Richard Alston was one of the first dancers, along with Siobhan Davies, whom the dance enthusiast and philanthropist Robin Howard invited in 1968 to the building that would become The Place. Howard invited Robert Cohan to be the first artistic director of the school and to 'form a dance company based on love'. Howard drew up a list of objectives for The Place, including 'to use the universal language of dance to break down social, political, linguistic and other barriers' and that 'its standards should never, for any reason, be allowed to decline.' It was left to Cohan to embody these objectives, both at the school and in London Contemporary Dance Company, and since the company's demise in 1994 it has been the aim of Richard Alston's resident company to maintain them. While keeping the school running, The Place has now seen the formation and dissolution of two resident companies, which is hardly an incentive to students in a performing art. Whatever the reason for closing Alston's company, the cause is clearly not the company's current form.
Alston At Home is a fifty-year perspective, from Alston's very first choreography in 1969 — the solo and duet from Nowhere Slowly — to his latest, Bari, made for graduating students from London Contemporary Dance School. In between there is another early work, Blue Schubert Fragments (1972), something from the intermediate period, Red Run (1998), and two relatively recent works, Isthmus, made for Bob Lockyer's birthday celebration in 2012, and Martin Lawrance's Detour (2018). In addition, to mark the centenary of Alston's mentor, Merce Cunningham, the evening includes two of the solos from the Cunningham Centennial Solos program presented earlier this year at the Barbican. The program is not only a retrospective but a clear mark of Alston's appreciation to everything The Place has meant to him over the past 25 years. A visual artist of similar renown would be able to hold a retrospective in a single gallery over a period of time; as a choreographer, Alston's retrospective extends over three programs in various venues, the last of which will be Sadler's Wells on March 7 and 8 next year.
What this program shows are Alston's choreographic building blocks and their spatial development over time. The solo and duet from Nowhere Slowly has a simple structure with classically derived shapes and torsions and a clean sense of line. Set to Terry Riley's music, there is a Cunningham influence in that what happens is what happens, no more no less. Two years later Alston approaches the adagio of Schubert's quartet Death and the Maiden with more complexity; Blue Schubert Fragments is choreographed as if each of the six dancers is a solo instrument. Such emotional music can overpower a choreographic response to it, but here Alston extracts a spatial harmony from the integrated texture of the score.
In Bari, the folk-inspired music of South Italian pizzica has a buoyancy and energy — the traditional dance was conceived as an antidote to poisonous spider bites in the field — that the London Contemporary Dance School students relish. So does Alston, who smiles his way through the work with an infectious confidence.
Alston contributed two works to Lockyer's birthday bash in 2012, one of which was Isthmus, a quartet for two women and two men to Jo Kondo's intimate, intricate score. The choreographic shapes are evocative of the earlier works but Alston's adhesion to the musical rhythms creates a work with the rapid dynamics and sharp spatial patterns that define it.
Martin Lawrance's Detour moves up the program order of the evening due to a last-minute replacement of an injured Elly Braund by Hannah Kidd. As a former dancer in the company and the current associate choreographer, Lawrance is clearly an important influence on Alston, and vice versa. Detour, created to Akira Miyoshi's percussive Ripple for solo marimba, uses elements of Alston's vocabulary but submits it to an aggressive, virile energy that wrenches it apart. Calm returns after the intermission, with the Cunningham solos that revel in space and chance; Siobhan Davies is perfectly attuned to it in her mysterious dialogue with the air around her while Kidd's more grounded contribution joins the physical to the aleatory.
Red Run jolts us back to the energy levels of Lawrance but in responding to Heiner Goebbels' Nine Songs for Eleven Instruments Alston employs a sense of luxuriant and fast-paced playfulness that challenges the musicality and technical proficiency of the six dancers. It finishes, ironically for this occasion, with a suggestion of death.
Didy Veldman's Umanoove, The Happiness Project
Posted: May 26th, 2017 | Author: Nicholas Minns | Filed under: Performance | Tags: Alexander Balanescu, Dane Hurst, Didy Veldman, Estela Merlos, Hannah Kidd, Madeleine Jonsson, Mathieu Geffré, The Happiness Project, Umanoove | Comments Off on Didy Veldman's Umanoove, The Happiness Project

