Larry Mindel – 'Love in Troubled Times'
Larry Mindel makes evocative music for the ages that tells affectionate stories about grown-up people and their place in a complex world. Drawing on folk traditions and jazz harmonies, Larry explores the common ground that unites us to help us make sense of our times.
His latest album, 'Love in Troubled Times', his first of songs for piano, was recorded during the lull of 2020 lockdown, and features some of London's best young jazz musicians alongside players rooted in acoustic traditions. As is true for so many of us, Larry lost someone close to him during 2020, and the final song on the album 'Be Careful How You Go' captures the loss so many of us have felt.
If you are someone who loves to find a new album to listen to which is full of talent, powerful lyrics and a sound you will instantly fall in love with than you will love this incredible album. This album was the first bits of music I have heard from Larry, it's not the usual thing I would listen too, however as soon as I pressed play and began to listen to the album I was hooked. The instantly catchy and gripping sound combined with the beautiful vocals is such a joy to listen too.
What I love the most about this album is how each track tells a story which and every track will have you hooked so much that you will listen to every single word without fail. The tracks go through so many emotions, the listener will instantly connect with each track and I believe will relate to a lot of the lyrics.
This album is impossible not to listen to from beginning to end, Larry has created something that sounds so special and will awake every hair on the back of your neck. It's hard to pick a favourite but if I had to pick one, I would have to go with 'Be Careful How You Go', it's vocals are spot on and the lyrics really caught my attention and I instantly related to them. There was something about this track that caught my attention and made this track just that extra bit special which made it stand out.
A brilliant album!

Family of Innovators: The Rays' quest for modernity
The Rays Before Satyajit: Creativity and Modernity in Colonial India
By Chandak Sengoopta
Virtually everybody has heard of the filmmaker, writer, graphic artist, and composer Satyajit Ray (1921-1992) but except for Bengalis, few know much about the exploits of his formidable ancestors and their kinsfolk. And yet, over years of versatile creative engagements, Upendrakishore Ray (1863-1915), his father-in-law Dwarakanath Ganguli (1844-1898), his brother-in-law Hemendramohan Bose (1864-1916), his son Sukumar (1887-1923), and daughter-in-law Suprabha (the parents of Satyajit) charted new paths in literature, art, religious reform, nationalism, business, advertising, and printing technology. Not simply a chronicle of one family's extraordinary accomplishments, the history of the Rays and their collateral connections is also a history of some lesser-known facets of Indian modernity.
From Scribes to Professionals: The earliest known members of the Ray family belonged to the scribal classes of Mughal-era Bengal. After the coming of the British, the family made successful transitions into a variety of new roles and professions whilst avoiding white-collar office-work, law and medicine – the favoured option for most of their scribal peers. This unusual approach has been retained well into the present – unlike most Indians of the modern period, hardly any of the Rays have ever held an office job or been a lawyer or doctor.
From Zamindar to Artisan: Not all the transitions negotiated by the Rays were socio-economic. At least one was profoundly personal. One branch of the clan, who were wealthy landowners in Mymensingh in eastern Bengal, adopted Kamadaranjan Ray, the five-year-old son of a kinsman and installed him under the new name of Upendrakishore as the son and heir of the family. Shuttled between two different social identities from childhood, the artistically gifted Upendrakishore never fully embraced either. At odds with the mainstream Hindu faith of his adoptive as well as biological families and not keen on living as a rural landowner or a scribe, he moved to Calcutta, studied science, became an artisan (repairing musical instruments and then establishing himself as a photographer) and writer, converted to Brahmoism, and married Bidhumukhi, the daughter of one of the great Brahmo radicals of the age, Dwarakanath Ganguli.

Brahmoism, Social Reform, and Modernity: A monotheistic variety of Hinduism influenced by Unitarian Christianity, the Brahmo faith never had too many adherents but its social reform initiatives were highly influential. One of the greatest Brahmo reformers was Upendrakishore's father-in-law Dwarakanath Ganguli. The founder of one of the earliest Bengali journals for and about women, he and his associates established two boarding schools for girls, where Ganguli himself did most of the teaching and which were the very first girls' schools to prepare their students for university.
The New Woman: One of Ganguli's students, Kadambini Basu (c.1862-1923), eventually became one of the first two women graduates of Calcutta University, and as if that weren't enough, went on to enroll in medical school, becoming one of the first women doctors in India. Just before commencing her medical studies, she raised many eyebrows by marrying her mentor Dwarakanath Ganguli, who was nearly twenty years her senior and a widower with two children. It turned out to be a very successful match, proving that the New Woman could excel in both professional and personal life.

