A new member with a twist to compliment the Beatwear Shea family - a coat as opposed to a jacket.
The Beatles Shea Stadium replica Jacket, worn by the Beatles in 1965 at the famous Shea Stadium concert in New York!
Made of the finest cotton yarns - our moleskin versions are constructed using tightly woven cotton yarns with a sueded finish creates a luxuriously soft and yet hard-wearing fabric.
Having offered the iconic Shea Stadium jacket for many years it became apparent to us that many customers loved the look but wanted something which could be worn as a more casual look coat - rather than jacket - this Shea Moleskin Coat is designed to be worn all year long.
**Please note: The size range of these coats are in inches and is a UK/USA size scale - in general for the European chest size you Increase the number by 10 ... ie a UK/USA size 50 would equate to a German/French size 60. We recommend you google a size conversion chart or email us for further advise if you are unsure of your size.
The coat is made on the same block as the usual Beatwear Shea Stadium Jacket so it will be a snug fit if you wish to wear just a T.Shirt, Shirt or thin sweater. We would suggest going up a size to accommodate thicker sweaters.
The Shea Moleskin Coat comes in sizes 36" to 48" chest, in a standard length only.


It seems fashion documentaries come along every September, but the anticipation for "Jeremy Scott – The People's Designer," directed by Vlad Yudin and hitting theaters Sept. 18, is perhaps more akin to that of a summer popcorn flick than an art house documentary. In short: people are expecting a fun ride. The designer dishes with WWD a few days ahead of the Los Angeles premiere on Sept. 8.
WWD: What does the film reveal to people that they might not have known about you before?
J.S.: There's a lot of people who know the iconic image of Katy Perry at the Super Bowl or Miley and me after my first Moschino show, but in this film, you see Katy and I in our car on the way to the Met and in the locker room bathroom before she goes on to the Super Bowl field. You get these behind-the-scene glimpses of what happened before all these moments.

Beyonce: Her Twins Remain Hospitalized for Health Issue
by Emily Trainham at June 18, 2017 11:49 am . Updated at June 19, 2017 9:31 pm .
By now, you've surely heard the good news.
Beyonce has given birth to her twins!
The world feels different now, doesn't it? More beautiful. More pure. Just better in an oddly tangible way.
The twins were born days ago, most likely on Monday.
That's why we've been hearing whispers and rumors all week, and also why Jay Z and Beyonce haven't been spotted in a while.
We still don't know the names of the new babies, and since it's taken nearly a week to learn of their entrance into the world, we don't expect to hear them anytime soon.
But multiple outlets are reporting that Beyonce's baby genders have been what the rumors have long suggested - one boy and one girl.
It's enough to bring a tear to your eye, isn't it?
Unfortunately, according to some new information from TMZ, there is some sort of medical issue with the babies.
There aren't many details, but a source has told the site that doctors have noticed a "minor issue" with the twins, but it's significant enough that they're keeping them hospitalized.
As of now, there's no word on what that issue could be, but the source insists that it's not a huge deal.
Beyonce is still in the hospital too, but the 35-year-old global music icon is said to be healthy.
The source says that doctors aren't sure when everyone will be able to be released ... which sounds alarming, doesn't it?
While it makes sense that you'd be rushing to your Beyonce altars to pray, there are plenty of reasons why the twins are staying in the hospital for now.
They could have had a low birth weight, which isn't uncommon for twins.
They could also have jaundice, which would also make sense if they're on the smaller side.
It could also be a number of other things -- there are plenty of "minor issues" that could affect newborns enough to require hospitalization.
Whatever the issue is, it sounds like it's under control, and that it'll just take time to get the babies to the point they need to be to go home.
And it can't be too bad -- Beyonce's father, Mathew Knowles, seems pretty happy about his new grandchildren.
"They're here!" he wrote on Twitter, along with a sweet little card that read "Happy Birthday to the twins! Love, Grandad."
Beyonce and Jay Z still haven't made the official announcement -- we're sure they have other things on their minds at the moment.
But we're sure it'll be coming soon now, though some members of the Beyhive are PISSED at Matthew Knowles for spilling the beans.
Should he have left it to his daughter to decide when to do that, and to do the honors? A lot of people think so, and it's hard to argue that.
Meanwhile, other fans are concerned for a different reason:
Beyonce: See All Her Glorious Pregnancy Photos!
You see, Beyonce's twins are geminis.
This astrological sign of Gemini is actually Latin for "twins," which means Beyonce has given birth to twins during twin season.
Which is apparently very bad luck.
Those who really believe there's true meaning behind one's astrological sign (Gemini's date range is May 20-June 20) are concerned.
For good reason? Likely not, but at this point, the lack of conclusive information about the twins' condition has people grasping at straws.

Δάσκαλος Theravada Ιωάννης Τσέλιος Βhante Νyanadassana
In 1959, Ioannis Tselios, later to be ordained as Bhikkhu Ñāṇadassana, was born in Greece to Orthodox Christian parents. He studied sociology at the University of Frankfurt in Germany and in 1981, at the age of 22 years, a trip to India resulted in the turning point of his life. The young Greek, whilst glancing through a tourist pamphlet, was deeply intrigued when he came across these memorable lines by the Buddha: "This is my last birth. I have crossed the ocean of existence."
Having now decided to find out more about the Buddha and his Teachings, he visited Kusinara, the place where the Buddha attained Parinibbāna, or final passing away. Here, under a senior Indian Buddhist monk, Tselios not only practised meditation but also read about Buddhism. His interest having now being whetted, he decided to search for the Buddha's original teachings and arrived in Sri Lanka.
In 1982, at the age of 23 years, he entered monkhood for full-time study and practice. For four years he practised under the guidance of the late Most Venerable Mātara Ñāṇārāma Mahāthera, the renown meditation master of Nissaraṇa Vanaya, Meetirigala. In 1986, he took the higher ordination with the late Most Venerable Rājakīya Paṇḍita Kaḍavedduve Shrī Jinavaüsa Mahāthera as his preceptor.
He then studied the Tipiṭaka with its Commentaries and Subcommentaries under three learned Mahātheras at Gnānārāma Dharmāyatanaya, Meetirigala, where he spent 16 years. Later he practised meditation in Burma for four and half years and in 2008 returned to Sri Lanka.
He is the author and translator of about ten Buddhist books in English, German, Sinhala, and Pāḷi and is adept at preaching the Dhamma in English and Sinhala.

Staff at Wilkies in Kirkcaldy were in an angelic mood back in 2010.
The team at the shop on the town's High Street were dressed up for the day to raise money for Cancer Research.

Okay, I know some of you are scared of my WIP bars (I personally find them very comforting, and some of them are for proposals, not full books – it's not that bad. Really) – but I'm not the one you should be scared of.
No, the one you should be running from is emailing me in song verse. Of the, falalalala kind. Yes, ScaryPsychoChristmasLarissa is back in action.
It's my own fault, really. I should never have made her send in our final Riding The Storm draft to our editor yesterday – she wanted the weekend to read through it. So if I hadn't insisted, she'd be all reading it now instead of singing and decorating and making a general Christmas nuisance of herself. And it's only December 2nd. And we have a proposal to write together for the third Sydney book that's due January 15th and she's all jolly and full of Christmas spirit when I'm all like, do we really even need a tree this year?
Oh…you'd better watch out, you'd better not cry, you'd better not pout I'm telling you whyyyyyyy….Santa Clause is coming, to tooooowwwwwnnnn!!!!
Poor Steph. I should email you some valium.
Jaci – to Larissa! And hurry!!!
Jaci, you've just earned yourself a drive-by cheer carol.
No one can outrun Santa and his reindeer….
That's right! He's got super duper rocket fuel (or is it just magic?) to power his sleigh and reindeer!


