First Native American Studies graduate certificate online
Gale Courey Toensing
First Native American Studies graduate certificate online.
BOZEMAN, Mont. – Montana State University is offering what is believed to be the first online Native American Studies graduate certificate program – an initial step toward the creation of a full Master of Arts in Native American Studies degree online.
"We believe that there are students across the globe interested in graduate courses in Native American studies and this innovative offering fills that need," said Walter Fleming, head of the MSU Department of Native American Studies and an enrolled member of the Kickapoo Tribe in Kansas.
The program begins in January. Initial offerings for the spring 2010 semester include "Federal Indian Law and Policy" – a required course for both the undergraduate and graduate degrees in Native American Studies – and "Native America: Dispelling the Myths." Future courses will include an American Indian art survey course.
Like on-campus courses, the online courses comprise units and readings that support the subject matter. There will be streamed lectures students will be able to access at any time, and discussions will take place on discussion boards and postings. Students will have individual contact with the instructors through e-mail.
This grouping of tipis is located on the site of the future Native American Student Center at Montana State University. The department has just started fundraising for the project and welcomes all contributions.
The program is not time-constrained, Fleming said. That means students won't have to convene at a specific time, but can access the program any time, from anywhere.
MSU's Native American Studies program dates back to 1974 and was one of the first undergraduate programs in the country. The university has offered an on-campus graduate degree in Native American Studies since 2000.
The new online graduate certificate program has been in the planning phase for a number of years, Fleming said.
"It had always been our interest to try to reach particularly tribal college faculty who might be able to send their communities to come and get a master's degree in Native American Studies and some of the tribal colleges were encouraging us to do so, because they have to undergo certification from their certifying bodies and this is one way to address that, but it's also a first step toward an actual online master's program."
The certificate program is 12 credits and the master's program will be 30 or 31 credits. Fleming estimates it will take around five years to fully develop the online master's program.
Meanwhile, the hope is that the graduate certificate program, among other things, will help forward the state's Indian Education for All law, which mandates the teaching of Native American history, culture and contemporary issues to K-12 students. While the education is required, there are no state-provided curricula. The certificate program will fill that gap by providing content and information for teachers who are developing their programs.
"The certificate program is not designed to do that, but we're hoping teachers will find it so," Fleming said. "One of the difficulties that we have in Montana is that Native American Studies is not a teaching area. It's within a broad-based social studies endorsement so there's no way for really certifying school teachers to be proficient in Native American Studies. We're a little bit ahead of that by offering these courses and we're hoping the State Board of Education will create a teaching certificate. That would be our goal – to have teachers, just as they do with chemistry, biology or math, have a curriculum content knowledge for the instruction of their curricula."
The online program is also designed to tap into the vast interest in American Indian culture and history that is evident overseas in Europe and other parts of the world.
"We hope that it will attract an international following," Fleming said.
MSU has more than 375 Native students – about 3.5 percent of the student body. About half the students in Native American Studies are Natives and half are non-Natives. More than half of the faculty in the program is Native.
Native students get "the usual kind of financial aid" from their nations, Fleming said, and the state has a tuition fee waiver based on income guidelines. The university also has a program called the Native Homelands Scholarship that provides needs-based tuition waivers for students whose tribal nations' historic homelands were in Montana prior to European contact.
As for MSU's certificate program being the first online, "You always hesitate to say anything like that because there's going to be that lonely little college up in who-knows-where say, 'We've been doing that for 10 years,' but we researched it and found there are programs that have some specifics, such as a law program, but we believe this is the first general program that's online and will have a certificate," Fleming said.
The program has a rolling application, which means students can enroll at any time.
The MSU Department of Native American Studies recently received accreditation from the World Indigenous Nations Higher Education Consortium, the first mainstream non-indigenous controlled institution in the world to receive the designation.

Republicans have been increasingly supporting radical positions on eliminating abortion to gain support across the nation, but this shouldn't be an issue of red vs. blue—this is an issue of restricting access to health care for millions.
Thank you, President Biden... Now, cancel all student debt!
President Biden must take the next step and cancel student debt for all. Research shows that debt cancellation is progressive. That means the more that is canceled, the more benefits reach people who need help. On top of that, canceling more debt will further advance efforts to address racial and gender equity issues.