The New Nation: Dwarakanath Ganguli's reformism was not confined to the private, domestic sphere. Along with many of his Brahmo associates, he worked energetically to build up one of the earliest nationalist bodies in British India, the Indian Association. Founded in 1876, it predated the Indian National Congress by some ten years and one of its most striking initiatives was Dwarakanath Ganguli's investigation of the ill-treatment of tea-garden labourers in Assam. Ganguli's exposés appalled people across Bengal and India and triggered revisions of colonial labour laws.
The Very Image of the Modern: Whilst working as a photographer, Upendrakishore grew interested in the printing of photographs. The booming print culture of nineteenth-century Bengal could only offer woodcuts and Upendrakishore was the first Indian to master the new half-tone process that captured intermediate tones between black and white and, therefore, enabled a printed picture to retain the tonal variations of the original. Learning this complex craft entirely from books and instruments he procured from England, Upendrakishore soon become the premier blockmaker of Calcutta. Although he was never to step outside India, he also attained a global reputation with articles in the leading British journal on printing technology proposing improvements to the half-tone process. His highly-praised innovations reversed the logic of the colonial marketplace, in which the West was in charge of all innovation and the East merely a grateful purchaser.
Importing, Advertising and Selling the Modern: Upendrakishore was a businessman but it was research and innovation that lay closest to his heart. His brother-in-law Hemendramohan Bose (1864-1916) was very different. A very successful perfumer, Bose's innovative advertising campaigns for his cosmetic products – especially the literary competition named after his hair oil Kuntaleen, which pioneered product placement in India – deserve a place in any history of modern advertising in South Asia. Bose was also among the first indigenous businessmen to sell phonographs, phonographic recordings (including of Rabindranath Tagore singing his patriotic songs), bicycles, and motor cars to the Calcutta gentry.
Edutainment and the Future Nation: Upendrakishore wrote and illustrated for children from his undergraduate days, contributing prolifically to the new children's magazines emerging in nineteenth-century Bengal. Brahmos were prominent in this field too, and the project complemented their involvement with women's education. The overarching aim was to create a true civil society in India, where men and women would participate equally (though not identically) and which would be constantly replenished by young people inculcated with the right values. Perhaps the most famous exemplar of this project was the magazine Sandesh, which Upendrakishore founded in 1913. Initially written and illustrated entirely by Upendrakishore and printed with his own blocks, Sandesh represented the culminating achievement of his career, combining his literary gifts, artistic abilities, technological wizardry, and artisanal insistence on doing everything with his own hands.
After Upendrakishore – New Identities and Old Values: Upendrakishore's eldest son Sukumar (1887-1923) was a worthy successor to his father. His nonsense writings extended the family's hegemony over children's literature and despite being clearly inspired by Carroll and Lear, were Indian and Bengali to the core. Charismatic and gregarious, he was also a leading young activist of the Brahmo Samaj and engaged in many a battle with its elders. His wife Suprabha combined tradition and modernity in a different way. After her husband's tragically early death and the bankruptcy of the family business, she and her son Satyajit – delivered by the aging Dr Kadambini Ganguli – faced a calamitous situation, from which they were saved by a combination of old values and new identities. The widow and her son, not even three years old at the time, found a home with Suprabha's brother and the future filmmaker grew up in the kind of large and traditional joint family that unimaginative Bengali modernists considered stifling. His mother, meanwhile, took up a job, which was uncommon even amongst the Brahmo women of the time, taught her son at home (he was sent to school only when he was eight), sculpted (often selling her work for good money), and took charge of the kitchen (her cooking was supposed to be superlative) for her brother's large household. Meanwhile, her son, although not yet displaying much talent, was silently assimilating the values, priorities, and, inevitably, the limitations of the entire tradition that his mother represented with such consummate skill. Satyajit Ray's cinematic odyssey would be dazzlingly original but it was also, in many ways, a continuation of his family's long quest for a modernity that was authentically Indian and confidently global.

What a fascinating history!
Debal Deb 2nd May 2016
Nice article. But I wonder why the author omitted two important facts: (a) Upendrakishore was the first Indian to be a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, and (b) he introduced half-tone block making — which ushered in a new era of printing high-fidelity black-and-white photographs.Later, Sukumar improved on this halftone printing technique.


I went to Bisley over the weekend to take part in the Armistice Shoot to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of The Great War. There were five matches shot and a sixth being the aggregate of the five that were shot. I ended up in 35th place out of 115 completed entries. The matches were shot at 200 yards on Century range, targets 71 to 100 being used. Entry was limited to 120 and the idea was for as many people as possible to use a service rifle from that period, preferably an SMLE but other arms were permitted. As it turned out, about 115 SMLEs were on the line plus a Lebel, a G98 Mauser and a couple of other rifles. Some were dressed in the uniform of the day, the Lebel user turned out in full French uniform and looked very smart. I did not get a photo of him though. The G98 Mauser user was also in full uniform complete with spiked helmet. The main attraction of the day was a firing demonstration of a Vickers machine gun. He went through nearly 2000 rounds of ammo and the gun got very hot. The ammo was a mixture of HXP and PPU. I'm glad I wasn't paying for it.
A few pics of the day.
On the range at 7am. A bit misty.
First match with fixed bayonets.
We had to take our turn marking targets. I had target 80 on Century range.
The target used for the rapid shoot.
The Vickers. It got a bit hot at the end.
I have a bit of video of the Vickers in action, but don't know how to post it here.
A very good day it was.
Good post Peter. Glad you took the time. That "rapid shooting" target looks a big unfathomable. What are the two wedges for?
The target is designed to confuse. I shot a bit low and got 2x5, 3x4 and 5x3. The course of fire for all the matches is attached.
Looks like a great time Peter, MG action is always a show stopper.
Great pics Peter and congratulations on a good placing, did you use a SMLE?
Joe, yes I was using an SMLE though mine is a BSA dispersal rifle made in 1942 and not of WW1 vintage. The bayonet I used is dated 1917 so that was of the correct age.
I sold my 1911 MkIII a while ago Peter, I only have my CLLE Volunteer now, it being the only .303 I now own since selling my P14 recently.
My shooting abilities are definitely on the downward slope these days, though I am still shooting the HARC miniature leagues again this season despite my dismal results last year, after all it's good fun.
I am shooting in the HARC league in the standing deliberate. I came second in division 3 last time using my Mossberg M42-B lend-lease rifle. I don't think I will be appearing in division 1 any time soon. As you say, a bit of fun and also an excuse to get the old rifles to the range.


(NEW ORLEANS, La.) – The Carnegie Mellon University men's and women's track and field teams had 14 Mideast All-Region honors awarded to its athletes by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) for the 2018 outdoor track and field season. Nine represent the women while five represent the men with three receiving multiple honors.
To be named All-Region, an athlete must either be ranked in the top-five of an individual event in the region according to final TFRRS data or be part of a top-three relay team. A total of 743 men and 667 women were selected from the eight regions in NCAA Division III. The organization first began recognizing All-Region award winners in 2016.

Up Your Esports Game at Gametime in Auburn Hills
This spot is for sports, but not the kind you think. Learn about the esports options offered at Gametime in Auburn Hills and what benefits digital athletics can have for your kid.
By Amanda Rahn
Gametime, a 10,000-square-foot sports facility, opened in Auburn Hills two months ago – but you won't find any balls or cleats there. The facility doesn't offer sports like football or soccer – it offers esports.
Esports may sound niche, says Jon Vokal, 20, manager at Gametime, but it's incredibly popular. "The esports industry is a billion-dollar industry," he says. People flock to Gametime for launch parties, tournaments and to use the roughly 30 computers outfitted with top gaming tech.
It's the only one of its type in the Midwest, Vokal adds, with gaming rigs decked out to meet professional standards – some costing upwards of $5,000. Other gaming facilities exist, he explains, but they focus more on consoles.
"We're very much PC-focused," he says. "It's really hard to justify people coming out to play on gaming consoles, since those only cost a couple hundred dollars."
Another draw for gamers is the chance to play near some of the best egamers in the country.
Vokal is looking to develop young gamers at the facility, too. They've already partnered with two high schools – Lake Orion and Ferndale – to work with high school esports athletes.
"You develop a gamer just like any other athlete," he says. "Plus, there's a significant number of colleges offering scholarships for egamers."
Gametime is located at 3880 Lapeer Road in Auburn Hills and is open 11 a.m.-10 p.m. daily. Admission is $10/hour. There is a $2 discount for students. For more information visit gametimegg.com.

