With phase 1 of the updated master plan, designed by Abell + Crozier, came this new classroom building. The building is designed as a background building, with composition, character, and materiality reminiscent of the existing buildings on the campus. The classrooms are stacked side-by-side, flanking each side of a central corridor.
designed for "lifestyle" instruction, which focuses on preparing students for the practical, day-to-day tasks, transitioning them from high school to independent living. The classroom building is sited behind the main school building, and is organized around the future student plaza.


All our sinks are painted with lead-free, mineral paints. The paints are part of the glazing of the sink, thus the patterns are durable, scratch and fading resistant.
The Mexican sink is hand decorated, which makes each and every of them a unique piece of craftsmanship of a Mexican artisan, so the Turquise Mexican sink delivered to you may slightly differ from the bowl presented in the photograph.
The Turquise Mexican sink is deep enough for the running water not to splash outside the sink. In the photographs of the bowl you may see the reflections of light.This exclusive Mexican sink is made in the traditional Talavera technique and it comes from city of Dolores Hidalgo in central Mexico. The Talavera technique is famous for the richness of design and patterns as well as for the intensity of colours which are so characteristic for Mexico bathed in sunlight.

Service providers Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Windows Azure, Verizon Terremark and NTT communications are added to support consulting giant Accenture's cloud platform.
According to Michael Liebow, global managing director for Accenture, through the Ireland-based technology services and management consultant firm's partnerships with the providers, Accenture is able to offer expanded services to clients and ultimately lower costs.
"It is just the beginning, and it represents a set of providers that have a significant global capability where [those providers] are pushing us to do business," said Liebow."[The service providers] have led and defined the cloud market space, and what we can do is help clients create guidelines and guardrail for which capacity to use, when and for what purpose."
Additionally, with four major providers, the road map extends Accenture's geographic footprint. Accenture already has a presence in the U.S. and Europe, and the partnership allows it to expand into Latin America and Asia, said Liebow.
"The key thing about this road map is that it's driven by the direction our clients want to go in," said Liebow. "It's this whole notion of how to enable a digital business, where we take their IT, the assets they have created in different industries, and ... platform them onto our platform and offer it as services to not just their existing customers but to expand their market reach locally and globally."
With the future of cloud expanding, said Troy Garrison, vice president of cloud experience for Verizon Terremark, the creation of Accenture's cloud platform gives Verizon the ability to globally access and enable its customers.
"Accenture drives a lot of business, and it's a different channel for us, as opposed to our direct sales, and it brings the ability to gain access to our customers," said Garrison. "It benefits us by globally reaching more customers, more use cases for consultants building interesting projects out on the cloud, and it validates the cloud platform," he said, adding that it also gives Verizon "reach to enterprise customers."
The refreshed and updated cloud platform version 2.1 offers a fully serviced flexible architecture to expand Accenture's service catalog and allow its customers to manage multiple cloud computing services.
"It is a flexible platform that acts as a storefront of sorts; it's a single pane of glass where [clients] can have a portfolio of service offerings at infrastructure layer and a variety of different IT services that clients need for their environment," said Liebow.
With the new platform, Liebow said he expects updates to be rolled out in the upcoming months.
"We will be adding a variety of service enhancements in the coming months all because of this foundation."

