Music + Revolution: Concert to Celebrate Songs from Greenwich Village in the 1960s at NYC's SummerStage
By Erik Philbrook, ASCAP Editor in Chief, with Jim Steinblatt • August 8, 2018
Jesse Colin Young, José Feliciano, Maria Muldaur, Nellie McKay, Melanie, Marshall Crenshaw and many more artists join host Richard Barone for a concert that pays tribute to the Greenwich Village scene that produced some of our most timeless and socially-relevant songs.
In the 1960s, NYC's Greenwich Village was fertile ground for a revolutionary shift in American music history. A new wave of songwriters and artists, inspired by the folk revival of the late 1950s, started writing and performing music there that was introspective, socially and politically aware and deeply personal. The songs that grew out of the scene launched careers and changed the culture; some resonated with audiences as powerfully as those in the Great American Songbook. They still do.
On August 12th, singer-songwriter Richard Barone, who pays tribute to that exciting era on his recent album Sorrows and Promises, will celebrate the lasting musical legacy of that pivotal decade with a free - and freewheeling - concert at Central Park's Summerstage called "Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s." The concert, which grew out of a course on the subject that Barone teaches at NYC's The New School, will feature an eclectic roster of artists from then and now, including ASCAP members Jesse Colin Young, Maria Muldaur, Steve Addabbo, Melanie, Marshall Crenshaw, José Feliciano, Nellie Mckay, Joe McGinty and others performing songs that still speak to audiences today, as well as introductions and commentary by Rolling Stone's Anthony DeCurtis and historian Stephen Petrus and additional cameo appearances.
We talked to several of the songwriters who are excited to participate in the concert, some who were influential artists in the Greenwich Village singer-songwriter scene, and others who are inspired by it. The following is their edited commentary.
MARIA MULDAUR
I grew up on 12th Street between 6th and 7th Avenues. I was in the right place at the right time. The Village was the epicenter of all things hip. A mecca for artists, musicians, sculptors, free spirits of all kinds. I grew up in the heart of that. It was when people in the urban North started discovering and exploring American roots music, most of which emanated from the rural South. Before you knew it, there was this ongoing hootenanny going on in Washington Square Park every Sunday -- people would be playing Bluegrass in one corner, and another group would be playing Old-Timey Appalachian music somewhere else and more people playing Delta Blues in another part of the park. And there was the Alan Block sandal shop scene (on 8th Street), with a lot of people playing fiddle and banjos; people like Mike Seeger and John Cohen of the New Lost City Ramblers. That's where I first met John Sebastian, who was going to NYU with David Grisman and they were also exploring all kinds of roots music. Next thing you know, they had put together The Even Dozen Jug Band with (Stefan Grossman, Steve Katz and Joshua Rifkin) and invited me to join in 1963. My Village chapter ended as I went on to the Jim Kweskin Jug Band – I'm still at it, onward and upward – and have just recorded my 41st album!
It was like being a little leaguer in a professional baseball park. That's a good analogy. One of the things that really was exciting about that time was how much you could do with just a voice, a song and a guitar.
My mom worked in Greenwich Village as a jazz singer. I'd go to the clubs with my mother and bring my guitar, play in the street and later in the little folk clubs where they passed the hat. I was always very shy; I don't even know how I got myself to go in and do it. I just sang and hardly talked. I sang in Washington Square Park and really got big crowds because my voice is so loud that the sheer volume attracted people. This was before all the technological things like amps running on a battery. I didn't have anything but my own inborn amplifier. I didn't even carry a guitar case – I just carried my guitar strapped to my back. That was the cool way.
JESSE COLIN YOUNG (THE YOUNGBLOODS)
My group, The Youngbloods, was one of the house bands at Café Au Go Go for almost a year. The main reason was that we could rehearse on their stage when the club was dark. One Sunday, I was in the Village walking and I thought maybe the Go Go is dark. And I ran down the stairs. It turned out they were having an "open mic." There was Buzz Linhart on stage and he was singing "Get Together." I went backstage and said, "I've got to have the lyrics, would you write them out for me?" I took the song into rehearsal with The Youngbloods the next day. I had met my future and was smart enough and lucky enough to recognize it. What were the chances that I would walk into that club and hear "Get Together?" Pretty slim, I'd say. The song is a treasure. There was magic in the studio – it's a five minute song, so there was no pressure to make a hit, so to speak. We just made a piece of musical art. There is something very pure about that recording. There was no hard sell. We just kind of put it forward – those beautiful musical ideas and those brilliant, poetic lyrics.
What I was getting as a kid in terms of folk music was the superficial stuff that was on Top 40. But then again, there was "Blowin' in the Wind" by Peter, Paul & Mary. That was an important song, not watered down like some of the folk stuff that didn't have much depth. As the 60s wore on, there were a lot of good protest songs that were anti-war and anti-oppression that got to be hit records. I think the music of the mid-60s also was rebellious. There were a lot of great writers of that time.

Well, I think it was an awakening. I think the drugs and the politics kind of collided and created a kaleidoscope of sound. And you can't take that out of the music. It informs the music and invigorates and creates it.
STEVE ADDABBO
I was a "popper" rather than a folkie or a rocker, although my very first guitar lessons were out of The Weavers' songbook. I was no great folk lover in my early days. I started playing guitar in 8th or 9th grade and the Beatles hit soon after that – and that pretty much took over my musical consciousness. Certainly, when James Taylor and Jackson Browne came in there was a change -- but I wanted to be lead guitar player in a band with long hair. When I was in college I was more exposed to Joni Mitchell and then discovered Eric Andersen, who used to play at Max's Kansas City. I later played with him and produced records for him but back then I was a fan and really loved his Blue River album. I was always drawn to the singer-songwriter style but not necessarily the heavy folkie stuff.
JOE McGINTY (MUSICAL DIRECTOR)
I don't know if there will ever be a scene in New York City like Greenwich Village again. Things are spread out a little too much now. But on the other hand, there are still young people moving here, and trying to be creative and make their music. I still see amazing performers. I still believe that people who really want to be here, find a way to make it work, whether they have to live in Queens or live with four other people. I don't think the scene is dead, like some believe, but I don't know whether we will ever see a juggernaut like we experienced back then.