Do you have a failing dentition? Has another dentist recommended for you to get a denture? Has someone told you you don't have enough bone for implants? Any of the above situations are good indications for you to consider the All on Four treatment.
We offer snap on dental implants to secure lower dentures. These are the same Nobel Biocare brand of implants that we place for the All on Four, but just placing 2 in the lower arch can help with Stability, Security, and increase in bite force.
The Trefoil Implant Concept - is a new twist on an older concept. With Trefoil, we can deliver permanent fixed teeth quickly, at a lower cost, and with less visits then the All on Four by utilizing only 3 implants. We are able to permanently attach a fixed prosthesis so patients have maximum ability to eat, speak, and chew like normal. The cost is lower then the All on Four.
Missing a front tooth? Have congenitally missing teeth? Are you an adult with a baby tooth still in? Do you have an unaesthetic bridge? All of these are problems in which the best treatment is a single tooth implant with out sacrificing adjacent teeth for a bridge.
Dental implants are the new wave in the future of dentistry. As Dentists, we now can replace single teeth or a whole mouth of lost teeth. Dr. Damon and Dr. Blankenship are trained in both the placement and restoration of implants.
Developed in the 1980's, and gained widespread popularity and patient acceptance in late 1990's, Dental Implants offer a wide selection of restoration of broken teeth for our patients today. We can treat patients better with dental implants! Give them the solutions they are looking for and deserve!
Tired of a loose lower denture? Have you been told that you don't have enough bone for implants? Mini dental implants are a smaller diameter. Mini dental implants are placed to help secure a lower denture.
The cost of dental implants varies greatly depending on each patient's unique treatment plan.
We only provide the best implant on the market - Nobel Biocare. We are a Diamond provider - the TOP award given by Nobel Biocare, and the award is based on volume of business with Nobel. Dr. Damon says " Go with the Best and Go with what I would put in my mouth - Nobel".


I was born in Nantes, France to a family who loves eating and whose homegrown meals rival even the most dedicated of French households in both quality and length.
When did you start working in a kitchen?
I started cooking at a young age and have always been inspired by my mother's love of cooking and gardening. My introduction to the world of professional culinary arts began at 16 years old when I started pursuing my first degree. I hold three Degrees in the culinary arts with a formal education of over 6 years.
Where does your inspiration come from when you are creating a dish?
My inspiration for a dish is both visceral and experiential. I listen to my intuition while drawing from my work, travel and life experiences. By drawing from my life experiences it ensures me that I create and prepare each dish with passion.
My cooking style is Modern French, inspired by international ingredients.
Although I enjoy all types of food, my favorite is making macarons because it appeals to my attention to detail and passion for unique combinations. Making macarons is about precision, technique, and there are unlimited flavor combinations.
Butter! I use it as much as possible, as often as possible. It's also the main ingredient in French cooking.
What is your advice to people who want to become a chef?
Trust your intuition and believe in yourself. Be tough because it's both mental and physical work that is high pressure, long hours and labor intensive but if you're following your passion, it's worth it.
What is your ultimate food dream?
That one's easy. It's to experience a meal at Alain Ducasse's restaurant, Le Louis XV, in Monaco.
I decided to make the chocolate lava cake for my birthday and I couldn't wait to make it. I was surprised at how quick and easy it was to make. This is my absolute favorite dessert! I'm officially playing in the big leagues. Thank you, Chef Vincent!
I was captivated by the color of the panna cotta. It reminded me of my lilacs, so I decided to try it. This is officially my favorite desert. The flavors are incredible. The texture divine. It is a show stopping dessert. We were absolutely thrilled with your recipe from the first making and I wouldn't hesitate for a second in recommending it.
Vincent is the modern day Julia Child bringing the philosophy of French cuisine back to a fast-food society. Thoughtful, educated and authentic, he provides an invaluable resource to anyone wanting to improve their cooking skills. Finding My French Chef is the best thing that happened to my cooking!

