Various Artists - "Chimes Of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International" - compilation 4CD set, Fontana 7401001 (USA), 24 Jan 2012:
Fontana 7401001 (USA) - front with stickers, scan by Manuel García Jara This charity set of Dylan covers to be distributed by Universal/Fontana on behalf of Amnesty International was delayed until 24 Jan 2012, but has now been expanded to a 4CD set of 73 songs. The album was released internationally on 30 Jan 2012, and comes in a multi-fold digipak. The set was not originally intended to include Bob, but now contains his original recording of Chimes Of Freedom from Another Side Of Bob Dylan as track 18 on CD4. 70 of the songs are reported newly-recorded for this set, with all the artists and engineers working on a pro bono basis. Bob also recorded a duet of Chimes Of Freedom with Joan Osborne for the soundtrack of the US TV Series The '60s, see 1999.

On the US release the front panel with the album title is a sticker on the shrink-wrap of the sealed copy, so that the unsealed digipak has no front text. On the Australian and European releases below this panel is printed on the front of the digipak. Note the different spellings: "HONORING" (US) and "HONOURING" (Europe/Australia)! Also the European front sticker at bottom left includes the Fontana catalogue number, the US and Australian stickers do not, while the US sticker has top text "SPECIALLY PRICED" missing from the European and Australian stickers. All three sets of CDs have "HONORING".
The anthology includes a posthumous mix of One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash and the Avett Brothers, a different take from the version from Feb 1969 with Bob included on the Johnny Cash documentary The Man ● His World ● His Music (R-0069, see VHS & DVD 1960s). Bob's solo verses have been replaced by the Avett Brothers but he can still clearly be heard on the choruses.
R-0899 One Too Many Mornings - posthumous duet with Johnny Cash with the Avett Brothers One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash with the Avett Brothers, recorded during the Nashville Skyline sessions at Columbia Studios, Nashville, TN, Take 2, 18 Feb 1969. This is not the version from Feb 1969 with Bob included on the Johnny Cash documentary The Man ● His World ● His Music (R-0069, see VHS & DVD 1960s), which was Take 2 from 17 Feb 1969.
The take of R-0899 without the overdub was released in Dec 2019 on the very limited Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 2CD release 50th Anniversary Collection 1969, so has been allocated new R-number R-2154 (see 2019).
The audio of R-0069 (but not the video) has also been released in Dec 2019 on the Columbia/Legacy/Sony Music Europe 2CD release 50th Anniversary Collection 1969 (again see 2019).
Thanks to Harold Lepidus for news that the Amnesty International benefit album tribute Chimes of Freedom: Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International is also to be released as a 2CD set from Starbucks. This set will include One Too Many Mornings by Johnny Cash and the Avett Brothers with Bob on background vocals, but not Bob's own version of Chimes Of Freedom.
Thanks to Harold Lepidus and Dr. Hanns Peter Bushoff for information and to Manuel García Jara for scans.

The inside of the digipaks of the European and Australian releases are identical to those of the US release above. Thanks to Wiebke Dittmer for finding a Universal European 2CD promo on eBay (which I bought). I assume this is the same as the Starbucks 2CD set above. The European set was made in the EU. The Australian set was made in Australia and is marked by Universal Music Australia.
Thanks to Manuel García Jara and Stuart Moore for further information and scans.

Various Artists - "Mr. Tambourine Man: 21 Versions" - compilation CD, Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany), 24 Feb 2012:
Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany) - picture from zweitausendeins.de Thanks to Dirk Krah for news about a German Classic Hits CD release in their "One Song Edition" series with multiple versions of Mr. Tambourine Man - like the 2010 German Classic Hits releases with 20 versions of Blowin' In The Wind and House Of The Rising Sun, this release has 21 versions of Mr. Tambourine Man including Bob live with The Byrds (wrongly listed as from Montreal, but actually from Los Angeles, 1990) and Bob's solo piano demo of the song (again, wrongly listed as 1961 but actually 1963), from 2010's The Bootleg Series Vol. 9 - The Witmark Demos 1962-1964.
R-0217-4 Mr. Tambourine Man - with the Byrds, recorded at the Roy Orbison Tribute Concert, Universal Amphitheatre, Los Angeles, CA, 24 Feb 1990, from the Columbia/Legacy 4CD boxed set The Byrds, see 1990

Various Artists - "I Feel Good: 70s Hits" - compilation download-only, Classic Hits RADI-1181 (Germany), 13 Mar 2012:
Picture from www.amazon.com R-0758-4 California - early version of Outlaw Blues from Bringing It All Back Home with different lyrics (which appear in "Writings and Drawings" under this title, lyrics on bobdylan.com here), recorded at Columbia Studios, New York, 13 Jan 1965
California is no longer a rarity since it was released in Nov 2015 on The Best of The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12.
CBS CBSR029 (USA, 2009) - front of sealed copy with sticker (my copy)
This out-take from the 1960s, not the 1970s, was originally released on Grandes De La Música: Mitos* Del Rock [Great Figures Of Music: Legends of Rock], a compilation CD given away in 1995 with an issue of "Diário de Noticias [News Diary]", a Spanish newspaper. For more details see Questionable Releases. It was legally released on the CBS TV soundtrack album NCIS: The Official TV Soundtrack Vol. 2 in Nov 2009. For the DVD release, see VHS & DVD 2000s Part 4.
*The distinction between "myth" and "legend" made in English isn't made in other European languages – they're both types of traditional stories, but basically a "myth" is a story that was never actually true, whereas a "legend" is a story that is based on true events or people. This means an "urban legend" should actually be called an "urban myth", while Bob's certainly a legend and definitely not a myth!

Bob's contribution to this 83 track 4CD boxed set marketed and distributed in the UK by Ace Records is:
R-0817-2 North Country Blues - live, Newport Folk Festival, Newport, RI, 27 Jul 1963 (morning workshop), previously released on the 2007 Columbia DVD The Other Side Of The Mirror: Bob Dylan Live At The Newport Folk Festival 1963-1965, see VHS & DVD 20007-09.
This has not previously appeared on a Vanguard release. Repeating the mistake in the notes by John Crosby, Robin Denselow's review of this compilation in "The Guardian" UK newspaper says this is a "previously unreleased performance of North Country Blues, recorded at Newport in 1963". Bob only performed this song once at Newport, and this is that 1963 performance. Denselow should've asked me first! :-)
The set is housed in a four panel digipak inside a card box also containing a booklet.