Yoknapatawphan Melody – Part 2 – M C Alves

Yoknapatawphan Melody – Part 2
M C Alves
Continued from yesterday …
There came one early morning when a loud knock on the door awakened everyone. The GNR. Both the boy and his cousin were hauled off to jail. His grandfather asked him what he and his cousin had done. The boy was shocked. He had no idea. After a few hours sitting on the hard bench of the station, they were taken before the Chief. His cousin had escaped from a Reformatory. The boy was given a stern warning about playing football in the street but his cousin was taken away. He had not, and would never, forget what that knock on the door sounded like.
He decided to see if he could find out what was up with Lori. But first he wanted a smoke. He went to the dresser where Lori hid hers and slid out one 'High Life' from the pack hidden underneath Lori's pile of Paris Match magazines. There was a photo of her in one of them. She was a very pretty girl.
The boy opened the doors and crawled out onto the metal grates which were the skeleton supporting the overhanging vines above the front terrace and made his way quietly down to the road. He learned such stealth from the many times he had needed to avoid the scrutiny of his stern grandfather on those occasions he had gone night fishing with his mates. He could still hear the landlady's invectives, and the smooshing of quinces, as he made his way to the village.
The village had only one café. Small, of course. This was the hub of the universe for anyone who lived within twenty kilometers along the road to nowhere. It was the post office, cultural center, dry goods store, town hall, communications center, in short, the nerve center. In the evening it was always packed with folks who had come to watch television—a rare luxury, having a television in those days—or play various card games and dominoes. They also had four Futsal tables, table football. The boy had developed quite a knack for that game. He had learned the trick of dominoes from his grandfather but it was at the Futsal tables where he would spend much of his time. When he got there the café was empty. A rarity even for this early afternoon hour. Not a soul. It was dark and cool inside so the boy headed for the back room from where he could hear the 'schwokk!' of the hard, wooden balls as it caromed off the side of the table. There was good sport afoot. He made for the game. As he passed one of the empty tables he noticed a small pile of change on one of them. No empty cup nor glass, nothing else, just a few coins. Enough for three games. He was not one given to thievery but this seemed to be a matter of finders-keepers. He deliberated for a few minutes but then scooped up the coins and went to off to play.
He won three out of four. But when he emerged from the game room the owner and a patron were in a heated argument. The man was bellicose, beet-red and animated, furiously exclaiming his outrage at being accused of not leaving payment for his sarsaparilla on the table. What was the world coming to when an honest man need tolerate such unwarranted suspicion? The owner remained impassive. The patron remained outraged. The boy made his way quietly out the door. He once again appreciated the value of stealth. He had not intended to cause such a ruckus. Had he seen anything else on the table he would not have taken the coins. Too late now.
He sat on the bench in front of the café, wondering whether he should go back in and explain. But that would mean a reimbursement would be required. Therein lay the rub. Perhaps tomorrow.
As he sat deliberating, from the alley across the road a group of men emerged. They were quite loud and quite harsh. The boy soon saw that in the middle of the group a young man was staggering. His shirt was ripped and had blood stains on the front. The men were shoving him along, grabbing at him, taunting and every so often they would kick him. The boy was startled at the sight. He had never seen anything quite like it. Tar and feathers lacking, it seemed as though they were dragging this lad along with as much discomfort and humiliation as they could inflict. The back road to Calvary.
Then the boy saw who it was. It was Lori's new love.
The boy cautiously approached the group and asked one of the men what had he done. He stole a fucking chicken, he answered.
The walk back home was far longer than the one to the café. When he arrived the landlady was thankfully gone but the air was full of the smell of quince. As he climbed back up along the hanging vines he could hear sobbing from Lori's open window.
He knocked gently on her door and asked if she was alright. She said yes. After a few moments he asked her if she would give him another dancing lesson tomorrow. She said maybe.

In 1992, shareholder activist Bob Monks purchased a full-page ad in the Wall Street Journal to illustrate that the real non-performing asset of Sears was its Board of Directors. This seems to be the case at Wells Fargo today. Its problems are not limited to the former CEO John Stumpf, who resigned: they are the result of a corporate policy coming from the very top, which left many clues along the way that the Board should have caught.
Since the beginning of his tenure, Stumpf had made no secret of his strategy of "going for gr-eight," meaning selling eight products to each customer and having each employee open eight new accounts every day. For years, employees had been calling the ethics hotline, reporting how the pressure to keep up with the quota of new accounts or be fired was forcing many employees to engage in illegal and abusive practices. And at least since 2013 this problem had been reported in the press.
Yet, a year after that revelation, the culture at Wells Fargo had not changed at all, at least according to an employee's report on the website Glassdoor.com: "Cross Selling is the only focus now, firing employees who are great at their job in every area that should matter but if the cross selling results are not meeting the ever ridiculous quota (which continues to rise) than you may not have a job next month." How could the board have ignored all of this? The entire board, not just the CEO, needs to be replaced.
To find out more about what institutional investors can do can to avoid this problem in the future, read my Bloomberg op-ed.