Q: Implication of MGF inequality Let X and Y be two random variables. Denote by $F_X(x)$ and $F_Y(y)$ their CDFs and by $M_X(t)$ and $M_Y(t)$ their MGFs.
It is known that X and Y have the same CDF iff they have the same MGF.
My question is, if $\forall t>0, M_X(t) \le M_Y(t)$, does it imply a direct inequality for the tails of $F_X(x)$ and $F_Y(y)$? (By direct I mean, not via the Laplace transform, because that only gives bounds for both distributions.)

High voltage vacuum feedthroughs: The large fluted ceramic feedthrough at left is mounted in an 8″ ConFlat flange and is easily capable of 100 kV in air-insulated service. There is no lead passing down the axis of the insulator; you'd have to supply your own. The "hot" end of the insulator contains a 1 1/3″ rotatable ConFlat on a hollow tube, which as the photo shows has been bent off-axis. 8″ flange knife edge is in good condition. Exterior of fluted insulator has some gummy residues that are soluble in acetone. Suggested price: $250.
Manual high vacuum valves: At left, a KF-50 bellows-sealed stainless steel valve in good used condition. Suggested price: $75.
NIM stuff: I have an Ortec Model 452 spectroscopy amplifier and an Ortec Model 929 high voltage supply. Both are working, although the 929 has no side panels and the 453 amp is missing a 4-40 screw from one of its side panels. The 452 is suitable for general-purpose linear amplification and pulse shaping for radiation measurements. The 929 HV supply is +/- 10 kV and the polarity can be internally switched. $30 each.
Brand-new Hamamatsu photomultiplier tubes! Here's a good deal for those folks wanting to build miniature scintillation detectors. These are 10-stage / 12 pin 3/4″ (19 mm) PMTs, brand-new in the box. The tube is a #6813341. I don't know if an alternate "R" number is associated with these or not, but they share the same pinout as the R1450 and probably behave similarly. $20 each or $70 for all four.
High-power semiconductors: Powerex CM400HA-34H IGBT, CM300HA-24H IGBT, ND4414180 dual-diode block, and LS4414300P diode block. These parts came from a high-power switching circuit in a monstrous Crymer HV supply. Should be attractive to folks building switch circuits entailing hundreds of amps and thousands of volts. $20 each.
High voltage filter capacitors: 0.125 μF / 27 kVDC made by Westinghouse. $25 each or $40 for both. Heavy!
High-voltage filter capacitors: 0.075 μF / 16 kVDC. Electrical check OK, physically somewhat ratty looking. May contain PCBs. $10 each, $15 the pair.
High voltage doorknob capacitors: 650 pF, 18 kVDC. 8-32 thread on each side. $1 each.
High voltage transformer: salvaged from a large Universal Voltronics supply, this transformer seems to produce about 20 kV from an input of 240 VAC. It must be operated under oil. Likely capable of at least 1 kVA. Some rust is evident on parts of the core. $30. Remember, this is heavy!
where did you buy those filter capacitors, could they be used for a tesla coil?
i AM INTERESTED IN THE TWO NIM BIN COMPONENTS.
Please email me and let me know. I live in the united kingdom.
i, m interest with Hamamatsu photomultiplier tubes!
can you ship to indonesia??

When a Georgia resident sustains one or more injuries in an accident that another person's negligence caused, the injured party has the right to pursue compensation for medical bills, lost wages, pain and suffering and other damages. The expectation is that the injured person will use the monetary award to pay off the medical bills and other expenses that are the result of the injury. Unfortunately, personal injury cases can take months or even years to settle. How then are injured parties supposed to manage medical debt in the meantime?
What is Georgia's "Responsible Dog Ownership Law"?
On behalf of McCamy, Phillips, Tuggle & Fordham, LLP posted in personal injury on Tuesday, March 5, 2019.
In 2012, Georgia Governor Deal signed the "Responsible Dog Ownership Law" into law, citing that it would safeguard the common public and their furry friends from harm and death caused by the attacks of dangerous dogs. The goal of the legislature was to provide minimal, statewide standards. However, as Michigan State University's Legal and Historical Animal Center's page on the subject indicates, the legislature is far from "minimal."
What will happen if I file a personal injury lawsuit?
When you get hurt due to someone else's negligence, you may have the right to file a personal injury case in a Georgia court. Personal injury cases are civil cases. This means they do not result in any criminal punishments. Instead, they could result in money being paid to you. If you want to file a personal injury case, you should understand how the process works beforehand.

