Monday 17 September 2018. Two leading housing bodies – Place Shapers and the National Federation of ALMOS – today called for the widespread adoption of the New NHS Alliance's Health Creation framework by frontline services across the health, care and housing sectors.
Health Creation asks professionals to move away from telling people and communities what they need. Instead, professionals focus on providing the conditions for people to gain control, make meaningful contact with others and build confidence which together support health and wellbeing. Health Creation is a route to wellness. It is also a route to a healthier local economy.
The National Federation of ALMOs (NFA) is the trade body that represents council housing ALMOs across England.
The NFA represents all 33 ALMOs which manage just under 450,000 council homes across 36 Local Authorities.


The Hot Mess roll at SushiFork is made with krab, cream cheese and jalapeno, tempura fried. The first SushiFork in Dallas opened in May 2018.
At new restaurant SushiFork in Dallas, their motto is "you pick, we roll." It's a build-your-own sushi roll place located on SMU Boulevard, near popular college hangouts Torchy's Tacos, Twisted Root Burger Co. and Barley House.
SushiFork has been open since early May, but to celebrate its grand opening June 8 and 9, the restaurant is giving away free food. (Are you listening, college kids?) Friday, June 8, it's free California rolls; Saturday, June 9 it's the Hot Mess Roll -- krab, cream cheese and jalapeno, tempura fried. The freebies are good for one roll per person, per day.
This SushiFork is Dallas' first, but a press release says it's "the first of many" in North Texas. "Franchising was part of our plan from the beginning," says chef Greg Bossler in a statement. The company hails from Tulsa.
If someone in your group doesn't eat sushi, SushiFork also sells a chicken salad, chicken wrap and kimchee fries, among other non-seafood options.
If you're a fan of poke, SushiFork has some similar flair with its build-your-own options. Also like some poke restaurants, SushiFork sells "sushi burritos," which are basically larger sushi rolls stuffed with ingredients like tuna, salmon, avocado, jalapeno and spicy mayo.
Here's the SushiFork. Like a spork, but not?

Changes in the distribution and status of sage-grouse in Utah
Jeffrey L. Beck, University of Idaho, Moscow
Dean L. Mitchell, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Salt Lake City, Utah
Brian D. Maxfield, Utah Division of Wildlife Resources, Vernal, Utah
Sage-grouse (Centrocercus spp.) were abundant in all of Utah's 29 counties at the time of European settlement wherever sagebrush (Artemisia spp.) occurred. Greater Sage-Grouse (C. urophasianus) inhabited areas north and west of the Colorado River, and Gunnison Sage-Grouse (C. minimus) occupied suitable habitat south and east of the Colorado River. The largest Greater Sage-Grouse populations in Utah are currently restricted to suitable habitats in Box Elder, Garfield, Rich, Uintah, and Wayne Counties. A remnant breeding population of Gunnison Sage-Grouse occurs in eastern San Juan County. We stratified Greater Sage-Grouse populations (1971–2000) by counties where the 1996 to 2000 moving average for estimated spring breeding populations was >500 (GT500) or <500 (LT500). Males per lek declined in all populations from 1971 to 2000; however, there were consistently more males observed on GT500 than on LT500 leks. Juveniles per adult hen (including yearling hens) Greater Sage-Grouse in the 1973–2000 fall harvest in Box Elder, Rich, and Wayne Counties did not differ from 2.25, a ratio suggesting sustainable or increasing sage-grouse populations. Declines are attributed to loss, fragmentation, and degradation of sagebrush habitat. Sage-grouse conservation ultimately depends on management and enhancement of remaining sagebrush rangelands in Utah.

Taiwan Province
This article is about the province of the Republic of China. For the claimed province of the People's Republic of China, see Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China. For other uses, see Taiwan Province (disambiguation).
Taiwan Province (Chinese: 臺灣省; pinyin: Táiwān Shěng; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Tâi-oân-séng; PFS: Thòi-vàn-sén or Thòi-vân-sén) is a nominal administrative division of the Republic of China (ROC). Its definition has remained part of the Constitution of the Republic of China, but the province is no longer considered to have any administrative function practically.[2][3]

Taiwan Province covers approximately 69% of the island of Taiwan, and comprises around 31% of the total population. The province initially covered the entire island of Taiwan (Formosa), Penghu (the Pescadores), Orchid Island, Green Island, Xiaoliuqiu Island, and their surrounding islands. Between 1967 and 2014, six special municipalities (Kaohsiung, New Taipei, Taichung, Tainan, Taipei and Taoyuan) were split off from the province, all in the most populous regions.