It's not the done thing to talk about it but everyone dies someday leaving some property behind. And the state has to do something with it. The decision the state takes may sometimes be unfair. We'll tell you a few words about inheritance, its nature, its types and the problems with its registration.
Inheritance implies real estate, motor vehicles, jewels, money and securities that become descendible after the owner's death.
Both tangibles and property rights can be inherited. For example, if an ancestor wrote a book but died before the book was published, the heir is entitled to the right to get the royalty of the book sales.
At the same time, when inheriting an apartment bought on credit, the heir accepts an obligation to pay off the loan balance.
The only thing you can't transfer by succession is the property rights that are inseparably related to the person. They may include alimony, personal property rights or intangibles.
There are two ways of inheriting something: by right of inheritance and under the will. Inheritance under the will is more reliable as it's quite obvious who the heir is and what he or she is going to inherit as well as who is going to get nothing even if he or she is related to the departed.
Third category heirs: uncles and aunts.
The heirs from the fourth to the seventh categories: relatives "to the seventh generation", people that lived with the testator for at least five years and the dependents even if they are not the deceased person's next of kin.
The heirs of the eighth and the last category: the state.
The beneficiaries receive an inheritance right in accordance with the strict priority, i.e. the first category heirs are the first to inherit the property. If there are no first category heirs or they renounced their right to benefit from the inheritance, this right passes over to the following categories. The state is the last to claim an inheritance.
Heirs shall register the inheritance during 6 month. If they missed this deadline they have to adjudicate their property rights.
One woman's husband died and bequeathed the house. 7 years after, the woman decided to devise this house to her children. But it turned out that the landsite wasn't registered as private and thus this house could not be considered the private property and descended. Second, the registration term expired long time ago and in fact this woman was not the house owner on the whole. We gave our support in registering this land plot as private and returned the title to property through the court action.
Having a testament is the best idea as all the heirs and beneficiaries are mentioned there. So, you just visit a notary according to your registration or the property location and register your inheritance. If all the documents are well-formalized and legalized and there are no counterparts you take possession of the property in half a year after the testator died.
If you have no testament, many nuances may arise. For example, a dispute may arise between the relatives of the same heir category as they can't specify their property shares. Or some problems may arise with the property and no one knows how to settle these problems.
In all the problematic circumstances, one has to know a lot of nuances that may have both positive and negative effect over the heir's case. That is really a conundrum for those who have never had anything to do with Law. Thus, you'll need the attorney's advice or intrusion.
Even when everything seems clear consult us to be on the safe side. We'll find the points that need your special attention in your case, check all the documents and specify the hidden pitfalls. That will help you to come into an inheritance easily and without any losses.