All about Pär Grindvik and his debut album "Isle Of Real" on Stockholm LTD
33/45 May 11, 2016
Pär Grindvik has been a central figure in the Swedish electronic scene since the 90s as record store owner, label manager and producer. In his artistic career Pär has released music on many acclaimed labels, including a string of memorable tracks on his own Stockholm LTD imprint and Drumcode, with frequent collaborator Hardcell. Recently Pär has also contributed with releases on labels such as Semantica, Marbacka, Sinister and Dystopian.
Founded in 2002, Stockholm LTD began as an outlet for singles and EPs from Swedish artists, but over the years it has developed into a hallmark for quality music from a range of international artists. Building on this momentum, Pär started to sketch potential album material at the end of 2014. The result is his debut LP "Isle Of Real" to be released this spring. In our interview with Pär we get an in depth view into the sequence of events that brought him to this point in his career.
"Shine" from Isle of Real:
Tell us about your days as a record store manager, what motivated you to open your shop?
I've always been a collector, so finding new and old music for other enthusiasts kind of lead into opening our store. This was pretty much pre internet so we naturally became an important hub for the scene in Stockholm. The store was called Illegal, located in Södermalm in Stockholm, an area that's now is called Sofo. The store was dedicated to electronic music only and the clientage were mostly collectors and DJs.
So you started your career as a producer simultaneously with the launch of Stockholm LTD in 2002, was this a necessary step for you?
It started a bit earlier than that – around 90-91 my music making attempts become more serious, I still have some tapes from that time. My friends and I were looking for new sounds all the time, if anyone of us got our hands on a record or a tape we played it like there was no tomorrow. Honestly I think we even played things that weren't that brilliant too, and we did so until we had our own relationship with them. New music had such a high value at that time. We even made music out of rumours and things we read about, like when jungle became more popular, I don't think we'd even heard a proper jungle tune before we started to experiment with how we thought it sounded. A lot at that time was about playing around with sounds.
Towards the mid/end of the nineties I kind of lost myself for some years. I was studying music and music theory at Stockholm Music Conservatory, suddenly all music became so obvious to me. During those years I was obsessed with finding the perfect loop, I ate polyrhythms for breakfast and had trouble adding anything to my arrangements. I just wrote material that was pretty much the same loop from start to end, a loop that was moving via uninterrupted polyrhythms was kind of what I ended up with.
I ate polyrhythms for breakfast
Then while running Illegal I met Nils Danielsson for the first time. Nils was releasing under the name of Hardcell and was a wizard with simple and direct arrangements. Nils kind of forced me out of my loop bubble; he encouraged me to let go of things, to be able to see them for what they really are. He pointed out that what I was doing was brilliant and that I was just foolish keeping it all to myself and never finishing anything.
A lot of the things I learned about the creative process back then are still essential to me. Nothing you create, no matter how brilliant it is, will ever have any value to you or anyone else unless you let it go. You have to look at it from an angle where you can't affect it any further to be able to really see it. It was while working together with Nils and running the record store the ideas for the label came. I received so much great unreleased music from other artists, like the release by Nils which became the first release on the label.
Obviously, as the name suggests there are a majority of Swedish artists showcased on the label. Is this a policy for Stockholm LTD, or do you sign artists from other countries as well?
The label was indeed founded on the idea of presenting another angle on Stockholm and Swedish techno. But that has changed over the years and today we're releasing music from artists located all over.
Are you based in Berlin. If so, tell us why?
We've been in Berlin for 10 years now, this is where my kids were born and raised. We moved from Stockholm to try something different and to take a break from the life we had. It turned out to be a good move, Berlin is amazing in so many ways – great for work, but it's also great place to have a family. And there's so much culture happening 24/7. None of my other favourite bigger cities offer the same easygoing life as we have here with the same amount of things to explore just outside your door.
What do you look for as a label manager as far as putting out releases?
I probably practice the same ideas as when I write music, it all comes from the stomach and the way I feel when listening to the music all together. Sometimes it's just there when I receive the music from the artist, sometimes it takes more work and I have to look for that vibe I think will fit the release.
Besides your upcoming release, what would you say is the most important release on Stockholm LTD?
If I need to choose one I would say the first one as the label wouldn't exist without it, but they all mean as much to me.
Is Stockholm LTD managed by you alone?
Nowadays I have help with running the everyday things. The brilliant Finbar helping me to get my vision out by being the best label admin there is. And there's Nina who knows all about the formalities, contracts and such.
Let's talk about your upcoming release on Stockholm LTD, your album. When did you start to work on it?
I started to sketch on new material, potential album material in the end of 2014. I wanted to record this album in a traditional manner. Write a "demo", record it, mix it, master it all in separate sessions. So in February 2015 I scheduled a studio for recording in Stockholm. With me in the studio I had Peder Mannerfelt as recording assistant. I've been working with Peder quite a lot before but this was really the first time we worked on my music. I had 20 demo sketches with me into the studio, ranging from melodies to half-finished songs. The first day we went through the material and made notes on what I wanted us to work on, develop more and what to leave out. Then we pretty much followed these notes while recording. By the end of the week we had 14 of them recorded pretty much channel by channel. I think we managed to keep the original ideas pretty intact whilst adding the flavour of the gear we used.
For the arranging and mixing I used my studio here in Berlin and most of it was done in the early summer 2015. I chose to use my own studio as I wanted to have instant accesses as my schedule was pretty clustered due to gigs and travel. Some of the songs fell trough, didn't fit with the others or the format. I also added a few new ones. The title track for example was written while I was working on arranging the others. Because I really wanted it to have the flavour of what we did in Stockholm in February. I invited Peder and Malcom Pardon with whom Peder has the brilliant Roll the Dice project. They recorded additional overlays to the song. For both Isle of Real and Peder's "Controlling Body" we worked a lot on the flow of the album, the length of the songs and how it all sits together. That was probably what took the most time in the process, to find that balance. I've been cutting out a lot of material on the way. The track "The Marlton" for example; the original arrangements were almost 10 minutes long and the final version is just over 5 minutes 20. When the arranging and mixing was done I took a break from the material for a little over two months. During this time I also debated on who to use for the mastering.
In the end, after a well needed vacation, I decided to do it myself. Over the years I've done most of my own mastering as well for others. My own productions are often quite raw and not always that pleasing. That's something that I want to keep so I choose to buy some new outboard gear to give the master a special flavour instead of using someone else. The final version of Isle of Real was ready in November 2015, so the whole process took a bit over a year.
For me the record is curious, romantic, political and sad, all at once
As an artist, what's the difference between producing an EP versus an LP?
I always liked the EP format and never felt limited by it in any way. I'm able to tell my stories pretty well on my EPs. An album is something that I've been dreaming about since I was young. To make that record that carries something from start to end, where each component has meaning and needs to be there – not just a collection of tracks. The whole thing needs to breathe the same air. During my work with Isle of Real I figured out some quite essential things about myself and how I write, so I don't think it needs to be another 15 years before I write another one.
Tell us about the concept behind Isle of Real
It's all up to the listener to I would say, I don't want to put too much in between the listener and the music. For me the record is curious, romantic, political and sad, all at once.
When could we expect to grab the album, and where will it be available?
The release date is set to the end of may and it will be released on both vinyl and digital. There might be some exclusive bundle deals here and there so keep you're eyes open. I've already spotted some pre-orders on the web already, like this one at decks.de
What about upcoming gigs, where can fans hear you play next?
I have a pretty steady schedule the upcoming months and will probably travel with the album for the rest of the year. Some of the key dates is set for example Concrete in Paris and Berghain here in Berlin. Also returning to South America in June for 4 dates in Colombia.
Finally, where should record collectors go to dig for records in Stockholm?
Unfortunately I think that there aren't many options left, but definitely worth a mention is the lovely Fade records on Skanegatan (not far from where my store use to be) but also the legendary Snickars records close to Hornstull.

Drug war will change course in 2013
Andres Oppenheimer
When the recent Summit of the Americas in Colombia decided to commission a study on whether to decriminalize drugs, many thought that would be the end of it, and the whole thing would be quickly forgotten. Well, maybe not. For starters, it was the first time that such a large group of heads of state ventured into that once taboo area. And there are several other non-related factors that may contribute to put decriminalization in the front burner later this year, or in early 2013
Davos 2013: Soros calls for new strategy on drugs
George Soros has called for an end to the West's "war on drugs". Soros has thrown his weight behind a push by Guatemalan President Perez Molina, who recently declared that prohibition should be abandoned. Speaking at the World Economic Forum, Soros said that the narcotics trade threatened stability in many countries. President Molina said he would organise a meeting of Latin American leaders next June to discuss the issue. Costa Rica, Mexico and Colombia have opened talks with U.S. officials to prepare for the legalization of marijuana in some U.S. states, Costa Rican President Laura Chinchilla declared.
Victims of the Latin American war on drugs make the case for reform
Kristel Mucino
Latin American drug policies have made no dent in the drug trade; instead they have taken a tremendous toll on human lives. In 2009, the Washington Office on Latin America (WOLA) and the Transnational Institute (TNI) embarked on an ambitious project to document the real impact of Latin America's "war on drugs" and to show its human cost through the video testimonies of the victims themselves.
Summit of the Americas agree war on drugs a failure
Icaria Editorial
This weekend's Summit of the Americas did not produce a joint communiqué charting the future of the hemisphere, but the 31 leaders agreed on one thing: The U.S.-led war on drugs has been a dismal failure. The summit pledged to create a panel of experts through the Organization of American States to consider drug policy reforms, and new approaches to stem the violence and power of the drug cartels. In the words of Guatemalan President Otto Perez, a champion of drug liberalization, it is time to "stop being dumb witnesses to a global deceit" and consider treatment, harm reduction and decriminalization as viable alternatives.
Colombia Decriminalizes Cocaine and Marijuana
Ethan Nadelmann
Colombia's Constitutional Court approved the government's proposal to decriminalize the possession of small amounts of cocaine and marijuana for personal use. Anyone caught with less than 20 grams of marijuana or one gram of cocaine for personal use may receive physical or psychological treatment depending on their state of consumption, but may not be prosecuted or detained, the court ruled.
US Attorney General Holder rejects mass incarceration, 'one-size-fits all' security policies
Speaking at a meeting of the hemisphere's security ministers in Medellin, United States Attorney General Eric Holder touted the Obama administration's efforts to curb mandatory minimum sentences. He also backed a more heterodox approach to citizen security, a sign of a subtle shift in the U.S.-backed 'War on Drugs' in the region. Holder delivered his address at the Fourth Meeting of Ministers Responsible for Public Security in the Americas (MISPA IV), a biannual OAS-sponsored conference designed to promote policy coordination on the issue. (See also: Open letter to Ministers Responsible for Public Security in the Americas)
Weed: Decriminalise to stabilise
Jamaica's current volatile security environment and its economic malaise are reasons enough to seriously consider joining their Latin American counterparts to debate a raft of new policy options, not only in rhetoric, but also through public policy. Our prison conditions and local magistrate courts are bursting at their seams from inmate overcrowding and case overloads for marijuana possession that amount to miniscule consumption levels.
OAS chief calls for "long-awaited" debate on drug policy
Following the release of a major draft report on drug policy in the Americas, the secretary-general of the Organisation of American States (OAS) called for the beginning of debate aimed at reforming those policies throughout the region. Many of the region's leaders have expressed frustration with the limits and exorbitant costs of current policies and their desire for a more creative debate. But according to John Walsh, who participated in writing the OAS report, there is a lot of scepticism over whether the OAS will be up to the task, especially given U.S. domination of the issue.
The drug policy reform agenda in the Americas
Coletta Youngers
Latin America has emerged at the vanguard of efforts to promote debate on drug policy reform. For decades, Latin American governments largely followed the drug control policies and programs of Washington's so-called war on drugs. Yet two parallel trends have resulted in a dramatic change in course: the emergence of left-wing governments that have challenged Washington's historic patterns of unilateralism and interventionism and growing frustration with the failure of the prohibitionist drug control model put forward by the US government.

