Faye Webster – "In A Good Way"
April 15, 2020 News by RecordsOnRepeat
"You make me wanna cry in a good way." That's a good line, and with Faye Webster sounding genuinely on the verge of tears, it becomes great. Even when she's expressing something more straightforward, there's palpable emotion in her voice: "I didn't know that I was capable of being happy right now, but you showed me how."
The lyrics are from the mercurial Atlanta singer-songwriter and Best New Bands alumna's new single "In A Good Way," out today. A soft-rock ballad tinted with retro soul and buoyed by a string quartet, it's Webster's first release of 2020 and first since last summer's "Both All The Time." Both songs arrive in the wake of her Secretly Canadian debut Atlanta Millionaires Club.
"In A Good Way" has a video directed by Webster and longtime collaborator Hunter Airheart, which I invite you to watch below.
"In A Good Way" is out now on Secretly Canadian.

With Alphabet, Google wants to avoid becoming Microsoft
Devindra Hardawar, @devindra
You're probably tired of hearing just how "unconventional" Google is after yesterday's surprise restructuring announcement. Sure, making Google a subsidiary of a company called Alphabet is certainly strange, especially after it's become a household brand practically synonymous with technology culture. But, really, CEO Larry Page's decision to reorient the company makes plenty of sense given just how far Google has come from simply being a search company. On top of wildly popular offerings like Android and YouTube, Google is also exploring things like self-driving cars, delivery drones and even life extension. Now with everything under Alphabet, Page no longer has to justify why a search company is delving into such far-out territory. And that sets up a future where Google can avoid the stagnation so common to big tech companies, and its subsidiaries can be even bolder in their ambitions.
So what does all this mean for you, the tech-savvy consumer? At first, probably not much. Page was clear that Alphabet isn't intended to be a consumer brand; instead the whole point is to give each subsidiary the ability to build up their own brands. And you can bet that things like the company's self-driving car initiative will forever be thought of as a "Google" project. The company will separate Google's financials from the rest of Alphabet in the next earnings report, which should give peace of mind to investors. Google's stock jumped around 6 percent in overnight trading, so it's clear the market is responding positively to the news.
In the long term, forming Alphabet basically seems like a way for Google to avoid following in the footsteps of Microsoft and IBM, companies that faced stagnation at points in the face of younger, nimbler competitors (like Google). When you've got successful legacy businesses, like Google's search and Android OS, sometimes it's better to keep them separate so they don't get in the way of new ideas. Each of Alphabet's subsidiaries will have their own CEOs and will be managed somewhat independently, which should technically make it easier for them to innovate without worrying about what every move means for the entire conglomerate. At the same time, they'll also be able to share their successes with other Alphabet companies.
"We've long believed that over time companies tend to get comfortable doing the same thing, just making incremental changes," Page said in his announcement yesterday. "But in the technology industry, where revolutionary ideas drive the next big growth areas, you need to be a bit uncomfortable to stay relevant."
Indeed, there's something to be said for avoiding comfort. IBM's dominance and massive success in the mainframe era was one of the big reasons it ended up losing the PC market to Microsoft and Apple. And while Microsoft was in the smartphone arena before Apple, it missed out on the modern mobile revolution by being slow to catch up to the iPhone's capacitive touchscreen and large app library. You can probably blame the steady cash cows of Windows and Office for that (among many other issues at Microsoft).
But while Alphabet is an intriguing move by Google, it's unclear if Page's ideal vision of the company will pan out. All of the company's CEOs will still have to answer to Page and Google co-founder (and Alphabet president) Sergey Brin. So while Sundar Pichai is technically now CEO of Google, he doesn't have anywhere near the amount of influence Page and Eric Schmidt had as former CEOs. In the end, he's still a product guy focused on Google's online services, Android and Chrome. We also don't know what it'll look like when Alphabet subsidiaries end up conflicting with each other.
In trying to avoid the mistakes of many big tech companies, Google has crafted itself an unconventional future. But it will be years before we see if Google's Alphabet pays off.

