos Quartet, le Tokyo String Quartet et le Quatuor Emerson, mais aussi comme soliste notamment avec l'orchestre national de Lyon, l'orchestre symphonique de Madrid, le , l'orchestre philharmonique de Brooklyn, l'orchestre philharmonique de Dresde et l'orchestre symphonique de Détroit.

Il a composé pour le cinéma pour les films La Leçon de tango de Sally Potter en 1997 et Hôtel Woodstock d'Ang Lee en 2009.

Projets

Tweet-Tweet (2009)
En cherchant un nouveau style, il fait la rencontre de Fred Wesley, ancien tromboniste et directeur musical de James Brown. Les deux hommes s'entendent dès leur rencontre et de leur premier bœuf verra le jour ce qui deviendra l'un des morceaux de l'album : Baleboste: A Beautiful Picture. Il crée alors avec Fred Wesley et le DJ Socalled le groupe Abraham Inc., dont le nom vient du fait que selon Krakauer  Leur musique mêle les genres : klezmer, jazz, funk et hip-hop.

En 2009, Abraham Inc. sort l'album Tweet Tweet chez le label de David Krakauer, Table Pounding Records. Krakauer dédie le morceau Fred the Tzadik (Fred le Sage en hébreu) à Fred Wesley, lui témoignant son respect. Plusieurs chanteurs sont invités pour les accompagner.  rappe sur Tweet-Tweet et It's not the Same, la chanteuse  interprétant le refrain sur ce dernier titre. Matthew Flowers chante sur Hava Nagila avec , ancienne choriste de l'orchestre de Ike and Tina Turner; et le refrain de Push en duo avec Alicia Krakauer, fille de David Krakauer.

L'album atteint la première position en musique funk ainsi qu'en musique juive et yiddish, et la  des ventes de musique d'Amazon. Il est  de la section jazz du hit-parade publié par la revue Billboard. Le groupe se produit sur des scènes de prestige telles que l'Apollo Theater de New York, au festival de culture juive de Cracovie, aux Rencontres Trans Musicales de Rennes, ou encore au festival Jazz à la Villette.

Akoka (2012)
David Krakauer et le violoncelliste Matt Haimovitz rendent hommage en 2012 au clarinettiste Henri Akoka, à son évasion en train et à l'œuvre Quatuor pour la fin du Temps d'Olivier Messiaen, créé dans le camp de prisonniers de guerre Stalag VIII-A à Görlitz en 1941, dans le projet Akoka donnant lieu à un enregistrement en 2017 dans l'album  Akoka: Reframing Messiaen's Quartet For The End Of Time (label Pentagone) nominé au prix Juno.

Checkpoint (2014)
À la fin des années 1980, Krakauer se rend en Europe de l'Est sur les traces de ses ancêtres : ses grands-parents et arrière-grands-parents viennent de Pologne et Russie. Il reste marqué par les postes frontières (checkpoint) qu'il doit traverser, ce qui donnera le nom à son nouvel album.

Le , l'album Krakauer's Ancestral Groove : « Checkpoint » sort en France. Il est accompagné de Sheryl Bailey (guitare électrique), Jérome Harris (basse électrique), Michael Sarin (batterie) et Keepalive (sampler). Il y figure aussi des invités prestigieux : Marc Ribot à la guitare,  à l'orgue et Bob Curto à l'accordéon.

The Big Picture (2015)
Le projet The Big Picture (Le grand écran) consiste en un album et un spectacle. Krakauer revisite des thèmes célèbres de musique de film en rapport avec l'histoire juive tels que ceux composés par Marvin Hamlisch pour Le Choix de Sophie, Wojciech Kilar pour Le Pianiste, Ralph Burns et John Kander pour Cabaret, Jule Styne pour Funny Girl, Dimitri Tiomkin pour La vie est belle, ou encore Jerry Bock pour Un violon sur le toit. Sur scène, les musiques sont illustrées de petits films d'animation créés par la société d'effets spéciaux new-yorkaise Light of Day.
