MARGO'S STROKE UPDATES
SF STATE: ADVENTURES
She walked the walk (2,650 miles)
but not the talk; she wrote a book
Other tales: Carol (Prawicki) Stoll, John Moses, Barry
Locke, Simar Khanna, Peter Mellini, Courtenay Peddle
NOBODY TOLD Barbara Egbert to take a hike, at least not at the time, but the Phoenix alumna must have surprised her sedentary colleagues at the Mercury News in 2004.
She backpacked 137 days and 2,650 miles from Mexico to Canada. Then she wrote a book published last year by Wilderness Press, "Zero Days: The Real Life Adventure of Captain Bligh, Nellie Bly and 10-Year-Old Scrambler on the Pacific Crest Trail."
Captain Bligh and the Scrambler are the thru-hiker trail names for Barbara's husband, Gary Chambers, and their daughter, Mary Chambers. Barbara, of course, took the name of the legendary 19th century reporter. "Zero Day" is a term for a hike halt (for rest, injury or foul weather).
The SF State grad walked the walk, literally speaking, and, like Nellie herself, wrote about it. In a format unusual for such a tale, she discarded the linear mile-by-mile chronology. She chose instead to focus each chapter on different aspects of serious thru-hiking (food, bears, blisters, resupply, etc.) with humor, insight and the Scrambler's journal entries.
The Mercury News then rewarded the zeal and grit of the veteran copy editor and editorial writer. The NewsMedia bean counters this summer told Barbara and dozens of her colleagues to take a hike – out the door. She promptly landed a job with the Hoover Institution at Stanford.
No more treks, she told us. Her knees will never be the same.
Shoe business
BARRY LOCKE takes seriously the title of the book by Maya Angelou: "All God's Children Need Traveling Shoes." After leaving the Phoenix sports page in the 1980s, he traveled from hotel to hotel as the Giants beat reporter for the Hayward Review and other ANG papers. Now a writer/editor who puts out a weekly internal online newsletter for Nike, he writes about shoes for a living.
His traveling shoes took Barry to India this year, to Berlin/Amsterdam last year and to China for a series of award-winning videos the year before. In the meantime, to escape the rains in Portland, he wore his Nikes to Puerto Vallarta, Los Vegas and Scottsdale (for spring practice).
He even managed to stop last July in San Francisco, where he lamented that business trips left him little time to enjoy the pleasures of traveling. There's no business like shoe business. E-mail: barrytlocke@hotmail.com.
Bearly visible
ANOTHER BEAR STORY: Carol Stoll and her family were having a wonderful time, wish you were here, etc. It was an Amtrak vacation to Glacier National Park for Carol Stoll, who was Carol Prawicki when the Phoenix arts editor at SF State in the mid-80s. Then she worked as an editor for newspapers in Vacaville, Hayward and San Mateo, and now she's at a software company.
She was hiking happily down a mountain trail next to her schoolteacher husband, Brad. With them were third-grader Brandon and kindergartner Emma-Leigh. And then: "We saw a grizzly and her cub less than 50 yards from us," she said, "and the sight of them gave this mom quite a fright." The other mom and her cub must have reckoned that blond kids aren't too tasty and, according to Carol, "didn't take an interest in us."
SIMAR KHANNA with all 19 members of her family boarded a cruise ship in Vancouver last summer and watched the glories of Southeast Alaska from the comfort of the ship.... From Pauline Scholten, the same views: "We are watching a beautiful blue glacier drop ice into the ocean. Rita is in heaven. Paul is running around the ship with a pack of teens." ...Courtenay Peddle and Pam Magnuson inspired envy with a card from Bologna. It added Urbino and Lucca to their triplex of "cities with great chuches and religious art and really good restaurants." Not a word about birding, their mutual passion. Pam had always wanted to visit Italy, but it was Courtenay who wrote, "I couldn't have guessed what a magical country this is." And that's no bologna.
Globe Trotters
"WE ARE healthy," says Peter Mellini, "we are going to ramble." How true. The retired history professor (and partner with Lynn on oral history interviews with veterans of the police beat), accompanied by his wife Gisela, visited Chile and Argentina in January. In 2007 they flew to Cologne for Karneval, then by train and ferry to Vienna, Budapest, Prague and London. In the summer, four weeks in Turkey. In the fall, a drive to Sedona via Death Valley, Las Vegas and the Grand Canyon, followed by a visit to relatives and friends in Washington, D.C. Last ramble? Japan in May. Sayonara.
Letter from Gale Moses: "Most small-town editors carry a camera (see photo). John said, 'These days I carry a shotgun.' "
For John Moses, the promised land is north, to Alaska
THE ADVENTUROUS resolve of John and Gale Moses must have been tested last spring, or what passes for spring, in colorful Talkeetna (pop. 840). It's been their home since they moved two years ago from a comfortable life in comfortable Benicia to the backwoods of Alaska. And it's anything but comfortable.
"Well, friends," wrote Gale, "it's April 24th and it's snowing like the blazes out there today."
John is working full-time on his Alaska Pioneer Press ("Proudly Serving the Matanuska-Susitna and Denali Boroughs"), a free monthly that he and Gale founded in February after trying without success to buy the local paper.
Visit the online edition: www.akpioneerpress.com He's the reporter, copy desk, page designer, production foreman, delivery driver, webmaster and editor-in-chief. Yes, he's also the janitor – but the paper is theirs, not the afterthought of a stingy, uninterested publisher or a link in a far-off chain.
Gale sells the ads, substitutes in the schools and runs the bed-and-breakfast they bought from her mother, Jean Armstrong. John was working part-time then at the general store and helping at the B&B. As soon as she was freed from high school classes, Genna was planning to spend the summer as a hostess at the West Rib Pub and as a scooper at the ice cream counter.
"It's been a long winter," Gale said, "and all of us people affected by Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) have upped our anti-depressants."
John cites just one of the many ways in which Talkeetna is different from, say, Benicia, where John was editor of the daily Herald for nearly 10 years, or his prior jobs at the Marin I-J and the Independent in San Francisco.
"I thought working at a newspaper (the Independent) in Bayview/Hunter's Point was hazardous," he writes. "Check out what I saw when I was delivering the Pioneer Press last Friday. At Byers Creek Lodge, they were smoking fish and remarked that a brown bear had been around lately, a 3-year-old. No sooner did they say that than he appeared. He loped slowly straight toward all four of us. I jumped in my truck." The truck's horn scared him off – but not before John shot the little bear (with his camera).
By mid-summer, of course, S.A.D. faces were the exception in a town that's a busy waystation for tourists, mountaineers and hikers attracted by the spectacular Alaska Range, Mt. McKinley, the Denali National Park, aerial sightseeing, river rafting and lots of fishing.
And don't forget the Talkeetna Moose Dropping Festival (if you haven't heard of moose nuggets,
take a guess – a wild guess).