Taiwan was initially made a prefecture of Fujian Province by the Qing dynasty of China after its conquest of the Kingdom of Tungning in 1683. Following the French offensive in northern Taiwan during the Sino-French War, the island's strategic position in maritime security and defence was re-evaluated and given prominence by the Qing.[4] Under the auspices of Liu Ming-chuan, a plan was commenced to develop Taiwan into a stand-alone division. In 1887, Taiwan was designated as a distinct province (namely "Fujian-Taiwan Province"; Chinese: 福建臺灣省), with Liu as the first governor, but the island was then ceded to the Empire of Japan in 1895, following China's defeat in the First Sino-Japanese War. After the surrender of Japan in World War II, the province was re-established on Taiwan by the Kuomintang (KMT)-led Nationalist Government in September 1945 and it became the last stronghold of the KMT government after their defeat in the Chinese Civil War. The provincial capital of Taipei has correspondingly become the provisional capital of the ROC central government since 1949.
During the constitutional reform initiated in 1996, the ROC authorities decided to downsize the provincial structure to solve the problem of overlapping personnel and administrative resources between the provincial and central governments, and cut excessive public spending.[5] The provinces were streamlined and ceased to be self-governing bodies in December 1998, with their administrative functions transferred to the Executive Yuan's subsidiary National Development Council, as well as second-tier local governments such as counties. In July 2018, all provincial governmental organs were formally abolished, with their budget and personnel removed.[3][6]

Qing EmpireEdit
In 1683, Zheng Keshuang (third ruler of the Kingdom of Tungning and a grandson of Koxinga), surrendered to the Qing Empire following a naval engagement with Admiral Shi Lang. The Qing then ruled the Taiwanese archipelago (including Penghu) as Taiwan Prefecture of Fujian Province. In 1875, Taipeh Prefecture was separated from Taiwan Prefecture. In 1885, work commenced under the auspices of Liu Ming-chuan to develop Taiwan into a province. In 1887, the island was designated as a province (officially "Fujian-Taiwan Province"; Chinese: 福建臺灣省), with Liu as the first governor.[7] The province was also reorganized into four prefectures, eleven districts, and three sub-prefectures.[8][9] The provincial capital, or "Taiwan-fu", was intended to be moved from the south (modern-day Tainan) to the more central area of Toatun (modern-day Taichung) in the revamped Taiwan Prefecture.[10] As the new central Taiwan-fu was still under construction, the capital was temporarily moved north to Taipeh (modern-day Taipei), which eventually was designated the provincial capital.

Empire of JapanEdit
In 1895, the entire Taiwan Province, including Penghu, was ceded to Japan following the First Sino-Japanese War through the Treaty of Shimonoseki. Under Japanese rule, the province was abolished in favour of Japanese-style divisions. After the surrender of Japan in 1945, the Taiwan was handed over to the Republic of China (ROC).
Republic of ChinaEdit
Map of Taiwan Province within the de jure territory of the ROC.
Prior to 1 January 2007 all vehicles registered in Taiwan Province carried the label "Taiwan Province" (台灣省) on their license plates.
The ROC government immediately established the Taiwan Provincial Government under first Chief Executive and government-general Chen Yi in September 1945.[12][13] Chen was extremely unpopular and his rule led to an uprising – the February 28 Incident of 1947. Chen was recalled in May 1947 and the government-general position was abolished.
When the Republic of China government was relocated to Taipei in 1949 as a result of the Kuomintang's (KMT) defeat by the Chinese Communist Party forces in the Chinese Civil War, the provincial administration remained in place under the claim that the ROC was still the government of all of China even though the opposition argued that it overlapped inefficiently with the national government.
The seat of the provincial government was moved from Taipei to Zhongxing New Village in 1956. Historically, Taiwan Province covers the entire island of Taiwan and all its associated islands. The city of Taipei was split off to become a province-level special municipality in 1967, and the city of Kaohsiung was split off in 1979 to become another special municipality. In December 2010, Kaohsiung County left the province and merged with the original Kaohsiung City to become an expanded Kaohsiung City, Taipei County became the special municipality named New Taipei City. The cities and counties of Taichung and Tainan were also merged, respectively, and elevated to special municipality. On 25 December 2014, Taoyuan County was upgraded into a special municipality and split off from Taiwan Province.