Various Artists - "Savages: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack" - film soundtrack CD, Varèse Sarabande Records 302 067 154 2 (USA), 3 Jul 2012:
Thanks to Harold Lepidus for information about this Oliver Stone film from the novel by Don Winslow starring John Travolta, Taylor Kitsch, Salma Hayek and Blake Lively. The film is a thriller about drug dealers in the USA and Mexico, so the Dylan song is highly appropriate!
Varèse Sarabande Records 302 067 154 2 (USA) - picture from examiner.com R-0519-2 Romance In Durango (Bob Dylan/Jacques Levy) - slightly shorter version, fades out before the point at which the segue into Black Diamond Bay occurs on the Desire album (album version is 5:50)
Thanks to Tim Dunn for confirming that this version is timed at 5:45 in the insert notes and at 5:43 on his CD player. This is therefore the edited version (R-0519), truncating the fade-out, which appeared on a 1976 Japanese 7" single as the B-side of One More Cup of Coffee, there timed at 5:44, see 1976.

For the Savages film itself, see VHS & DVD (Films with Dylan Album Tracks) 2010s (because versions of Dylan tracks that appear in films are almost always faded or talked-over, the film appearance cannot be classified as R-0519).
Romance In Durango has also appeared as a 5:50 stand-alone version on a CBS Spain stereo 7" single, see International 7" Singles & EPs 1977.
"Duquesne Whistle"/"Meet Me In The Morning (Alternate Take)" - limited edition "Record Store Day" 7" stereo single, Columbia 38-540533 (8765-40533-7) (USA), 23 Nov 2012:

This track is not only previously unreleased but was also uncirculating amongst Dylan collectors! R-0935 is still a rarity despite this alternate take being released on the single CD version of The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 - More Blood, More Tracks, 2018, because the version on that CD has been edited by around 40 seconds! The full alternate take is included on CD4 of the limited release Deluxe Edition of The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 - More Blood, More Tracks (track 18).

Thanks to Keith Venturoni for news that this alternate take (R-0935) was used in an AT&T US TV commercial in Feb 2014 during the Winter Olympic coverage. This track was at the time reported to be taken from a yet to be released volume of The Bootleg Series covering the Blood On The Tracks sessions, but it didn't appear! It was eventually released six years later as The Bootleg Series Vol. 14 - More Blood, More Tracks, Nov 2018.
Thanks to Harold Lepidus, Paul S. Levine, Keith Venturoni and Harald Sigvartsen for information and scans.

Black is the new black. Check out the final release from Kaws titled "Companion: Resting Place". Strictly limited edition on a lottery base only. It marks the end of an era as OriginalFake, the trendsetting lifestyle brand started by MEDICOM TOY and Brooklyn-based artist KAWS, puts out what is its very last vinyl figure. Thus, it is quite fitting for the caricature to be Companion, one of KAWS' most popular, and the pose to be Resting Place, signifying the end, in a way. Black Version. Truly a mark of beauty. Grab it if you can be lucky enough. Do it..

Q: Post request to airtable in Java I am trying to replicate this Curl command in Java
curl -X POST \
  https://api.airtable.com/v0/YOUR_BASE_ID/YOUR_TABLE_NAME \

  -d '{

but i keep getting the following error:
{"type":"INVALID_REQUEST_BODY","message":"Could not parse request body"}

This is my code:
 String jsonRequest = "{" +
        "fields" + ":" + "{" +
          "Shopping" + ":" + "record_id" +
          "Update" + ":" + "Apple" +
        "},"+

          "typecast" + ":" + "true" +
    "}";

  public void createNewRecord() throws UnirestException{
        HttpResponse<JsonNode> response = Unirest.post("https://api.airtable.com/v0/"+environments.MAIN_BASE_API_KEY+"/"+ environments.TABLE_NAME)
      .header("Content-Type", "application/json")
      .header("Authorization", "Bearer " + environments.AIRTABLE_API_KEY)
      .body(jsonRequest)
      .asJson();
      System.out.println(response.getBody().toString());
    }

I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be most appreciated.

A: Your jsonRequest does not look like valid JSON. I'm assuming that's also what the airtable API is trying to tell you with Could not parse request body. If you output or inspect (with a debugger) the contents of the jsonRequest variable (formatted):
{
    fields: {
        Shopping:record_id
        Update:Apple
    },
    typecast: true
}

You're at least missing a comma between fields.shopping and fields.update. The property names should also be in quotation marks. It should look something like this:
{
    "fields": {
        "Shopping": "record_id",
        "Update": "Apple"
    },
    "typecast": true
}

You could use something like JSONLint to help you validating your JSON.  But what will help more is not manually writing your JSON by concatenating strings but rather using Java objects which serialize  to JSON.