Closed Loop Fund offers insight into two major investments
A nonprofit recycling operation in Minnesota has received nearly $10 million from the Closed Loop Fund and other investors.
The $9.9 million investment in Eureka Recycling comes from Closed Loop Fund, RSF Social Finance and Calvert Foundation. Closed Loop Fund, which aims to leverage brand-owner money to boost recycling across the U.S., contributed $2.2 million.
"We are thrilled to work with two experienced impact investors who are beginning to invest in recycling projects," said Bridget Croke from Closed Loop Fund.
Closed Loop Fund also recently reported on the success of another recycling company it funded: Lakeshore Recycling Systems, based in the Chicago area. A below-market-rate loan helped enable construction of a single-stream MRF. The facility has boosted Lakeshore Recycling Systems' throughput and profitability.
'Model for where industry needs to go'
The group of investors chose Eureka because of its achievements.
"They are best in class in their operations to create smart contracts, low contamination and high recycling rates that will both drive strong diversion … and be a model for where the recycling industry needs to go," Croke told Resource Recycling.
Eureka recently won contracts to handle recycling services for the cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and Roseville, serving around 135,000 houses and multi-family units. The Minneapolis contract is for sorting only, and the St. Paul and Roseville contracts are for collection and sorting.
The Eureka single-stream MRF has a throughput of 80,000 tons per year. According to Lynn Hoffman, Eureka co-president, the residue rate is 5 percent and 90 percent of the material is sold in state.
Eureka will use the funding to enhance its MRF and collection fleet.
"We have purchased 18 new trucks that will allow us to move to a new collection system (carts and alley collection) in St. Paul," Hoffman said in an email. "The investments we've made in our MRF will help maintain the quality of our materials we market while increasing the speed that we can run single-stream [materials] through the facility."
It is rare to see a nonprofit MRF operator and hauler, but that is what drew the investors to Eureka. Croke described several reasons why Eureka is unique in the industry, including its mission to market commodities to best use — bottle-to-bottle glass instead of landfill cover, for example — and how it treats its employees. "They offer their employees better wages, benefits and full-time employment," Croke said.
Hoffman is also proud of Eureka's stance as a zero-waste organization.
"Our mission is to demonstrate that waste is preventable, not inevitable," Hoffman said. "Eureka's programs and services present real-world solutions to the social, environmental, economic and health problems caused by wasting. We believe in the power of sharing this model with our community as a critical first step in changing the systems that perpetuate waste."
Outlining Lakeshore success
In early 2016, Closed Loop Fund loaned Lakeshore Recycling Systems $1.5 million to help fund its $8.5 million Heartland single-stream MRF project. The project boosted throughputs from 20 tons per day to about 20 tons per hour, according to a project case study released by the Closed Loop Fund.
Before the MRF opened earlier this year in Forest View, Ill., just west of Chicago, Lakeshore Recycling Systems was paying to send material to other MRFs or the landfill because it lacked sortation capacity. Tip fees at other MRFs were approaching $50 per ton. Costs to tip at an area landfill were about $20 per ton and the price to tip at a transfer station was nearly $50 per ton.
Overall, disposal was costing Lakeshore million of dollars, totaling 20 percent or more of its cost of goods sold.
After the Heartland MRF opened, disposal costs have dropped and the company is experiencing a net operating profit of $50 per ton, according to information from Closed Loop Fund. That profit is the net of about $100 per ton in commodity sales revenue minus operating costs of $50 per ton (including residue disposal).
"Lakeshore … is proving recycling makes economic sense," Rob Kaplan, managing director of Closed Loop Partners, stated in a press release. "Their model is clearly creating a competitive advantage over the status quo in the industry."