M-SPORT FORD MAKE IT SAFELY THROUGH
M-Sport Ford World Rally Team's Teemu Suninen and Gus Greensmith continue to enjoy near-perfect conditions at this weekend's Arctic Rally Finland – their EcoBoost-powered Ford Fiesta WRCs making it safely through today's competition.
Showing their speed through the narrow, more technical sections, both crews drove well and delivered some competitive split times. But the high-speed sections that characterised much of the day didn't fully suit the Fiesta.
When the conditions were at their trickiest, the Fiestas were able to demonstrate their pace and ability to challenge at the sharp end – Suninen setting the fourth fastest time despite a spin through a challenging second pass of Mustalampi (SS6).
Elsewhere in the WRC 2 category, Adrien Fourmaux was enjoying an intense battle for fourth place with Norway's Eyvind Brynildsen. Keeping the snow specialist honest, the position changed hands a number of times and the Frenchman was on course to regain the place before his Ford Fiesta Rally2 became lodged in a ditch.
Unable to free his stricken Fiesta, Fourmaux was forced to retire for the day but will be back to enjoy more winter rallying through tomorrow's closing stages.
"As amazing as this rally has been to watch, it's fair to say that it's not been our weekend. We've been analysing the data, and it was good to see some really strong times from both Teemu and Gus through the more technical splits. We're right up there when it's tricky, and that's a positive we can focus on.
"In the WRC 2 category, it was great to see Adrien battling with some of the snow specialists on what is only his third ever snow rally – and his first experience of conditions as wintery as these. Unfortunately, he just ran a bit wide towards the end of SS6 and with no spectators to help get him back on the road, he was forced to retire for the day."
Teemu Suninen (8th) said:
"I have been enjoying the driving a lot today. The pace isn't where we want it to be, but we can see that in the tricky, more technical sections we are capable of setting some top times. The conditions also became a lot trickier this afternoon and we were also able to show a bit more of what we can do there which was good.
"Tomorrow will be quite challenging as the stages will be very fast again. The goal is to make it to the finish, but if we have a perfect run through the Power Stage then there is chance to score a few points there as well. Let's see how it goes."
"I'm still ruing yesterday's opening stage as that hampered our road position today! But generally, the morning was pretty good and I was quite happy with the progress we made. It was a bit trickier in the afternoon as we had to take two spares to contend with the worsening conditions and didn't really have the right setup to make that work.
"But overall, not a bad day and it's amazing to drive these cars in these conditions. We know what we need to do as a team, and I've been able to identify some areas to improve my driving as well. So it's all going in the right direction – and we get to go enjoy these amazing stages again tomorrow!"
Adrien Fourmaux (9th WRC 2 / Restart) said:
"In a very slow corner I came a bit too wide and became stuck in the ditch. We tried as hard as we could to get the car out, but with no spectators it wasn't possible and we had to retire for the day.
"It was a big shame and a really disappointing moment for the whole team as we were in a really good battle for fourth place. I think we were unlucky this time, but it's part of the game and we'll be back to enjoy the stages tomorrow."

A HIGHLY energy-efficient house on the outskirts of the Stirlingshire village of Kippen has been recognised for its 'circular economy' qualities.
Says the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland, here: "Located on the edge of Kippen's conservation area, Ostro Passivhaus dispels the myth that exquisite contemporary architecture cannot be truly low-energy or environmentally beneficial.
"The house was a labour of love for its owners: [architectural practice] Paper Igloo's Mhairi Grant and Martin McCrae built the house by hand over several years on a modest budget. Nothing is unnecessary or superfluous, and all parts meaningfully contribute to the story of the building, and its beauty and durability in the face of the climate crisis."
The RIAS had shortlisted the house in its Buildings of the Year awards, making the house then eligible for a further 'special' award – 'circular economy design award', sponsored by Zero Waste Scotland.
In a similar vein, another shortlisted Scottish Buildings of the Year contender, High Sunderland – in the Scottish Borders – has been named, here, as Conservation award winner.
Ostro Passivhaus was recently showcased on BBC Scotland's Home of the Year show.