Under the Dogfluence
One of the PR points repeated in the Under the Dog crowdfunding campaign (disclosure: I backed it) is that these creators struggle with production committees not taking a stab at the global audience, and instead are inwardly focused on the domestic, "moe" crowd. This sounds okay to me, but it also sounds like a truism and misses the point.
I am all for addressing that risk-averseness and the tendency for these funding committees to ride that bicycle, so to speak, that there is no gain if no risk is taken. However I think poorly of the "targeting oversea audience" bit. It basically comes down to how we define anime and why we like it.
In some sense, I work on the assumption that ultimately Japanese fans like a lot of the stuff oversea fans like. There is a huge common ground. The question is more so, how do we tap the wallets of these people, who are probably not going to dole out $$$ to buy a standee, or whatever iconic act of being able to gravy-train a vertical.
In that sense, it's putting the money before the product. A more natural perspective is how do we enable the creation of "marketed animation projects" in which delight fans per se, but are outside the influence of that creative committee? By "marketed animation projects" I mean distinctly something that's not like the pioneering crowdfunded project, Kick-Heart.
Kick-Heart (disclaimer: I backed it) is a cool art short (15 minutes) by Masaaki Yuasa and given the amount of work that went into it, I think it's a fair trade. In this sense we are engaging the production of animation in a pure way: backers pay and get what they paid for. We are literally buying anime. You are not even buying an ad that's made to sell what it adopted from, let alone buying into some long-term arrangement (eg., being a P, or something about identity politics, whatever) that is more like a relationship than a simple purchase. I'm not sure anyone who isn't into arthouse-type animations will pay into Yuasa's kickstarter in a significant way. That's not to mention, if you will recall, the whole significance of Kick-Heart Kickstarter about funding independence and giving animators good enough pay. It never was clear if crowdfunding can be a solution to those issues then, and even today, but it certainly doesn't hurt to try. The problem with that is, to me, that becomes a false motive in terms of why a rational entity will put money behind a crowdfunding effort, once the rhetorics and sense of bandwagoning fade away. In other words, it is all idealism, not really something backed by a matter of practical proof.
Of course, I do hope that there are enough of us out there that would gladly fund a lot of anime, over time, via crowdfunding. I just think the four that I've backed (Santa Company, LWA2, UTD, and KH; and they're different from localization projects like BGC, Mai Mai Miracle, Time of Eve, etc.) only indicate that there's money there. And it's probably one reason why (of many) Japan hasn't gone ahead with a more land-grab style production en mass on Kickstarter. It's a legitimate concern as to how much money per period of time that the crowdfunding community can support in terms of anime productions. After all, anime is kind of expensive to make well. Given the cost of failure on a crowdfunding project (which probably deserve more study from a bizdev point of view), is it worth the while to have more animators pitch on Kickstarter? It's a real question that we need answers to before we can answer questions that Hiroaki Yura kind of parried about how crowdfunding is an alternative to committees.
Which is to say, UTD is not any of this. To me, UTD wants to create something cool, and the anime is just a vehicle. What I like about their PR, despite their aging assumption on anime fans and fansubs, is that they clearly just wanted to do this anime in ways they exactly wanted. I'm not going to ever disagree with that being a good reason to head to the crowdfunding market. But that implies some things. For example, most likely Ishii has already pitched the idea at some point and he wasn't happy with the changes. The question is then, why did they wanted to do it? Because, if you've read their sales pitch, is because the creative team behind UTD believes in Ishii's script and ideas, and want to turn it into something. And I'm not sure they can deliver, because that something is not just an anime.
I think here are some questions people should ask:
1. Why anime? And not, say, a video game? This struck me the most relevant after thinking it through. And the answer, as far as I can gather from reading the various AMA or KS updates or Otakon reports, is because some of the creative people wanted to do an anime because of prior experiences, relationships and situations. To that I think it's great, but also it reflects sort of on the nature of the production. In Ando's capacity, anime is probably the best format, and I expect that group to hand in some quality work–maybe not GITS movies level but certainly very good. But when you commit to release an OVA, you are kind of committing to a certain release format (Short Piece aside, I guess), a certain way of funding it, and a certain way of marketing it. This changes dramatically once you want to release a PS4 game, or a live action movie, and it can actually address some of their concerns from the funding point of view.
2. Why the assumption that there are enough people out there that would enjoy a 1997-style, GITS/Akira-influenced story? Those are successful anime franchises that failed to monetize in a big way in recent years. Does UTD address this concern? I mean if you are any kind of an old aniota over in the west, you might remember the large number of failed western-targeting anime works that dotted the 90s? Do we really want another Armitage or Appleseed? Do we even want to cater to fans who like Armitage and Appleseed today? [Bonus: Do we even want to cater to fans who liked Sword of the Stranger? It's a great movie that gained little traction in the USA.]
[Okay, I guess we can even go a step further and talk about making anime on nostalgia and is it really a good idea rather than spend that energy to make something newer, but I don't think we're far enough to make a claim like that.]
3. How are they going to market it? Without the help of production companies how can you reach the not-hardcore, or fallen-out fans who might actually enjoy UTD more than fans who like modern stuff in the post-moe period?
4. What if UTD sucksis not so good? This is the kind of concern that SC, LWA and KH are immune to. The fact that Yuasa is making an anime is already going to bring a smile to my face; even if he drew stick figures it'll turn out awesome, because the guy is a freaking genius and we measure the output of his work on its merit (ie., Art House vs. Hollywood). LWA episode 1 is "young animators" and there's no way LWA episode 2 is going to be worse as that limitation is gone. And at worst it's not going to be worse than Kill la Kill as far as an animation vehicle, so that's a baseline guarantee because of what we know about Trigger as a 100% Trigger production. In KH and LWA the backers are literally buying animation for animation's sake. UTD strikes me more like "hey Ishii has a cool idea/script and these pro animators want to do it, let's let them." which is perfectly okay but it really requires a lot of faith. CANAAN comes to mind. And that's sort of the ironic complication about UTD–part of it is about the hype, but the hype works against the clarity to ascertain the quality of the production. In other words, if Yura and company took the money and created something nobody liked, they still have to be okay with it. We have to be okay with it, even if that's not what they're selling anymore. Is this true?
I don't want to come away being negative, and there's a good reason not to be. UTD is actually the kind of anime kickstarter that is more anime than most. By that I mean the UTD crowdfunding addresses directly the problem about making "anime" as we know it. LWA and Kick-Heart, to me, is not what people think when they think about anime. It's not televised and it's not a marketing campaign to sell crap. That UTD kind of wants to not be such a thing but is kind of asking people to fund it so it can behave similarly is a direct challenge to that committee-based production model. This is the real crowdfunding anime against the machine, guys.
PS. What if Santa Company tanks? Answer: It is impossible. Santa Company is an anime about kids and Santa Claus, it's a bulletproof concept like cute babies or weird Japanese animal mascots. And maybe that's a more honest approach: the buzz words used for UTD triggers. As an anime fan who's been around since Akira, I lost track how many crap shows tried to use that moniker to sell itself over the 25+ years since. I'm not so sure those marketing terms are any good; actually the fact that anime fandom in the west are still stuck on it is a troubling sign. And to be less unfair, that includes fans who tried to describe shows using that word, or just because a certain staff worked on Akira or Evangelion or Bebop or whatever popular works these animators have connections to. Calling me a skeptic is a truism, and it's important to see UTD for what it is. Thankfully it's nothing that terrible.
PPS: Kickstarter for UTD, ANNCast, Live Stream, Reddit AMA, Otakon stuffs?
PPPS: Here's something fundamental about the way I see anime. On this blog, I tag my anime as categories and via WordPress, I use a parent category to track all these names for shows. The parent category is called "Franchises." I realize this is not how most people look at anime, but somebody's got to do it. I like, and it tickles, that UTD's marketing bucks my way of doing things from the get go.

This radio was manufactured by Coronado for the Gamble-Skogmo department store chain. This is a really fine example of the "Racetrack" model, named for its oval dial. The cabinet is Bakelite painted white with blue plastic knob, dial and handle. Blake went through the radio, replacing all of the capacitors, checked the tubes and resistors replacing where needed. This five-tube, AM only radio works well across the dial, utilizing an internal "loop" antenna. The cabinet is in good condition, as are the original knobs and handle. 9"W x 7-1/2"H x 5-1/2"D.

We're excited to announce our partnership with Georgia HEART in an effort to support rural hospitals throughout the state. We're working together to increase hospital funding while improving access to healthcare for thousands of Georgians.
So, where do Georgia taxpayers fall into the mix? Beginning January 1, 2017, Georgia taxpayers will have the opportunity to make a charitable donation to a qualified rural hospital of their choosing. Not only do contributors get to pick from a number of hospitals, but they are also in control of how their money will be spent. Once the donation has been made, taxpayers will receive a state income tax credit for 70 percent of the amount of the contribution. In addition, those who itemize their deductions will be able to take a charitable income tax deduction on their federal income tax returns.
For more information on the Georgia HEART Hospital Program, visit www.georgiaheart.org .