Facebook will require employees to be vaccinated before returning to campus – TechCrunch
Earlier today, Google CEO Sundar Pichai announced that the company will require employees to be vaccinated before returning to work on-site. It was part of a larger letter sent to Google/Alphabet staff that also noted the company will be extending its work-from-home policy through October 18, as the Covid-19 Delta variant continues to sweep through the global population.
In a message to TechCrunch, Facebook's VP of People, Lori Goler, confirmed a similar policy for the social media giant.
"As our offices reopen, we will be requiring anyone coming to work at any of our US campuses to be vaccinated," Goler writes. "How we implement this policy will depend on local conditions and regulations. We will have a process for those who cannot be vaccinated for medical or other reasons and will be evaluating our approach in other regions as the situation evolves. We continue to work with experts to ensure our return to office plans prioritize everyone's health and safety."
The statement is worded similarly to the long letter penned by Pichai, which carved out an exception for "medical or other protected reasons." The comment doesn't offer an adjusted timeline for the return, which had initially planned to go half-capacity in September and full by October.
Last week, a spokesperson told The Wall Street Journal, "Expert guidelines state that vaccines are highly effective at preventing variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Our timelines to reopen our offices haven't changed."
Both statements offer some wiggle room for the company, based on things like local and state regulations, medical or personal concerns and, presumably, access to the vaccine, which can vary greatly based on region.
Amazon also responded to TechCrunch's inquiry on the matter, noting, "We strongly encourage Amazon employees and contractors to be vaccinated as soon as COVID-19 vaccines are available to them."
The company's current guidelines don't appear to require vaccination in order to return to its offices, though unvaccinated employees are required to wear masks. Face coverings are optional for those who have verification of being fully vaccinated.

A decade ago this month, the new de Young Museum opened in San Francisco, California. The Museum has created a special website to celebrate 10 years of the New de Young. The same month ten years ago, Metropolis Magazine published an eight-page profile on Zahner by Peter Hall entitled Sheet Metal Magicians. Hall is a design writer based in London who immersed himself in the A. Zahner Company factory culture, and discovered how such a building comes together.

At the time, Zahner was wrapping up construction for the de Young Museum. The building was designed by Herzog & de Meuron with executive architect Fong & Chan, and managed by Swinerton Builders. Zahner was responsible for the entire facade including the metal, glass and twisting structural form. Its metal facade was manufactured in its entirety at the Zahner shop in Kansas City. The story by Hall provides an in-depth look at his experience at Zahner.
On the walls and lying around on shelves and surfaces are zinc and copper panels, each bearing signs of having undergone tests for different patterns and patinas. Outside, the boxy 1980s structure has become a palimpsest of experimental building skins, the original weathering steel skin in turn covered by copper panels for the de Young.
The panels in Kansas City were a test run for the distinctive facade of the de Young Museum, opening this month in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. The architects, Herzog & de Meuron, have described it as a metamorphosing permeable skin intended to mimic the effect of light filtering through a canopy of leaves. It is the job of engineers like Paul Martin, at A. Zahner Company, a 108-year-old architectural-metal firm in Kansas City, to turn such flighty metaphors into hard reality.
Hall also describes how the pixelated metal surface was created, what would go on to become the patented ZIRA technology, powering both Zahner's ImageWall product as well as custom perforated metal licensees around the United States.
Developing a satisfactory method for fabricating the de Young facade took the best part of a year. Using a series of abstracted photographs of trees in the park as their source, Herzog & de Meuron architects developed a system with Zahner for replicating the dappled-light effect with embossed concave and convex circles of eleven varying depths and perforated holes of six varying diameters.
Further factory tests using the nibbling machine revealed that putting a flat bottom on the embossed circles increased the contrast at a distance. The challenge for the architects was that the design called for several hundred of these shapes in each of the 7,000 copper panels that made up the building skin.
Zahner pulled in a programmer, Eric Wilhelm, who wrote software in Perl that acted as a direct interface between architect and machinery. Armed with this automated version, Haas could adjust the contrast and porosity of the facade by changing the pixel density in a Photoshop image.
This rudimentary script was further developed over the years internally at Zahner. In 2014, the script was completely rewritten and developed as the ImageWall, an interactive perforation generator which enables the creation of perforated metal screens with user-uploaded imagery.
Among the challenges of the de Young Museum, the most trying for the entire team may have been the patina process.
Herzog & de Meuron had expected its gleaming penny-colored de Young finish to progressively fade from a bright copper to a cinnamon color and eventually assume a rich green patina that would blend with its park surroundings over a decade or more.
Waiting proved to be exactly what the Museum's patina required. Just in time for opening, the Museum's natural patina evened out into a warm umber. Today, ten years later, the Museum has taken on shades of mulberry violet with hints of turquoise.
Read the full article in Metropolis, and visit the de Young Museum's special website celebrating the 10-year anniversary of the de Young Museum's new building.