Weekly review: Aussie dollar feeling the coronavirus pain
John Beveridge
WEEKLY MARKET REPORT
The Australian dollar has emerged as something of a whipping boy in world markets, plunging to 11-year lows last seen at the height of the global financial crisis.
Investors are now growing confident that the worsening unemployment numbers reported this week and a weakening Australian economy will push the Reserve Bank to cut interest rates yet again, which forced the Australian dollar below US66c on Friday.
The Australian Bureau of Statistics showed a rise in the jobless rate from 5.1% to 5.3%, which could push the Reserve Bank into action given that it has long said that a consistent increase in the unemployment rate was the most likely trigger for another interest rate cut.
Last year the RBA cut rates three times to a record low of 0.75% and despite better than anticipated job creation, the expectation of the coronavirus causing a weakening in the next jobs numbers to be released in March helped drag the dollar to as low as US65.94c in Friday trade.
Currency analysts see even more potential Aussie dollar weakness to come as well with the US dollar gaining plenty of momentum and nothing much on the horizon to lift the local currency.
Share market follows suit
It may not have been as dramatic as the 1% slump in the dollar to below US66c but the Australian share market also caught on to the lack of confidence.
Following on from weak sentiment on global markets due to the increasing spread of the coronavirus, Australian stocks took a slight turn for the worse with the China exposed companies bearing the brunt of falls.
The benchmark ASX 200 index fell 23.5 points or 0.33% to 7139 points.
Weakness followed a record
That wasn't such a bad result given that the market had hit a second successive record close on Thursday, with losses occurring across a range of sectors including consumer discretionary, energy, IT and health stocks.
Predictably, the big mining companies were down with BHP (ASX: BHP) weakening $0.30 or 0.78% to $38.22 while Rio Tinto (ASX: RIO) was also down $0.45 or 0.46% to $97.69.
There was one bright spot on the market, with financial shares again rising with Commonwealth Bank (ASX: CBA) once again forging a path for others to follow with a 1.08% or $0.95 rise to $88.80.
That helped the overall market to remain up for the week, despite the softer end to the period.
Other stocks that followed Commonwealth's lead included ANZ Bank (ASX: ANZ) which was up 0.8%, Insurance Australia Group (ASX: IAG) which lifted by 1.8% and Queensland based financial services firm Suncorp Group (ASX: SUN), which was up 1.1%.
Theme parks show their wares
After a hectic week of profit reports for the February reporting season, it was the turn of the theme park operators to show their wares.
Ardent Leisure (ASX: ALG), which owns Dreamworld, lifted 4% despite a first half loss that rose to $22.5 million with investors concentrating instead on a revenue lift of 16% to $263.2 million.
Village Roadshow (ASX: VRL) which owns Movie World and Sea World, fell 2% after it reported a larger than expected net loss of $25.8 million with revenue falling 7%.
Profit results not too bad
Both companies are expecting their second half earnings to be slowed by the coronavirus outbreak.
Overall, most analysts seem fairly happy with the reporting season, particularly a number of stocks that are increasing dividends and share buybacks.
Considering the headwinds created by the bushfires, floods and the coronavirus, most results held up as well or better than expected – particularly after the Blackmores profit warning that began the season.
Corporate profit growth predictions for the year have remained steady at around 3%, leaving the future path of the coronavirus as the big variable that could impact on those predictions.
In the coming week, there are some other high-profile names reporting including Seek, Blackmores, Woolworths, Afterpay and FlightCentre.
Galaxy loses millions
Investors reacted positively to a plan by lithium miner Galaxy Resources (ASX: GXY) to dramatically scale back production to cope with low prices.
Galaxy shares rose $0.055 or 5.31% to $1.09 despite revealing a $430 million loss for the full year and a 55% decline in revenue to US$69.5 million.
Much weaker spodumene prices and a 17% decrease in sales volumes helped to produce the net loss after tax of US$283.7 million, which was largely the result of non-cash write downs and impairments of US$245.9 million.
The average selling price for spodumene was US$502/dmt, down from US$927/dmt a year earlier.
Galaxy has earlier announced that it paused mining at its Mt Cattlin mine and will scale back mining operations by 60% throughout 2020.
The company decided to wind back production levels to conserve mineral resources until market conditions improve.
Small cap stock action
The Small Ords index rose 0.31% for the week to close on 3068.7 points.
ASX 200 vs Small Ords
Small cap companies making headlines this week were:
Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals (ASX: PAR)
Paradigm Biopharmaceuticals has now dosed the first patient in the US under its FDA-approved expanded access program for its Zilosul drug also known as injectable Pentosan Polysulfate Sodium.
The program involves primarily ex-NFL players suffering from knee osteoarthritis and bone marrow edema lesions, with each patient to receive two injections weekly over six weeks.
All up, 10 patients will be treated, with last patient final dosing anticipated in the September quarter.
"This is an important milestone for Paradigm as we continue to progress toward the commencement of the phase 3 pivotal study and commercialisation of Zilosul as a potential first line treatment for knee osteoarthritis," Paradigm chief executive officer Paul Rennie said.
Meanwhile, Paradigm has reported a positive and informative pre-investigational new drug meeting with the FDA, which involved discussing development and market authorisation plans for Zilosul.
Vital Metals (ASX: VML)
Rare earth explorer Vital Metals impressed investors this week after revealing it had unearthed some of the highest rare earth grades globally at its Nechalacho project in Canada.
The high-grade rare earth oxides were intersected at the project's North T deposit and returned 2.4m at 38.4% total rare earth oxides (TREO) from 13m, including 8.1% neodymium and praseodymium (NdPr); 5.1m at 22.9% TREO from 12m, including 5.2% NdPr; and 5.4m at 19% TREO from 2m, including 4.3% NdPr.
"The exceptional REO grades, with up to 8.1% NdPr, are being reported almost at surface, an ideal outcome for our plan to produce a high-grade REO concentrate from Nechalacho," Vital managing director Geoff Atkins said.
These latest drill results will be incorporated into an updated resource, which is due to be published before the end of March.
Nechalacho has a current light REO resource of 94.7Mt at 1.46% TREO.
Freehill Mining (ASX: FHS)
Freehill Mining has uncovered more high-grade magnetite within extremely thick intersections at its flagship Yerbas Buenas project in Chile.
The latest assays from drilling late last year have returned 86m at 24.1% iron from 128m, including 18m at 31.1% iron and 20m at 31.6% iron; and 129.5m at 31.9% iron from 22.5m, including 22m at 47.8% iron and 15.9m at 41.6% iron.
Freehill chief executive officer Peter Hinner pointed out the magnetite mineralisation encountered during drilling was easily upgradable to a high-grade concentrate that can be readily sold into the local market.
Mr Hinner also noted the company had received increasing interest from third parties regarding Yerbas Buenas.
National Stock Exchange of Australia (ASX: NSX), iSignthis (ASX: ISX)
National Stock Exchange of Australia and iSignthis inked an agreement to form joint venture entity ClearPay, which will be charged with developing and implementing a same-day share clearance platform based on blockchain technology.
Initially, the National Stock Exchange will own 41% of ClearPay by investing $3.2 million in the subsidiary.
iSignthis will hold the other 59% and contribute its intellectual property, in addition to its subsidiary Probanx Solutions being responsible for designing and implementing the platform.
The National Stock Exchange can then lock-in a 50% interest in ClearPay by contributing a further $1.3 million.
ClearPay will enable the National Stock Exchange to offer same-day settlement capability, which will supersede the current process offered by other exchanges.
iSignthis has also made a strategic investment in the exchange – scooping up a 12.96% stake by investing $4.2 million at $0.145 per share.
The Food Revolution Group (ASX: FOD)
The Food Revolution Group is taking advantage of the hand sanitiser shortage caused by the coronavirus outbreak.
On Thursday, the company revealed its distribution partner Careline Australia had received a $2 million order for its planned Sanicare-branded hand sanitiser.
Careline will distribute Food Revolution's hand sanitisers through its daigou network and by fulfilling orders from supermarkets and other distribution customers.
A few days earlier on Tuesday, Food Revolution announced Careline had received "unprecedented demand" for hand sanitiser in Australia and China.
Food Revolution noted it had decided to take advantage of this demand by utilising its recently upgraded Mill Park plant in Melbourne, which has a recently installed bottling line.
Commissioning of the bottling line is underway, with Food Revolution planning to begin hand sanitiser production before the end of the month.
It's expected the $2 million order will be filled in the next four weeks.
Chant West Holdings (ASX: CWL)
Chant West Holdings has agreed to sell its namesake superannuation research and consultancy business to Zenith Investment Partners for $12 million.
The Chant West superannuation division is one of the company's two core businesses.
According to Chant West Holdings' chief executive officer Brendan Burwood, it had fielded a number of enquiries for the superannuation business for some time.
Once the business has been sold, Chant West Holdings will retain its financial planning and technology business Enzumo, while returning a cash surplus of around $0.10 per security to shareholders.
Lake Resources (ASX: LKE)
A Bill Gates-led $1 billion fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, has made news by heading up a US$20 million investment round in Lake Resources' lithium processing technology partner Lilac Solutions.
In addition to Mr Gates, several other investors in the fund comprise several of the world's business leaders including Amazon founder Jeff Bezos, co-founder of Alibaba Jack Ma, and Bloomberg founder Michael Bloomberg.
Lake is planning to use Lilac's lithium brine processing technology to extract lithium from brine at its Kachi project in Argentina.
Lilac's technology offers a "sustainable solution" to produce lithium carbonate for batteries from brine operations.
The process extracts lithium directly from the brine and returns the brine back to its aquifer.
This method eliminates the need for traditional evaporation ponds and is "significantly faster, cheaper and more scalable".
ASX floats this week
Small Caps readers who want to view upcoming IPOs or see the performance of stocks that have listed in 2020 can now do so.
The latest company to make its way onto the ASX this week was:
Little Green Pharma (ASX: LGP)
Medicinal cannabis company Little Green Pharma was the latest stock to debut on the ASX this week after raising $10 million via the issue of 22.2 million shares at $0.45 each.
Little Green Pharma was the first Australian company to sell locally-grown GMP-manufactured medical cannabis products – distributing its first products in mid-2018.
The company has a WA-based indoor cultivation facility with capacity to produce up to 15,000 bottles and plans to expand this 110,000 this year.
Little Green Pharma's IPO strategy was to build its profile, while boosting its financial flexibility and executing its growth strategy, which includes completing the expansion of the cultivation facility.
The company also plans to build its own manufacturing plant as well as building its product range to include various medicinal cannabis forms and delivery systems.
Other plans include expanding sales into the UK, Canada, New Zealand and Germany and ongoing clinical development.
Little Week Pharma celebrated its first week on a high, with its share price lifting to close Friday at $0.46.
Other than the company results there is not much to look forward to on the statistics side of things, leaving the continued direction of the dollar and the progress of the coronavirus as the major influencing factors.
The release highlight is probably the business investment data that is released on Thursday with other things to watch for including the construction work data on Wednesday and the Reserve Bank's private sector credit figures on Friday.
There is a plethora of releases in the US, however, including home prices, economic growth and durable goods orders.
There should be some impact of the coronavirus on economic activity in China's factory and services activity gauges for February.