Staff Pride Network
The Staff Pride Network is an inclusive network that serves as a resource for the rich diversity of LGBT+ employees across the institution, including PhD students who prefer to attend staff events. We strive to take an intersectional approach to providing a safe, supportive and welcoming environment for all people who self identify as part of LGBT+ communities, whether or not they are 'out' in the wider world, and to make LGBT+ issues more visible within the University environment. Different organisations use different acronyms to refer to specific groups, and terminology is always evolving. Our definition of LGBT+ includes, among others, those who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, gender fluid, intersex, non-binary, asexual, pansexual and polyamorous. It also includes all those individuals and communities whose sexuality or gender identity is a matter of shared personal, political and/or social experience, as well as those who are LGBT+ allies.

Staff Pride Network Newsletter – Issue 5
Welcome to the February 2018 edition of the
Staff Pride Network newsletter!
Happy LGBT+ History Month! As part of a diverse calendar of events (see the events section below for details), on Thursday 8 February we will launch our new official University of Edinburgh Rainbow Lanyards. This is a big step for the University – with funding from Communications & Marketing, we've decided on two designs for LGBT+ and Ally staff members. With such an obvious symbol, we can show to new staff, students, alumni and visitors that our workplace is inclusive, and our campuses can become walking rainbows! You can choose between the 'University of Edinburgh' or 'University of Edinburgh LGBT+ Ally' designs. Pick yours up at an event, or email us and we will send it to you in internal mail.
To reach out to the 13,000 staff across the University, we have ambitions to achieve SPN reps in every School or building, and Peter Tennant is leading this Site Rep project. Please read his introduction in this newsletter and email him if interested.
On a corporate level, we worked with Procurement to improve policy wording and they have now included a new 'LGBT+ community benefit' in their supplier contracts.
As well as the regular Central & KB lunchtime and evening socials and joint staff-student network monthly lunch, Gina organised a poignant event in November commemorating Transgender Day of Remembrance and in December Remus organised collection boxes in Uni buildings and a World AIDS Day discussion on HIV stigma.
Finally I'd like to express my thanks to all the SPN volunteers for their time and dedication, resulting in the University rising 132 places in the Stonewall Workplace Equality Index in the last year. At their Workplace Conference in November we were delighted to feature as a best practice example of a network starting up. We look forward to continuing our efforts to make the University an even more inclusive place to work and study.

Do you want to contribute to the empowerment of LGBT+ people at work and in business? If so, now is your chance to take part in an exciting project that aims to do just that. Also you will have opportunity of winning a £50 love2shop voucher! Researchers at Aston University are conducting an online survey to better understand the psychological experiences of LGBT+ people within the workplace, either as employees or as owner-managers of a business/social enterprise. The survey takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete and yourself as well as your employer/organisation will remain anonymous. The study is being funded by the British Academy and will be used to inform policies and practices surrounding LGBT+ inclusivity within workplaces as well as enabling the growth of LGBT+ entrepreneurs within the UK economy. For more details and to receive an online link to the survey, please click here.
Edinburgh's LGBT football team, HotScots FC are having a 5-a-side competition in February for LGBT History Month.

The Network has received a request from a PhD student examining psychological wellbeing, acculturation and identity amongst British Muslims of Pakistani heritage who have same-sex attraction. Read the full request.
My name is Peter Tennant and as Site Rep Lead I'm looking for volunteers from across the University to be Site Reps for their area. The main purpose of the role is to help to promote the SPN and upcoming events, but also act as a local point of reference to feedback info and ideas. Based at the Western General campus, I am a post-doctoral researcher working on therapeutic gene editing and in my spare time I love to bake, but thankfully I'm also a keen runner. I am really excited to take on this lead role and hope that through recruiting Site Reps for all areas of the university, we can reach all LGBT+ colleagues and allies. I am passionate about ensuring that the great work the SPN does benefits all LGBT+ colleagues and allies, no matter where in the university they may be based. That's why we need you. Remember this is your network, we want it to work for you!
If you wish to take part, please get in touch with me at Peter.Tennant@igmm.ed.ac.uk

We have been contacted by an undergraduate Sports and Exercise Science student from Napier University whose honours project looks into the low numbers of LGBT+ athletes, and homophobia in sport, sport to hopefully find ways to overcome this about allow people to freely take part in any activity without fear of judgement. To this end, she is seeking respondents to a short, anonymous questionnaire about their experiences in or around sport. If you wish to take part, you can take the survey here.
Transgender Remembrance Day 2017 was held on 19 November 2017. The event was organised by our Trans Rep Gina Maya, and more than forty people attended the event, staff and students, LGBT+ and Allies. You can read more about the event on Gina's website.
TransEDU is a website and resource that provides data on and for transgender students and staff in Further and Higher Education, funded by Strathclyde University as well as the Leadership Council and the Scottish Grant Council.

The recent filing of a proposed class action targeting Mondelez International, Inc. for the amount of empty space in its Sour Patch Watermelon candy boxes is the latest lawsuit targeting consumer goods manufacturers for "slack-fill" packaging. The case, which is pending in the Southern District of New York, is part of a rising tide against makers of everything from laundry detergent to pet food for allegedly misleading consumers about how much product is actually inside of a box, bag or bottle.
Inability to increase the level of fill or to reduce the size of the package (e.g., to provide for label placement, accommodate tamper-resistant devices, etc.).
Litigation in this area is burgeoning, and is seen as a ripe area for continued litigation across the country. Class actions in both state and federal court allege not only violations of the FDCA, but also state law regimes, either codified (e.g., Sections 12601-12615.5 of the California Business and Professions Code) or common law (state consumer protection and merchandising practices laws). Consumer class actions routinely allege the presence of non-functional slack-fill sufficient to constitute misrepresentation to consumers. In the last several years, major companies including Mars, Inc. (packaging of M&M's® Minis), and Unilever (AXE/Degree® deodorant) have been the subject of putative class actions, with varying success. Regardless of the merits of the claims, they require active litigation and the incurring of ancillary costs of defense.
With the increasing frequency of slack-fill related filings, it is incumbent on all consumer good and food production companies to audit their product stock and their packaging. Companies should examine packaging to determine the accuracy of representations in labeling, evaluate and document production processes related to filling of packaging, and document when appropriate any determination for the need of functional slack-fill meeting any of the six criteria outlined above. Companies may also want to evaluate the utility of providing explanatory comments on packaging or modifying packaging to avoid slack-fill claims.