Call it gambling, gaming, wagering, betting, whatever. Whether it's on sports, blackjack, poker, or a horse named 'Hoof the magic dragster,' it's a sin, the devil's doing, and even if you happen to win mega-millions (God willing), ask any evangelical and they'll tell you you're going to wind up in hell.
Sports betting has never quite shared the same negative image that traditional gambling, such as casino games and poker. However, with the recent proliferation of online casinos and other gambling websites adding sports betting to their already existing services, the debate is only going to get hotter, particularly in the United States, where online gambling has already suffered a major blow.
Now, to add even more fuel to the already fiery debate, NBA referee Tim Donaghy has been accused of betting on basketball games he himself was officiating. Unbelievable? Perhaps. But less face it, the odds of this happening were very, very good. The odds of someone getting caught were merely lower.
Some folks, especially conservative members of Congress, are saying this marks the beginning of the end for betting on sports. Yeah, right. I wouldn't bet on it. Wagering on your favourite football, hockey or baseball team to win (or lose) is fun. Tons of fun. To even contemplate depriving Americans of this fun may succeed to a minor degree in the short run, but not in the long run. Prohibiting online sports betting would be so un-American, it scares me to just think about it. After all, it's not whether you win or lose, it's how much you win or lose.

When David Letterman permanently signs off the airwaves later this month, it won't just be the end of one of the greatest comedy institutions in TV history — it'll also close out an amazing showcase for musical talent. Nearly every episode of NBC's Late Night With David Letterman and CBS's Late Show With David Letterman had a musical guest, and it was the place where many Americans first saw everyone from R.E.M. and Weezer to Future Islands. We've put together 10 of the greatest musical moments from the shows' history, and though the list is by no means complete — we could easily have gone to 100 — these are the performances we keep returning to over and over again.

These tips will surely help you to choose the ideal powders for your skin and also you will learn how to apply them.
Is your skin is prone to acne? If it is then it is recommendable to apply only one layer of the powder, because otherwise you will get the opposite effect. If you apply more layers on your face then your face will look like you have a cream on it and the problem will be more than obvious.
If you have a mature skin and that is troubling you, then you are on the right place, because we can help you. At this point you need to know that your skin can look 10 years younger if you use a powder that suits your skin. Therefore you must avoid heavy powders that will make your wrinkles more notable. If you do this, your skin will look a lot fresher. The choice is pretty easy. Namely you need to choose light, nutritious powders or BB creams that will nourish your skin.
If you have dry skin then you need to know that your skin needs nutrients and light foundation in order to prevent damaging of the skin.
Do you have oily skin? If so, then you need to avoid applying powder on the shiny parts of the skin. Namely, what you need to do is choose a powder with a medium to high coverage power. Also you need to remember to apply the powder with a sponge, not your fingers, because if you apply the powder with your hands you will only transfer the grease from your hands to your face.

Murmurs of Earth Biography:
Richard Sinclair :
Music \ Lyrics \ Keyboards \ Percussion
Richard has been writing and recording music since the early 1980s: as a founding member of popular London electronic band Coffee in Zurich from 1981 until 1989; a member of Almost... from 1990 until 1999 and as a solo artist from 2003 until 2015. He formed Murmurs of Earth in 1986.
Richard released two solo albums 'Indubitably...' in 2009 and 'The Art of The Possible'' in 2011.
Richard was inspired to take a new direction after talking to electronic music pioneer John Foxx in 2011 and rather than set up and work with a formal band structure, Richard decided to breath new life into Murmurs of Earth and started working in collaboration with a collection of musicians, vocalists and creatives.
Richard teamed up with Geoff Pinckney in 2015.
Geoff Pinckney :
Lead Vocals \ Keyboards \ Guitar \ Percussion \ Production
Geoff formed Glasshouse in 1989 and successfully supported Gary Numan on two tours in 1991 and 1992, where coincidently Richard was in the audience for the London shows. Glasshouse disbanded in 1996 after which Geoff went on to form The Nine and released two albums, 'Native Anger' in 1997 and 'Dreamland' in 2000 as well as various singles on the US underground label A Different Drum.
Between 2006 and 2011 , Geoff played live keyboards and sang backing vocals for Bristol based band Mesh, playing all over Europe and the US and in 2007, he formed Tenek, with Peter Steer.
After releasing three albums 'Stateless' in 2009, 'On The Wire' in 2010 & 'Smoke & Mirrors' in 2015, Tenek went on an extended hiatus after celebrating their 10 year anniversary in 2017 to allow the band members to concentrate on other musical projects.
~oOo~
Murmurs of Earth's debut single 'Take It All" was released in July 2016 and their first album 'New Horizons' in May 2019.
In 2020, Murmurs of Earth was nominated for Electro Act of the year by online radio station, Radio Wigwam. After which Richard was invited to host a monthly radio show on the station called 'The Syntheraphy Show'. https://radiowigwam.co.uk/shows/the-syntherapy-show/