Until 1992, the governor of Taiwan province was appointed by the ROC central government. The office was often a stepping stone to higher office.
In 1992, the post of the governor of the province was opened to election. The then-opposition Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) agreed to retain the province with an elected governor in the hopes of creating a "Yeltsin effect" in which a popular local leader could overwhelm the national government. These hopes proved unfulfilled as then-Kuomintang member James Soong was elected governor of Taiwan province, defeating the DPP candidate Chen Ding-nan.
In 1997, as the result of an agreement between the KMT and the DPP, the powers of the provincial government were curtailed by constitutional amendments. The post of provincial governor was abolished. In addition, the provincial council was also replaced by the Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council. Although the stated purpose was administrative efficiency, Soong and his supporters claim that it was actually intended to impede James Soong's political life, though it did not have this effect.
The provincial administration was downscaled in 1998, most of its power handed to the central government. The counties and provincial cities under the province became the primary administrative divisions of the country.
GovernmentEdit
Main articles: Taiwan Provincial Government and Taiwan Provincial Consultative Council
The position of the Chairperson of the Provincial Government, appointed by the central government, is retained to comply with the Constitution.
The major operations of the provincial government, such as managing provincial highways and the Bank of Taiwan, have been transferred to the Executive Yuan since 1998. In July 2018, all remaining duties were transferred to the National Development Council and other ministries of the Executive Yuan.[14][failed verification]
The Taiwan Provincial Government was located in Zhongxing New Village, Nantou City, Nantou County between 1957 and 2018.

Territorial disputesEdit
Main articles: Senkaku Islands; Taiwan Province, People's Republic of China; and Two Chinas
The People's Republic of China (PRC) regards itself as the "successor state" of the Republic of China (ROC), which the PRC claims no longer legitimately exists, following establishment of the PRC in mainland China. The PRC asserts itself to be the sole legitimate government of China, and claims Taiwan as its 23rd province, even though the PRC itself has never had control of Taiwan or other ROC-held territories. The ROC disputes this position, maintaining that it still legitimately exists and that the PRC has not succeeded it.
The PRC claims the entirety of the island of Taiwan and its surrounding islets, including the Penghu, as parts of its Taiwan Province, corresponding to the ROC's Taiwan Province before the special municipalities were split off. The PRC claims that Taiwan is part of China, that the PRC succeeded the ROC as the sole legitimate authority in all of China upon its founding in 1949, and that therefore Taiwan is part of the PRC.
The Senkaku Islands, which are currently administered by Japan, are disputed by both the ROC and PRC, which claim them as the Tiaoyutai/Diaoyu Islands. The ROC government claims them as part of Toucheng Township, Yilan County.

Tribeca 2019 – Review: How LOST TRANSMISSIONS Gets Lost In Itself Too Often
By Alex Papaioannou
This debut is a film about mental health and music, and while an important subject matter, it doesn't necessarily hit all the marks that it should. Still, Simon Pegg is absolutely fantastic and confirms his serious acting skills.
Technical Merit
Lost Transmissions is a film about mental health and music, which is fitting considering music is commonly used as a therapeutic release. Produced by Pulse Films and Royal Road Entertainment, whom regularly produce music-driven projects, this film joins a long list of films similar to it, although this has some key differences, which are luckily its strong points. Inspired by a true story, writer/director Katharine O'Brien has made her debut feature film involve a subject that genuinely matters in 2019. Rooted in how mental health is problematically disregarded in America, Lost Transmissions takes the form of a bright spotlight that is necessary to expose harsh realities, and hopefully promote change. Unfortunately, there are times when these examples come off as misguided or played for laughs, which is upsetting whether intentional or not.
Simon Pegg portrays music producer Theo, a schizophrenic who refuses to take his medication. And while his performance is absolutely brilliant and shows off his dramatic acting chops, some of his meltdowns garnered laughter from the audience. It's mainly due to how others in the scene react to his outbursts, and while it can be commentary, it still comes across as comedic when it really shouldn't. Yet when the film remains dramatic, it packs quite the punch. For Lost Transmissions highlights many different methods of coping with mental health, some more beneficial than others. It shows that there is more than one way to handle these situations, and for a subject so complex, it's refreshing to view a film that doesn't take the idealistic approach and everything works out as planned immediately.