Residents in Georgia often take to the roads and highways over the holidays to be with their family members and friends during special celebration events. Unfortunately, this can be a time not only of joy and togetherness but of tragedy if an accident happens when someone is on their way to or from such a trip. Losing a loved one in a senseless crash is always a challenge for those left behind but can be exceptionally difficult when it happens over a holiday.

"Oklahoma Man Not Charged for Violating Privacy of 16 Year Old Girl".
Oklahoma's Court of Criminal Appeals ruled that taking pictures up someone's skirt in a public place is not a crime. The court voted 4-1 in favor of 34-year-old Riccardo Ferrante who was arrested for putting his camera up an unsuspecting 16-year-old girl's skirt in a department store, reports the Associated Press...Ferrante was charged under Oklahoma's "Peeping Tom" statute, which makes such offenses felonies punishable of up to 5 years in prison. Tulsa World reports that the court ruled that the statute only applies in situations where the victims are in a reasonably private place such as their own homes, a restroom, or a locker room.
Clearly, sexual privacy doesn't seem to apply to when women are in public.
What can of worms does this open up? Spycams in changing rooms? Can someone pull down your shirt as you're waiting for the bus? The implications of this ruling are absurd!
And this is all because she dared to wear a skirt in public that was short enough that a camera could be placed under that. Hear that ladies? If you're gonna leave the house, you'd better be wearing full-body armor! Enter the public sphere, and your sexual privacy belongs to everyone. But stay at home (ya know, where women belong), and you're fully protected.
I have been thinking a lot about women's right to privacy in public spaces, due to some recent stories and discoveries I've made, and I plan to write about it more extensively soon (keep an eye out!)...but in the meantime, puke on this.

Q: Connect to a remote docker host How can I connect my local docker client to a remote docker host on my network?
I have a ubuntu server box on my local network on which I intend to setup my containers. However, at this point, I have to SSH into that box from my development box manually and then run the containers.
I attempted to set the $DOCKER_HOST environment variable on my development box and also ensured that the 2376 port is opened on the docker host box. But when I tried to run the docker commands, but I keep getting the message:
Cannot connect to the Docker daemon. Is the docker daemon running on this host?
P.S. Is there a way to configure my docker host to bind the docker server to a different hostname and port?

A: sudo docker -H tcp://0.0.0.0:2375 -H unix:///var/run/docker.sock -d &

This should give you what you want. Run it on the host, allows it to listen for any IP and binds it to the socket.

A: Docker has the steps listed to configure remote access to the socket using mutual TLS encryption here. Follow the steps carefully to ensure the server validates the CA of the client certificates. Because of the trust given to certificates signed by the CA, this is a scenario where you want to have a self signed CA.
The steps involved include:

*

*Creating your own CA keys

*Creating your server keys and signing with the server hostname

*Creating your client keys and signing with a special client extension field

*Loading the server keys and CA on the docker host, configuring it to listen on 2376, and validate the TLS of clients

*Loading the client keys and CA on your remote client, configuring the docker host to the remote server, and verifying the TLS of the server

Skipping any of these steps can result in the server allowing root level access without a password, or encryption, on a well known protocol that is actively scanned for and exploited on the internet.