Over the course of five years, we are engaging in a variety of activities in order to advance the research on recovery support services.
Our work is guided by three Community Boards, comprised of people in recovery and people from organizations that provide or pay for recovery support services.
Off-Site Training and Mentoring
We offer a Training Institute and ongoing mentoring for early career investigators interested in researching recovery support services.
Intensive In-Residence Fellowship
We offer two-year Postdoctoral Fellowships that help early career investigators launch their career as a researcher focused on recovery support services.
Expert Consultant Panel
In addition to working with our team, participants in our Fellowship and Training programs will also have access to the expertise of our consultant panel, a group of practitioners and researchers with a variety of skillsets.
We will be funding several pilot studies focused on recovery support services.
Through webinars and pre-conference workshops, we are offering virtual and in-person trainings for researchers and practitioners.
Centering the Voices of People with Lived Experience
Bringing together research expertise and lived experience leads to better research. For this reason, lived experience is at the heart of everything we do:
This Initiative is a partnership between researchers, persons in recovery, providers, and payors.
Our Community Boards set the research priorities and determine the selection of early career investigators for our Fellowship and Trainee programs, and decide which pilot studies are funded.
For our Trainee, Fellow, and pilot study opportunities, we are seeking applicants who have lived experience with recovery from substance use or with the justice system.
Looking for a Postdoctoral Fellowship?
In addition to the offsite Training Institute, we also offer two-year full-time postdoctoral fellowship positions at the Oregon Social Learning Center for individuals interested in a career conducting research on recovery support services for adults with substance use disorders.
Our next Postdoctoral Research Fellow position will have a start date between January and July 2023. Check back in early fall 2022 for the position details and application. Join our newsletter below to stay up to date with announcements about upcoming opportunities.

Premier Brantley welcomes IMF delegation to Nevis
story-editor
The Hon. Mark Brantley, premier of Nevis and minister of finance in the Nevis Island Administration, welcomes a team from the International Monetary Fund to Nevis at the Ministry of Finance conference room on June 27.
From the NIA
CHARLESTOWN, Nevis – The Hon. Mark Brantley, premier of Nevis and minister of finance, welcomed a team from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to Nevis at a meeting with senior officers in the ministry at the Ministry of Finance conference room June 27 to conduct the fund's annual Article IX mission to review the economy of St. Kitts and Nevis. He described the meeting as an important engagement that would provide a realistic assessment from an independent outside agency, of how the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is doing.
"I want you to appreciate that what you do is important to us, in terms of setting the necessary framework for us, letting us know where we are falling short and, hopefully, if there are areas that we are doing well, letting us know that as well," he said. "So, we welcome this level of engagement. We think it's important for us as a government.
"I think you would know that we are a new government. We are trying our best to move forward and to ensure that we can get the necessary framework, get the necessary indicators as to where we are, get the necessary pointers, if you will. You are the experts, not us, and so we definitely would like to hear more from you as to where we are, what we ought to be doing."
Brantley also presented a summary of programmes and policies of the NIA for the 2018 period in accordance with what was outlined in the Throne Speech and the budget address.
The team is headed by Arnold McIntyre, deputy division chief in the Caribbean Division at the IMF's Western Hemisphere Department. He is accompanied by Takuji Komatsuzaki, senior economist, and Mauricio Vargas, economist. Other members of the team are Stephan Maier, economist in the economics department of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB); Kevin Woods, economist II in the research department at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) and his colleague, Peter Abraham Jr., economist at the ECCB.