Ald. Graham speaks at citywide environmental event
By Patrick Smith | September 19, 2012
When Sammie and Angela Taylor moved into their home in the 4400 block of West Fulton Street, the vacant lot next to them was the "No. 1" spot for criminal activity in their section of Garfield Park.
At one time the lot had been a community garden, but for three years it went vacant and untended, and as the weeds grew over the individual plots, drug dealers took over the space out front.
When the Taylors moved in six years ago, they set out to fixing up the garden and changing the community around them.
"It changes the environment of our community. Being that we are from the West Side, we are, as all communities in Chicago are, plagued with crime and violence," said Angela Taylor. "In front of the garden space was the drug store for the community. That no longer exists; now it's a food source for the community."
The couple's Fulton Street Vegetable Garden provides food for shelters in Garfield Park and for the people who live in the area.
The Taylors, with their grandson Daniel Taylor, came to the Sept. 15 "Sharing Approaches that Work" conference at Truman College, 1145 W. Wilson Ave., to share their success story and learn from other community groups.
The conference, organized by Accelerate 77, an initiative of the Institute of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with five Chicago universities and 220 college interns, recruited groups from each of Chicago's 77 communities with projects that address sustainability or environmental issues.
Cultural Affairs CEO Terry Bergdall said the purpose of the conference was to connect groups with similar aims and let people know they are not alone. Austin's Ald. Deborah Graham (29th) echoed that sentiment.
"There are so many green initiatives that the community at large does not know about," Graham said. "We're going to get this information today and … take this information to the communities."
Graham is a member of Accelerate 77's advisory board and addressed a crowd of about 300.
"The purpose of this conference today is to connect with each other," Graham said.
Several Austin groups are involved with Accelerate 77, including the Growing Green and Root Riot, Graham said. Graham has a garden plot with Root Riot, near the Austin Town Hall and Douglass High School, where she planted tomatoes last year.
"I learned a lot about [gardening], and next year I'm really excited because now we have a farmers market at Austin Town Hall, so we're going to encourage people who grow their own vegetables to sell them at the farmers market," she said.
The Taylors already work with other communities across Chicago to help start their own gardens. Sammie Taylor estimates they helped build "about 50" community gardens in the past year.
"Not just in East Garfield Park, but in Humboldt Park, South Lawndale and the Austin community," he said.
That outreach has helped the Taylors build a network of cooperative groups throughout the South and West Sides, and the the couple will house seedlings for a number of groups in their new greenhouse this winter.
"We want to meet some people, gain some volunteers and just share the goodness of this type of practice, starting right here," Angela Taylor said affectionately grabbing her grandson's shoulder.
Daniel, 12, has been working in the garden since his grandparents started it. He lives down the street from the lot and said when he has a house he will plant his own garden.
"I started planting seeds and pulling weeds, and I've been doing it ever since I was 5, and I'm going to keep doing it," he said.
NBC 5 community affairs reporter Lisa Parker of Oak Park hosted the event, which the Institute of Cultural Affair's Spokesman Tom Wray estimated drew in 700 people throughout the day.

Vacant lots in Austin transformed
Seven years ago, the space across the street from Patricia and Robert Hart's house in the 600 block of North Latrobe Avenue was a literal dump. Now, with help from the group Human Scale, they've turned it into an accessible community garden. Next year, they will turn half the pergola into a greenhouse, and the other half into a workshop where events and classes about gardening and healthy eating can be hosted.

Beautiful Architecture – The AMB House.
The AMB House was designed by Jacobsen Arquitetura. The residence is situated at the coastline of São Paulo, Guaruja City amidst the Atlantic Forest. A hall that serves as a mezzanine overlooking the double ceiling living room. Big wood frame glass windows provide a beautiful view of the swimming pool, the rainforest, and the sea. The discreet wooden architecture blends perfectly with the nature.