Happiness is an elusive state and like the Mona Lisa's smile remains enigmatic under scrutiny. There have been a couple of dance projects at The Place created around the concept of happiness: Robert Clark's Promises of Happiness and now The Happiness Project by Didy Veldman, her first independent work for her own company, Umanoove. As their respective titles suggest, neither Clark nor Veldman set out to put their finger directly on happiness, but instead gather together some of its more familiar signifiers as a point of departure to explore it and disseminate their findings.
There are many such explorations in The Happiness Project, but the principal vehicle of Veldman's work is the dancing itself. Veldman, a Rambert Company alumna, rejoices in the sheer pleasure of dancing, and the dancers with whom she created the work — Dane Hurst, Estela Merlos, Mathieu Geffré and Hannah Kidd — respond in equal measure (Kidd, however, was unable to perform the work and was replaced at short notice by Madeleine Jonsson). The movement is loose-limbed and generous, it jumps and turns with joyous intensity and is at times ecstatic.
In turn the dancing is inspired by the music, in which The Happiness Project is blessed with the presence on stage of composer and violinist, Alexander Balanescu. Balanescu takes on the central role of agent provocateur, a wandering musician who incites movement and laughter in his comrades. He is passionate in his playing, and his gestures are in themselves a form of dance linked directly to the music. Sometimes he plays solo and sometimes accompanied by a recorded ensemble, but he is always animated and his musical presence is pivotal to all that happens.
The inclusion in The Happiness Project of these two exalted expressions of music and dance are more than enough to fulfill the project's promise; witnessing the dionysian nature expressed so fully in both musician and dancers is intoxicating. But for Veldman there is an additional rationale for the work: sorting out her approach to happiness by illustrating what it might be and rejecting what it is not. For a spectator this is less uplifting than it is interesting, for to follow Veldman's illustrations is to learn as much about her thought processes as about happiness itself.
Her illustrations are in turn amusing, poignant and clichéd. They range from an individual desire to find love and inclusion to the pursuit of eternal youth, from the commercial association of happiness and fashion to sexual gratification, and from winning a pub quiz to enjoying Sunday mornings. With four dancers Veldman can vary reactions to a given stimulus, most notably in the episode on fashion. Hurst pulls out a piece of clothing from a box, announces its brand name and passes it to Jonsson who admires the design but passes it to Merlos who is generally unimpressed and passes it to Geffré who goes into fetishist rapture. The brands keep coming until Geffré comes too, Faun-like, on his pile of clothing. (Veldman is fond of quoting, and this is not the only dance reference; in a duet with Geffré and Jonsson there is a particularly egregious one from Pina Bausch's Café Müller, which Geffré himself used in his duet, What Songs May Do). Veldman also questions notions of happiness through its antithesis: Hurst is a figure who at times stands back from the enjoyment of his peers like a cloud on a sunny day or dances up a storm to wreck what he sees the others enjoying. Geffré, in one of the more surreal episodes, carries desire to masochistic extremes.
Laughter is often synonymous with happiness though more as signifier than the state itself. In the same way, Veldman indicates happiness through an early performative display of slow-motion laughter (reminiscent, as one audience member pointed out, of Bill Viola), and Balanescu later conducts the quartet of dancers as a laughing chorus. In both cases the dancers appear to be happy but we cannot be sure. In a section where they each perform their response to the question, Are you happy?, a sense of equivocation infuses their words and gestures and when they display on a large piece of plastic sheeting what makes them happy, the scope of happiness is reduced to written indications. There is thus a dual nature in The Happiness Project: the more Veldman explores happiness, the further away she seems to get, and yet the vehicle of her exploration — the dance and the music — are singing its praises all along. In the question and answer session following the show, audience questions were uniquely about aspects of the performance rather than about happiness. I'm not sure if that is a mark of success or failure.
Resolution 2017: Helen Cox, John Ross Dance & Simone and Elisabeth