It should be noted however, that some of these methods definitely don't seem properly thought out, and that could be harmful. So in specific moments that feel on the nose or questionable, it's important to take into account that the best course of action differs per person. Still, it seems a fair amount of research and first-hand experience went into this film, so it's not as if Lost Transmissions is showing unjustified methods, some may just be more unwarranted than others. It's also interesting to note how many examples of triggers are shown throughout the film, further exemplifying a deep understanding of mental health. Taking place in the LA music scene, there are dark paths everywhere, and the film sees Theo and Hannah go down quite a few. However, Lost Transmissions definitely leaves much to be desired in terms of further exploration of these channels.
This film is primarily about the mental healthcare system, but O'Brien also makes a point to provide commentary on the music industry as a whole. Juno Temple plays Hannah, a songwriter that ends up writing lyrics for an over the top caricature of a pop star portrayed by Alexandra Daddario. She only stars in three scenes, but quite frankly, a Popstar-esque film starring her satirizing the world of pop would be a riot, as she is very comedic and not very far off from reality. Yet by the end of the film, Hannah states a direct criticism of the industry that doesn't really come from anywhere. All of the industry sub-plot seems to be zoomed past relatively quickly, and begins and ends before the audience know it. Both plots could be juggled easily and work off of each other, but the imbalance leaves a poor taste with the viewer.
And that feels like the main problem with Lost Transmissions. There is a certain wonder that comes from discovering new music and new bonds, and Lost Transmissions doesn't seem to revel in that aspect. Instead, it gets right into the bulk of the main conflict, and while it garners attention because it's a genuine problem in America, it doesn't command attention from holding its own as a film. The only exception to this is whenever a long take is present, as it tends to always bring forth the most emotion time and time again. They normally consist of just long conversations where the two leads are left to their own display of acting, and they are all fantastic. It's within scenes like these where Lost Transmissions defines itself, but then becomes muddled on the way to the next example.
Overall, this film is very similar to the relevance of its title. Theo believes under the static of radio waves lies hidden messages and music to be heard. And within this film, there is a very concise and extremely emotional message to be taught. And while its basic points come across, it gets too bogged down in its own makings to properly reach deeper elements of what O'Brien is attempting to convey. The stress on those who are surrounded by mental health is examined, but only in short bursts. Choices are made regarding medication that never gets revisited. And by the time the film ends, one wonders whether the best decision possible was made, or if it just so happened to occur because of the plot necessity. Lost Transmissions is important, but some fine tuning is essential for it to elevate to a level that feels crucial.
Lost Transmissions celebrated its world premiere at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival and is part of the Spotlight Narrative section.

Since 1989 success coach José Mourinho has been together with Matilde "Tami" Faria. Together they have two children: Matilde 'Tita' Mourinho and José Mourinho Jr., who is called Zuca.
José Mourinho met his wife Matilde Faria when they were teenagers growing up in Setúbal. About her daily life little is known. In this regard, daughter Mathilde Mourinho is much better known in the English tabloids. She attracted attention with her low-cut dress and full bosom during the GQ Awards, where she appeared by the side of her father José Mourinho.
It was also speculated that 'Tita' was involved with One Direction singer Niall Horan. However, this is denied. The reason they are often spotted together is because Niall Horan is a big football fan, apparently. Son José Mourinho Junior is building a football career as a goalkeeper.
Jose Mourinho and his wife Matilde are passionate Catholics. They are also heavily involved in charity projects in Setubal.


Director Oliver Stone saw his four-part interviews with Russian President Putin as a way to give Americans a better understanding of a leader who has been demonized in the mainstream media, reports Dennis J Bernstein.
Not surprisingly, the U.S. mainstream media, which has obsessed over the Russia-gate "scandal" for months, is bashing director Oliver Stone for his four-part series of interviews with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the grounds that Stone should have been tougher.
But Stone's subtle and probing interviews of Putin — The Putin Interviews airing on Showtime — give the viewer a revealing inside look at the Russian leader, who is by all accounts extremely popular among Russians with approval ratings of around 80 percent.
I spoke with Stone at his Los Angeles offices on July 25th, soon after he was honored with the Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award by Consortiumnews.com, hosted by award-winning investigative reporter, Robert Parry.
Stone also will receive the Honorary Heart of Sarajevo Award "for his extraordinary contribution to the art of film" at the 23rd Sarajevo Film Festival in August.