Sponsored by the New York Open Center, the conference was anything but open-minded. Instead, participants launched into a litany of complaints against the so-called Christian Right that bordered on bigotry. I half expected it to end with a pitchfork armed mob breaking down the doors of a local church.
Perusing the Open Center's website, one will find the sort of New Age psychobabble melded with eastern mysticism and apocalyptic environmentalism that is common on the left these days. Having been taught by multiculturalism to hate their own western religious background, they turn instead to the east. It just goes to show you that people need to believe in something.
Those who run the Open Center obviously believed they were enlightened in holding their anti-Christian confab, but elitist would be more like it. Every time a speaker referred to a particular Christian belief or quoted a remark they found particularly inflammatory, the audience snickered knowingly, as if to say, "what a fool." Obviously, the secular fundamentalists of the Open Center consider themselves far more reasonable than those nutty Christians. But judging by the level of paranoia expressed at the conference, I wouldn't bet on it.
Not once during the conference was it mentioned that the real suicide bombers are Islamists who have been killing innocent civilians all over the world. Call me crazy, but isn't the zealot who's actually acting on his beliefs just a tad scarier than the one who's simply talking about it? Anyway, in a democratic society, belief does not equal theocracy.
Islamists on the other hand, are actively pushing a system that hearkens back to the 7th Century and they're not taking no for an answer. To compare this approach to that of American citizens simply exercising their democratic rights is beyond ludicrous.
Lest it be thought that Christians were the sole objects of wrath, "Neoconservatives" or in other words Jews, were also reviled.
Apparently, it's the Christians and the Jews that are the problem.
The funny thing is that's exactly what the Islamists are always saying.
It's no coincidence that as Christianity has declined in the West, Islam has been ascendant. Whether through demographics in Europe or ideological sway in America, Islam is clearly on the rise. In an ironic twist you couldn't make up if you tried, the attacks of 9/11 seem actually to have helped this along. The number of Muslim converts is growing, with disaffected secularists being ripe for the picking.
Meanwhile, Saudi money continues to pour into the coffers of U.S. institutions and to taint future generations with the stain of Wahhabism.

The trial was a media circus with various theories and two defendants ripe for ridicule. But what drove two well-to-do brothers to plot and murder their parents? Was it greed? Abuse? Or just an urge to kill.

CWRU Shield is a free smartphone application that helps Case Western Reserve University police respond to emergency situations quickly and with more accuracy than ever before.
CWRU Shield goes beyond GPS using cutting-edge technology called Indoor Positioning System (IPS). This enables emergency personnel to locate the caller's approximate internal building location (building, floor and room) using Wi-Fi.
After downloading the app, users create a profile with as much personal information as desired—photos, contact information, local address, medical conditions, emergency contacts and more. This information is stored on a secure server and used only during emergencies. For optimal performance, remember to "allow location services" and to keep your Wi-Fi turned "on" when on campus.
CWRU Shield has eight main functions. All of these functions can be used anywhere you have cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, both on and off campus.
For more information and instructions on CWRU Shield, watch the CWRU Shield Video. Questions or concerns should be directed to djs49@case.edu.
The CWRU Shield coverage area goes just beyond the frequently traveled areas in the University Circle area. If callers are outside the coverage boundaries, the app alerts users that they are outside CWRU's jurisdiction. Your phone then calls the nearest 911 communications center.
If an emergency call is pressed within the Shield coverage area, an alert is sent to the CWRU Communications Center that you may need help. Included in this alert is your profile information with a map of your current location. Your phone then calls the CWRU Communications Center and you are connected with emergency response.
Prior to receiving the emergency call, the dispatcher will already know who and where you are, alleviating the traditional 30 seconds of a 911 emergency call getting you the help you need. Additionally, if you are in a situation (medical or safety) and you cannot speak, you location will already be known and emergency response will be sent to your location. If the emergency call is placed inside a campus building and your Wi-Fi is turned on, your approximate internal building location (building, floor and room) will be known to reduce response time.
Friend Watch is designed to let the user's emergency contacts know if they may need help. For example, a user might set a safety check while walking from one building to another at night, walking from their office to a vehicle, going for a jog or any other activities where you just want additional safety.
Once set, the Friend Watch timer will run until the user turns it off or it expires. It will also send a text message to your emergency contacts in your CWRU Shield app profile alerting them you have set a Friend Watch. The text message also contains a link to a map with your current location. If the pre-determined time expires, CWRU Shield sends a text message to the emergency contact alerting them you may need assistance. Included in the text message is a description of your activity along with a link to a map showing your most recent location.
Friend Watch can be used anywhere the user has either cellular or Wi-Fi coverage. You do not have to be on campus to use this function (Spring Break, walking dog at home, on a blind date downtown, etc.).
Access the non-emergency Tips section to quickly send photos and videos—anonymously, if desired—directly to CWRU Police. These might include crime tips, suspicious activity, icy sidewalks, parking violations or maintenance issues. These can be sent from anywhere you have cellular or WiFi connection and do not need to be on campus.
Do not use Tips for emergency situations; you should use the emergency calling feature for dangerous or emergency situations. And please, do not put yourself in harm's way to capture a Tips report.
In addition to the campus shuttle system, the university offers a free shuttle service between the hours of 7 p.m. and 3 a.m., seven days a week. The Safe Ride shuttle operates anywhere in the University Circle area. To request a ride, simply press the "Get Safe Ride" button, enter your location and the shuttle will be sent to your location.
High call volume during peak hours or adverse weather conditions may affect response times. Campus bus systems may be a quicker option.
CWRU's campus bus system operates many different routes throughout the day and evening hours, 7 days a week. The buses are equipped with GPS. To see a list of campus bus stops near your current location, simply press "Shuttle Tracking" function in the app. A list of available routes with the next bus arrival time will be displayed.
An interactive map is available in the "Services" tab in the app containing CWRU Campus information with local attraction information.
During a campus emergency, many community members may have questions on what they are expected to do. This feature allows users to quickly access directions for various types of emergencies that may occur on a college campus. Simply select the type of emergency, and directions for that emergency will be displayed on your screen.
During times of stress or when you just need to speak with someone confidentially, CWRU Shield offers a quick and easy tool to get you the help you need. Just press the "Mental Health Counselor" button through the "Services" tab and you will be connected with 24-hour CWRU counseling services.
Download CWRU Shield from the iPhone App Store or Google Play.
The CWRU Shield instructional video shows you exactly how it works.