A Jazz Thanksgiving in New York City
Maria Schneider, photographed by Jimmy & Dena Katz
It's Thanksgiving time, and New York jazz fans know what that means. No, not the Macy's parade down Broadway or the lighting of the Christmas tree in Rockefeller Center. The really big shows for our crowd—annual traditions for a while now—are the Maria Schneider Jazz Orchestra at the Jazz Standard and Jason Moran's Bandwagon Trio at the Village Vanguard.
Kenny Barron & Dave Holland: The Art of Conversation
Pianist Kenny Barron and bassist Dave Holland have massive chops, and a lot to say, so their new duet album, The Art of Conversation (on the revived Impulse! label) is everything the title suggests.
Ethan Iverson & Ron Carter at Mezzrow's
Friday night, I saw one of the finest, most intimate jazz sets I'd seen in a while: Ethan Iverson and Ron Carter playing duets at Mezzrow, a small new jazz club in Manhattan's West Village...
The New Standard (and Joe Ferla's last thing)
Joe Ferla is the preeminent jazz recording engineer of our time—or, I should say, was, as he recently decided to retire from the profession, after more than 42 years and nearly 400 albums, to run his attention to playing guitar. (I haven't heard him do that, but I hope he's good.) His last-released album, The New Standard, is out on CD and double-LP on the Rare Noise Records label, and it stands not only as another specimen of superlative sonics but also Ferla's return to analog.
Kenny Burrell: Midnight Blue from Music Matters Jazz
Fred Kaplan | Jul 20, 2014 | 2 comments
Music Matters Jazz is going 33. As all high-end vinylphiles know, MMJ is the LA-based company that's been reissuing classic Blue Note albums cut at 45 rpm, spread out over two slabs of 180 gram virgin vinyl, encased in a gatefold cover that meticulously reproduces the original's artwork on the outside and gorgeously reprints session photos of the musicians on the inside.
But now, after doing this with 112 titles, the company's proprietors, Ron Rambach and Joe Harley, are re-reissuing some of the greatest Blue Note titles on single-disc LPs cut at 331/3rpm . . .
R.I.P. Charlie Haden
Photo: 2010 by Steven Perilloux
Charlie Haden, one of the great jazz bassists, died this morning, at age 76, after a long illness.
Fred Hersch, Floating
Fred Hersch's Floating (on the Palmetto label) is his strongest album in a decade (you'd have to go back to his 2006 solo disc, In Amsterdam: Live at the Bimhuis, to match the energy) and maybe his strongest trio album ever.
Keith Jarrett & Charlie Haden: Last Dance
Fred Kaplan | Jun 19, 2014 | 8 comments
Almost exactly four years ago, I posted a Blog that began like this: "Let's put the main point up front. The new duet album by Keith Jarrett and Charlie Haden, Jasmine (on ECM), is a gorgeous piece of work: all standards, mainly ballads, nothing fancy (not overtly anyway), but such poignancy and quiet passion; it's a glimpse into the intimacy of the act of making art." A follow-up CD is out now, Last Dance...
Stacey Kent—Who Knew?
I guess I'm going to have to start listening to Stacey Kent. At her early set at Birdland in midtown Manhattan Wednesday night, I sat down a skeptic and came away charmed.
Paul Bley, Play Blue
Fred Kaplan | May 31, 2014 | 0 comments
Paul Bley's Play Blue: Oslo Concert (on the ECM label) is a bracing solo piano album. Think Keith Jarrett, with less Rachmaninoff and more Monk, but the distinctions sway on the margins. Bley too is a romantic improviser, immersed in jazz idiom but classically trained (and he lets it show, though less showily than Jarrett).
Sonny Rollins' Magnificent Road Shows, Vol.3
Road Shows, Volume 3 (on Okeh Records) might be Sonny Rollins' greatest album ever. Certainly it's the album that most closely supplies the sensation of a live Sonny Rollins concert—or the best moments of several live Sonny Rollins concerts, which is what the whole Road Shows series is meant to be.
The 2014 Jazz Awards (and mine)
Fred Kaplan | Apr 16, 2014 | 5 comments
The Jazz Journalists' Association announced its 2014 awards this week. I don't think I've disagreed with so many of its picks. In most cases, I'd simply rank others higher than the JJA balloteers; in some cases, though, I part from their judgment pretty vigorously. Here are some of the JJA winners, followed by my choices...
Decca Sound: The Analogue Years
OK, this isn't jazz, but it's such a crazy bargain, I couldn't resist shouting it from my rooftop: Decca Sound, The Analogue Years 54 albums (and bits of several more) from the Decca label's heyday of classical recording (the mid-'50s to late-'70s), pressed in a boxed set of 50 CDs, selling for $129.
In case you're too stunned to do the math, that's $2.58 per disc!
Ambrose Akinmusire, The Imagined Savior…
Three years ago, Ambrose Akinmusire, 28, burst upon the scene as the most promising young jazz trumpeter since Dave Douglas. His debut album, When the Heart Emerges Glistening (on the Blue Note label), was hailed (and not just by me) as one of the best of 2011. His new CD, The Imagined Savior Is Far Easier to Paint (also out on Blue Note), is better.
The Bad Plus: The Rite of Spring
Fred Kaplan | Mar 28, 2014 | 1 comments
It should be no surprise that The Bad Plus, the bad-boy trio of polymorphous po-mo jazz, should take a stab at Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring. The stunner is that they've pulled it off so masterfully. This disc (on the Sony Masterworks label) is no "jazzing up the classics" gimmick; it's the real thing, as legitimate a rendering—and, on its own terms, as walloping—as any out there.