Jill Halstead is an associate professor at the Grieg Academy, University of Bergen where she is part of the music therapy research group GAMUT. She is director of the Grieg Research School in Interdisciplinary Music Studies, which provides research education in the west coast region for doctoral candidates in the fields of music therapy, musicology, artistic practice and music education. She gained her PhD in music from the University of Liverpool, UK in 1995. Her research is interdisciplinary and has focused on issues of gender and music, popular music and embodiment. As a musician she specializes in collaborative devising projects often working with dance and film.
The body has become a central theme in the humanities and social sciences over recent years, yet it often remains an "absent presence" in relation to music therapy. My on-going research explores issues of embodiment in musical experience, and as such seeks to highlight what the trans disciplinary field of body studies has to offer music therapy. In this presentation I will focus on disappearing and "dys-appearing" bodies in music therapy discourse to suggest how rethinking the body, by "thinking through the body", may offer fresh perspectives on the nature of musical experience and meaning making.

Location of files for the final project in Getting and Cleaning Data

The script works as follows:

- Datasets are downloaded
- Using the features dataset, the names are applied to the x_train and x_test datasets
- A grep command is used to extract column names with 'mean' of 'std' in them
- These are then combined
- The 'Activity Number' is replaced by the activity name
- This is combined with the dataset containing the means and standard deviations
- A loop is than called that subsets according to subject and activity
- For each subject and activity combination, means of all the variables are extracted and outputted into a row vector
- This is then placed into a new dataset using rbind
- Once all combinations are done, this is written to a text file using the write.table() command

Tillerson's comments came after he visited the demilitarized zone separating North and South Korea – a heavily fortified strip of land that may be the tensest place on the planet.
Although the Korean War is technically over for the U.S., the North and South are still very much at war – maintaining guard towers and thousands of troops facing each other, waiting for the next invasion.
The buffer zone created by the 1953 Armistice between North and South is called the demilitarized zone (DMZ), although there's a huge military presence. This border is filled with fencing, mines, and troops on both sides with itchy trigger fingers.
We've picked out the highlights from National Geographic's Inside North Korea and other sources.
The Korean War may seem like it's over, but the armistice of 1953 only brought on a stalemate and both North and South are still at war.
And attacks have happened many times. North Korean soldiers killed two US Army officers here in 1976 at "The Bridge of No Return" — named because captured NK prisoners hardly ever wished to go back home.
… the North responded with a taller one, at 525 feet.
And although the South actually has people inside its town, the North's is a "propaganda village" with empty buildings in a feeble attempt to gain defectors from the South.
… as 3 North Korean soldiers stand opposite. Rumor is that they face each other in case one decides to run into the South. The one facing the camera likely keeps anyone else from heading south.
But sometimes messages need to be passed. Although they have an old crank phone, the North doesn't always respond.
And in between there are buildings set up for meetings between the two countries, which don't get used very often.
In this small room, a tourist can walk around the conference table and say they've been in both North and South Korea.
But if they need to open the door into the North, they hold hands to make sure they're not pulled in.

All is fair in love? Even murder? That's the question posed by this funny suspense comedy about a love triangle in a Howard Johnson Motor Inn. In the first scene the wife and her lover plot to murder the husband. In the second scene the wife and her husband reconcile and of course plot to murder the lover. The third scene has the husband and the wife's lover finally concluding that the wife is the cause of all of this mess and so… they plot to murder the wife. You'll have to see how it turns out!!!

Previose Post: The Comedy "Baggage" Was a Hilarious Success!


A student of Kaare Klint, Ole Wanscher was a leading figure in the design movement, and took over Klint's post at the academy, teaching through 1973. Like his mentor, Wanscher cited an eclectic array of influences – from furniture of 18th century Britain to that of Ancient Egypt – leading to his so-called Egyptian Stool of 1960. With an emphasis on the demands of mass-production, he is perhaps best known for his teak easy chair of 1951. He would later publish a 5,000-year history of furniture.


Hurrah! We have a new interview with the developer. This week top-person is Pavel Novitsky, the creator of the best-selling module Facebook-All-In-One and many others.
Pavel is 27. He studied Mathematics and built his academic career quickly. By the time of his graduation from Belarusian State University he had already developed and patented some technologies. Though, he had left science to concentrate on E-Commerce.
Pavel has 8 years of web-development experience and works with Magento from it's beginning.
Pavel is married and has a five-years-old son (whom he calls his major achievement). He prefers music and reading philosophy, detectives, adventure stories and "Winnie-the-Pooh" for relaxation.
How long have you been dealing with the social networks?
At the beginning I started with social networking development, but then I moved to Magento Facebook Extensions. It was about five years ago. You don't believe me? Then take into account, that I invented Facebook (not Mark Zucherberg), Internet and even a computer machine (laughing out loud).
To be serious, I have recently shared my experience on Meet Magento Belarus. [you can find this report in our blog soon].
What are the main features of Facebook-All-In-One module?
With Facebook-All-In-One your customers can easily and safely log in with the help of their Facebook-accounts. They can also like your store pages or the purchases they've made. Facebook-All-In-One helps your store visitors to send their friends direct messages on e-mails, leave comments and share wish-lists. And you can view these activities with the help of the Recent Activity block. Moreover, you can customize all featured functions to fulfill your expectations.
For what purposes do you use Facebook at work?
I test new extensions, of course, read E-Commerce news, chat with other developers. Well, I try to do everything I do for working purposes, but sometimes it's difficult not to look aside.
How much time are you spending on Facebook daily?
Oh, actually I'm almost living there – I'm online 24 hours a day. But when I am at home, I usually concentrate on my family and forget about social networks.
What module are you working on now?
I work on several modules, but they have nothing to do with social networks. Recently I spent developing back-end and administration extensions and Magento Enterpise Modules. Since BelVG became Magento Enterprise Developer it's a priority.
What are you waiting for about Magento in the nearest future?
I wait for Magento 2.0 and its new advantages comming soon. I hope it will be even better and faster than the old one and will bring new clients, ideas and inspiration.
Pavel is open for all your questions. You can contact him on Facebook or by e-mail: pavel@belvg.com.