I learned that dreams don't work without action; I learned that no one could stop me but me. I learned that love is stronger than hate. And most important, I learned that God does exist. He and/or She is right inside you, underneath the pain, the sorrow, and the shame.


FREE Online Youngs Literal Translation. Nehemiah Chapter 2:1-20.
2:6 And the king saith to me (and the queen is sitting near him), `How long is thy journey? and when dost thou return?' and it is good before the king, and he sendeth me away, and I set to him a time.
2:8 and a letter unto Asaph, keeper of the paradise that the king hath, that he give to me trees for beams `for' the gates of the palace that the house hath, and for the wall of the city, and for the house into which I enter;' and the king giveth to me, according to the good hand of my God upon me.
2:10 and Sanballat the Horonite heareth, and Tobiah the servant, the Ammonite, and it is evil to them -- a great evil -- that a man hath come in to seek good for the sons of Israel.
2:12 and I rise by night, I and a few men with me, and have not declared to a man what my God is giving unto my heart to do for Jerusalem, and there is no beast with me except the beast on which I am riding.
2:13 And I go out through the gate of the valley by night, and unto the front of the fountain of the dragon, and unto the gate of the dunghill, and I am measuring about the walls of Jerusalem, that are broken down, and its gates consumed with fire.
2:15 and I am going up through the brook by night, and am measuring about the wall, and turn back, and come in through the gate of the valley, and turn back.
2:18 And I declare to them the hand of my God that is good upon me, and also the words of the king that he said to me, and they say, `Let us rise, and we have built;' and they strengthen their hands for good.


We purchased a puppy that was promised to be a tea-cup-toy (small dog) and the dog has not stopped growing. The money spent was wasted and we are more than disappointed with Michael & Lauren. They are extremely nice, but alas, do not know much about dog breeds. After spending $1, 300 for a dog that we could have adopted from a shelter, we feel duped and used. We are most disappointed in the advice and the dog we purchased at Vanity Pups!

Expansion planned at Kansas City Automotive Museum
A Kansas City-area automobile museum is planning to move, and grow.
KMBC-TV reports that the Kansas City Automotive Museum has outgrown its 10,000-square-foot space in Olathe, Kansas, which holds only about 30 cars. Leaders say they're considering various locations for the new museum, which could be as large as 80,000 square feet.
Among the possible sites are downtown Kansas City and the West Bottoms or Village West in Kansas City, Kansas.
The museum opened in 2014 as a nod to the region's rich automotive history.
Museum officials say Henry Ford built his first plant outside of Detroit in Kansas City, where Model T automobiles started rolling off the line in 1912.
Also, the nation's first African-American-owned dealership opened in Kansas City in the 1920s.