RICHARD BARONE
I think the songs of that era are still really current and I think that having a mixed cast of age groups performing them at the concert makes it unique because so many of these shows turn out to be nostalgia events. This is about the enduring relevance of that music and why it should be considered, in my mind, part of the Great American Songbook.
I'll be doing a couple of songs by Richard and Mimi Fariña. One will be "Bold Marauder," about imperialism, which, again, is alive and well. Then the other one, "House Un-American Blues Activity Dream," is a reference to the first wave of McCarthyism. But now we are in a second wave of a kind.
I met a lot of people I only dreamed about: Peter, Paul and Mary, Bob Gibson. Believe it or not, Tiny Tim was there as well. And Tiny Tim had a partner whose name was Moondog. Buffy Ste-Marie, who at the time was living with a fellow named Pat Sky, who was a folksinger. Anybody could take a guitar then and be classified as a folk singer. In my case, it was a mistaken identity because I wasn't a folk guitar player. I could play guitar, to put it simply.
One theme we're celebrating is the idea of the singer-songwriter movement. It was a turning point in the music industry in the early '60s when, en masse, artists started writing their own songs. I mean, that was a major shift in the music industry. This idea of expressing yourself politically or just about relationships or sexual identity, all of these things, the Village was the birthplace of that.
I played the guitar, had long hair and wore those buffalo hide sandals with the thong in the middle, so I qualified as a beatnik folksinger. I wasn't entirely a folksinger because I had these other influences, like Billie Holiday, Peggy Lee, Edith Piaf and Lotte Lenya. You can hear a bit of Kurt Weill in some of my songs. I wanted to sound like Joan Baez – I tried but it never came out right. I loved Judy Henske – she had a belting voice. When I heard her, I thought there was hope for me. Her voice communicated so much passion, I can't believe people don't know her today.
I am connected with Suzanne Vega and her career – but I never really considered her folk. There were real diehards among the Fast Folk group who were Pete Seeger and Woody Guthrie followers and there were people like Suzanne and Shawn Colvin, who were bending the rules, using the format to express more personal and emotional subjects than political ones. When Suzanne had her success. I was happy to be part of it. For me, it was a nice confluence of lives coming together. We both needed each other. I was able to help her in the studio with her voice and talent and we got a major label deal. After "Luka" became a worldwide hit, I was able to purchase Shelter Island Sound Studios and also started working with Shawn Colvin and I met Eric Andersen and produced his album, Ghosts Upon the Road. Eric can't be part of our SummerStage show, but I'll be representing him and sing a duet of his "Close the Door Lightly When You Go" with Richard.
I'm going to perform a song Richard Barone chose for me, written by Phil Ochs – "I Ain't Marching Anymore." Phil Ochs was a righteous person who put himself in jeopardy for things he believed in. It will be good for my spirit to learn that song and sing it.
I live on Waverly Place in the Village. One thing about this neighborhood, and it's in the music that came out of it in the '60s, is that it's an old neighborhood, an immigrant neighborhood. My building was built back in 1868. That combination of the totally space-age '60s combined with something traditional and old is how we got this music. So many songwriters back then wrote in an older style. A lot of that was the folk revival but a lot of it was the way they were living because, to the writers in the '60s, it felt like 100 years earlier. So the Village songs had one foot in tradition and one foot in the modern world. That was a really important dynamic that happened. It created hit songs.
Music + Revolution: Greenwich Village in the 1960s will take place on Sunday, August 12th, 2018 from 7pm to 10pm at SummerStage, Central Park, Rumsey Playfield, Manhattan, 10021

Identify the challenges that farmers faced as they settled west of the Mississippi River
Describe the unique experiences of women who participated in westward migration
As settlers and homesteaders moved westward to improve the land given to them through the Homestead Act, they faced a difficult and often insurmountable challenge. The land was difficult to farm, there were few building materials, and harsh weather, insects, and inexperience led to frequent setbacks. The prohibitive prices charged by the first railroad lines made it expensive to ship crops to market or have goods sent out. Although many farms failed, some survived and grew into large "bonanza" farms that hired additional labor and were able to benefit enough from economies of scale to grow profitable. Still, small family farms, and the settlers who worked them, were hard-pressed to do more than scrape out a living in an unforgiving environment that comprised arid land, violent weather shifts, and other challenges (Figure 17.6).
Figure 17.6 This map shows the trails (orange) used in westward migration and the development of railroad lines (blue) constructed after the completion of the first transcontinental railroad.
THE DIFFICULT LIFE OF THE PIONEER FARMER
Of the hundreds of thousands of settlers who moved west, the vast majority were homesteaders. These pioneers, like the Ingalls family of Little House on the Prairie book and television fame (see inset below), were seeking land and opportunity. Popularly known as "sodbusters," these men and women in the Midwest faced a difficult life on the frontier. They settled throughout the land that now makes up the Midwestern states of Wisconsin, Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, and the Dakotas. The weather and environment were bleak, and settlers struggled to eke out a living. A few unseasonably rainy years had led would-be settlers to believe that the "great desert" was no more, but the region's typically low rainfall and harsh temperatures made crop cultivation hard. Irrigation was a requirement, but finding water and building adequate systems proved too difficult and expensive for many farmers. It was not until 1902 and the passage of the Newlands Reclamation Act that a system finally existed to set aside funds from the sale of public lands to build dams for subsequent irrigation efforts. Prior to that, farmers across the Great Plains relied primarily on dry-farming techniques to grow corn, wheat, and sorghum, a practice that many continued in later years. A few also began to employ windmill technology to draw water, although both the drilling and construction of windmills became an added expense that few farmers could afford.
The Enduring Appeal of Little House on the Prairie
The story of western migration and survival has remained a touchstone of American culture, even today. The television show Frontier Life on PBS is one example, as are countless other modern-day evocations of the settlers. Consider the enormous popularity of the Little House series. The books, originally published in the 1930s and 1940s, have been in print continuously. The television show, Little House on the Prairie, ran for over a decade and was hugely successful. Despite its popularity, Little House on the Prairie has created controversy more recently for its derogatory references to the Osage people. The books, although fictional, were based on Laura Ingalls Wilder's own childhood, as she travelled west with her family via covered wagon, stopping in Kansas, Wisconsin, South Dakota, and beyond (Figure 17.7).
Figure 17.7 Laura Ingalls Wilder (a) is the celebrated author of the Little House series, which began in 1932 with the publication of Little House in the Big Woods. The third, and best known, book in the series, Little House on the Prairie (b), was published just three years later.
Wilder wrote of her stories, "As you read my stories of long ago I hope you will remember that the things that are truly worthwhile and that will give you happiness are the same now as they were then. Courage and kindness, loyalty, truth, and helpfulness are always the same and always needed." While Ingalls makes the point that her stories underscore traditional values that remain the same over time, this is not necessarily the only thing that made these books so popular. Perhaps part of their appeal is that they are adventure stories featuring encounters with severe weather, wild animals, and Native peoples. Does this explain their ongoing popularity? What other factors might make these stories appealing so long after they were originally written?
The first houses built by western settlers were typically made of mud and sod with thatch roofs, as there was little timber for building. Rain, when it arrived, presented constant problems for these sod houses, with mud falling into food, and vermin, most notably lice, scampering across bedding (Figure 17.8). Weather patterns not only left the fields dry, they also brought tornadoes, droughts, blizzards, and insect swarms. Tales of swarms of locusts were commonplace, and the crop-eating insects would at times cover the ground six to twelve inches deep. One frequently quoted Kansas newspaper reported a locust swarm in 1878 during which the insects devoured "everything green, stripping the foliage off the bark and from the tender twigs of the fruit trees, destroying every plant that is good for food or pleasant to the eye, that man has planted."
Figure 17.8 Sod houses were common in the Midwest as settlers moved west. There was no lumber to gather and no stones with which to build. These mud homes were vulnerable to weather and vermin, making life incredibly hard for the newly arrived homesteaders.
Farmers also faced the ever-present threat of debt and farm foreclosure by the banks. While land was essentially free under the Homestead Act, all other farm necessities cost money and were initially difficult to obtain in the newly settled parts of the country where market economies did not yet fully reach. Horses, livestock, wagons, wells, fencing, seed, and fertilizer were all critical to survival, but often hard to come by as the population initially remained sparsely settled across vast tracts of land. Railroads charged notoriously high rates for farm equipment and livestock, making it difficult to procure goods or make a profit on anything sent back east. Banks also charged high interest rates, and, in a cycle that replayed itself year after year, farmers would borrow from the bank with the intention of repaying their debt after the harvest. As the number of farmers moving westward increased, the market price of their produce steadily declined, even as the value of the actual land increased. Each year, hard-working farmers produced ever-larger crops, flooding the markets and subsequently driving prices down even further. Although some understood the economics of supply and demand, none could overtly control such forces.
Eventually, the arrival of a more extensive railroad network aided farmers, mostly by bringing much-needed supplies such as lumber for construction and new farm machinery. While John Deere sold a steel-faced plow as early as 1838, it was James Oliver's improvements to the device in the late 1860s that transformed life for homesteaders. His new, less expensive "chilled plow" was better equipped to cut through the shallow grass roots of the Midwestern terrain, as well as withstand damage from rocks just below the surface. Similar advancements in hay mowers, manure spreaders, and threshing machines greatly improved farm production for those who could afford them. Where capital expense became a significant factor, larger commercial farms—known as "bonanza farms"—began to develop. Farmers in Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota hired migrant farmers to grow wheat on farms in excess of twenty thousand acres each. These large farms were succeeding by the end of the century, but small family farms continued to suffer. Although the land was nearly free, it cost close to $1000 for the necessary supplies to start up a farm, and many would-be landowners lured westward by the promise of cheap land became migrant farmers instead, working other peoples' land for a wage. The frustration of small farmers grew, ultimately leading to a revolt of sorts, discussed in a later chapter.