Resolution is a festival of emerging artists, but for an explanation of the perilous stages of emergence there is no better guide than Simone Mousset and Elisabeth Schilling's hilarious Impressing the Grand Duke. Having experienced the travails of ascending from 'the deep and mysterious choreographic forest' to 'the deep inverted choreographic mountain' they know how it's done. Impressing the Grand Duke is told as a fable about an artist called Nymphadora who dances and dreams all day long in an obscure corner of the world. One day she receives a visit from the Grand Duke who recognizes her as an up-and-coming artiste, an original talent and future star and sends her on a mission to conquer the choreographic world. Nymphadora is played by both Schilling as Nympha, the stubborn, egocentric creative, and by Mousset as Dora, her harridan muse and business manager. Add the fairytale costumes by Mélanie Planchard and there are no limits to which these two consummate clowns will descend to deliver a satirical farce of the highest order. Despite Dora's low opinion about their prospects ("Nympha, we are not getting anywhere in our art. You are always dancing the same dance….We have to emerge.") the two manage to get through the various choreographic contests by squabbling or riffing verbally on their inability to choreograph. For Dora the goals are clear: international stardom, real visibility, real props and costumes, and sponsorship. For Nympha real costumes are trumped by the prospect of a visit from the Grand Duke.
They finally emerge (completely) to recorded congratulations against a Hollywood soundtrack so you can almost see the credits rolling up the screen as you reach for your Kleenex. Only one thing worries Nympha, who with devastating timing between the batting of her false eyelashes and the pouting of her red lips asks Dora, "And now?"
The choreography is ascribed to both Mousset and Schilling; not only are they natural counterparts to each other on stage but through their creative alchemy they anchor the theatricality of the work in a musical form. For last year's Resolution Mousset and Schilling worked together on Their Past to the symphonic music of Yuri Khanon but for Impressing the Grand Duke music provides only the initial impetus. Schilling begins the work dancing with capricious delight to Claude Debussy's Étude 10 pour les sonorités opposés, on pointe, and even when Mousset comes thundering down the aisle on to the stage she never disregards the music's rhythmic structure. But when the Étude finishes, the work continues as a tightly coherent physical score with spoken and recorded texts, and the Hollywood finale. In Impressing the Grand Duke, Mousset and Schilling have added a delightful sense of humour to their musicality and ability to paint with dance, which makes them a creative duo to watch. All the more so now they have emerged.
Helen Cox's double pendulum (ee cummings punctuation) opens the program. It takes place in either a spacious attic or a church nave sculpted in light and haze by Lucy Hansom and Ric Mountjoy. There is something of both the domestic and the spiritual in this duet that Cox dances with Andrew Oliver; their relationship has a domestic flavour in the way they set out their individual dynamics in their initial solos and then borrow from each other, but the spatial design, enhanced by the lighting, puts the work on a spiritual plane. Both dancers have the ability to stretch their gestures way beyond the reach of their limbs and Cox can effortlessly inhabit a spiral that wraps the space around her; together she and Oliver control space. They do not touch for much of the work (when Cox clutches Oliver's wrist it comes as a shock) but glide around and replace each other in a silence of choreography that the selection of tracks by Loscil and Floating Points intensifies; their relationship develops out of the choreography rather than being described by it. It is one of the few works I have seen that stands on its own choreographic merits without any need for notes or explanations.
In an evening of duets (unless we count the offstage presence of The Grand Duke), John Ross and Nicole Guarino's work, They Never Were, takes its title from its predominant motif of unfinished gestures. The choreography is a rich tapestry of gestures but the grounding of each one is constantly withdrawn like a quietly redacted conversation. As in double pendulum there is a silence that pervades the work, both in the quality of movement and in the intertwined gestures that barely connect. Hannah Kidd's costumes soften the bodies while Hansom herself again works her magic with a mist of lighting that further dissolves the figures into sculptural forms: we barely see the faces of the two dancers. Enhancing this sense of the ethereal is a score of Arvo Pärt's haunting Für Alina and an extract from Jon Hopkins' Immunity on top of which we hear a series of short, recorded phrases (written by Drew Taylor) like memory traces. Ross and Guarino keep these elements in constant suspension while their feet remain effortlessly on the ground. The nature of the work withdraws quietly into its title with equal elegance.