Dennis Bernstein: Oliver Stone, how important was it for you to win the Gary Webb Freedom of the Press Award? Gary Webb, for those who don't know, was the reporter who broke the story about the CIA's relationship to drug traffickers.
Oliver Stone: Gary Webb was a hero of mine, as is Bob Parry. Bob has been with ConsortiumNews for many years. I met him when he was investigating the Iran-Contra affair back in the early 1990s.
DB: Of course, Gary Webb was shredded for the way in which he was able to document the end result of the CIA's involvement with drug traffickers. For a moment he was lauded, but then he was very quickly run out of the trade.
OS: The Iran-Contra affair is a typical example of this country's hypocrisy. It was a huge story and what Reagan did was impeachable. The mainstream press didn't want another shake-up of the government after Nixon. There was never any proper investigation of that mess. When you hear this latest Russian hacking business, it makes you even angrier because the stuff that truly deserves to be is not investigated.
DB: Why did you choose to interview Putin at this time?
OS: While I was in Moscow talking to Edward Snowden a couple years back, I met with Mr. Putin and asked him about Snowden. He was very forthcoming and gave me his very sensible take on the whole affair. I thought it would be a good idea to continue the interviews, though I wasn't sure he would cooperate. We did a series of four visits over two years, starting in June of 2015 and ending in February 2017. I am sure that if he had not been optimistic about the project he wouldn't have continued. We would be in Moscow for just two or three days and it was difficult to see him for more than a couple hours at a time.
Of course, at the time, the 2016 election was supposed to be in the bag for Ms. Clinton. We went back in February to interview Putin about the election results, which became notorious. Our intention was to make a profile of a world leader who had been villainized by the United States in an almost cartoon fashion since 2006-2007. The fact that the election blossomed into this huge issue only added fuel to the fire. You've seen the criticism of the film in the mass media here.
DB: The corporate mainstream reporting on the Ukraine has been amazing.
OS: It is an historical inaccuracy. If you read the accounts at the time in the Washington Post and the New York Times, there was zero coverage from the other side. Reporters were dismissing these stories as conspiracy theories and this was "on the day of." It was so evidently a coup, the Europeans knew it. Yet, in the United States, we seemed, as we often do, to be blissfully ignorant of the other side of the story.
We are looking for some justification for restarting the Cold War. It was almost as if we were back to confronting the Soviet Union again. We have been stalking Putin since he starting putting the economy back together again. Around 2004 you start to see the earliest criticism of him as a dictator and an embezzler, and so on.
And talk about meddling in elections, Putin was understated when he said that the United States was all over the Russian election in 2012. We have a clip of [Assistant] Secretary of State Victoria Nuland saying how we were trying to do all this good work in Russia, etc. We were blatantly interfering in their election. In 1996 we completely rigged the election for Yeltsin. He was so unpopular after four years in office that the communists were poised to take back the government. We arranged for him to get a gigantic loan from the IMF, among other things.
DB: What would you say were some of the most surprising moments in the Putin interviews?
OS: Well, already in the first interview we were discussing the very real threat of nuclear war. I asked about Clinton's aggressive rhetoric and Putin said, well, we're used to this from American political candidates. We heard it from Romney back in 2012. I think Putin assumed that Clinton was going to win the election. Trump's name never came up. You know, Russian diplomats complain that the Americans talk to them like cowboys, like barbarians. From the perspective of other countries, we declare wars in our election campaigns.
Putin talked with me at length about nuclear parity. I don't think most Americans realize that when Bush abrogated the non-proliferation treaty in 2001 we were removing one of the principal cornerstones of our national security. And then we put the ABM [Anti-Ballistic Missile] in Poland and more recently in Romania.
In 2009 Obama announced that we would be spending trillions of dollars to modernize our nuclear arsenal, and now Trump declares that we are going to win the next war. It is frightening as hell to the Russians. Putin pointed out that they currently have one-tenth of our military budget. All kinds of horrors could be in store if the United States tries to press its advantage with nuclear weapons.
DB: Was it your intention in these interviews to try to humanize Putin, if not for US leaders, at least for the American people? To give them the sense that there is someone we can deal with, who we can step back from the brink with?
OS: I am sure that he was willing to speak to me, to a private citizen, to someone not in a position of political power, because he wanted to send a message to the American people. I am sure he was quite surprised that Showtime picked it up and disseminated it in our country as well as in Europe.