AN EVEN MORE CHALLENGING LIFE: A PIONEER WIFE
Although the West was numerically a male-dominated society, homesteading in particular encouraged the presence of women, families, and a domestic lifestyle, even if such a life was not an easy one. Women faced all the physical hardships that men encountered in terms of weather, illness, and danger, with the added complication of childbirth. Often, there was no doctor or midwife providing assistance, and many women died from treatable complications, as did their newborns. While some women could find employment in the newly settled towns as teachers, cooks, or seamstresses, they originally did not enjoy many rights. They could not sell property, sue for divorce, serve on juries, or vote. And for the vast majority of women, their work was not in towns for money, but on the farm. As late as 1900, a typical farm wife could expect to devote nine hours per day to chores such as cleaning, sewing, laundering, and preparing food. Two additional hours per day were spent cleaning the barn and chicken coop, milking the cows, caring for the chickens, and tending the family garden. One wife commented in 1879, "[We are] not much better than slaves. It is a weary, monotonous round of cooking and washing and mending and as a result the insane asylum is a third filled with wives of farmers."
Despite this grim image, the challenges of farm life eventually empowered women to break through some legal and social barriers. Many lived more equitably as partners with their husbands than did their eastern counterparts, helping each other through both hard times and good. If widowed, a wife typically took over responsibility for the farm, a level of management that was very rare back east, where the farm would fall to a son or other male relation. Pioneer women made important decisions and were considered by their husbands to be more equal partners in the success of the homestead, due to the necessity that all members had to work hard and contribute to the farming enterprise for it to succeed. Therefore, it is not surprising that the first states to grant women's rights, including the right to vote, were those in the Pacific Northwest and Upper Midwest, where women pioneers worked the land side by side with men. Some women seemed to be well suited to the challenges that frontier life presented them. Writing to her Aunt Martha from their homestead in Minnesota in 1873, Mary Carpenter refused to complain about the hardships of farm life: "I try to trust in God's promises, but we can't expect him to work miracles nowadays. Nevertheless, all that is expected of us is to do the best we can, and that we shall certainly endeavor to do. Even if we do freeze and starve in the way of duty, it will not be a dishonorable death."

Pentagon defends defense secretary's call to 'dominate the battle space' in response to civil unrest
Esper's words drew criticism from retired military officers and Congress.
ByElizabeth McLaughlin and Luis Martinez

The Pentagon is defending Defense Secretary Mark Esper's use of the term "battle space," following criticism from retired military officers and congressional leadership about the term and the possible domestic deployment of the active duty military.
In a call with President Donald Trump and governors on Monday -- a recording of which was obtained by ABC News, Esper urged states "to dominate the battle space" so that civil unrest "dissipates and we can get back to the right normal."
Over the last week, thousands of Americans have peacefully protested systemic racial inequality sparked by the death of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer. But looting and riots in many American cities have caused states to activate the National Guard to support law enforcement -- with the president threatening to deploy the active duty military to quell the violence.

Two retired four-star generals took the rare step of publicly condemning Esper's comments on Monday, arguing the language was inappropriate to describe the current situation.
"The 'battle space' of America???" tweeted ret. Army Gen. Tony Thomas, who led U.S. Special Operations Command. " Not what America needs to hear...ever, unless we are invaded by an adversary or experience a constitutional failure...ie a Civil War..."
Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Martin Dempsey expressed a similar sentiment, tweeting, "America is not a battleground. Our fellow citizens are not the enemy."
Asked about Esper's use of the term "battle space," a senior defense official, who declined to be identified, told Pentagon reporters on Tuesday that the "DOD often communicates in a parlance unique to the profession of arms."
"He was using the terms that we have," the official said. "Nothing should be read into the use of that term to denote anything other than it's a common term to denote the area we are operating in."
Esper served 10 years in the U.S. Army on active duty and another 11 years in the National Guard and Army Reserve.

A former senior administration official told ABC News that congressional leaders on both sides of the aisle have privately expressed concerns about Esper's words because they could be seen as laying the groundwork for the invocation of the Insurrection Act of 1807, which allows the president to deploy active duty troops within the United States under limited circumstances. The president would have to invoke the act because the active duty military -- unlike the National Guard -- is barred from carrying out law enforcement activities under Posse Comitatus Act.
MORE: What is the Insurrection Act and why has it been invoked before?
On Tuesday, Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, called on Esper and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley to testify before his committee next week to explain the role they envision the U.S. military playing in response to protests.
He also told reporters that language like "battle space" is "deeply concerning in terms of how the U.S. military would be used for domestic law enforcement," though he had not personally spoken to Esper about it.
Later on Tuesday, Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Texas, joined Smith's call for Esper and Milley to testify -- though only if the Insurrection Act was invoked, saying he was "concerned ... it would be all too easy to put our men and women in uniform in the middle of a domestic political and cultural crisis" and that "discussions regarding the Insurrection Act could easily make them political pawns."
As of Tuesday, governors in 28 states and the District of Columbia had activated more than 20,400 National Guard members to assist state and local law enforcement operations, according to the National Guard.

But overnight, elements of the 82nd Airborne Division, along with active duty military police units from Fort Bragg, Fort Drum and Fort Riley, staged at Joint Base Andrews outside of the nation's capital in case they were requested, according to two U.S. officials.
"The decision to use active military forces in crowd control in the United States should only be made as a last resort," said ABC News analyst Mick Mulroy, a retired Marine and former deputy assistant secretary of defense for the Middle East.
"The National Guard is fully capable and trained for these operations. They are from these communities and likely have been activated many times to support people after fires, hurricanes, or pandemics. Some of the people they helped are the ones protesting. Active Army and Marine Corps units are trained to fight our nation's enemies, not their fellow Americans."