At summit, drug talk likely to be hot but hidden
As the hemisphere's leaders gather in Colombia this week for the VI Summit of the Americas, their on-camera discussions will be dominated by perennial convention topics: poverty, cooperation, the need for roads. But behind closed doors, they are expected to tackle a more contentious issue: the narcotics trade.

War on drugs: There has to be a better way
The most important story of the Summit of the Americas was the Latin American demand to open the debate on an alternative to the 'war on drugs'. The emergence of an increasingly independent and assertive Latin America insisting on a change of direction on drugs reflects an important shift in the terms of the relationship with the United States. Clamor for "democratization" of the debate and a search for new alternatives stems from the perception that Latin American societies pay a disproportionate price in lost lives, hijacked justice systems, abuses in overcrowded prisons, and displaced small farmers, because of the U.S.-led strategy that has prioritized stemming the supply of drugs over reducing its own demand.
What comes after the war on drugs
Dan Gardner
At the Summit of the Americas, Prime Minister Stephen Harper expressed doubt about the war on drugs. "I think what everybody believes and agrees with, and to be frank myself, is that the current approach is not working, but it is not clear what we should do." It's admirable for a politician to admit uncertainty. And rare. Especially for a politician who has never expressed anything less than unshakable conviction in the Reaganite nostrums of drug prohibition. But Harper had good reason to be a little shaken.
'This Debate Will No Longer be Suppressed'
Latin American leaders are increasingly speaking out against prohibition. And public opinion in America, especially when it comes to legalizing pot, is shifting very rapidly. U.S. Vice President Joe Biden has wrapped up a trip to Mexico and Honduras, where he held talks with Central American leaders on regional security efforts and drug trafficking. Biden's visit comes amid an emerging rift between the Obama administration and its Central American allies on the drug war. There is a growing belief among Central American leaders that decriminalization and legalization of some drugs could help reduce the power of drug cartels and reduce the bloodshed connected to the drug war.
Time for Obama to join the debate over the failed war on drugs
All wars end. Eventually. Even the war on drugs – resilient for so long – is starting to show signs of exhaustion. It is 42 years since President Nixon introduced the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970. The act set out to reduce or eliminate the production, supply and consumption of illegal drugs. A year later, after a report revealed a heroin epidemic among US servicemen in Vietnam, the Nixon administration coined the phrase "war on drugs".
Drugs: The Rebellion in Cartagena
The startling, unprogrammed, and rebellious discussion about drugs that took place among hemispheric leaders in April at a summit in Cartagena, Colombia, barely mentioned addiction, because it's too late for that. The discussion that for the first time in forty years challenged the United States' dominance on drug issues focused urgently instead on the ways that the financial health, political stability, and national security of virtually every country in the Americas has been undermined by the drug trade.
Latin American countries pursue alternatives to U.S. drug war
When President Obama arrives in Colombia for a hemispheric summit this weekend, he will hear Latin American leaders say that the U.S.-orchestrated war on drugs, which criminalizes drug use and employs military tactics to fight gangs, is failing and that broad changes need to be considered. Latin American leaders say they have not developed an alternative model to the approach favored by successive American administrations. But the Colombian government says a range of options — including decriminalizing possession of drugs, legalizing marijuana use and regulating markets — will be debated at the Summit of the Americas in Cartagena.
OAS chief urges new approach to failed 'war on drugs'
With the Organization of American States due to hold a special general assembly in Guatemala on illicit drugs in less than a week, OAS Secretary General José Miguel Insulza insisted there now exists "regional consensus" regarding drug use and trafficking throughout the hemisphere. Insulza said the 35 OAS member nations no longer see the drug problem as a public safety matter but rather as a public health issue. Authorities also want alternatives to jailing drug addicts, he said.
Obama and the failed war on drugs
Bernd Debusmann
Long before he was in a position to change his country's policies, Barack Obama had firm views on a complex problem: "The war on drugs has been an utter failure. We need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws. We need to rethink how we're operating the drug war." That was in January 2004. Forward to April 2012 and a summit of Latin American leaders, several of whom have become vocal critics of the U.S.-driven war on drugs, in the Colombian city of Cartagena. More than three years into his presidency, Obama made clear that he is not in favor of legalizing drugs or of ending policies that treat drug users as criminals.
'War on drugs' has failed, say Latin American leaders
A historic meeting of Latin America's leaders, to be attended by Barack Obama, will hear serving heads of state admit that the war on drugs has been a failure and that alternatives to prohibition must now be found. The Summit of the Americas, to be held in Cartagena, Colombia is being seen by foreign policy experts as a watershed moment in the redrafting of global drugs policy in favour of a more nuanced and liberalised approach. Otto Pérez Molina, the president of Guatemala, is pushing his fellow Latin American leaders to use the summit to endorse a new regional security plan that would see an end to prohibition.


This was a bit of an odd bar on our Amsterdam trip, not because it is an odd place when considered objectively, but compared to the other spots on our tour through town it was very normal. Café Zilt has a warm welcoming feel (very important at 3am) with friendly patrons and a very happy bartender.
We stumbled in after a night of drinks and Flugel shots (a neon orange liquid that tastes like cough syrup – and not the good stuff). I honestly couldn't tell you what we had to drink but I know I chatted to a number of people there who were all happy (at least I hope they were) to talk to me. I'm also pretty sure I was being eyed up by a cougar but the boys hustled me out of there before she pounced.
A snapshot of the crowd – a bit older than we expected but very friendly!
The average age was quite a bit older than we were (think late 30s/early 40s) so it's more a place for a chill drink and a chat than shots and dancing. However, for a look at the quieter side of the 'Dam, this was perfect.