Putin is well aware that the media in this country never really brings across what he is trying to say. I have been very impressed with his speeches. For example, the theme of his 2007 Munich [Security Conference] speech is still very relevant. He saw what was going on in the world, with our invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan. That speech was never really reported here in the United States. It is disgraceful that we cannot take an important foreign leader seriously and report his own words.
DB: It seems this is the way you succeed in US journalism, by bashing so-called enemies as opposed to trying to understand them and articulate their position.
OS: Even in the depths of the Cold War, Khrushchev and later Brezhnev weren't ridiculed on a personal level to the extent that Putin has been.
DB: Clearly we live in dangerous times, perhaps more dangerous than at the time of Cuban missile crisis.
OS: We're seeing Europe begin to wake up and realize that NATO is not what it was proposed to be and that the United States is not such a great partner to have. Maybe the US is just interested in Europe as a buffer state between us and them. Maybe Europe is beginning to feel more like a hostage than an ally. If the United States cannot yield its superiority, it is going to be a very rocky road ahead for everyone.

INTERVIEW: Vancouver-based electro-pop artist Josh Bogert releases new single, "Dreams"
Photo Credit: Emily Holmes
by Matthew Patania June 18, 2022, 7:07 pm 1.5k Views
Josh Bogert is a bonafide triple threat; singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer, the prolific 21-year-old delivers a distinctive sound that is both complex and candid, shaped by diverse musical influences ranging from artists like JP Saxe to Jon Bellion, and musical icons Ed Sheeran to Justin Bieber.
Traversing an array of personal pathways, Bogert's writing bites with honest lyrics set against a backdrop of dynamic arrangements that deliver a sound that feels organic, craftily conveying texture through lush production to engage the senses. An explorer of our innermost feelings, he has the innate ability to reflect the intimacy of relationships and communicate through song what it means to be human.
"Dreams," written and produced by Josh, is a fun pop track with a chorus that makes you want to get up and dance despite the yearning and nostalgia that comes through in Josh's lyricism.
In addition to his music career, Josh is an established actor who is known for his lead role as Miles Lennox in the Disney/Netflix/Family Channel original series Backstage,
Your musical journey has forever been in motion. At the age of four you began taking classical violin lessons, at the age of ten you took up guitar lessons, and in the years following, tried your hand at performing, and open mics in your community. What is it about this facet of the arts that appeals to you the most?
Josh Bogert (JB): "From my very first violin recital, I fell in love with being on stage. Performing has always been the driving force of my passion for music. It's the experience of connecting an entire audience through a song that makes me feel the most alive. It's an energy that is addictive, and I've yet to find it anywhere else."
Approaching adolescence, you began to follow more closely what it is that ignites a fire in your heart. With a career in the music industry as your main focus, you wrote your first song at the age of 13. What brought you to this realization? What has your journey up until this point allowed you to discover about who you dreamt of becoming as an artist, and what you needed to do on an individual level to get there?
JB: "I'm not sure exactly how I knew so surely from such a young age that this is what I wanted to put my life towards. I just made the decision that this is who I am. I didn't know exactly what the path would be, but I decided to start with the things I knew I could do and figure out the rest step by step. It's been a learn-as-I-go journey and I've been lucky to have had so many industry experiences early on. Every step has only strengthened my belief that this is what I'm supposed to be doing."
As someone who is familiar with the industry on multiple levels; proficient in playing many instruments, having a knack for music production, while continuing to master songwriting, how have you found it has helped with understanding your aspirations as a flourishing artist/individual in the industry?
JB: "I've fallen in love with every aspect of both music creation and performance. I love creating an experience for listeners and fans both on stage and in a recording. I think it's because those musical experiences shaped my life as a child, and I want to be able to give that same feeling to others. Immersing myself in the entire artform in all its facets has really helped me know for sure that it's the right path for me."
Beyond your voice, you have experience with another art form – acting. How have your experiences in this sector of the arts influenced your artistry, and ultimately how you carry yourself as a singer-songwriter (stage presence, nerves, load management, etc.)?
JB: "My experience with acting has definitely contributed to my comfort on stage, as well as speaking off stage with things like interviews and social media. It also opened a lot of doors for me in the music industry, and helped me get my start releasing music officially."
You've come to release your catchy new single, "Dreams." How did the idea for this song come together?