Shipping was also a very high risk speculation as ships might take years to reach a destination and return and many never did return.
The sailors and officers who manned the ship also worked on a percentage and they were not paid until the ship returned home and the cargo was sold.
Most of these spoons were made in the late 19th century or early 20th century. The styling often seems to indicate that they came from a former time period.
The idea of using a large ship on a spoon is derived from the custom of having a huge silver and gold and jeweled nef as the centerpiece of the dining table.

In 2017, we told you about new Health and Wellbeing Community Hubs launched in Hastings and Bexhill.
The Hubs are the result of joint working between local voluntary and community organisations, and NHS Hastings and Rother CCG's Healthy Hastings and Rother Programme, which aims to reduce health inequalities in the area.
One year down the line, find out how the Hubs are helping their local communities.
The Hubs are based in North East Hastings, North West Hastings, Central St Leonards, Central Bexhill and Sidley.
The Hubs have a wealth of knowledge on what's happening in the community, run free courses, host events and have a range of volunteering opportunities. Volunteers are an extremely important part of the Hubs' success, and now lead a number of workshops, from crafts to music, and drop in sessions to link people to local services.
Both Bexhill Hubs – The Charter and The Pelham – have seen their local communities and organisations become increasingly involved in Hub life, and offer a broad range of volunteer run projects.
At The Charter you can learn to cook with "Man With A Pan", join Rainbow Alliance supper clubs, visit the community cafe and enjoy one-off events. Soon the Hub will be working closely with the local food bank and on projects to support homeless people.
At The Pelham you can get active with the Green Gym, Family Fun Fitness and Walk2Run, or visit the Coffee Lounge. The Coffee Lounge also provides free hot meals as a gift to those who are receiving food parcels from the Bexhill Foodbank. Recently The Pelham also successfully secured £105,000 of capital funding from the Biffa Award and the Rother Community Grant Scheme Council to improve the Hub building itself.
Looking ahead, the Hubs will continue to establish closer links with local GP practices and continue their work to secure funding to support future health and wellbeing activities that will benefit their communities.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has halted an initial coin offering and charged its founders with "orchestrating a fraudulent initial coin offering," the regulator said Monday night.
While the ICO startup claimed the funds would go toward developing financial products backed by Visa and Mastercard, the SEC said Centra had no relationship with either payment card network. The agency further stated that Sharma and Farkas created false marketing material, including fictional executives.
Notably, the SEC also alleges that the founders paid celebrities to promote the ICO. These celebrities appear to include boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who endorsed Centra in September 2017, though his Instagram post has since been removed.
Centra and its co-founders were also the targets of a class-action lawsuit filed in December 2017, which claimed that the startup's CTR token was essentially an unregistered security.
The SEC said both Sharma and Farkas were arrested and charged by law enforcement officers.


It is clear that need for regulatory considerations, special handling and volume shipments of pharmaceutical products require detailed planning. This allows for shipping of pharmaceutical products from the pharmaceutical manufacturer to the healthcare provider in the correct environmental conditions so to ensure that the products are not compromised. Importantly pharmaceutical products must be packed in suitable material, monitored by approved temperature monitoring equipment, and also the method of transit must meet regulatory standards with a high degree of assurance. The term 'cold chain' does not only refer to the packaging of pharmaceutical products in insulated containers (including approved quantity of refrigeration) but also include its transport and storage at final destination.
Each component of the cold chain should be measured, analysed, qualified and understood to guarantee the patients safety, quality of product, and preserve the products potency. For this reason there should be documented procedures describing the proper procedures for each step of the cold chain. Staff should be trained in the proper handling, storage and temperature monitoring procedures which must also included the proper use of temperature monitoring equipment. Finally staff should be able to react to emergencies that may result in storage temperature deviation from the recommended temperature range.
Critical to product safety is the equipment used for monitoring storage temperature during transit. Following is two case studies demonstrating the ease by which failures of cold chain management may occur.
Suppose that the temperature monitor for the pharmaceutical product shipment shows that the storage temperature exceeded 8°C for the entire duration. Inspection determined that the product has been packed in the correct container with the recommended configuration. All previous shipments have been shipped without any problems; that is there was no deviation in the recommended 2°-8°C temperature ranges. Examination of historical transit data shows that the gel pack configuration and insulated container performed to specification during the winter. Temperature ranges for the product shipment was within the recommended range and therefore the configuration was accepted.
However when the pharmaceutical product was shipped during spring time the ambient temperature was much higher resulting in the configuration not having adequate cooling capacity to keep the temperature within the container within range. In addition the container did not have enough insulating material with the effect that the higher external temperature conducted heat more easily into the insulated container. The validation procedures did not take into account all variables that may have effect on the product in transit during the year. Clearly any validation procedure should take into account the worst-case temperature exposure conditions that may occur. Therefore when compiling protocols for the transportation of pharmaceutical products the lowest and highest ambient temperature should be considered.
A pharmaceutical shipment has been prepared using the recommended configuration from the pharmaceutical manufacturer and a qualified container. However the temperature monitoring device showed that the shipment temperature was higher than the recommended maximum temperature allowed. For this particular product the recommended temperature range should not deviate from the recommended temperature range of 2°- 8°C. Upon inspection it was found that the proper insulated container was used, recommended quantity was not exceeded, correct refrigerants were used, and the product was packed with the proper configuration.
To the packer the refrigerants felt cold therefore no one suspected that the refrigerants were not cooled sufficiently to ensure adequate cooling capacity. It was subsequently found that the refrigerants were not kept at the required temperature during packing.
Consequently by not keeping the refrigerant at the required temperature, cold or frozen, for a sufficient amount of time, the refrigerants outer layer may feel cold but may not internally be at a uniform temperature. When refrigerating refrigerants it is recommended that the refrigerants are refrigerated or frozen for several days prior to use. Protocols should specify the exact procedures for the preparation of refrigerants. Protocols should include information such as the correct storage temperature ranges and the length of time to be stored in refrigeration before used in shipments.
By simply feeling or measuring the external temperature of the refrigerants are not sufficient to guarantee adequate transportation temperatures.
Temperature monitoring equipment is vital in ensuring that the cold chain is preserved during transport and storage of pharmaceutical products. Deviation from manufacturers recommended storage temperatures may have a detrimental effect on the safety and effectiveness of stored pharmaceutical products. The only effective way of monitoring temperatures within storage units/containers is by way of temperature monitoring equipment. Most providers require records indicating temperature ranges during transportation. For this reason temperature monitoring equipment manufacturers provide an extensive range of continuous monitoring devices, digital data loggers, and temperature alarms.
Temperature alarms only sound if the cooling/refrigeration unit temperatures exceed the predefined temperature range. Most are programmable but do not record temperatures. Temperature alarms may be fitted to cooling and refrigeration units and also insulated containers. However temperature alarms are only effective when responded to promptly.
Digital data loggers continuously records temperature. Data loggers are programmable allowing temperature readings to be recorded at set intervals. These reading may be downloaded to a personal computer for review. Readings may be included in records to ensure that the "cold chain" has not been broken at any stage.
Built in temperature alarm warning that temperatures are out-of-range. Any deviation even for a short time may compromise the integrity of pharmaceutical products.
Ability to record at least 4000 temperature readings.
Readings should including maximum, minimum and current temperatures.
Must be able to interface with a personal computer or preferably tablet.
Superior accuracy, able to record temperatures to within +/- 0.5°C.
Capable of recording short and long term temperature readings.
Clearly determining the special requirements for handling cold chain pharmaceutical products are numerous and challenging. Issues such as environmental conditions, proper refrigeration of refrigerants, duration of transit, temperature monitoring equipment, and the correct insulated storage container play a major role in the viability of the delivered product. However these special requirements are manageable by adhering to the proper protocols. With this in mind making use of the proper temperature monitoring equipment will have a positive effect in the management of complex interacting parts.
Temperature monitoring equipment is the only effective method for monitoring and recording temperatures during transport and storage ensuring that the cold chain has not been broken at any stage.