Offroad Original Portion has a traditional tobacco flavor with hints of lemon and bergamot. This snus has a regular sized pouch.
Do you enjoy frugality as much as snus? If so, V2 Tobacco's Offroad Original portion snus should be at the top of your list. But what is wrong with being cheap? I argue nothing is. This may not be the snus you turn to when sitting in front of your fire place and reading the unabridged version of Les Misérables, and you certainly won't impress a Swede (especially because it is Danish), but I wholeheartedly argue this snus should not be overlooked. This snus may not shine, but it does not shrivel. Instead it delivers a middle of the road, yet admirable, snus experience at a very reasonable price.
This snus has a strong, sweet, citrus and bergamot flavor. To some, it will be overpowering - and it is strong - however I think this flavor compliments the light tobacco undertone of the snus nicely. It is not a subtle or complex flavor, and it will surly disappoint the more refined and discriminating. Admittedly, I would not serve this snus to anyone I wanted to impress. You might want to be careful what you drink while using it, too. Still, overall the taste is agreeable and entirely appropriate as a go-to snus to get you through the day.
Offroad Original has an average, and I would say appropriate, nicotine content. You can feel it carefully creep in during the first two minutes, stay for about twenty minutes, and then gently wash out. Those who need a nicotine rush will want to upgrade to Offroad's bigger brother, the Thunder line of snuses, however I think the nicotine is well balanced in this snus and makes for a rather delightful experience. It might not wake you up in the morning, yet I can say that without a doubt that it gets the job done and doesn't leave the user disappointed.
There is no getting around the fact that this is a mediocre snus. While I enjoy this snus, I would be lying if I said it was great. It's not. But frankly, it also isn't offensive. Furthermore, given its typically price, and the fact that it is almost always on sale, I argue it punches well above its weight and is a better option than quite a few more expensive snuses that don't measure up to the cash you are throwing down.
Manufactured by V2 Tobacco, Offroad Original portion snus is classified as a Regular type portion since it goes thru an additional step in the manufacturing process that adds a bit more moisture to the snus to aid in the flavors coming together and helps the taste come out faster when it's in your lip. V2 uses the same portion material that they use in all their snus and is comfortable in the lip for over an hour and a half. Each can of Offroad Original has 24, one ounce portions and there is 8 mg of Nicotine in each. Offroad Original's can is made of black plastic with the Offroad logo embossed in the lid with a plasticized label that seals the bottom and lid well until you are ready to use. Unfortunately, Offroad Original's can does not have a used portion compartment but, you all want to know what Offroad Original tastes like so, let's take a look! V2 wanted Offroad original to have a flavor that would be unique in the Swedish snus world and we believe they achieved that goal. Flavors of tobacco and citrus take the main stage with Offroad Original with a hint of salt. The unique element in Original, as with all the Offroad flavors, is the fact that the flavors are strong. By strong we mean that you get the flavors immediately after putting the portion in and lasts quite a long time! We've had a portion of Offroad Original flavor last for more than two hours before the flavor began to diminish! So, if you're looking for a Swedish snus that has a strong tobacco taste with a touch of sweetness and lasts a long time, Offroad Original portion snus is the one but, we'll let you decide. We'd also like to hear what you think of Offroad Original so be sure to leave a review! We'll be waiting to read it.

General How We Increased Facebook Fans by 43% in 23 Days
How We Increased Facebook Fans by 43% in 23 Days
By WebFX Team
The WebFX team is made up of more than 450 subject matter experts in digital marketing, SEO, web design and web development, social media, and more. Together, they've helped WebFX's clients earn more than $3 billion in revenue from the web — and that's just in the past five years.
Facebook's platform has allowed thousands of companies to get a piece of the "social media" pie where a Facebook fan is said to be worth $8 and the value of having a fan share your company's content on Facebook is worth $14. A "fan goal" looms over any business present on Facebook. Having more fans not only improves your company's "social status," it increases the interactions on your Page and the chance of those fans sharing your content. Hands down, the most common question we get is "How do we increase our Facebook fans?" There are a million and a half ways to do this, but we've come up with a few specific methods that generate lots of quality fans without breaking the bank.
Below are a few specific examples from one of the Facebook pages that we manage. However, there is only so much that businesses can do to drive fan numbers on Facebook. The usual Facebook Ad campaigns, although important for growing Facebook awareness, may sometimes seem stale.
Companies and marketers across the globe struggle to gain a solid ROI from Facebook Ads. According to Webtrends, an average Facebook ad click is now up to $1.07. That is $1.07 per fan, which Mashable.com reports, was an increase of 40% for 2011.
Non-Profit Outreach
We recently launched a Facebook initiative where every new fan for our client's Facebook Page turns into a donated $.10 to a national non-profit organization. We chose an organization that had a great following, a nationally recognized name and the same values as our client's company – and voila! The results have been outstanding!
Before the promotion launched, the Page had 4,301 fans. During the first 22 days of the initiative, the page has gained 1,720 new fans. We are now at 6,021 and growing at a rate of almost 700 fans per week.
Let's say, based on the current rate, we gain 25,000 fans in six months. The organization will receive a check for $2,500 and, at only $0.10 cents per fan, our client will have a fan base of people who share their values and who will build an active online community with each other. Everybody wins!
Acquiring fans for $0.10 is a lot more cost effective than Facebook Ads. This non-profit outreach lessens the reliance on ads and allows Page managers to utilize the social channel itself to gain fans.
Effective Facebook Ads
Admittedly, a Facebook ad campaign is running for this Page as well. While Facebook Ads might not be the most cost effective promotion tactic, you can't just ignore them either!
Currently, one ad is running to complement the promotion and it has contributed 661 fans in the 23 days. The most effective ads include the Like button directly on the ad, which allows users to like your Page without stopping what they are doing on Facebook. Effective ads also include a call to action, most commonly including a line that states "Like this Page" or "Like us on Facebook" to encourage users to click the Like button.
Social calls-to-action
A very important part of the campaign's landing page is the ability for users to share the idea on their own Facebook wall to let their friends know about this easy way to raise money for a cause.
A number of people have shared the page with friends and, in turn, increased our client's social reach. Similarly, there is an option on the landing page to "Tell your friends" which opens a window showing all of a user's Facebook friends which sends a private message for them to like the Page on a more individual basis. Nothing is more powerful in social media than recommendations and suggestions by people you trust.
Having direct and clear social calls-to-action on the page provides a simple way for users to get involved and engage in a cause that they are passionate about. Regardless of industry, there are passionate people willing to share your brand's message online. You just need to find a way to capture and engage with that passion through your social media campaign.
A win-win!
The crux of this promotion tactic is simple: like the Facebook page and the company will donate $.10 per new fan to a related non-profit organization.
It has worked to increase fans in a cost effective way while also promoting the brand to a new audience of people. Non-profit promotion through social media leverages passion and naturally encourages users to share with their friends. It also helps build a community of like-minded and caring people that will become brand advocates and fuel a successful social media campaign for a long time.