Sextortion and cyberattacks: are we heading towards a trade in shame?
Home > Security Monitoring > Sextortion and cyberattacks: are we heading towards a trade in shame?
Published on: 26 06 2019 | Modified on: 21 10 2022
Author: Victor Poitevin
Each month, several billion visitors flock to pornographic sites. These are figures that stimulate the imagination of cybercriminals, who are delighted with these fresh, vulnerable targets that can be easily and ruthlessly blackmailed.
After the giants Google, YouTube and Facebook, pornographic sites are among the most visited platforms in the world. According to SimilarWeb, on April 1, 2019, Pornhub was in 7th position with more than 3 billion monthly visits followed by Xvideos in 8th and Xnxx in 11th, with more than 2 billion visits each. These are figures that are sure to have cybercriminals blushing... with pleasure!
Cyberattacks linked to pornographic content almost tripled in 2018, according to Kaspersky. In 2017, Russian cybercriminals were already using fake pornographic applications to extort more than $890,000 through one million targeted Android phones. And on computers, there are more than 300,000 pieces of pornographic malware...
Are we heading towards a trade in shame?
The vulnerability of active members of these sites is all the greater because they provide personal information about themselves. In 2015, the leaking of the personal data of 32 million people registered on the adulterous dating site Ashley Madison caused a stir in the United States. And it launched the sextortion trend, a new form of cyberattack, based on shame and fear.
Matthieu Bonenfant, Marketing Director at Stormshield, confirms this underlying trend. "In the event of an attack, users feel a strong sense of guilt and will not necessarily report it. And given the high level of traffic on these sites, cybercriminals are making them a prime target."
A rush towards premium accounts
It is only a short step from dating sites to pornographic sites, and cybercriminals are not lacking in ideas when it comes to blackmailing their vulnerable users. They prefer to steal premium accounts, which are packed with information about their users. It is an effective method for blackmail and threats. At the end of last year, the hacking of 8 pornographic sites led to the theft of more than one million user accounts and associated personal data.
This Information can be used to blackmail the people in question, or it can be resold on the dark web to allow buyers to access these sites anonymously. You can never be too careful... In 2018, Kaspersky Lab found about 10,000 unique offers of premium access accounts to pornographic sites on the dark web, about twice the number of offers recorded the previous year (2017).
The explosion in webcam attacks
In addition to the threat hanging over these sites, a further one has become considerably more serious in recent months: webcam blackmail. "At the beginning of 2018, we recorded 400 to 500 reports per week of this type of attack. Since the beginning of 2019, we have seen several thousand of them per week," says Adrienne Charmet, Project Manager at cybermalveillance.gouv.fr.
Created in 2017 with the support of private actors such as Stormshield, this public platform is actively campaigning on its website and social networks to inform the public about webcam piracy. "In most cases, it's a hoax. So don't panic, don't answer and don't pay," explains Adrienne Charmet, who has a few tips in terms of what to do. Take screenshots in order to record the messages and file a complaint in order to report the attempted extortion.
Because here is precisely how these cyberattacks work: after threatening to disclose a compromising video to your family, colleagues or bosses, cybercriminals urge you to click on a link to check that the video exists; using a variety of strategies that vary in their credibility...
This link contains a harmful file that infects your device using GandCrab ransomware, whose popularity will certainly not be affected by the retirement of its creators…
Cybersecurity - by Stormshield
Ransomware-type cyberattacks often bypass traditional means of protecting corporate workstations. Because training your teams in good IT security practices is not enough, Stormshield Endpoint Security provides high-level, proactive protection against the latest threats.
Victor is Stormshield's Editorial & Digital Manager. Attached to the Marketing Department, his role is to improve the Group's online visibility. This involves Stormshield's entire ecosystem, including websites, social networks and blogs. He will make use of his diverse experience, gained in several major French and international groups and communications agencies, to fulfill the Group's high digital aspirations.

What Atlanta Can Teach Tech About Cultivating Black Talent
"…how can technology become more diverse and welcoming to underrepresented groups? The answer may be where few are looking—the city of Atlanta. Some 2,482 miles outside of Silicon Valley, Atlanta is a technological powerhouse—with a growing focus on the burgeoning field of artificial intelligence. Blessed with excellent institutions of higher learning like Georgia Tech, Emory, Morehouse, and Spelman, and with a robust private sector, Atlanta's tech scene is also a rarity: a hotbed of diverse innovation."

Ed Struijlaart (feat. The Hornaments) – Guitar
augustus 24
I wrote about talented Dutch singer-songwriter Ed Struijlaart before, when he released his single Make It On Your Own, early this year. Already a rising star in his home country, his music is also starting to be picked up elsewhere in Europe. In Spain, for instance, you can hear his 2016 single Gold in a commercial for San Miguel beer.
Last week, Struijlaart turned 39. Exactly 30 years ago, he got a guitar as a birthday present. An instrument he developed an intensive relationship with: it was there for him when he felt lonely, brought comfort when dear ones passed away, and brought luck when Ed decided to pursue his musical dream. In short: the guitar is the soundtrack of his life.
Now, Guitar is the singer's new single. An ode to his instrument, that comes with a great horn arrangement, played by Dave Vreuls, Koen Smits, Alex van Abeelen and David Romanello, collectively known as The Hornaments. All other instruments, as well as the production, mixing and mastering (a.k.a. 'the whole she-bang') were done by Struijlaart himself, who released the song on his own record label. Now that's what I call DIY!