JB: "I wrote this song at the beginning of the pandemic, and my goal was to create a fun, catchy song that represents finding joy in a difficult situation. It was something that I think I needed reminding of myself, and I'm sure there will be listeners who feel the same. The song sounds fun, upbeat, and it's perfect for jamming along to all summer, but if you listen to the lyrics, it's about a joyful moment within a kind of sad story."
How would you compare the creative process behind this single to that of previous releases?
JB: "I usually co-write my songs, but this one I wrote on my own. No one else touched this song but me. From writing to mastering; I feel I put a lot of my personality into the song. That being said, on the release end of things, I'm more supported than ever. I'm grateful to have an incredible team working on the release and helping me get the word out to both my ride-or-die fans as well as new listeners!"
What does this song mean to you on a personal level?
JB: "This song is really about finding joy in difficult times, and focusing on the silver lining."
If listeners could take something away from the song, what would you hope it be?
JB: "I want listeners to find their own story to connect with the song. It's something that I think a lot of people will be able to relate to in their own way. I also just want the track to make people feel good!"
What can we expect from Josh Bogert following the release of the single?
JB: "I've got many songs in the vault that I can't wait to share with everyone. I'm also playing around with the idea of an album… so stay tuned! Also, I'm super happy to be getting back into more live stuff now that the world has opened up!"

NASA estimates heavy rainfall in Hurricane Dorian
by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center
Estimated rainfall accumulations for the region affected by Hurricane Dorian over the 24 hour period of Aug. 27, 2019 at 11:59 UTC to Aug. 28, 2019 at 11:59 UTC. The imagery was generated using the Integrated Multi-satEllite Retrievals for GPM (IMERG) "early run" product. The data indicates that up to 120 mm (4.72 inches) of rainfall accumulated in certain regions during the 24 hour period. Credit: NASA/Jacob Reed
Hurricane Dorian is packing heavy rain as it moves toward the Bahamas as predicted by NOAA's NHC or National Hurricane Center. NASA analyzed the storm and found heavy rainfall in the storm.
NASA has the ability to peer under the "hood" or clouds of a tropical cyclone and estimate the rainfall rates occurring. After looking into Dorian's clouds, imagery was generated using the Integrated Multi-satEllite Retrievals for GPM or IMERG "early run" product, at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland. IMERG uses a constellation of satellites united by the GPM Core Observatory to provide global observations of Earth's precipitation every 30 minutes.
IMERG estimated rainfall accumulations for the region affected by Hurricane Dorian over the 24 hour period of August 27 at (7:59 a.m. EDT) 11:59 UTC to August 28 at (7:59 a.m. EDT) 11:59 UTC. "The data indicates that up to 120 mm (4.72 inches) of rainfall accumulated in certain regions during the 24 hour period," said Jacob Reed of NASA Disasters Program, GPM at NASA Goddard.
NHC said that Dorian is expected to produce the following rainfall accumulations this weekend into early next week: The central Bahamas...2 to 4 inches, isolated 6 inches; the northwestern Bahamas and coastal sections of the Southeastern United States...4 to 8 inches, isolated 12 inches. This rainfall may cause life-threatening flash flood.
On Aug. 29 at 5 a.m. EDT (0900 UTC), NOAA's NHC said the center of Hurricane Dorian was located near latitude 20.5 degrees north and longitude 66.6 degrees west. That puts Dorian's center about 150 miles (240 km) north-northwest of San Juan, Puerto Rico and about 425 miles (685 km) east-southeast of the southeastern Bahamas.
Dorian is moving toward the northwest near 13 mph (20 kph), and this general motion is expected to continue through Friday. A west-northwestward motion is forecast to begin Friday night and continue into the weekend.
Maximum sustained winds are near 85 mph (140 kph) with higher gusts. Strengthening is forecast during the next few days, and Dorian is expected to become a major hurricane on Friday. The minimum central pressure based on earlier Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter data is 991 mb (29.27 inches).
NHC said "On this track, Dorian should move over the Atlantic well east of the southeastern and central Bahamas today and on Friday, and approach the northwestern Bahamas on Saturday."
Interests in the northwestern and central Bahamas should monitor the progress of Dorian. Swells are likely to begin affecting the east-facing shores of the Bahamas and the southeastern United States coast during the next few days. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.

Social Sculpture for Individual Goals
Social Sculpture for Individual Goals is an opportunity to check in with others about your personal goals.