Rising Rage Against DNC/RNC Deeds Could Gut Both and Launch a National Independent Party
Barbara G. Ellis,
Amid the gnashing teeth of both Democratic and Republican leaders over two interloping presidential candidates threatening their usual plans for an uncontested set of nomination conventions, the possibility exists that a furious vox populi soon may do the guillotine's work on both parties' existence. "Enough is enough" is their battle cry, and anindependent third party may result. After all, some 42 percent of registrations are "independent," and 93,000,000 eligible voters didn't vote in the 2012 presidential election.
Disgust with the two-party system, unappealing candidates and voting barriers (IDs, work conflicts, registration purges, long poll waits, etc.) are said to be the reason for the decrease in turnout. And the current urging by pundits for the dissatisfied of both party registrants to launch a takeover is bootless, as a lot of us have discovered over the years. A corrupt culture protecting the 1%,we learned with the 2004 Howard Dean campaign, is not about to step aside for determined "change agents," no matter how critical we consider the issues that a candidate like Bernie Sanders has raised. Nor, equally, how debased the positions of Donald Trump are considered.
A far more successful strategy, as Geoff Gilbert suggested, is "the foundation of a new political party which would bring a progressive voice back into American politics at every level and, at the same time, help unify 'our currently fragmented movement cultures.'" The energy, money, imagination and dedication of millennials certainly provides an organizational powerhouse in every state.
For years, the Democratic and Republican National Committees (DNC and RNC) have ignored the will of the 99% from both constituencies. Instead, they have handpicked and thrust despised candidates upon us, just as the old smoke-filled backroom boys used to do. Voters could just "lump it." A March 2016 poll reported the leading candidates' unfavorability — with Hillary Clinton at 52 percent and Donald Trump at 57 percent.
Consider, too, the DNC's use of 700 unelected "superdelegates" of past and present state officials, and even lobbyists to pad Clinton's required 2,383 votes to win the nomination. (Republicans need 1,237). Begun by the DNC in 1968 to blackball candidates they did not like or could not control, the Democratic Party's superdelegate tactic was tellingly evoked when DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz unwittingly blurted the truth to CNN in February: "Unpledged [super]delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists…. And so we separate out those unpledged delegates to make sure that there isn't competition between them."
So on one hand, the frantic Republican cabal currently seems to be relying on a brokered convention to destroy its constituents' preferred nominee, billionaire realtor/television star Donald Trump. On the other hand, the frightened corporate-run Democrats have stooped to a new low of underhanded tricks to crush the presidential chances of the hugely popular Sen. Bernie Sanders, who was fast-closing on Clinton.
The DNC has only itself to blame by selecting Clinton as the deserving party candidate because of her loyalty, legacy and lucrative kickbacks from their joint fund-raising arrangement ($33,000,000 by mid-April). No other candidate need apply. If the DNC sensed the have-nots' angry mood about eight more years of the status quo, they blew it off. Not Sanders. He registered as a Democrat, filed for the presidency last year and immediately began drawing thousands at rallies around the country with his call for a political revolution against this oligarchy.
Once he began winning primaries and caucuses, the DNC panicked and has worked overtime to destroy his candidacy by scheduling off-hour TV debates, blocking access to voter data, and pressuring Sanders supporters to "tone down" their complaints about Clinton's Wall Street panderings. Financial and political retaliation by the DNC was a given for congressional superdelegates failing to endorse or vote for Hillary at the national convention.
All this, despite key polls indicating that Sanders is currently the only candidate who can trounce Trump by eye-popping percentages.
In the RNC camp, former aide to Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush Bruce Bartlett, goes further and predicts his party's demise over Trump's success as a positive step: "… anything that speeds up its demise is to the good because then it can reinvent itself and return as something healthy." He has a point.
GOP leaders' lack of judgment led to their tapping Florida's former Gov. Jeb Bush because of name-recognition, his wealth, and, most importantly, obedience to party leaders. Alas, they were outmaneuvered by nearly a dozen ambitious zealots — and Jeb's poor showing in the primaries — that brought down public and media ridicule on theparty. Bush's bumbling performances and Trump's unbelievable spike in polls in the spring primaries forced Bush to remove himself from the GOP nomination. Trump may be rude and crude and have all the outrageous views of Archie Bunker, but he is self-funded, a more famous TV performer than former president Ronald Reagan and seemingly immune to RNC sabotage. But if he should become president, he'd undoubtedly become, like Reagan,somebody's lapdog. His latest tax plan gives breaks to the 1% and has decided as the Republicans' presumptive presidential candidate to take a less confrontational approach during the general election campaign.
Trump will easily skewer Clinton on her record as a senator and secretary of state, to say nothing of continued irresponsible support of endless wars around the globeand her support of Israel. He'll hasten to support those wars are hot buttonsthe third rail for most families. He recently said:
Frankly, if Hillary Clinton were a man, I don't think she'd get 5 percent of the vote. The only thing she's got going is the women's card. And the beautiful thing is, women don't like her.
Worse for the DNC, 52 percent of voters by March viewed Clinton "unfavorably," according to a CBS/New York Times poll. And while Sanders has gamely uttered the usual declaration of support if he were a losing candidate, 33 percent of his supporters also indicated in March that they were far more likely to do a write-in campaign for Sanders.
Above all this sturm und drang is that the RNC/DNC's myopia or disdain for Americans' long-simmering wrath about the nation's rickety domestic condition parallels Marie-Antoinette's view of her starving countrymen ("let them eat cake") just before the French revolution.
This was not the first time in US history when voter outrage over the Jacksonian Democrats' high-handed actions at home and abroad triggered a new and powerful political party: the Whigs. Founded in 1834, it quickly became the majority in Congress, with such luminaries as Henry Clay, Daniel Webster and Horace Greeley. Six years later, it elected the first of three presidents (John Tyler, Zachary Taylor, Millard Fillmore) before expiring on the altar of abolition.
However, today's two major parties have controlled the political scene since the Civil War. Up to now, it has seemed impossible for a third party — short of a real revolution — to shoehorn its way onto the ballot, given the artful roadblocks set by party leaders. Witness Teddy Roosevelt's Bull Moose party. Or Eugene Debs' Socialist party.
Yet during the Great Depression, one state's third party — Minnesota's Farmer-Labor group — became so powerful that it seized and retained for decades governorships, congressional delegations and control of the legislature. By 1944, desperate Democrats sent Minneapolis Mayor Hubert Humphrey to beg for space under its wide tent, which eventually became the Democratic-Farmer-Labor party. National party leaders fretted that other states might do the same and ultimately strip them of power and prestige to control presidents, Congress, the Supreme Court and state legislatures.
It became a possibility in 1992 with the rise of Texas billionaire Ross Perot's Independent party to respond to the distressed. A nightmare for the RNC/DNC, he was self-funded with millions. Perot stood for "law and order," but was unafraid to step firmly on electability's "third rails." An outspoken, fiscal Scrooge, he would have slashed the Pentagon's bloated secret budgets. He opposed NAFTA and religious fundamentalism, and favored women's right to choose abortion.
In the 1992 presidential election, more than 19,000,000 voters ignored taunts Perot was a dangerous and ignorant spoiler. They gave him a historic 18.9 percent portion of the popular vote — a significant slice into results for Democrat Bill Clinton (43 percent) and incumbent president, Republican George H.W. Bush (37 percent). As The New York Times editorially warned the two-party establishment about his run:
Mr. Perot also demonstrated that voters yearned for information on candidates without having to sift it through the traditional filter of the news media. His use of talk shows and the consistently high ratings of his 30-minute and hour-long commercials indicated a voter preference for direct communication from the candidate, for substance over attacks, or mawkish advertisements….
Some experts say that it will be virtually impossible for a candidate to duplicate Mr. Perot's effort unless he has a personal fortune and finds the country once again in such a foul mood. But if the Republican and Democratic parties conclude that they can ignore the lessons of the Ross Perot phenomenon, they will do so at their peril.
Yet complacent DNC/RNC leaders quickly brushed off that close call as an .aberration and returned to focusing on corporate needs, war and political payoffs. They ignored similar signs of growing public unrest over their unresponsiveness to domestic priorities. In Oregon, it has been signaled by the proliferation of a half-dozen third parties.That may have provided the escape hatch for thousands of disgusted voters to leave the two major parties to register elsewhere: Libertarian, Pacific Green, Progressive, Constitution, Working Families, Democratic Socialist.
The latest entrant in 2007 was the Independent Party, started as a progressive haven for all dissidents. The Partytoday has drawn thousands into its fold, especially today with its five core planks:
Reducing special interest influence over our legislative process.
Increasing transparency in government, particularly with how Oregon taxesare spent.
Protecting Oregon consumers, particularly with respect to banks, insurancecompanies and private utilities.
Applying a sensible approach to job creation and economic development.
Advancing the rights of independent and non-affiliated voters.
Initial registration was 475 voters. A year later, it shot up to 16,009, mostly Republican/Democratic defectors and those seemingly unaware it was an official party but shunning the alternatives. Last August, with more than 109,000 registrants, it became the state's third major party and eligible to run candidates in the state-funded primary election. However, unlike the two other parties' closed primaries, the Independent party is open and will tap into the vast pool of 524,514 non-affiliated voters.
That stunned the Democrats and Republicans watching the rise of this upstart partyand the steady drop in their own registrations. They also recognized it would get far worse (for them) with Oregon's "motor-voter registration law" becoming effective in January 2016.That statute automatically registers those either getting or renewing drivers' licenses. Party officials vainly complained in a 2015 legislative hearing that the Independents' thousands were confused registrants who didn't know an Independent party existed and just wanted to be, well, independent voters.
Dan Meek, the co-chair of the Independent Party of Oregon (IPO), explained pertinent state law intricacies if Sanders' write-ins on the Independent ballot would count in the primary:
Since there is no presidential candidate printed on the IPO ballot, the write-ins must be both counted and tallied … and those votes are recorded. So there will be results reported. IPO will take into account the winner in deciding whom to nominate to the November ballot. The secretary of state says Oregon law does not allow IPO to nominate anyone who ran in any Oregon major party primary for president who is not subsequently the national party nominee. In other words, if Bernie wins the IPO primary, [the party] still cannot nominate him unless he wins the national Dem nomination. IPO could decide to cross-nominate Hillary or Trump, regardless of the outcome of the … primary.
The Sanders/Trump candidacies also have forced thousands of Oregon's non-Democrats to register as Democrats because of the state's closed primaries. It has given that party a phony majority of the state's electorate (65 percent) to vote for Sandersin the May 17 primary election.
Unfortunately for both parties, these "temporary Democrats" then will vanish and many may register for theIndependent Party. They may include a significant portion of Oregon's 527,282 non-affiliated voters, and a category called "Other," which has 19,340 registrants, as well as hundreds of fed-up Democrats and Republicans.
The Independent Party's spectacular success could furnish the model for start-ups of other third parties in several states, considering the monumental frustration and fury of the United States' desperate 99% with the present political system.
For now, Sanders has provided independent-minded and disgruntled voters with an avenue to a national IndependentParty from the hide-bound, moribund, elitist two-party system which serves only the 1%, the banks, the Pentagon and its defense vendors.
Because that leadership will never change culture, priorities or actions, a fed-up electorate flocking to a nationalIndependent Party by the millions could do it for them. After all, the 99% has far more votes than the 1%, and we are showing in this election season that we are indeed ready for a political revolution.