The hotel spa did my hair. I recommendthis. My friends were going to do it but last minute we decided to do it at the spa. Glad we did cause it was more stress free. Book that in advance cause only 1 person could go at a time so we bribed the girl to lets 2 girls go at once and they took the $20 without question.


In honor of Father's Day coming up this month, I chatted with Tim Tiger, amazing father to five equally amazing children, who also happens to be co-founder and CFO of Durga Tree International. I was eager to hear his story from a male abolitionist point of view. I work with so many women volunteers who instinctively gravitate toward this cause because of their "mama bear" nature. I wanted to hear his "papa bear" story and his thoughts on the abolitionist movement to eradicate modern human slavery.
Me: As a father, why did you become involved in this movement?
Tim: As a father (after my divorce), I became acutely aware of what my children think of me. Before I did something, I would think, "If my kids found out, would I be proud (of what I had done)?" You have to have a quality of life you believe in and it trickles down into the way they (children) live their lives and protect their family. I became involved because we (Beth and I) had a feeling that there was a huge unfairness in what was going on at the shelter in India. When we looked into it a bit deeper, we had to get more involved. The more we found out, the more our eyes were opened, the more I realized we had to become completely involved (in the abolition movement).
Me: What is the man's role as an abolitionist?
Tim: Men should be more involved directly. Men feel that they can say, "Here's my check." They don't feel being involved is important. The man who went to Guatemala with us saw the difference between being involved and writing a check. We need their checks, but also need their actions, too. There are more women involved because it's more of a nurturing organization. Since men are a large part of the problem, they need to be a large part of the solution.
Me: What can men and women do to help?
Tim: Everybody, men and women, men especially, need to realize their purchasing power and knowledge, paying a little bit more (for well made, fair trade items) is a better deal than buying super cheap. As a man moving forward in life, being conscious on where things come from is very important. Having children, we realize moving forward, it (human trafficking) can affect them more than they realize, that their children could become involved in it.
Me: Why are you excited about Durga Tree's Bloom program?
Tim: I'm really excited about this new program and giving people coming out of this horrible cycle an opportunity to be part of a program that will help them have a better life down the road. As a male abolitionist, it's exciting to give the kids in Guatemala a chance to have their own opportunities. It was very intriguing to see someone have that (opportunity) and exciting to see it come full circle and how quickly she could better her life style. As a business owner, giving people a shot to be part of the business and have profit sharing and ability to grow with the company is satisfying. A lot of people should have that opportunity!
Me: Do you have any words of advice for people?
Tim: Stop being so damn selfish!
That's some great "papa bear" advice! When we come out of our shells a bit and give a little of ourselves to others, whether it be fighting against trafficking, volunteering at school or even paying for the order for the person behind us at the drive-thru, we are gifted right back through the gratitude and love received. And as a father and abolitionist, Tim knows that first hand. Whether you are a "papa bear" or a "mama bear," you can make a huge difference in the lives of others just by giving the gift of yourself.

Altazores es una banda chilena de rock fundada en 2004 por el músico multiinstrumentista y compositor chileno Mauricio Herrera quien después de escribir, grabar y producir sus canciones forma un grupo de músicos para las presentaciones en vivo.

La agrupación se hizo conocida por su tercer álbum 'Secreto detrás del caos', editado por la compañía discográfica Sello Azul, ya que su música y letras fueron contingentes a la Movilización estudiantil en Chile de 2011 considerada como una de las mayores y más importantes desde el retorno a la democracia.

Desde 2004 el grupo ha lanzado cuatro álbumes oficiales y 13 sencillos, entre ellos un Ep en vivo y tres discos recopilatorios.

El grupo lleva su nombre en homenaje al poema Altazor o el viaje en paracaídas, obra cumbre del poeta chileno Vicente Huidobro.

Historia

Formación y primeros años (2002-2007)
En julio de 2002, Mauricio Herrera de diecisiete años, escribe su primera canción titulada "Cuando te vuelva a ver" para interpretarla como homenaje durante el funeral de su compañero de colegio Diego Pérez asesinado en un asalto en la comuna de Santiago. Esta situación crea tal impacto en Herrera que decide ingresar al año siguiente a estudiar licenciatura en Música y Sonido en la universidad, allí conoció al baterista Patricio Gallardo y al bajista José Oñate con quienes junto a su ex compañero de colegio Rodrigo Ramírez en la segunda guitarra, serían la primera formación del grupo.

El 11 de diciembre de 2004, debutan bajo el nombre de "Altazores" cuando participan en el Quinto Festival Nacional de Bandas Jóvenes, organizado por el Corporación Cultural Balmaceda Arte Joven en una repleta Estación Mapocho donde obtienen el primer lugar con la canción "Antes del Alba (Eclipse de sol)", la que cuenta con arreglos de Ángel Parra (Hijo) integrante de la banda Los Tres y entonces profesor de guitarra eléctrica de Mauricio Herrera. El premio consistió en la edición de 500 copias de la canción ganadora y una guitarra eléctrica entregada por Claudio Narea. Esa misma noche, cerraron el concierto los grupos Chancho en Piedra, Cholomandinga y Sinergia. La semana siguiente, Mauricio registró el nombre con el giro de grupo musical en departamento de propiedad industrial de Chile, quedando como marca de su propiedad.

Primer álbum, El silencio no es callar (2007-2009)
En junio de 2007, lanzaron "Puedo creer en ti" primer sencillo de su disco debut, que fue parte de la banda sonora de la serie Tres son multitud, adaptación de versión estadounidense Three's Company, transmitida por Mega y producida por Lucky Partners.