Home Hear Indie Roundup | 41 Songs To Take You To The Brink This...
Indie Roundup | 41 Songs To Take You To The Brink This Thursday (Part 3)
MIddle Kids, Brothers, Tyne-James Organ, Ali Comerford & more acts seal the deal.
Middle Kids clean up after the party, Brother take it easy, Tyne-James Organ gets dressed up, Ali Comerford knows that he knows — but do you know how many other great songs are hiding down near the bottom of your Thursday Roundup? There's only one way to find out:
27 | Middle Kids | Stacking Chairs
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Middle Kids release their new single Stacking Chairs, the fourth song from their upcoming album Today We're The Greatest. It's a love song, but like all songs written by lead singer and songwriter Hannah Joy, it celebrates both beauty and darkness. Stacking Chairs juxtaposes tales from (bandmate and husband) Tim Fitz's childhood in Papua New Guinea with their life together in marriage. Says Hannah Joy: "I never thought I was going to get married — I didn't think I would be able to love someone forever. I was scared that I would feel trapped and suffocated, or alternatively, leave or be left with a pile of ash and rubble. Going on the journey of marriage with Tim has been profound. It is very liberating having someone see you in your entirety and stay. Tim embodies that kind of 'stacking chairs' love — he's not just about the party. He's around afterward when I'm tired and ugly and loves me in those moments."
28 | Brother. | EZ
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Brother. is an indie alternative band in Salt Lake City. Bringing together an eclectic sound of energetic bass lines, catchy soundscapes and heavy-laden harmonies, they deliver an infectiously charismatic, laid-back sound. Their single EZ is the result of wanting to put more honesty into their music and lyrics, creating something that felt fresh and modern while still staying true to their sound. Written over the 2020 lockdown, Chuck Emery confides, "I felt like my whole world was ending. All of our plans for touring, releases and our goals were halted. I had worked so hard on setting it all up and all of it was canceled. The uncertainty of what the future held threw me into a deep depression with intense anxiety and panic attacks. After months of struggle, I realized the best thing for me was to slow down and take it easy."
29 | Tyne-James Organ | Sunday Suit
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Tyne-James Organ announces his debut album Necessary Evil, available May 21. To mark the milestone, the 25 year-old singer-songwriter today unveils his contagious single Sunday Suit. It shimmers with glowing grooves, lush layers and buoyant vocal melodies. "Sunday Suit is all about dancing away your troubles. In the nude. But alone so it's not creepy lol. But bringing it to life visually I didn't want to sing the words 'dancing naked' so I thought a Sunday Suit could be a nod to that."
30 | Ali Comerford | He Knows
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Ali Comerford spent the last 14 years performing viola in classical ensembles around the world in venues such as New York's Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Albert Hall and Dublin's National Concert Hall. Having moved back to her home in Ireland in January 2020, she has written and recorded her debut album of classically influenced folk songs. Her debut single He Knows is out today. Ali says "He Knows is a lilting song about leaving an unfulfilling relationship, the ups and downs of seeking support elsewhere and the resignation that the truth will always come out."
31 | Colour Tongues | Wasted
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Since their inception, Colour Tongues have taken hits and weathered storms, both literally and figuratively, and they're still alive to tell the story. Boasting a nurse, a carpenter, an actor, and a dog walker, the band combines elements of math and progressive rock with dreamy indie pop. New single Wasted is an electric dream that evokes a sense of hope, warmth, and belonging. You may have been Wasted on someone who never deserved you, but now that you know that — truly know that — there is no turning back. What's next is anyone's guess, but now life is an adventure again — and it is all yours."
32 | Mellor | Lost In This World
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "In a pursuit to maintain their success, Reading's Mellor continue their rise of the indie kingdom with their latest release Lost In This World. For the four-piece, this is the first track from their upcoming EP Fragment of Imagination, out in spring. The track is an exploration of the L-word and the complications it can bring when you transform into someone vulnerable. Lead singer Gary says, "It's about being so infatuated with someone, they can take advantage and lead you down any path they choose. You're helpless to their powers."
33 | Humphrey Dennis | Love?
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "After collaborating on a number of artist projects, rising Amsterdam producer Humphrey Dennis sets about establishing himself as a solo artist with his debut release Love? Acting as the perfect teaser and introduction to his forthcoming EP dedicated to Black fathers, the infectious instrumental release sees him explore the topic of self love, resonating with listeners on a similar journey of self belief and discovery."
34 | Eddie The Kidd | This Isn't Love (Kidd & Friends)
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Eddie the Kidd is in full gear for the release of dreamy synth-pop collab This Isn't Love (Kidd and Friends). It's a bewitching, collaborative transformation of his previous single This Isn't Love, and enlists artists Kisos and Nick White to develop the lovelorn storyline even further."
35 | Oh the Humanity! | Wit's End
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "There must be something in the waters of Massachusetts, because it produces some fantastic melodic hardcore bands like Oh the Humanity! They follow in the footsteps of A Wilhelm Scream and No Trigger by blending technical guitar playing at breakneck speed with heavy doses of melody. The band just dropped the lead single from their upcoming self-titled LP. Wit's End is a hardcore punk rock ripper that offers a cathartic release of aggression against a backdrop of guitar-monies and shred."