Family justice counsellors provide a variety of free services, including mediation, for families experiencing separation and divorce. Family justice counsellors are employed by the Attorney General and work in Justice Access Centres and Family Justice Centres throughout the province. Family justice counsellors and other staff in the centres offer a range of services, including:
information and education,
mediation and shuttle mediation,
help with the court process, and
development of parenting agreements and consent orders.
Family justice counsellors aren't lawyers and they don't act for you. They can't help you get a divorce or with mediation for property or asset/debt division. They work with both spouses or parents to try to resolve the matter at hand.
In some communities, the Provincial Court is "designated" under Provincial Court (Family) Rule 5 to promote settling issues outside the courtroom. Couples who separate in these communities must meet with a family justice counsellor before registry staff will set a first appearance date for their cases.
To contact a family justice counsellor, call Service BC at:
604-660-2421 (Greater Vancouver),
250-387-6121 (Victoria), or

La Font Vella és una obra del municipi de Fulleda (Garrigues) inclosa en l'Inventari del Patrimoni Arquitectònic de Catalunya.

Descripció
Font allotjada sota d'una arcada de mig punt que en un altre temps també funcionà com a safareigs del poble. L'arc té un metre de llum aproximadament i està fet amb carreus de diverses mides, units amb morter. El mur que de tancament, per contra, està fet de carreus ben escairats però igualment de diverses proporcions i de grans lloses. A la més gran d'aquestes hi veiem una inscripció amb una data mig esborrada (177_)

A la part alta del mur hi ha un nínxol amb la figura de la moreneta. La font pròpiament dita, està una mica desplaçada cap a la dreta, remarcant el seu espai quadrat unes grans pedres. En algun dels graons encara s'hi poden veure rebaixats circulars que s'usaven per sostenir el càntir.

Even if you're an old dude like me (or an old dudette) and even if you're not that old but all your kids have escaped the nest, you really should catch some of the shows on Nickelodeon or one of the other channels that feature kids . . . it helps you reconnect with that kid inside of you (and he or she IS there) and besides, kids having fun are always a joy to watch.
The title of this post "The Naked Brother's Band" is a new series on Nickelodeon and also the title of a slightly older movie put together by Polly Draper. Polly Draper is actually the stepmother of Nat and Alex Wolff the "original" Naked Brothers. Nat was 7 years old and Alex was 4 when the movie was made; guaranteed, they will just steal your heart and if they don't make you smile you might not have a heart to loose.
The movie (which they call a "mockumentary" because it's totally . . . and cleverly . . . scripted) was on this evening (2/2/07) and the series starts on Saturday (2/3/07) at 8:30 EST. It's silly and it's fun and a heck of a lot better than just another episode of CSI (name the city).
One great line from the movie: Nat at one point says: "Jesus, I can't believe that" which causes Alex to jump up and grab his shirt and say: "Don't you ever say anything about Jesus, he was one of the best presidents we ever had!" That's just a sample of some of the chuckles you'll get out of the movie (and I'm sure the series).
By the way, all the songs in the movie, except for one, were written (music and lyrics) by 7-y/o Nat and you can see and hear for yourself that he may have a real future in the music business or at least in show business (if he doesn't get 'burned out' like so many other child stars). That one song, by the way, that wasn't written by Nat was written by Alex.
If you can, tune in tomorrow night for the premier of the series (the kids are 9-y/o and 6-y/o now) and let your inner-kid out to play. You'll walk away feeling good!
One caution, if you do have little ones and they are clammering to watch the movie, read the review by Common Sense media first (Linked Below) — they think it has some bad messages for impressionable-aged kids and I guess I can't disagree.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, nobody in the movie is naked!!
hi im kaylee. so how are you guys?im fine.
i go crazy over you guys.m and my friend laura are your biggest fans.
we have all your posters.
so when are you guys going to make a new video?
and i like u mat.
I appreciate your comment on my blog — I am also a BIG fan of the brothers and watch them whenever I can (and I'm an adult) but I'm sorry to say I don't know them personally and couldn't help you get in their band.
It certainly wouldn't be easy to get in the Naked Brothers Band but it would be easier (but still not Real easy) to start your own garage band. You'll either need to learn to write your own music as Nat and Alex do or you can take a tip from the "Jives" and learn some older popular music you really love to listen to. Work hard and perform at every talent contest or wedding or bar mitzvah or birthday party you can get to and get someone who knows video to help you make a demo tape and put it on YouTube, Veoh, DailyMotion and all the other video places. You might get "discovered" that way, but even if you don't you will have done something that many people don't do: you will have tried to make your dream a reality.
I wish you the best of luck and, when you get famous (or any other time), send me an e-mail.
I have read so many articles concerning the blogger lovers except this article is genuinely a pleasant post, keep it up.
Thank you very much Nina; your right I really need to work on that.