Climate change risks biggest change to marine species in three million years

Marine lifeClimate change risks biggest change to marine species in three million years
A guest post by Dr Gregory Beaugrand, researcher at the University of Lille Laboratory of Oceanography and Geoscience, and Dr Richard Kirby, research fellow at the Marine Biological Association of the UK.
Humans rely heavily on the world's oceans. About 70% of the world population lives within 60km of the shoreline, and we catch around 80 million tonnes of fish every year. In our new study, we investigate how warming oceans could affect the spread of marine species.
And the results suggest warming over 2C would have a bigger impact on marine biodiversity than we've seen in the last three million years.
Marine biodiversity
We know very little about the many and varied species swimming around in our oceans. Scientists estimate there are around two million different species globally, but so far we have only identified around a tenth of them. This lack of knowledge makes it difficult to predict how climate change could affect marine ecosystems.
But it remains an important challenge.
Until now, attempts to understand the implications of climate change on marine biodiversity have either projected results based on a few key species, or used statistical models to predict the distribution of a species based on different environmental factors.
Both methods are limited by our knowledge of how species are distributed across our oceans. In our study, published today in Nature Climate Change, we take a different approach – using ocean temperatures.
Theoretical species
We use a novel approach based upon the theory that the way biodiversity is distributed in the ocean is based on the temperatures that different species can tolerate and thrive in.
In our ecological model, we created tens of thousands of theoretical species. We gave each species a unique response to ocean temperature and allowed them to colonise the world's oceans, wherever they found the temperatures were suitable for them.
To make sure our pseudo-global aquarium was realistic, we checked it against observed data for real species, including types of plankton, crustaceans and fish.

Past, present and future
We ran our model to compare marine biodiversity between the past and present. We used two distinct points in history: the last ice age (around 20,000 years ago) and the mid-Pliocene (around three million years ago).
During the last ice age, global carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were around 190 parts per million (ppm) and global temperatures were 3-5C lower than they are today. The mid-Pliocene is a period where conditions – including atmospheric carbon dioxide at about 400 ppm and global temperatures around 2-3C higher than today – closely resemble what some climate models project for later this century.
We then ran our model to see how warming in the future could affect the distribution of marine species by the end of this century. We used four scenarios of climate change – matching the four used by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change – and output from five different climate models.
You can see all of these results in the maps below. On the left-hand side, the maps show 'quantitative changes' – the average change in species abundance. The right-hand side maps show 'qualitative changes' – the difference between the number of species type that move to the region minus those that move away or die out.
The reds and oranges show the regions of greatest change, while the blues and greens show changes of less than 5% – including negatives.
Overall, we found that 42-94% of the world's oceans are to see changes in biodiversity of at least 5% (maps a-d), depending on emissions scenario. The changes are most pronounced in the tropics and the polar oceans, but for entirely different reasons.
While the tropics may see an increase in the abundance of a particular species (maps a-d), its diversity will diminish as many species find conditions too warm to remain (maps g-j). In contrast, polar regions will see a large influx of new species seeking cooler temperatures.
Past and future quantitative (left-hand maps) and qualitative (right-hand maps) change in marine biodiversity. Maps on top four rows (a-d and g-j) show difference between projected future (2081-2100) and present (2006-13) under the four emissions scenarios. Maps on bottom two rows show difference between the last glacial maximum (LGM, maps e and k) and 1960-69, and the Mid-Pliocene (maps f and l) and 2006-13. Regions of largest percentage change shown as oranges and reds, and smaller changes as blues and greens. Source: Beaugrand et al. (2015).
Under the lowest emissions scenario ( RCP2.6), future global warming by 2100 stays below 2C – the threshold beyond which the international community considers natural systems to be at risk of grave damage.
With this scenario, much of the oceans would see biodiversity changes of 5% or less by the end of the century (maps a and g). Changes for around 25% of the oceans would be of greater magnitude than those between the mid-Pliocene and the present day (maps f and l).
More alarming changes are seen from the other three scenarios. Under RCP4.5 and 6.0, around 28% of the global oceans would see a drop in biodiversity, and between 46% and 51% of the global oceans would see a biodiversity change above what was experienced between the mid-Pliocene and today.
For the emissions scenario with the highest concentrations of carbon dioxide by 2100 ( RCP8.5), biodiversity is projected to diminish in 44% of the global oceans. This translates to climate change having a bigger impact on marine ecosystems in 70% of the world's oceans than we've seen since the mid-Pliocene three million years ago.