Behind the Scenes: Tyler Perry & Oprah Winfrey's Newest TV Lineup
Written By: Erica Taylor, The Tom Joyner Morning Show
Last week ,the casts of both Tyler Perry and Oprah Winfrey's newest lineup, "The Haves & Have Nots" and the new sitcom "Love Thy Neighbor" were presented in a vast media setting in Beverly Hills' prestigious SLS Hotel. The new joint venture comes as a product of two entertainment masterminds joining together to produce original programming, tailored to a growing audience at the Oprah Winfrey Network.
"The Haves and Have Nots" is a dramatic scripted presentation written, directed and produced by Tyler Perry, featuring the lives of the Cryer family, who represent "The Haves." The Cryers are not only wealthy, but appear to be rich with family secrets and schemes. As the story unfolds within the mansion walls, the family that represents the other side of the title, "The Have Nots" deals with their own web of deception. It appears that money, power and respect represent both sides of the game in this dramatic plot. Fresh off the set of "Tyler Perry's A Madea Christmas," Tika Sumpter ("Sparkle") stars as Candace Young, the daughter of Hanna, the housekeeper of the Cryer family. A determined woman, Candace holds an inner thirst for a richer lifestyle and will do what she needs to get what she wants. "She's not trying to be someone she's not, she's just trying to be someone" according to Sumpter, during an intimate press interview at the OWN properties.
Sumpter is no stranger to dramatic roles in daytime television. She starred as Layla Williamson in television's "One Life to Live" for over five years. During her interview, Sumpter commented on a comparison of her character in "The Haves & Have Nots" and the dramatic role of Kerry Washington as Olivia Pope in ABC's "Scandal". "Olivia Pope is on her dream board," says Sumpter of her character, Candace Young. "What I love is that Kerry busted through the door for other people to have the opportunity to lead a show." Sumpter tapped into the spirit of her former co-star, the late Whitney Houston, who's early advice is relevant for the Tyler-haters that exist among viewers."If you're gonna read the positive reviews, you gotta read the negative ones too."
In conjunction with the new scripted dramatic show, Perry opens up a new comedy called "Love Thy Neighbor," with a closer lens on Ms. Hattie Mae Love (Patrice Lovely), a beloved character from his successful stage plays. The show stars Kendra C. Johnson (Phat Girlz, The Game) as Linda, Hattie Mae's daughter on "Love They Neighbor." Linda prides herself for raising her son Danny (Andre Hall), who might be characterized as a gentleman and a mama's boy, while dealing with her philandering husband. While the on set mother-son relationship thrives between Linda and Danny, the two actors vibe like kin-folk off screen as well. Johnson loved being cast in the role of Linda, a loving mother, mostly because she is that in real life with her own college-aged daughter. She expressed her thankfulness for being able to serve as a role model through her work with Tyler Perry, and also through her philanthropic efforts as the Empowerment Editor for Plus Model Magazine, which celebrates the fabulousness of curvy women in America. Her previous work in acting included serving as a stand-in and body double for Queen Latifah, an opportunity in which she learned both sides of the camera. During her interview, Johnson was a woman always on the verge of tears, thankful for the opportunity to be a part of Perry and Winfrey's new age in comedy.
Other newcomers that will be a part of the OWN experience include:
"The Haves & the Have Nots'"
Aaron O'Connell as "Wyatt"
Angela Robinson as "Veronica"
Eva Tamargo as "Celine"
Gavin Houston as "Jefferey"
Crystal Fox as "Hanna"
Jaclyn Betham as "Amanda"
Jonathan Schneider as "Jim"
Peter Parros as "David"

World Trade Center (1973 – 2001)
In addition to my love of transportation, I also always have fond memories of the late lamented Twin Towers of the World Trade Center. For 28 years these two gleaming structures of glass and steel defined the Lower Manhattan skyline, beaming brightly in both the day and night as symbols of hope, economic stability, human innovation and our natural ingenuity.
Sadly the 'Towers that would last a thousand years' were abruptly torn from us by pure evil in one of the most sadistic attacks in world history, and today only two holes in the ground next to the new World Trade Center complex remind us of what was there originally. Though most images of the Twin Towers you'll see today show their death, I prefer to remind us of the glorious 28 years of life these two iconic buildings lived, through rain, through sleet, through sun, through snow.
I dedicate this page to the victims of both the 1993 bombing of the World Trade Center, and the attacks of September 11th, 2001. We shall remember them.
All images available for sale on my Redbubble account, click the images or titles to visit!
With the sun setting over the distant skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan, the shadows have already fallen on Grand Army Plaza in Brooklyn, with the ornate and beautiful Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch standing at the centre of the plaza.
The Soldiers' and Sailors' Arch was erected between 1889 and 1892, being officially dedicated on October 21st of that year. The arch was built to commemorate the sacrifice of Union soldiers and sailors during the American Civil War of 1861 to 1865, and forms the main entrance to Prospect Park. Arranged around it are Vanderbilt and Flatbush Avenues, with Flatbush Avenue eventually leading directly to the Manhattan Bridge. On the Manhattan side of the bridge, the arch is reflected somewhat by the triumphal arch and colonnade leading into the magnificent island metropolis
Sunset on the Skyline
Another quick drawing for a rainy Sunday afternoon in January, depicting a lovely summers eve against the radiant skyscrapers of Lower Manhattan.
Roll on into Dusk
It's been a while since I did one of my Manhattan drawings, but here we are again in the Big Apple, as the sun sets behind the classic New York skyline at the end of another busy day.
Again, working MS Paint hard to create those hues in the sky, but I feel it came to the desired effect overall. 🙂
High Above it All
This was an interesting, if not cruelly ironic, one to create.
The inspiration for drawing this particular work came from when I was searching Wikipedia and encountered the theatrical poster are for the 1974 film The Towering Inferno. In that artwork there is a striking view down the stricken, fictitious skyscraper, a clear testament to the magnitude and scale of the film it promoted.
Thus, the idea came to me that I'd recreate this artwork appropriately for the World Trade Center's Twin Towers (minus the smoke and flames). Instead of being an image of devastation I intended to create a work that showed the towers in their heyday, looming above the city streets hundreds of feet below.
Broadway is dark tonight
I've never really done a truly festive scene in my artwork, so I decided to challenge myself to make one.
Here we look down West Broadway just north of Tribeca Park, with a gloomy sky and the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center forming the backdrop of this snowy scene on the streets of New York.
From out of the Mist
Here we have the beautiful Lower Manhattan skyline, smothered in the golden rays of the morning sun as another busy day begins.
Another day breaks for the World Trade Center as the sun glistens magnificently from its shiny aluminium and steel facade, leaving smaller buildings in the shadows.
A Night on the Town
I'd been considering doing something like this for years. I did in fact do one of these as a sketch about 10 years ago, but since then my attempts at doing Lower Manhattan from this classic angle with the Brooklyn Bridge in the foreground never seemed to satisfy me. However, last week I finally decided I'd hit this particular nail on the head, and this is the result.
Surprisingly, doing this particular work was very fun and quite therapeutic to do. Basically starting with a black outline of the city, I pretty much went from building to building to add the lights, then smudged them to give them a pleasing glow effect similar to that of an old picture rather than being too crisp. Then simply superimposing onto a pre-prepared late-evening sky and the result, to my mind, is better than I'd hoped for.
A little project I did over a couple of weeks but had to put on hold due to a holiday, depicts old-town New York City on a beautiful sunny morning, silhouetting the iconic skyline of a truly great city.
16 acre Ant Farm
Now this took a long, long, long time, having to get every individual piece of the World Trade Center and the surrounding city, together with people, cars, boats, even the tiniest pebble! But I feel it was worth the three-weeks of on/off effort!
Two months of researching, sketches, painting and finishing off to create this gigantic homage to the old World Trade Center. I have gone very much out of my way to make this image as factually accurate as possible. All 110 floors within each of the Twin Towers is accounted for, people mooching about on the Plaza and Observation Deck, even the tiniest pebble I have taken pride in putting in the right place. I personally feel this has been completely worth it, and am really quite satisfied with the result.
Long way up
It's surprising how tall those buildings actually were. Doing the reflections on this one was a challenge, but I think I got them just right.
Say you will, say you dare…
It had been a long time since I sat down and drew one of these, but after many hours with the paintbrush to make that sky and dabbling away with the water to give it that reflective tint.