Romes – Out Of It
Romes is two parts Canadian and two parts Irish. Brothers Jacob Alexander (vocals) and Nicolas Amadeus (drums), Andrew Keyes (bass) and James Tebbitt (guitar) met while attending school in Ireland, and formed the band in early 2015, after moving to Canada.
Out Of It is a track Romes have been playing live for a few years. Finally, this powerful pop tune has been properly recorded and released as the band's new single. Like their 2016 EP Believe and 2017 album Romes, the track was produced by Tony Hoffer (Air, Beck, Phoenix, Fitz & The Tantrums, M83 and many more).
Jacob Alexander says about the song: "The writing was inspired by Beyonce. I just imagine Queen B on stage doing that leg move she does, belting out the lyrics". Out Of It is the first taste of Romes' upcoming second album.
The Revivalists – All My Friends
Hozier and Rag 'n' Bone Man's successes appear to have inspired many other contemporary artists in making a musical cocktail containing blues, rock and soul. That often turns out good, to my liking. This is one more example.
Don't forget, however, that New Orleans 8-piece The Revivalists have been a hard-working band for 10 years, but they are now on the verge of breaking outside the US and Canada. This new song might do the trick.
All My Friends was produced by Dave Bassett, who worked with Elle King before, herself known for the infectious mix of genres I just described. In cooperation with the band, Bassett turned the track into a floor-stomping song, which a press release calls 'striking, sharp, and soulful, with swaggering piano and boisterous horns'. And that's just what it is…
All My Friends is the first single off The Revivalists' upcoming fourth studio album, set to be released this autumn.

Brother Leo – Strangers On An Island
Swedish singer, songwriter and producer Ola Svensson, who started his music career on Swedish Idol, currently acts under the stage name Brother Leo. "Brother Leo means freedom", he explains. "The name comes from a reoccurring dream I had as a kid," explains Ola. "In the dream I had a twin brother, he was a free spirit, brave, confident and always had the answers to everything. He had superpowers and his name was Leo."
Strangers On An Island is Brother Leo's debut single. A laidback, Beck-like track, produced by none other than Norman Cook, a.k.a. Fatboy Slim. What a way to start a career!

single track, wildcard
Wildcard (week 34):
Remember Australian band The Church, of Under The Milky Way fame? Singer Steve Kilbey has two daughters, Miranda and Elektra, who have a musical career of their own under the Say Lou Lou moniker.
After debuting in 2015 with their album Lucid Dreaming, they took the time to produce a follow-up. Earlier this year, they released the new song Ana, which is now followed by Golden Child. Both will be on the twin sisters' second album Immortelle, due for release on 21 September. It'll be a moody and sensual collection of songs with subtle nods to film noir, but always with the duo's dreamy, ethereal vocals at the centre.
Golden Child is a percussive pop anthem, with an intro that brings back memories of the wonderful single Sing by Travis. Then, it opens up with irresistible guitar licks and crisp drum fills, that give it a distinct 70's West Coast feel. At the same time, it sounds modern, thanks to the addition of delicate sound effects and a productional trick or two.
This week, Golden Child by Say Lou Lou is the Carte Blanche Music Wildcard! The songs that preceded it this year, can be found in the Wildcards 2018 playlist.
Yonaka – Fired Up
Yonaka are a four-(wo)man band from Brighton, with lead singer Theresa Jarvis as its centrepiece. The band name is Japanese for 'dead of night', and that's exactly where their sound thrives best; dark alt.pop with heavy riffs and catchy hooks. Good luck getting that out of your head!
Live, the band give it it their all, and that live sound translates well to their new EP Teach Me To Fight. Fired Up is my favourite track off it.

Áine Cahill – Beauty Is A Lie
After breaking through in her homeland Ireland, 23-year-old singer Áine Cahill is ready to capture Europe (for starters). Her new single Beauty Is A Lie is a haunting pop ballad, with an almost cinematic-like production. Lana Del Rey fans will love it!
In Cahill's words, the song is about 'all the bullshit we see day to day on social media'. She explains: "We all do it. People only show an edited version of themselves, the side they think is 'the best', but this is the world we are living in. I hate it, but I love it at the same time."
Beauty Is A Lie is accompanied by a creepy video, featuring moving shadows and strobing lights.

Sam Fender – Dead Boys
Do you ever go to festivals? Or club shows? I can recommend it! It's my personal conviction that music should speak for itself and shouldn't need a 'marketing story' or a video clip for it to be picked up (call me an idealist), but a good live performance can certainly help appreciate a song to the fullest.
Last weekend, I saw Sam Fender play at the Lowlands Festival, one of the most important festivals in the Netherlands. It was a set full of great guitar songs (logical, with such a name), that were sung extremely well. His band, in the classic guitar-bass-drums setup, was very tight and played with clear enthusiasm. The quartet appeared just as overwhelmed by the crowd's feedback as I was by the great sound. After the show, the public demanded an encore and, a very rare thing at festivals, they got one.
I already liked Sam's new single Dead Boys, but this great gig brought it back to my attention, resulting in this recommendation. And my repeated advice for you to go and see bands live. It can make all the difference!
One Bit & Louisa – Between You And Me
If you would have lined me up for a blind test, I'd have guessed Between You And Me was a Dua Lipa song, remixed by Shanguy. I would have failed the test gloriously.
In reality, this is the new single by One Bit, a UK duo consisting of Jonty Howard and Joe Murphy, who also delivered the wonderful My Way (feat. Noah Cyrus) late last year. On Between You And Me, Louisa is the featured vocalist. Louisa Johnson won 'The X Factor UK' in 2015.

The Struts – Primadonna Like Me
Derby band The Struts, now working from Los Angeles, are well underway to become the best classic rock band of this decennium. After One Night Only and Body Talks, they are now serving up the third single ahead of their second album. Judging from these tracks, that long-player is unlikely to disappoint.
Primadonna Like Me – a brilliant song title for flamboyant frontman Luke Spiller – opens with a cowbell, proceeding into an intro that brings back fond memories of songs like Start Me Up, Saturdaynight's Alright (For Fighting) and many more. And with a first line like 'Hey you, don't you know who I think I am?' you know for sure Spiller hasn't forgotten to squeeze in the right amount of bravado.
The Struts continue to hit the bull's eye. One hundred and eightyyyyyyyyy!