El 11 de abril del 2008, autoeditaron su primer álbum en formato CD "El silencio no es callar", todas las canciones fueron escritas, compuestas y cantadas por Mauricio Herrera. El álbum se grabó en la sala de ensayo del grupo en la localidad de Batuco y en los estudios de la escuela de Música y Sonido de la Universidad UNIACC, el Ingeniero en sonido a cargo de la grabación fue Marcelo Mollinedo, la mezcla y mastering estuvo a cargo de Mariano Pavez en estudios Elastika. El sonido de "El silencio no es callar" tuvo un estilo de rock contemporáneo con claras influencias de bandas chilenas y británicas de los años 90, después de la entrada de Mauricio Gallardo en el bajo se presentaban en vivo solo como un trío. Entre abril y septiembre de ese mismo año lanzaron los sencillos "El silencio no es callar", "Eclipse de sol" y "En el Firmamento".

En marzo de 2009, lanzaron el sencillo doble "Árbol Caído" y "Deja vú", canciones que fueron parte de la banda sonora del docureality "Ultima Salida" emitido por Televisión Nacional de Chile, conducido por Patricia Espejo y producido por Roos Film. Este mismo mes, se estrena en la USACH, "La Grandesconocida" documental sobre Isidora Aguirre en el marco de los festejos de los 90 años de la connotada novelista y autora de grandes obras clásicas chilenas como "La Pérgola de las Flores". El documental, fue dirigido por Julio Pincheira y la banda sonora fue compuesta por Mauricio Herrera, la que incluyó además la canción "El Silencio no es callar".

Energía espiritual EP (2010)
En noviembre de 2010, autoeditan el álbum en vivo "Energía Espiritual EP" a partir del concierto realizado el 21 de octubre de 2010 en auditorio de la Universidad UNIACC. El único sencillo del disco fue la canción "La Redención" la que estuvo disponible como una descarga gratuita solo por una semana, desde lunes 25 de octubre en el sitio oficial de la agrupación, logrando más de 5000 descargas. "Energía espiritual EP" también estuvo disponible en 3 formatos: CD, DVD y mp3. El sonido del álbum destacó por la potente capacidad interpretativa de la nueva formación de Altazores que contó con Mauricio Herrera en la voz principal y guitarra eléctrica, Sergio Carlini en la batería (Difuntos correa, Verthebra, Matías Oviedo), el ingeniero en sonido Andrés Medina en el bajo y Nicolás Quinteros de la banda chilena de rock progresivo Delta en el piano y theremin.

La grabación del concierto estuvo cargo de Marcelo Mollinedo y por primera vez Mauricio Herrera demostró sus cualidades como sonidista, ya que estuvo a cargo de la mezcla y mastering en su estudio de grabación Eco Studios, en Santiago de Chile.

Éxito, Secreto Detrás del Caos (2011-2014)
El 19 de mayo de 2011, lanzaron su tercera producción "Secreto Detrás del Caos" editada por la compañía discográfica Sello Azul en la que han destacado en su catálogo artistas como Sinergia, Juana Fe, Teleradio Donoso o Camila Moreno entre muchos otros. Por primera vez, Altazores salió de la clandestinidad de la autogestión a los medios de comunicación masivos.

El disco fue compuesto, grabado y mezclado en Eco Studios por Mauricio Herrera y en FM Estudio del ingeniero en sonido Franco Maestri, luego fue masterizado por Joaquín García quien ha trabajado con músicos de la talla de Américo, Los Jaivas y Los Tres. El álbum cuenta con la participación de Álvaro Zambrano en sintetizadores, Nicolás Quinteros en el piano y theremin, Patricio Pailamilla en trompeta, Sergio Carlini en batería y Rodrigo de la Rivera en el bajo.

"Secreto detrás del caos" es el trabajo discográfico mejor recibido por la crítica y los seguidores del grupo, se distingue de los álbumes anteriores en cuanto a la producción, arreglos y temática, "Un disco completo y coherente en su propuesta sonora, con composiciones que se sienten frescas y novedosas y cuyo trabajo de arreglos alcanza niveles notables." afirmó el sitio Musica.cl en del junio de 2011.

El sonido del disco tiene una propuesta desafiante como en el sencillo 'Vida tirana' que mezcla el rock sinfónico con sonidos típicos de la zona norte de Chile y música electrónica o la canción "Todo esta hecho de luz" usando la voz como única instrumentación.

Herrera incorporó letras contingentes al acontecer político y social en Chile como en la canción "Molotov" que criticaba la fuerte represión por parte de Fuerzas Especiales de Carabineros durante las movilizaciones estudiantiles del 2011 o los sencillos "Todo tiene un final" y "Energía Espiritual" que se convirtieron en las canciones más exitosas y populares del disco; "Están detrás de la cortina los que roban todo tu poder/muy escondidos no se dejan ver/los que ponen adelante solamente son los títeres" relataba la canción sobre la profunda crisis de corrupción política en el país. "Altazores, una banda verdaderamente original en el contexto local. Con una propuesta energética y eléctrica, a veces hipnótica." publicó el sitio Emol.cl en septiembre del 2011.

Durante el 2012, la repercusión del álbum llevó a Mauricio Herrera a colaborar como guitarrista para distintos artistas como Francisco González (Lucybell) en la gira de su disco solista "Aquí y ahora" y también para Denisse Malebrán (Saiko) en la gira de su disco "Mi caravana" con quien partició el 12 de abril de 2012 en el concierto "Un Canto Para no Olvidar" espectáculo que se realizó en el en el Estadio Nacional de Chile con motivo de la creación de un memorial por las víctimas a la violación de los Derechos Humanos durante la dictadura militar, contando con la participación de artistas como Pedro Aznar, Andrea Echeverri, Sol y Lluvia, Inti Illimani Histórico, Quilapayún, Congreso, Ana Tijoux y Trey Spruance (Mr. Bungle, Faith No More).

Sentimiento colectivo EP (2014)
El sábado 26 de julio de 2014, lanzaron el disco "Sentimiento Colectivo EP" autoeditado por la banda, junto al sencillo "El derecho a la educación". El cuarto álbum de Altazores estuvo disponible de forma gratuita en formato mp3 desde la página oficial del grupo, registrando más de 2000 descargas. El sonido del álbum se alejó completamente del rock melódico de sus discos anteriores hacia el Deep house y EDM pero manteniendo las letras contingentes al ambiente social de Chile. El álbum fue escrito, grabado y mezclado por Herrera en Eco Studios y contó con el retorno de Patricio Gallardo, miembro inicial del grupo pero ahora a cargo del Bajo y Sergio Carlini en la batería.