Wait wait … don't edit me!
Bob Collins August 17, 2010, 10:27 AM Aug 17, 2010
You know what would make a good topic for "Wait Wait… Don't Tell Me!"? A story about a guy who wrote a play with the words "for God's sake" in it — a play that was to be used by schools in Texas as part of the English curriculum testing — and then the deal falls apart because the writer refused to take out "for God's sake."
It's a true story that's happened to Peter Sagal, host of "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!".
The Fort Worth Star Telegram has the story today:
Sagal complained on his blog that the request was irrational and indicative of Texas' reputation as "the state that's leading the charge back into the middle ages in terms of educational standards."
Sagal told the Star-Telegram that he has followed the State Board of Education's various curriculum debates for years.
"We had a joke on the show about them excising Thomas Jefferson," Sagal said, referring to a controversy earlier this year in which the state board cut Jefferson from a section on influential philosophers in its social studies standards. The board later put Jefferson back in. After struggling with the issue and getting advice from fans via Twitter and his blog, Sagal decided that whether or not Texas schoolchildren read his play didn't have anything to do with his difference of opinion regarding other aspects of the state's curriculum.
"I don't think I was going to help the cause of improving the education in Texas, if that's something I could even imagine doing, by keeping my play from Texas students," Sagal said.

Piano Sonata No. 1. Opus 1.
This website exhibits recordings and music in the classical tradition from an amateur pianist and composer, myself. I composed, performed and recorded, and publishing these pieces for three reasons.
First, when I recorded these performances I knew that I was playing the best that I will ever play: these are vain snapshots of the zenith of my life's work in pianism.
Second, as fans we express our appreciation as criticism, financial support, or creation in tribute. I think that composing or performing, inspired by someone's work, is the sincerest and most lasting expression of appreciation. I share my love of the classical tradition to sympathetic listener.
Third, I believe that virtuosity is not prerequisite to integrity. That a musical utterance is worthwhile if it demonstrates integrity. That we amateurs can achieve a worthwhile degree of musical integrity if we think like craftsmen. That amateur expression is essential to the vitality of the classical tradition. I hope that the recordings here are simple, honest, and useful, like a good chair. The recordings lack the alluring spectacle of virtuosity, but give pleasure with their honest craftsmanship. So lastly, this work is a proposal, by example, for how amateurs can participate in the classical music tradition through modest tempos, earnest craftsmanship, and self publishing.
As of August 2005, I consider this my finest composition in terms of emotional intensity and directness of expression.
In January of 2005, I began taking lessons from the composer and professor Larry Bell at the New England Conservator of Music. For the first three months, each lesson was the highlight of my week. I worked every evening composing into the night preparing for the next lesson. For the first few pieces, he provided strict restrictions to ease the composition process. This piece was the first I composed without the aid of his finely designed frameworks. I composed this to express longing.
Recorded live on 5 June 2005 at the New England Conservatory of Music with Anna Anderson on the violin and me on the piano.
Lacking experience in larger forms, I drafted an abbreviated version of the Adagio for piano only.
In this conventionally tonal piece, the note middle C is never allowed to stop sounding. I find it the piece conservative but not without charm.
Composed on 1 February 2005.
1 minute 30 second recording.
It took me seven takes to make my recording of Beethoven's first sonata. After completing that seventh take, I sat at the piano ruminating about the performance trying to decide if I needed to do another take. I played this improvisation in the midst of those thoughts.
I often find many of my improvisations become trite upon repeated listening. Often, I begin to discern the technique I used and it loses its mystery for me. This one, however; has resisted that fate. After playing this, I decided I was too tired to do another take.
Recorded in the studio on 14 February 2002.
After the completion of my first Piano Sonata, I organized a concert to present my music in July of 1999. I invited the Chinese community at Microsoft as well as my friends, anticipating a small group of friends to come. To my surprise and great gratitude, many people came to support me.
I decided to compose more music for the occasion and wrote this and the Wind Quintet. Before discovering "serious music", I loved jazz exclusively. I wrote this piece to remember that time in my life.
The recording is a mix of a recording of my Yamaha console piano and a GigaSampler bass.
I find it painful to listen to my older pieces. The passage of time makes what I thought was daring seem prosaic now. What I felt was the height of severity now seems only conservative, what was my most violent expression now comes across only as an emphatic gesture.
Still, composing this sonata was a milestone achievement for me. With my father dying in the hospital with aortic aneurysm, I decided to begin to work towards what I hoped to achieve in my life. I wanted to create beauty and so I began to learn at a feverish pace.
I studied Beethoven's piano sonatas. I studied photography and painting. I composed and photographed. I began to learn what I valued most in life.
A year later, I had my first sonata and a few good photographs.
Composed from January 1998 to January 1999.