Any reorganisation of marine biodiversity will affect us in some way. Our oceans support millions of people around the world, and marine processes are a key part of the carbon cycle, taking carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and storing it in the deep ocean.
Some individual changes might be good, but many will inevitably be bad.
Together, any changes in biodiversity will affect interactions between species and consequently, how the ecosystem functions and how productive it is.
Our results provide evidence that if we can keep global warming below 2C, the effects on marine biodiversity predicted could be manageable. But miss the target, and the consequences for ocean life could be much more severe.

An Antique Car | W. Wayne B.
Posted on January 19, 2013	by W. Wayne B.
Under the bridge lies a rusting hulk.
The antique car was abandoned years ago.
No one cares about its history.
Years passed and the rust grew thick.
Birds made nests in the broken headlights.
Silent parasites consumed the metal.
The shiny chrome cracked and faded.
The city maintained the bridge.
Traffic raced along its surface.
Seasons left their mark on the car.
People had forgotten the car long ago.
Its quiet habitat raised many generations.
The birds' beauty was a blessing.
I was pleased when I found its bounty.

The first female Federal Reserve Chairwoman forcefully emphasized the necessity of closing the gender wage gap and inequities in workforce opportunities, arguing that economic growth depended on it.
Speaking at Brown University's "125 Years of Women at Brown Conference," a celebration of the decision to admit women into the Ivy League university, Janet Yellen, a Brown alumna, used anecdotes from her own family to trace female economic progress over the past century.
She highlighted the progress that had been made, saying female participation was crucial to the growth and prosperity of the 20th century, but noted it hasn't been sufficient.
"Despite this progress, evidence suggests that many women remain unable to achieve their goals," Yellen said.
Women, she said, still face an opportunity gap, underrepresented in many industries and often unable to fulfill their potential due to adequate workplace policies.
"If these obstacles persist, we will squander the potential of many of our citizens and incur a substantial loss to the productive capacity of our economy at a time when the aging of the population and weak productivity growth are already weighing on economic growth," Yellen said.
Yellen's full remarks can be found here.