Гіпотеза Берча — Свіннертона-Дайера описує множину раціональних розв'язків рівнянь, які визначають еліптичною кривою.
Це є відкритою проблемою у теорії чисел і широко визнана як одна з найскладніших математичних проблем. Гіпотеза була вибрана в якості однієї з семи проблем тисячоліття, включених Математичним інститутом Клея до списку задач за які запропонована премію в розмірі 1 000 000 доларів за перше правильне доведення. Гіпотеза названа на честь математиків  та , які сформулювали гіпотезу в першій половині 1960-х років за допомогою машинних обчислень. Станом на 2016 рік доведено лише окремі випадки гіпотези.

У пошуках відповіді на питання — за яких умов діофантови рівняння у вигляді алгебраїчних рівнянь мають рішення в цілих і раціональних числах, Брайан Берч і Пітер Свіннертона-Дайер на початку 1960-х років припустили, що ранг  еліптичної кривої  над  рішень дорівнює порядку нуля дзета-функції Хассе — Вейля  в точці . Більш детально, гіпотеза стверджує, що існує ненульовий межа, де значення  залежить від тонких арифметичних інваріантів кривих.

Найважливішим частковим результатом станом на 2011 рік залишається доведене в 1977 році Джоном Коутс і Ендрю Уайлсом твердження, справедливе для великого класу еліптичних кривих про те, що якщо крива  містить нескінченно багато раціональних точок, то .

Гіпотеза є єдиним відносно простим загальним способом обчислення рангу еліптичних кривих.

One of the most versatile instruments in the woodwind family, the saxophone has sparked the imagination of composers of every stripe since its invention by Adolph Sax in 1841. Some draw upon the pure, lyrical quality of the saxophone's tone while others make use of its abstract, sometimes dissonant sound capabilities to explore new aesthetic terrain. In this release, composers are inspired by a variety of sonic sources: the human voice in Kati Agocs's Coloratura, the underlying hum of a dense city in Kristin Kuster's Breath Beneath, and the flavor of Middle Eastern music in Roshanne Etezady's Keen. Ross Feller, Zack Browning, and Rand Steiger look to more abstract and personal sources in the creation of their works. Together, the music on this release offers a snapshot of the many moods and sound worlds that the saxophone, alone and in combination, can produce. New Dynamic Records is privileged to share this disc of our featured ensemble, the renowned PRISM Quartet, with listeners around the world. Through their artistry and virtuosity, the members of PRISM — Timothy McAllister (soprano saxophone), Zachary Shemon (alto saxophone), Matthew Levy (tenor saxophone), and Taimur Sullivan (baritone saxophone) — bring these incredibly challenging works to life.

MCSO: Dysart High School Student Brought Gun to School, Threatened to Shoot Classmate
Matthew Hendley
| Guns |
Matthew Hendley | February 6, 2013 | 2:09pm
The Maricopa County Sheriff's Office says deputies arrested a 16-year-old Dysart High School student who brought a gun to school yesterday.
According to MCSO, that kid apparently showed the gun to a 14-year-old classmate that morning at the school-bus stop, and said he was going to kill him.
-Joe Arpaio's Posse Doing a School-Shooting Simulation, and Steven Seagal's Supervising
School officials had contacted the Sheriff's Office yesterday to request a welfare check on the 14-year-old boy, who lives in Youngtown, as he didn't show up to school, and school authorities believed he may have been suicidal.
It turns out, the 14-year-old boy's mom said the 16-year-old had shown her son the gun, and threatened him with it, according to information provided by the Sheriff's Office.
Deputies waited at the bus stop for the 16-year-old boy yesterday afternoon, and they found him in possession of a .25-caliber handgun, which the Sheriff's Office says was loaded.
MCSO Sergeant Brandon Jones tells New Times the kid wouldn't say how he got the gun, other than that he got it from a friend.
The 16-year-old kid -- whose name hasn't been released -- admitted to taking the gun to school, and on the bus. He was jailed on four felony charges.
As usual, Sheriff Joe Arpaio's using this as press-release material.
"This is the third recent incident where my deputies have investigated school violence," Arpaio's canned statement says. "It is exactly why I am providing active shooter training for members of my school posse patrol program this weekend, and why I sent out the armed posse in the first place."
In case you missed it, Steven Seagal will be helping the posse with the active-shooter training this weekend.