HOUSTON (AP) — The number of rigs exploring for oil and natural gas in the U.S. increased by nine last week to 440.
A year ago, 863 rigs were active. Depressed energy prices have sharply curtailed oil and gas exploration.
Houston oilfield services company Baker Hughes Inc. said Friday that 351 rigs sought oil and 88 explored for natural gas last week. One was listed as miscellaneous.
Among major oil- and gas-producing states, Texas gained three rigs, New Mexico and North Dakota each gained two and Louisiana, Oklahoma and Wyoming each gained one.
Kansas declined by one rig.
Alaska, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Utah and West Virginia were unchanged.

The Broken Heart Diaries - October 19, 2018 - Probably One Of The Worst Nights In Richie Havens Life
*Click on the box for the original post and explanation of what's going on here.*
***Note: This is a story from my book, The Boy Who Would Be A Fire Truck. I've posted this story many times, but it's one of my favorites, so here we go again!
One of folk singer's Richie Havens' biggest claims to fame is that he was the opening act at the legendary music festival Woodstock. That was probably one of the greatest times of his life. I can't officially say this, but I think after you read this story you'll agree that I was probably responsible for one of the worst times in his life.
Sometime in the early '80's, I was driving home from work and heard an ad from an FM station for a local bar announcing that Richie Havens would be playing in their beer garden on the following Thursday night. The name of the bar was Cassano's and it was located smack-dab in the center of Pioneer Park which was only a few blocks from the apartment complex where I lived.
The bar itself was dark, had a couple of pool tables and a vintage jukebox in the corner. In the back was a beer garden with a couple of picnic tables. It would be lucky if fifty people cold fit in there. And Richie Havens was going to be playing there? Talk about your Spinal Tap moments!
"Hello Cleveland!" Well, I guess that should be, "Hello Peoria!" Or maybe just, "Hello Beer Garden." Anyway playing in Cassano's beer garden was a gig I would've expected a local band to turn down. But Richie Havens? This guy had sold a lot of records through the years and was a famous musician.
Sure, Peoria was probably a pit stop on the way to a bigger gig in Chicago, but still, Cassano's beer garden? I knew one thing though, I was going to go.
Thursday night came and I picked up my friend Tim. Tim and I have been friends since we were freshmen in high school and both of us love music and absurdist humor and this was going to be both of those rolled into one. Tim got in and as we drove to the bar I pulled out a big slab of hash wrapped up in tin foil out of my jacket pocket. And I'm not talking roast beef hash either, I'm talking hashish.
I had bought this off of a drug dealer friend of mine and he assured me it was top grade shit. And it was a big slab, like five inches by five inches. Tim was impressed with it and asked if I had a hash pipe in the car and since I didn't we decided to eat it. Tim broke the slab in two and then broke those two in two and we each ate a quarter of the slab. I was sure that was enough to really get us fucked up. And it still left half the slab for later. It was like eating sandy dirt, but luckily Tim had brought a can of beer for each of us for the ride, so we quickly ate the big chunks of the hashish bar and washed it down with the beer.
Soon we pulled into the back of the gravel parking lot and made our way into the inner sanctum of Cassano's Bar. We each sat at a stool with crumbling burgundy leather seats in the dark and smoky bar and ordered bottles of Budweiser. Two bikers were playing pool and there were assorted older hippie type people hanging out at the bar and sitting at a couple of the tiny beat up, wooden, cigarette burned rectangle tables.
After about a half an hour I asked Tim if he felt anything from the hash and he said he didn't. I was certain my drug dealer friend had burned me, so we each ate another quarter of the slab. About five minutes later I started to feel really stoned. So did Tim.
"I'm starting to feel really fucked up," I told Tim.
"Me too," he shot back. "Wait'll the second quarter kicks in."
"Oh, shit," I mumbled and then we both started laughing uncontrollably. The bartender was staring at us and so was everybody else in the bar because we couldn't stop laughing.
Right around this time the back door to the beer garden opened up and a guy announced, "Anybody with tickets to see Richie Havens, can come into the garden."
Still giggling we made our way to the door, we dutifully handed the guy our tickets walked into the beer garden. The beer garden was basically just part of the parking lot that the owner had put a fence around. Inside the fenced in area were two small picnic tables, some folding chairs and a steel garbage can to throw your empties into. Pretty exotic, huh? For this night they had pulled the tables back and a little a little make-shift wooden stage was built with a microphone stand on it. A silver, metal stool was placed directly behind the microphone.
Tim and I sat in a couple of the beat up white folding chairs and scoped out the rest of the "audience." They were all older hippie types, with ponytails, faded denim and they all looked thrilled to be having this intimate show with the guy who opened Woodstock. All in all, the total audience count including Tim and I was probably around fifteen. A far cry from the 500,000 he performed for at Woodstock.
After about fifteen minutes the same guy who took the tickets at the door walked on to the small wooden "stage" and said into the microphone, "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the legendary Richie Havens."
And out from the side of the bar he emerged, acoustic guitar in hand to as much enthusiasm as a fifteen person crowd can muster. Tim and I were higher than projectile moonbeams and we were laughing our asses off. To his credit Richie Havens walked right out with a beaming smile as if he was walking into a big concert hall gig.
He looked pretty much the same and was wearing jeans and a white cotton shirt. He thanked everyone for being there and started in on some meandering story about a wedding he had just been to and about what it had meant to him.
Tim and I were really fucked up at this point and I said to him, "I'm so high I can hardly stand it!"
I thought I had said it to him normally, but he told me later I had said it really loud, and that I almost shouted it. I was so high I wasn't in control of my speaking levels.
Well, this caused everyone to turn and stare at me and Richie Havens even stopped his stupid little talk and he was staring at me too. I was so high and now with everyone staring at me it was too much. Koo koo ka choo. Paranoia had struck deep and I had to flee these staring faces.
I turned to Tim and said, "Let's get the fuck out of here."
That said we both got up and ran out of the beer garden, through the bar and out to the back of the parking lot where my car was. We jumped into the car and we both started laughing uncontrollably. In between our laughter I said to Tim, "Watch this."
Then I started my car and drove it over to the beer garden fence and positioned my car directly behind Richie Havens and I pulled it up as close to the fence as I could get it. He was singing, "Here Comes the Sun." I put the car in park and then laid on the horn. This stopped the song and some people were screaming at us, calling us assholes and various other sundry names.
I let up on the horn blowing and Richie Havens started singing the song again. Then I yelled out the window, "Hey Richie here comes the sun," and I started turning my headlights off and on and honking the horn again.
What a jerkoff I was, but it was some funnyass shit, let me tell you. Tim and I were howling with laughter. It was one of those stoned mind-tickling moments that can only happen after ingesting a couple grams of high grade hash into your system.
By now tears are streaming down our faces and Tim shouted out, "Oh shit!"
This caused me to look in his direction and the burly bartender and about five guys were running towards my car. And they didn't look too pleased. I threw the car into reverse, backed up and then floored it out of the parking lot, spraying gravel at the angry fellows in our wake. We went to another bar and laughed ourselves silly over our adventure. Tim and I still talk about it to this day.
Just the fact that Richie Havens could only drum up fifteen people to come see him in an entertainment-starved city must've been depressing enough. But then to have some stoned out hash-head blow you some serious shit must've really made for a bad night in the life and career of one Mr. Richie Havens.
When I lived in New York, I had always hoped to run into Richie Havens and ask him if he remembered that fateful night at a beer garden in Peoria. Well he died in April of 2013, so I guess I'll never know!
This is the window next to my desk in my bedroom where I do all of my writing and a lot of thinking. I stare at this window a lot. The blinds have never been up.