South Coast – Empisini Nature ReserveNatasha Shilubane2022-09-08T20:54:44+00:00
South Coast – Empisini Nature Reserve
Established in 1973 over an area of 120 hectares, the Empisini Nature Reserve is a delightful birding site owned by the borough of uMkhomanzi/Umkomaas TLC and managed by the Umkomaas Centre of the Wildlife and Environment society of South Africa. The reserve is named as 'the place of the hyena' – though hyenas do not actually occur – which is the name given to the perennial stream that flows through the reserve and into the uMhkomazi River.
Most of the reserve is blanketed in primary and secondary forest habitats, though small patches of grassland and wetland can be found in the lower sections.
Follow the short trails through the forests along the Empisini stream, where it is possible to see characteristic forest species. The sought-after Spotted Ground Thrush is primarily a winter visitor and is best located by its sweet song and by following rustling sounds in the dense leaf-litter. The spectacular Narina Trogon calls incessantly from the forest canopy in the spring months. Other species to look for include the Scaly-throated Honeyguide, Purple-crested Turaco, African Emerald Cuckoo (summer), Green Malkoha, Trumpeter Hornbill, Common Square-tailed Drongo, Grey Cuckooshrike, Cape Batis, Terrestrial Brownbul, Yellow-bellied Greenbul, Red-capped Robin-chat, Brown Scrub-robin, and the Blue-mantled Crested Flycatcher. Watch overhead for the Black and Little Sparrowhawks, as well as for African Goshawk.
Limited areas of grassland may yield the Red-winged Francolin, Croaking Cisticola, and Yellow-throated Longclaw – while the small dam often supports a pair of African Black Duck. Red-chested Flufftail is vocal from the reedbeds in the summer months though patience is required to see this skulking species.

The South Coast Birding Route in KwaZulu-Natal – spanning from Durban to the southern provincial border between KwaZulu-Natal and the Eastern Cape – comprises a variety of rich sub-tropical habitats ranging from coastal and inland wetlands to extensive grasslands, woodlands and forests. The forest birding to be had in this region is arguably some of the best anywhere in South Africa, featuring an interesting community of birds that is intermediate between the rich afromontane and coastal forests.
It is the only route within KwaZulu-Natal where these two diverse forest assemblages overlap and, for this reason, birding in this area is extremely rewarding. Several species reach their northernmost limits within this route including the sought-after Knysna Woodpecker and Knysna Warbler, while other notable highlights include the Magpie Mannikin, Knynsa Turaco, and Red-headed Quelea. Moreover, the route boasts many of KwaZulu-Natal's most revered birding sites including Vernon Crookes Nature Reserve, Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve and the Weza-Ngele Forest among others. Several days are recommended in the area to afford yourself with the best chances of finding the most sought-after species.
Travel south from Durban on the main N2 freeway. Take the Umkomaas freeway exit to Umkomaas and turn left. Turn left again onto the road signposted to the Nature Reserve and SAICCOR. The turnoff to the reserve is about 1 km down this road on the left, follow the signposts.
Notable points of interest include the:
Main entrance: -30.2071, 30.7742
There are picnic and braai sites alongside the dam for the use of day-visitors. Several excellent trails meander through the various habitats in the reserve and the trails alongside the Empisini stream provide excellent forest birding. Bird lists and maps are available on request from the contact persons.
The nearest Birder Friendly Establishments are in the nearby village of Margate. For more information, please visit:

Gary Stroutsos - A Passion For Sound Travelling
Gary Stroutsos – A Passion For Sound Travelling
Aired Wednesday, 1 May 2019, 12:00 PM EST / 9:00 AM PST
Evoking a spirit of place and the voices of the land, Gary's Stroutsos musical works includes internationally-acclaimed recordings at sacred sites, using the unique acoustics and history of each great space as the starting point for musical exploration:
A shared moment in a timeless place, where flute melodies, ancestral and modern, play off one another and songs come alive, buoying and breathing through the generations.
In over thirty recordings, including a number of recordings made on location from the plains of the Dakotas, to the canyon lands of the Southwest, to the shores of the Pacific Coast, Stroutsos has created a body of work which expresses a passion for sound traveling:
Music without borders.
Gary's New Album Reflections of the Taj Mahal: A Tribute To Paul Horn is Serene, spacious, and floating, and pays tribute to one of the greats–the highly innovative and jazz-minded improviser Paul Horn, who is often (incorrectly, says Gary!) referred to as "the grandfather of New Age music." This new album is a perfect soundtrack for yoga, meditation, driving, the healing arts, and more.