GOP Senatorial Candidate Roy Moore, reportedly abused underage girls in the past.
Perhaps from insecurity about the size of his gun?
Washington Post reported today that the ultraconservative white nationalist "Christian" candidate abused young girls in the past. GOP of course, morally outraged.
An even greater crime is that being perpetrated by Republican climate deniers on all young people, of both sexes, and all future generations of human beings, as well as those creatures we share this precious planetary garden with.
Media Matters has found that, from the time Moore announced his candidacy on April 26 to Oct. 31, the major broadcast evening news shows, prime-time cable news programs and national newspapers have all neglected to report on Moore's views on climate change, one of the most significant issues he would face if elected to the U.S. Senate. Over the same period, four of the top five largest-circulation newspapers in Alabama also failed to report on Moore and climate change.
"Not only is there no constitutional authority for Congress to regulate carbon emissions, but the premise of 'global warming' and 'climate change' upon which such environmental theories are based does not have the support of a scientific consensus.
And in December 2016, as Kaufman reported, 12 former Southern Baptist Convention presidents joined otherevangelical leaders in signing a letter in support of Scott Pruitt's nomination to head the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, defending Pruitt's call for "a continuing debate" on climate science.
Please call (202) 224-2447 or write to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee http://www.dscc.org and ask them to put money into Doug Jones in Alabama. Let's change this into a win for the planet!
If anyone wants to read the gory details from the WashPost. Another sicko RWNJ that should not be elected to office. Wake up, Alabama!

Friday, May 3rd
May 3, 2019 by martin colyer 4 Comments
It was a week when Greta Thunwald gave us all a masterclass in thinking and Beyoncé gave us Homecoming – all sound and fury, but at least signifying something, although it struck me as, to quote Stanley Unwin, "all jumbly in the moto…" So this week, it seems, there are weird cross-currents at work…
{ONE} HOME/HEART INTERFACE
For all its visual flash (it cuts two performances over the Coachella weekend, so in some shots, everyone's dressed in pink, in others, yellow, which really screws with you until you figure it out) the songs in Homecoming actually get flattened out in the performance, and it feels thin vocally and melodically over the two-plus hours. The rehearsal footage is impressive for showing the scale of a production like this, but the inspirational quotes and voiceover get a little strained. There's some astonishing dancing, especially from the sinewy men, and great propulsion from the horns and drums, but the songs about Jay-Z (with lines like "Becky with the good hair") and hits like "Single Ladies" don't quite feel of a piece with the celebration of black history happening around them.
{TWO} CONDUCTING UP A STORM
Beyoncé uses a huge marching band of drums and horns as tribute to the homecoming culture of America's black colleges and universities. At the same time, Ethan Iverson (via Richard Williams) pointed us towards The Jenkins Orphanage Band – "Astounding audio and video of Jenkins Orphanage Band in 1928. (That drumming!) Later on in the clip, there is some great dancing. Jabbo Smith, Trummy Young, Cat Anderson and others came out of the Jenkins Orphanage Band." At 1:24 the bass drum player uses his mallets for a jape. Fabulous. You almost expect Buster Keaton to slide along the street in front of them and turn to face the camera.
As the notes on YouTube by scgary66 say, "The Orphanage Band comprised of young African-Americans in Charleston, South Carolina and was a notable influence in American jazz; it had also been the first black instrumental group formed in the state (1895). By the 1920s, the group was so large as to allow five separate bands to tour the eastern US, and they appeared at the 1927 New York premiere of the play Porgy. They are seen here in a Charleston sidewalk performance." What Richard calls the "two-conductor system" is some kind of genius – two duelling/dancing conductors, one for the rhythm, one for the horns, and I want to know why no-one's tried this since…
{THREE} RADIO, RADIO
Radio 4 had a tremendous (judging by the first hour) three-part Dusty doc, Definitively Dusty with excellent Dusty audio interviews through the years, and featuring most of her important collaborators. It reminded me that one of the first singles that I ever bought was The Springfields "Island of Dreams", a song that always links in my mind with Dylan's "Standing In The Doorway" from Time Out of Mind, mostly for the lyrics, but also for parts of the rather downbeat, blue melody. Also on R4, I caught the end of a very strange programme titled The Spider Orchestra. "Struck by the beauty of spider webs, Tomas Saraceno made them into sculptures and discovered that when spiders move, the silken strands make tiny sounds, which he turns into music." Rather wonderful. Listen to hear the vagaries of live improv with an arachnid.
{FOUR} BOOKS OF THE WEEK
Found in an extremely old-school bookshop in Suffolk, these gems. I loved Oak Publications because they were typeset on electric typewriters and pasted up in a very rigid way. This one is by Tony "Little Sun" Glover of Koerner, Ray & Glover fame, and is dedicated to Kenneth Patchen and Sonny Boy Williamson II, "the two greatest poets of our times." Sonny Boy I knew, but Patchen not. He was a poet and pacifist and an influence on the Beats (Patchen's biographer wrote that he "developed in his fabulous fables, love poems, and picture poems, a deep yet modern mythology that conveys a sense of compassionate wonder amidst the world's violence.") In his own words, "I speak for a generation born in one war and doomed to die in another."
On the other hand, Eddie Rogers' story of Denmark Street is less poetry, more publishing. Tin Pan Alley Tomorrow (the Fifteenth Chorus as the book archly titles its chapters) is a cracker.
{FIVE} BEWARE THE HUMAN-MACHINE HIVEMIND…
Popbitch flagged up the work of Botnik Studios, who are "mashing up all the best text in history to create the ultimate album, The Songularity. We're remixing Scottish folk ballads, Amazon reviews, Carrie Underwood, The Elements Of Style and more. Our predictive text computer program suggests lyrics in the style of these influences. We set the results to original music."
Their ultimate Country song, "You Can't Take my Door" features the excellent chorus, "Look at yourself / and a hand / and a shelf / in the wind…" There's "Negatively 4th Street", which combines Dylan lyrics with negative reviews of restaurants on 4th Street in Manhattan. And "Bored With This Desire To Get Ripped", which is Morrissey's lyrics algorithmically combined with Amazon customer reviews of the P90X home workout DVD.
It reminded me of a song service in Nashville in the late 70s, where you could send your lyrics off and have them recorded by session musicians. Famously, a guitarist named John Trubee sent a rambling piece of obscenity featuring Stevie Wonder, which he assumed would prompt a letter back saying that his submission didn't meet their standards, and that he was a sick man, but instead received this: "Dear John, We have just received your lyrics and think they are very worthy of being recorded with the full Nashville Sound Production. I am enclosing a contract of acceptance. Please sign and return along with $79.95 to cover the cost for the song…" So he did, and that's how "Peace & Love (Blind Man's Penis)" came to be. "Over the lamest, most minimal country track was some country hack singing the lyrics I wrote [albeit with references to Stevie nixed]. I was stunned", Trubee writes. Read the whole story here.