welcome to my personal blog journey
Melanie Reay: Shearer's cousin plots Sunderland Ladies' return to big time
By Hilda Perry February 19, 2020
Lucy Bronze, left, and Steph Houghton are among the former Sunderland players in the England squad.
"It was tough but we always kept our fighting spirit," says Reay. "Keira loves Sunderland such a lot she gave up WSL contracts to remain , so, no, I never felt like quitting. Over the past 20 years this club's produced numerous top players from the north-east; it's important to stay on doing that."
Tellingly, seven of the 23-woman England squad eventually summer's World Cup in France were former Sunderland players and 6 – including Steph Houghton, Lucy Bronze and Jill Scott – started the semi-final defeat by the USA. Now, though, there's no WSL team north of Manchester and therefore the most northerly venues when England host Euro 2021 are Sheffield/Rotherham and Manchester. judi bola terpercaya https://www.judibolaterbaik.co
"It would are nice to possess had games over here ," says Reay. "We've got the facilities." Indeed, neglecting to utilise the Stadium of sunshine , the Riverside and St James' Park with quick access to Europe from nearby Newcastle airport seems like something Reay has always been happily unfamiliar with: missing a sitter.
Once an utterly ruthless, positively Shearer-esque striker for Sunderland – 58 goals in 82 games – and Newcastle – 65 in 64 matches – she evidently has much in common together with her cousin; not that they need an excessive amount of chance to match notes. "I only really see Alan at family gatherings," she says. "Life's so busy."
Given that the 39-year-old Reay is married with alittle son, combining her day job as head of Gateshead college's women's football academy with managing Sunderland doesn't leave much spare time.
Two years ago, though, Reay couldn't resist a call for participation to require a few of weeks off and fill the gap between Neville's original No 2, Casey Stoney, departing for Manchester United and his current assistant, Bev Priestman, coming back from Canada.
"It was an honour," says a Uefa A licence holder so highly regarded by Neville during a draw with Wales and win against Bosnia that she subsequently coached an England Under-23s side at a Nordic tournament and spent a part of last summer's showpiece in France at the FA's invitation. "I'm hospitable any longer offers," she says.
The Lionesses' world of luxury hotels and privately chartered planes is light years from the conflicting priorities at Sunderland, where Grace McCatty, the team's defensive lynchpin, has flown in from Nairobi for Sunday's tie but misses some games due to the daunting logistics of her career as an Africa programme manager for the Prince's Trust.
Reay remains as unfazed as she once was within the penalty area. "You can only ask such a lot of players who aren't paid," she says. "But the unbeaten run's a source of pride; we would like to increase it against Birmingham."