Jason Better and Dale Russell – Writing Songs For The Greats To Sing
Aired Wednesday, 6 March 2019, 12:00 PM EST / 9:00 AM PST
The journey a song takes begins with a writer translating a feeling and a story into words.
Magic happens when each musician then delivers those words through sound.
It can be a surprise of who's ears hear a 'special something' that can take words and a melody to a hit.
Our 2 guests today have experienced MANY of those hits.
Each started out with a knowing that music would be in their lives from a very young age and each use their passion and skills to create and collaborate with other musicians from around the world.
Jason Better, songwriter and musician, and Dale Russell, former lead guitarist with The Guess Who, session player and producer, share the success story of the very recent collaboration of newly dropped single 'Another One More'.
We invite you to join us on Musical Chairs this week as we explore how songs go from being written on paper to how they are produced on albums to being performed on the big stage.

It's light in the kitchen and also very charming. However, are you okay with that? don't you want the room to look amazing? Of course, you do. You don't have to make significant changes to upgrade the look of the kitchen. All you have to do is to fit in nice-looking furniture. Quite a lot of people have sofas, as well as seating areas, in the kitchen. Why? You may ask. To make the room cosier, that's why. Just so you know, the kitchen isn't only for meeting your cooking needs. It's a place where you spend quality time with your family and even invite friends over. Including furnishings in the kitchen design is what you should do. The question now is what pieces should go in the kitchen. Read on to find out.
You are free to do whatever you want, including having a sofa in the dining room. But why would you want to do that? because this piece of furniture will transform the place into one that your family can enjoy. A sofa is highly functional, allowing individuals to socialise and interact. What you can be sure of is the fact that a seating of this kind ensures maximum comfort and relaxation. This is what you need when preparing meals. As long as you have a sofa in the kitchen, you don't really need anything else. Well, except for food. Denelli sofas are worth taking into consideration when going shopping. You should use the seating so as to separate the spaces. For instance, you can create a breakfast retreat.
If you don't have a dining table, how are you or your loved ones supposed to eat? A dining table is as functional as it is aesthetic. Don't eat dinner in the living room anymore. Eating should be reserved only for the kitchen. When in the market for a dining table, take into account shape, colour, and size. Most importantly, choose a piece of furniture that is capable of withstanding the test of time. You're going to eat a great many meals, so it's important to get a sturdy table. The manufacturer usually recommends the number of people who can sit comfortably. Yet, if you don't have that much floor space, then you can't accommodate that many individuals if it's just you, your spouse, and the 2 kids, then you don't have to bother your head. To gain some space, you can try placing the dining table closer to the sofa.
A sideboard is a furnishing that features many drawers. It makes complete sense to have a sideboard in the living room. What about the kitchen? There's no reason why you shouldn't include one. An item like this will add a stylish appeal to your kitchen, not to mention that it will allow you to display your collection of serving dishes. Although most people place sideboard in living rooms, you can take a completely different direction. Always buy a sideboard. Never build one from stock cabinets.

Best Of The Web Israel
Israeli Leftists Should Embrace Bibi
Yossi Beilin , Al-Monitor | PUBLISHED Jul 2, 2019 |
"Israeli politics has become a la-la land. First came the clashing victory declarations by Blue and White Party chair Benny Gantz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately after the polls closed on April 9. It was followed by a reasonable assessment that the political right would be able to form a coalition government with the ultra-Orthodox parties and the far-right Israel Power Party. Then Netanyahu's on-again, off-again ally Avigdor Liberman flipped from total loyalty to Netanyahu and joined the "anyone but Netanyahu" camp. Without Liberman and given Netanyahu's refusal to allow anyone else from his party to form a government, Netanyahu engineered the disbanding of the just-sworn-in Knesset and set new elections for Sept. 17.
On June 25, with polls that Netanyahu commissioned showing that the elections for the 22nd Knesset could cost him his job at the worst possible time, Knesset speaker Yuli Edelstein came up with an idea straight out of a Federico Fellini script: revoke the law dissolving the Knesset and form a national unity government led by Netanyahu and Gantz.
As of June 30, this option does not appear feasible. Elections have never been held in Israel so soon after a new Knesset was inaugurated, and no one has ever tried to rescind a law disbanding the Knesset after it was adopted lawfully in three readings. Israeli law does not explicitly cover such circumstances and experts are divided on the move's legality and on the number of votes that would be required for it to pass. According to Edelstein, since 74 of 120 Knesset members approved the dissolution bill on May 29, a larger number would be required to rescind it. Legal advisers argue that the move would not withstand Supreme Court scrutiny because the dissolution and scheduling of new elections have already set in motion a series of irreversible procedures. It appears there is no way to stuff the genie back into the bottle."