Emma PLDZ-10
*** Original and Unabridged Content. Made available by CLASSIC COLLECTION 600.***
A comedy of manners, Emma portrays the spoilt, snobbish, yet charming Emma Woodhouse as she delightfully interferes in the relationships of others without taking much notice of her own heart. Although quick to make prejudgments and decisions, Emma is eventually able to notice her mistakes, and it is this revelation that makes her an endearing heroine and an inspiration to women throughout. Austen has not only created, but also brought to life the world inhabited by her characters through her vivid depictions and clever use of wit. The novel begins with the introduction of the twenty-year-old protagonist described by the all-knowing narrator as "Emma Woodhouse, handsome, clever, and rich with a comfortable home and happy disposition". He also warns readers of Emma's high self-confidence and her efforts of having everything her way. Living on the large estate of Hartfield in Surrey with her elderly widowed father, Emma is satisfied with her life and sees no need for romance or a marriage of her own. Instead she views herself to be quite the matchmaker after attending the wedding of her former governess and best friend Anne Taylor and Mr. Weston, whom she has introduced to one another. This new role as matchmaker is further inflamed when she befriends the sweet but not so bright seventeen-year-old Harriet Smith. Emma is determined to find a suitable match for her new best friend and believes that Harriet deserves a gentleman and nothing less. A trusted friend and brother-in-law, George Knightley appears to be the only person openly criticizing Emma's actions and pointing out her faults. As the novel progresses so does the positive transformation of Emma as she evolves from her self-centered ways into a sympathetic woman well aware of others and her own desires. Emma is often labeled as Austen's most flawless piece of work, as she explores social issues concerning the difficulties women face living in a society and time when social status defined their very existence. A classic depiction of youthful pride and a misinterpretation of signs, Emma is not without reason celebrated as one of the most revered social comedies.

One week ago today we took our seats around two large circular tables draped in newspapers. Beckoned on by our Grand Inquisitors, we each had our turn at reading out a list of hopes and fears for the course. A top secret was also to be divulged, serving as the customary 'ice breaker'. Some secrets in fact qualified as boasts one would likely scream from a rooftop. Some people claimed to have no secrets at all. Lies, I say~! By the close of these nine weeks, we're set to know everything about one another anyway. We will all have witnessed our neighbour put their fist through the microwave in a seething fit of 27-resubmissions-induced rage. We will all have seen each other cry. We will all have seen each other naked.
We were unsure one week ago. Everyone had some inkling as to why they were there, but we just didn't have much of a clue about the how, what, where, and when. The dots were there on the paper but they weren't quite connected. Of absolute certainty, in time, was Keith's maxim of HOW MUCH (London costs) and HOW MANY (hours/resubmissions we'd work through).
It's now 14 Jan, and we're starting to pull the magazine together from various disparate elements into something resembling focus. Matt Scott, Katharina Neureiter and Daniel Kemp were elected today as Editor, Deputy Editor and News Editor of 'Vintage Retail Business', respectively. Congratulations~!
But what stuck in our minds the most from today was undoubtedly the gauntlet of articles we submitted in the space of just a few hours, all of them centred around a series of real-life murders in Nottinghamshire. Our objective was to ease into the practice of covering rolling news developments; for this to occur, Roberta drank some magic potion and became a gruff midlands police constable named Kenneth Henshaw who delivered a press conference to a gang of reporters that found the word 'trucker' inexplicably hilarious.
New information came to light with every press conference - four in total - and it fell to us to sift through the information and condense what we learned into fresh articles, referencing our previous accounts while juggling the new facts. The task felt most difficult when little knowledge of the murder had come to light and filling up 200 words with 'coming soon' just didn't seem plausible. At the other end of the spectrum, all details disclosed made for a challenging entry in which one had to cram names, events and BLOOD into a very dense paragraph. Therefore, the comfortable middle ground at around the second and third instalments provided us with just enough facts to recount the past and enough empty space to look to the future.
So much murder, though. I think I need a cold shower.
I expect my next blog entry will come at a point when the magazine has progressed even further. For now, I can sit and marvel at how much my head hurts, and how much we've all learned and achieved in such a short space of time. It's a testament to ambition, motivation and a desire to share knowledge - not just on our part, but Keith's and Roberta's too. Long may it continue, for eight more weeks at least.

Great Connell Priory () is a former house of Augustinian canons dedicated to Saint Mary and Saint David, situated on the eastern side of the River Liffey, in the Barony of Connell just to the south-east of the town of Newbridge, County Kildare, Republic of Ireland.