Photos 70 Years, 70 Innovations I: Tackle
70 Years, 70 Innovations I: Tackle
By Ben2
A lot has changed since the first issue of Salt Water Sportsman rolled off the press in June of 1939. When we sat down to compile this list, we realized what a daunting task lay ahead of us. Finding 70 items to write about wasn't the problem at all – limiting ourselves to only 70 was. Many milestones have occurred in the past seven decades, and we're sure to have missed some of your favorites. After polling the SWS staff and all of our many contributors, here's the list we came up with. Enjoy! Part II: Boat Stuff
Part III: Electronics
ARTIFICIAL TROLLING LURES In the late 1950s, Southern California angler Cliff Brignall returned from Hawaii with the Kona Head and the rights to manufacture it. It was the first troller to use artificial skirting (the same material used on folding chairs in the '50s) rather than feathers.
ANTI-REVERSE FLY REELS About 1950, Bob McChristian of Miami, Florida, was fed up with destroying his tackle on tarpon in Government Cut. To remedy his problem, he developed the Seamaster – the first anti-reverse fly reel.
BALL BEARING SWIVELS In 1948, Oney Johnson in Daly City, California, patented the first ball bearing swivel and founded Sampo.
BRAIDED "SUPERLINES" It wasn't until the '80s that Spectra was developed and introduced as fishing line by Allied-Signal Corp., now Honeywell. Another gel-spun polymer, marketed as Dyneema by the Dutch company DVM, appeared at about the same time.
CERAMIC ROD GUIDES In 1970, Fuji eliminated concerns about the pitting that plagued metal rod guides and the cracking and chipping problems of agate by using tough, synthetic ceramic.
CIRCLE HOOKS The origins of the circle hook lie in antiquity. Modern circle hooks, long used in commercial fishing, gained popularity among recreational anglers in the 1990s. This shift was concurrent with the groundswell of release practices and conservation ethics that was growing among saltwater anglers.
COMPOSITE DRAG MATERIAL A company called Kinetic Chemicals (later acquired by DuPont) patented the fluorocarbon now known as Teflon in 1941, but it was used in fishing tackle mostly as a lubricant. Teflon drag washers for Penn Internationals appeared in the late 1980s, but in 1985, Penn introduced the HT100 drag, a graphite composite and the first of its kind.
DACRON LINE Dacron, a polyester developed by DuPont, was offered as braided fishing line in Gudebrod's product catalog for 1953-54.
DREDGES AND SPREADER BARS Captain Bob Mayo of Provincetown, Massachusetts, reportedly built the first spreader bar teasers in the 1960s, rigged with multiple natural baits to imitate a school of bait fish and attract tuna.
FIBERGLASS FISHING RODS Shakespeare introduced the newest innovation in fishing rods during 1946. This innovation was the glass-fiber Wonderod, which revolutionized the fishing rod market and made bamboo and steel virtually obsolete in salt water.
MODERN FLY LINES Scientific Anglers developed the first plastic-coated, tapered fly line, which unlike braided silk lines, did not have to be constantly cleaned and dried in order to float. The Cortland 333 floating lines appeared on the market in 1953, and Scientific Anglers introduced the floating Air Cel in 1954.
NYLON MONOFILAMENT When DuPont, which invented nylon a couple of years earlier, began marketing monofilament fishing lines, they weren't widely accepted. The early material was stiff and difficult to handle and cast, though it had great knot strength and was harder for fish to see. In 1939 DuPont introduced Stren, which was softer and easier to handle on all tackle.
OPEN-FACE SPINNING REELS In 1948, the Mitchell Reel Company of Cluses, France, introduced the Mitchell 300. The big brother of the 300 was the Mitchell 302, used by wide-ranging saltwater anglers fishing everything from yellowtail in the Pacific's rock piles and kelp beds to stripers and blues in the East Coast's suds.
RIGGING CRIMPS Crimps were adaptations of cable sleeves for leader material and followed the development of heavy monofilament, which is difficult to tie in knots. They first became widespread in the 1950s and were probably first sold commercially by Sevenstrand.
PENN INTERNATIONAL In 1966, Penn introduced the International series, specifically built for big-game tournament fishermen, with the world's first preset drag control, as well as a built-in strike stop and trademark anodized gold finish.
FLUOROCARBON In 1971, the Japanese company Seaguar developed fluorocarbon, which it's been manufacturing and selling ever since.
GRAPHITE FISHING RODS Graphite burst on the scene in the early 1970s, when Fenwick introduced its HMG rods, and other manufacturers followed swiftly.
ROLLER GUIDES The first roller guides appeared on big-game rods in the '30s and were produced by Tycoon Tackle in Miami, Florida.
SOFT PLASTIC BAITS Nick Creme of Akron, Ohio, cooked up the first recipe of vinyl, oils and pigment in 1949 and produced a molded worm that stayed soft and pliable – the original soft plastic bait. Following World War II, forerunners of the plastic genre came over the Atlantic from France, with the importation of the Toad, a French Vivif lure. On the West Coast, early members of the plastics family included the Scrounger and the Scampi.
WIND-ON LEADERS Pioneering anglers fishing in Venezuela in the 1960s and '70s reported using wind-on leaders there for the first time.
STAND-UP HARNESSES In the late 1980s, West Coast anglers fishing the long-range, multi-day charters out of San Diego developed this system of short-stroke rods, kidney harness and fighting belt to handle big tuna from the rail of the partyboats that carried them to the fishing grounds in Mexican waters.
TWO-SPEED REELS Two gear ranges were first incorporated into big-game reels during the '30s and were manufactured by Fin-Nor in South Florida. Part II: Boat Stuff

In Mandarin Gate, Edgar Award winner Eliot Pattison brings Shan back in a thriller that navigates the explosive political and religious landscape of Tibet.
In an earlier time, Shan Tao Yun was an Inspector stationed in Beijing. But he lost his position, his family and his freedom when he ran afoul of a powerful figure high in the Chinese government. Released unofficially from the work camp to which he'd been sentenced, Shan has been living in remote mountains of Tibet with a group of outlawed Buddhist monks. Without status, official identity, or the freedom to return to his former home in Beijing, Shan has just begun to settle into his menial job as an inspector of irrigation and sewer ditches in a remote Tibetan township when he encounters a wrenching crime scene. Strewn across the grounds of an old Buddhist temple undergoing restoration are the bodies of two unidentified men and a Tibetan nun. Shan quickly realizes that the murders pose a riddle the Chinese police might in fact be trying to cover up. When he discovers that a nearby village has been converted into a new internment camp for Tibetan dissidents arrested in Beijing's latest pacification campaign, Shan recognizes the dangerous landscape he has entered. To find justice for the victims and to protect an American woman who witnessed the murders, Shan must navigate through the treacherous worlds of the internment camp, the local criminal gang, and the government's rabid pacification teams, while coping with his growing doubts about his own identity and role in Tibet.
Eliot Pattison is the author of The Skull Mantra, which won the Edgar Award and was a finalist for the Gold Dagger, as well Water Touching Stone and Bone Mountain. Pattison is a world traveler and frequent visitor to China, and his numerous books and articles on international policy issues have been published around the world.
"Pattison dramatically portrays the bitter oppression suffered by the Tibetan people under Communist China in his excellent seventh novel featuring Chinese investigator Shan Tao Yun. Pattison movingly delineates the difficulties of seeking justice under a police state in this brilliantly constructed and passionate whodunit." —Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Pattison portrays the oppression of the Tibetan people with dramatic delicacy and rich insight. While Mandarin Gate is set in a locale farther away than most readers will ever dare venture, this mystery brings the plight of Tibet into sharp focus, weaving the region's cultural, social and political conflict into a compelling narrative." —CNN.com