36 | Meena | God's Free Make Me
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "God's Free Make Me comes via Meena's Can't See EP. The track features a backing synth shimmer and post-punk rhythm section initially, adding a lively guitar tone alongside the expressive vocal performance. Added guitar jangles add further fervor past the one-minute mark. Bandmemeber Will says: "My vision for the record was a poppy hooky reverb-drenched layered record with big drums and deep bass, with a rich texture (every single bass note is played on the low E)." He continues: " I think the record is quite lyrically abstract but in general is about life, sadness and just trying to get through life."

37 | Jamie Nicks | Homewards
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Up-and-coming Oxford singer Jamie Nicks is set to release his first album this year. Nicks, who hails from Aberdeen and works in logistics at RAF Benson, has been making music since 2008 but has never done anything with it until now. His album Anthology comes out March 12, and here's a taste called Homecoming. "This song is about the time I was in Iraq with U.K. forces and how afraid my partner was with me being in Iraq. The song about about reassurance to my partner that she has nothing to fear and I will be coming home."
38 | Chey Rose | Polyester
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Get ready to have your heartstrings tugged. Polyester is one of those songs that is so powerfully written, so completely saturated with real, authentic emotion, that you can't to just listen to it; you experience it. From the beginning, Nashville pop artist Chey Rose will transport you to a dreamy world of warm and fuzzy feelings, a place where you feel completely at home, safe and loved. Chey elaborates, "The first line of the chorus, 'We don't fit in those perfect places where they're stuffy,' came from me just sitting in my room thinking about my best friends and how unique and special our relationships are. Then I found a title I'd had in my notes for a while, "polyester," with an idea to use the phrase 'warm and fuzzy' in the song. I just started typing and before I knew it, I had the whole chorus down."
39 | Darzo | What I'm Here For
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Based in Charlottesville, Darzo has mesmerized audiences with metaphor, melody, and rhythm — music that emerges from a deeply interior space in which private meanings become shared experience. Formed in 2016 by Adar Seligman-McComas, Darzo is not purely soul, not simply R&B, not straight-up jazz. "Although the song was written years ago, the narrative tends to reappear in my life over and over again. It tells a story about attempting to discover one's purpose, as well as the fear of failure that accompanies this discovery. It highlights the insignificance that we as humans can feel, and yet also the well of richness that we all carry within us. Lyrically, this song has an open-ended conclusion, but musically there is a feeling of jubilance; it's a hopeful song rather than one of defeat."
40 | Rivals | Alkaline
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: Los Angeles alt-rock band Rivals have dropped Alkaline, a cinematic pop-rock filled banger ahead of their sophomore release, Sad Looks Pretty On Me, out March 19. Alkaline' defies any preconceived notions of the band with an electronic-rock crossover that exudes the vibrant energy of their live shows. Vocalist Kalie Wolfe states: "Alkaline is a reference to the PH balance of water, and the hope of trying to find that sense of perfect balance between your personal lows and your highs. I also got to finally explain a moment of intense vertigo I have had in real life so that was also a fun one!"
41 | Bluntana | KlixKlaxK
THE EDITED PRESS RELEASE: "Chevez Manley, professionally known as Bluntana (formerly Toney Bluntana), is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. The Atlanta native's sonic style can be described best as a fusion of traditional grimey southern rap frequently intertwined with melodic crooning. Whether he's rapping or singing, Bluntana is bound to hold your attention and keep you on your toes as he seamlessly blends high energy, witty content, and an unorthodox yet smooth charisma over distorted 808s. KlixKlaxK is a story detailing the struggle of racial injustice and police brutality African-Americans face on a daily basis in America, and pays homage to the black kings and queens lost in the "land of the free."