The way it works is very simple: A group of individuals gathers together, and, depending on how many individuals are present, together we decide on a specific amount of time that each person will be allotted to speak to the group about their personal goals. We ask for one person to volunteer as a timekeeper, and that person keeps track of time, letting the person who is speaking know when they have one minute remaining, and when their time is up.
As each one of us takes our turn to speak, the group listens quietly and gives us an opportunity to speak from the heart about our personal goals. This process of personal goal-related sharing can go in many different directions, and each person who speaks is welcome to use this time in whatever way feels most helpful to them. This process provides an opportunity for the speaker to sort out their thoughts, to gain clarity around personal goals, to share setbacks and successes, and to be accountable to others. As we listen to others, it is an opportunity for us to practice deep listening and to receive inspiration from others.
While this is not an overly rule-bound process, we do ask that attendees keep the following guidelines in mind:
- When it is someone else's turn to speak, others in the group do not interrupt or query that person. We allow the person who is speaking to have 'the stage' to themself during their turn.
- During your own turn, keep the focus on yourself, and do not give feedback to others who have already spoken (note: it is okay to reference something someone else said, for example, something that inspired you–as long as you are mentioning it in relation to your own goals and your own process).
- Nobody is required to share. It is okay to attend and just listen to others, without sharing anything yourself. Also, it is okay if someone wants to speak for less than their allotted time.
- Please keep in mind that this is an open community forum; therefore, information that attendees choose to share is not considered confidential or anonymous.
This project is a collaboration between the Bureau and Ben G. Adams, a psychologist and artist whose work focuses on approaching tropes of personal and social transformation as art forms. The term 'social sculpture' was originally developed by 20th century conceptual artist Joseph Beuys in reference to the idea that all human beings are artists, and that all aspects of life can be approached as art forms. Ben's previous work includes an art book and dieting system titled The Creative Process Diet, mixed media works in printmaking and sculpture, and another (currently ongoing) iteration of Social Sculpture for Individual Goals developed in collaboration with the Religious Society of Friends of Truth (a.k.a. 'Quakers') beginning in January 2017.
There is no required cost to attend Social Sculpture for Individual Goals, which is being very generously sponsored by the Bureau of General Services—Queer Division, an independent organization that is operated entirely by volunteers. During the meeting we will pass around a bowl so that everyone who attends will receive an opportunity to make a voluntary donation to support the Bureau. The suggested donation is $10, and we ask attendees to be as generous as possible in their support of the Bureau, which generously sponsors Social Sculpture for Individual Goals and many other community-building projects.
Start: March 30, 2019 11:00 AM
End: March 30, 2019 1:00 PM
Venue: Bureau of General Services—Queer Division
Cost: $10 suggested donation to benefit the Bureau. No one turned away for lack of funds.

The Fops — A new play about Queer identity by Jack Shamblin
THE FOPS by Jack Shamblin bubbled up out of recent work-in-progress performances at Dixon Place. Sharing his new script and his birthday at the same time, he welcomes you to an artful reading, live music, and some good pink cake.
"Partying too hard, the aging Queer Monty time travels to Victorian New York's Paresis Hall, an all-male bordello. Engaging with the riff-raff, men-who-love-men, intellectuals, and twisted moralists; he confronts the frailty of his proud gay identity. Homo present meets past, and the future is up for grabs."
Jack has come a long, long way from that Bible-Belt Eastern Oklahoma town where he grew up, a two-hour drive from the headquarters of the Ku Klux Klan. Back in the eighties, when he drummed-up enough courage to tell a friend he was gay, she told him he would "die of Aids and then roast for eternity." His adoring mother went homophobic and threatened disownment. Depression followed, Jack was locked inside himself with so much to say but with no vehicle of expression. He calls it his "silent-state-of-Bohemia: a place full of singers without voices, dancers without legs and writers without hands."
Fast-forward to 2018 and meet the new and evolved Jack/Mia — international writer, actor, director, comedian, performance artist, and activist. He's created with Caryl Churchill, Kate Bornstein, Alexis Arquette, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Jayne Atkinson, Theodora Skipitares, Basil Twist, Ellie Covan, and Mark Wing-Davey. His plays performed at La MaMa, Dixon Place, HERE, and abroad. An anthology of his work Queering The Stage is on the shelves of BGSQD. He not only found his voice, his legs and his hands, but he clarified his direction as a queer leader and role model in the arts.