The priory was founded in 1202 as a dependency of Llanthony Priory in Wales by the illegitimate grandson of the Angevin King Henry II, Meiler fitz Henry, who also founded abbeys in Laois, Clonfert and Killaloe. It was located just north of a ford across the River Liffey, known as Connell Ford. It was endowed with extensive lands in the baronies of Connell and Carbury and elsewhere in Ireland. In 1203 the last King of the Ui Faeláin, Faeláin Mac Faeláin, died as a monk there. The founder entered the priory himself in 1216 and died there in 1220. It was a rule of the house that only English monks could be admitted; it does not seem that this rule was always enforced, although, in 1537, when the priory was threatened with closure, the prior assured Thomas Cromwell that no Irish brother had ever been admitted.

Great Connell became one of the principal monasteries of the Pale and acquired substantial property. In 1455 the King granted it power to acquire lands to a yearly value of £10. At its height, it was estimated to own 1260 acres of land, 6 churches, 5 castles and a mill. A statute of the Parliament of Ireland of 1475 authorised the Abbott to deal with Abbey's property in the "lands of the  King's enemies" i.e. territories controlled by hostile Irish clans, without committing a crime  as would otherwise be the case. The Abbot was also permitted to enter contracts with the Irish for the purchase or sale of land and foodstuffs. The prior was also frequently a member of the Irish Privy Council, as Prior Philip Stroyle was in the 1430s, Prior Nicholas in the 1460s, and Prior Walter Wellesley in the 1520s.

The most powerful prior of Great Connell  was Walter Wellesley, who was appointed before 1520, and who remained prior even after he became Bishop of Kildare in 1529. He had considerable influence with Henry VIII, and at the suppression of the religious houses, he used all his influence to save Great Connell. He was successful in the short term, but his death in 1539 left the priory without an influential protector. The priory was suppressed c. 1540 with the consent of the last prior Robert Wellesley, and the property was granted first to Edward Randolfe, then to Sir Nicholas White in 1560, and to Sir Edmond Butler in 1566.

Much of the original masonry was removed from the priory and used in the construction of the British Cavalry Barracks in Newbridge in the early 19th century. At that time the top of the tomb of Walter Wellesley and some other fragments were discovered and built into the wall of the cemetery at the site. The tomb of Walter Wellesley was moved in 1971 to Kildare Cathedral and reconstructed by the County Kildare Archaeological Society with financial support by Gerald Wellesley, 7th Duke of Wellington.

The North Pacific Fisheries Trust (NPFT) supports the efforts of coastal communities and local fishing families.
NPFT, a 509(a)(3) nonprofit subsidiary of Ecotrust, provides financing and makes investments in qualified buyers, community organizations, quota entities, and businesses that share and meet strong community equity, ecosystem conservation, and economic development goals.
The trust helps community members acquire and manage the assets necessary to support these goals; those assets include licenses, permits, quotas, and distribution rights. The trust lends capital at favorable rates and terms to help communities thrive.
At the heart of the trust's strategy is pursuing long-term funding relationships with qualified Community Quota Entities (CQEs) in the Gulf of Alaska. Due to the start-up nature of the CQE program and its participants, access to capital for the purchase of individual fishing quota (IFQ) is fairly limited at this time. The trust intends to bring its sizeable financial resources and its success in similar markets to bear on the CQE marketplace as an avenue to spur market development.

The Latimer Trust is a conservative evangelical Christian think tank in the United Kingdom.

Overview
The Latimer Trust is an evangelical think-tank dedicated to providing biblical input and a considered response to significant issues within the Christian community and elsewhere, with a particular focus on the Church of England. The Trust is continuing and developing the work of Latimer House in Oxford during the 1960s. It produces books, studies, briefings and publications and supports research by grants and funding posts.  The Latimer Collection is now housed within the library at Oak Hill Theological College in London.

Trustees have included Donald Allister and Wallace Benn, and J. I. Packer was Hon. President. The director of research is Gerald L Bray.