Steven Adams. I sing and play the guitar in The Broken Family Band.
Sitting down after some noodle soup, with some apple juice. With breadsticks at hand.
Always escalate. Look after your friends. Eat humble pie only when necessary.
5. If you were the dictator of a modern industrial country, what would you abolish? What laws would you implement?
I'd introduce the concept of democracy and retire before being ousted in a bloodless coup for financial incompetence. The laws would depend on the country, you know, look at what laws they already had and go from there.
Just stuff. Personal politics, booze.
7. What is your opinion on the contemporary music scene? What do you like/dislike?
Its good at the moment, at least where I am. If I need new music there's always something available… I'm loving TV On The Radio, Jolie Holland, Josh Ritter, Devendra Banhardt, USA Is A Monster, Timothy Victor, Dillinger Escape Plan, Herman Dune and Resonance FM at the moment. I don't like Thrice and all those emo bands, but that doesn't mean I think they're no good, they just don't do it for me.
Genius and a heightened sense of self worth. Use of a silly accent whilst singing. My band is better than their bands. I bet we have more fun as well; we love each other.
North London, painting a room.
Yes. Sophie Littlefair and Greta from New Zealand.
Actually, I changed my my mind – Greta from New Zealand turned out to be alright! So my only regrets are Sophie Littlefair and not saving the drowning man.

Avatar sequels shut down production in NZ
All overseas productions due to shoot in the country are being affected
Author: Chris Evans
Filming of the sequels to director James Cameron's hugely successful Avatar film have been suspended amid concerns over the coronavirus pandemic.
The film's executive team had been due to fly from Los Angeles to New Zealand on Friday, and to resume a block of shooting at the Stone Street Studios in Wellington. They will now remain in the US.
"We've delayed it. We had plans to come down Friday night with a group of people and start back up and we made the decision to hold off and continue working here (in Los Angeles), and come down there a little bit later than we'd planned," producer Jon Landau told the New Zealand Herald newspaper.
"We're in the midst of a global crisis and this is not about the film industry. I think everybody needs to do now whatever we can do, as we say here, to flatten the [coronavirus] curve."
Wellington-based Weta Digital will continue to work on visual effects on the films, that are reportedly budgeted at $1bn (NZ$1.65bn).
The long-delayed sequels to 2009's Avatar were due to be completed by the end of 2020 with work on a total of four films being done simultaneously.
Any overseas productions, for which people had to travel into New Zealand, are being affected.


The falchion is a weapon that has lost its identity in the d20 system, and is represented as something far different than its historical counterpart. Blackdirge Publishing seeks to correct this injustice with the latest installment of the Master at Arms line: the falchioneer. The falchioneer is an aggressive warrior that can use his heavy blade to smash through his opponent's defenses, break his bones, or simply hack away limbs with each mighty stroke.
So, if you're searching for a prestige class that allows you to hack and chop with the best of them, then look no further than Master at Arms: Falchioneer.


The Universal F1100 Window Machine from Kohmann is simple to operate, yet meets high production requirements. Based on years of experience manufacturing window machines which have become a benchmark in the industry, this high technology machine sets standards for price/production ratio.
Compare these productive features to any other window machine and you'll see why the Kohmann Universal F1100 is the most sensible introductory window machine available.
The timed belt feeder can work 1-, 2-, or 3-up (3-up is optional).
The timed belt feeder with oversized hardened cams gives quiet and fluid movement of the lifters, reducing vibration and extending the life of the cam and cam follower. The lifters are made of light weight material, reducing mass and enabling speed increases up to 15% compared to ordinary belt feeders. The nylon lifters are adjustable both forward and backwards making the feeding of irregular shaped cartons and material very simple. The feed gates with carrier supports have a nip distance of only 15mm (.6 inches) providing perfect carton control enabling higher production speeds.
This feeder processes folding carton materials and corrugated materials up to 6mm thick.
The automatic air suction control (optional) is carried out by the PLC control of the machine and is programmed via the central input device.
Setting the cycle is carried out by inputting the relevant information via the PLC control panel. The drive of the cutting cylinder is carried out by a direct drive, which alters the gearing of the knife cylinder automatically.
The chain squaring section features a double spindle system insuring the register chains remain absolutely parallel and ensuring easy set up under all conditions even after years of running. The carton side guides and top guides are made of 5mm solid steel and are designed to remain in shape even after the heaviest jams. The guides are specially treated to protect against wear and corrosion. The rugged, 1/2 inch chain extends the life of the transport chain.
Blanks are conveyed from the chain section to the delivery via a vacuum belt and are held without guide bars, enabling optimum access and shorter changeover times. The suction table is split for two stream operation.
The doctor blade glue system with adjustable glue dams meters the proper amount of glue and presents it where it's desired. There is no glue sling on chains or cartons due to optimal coverage of the unit and its positioning above the stereo cylinder, which also provides easier access to the chain squaring and transport section. In the event of a missing carton, a pneumatic cylinder lowers the glue counter roller. The glue unit slides out of the machine for quick and easy clean up. There is no glue pan to clean. Total clean up can be accomplished in less than ten minutes and glue consumption is dramatically reduced.
If one or more blanks are missing, the suction table below the stereo cylinder is lowered automatically to prevent glue from contaminating the suction belts.
The stereo cylinder is divided in the middle for two stream operation. The glue application stereos can be prepared outside the machine and then clamped to the stereo cylinder. When a job is finished, the mounted stereo can be stored for repeat orders.
Even irregular shaped blanks are easily shingled onto this wide transport belt. The height is variable via hydraulic adjustment. The gap of the shingle is infinitely variable via potentiometer. The delivery can be moved away from the machine to facilitate access to the knife station and for roll changes.
The vacuum cylinder is manufactured from a specially treated PA 6 material for longest lifetime. Using synthetic material instead of steel provides protection against corrosion of the cylinder surface and piping system and reduces weight, reducing energy requirements and extending the lifetime of the cylinder bearings. Positioning of the film relative to the carton in the radial direction can be done while the machine is running by means of a handle.
The main drive utilizes tooth belts eliminating conventional sprockets, chains and gears. This drive is much smoother, requires no maintenance and eliminates the central lubrication system associated with ordinary drives. Worn chains and stretched chains are a thing of the past. Registration is greatly more consistent.
The Kohmann Universal F1100 is fitted with a PLC control. The control makes the operating and monitoring functions much simpler. This comprises the setting of the suction air control for the timed belt feeder, as well as the photocells in front for dust control in the chain section and the lowering of the suction table when missing blanks are detected. A missing film control and double sheet detector can be quoted as optional attachments, which would also be set via the PLC control.
Setting of the cut-off length of the window/lining material as well as many more basic parameters are set via the PLC control.
The Universal F1100 includes machine self-diagnostics and errors such as open safety doors as well as basic machine operation is explained through clear text and supported by graphic elements.
The Kohmann F1100 can be equipped with options designed for specific production requirements. Those options can be included at the time of purchase of can be retrofitted as your production requirements change.