Beto O'Rourke might have an oil money problem
By Annelise McGough on Dec 19, 2018
Beto O'Rourke, millennials' favorite wannabe-senator-maybe-president, has landed himself in the burn book. The Texas Democratic representative has been taken off the list of politicians who signed a "No Fossil Fuel Money" pledge, according to a new report by Sludge.
Taking the pledge, led by Oil Change USA, means politicians will not knowingly take contributions of over $200 from "the PACs, executives, or front groups of fossil fuel companies — companies whose primary business is the extraction, processing, distribution, or sale of oil, gas, or coal."
O'Rourke received $430,000 from individuals working in the oil and gas industry, 75 percent of which he received in the form of a donation over $200. There were 29 large donations from fossil fuel executives, according to Sludge reporter Alex Kotch, a strict no-no if you're sitting pretty on that list. O'Rourke accepted no money from any PAC throughout the entirety of his campaign.
"While we are pleased he hasn't taken fossil fuel PAC money, he needs to go further in order to be in compliance with the full No Fossil Fuel Money Pledge," David Turnbull, strategic communications director at Oil Change USA, told Sludge. Other millennial favorites still on the list include Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Bernie Sanders.
In the 2018 Texas midterms, O'Rourke faced incumbent Senator Ted Cruz, who received $505,000 in donations from the oil and gas industry. No surprise, Cruz didn't signed the pledge.
O'Rourke has the high, high score of 95 percent from The League of Conservation Voters, but has a couple less-than-green votes on fossil fuels. In 2015, he voted against the oil export ban and in 2016, he voted against an amendment which would prohibit the use of funds for offshore drilling research in the Gulf of Mexico. O'Rourke also failed to mention climate change in the first high-profile debate between him and Cruz in September.
The 2020 rumor mill is churning despite O'Rourke's claims that he isn't interested. It'd probably be easier for O'Rourke to avoid oil-stained contributions during a presidential bid versus a Senate run in the major oil state. If he does run, the O'Rourke campaign may want to reread the fine print of the pledge and do their best to get back on the nice list.
2 Trump officials publish fake science, get their old jobs back


The appointment of an Italian executive to Acer's presidency is a symbol of the Taiwanese firm's increasingly global view.
Taiwanese PC maker Acer on Wednesday laid out its new executive structure, appointing a European executive as president as it prepares for the retirement of founder Stan Shih.
The company said that Gianfranco Lanci, who came to Acer in 1997 when the company acquired the notebook division of Texas Instruments, will become president Jan. 1. Current president JT Wang will become CEO and chairman upon the retirement of Shih at the end of the year. Shih, one of the pioneers of Taiwan's IT industry and Asian contract manufacturing, had said earlier that he would retire by the end of the year.
The executive changes come amid a growth spurt for Acer. In the 1990s, the company, which traditionally served as a contract manufacturer for IBM and others, attempted to become a worldwide PC brand. The effort sputtered and Acer retreated.
In the past year, however, Acer has reinvigorated its efforts to sell PCs under its own brand name, with greater success. In the second quarter, Acer became the fifth-largest PC maker worldwide and grew shipments by 30 percent, more than any other large PC maker.
Additionally, in the market that includes Africa, Europe and the Middle East, Acer surpassed Hewlett-Packard to become the top provider of notebooks in the region during the second quarter. Lanci has been running Acer's European and North American divisions.
"The U.S. is a difficult market for them (Acer), because they don't have the cachet they once had, but in Europe, they have found a nice match of aggressive pricing and promotions in the channels that is moving boxes," said Loren Loverde, an analyst at IDC, in July.
Two subsidiaries spun out of the Acer conglomerate in the early part of the decade, AU Optoelectronics and BenQ, are also experiencing growth.
Lanci's appointment can be seen as a symbol of Acer's increasingly global view. The company's high-level executives to date have come from Taiwan, and the company, like several large Asian conglomerates, works with the national government on technology initiatives.
As other PC makers are doing, Acer is also trying to expand into China. In a CNET News.com visit to Acer offices in 1999, world maps identified the Chinese mainland as "The Republic of China," the official name of Taiwan.

Chapter 1 | The Polio Crusade | American Experience | PBS
The story of the polio crusade pays tribute to a time when Americans banded together to conquer a terrible disease. The medical breakthrough saved countless lives and had a pervasive impact on American philanthropy that continues to be felt today.
Learn more about THE POLIO CRUSADE, including where to watch the documentary: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/americanexperience/films/polio/
In the summer of 1950 fear gripped the residents of Wytheville, Virginia. Movie theaters shut down, baseball games were canceled and panicky parents kept their children indoors — anything to keep them safe from an invisible invader. Outsiders sped through town with their windows rolled up and bandanas covering their faces. The ones who couldn't escape the perpetrator were left paralyzed, and some died in the wake of the devastating and contagious virus. Polio had struck in Wytheville. The town was in the midst of a full-blown epidemic. That year alone, more than 33,000 Americans fell victim — half of them under the age of ten.
AMERICAN EXPERIENCE presents The Polio Crusade, a one-hour documentary from filmmaker Sarah Colt (Geronimo, RFK) that interweaves the personal accounts of polio survivors with the story of an ardent crusader who tirelessly fought on their behalf while scientists raced to eradicate this dreaded disease. Based in part on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Polio: An American Story by David Oshinsky, The Polio Crusade features interviews with historians, scientists, polio survivors, and the only surviving scientist from the core research team that developed the Salk vaccine, Julius Youngner.