Computer fans check out Windows 10 in Sydney
Windows 10 arrives on more than 14 million devices
by Mark Furler
3rd Aug 2015 3:01 PM
WINDOWS is no longer an operating system designed mainly for PCs.
Its latest iteration, Windows 10, caters for desktop computers, tablets, phones, the Internet of Things, Microsoft Surface Hub, Xbox One and Microsoft HoloLens.
After the disaster of previous releases, Microsoft has brought back the Start menu its users know and love.
It also says Windows is faster than ever before with a quicker start-up and resume.
By all accounts, it's a big improvement on Windows 8 (and no there isn't a 9).
It comes with free anti-malware protection - and ongoing security updates.
Windows 10 has already been downloaded on 14 million computers, Microsoft says.
"While we now have more than 14 million devices running Windows 10, we still have many more upgrades to go before we catch up to each of you that reserved your upgrade," the computing giant wrote in a blog post.
In some ways Microsoft is playing catch-up with Apple, with its personal digital assistant, Cortana, something along the lines of Siri.
Cortana learns your preferences to provide relevant recommendations, fast access to information, and important reminders.
Interaction is via talking or typing.
But Cortana won't debut in Australia until the next couple of months and only as part of the Windows Insider Program initially.
Windows 10 features Microsoft Edge, a slick new browser that offers built-in commenting on the web via typing or inking - sharing comments.
Users will also be able to experience new universal applications for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint.
Microsoft says with new touch-first controls in Excel you can create or update spreadsheets without a keyboard or mouse. There are also new versions of OneNote and Outlook.
For gamers, Xbox Live and the integrated Xbox App bring new experiences.
Xbox on Windows 10 brings the expansive Xbox Live gaming network to Windows 10 PCs and tablets.
You can communicate with your friends on Windows 10 PCs and Xbox One while playing any PC game. You can capture, edit and share your greatest gaming moments with Game DVR, and play new games with friends across devices.
The Photos, Videos, Music, Maps, People, Mail and Calendar apps have updated designs that look and feel familiar from app to app and device to device.
You can start something on one device and continue it on another since your content is stored on and synched through OneDrive.
Windows Hello greets you by name and with a smile, letting you log in without a password and providing instant, more secure access to your Windows 10 devices. With Windows Hello, biometric authentication is easy with your face, iris or finger providing instant recognition.
Microsoft says it will continue to update Windows 10 over time to help users be more productive and have more fun. Like Windows 10 itself, the updates will be free.
Yes, if you have a desktop PC or laptop with a legitimate copy of Windows 7 or Windows 8, then you can upgrade to Windows 10 free for the next year.
You should see a Get Windows 10 icon in your PC's taskbar, next to the system clock and volume. That little Windows icon is an invitation to reserve your free upgrade of Windows 10 - from there, you get your place in line for a Windows 10 download, and enter your email address for confirmation. From there, you will get a notification when it's ready to install.
Will Aussie users of Windows 10 get to meet Cortana? Not right away.
Can I roll back to a previous version of Windows? Yes, if you don't like Windows 10, you're able to roll back.

Regrettably, Mr. Kennedy blames the department's engineers rather than policy makers for the degradation of water quality.
Developers, with bulging wallets for campaign contributions, retain highly connected lawyers and lobbyists to get their projects approved. Instead of blaming engineers, Mr. Kennedy should call for an independent commission to investigate the development-related decision-making processes.