History
Latimer House (the Oxford Evangelical Research Trust Limited) was set up under the initiative of J.I.Packer and John Stott as a centre for research.  It was funded by donations, and published Studies, Briefings and Comments from 1978 onwards. The first Warden was Richard Coates (1960–61); he was followed by J.I.Packer (1962–69), John Wenham (1969-73), Roger Beckwith (1973–94) and Nigel Atkinson (1995–98). Towards the end of the 1990s the Trust struggled financially so the decision was made, with the permission of the Charities Commission, to wind it up and roll the proceeds of the sale of the house in Oxford into a new charity, The Latimer Trust, reg. charity no. 1084337.  The books and journals have been rehoused in the library at Oak Hill Theological College, London N14 4PS, where the Latimer Trust office is now situated.

Current activities
Since 2001 the Trust has resumed its publishing activities, and maintains the interest in research by funding posts and offering small grants.  The first Director of Research (2006- ) is Gerald Bray; Research Fellows have been Matthew Sleeman (2001-5), Andrew Atherstone (2005- ) and Kirsten Birkett (2013-).  The Trust has been approached by international organisations to publish significant works, such as 'Being Faithful' and its predecessor, 'The Way, The Truth and the Life' for GAFCON (now the Fellowship of Confessing Anglicans).

I believe Breathwork is grounded in practical science, but delivers health and well-being in unknown ways. Come as you are and see where you can go.
"In the almost 10 years I have worked with Christine I am so impressed by her skills, Presence and gentle Spirit."
"In my first session, I followed Christine's guidance as she led me through breathing exercises that expanded my lung capacity and the effectiveness of my breath. But I was astonished to discover as I went into the process more deeply, and my breathing became more intense, how I entered another level where my old emotions and past history were worked throughout my body. The beauty was that I didn't have to say a word; I didn't have to relive any of the stories of the past. I just had to focus on breathing and following Christine's direction.
"Over the 40 years I have been practicing medicine I have come to understand that there are many mysteries involved in healing wounds. These mysteries lie in a realm that might be called a parallel universe or extra-ordinary reality. True healers are able to tune in to these mysteries on behalf of their clients and to be a channel for the forces of goodness and truth. From my own experience I can tell you that Christine is one of these people. Her Breathwork techniques, approach, and presence helped me open channels to deep healing. She is a midwife to the soul.

Israel Announces New Plan For Moon Landing, With The Beresheet 2 Project
After a failed first attempt last year, SpaceIL, a nonprofit Israeli initiative is back on its feet to take Israel to the moon. On Wednesday the organization announced that it is launching another lunar mission with its Israeli government partners.
As announced at the inauguration of the project on Wednesday, the Beresheet 2 project will aim to send three spacecraft (an orbiter and two landers), straight to the moon, in the hopes of a successful second attempt. Named after the first attempt, tagged Beresheet, or "Genesis," which unfortunately crashed just minutes before touchdown, this time Israel hopes to join the ranks of the U.S, Russia, and China in making a successful trip to the moon.
President Reuven Rivlin, who hosted a launch ceremony for the new project, said the country was "filled with pride" during last year's attempted landing. "Just a year and a half ago, we were here together, when Israel held its breath and looked to the stars. We anxiously watched the Beresheet spacecraft on its historic journey to the moon. We watched its long journey, were in wonder at the researchers, and were filled with pride at the Israeli daring and ability that flourished right here and at the groundbreaking work of Space IL. We were disappointed, and realized that we had to start once again from the beginning," he said. "Today, we are setting out on a new path, familiar but different, at the end of which we hope to land three spacecraft safely on the moon."
SpaceIL's chief executive, Shimon Sarid, said the project aims to inspire a new generation of scientists and researchers in a country known for its vibrant technology scene."We will do it by raising curiosity and hope, the ability to dream and realize and through strengthening technological education, research, science, and engineering for Israeli students," he said.
To go ahead with this project, this time, SpaceIL will be teaming up with Israel Aerospace Industries as well as the country's Science Ministry and national space agency. Beresheet 2 is expected to be launched into space in four years, and according to statements made by the nation's Science Minister, Yizhar Shai, seven countries including the United Arab Emirates, have expressed interest in joining the effort.