Shanghai, Nov 23 (ČTK special correspondent) — Czech Prime Minister Bohuslav Sobotka visited today a development center of Huawei Technologies and the Shanghai plant of Czech carmaker Škoda Auto.
Representatives of Huawei Technologies and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at Czech Technical University in Prague and of the Technical University of Ostrava signed a memorandum on cooperation, saying that this act represents a new stage in mutual cooperation.
Huawei has decided to contribute $250,000 to either of the universities for ambitious development projects. The company has been cooperating with Prague's university for more than 10 years and with the Ostrava University for over a year.
Sobotka appreciated cooperation with Huawei, one of the three largest firms in the field of mobile communications and tablets in the world, and said he hopes that bilateral ties focused on new technologies, research and development will expand in the future.
At Škoda Auto's plant, Sobotka met leading officials of the company and had the possibility to see the production of the Yeti model, which seems to be popular in China. A big advertising campaign has been launched in the country to boost Yeti's sales. A number of Skoda models have been made in China.
Skoda sells nearly 300,000 cars there a year and its share in the market for new passenger cars is 1.5 percentage points, Sobotka told journalists.
According to Jakub Šulc of Škoda Auto, the company is betting on its new flagship Superb in China at present, though Octavia remains the top-selling model.
Škoda entered the Chinese market with Octavia in 2007. Since then it has sold over 1.5 million Octavias there.
Sobotka said he held talks with China Eastern whose representatives confirmed the plan to establish a direct air route from Prague to Shanghai next year.
"We tried to find out if a direct air connection has been opened between Shanghai and any of the 16 countries in Central and Eastern Europe in the '16+1' regional cooperation format but it shows that (ours) will be the first direct air route between Shanghai and a Central and Eastern European country," Sobotka said.
The '16+1' format was intended to facilitate the shaping of relations between China and the EU.
Sobotka said the Chinese partners would be glad if the route was launched during a visit by the Chinese president to the Czech Republic. The visit is scheduled for the first half of 2016.
CEFC Investment (Europe) Company is the largest company in Shanghai that made big investments in the Czech Republic in recent months. It said today it will take over Le Palais Art Hotel Prague, a five-star hotel in Prague's center. A framework sales contract was signed in Shanghai today.
CEFC said in a press release that the acquisition of the hotel is part of its strategy in the area of tourism. CEFC has already bought into the Czech airline Travel Service.

The United Kingdom's (UK) large and sophisticated healthcare system has a constant need for products and is very receptive to new and innovative technologies. It is divided between the public healthcare system; financed through taxation and providing most services free at the point of delivery, and the private segment. According to the Office of National Statistics (ONS), total healthcare expenditure in 2017 was $249 billion (9.6% of GDP), an approximate increase of 3.3% on the previous year. Government expenditure on health accounted for around 79% of total spending.
The largest purchaser of medical products is the public healthcare segment, the National Health Service (NHS). It receives funding from the central government but is run as four separate systems: NHS England, NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and HSC Northern Ireland. The much smaller private healthcare segment is funded through private medical insurance, self-pay, or overseas patients. Approximately 11% of the population has health insurance; however, many policies stipulate upper spending limits or only cover specific medical conditions. The nature of the market means that private sector growth is closely linked to public sector performance, policy, and funding for core services.
Financial pressures will most likely continue to influence purchasing decisions by healthcare providers. The healthcare sector is also bracing itself for potential impact of the UK's departure from the European Union (EU) on October 31st, 2019. Health policy and initiatives may also be affected by the potential changes across the broader political structure over the coming year.
NHS England, which serves 84% of the population, is comprised of around 191 general practitioner-led clinical commissioning groups (CCGs) that plan and commission NHS services, such as hospital care or community health services, 152 acute hospital trusts, 10 ambulance trusts, and 54 mental health trusts. Most medical product procurement is carried out by acute trusts. They have the choice of purchasing through centralized organizations such as NHS Supply Chain (https://www.supplychain.nhs.uk/), which maintains a product catalog of approved medical products and services, buying individually, forming consortia with other trusts, or working through collaborative procurement hubs. Potential suppliers favoring a direct approach can contact trusts or relevant healthcare providers, register on supplier portals, or search for contracts on the Contracts Finder site (https://www.gov.uk/contracts-finder). Suppliers can also approach NHS Scotland, NHS Wales, and HSC Northern Ireland via their respective agencies or procurement agencies for opportunities.
As it can be challenging to sell directly to the NHS from overseas, many U.S. exporters find it easier to form partnerships with well-established local companies. This enables new entrants to take advantage of their partner's market expertise as well as their access to buyers and other decision makers. Potential suppliers also have the option of approaching private sector healthcare providers through their procurement teams. Opportunities exist in areas such as secondary care (e.g. private hospitals) and/or tertiary care, fields not typically available through the NHS (cosmetic surgery), or where public health services are limited (elder care, dental).
The growing population and demographic changes will continue to place stress on the system. It is estimated that around 26 million people have a long-term health condition. Government statistics state that 63% of adults are obese or overweight. Expect continued focus on public health and preventive care initiatives to address the rise in 'lifestyle related' conditions such as diabetes and heart disease, efforts to tackle health inequalities, and an ongoing push for increased mental health support services. The number of people aged over 65 is forecast to increase from 18% in 2018 to 23.9% in 2036 (Source: ONS). This trend will drive growth in age-related health conditions such as dementia and demand for adequate social care. One way the NHS is seeking to address this is through assistive and e-health technologies aimed at promoting patient self-monitoring and independence. The growing use of home technology is part of a shift in healthcare provision from hospitals to community services and a push for more cooperative patient care.
The UK is likely to see a continuation of public-private partnerships to help ease the strain on the NHS. For example, the NHS e-Referral Service includes the option for patients to book appointments or receive treatment at private hospitals that provide services to the NHS. Private hospitals such as HCA Healthcare also partner with NHS trusts to provide care within Private Patient Units (PPUs) in NHS hospitals. There have been efforts by the UK competition authority to increase competition within the private healthcare market. The acute private hospital segment alone is currently dominated by a handful of large groups, such as HCA Healthcare and Circle Health.
The best sales prospects are expected to be in the following areas: assistive technologies, electronic monitoring equipment, home care technology, cancer care technology, rehabilitation equipment, and diagnostics.
Although the private segment is smaller, opportunities exist for companies to supply private hospital, residential, and nursing facilities with equipment.

The UK medical technology sector is comprised of just over 2,500 mostly small to medium sized companies (SMEs). They are evenly spread across the country with small clusters of firms in the Midlands and Southeast of England. Radiotherapy equipment, neurology, and cardiovascular devices are high- performing segments. Others include single-use technology, in vitro diagnostic technology, and orthopedic devices. Approximately 98% of firms are classed as SMEs.
Many of the leading U.S. medical device suppliers, technology providers, and pharmaceutical companies have subsidiaries in the UK and well-established relationships with the NHS. They include companies such as Baxter Healthcare, Medtronic, Pfizer, GE Healthcare, BMS, Cerner and Hyland.
The UK is heavily reliant on its import market. The EU, led by countries such as Germany and the Netherlands, currently accounts for around two-thirds of imports. This percentage may decrease, creating opportunities for non-EU importers such as the U.S., once the UK leaves the EU.
The NHS spends approximately $25 billion a year on goods and services. Most domestically produced medical products are exported, hence the demand for imports. The U.S. is an important overseas source of medical devices with an estimated 16% share of the market. It is a leading supplier of diagnostic, dental, orthopedic equipment, and high-quality wound-care products to the UK.
The Department of Health is currently committing substantial resources to treating the following illnesses and diseases: Cancer, Alzheimer's, Mental Health, Parkinson's, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Obesity, and Diabetes.
Most medical devices and medicines require a CE mark or marketing license to be sold and marketed in the UK. It is not currently known how the UK's departure from the EU will impact the regulation of pharmaceuticals or medical products. Industry has indicated an interest in maintaining an alignment of UK and EU regulations. The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/medicines-and-healthcare-products-regulatory-agency), an agency of the Department of Health and Social Care, governs the regulation of medicines and devices. Most firms complying with EU regulatory requirements can apply to register with the MHRA Device Online Registration System (DORS) to sell their devices.
Prices for prescription medicines are based on agreements between industry and government. For example, one agreement for branded medicines, the Pharmaceutical Price Regulatory Scheme (PPRS), is a pre-approved scheme which regulates the profit drug companies receive on the sales of their drugs to the NHS. It requires participating firms to make reimbursement payments to the NHS based on sales.
Companies selling medical devices to the NHS are permitted to determine the price of their products; there are no specific product codes. However, as previously noted, NHS agencies are under intense pressure to cut costs and achieve savings, so it is likely pricing will be subject to negotiation. Under the NHS reimbursement system in England, known as the National Tariff Payment System, Clinical Commission Groups (CCGs) pay healthcare providers for procedures per patient consultation and/or treatment. Charges are calculated using pre-determined tariffs and codes for treatments and conditions. The other NHS agencies, e.g. NHS Scotland, have similar reimbursement systems in place.
Certain products, such as stoma or incontinence appliances, are available to patients on prescription. Qualifying devices are listed within a monthly Drug Tariff which outlines what pharmacies will be reimbursed for devices, drugs, and their services. Suppliers can apply to NHS Prescription Services (https://www.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/) to have their products added to the Drug Tariff. Products must adhere to relevant regulatory requirements, fall within the qualifying categories, and already be for sale in the UK to qualify.
U.S. companies should not encounter any political or trade barriers to market entry. The UK currently adheres to EU procurement rules and conducts most buying through commercial negotiation.
One potential barrier lies with Health Technology Assessment (HTA) agencies, such as the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) in England, that judge the clinical and cost-effectiveness of new and existing drugs, treatments, and medical devices. These agencies provide the NHS with guidance on treatment strategy and influences procurement decisions by stating which products are reimbursable on the NHS.

What is BREXIT?
The term BREXIT refers to the ceasing of the United Kingdom's membership and departure from the European Union on October 31, 2019.
How will it impact the UK healthcare market and medical devices segment?
The EU does not regulate the member states' healthcare markets; therefore, the overall structure and workings of the National Health Service (NHS) and private sector should remain unchanged. The impact on the medical device segment will depend on the final agreement agreed by the UK and EU. There is a possibility that both parties will not come to an agreement and the UK will depart without a deal. This could affect various points of the chain such as the regulatory and legal environment, market authorizations, authority of UK notified bodies, the role of UK/EU authorized representatives, customs, etc.
What can I do to prepare?
Existing or potential suppliers and importers of medical products into the UK and wider EU markets are advised to review areas of their business that could be affected by BREXIT and ensure they have contingency plans in place to cope with any eventuality. Keep up to date with negotiations by monitoring the media, visiting UK Government web sites such as the Department for Exiting the European Union (https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-exiting-the-european-union) and industry-specific websites such as the Association of British HealthTech Industries (https://www.abhi.org.uk/resource-hub/).

A belated happy new year to our listeners! We hope you've hit the ground running in 2013.
At the end of each year at Pandora we always pause to take a look back. We have much to be thankful for, but the passion and joy we feel from our listeners is at the top of our list. Thank you for making 2012 yet another fantastic year.
When we created the Music Genome Project thirteen years ago, we had a dual purpose: connect people with music they love and help talented artists find their audiences. We knew if we could get the first part right, the second would naturally follow.
You listened to over 1 million different songs by over 100,000 different artists.
Over 10,000 artists had more than 250,000 unique listeners.
You created over 1.6 billion stations.
You listened to over 13 billion hours of music.
We believe that all great music deserves an audience. And we hear every day from artists that Pandora is helping them find that audience. It's incredibly exciting for us… and to think we've only just begun.
So thanks again for listening. And remember, if you find a band you love, buy their music, go see a show, join a fan club. That's how we'll create a vital and healthy musical culture here, and around the world.
I had listen your music . It was great music . Thank you for sharing your blog with us.
Just wanted to stop by and say we look forward to what Pandora has in store for 2013. It's been a great service that we've enjoyed so far and your blog provides some really cool "behind-the-scenes" access. Thanks.

The Brazilian population feel that the government should be spending money on healthcare and improvements, not on "white elephant" football stadiums. They don't believe that hosting a World Cup brings any long term gain to the country.
By winning the World Cup, we didn't change the world, we didn't bring down the price of bread. It was a lovely thought that football players can solve people's problems; I wish we could. We'd all be better off.

You can access the beach via a footpath from the site which is a flat walk and takes about 10 miutes , also some lovely local walks. There is also a bus stop out side the site with regular buses into weymouth. The van is ideal if you want a family holiday or just 2 of you for a lazy break even during the autumn and winter .
The onsite facilaties include swimming pool , entertainment, bar and shop along with many activaties for children. All these need a pass but is not included in the price of renting the van.
The site is open also through november and december for those wanting time away but none of the facilaties are open but as you can see from above information pub ,chip shop and co op are very close by.
If you want any more information please dont hesitate to contact me. Sort stays are available out of peak season please ask for details .
I ask for a £75 deposit and the balance 2 weeks before arrival. The deposit is non refundable.