Born in Livingston, Montana in 1950 and now residing in Red Lodge, Montana, I have lived all but two years in south central Montana. I have always loved and appreciated this wide open country and its variety of landscapes. Through my art I try to portray my view of this land. I feel the splendor of the Beartooth plateau in morning is no more beautiful than the intricate patterns and colors of the rock, vegetation, snow and sky that combine to create the complete picture. Whether it is an abandoned farmhouse or a deep green pool on Rock Creek, each has its own individual and unique beauty. Instead of limiting subject matter and medium, I enjoy exploring different aspects of art. Most of my work through the years has been in watercolor, working in oil from time to time. In recent years I have been working with wood, primarily creating juniper furniture, but also carving and painting trout, which I present in a variety of ways ranging from simple rock bases to unique functional furniture.

Top Ten Tuesday | Squads I'd have friendsgiving with – Books. Libraries. Also, cats.
This week's theme was a thankful/thanksgiving freebie, so I wanted to write about Friendsgiving! Friendsgiving is all about celebrating friends, chosen family, and community, which for many are just as important as blood family. I love books about chosen families and tight-knit groups of friends, and the holiday season is an important time to acknowledge that families take many forms and don't look one way.
In this adorable middle grade novel, a young immigrant kid named Mia helps her parents run a motel. Mia becomes fast friends with the "weeklies"— the folks who rent rooms by the week and live at the motel. They're a diverse group of people from all different backgrounds, and they truly become family to Mia and her parents.
A Friendsgiving with Goldie and her friends would be full of car racing and mystery solving. As a kid, I always wanted to be BFFs with Nancy Drew, and Goldie is essentially a queer, POC, hilarious version of Nancy, which is even better in my book!
This novel about finding chosen family while hiking on the John Muir Trail was a pleasantly surprising read for me! I loved that Mari's newfound friends didn't care about her past, who she used to be, or what secrets she kept. They were so patient, understanding, and nonjudgmental and never made Mari feel guilty for how she processed her grief. I totally want to have a Friendsgiving day hike (but maybe not a 200 mile one!) and huge post-hike feast with them.
I'll admit that up until a year ago, I'd never seen The Goonies before, but I still totally appreciate this all-girl graphic novel spin on it. Can I please have a friend squad that will go on wild treasure hunts with me? Wilder and her friends are all so unique and passionate about different things and I would definitely hang out with them.
Here's another all-girl squad from a graphic novel! A diverse group of girls who work at a records store and run a secret fight club that solves mysteries? I totally want to hang out at the record store with them, solve mysteries, and maybe be Chris's wing-woman.
I grew up in a small neighborhood where we would all get together for one giant Thanksgiving feast and those days will always be some of my most cherished memories. I imagine that the Bushwick neighborhood in Pride would do the same thing, since they're a tight-knit community that loves enjoying food and good times together.
Honestly, I 100 % want to have Friendsgiving with a bunch of cats. Anyone who knows me is probably not in the least bit surprised by this.
Anise and her friends are probably one of my favorite friend groups in any YA book. I love how close they are and how enduring their friendship is. Even though Anise spends so much of the book far away from her friends, they still felt like important characters in the book and I still felt like I got to know them!
This YA contemporary about a homeless teen had a beautiful depiction of how powerful and resilient friendship can be. Ham & Seung truly become Linden's family and are such a huge support system for her in the novel. They're the kinds of friends everyone deserves (and the kind to be so thankful for, if you have them in your life!).
This YA novel, albeit obviously unrealistic, was a lovely story of chosen family. Bun, a 14 year-old who finds herself alone on the street, is taken in by a group of outcasts. Together they form a family that weathers through so many obstacles. The other characters in this novel truly become parents, friends, and siblings to Bun, which I loved.
What literary squads would you be friends with?
Great topic! I love the sound of The Other Side of Lost, and I have to agree about Girl Out Of Water. Those friendships were pretty awesome!
I hope you get to read The Other Side of Lost soon! I read it while I was camping, which was the perfect time to read it!
Okay, but why had I never heard of Wilder and other misfits of Misfit City?!?!?! GIVE ME ALL THE BOOKS WITH WILD TREASURE HUNTS AND UNBREAKABLE FRIENDSHIPS!!!!
I love your spin on this weeks topic!! ❤ Friendships and family is so important, twice as much if that family is something you've sought out yourself!
Ahhhh I hope you get to read Misfit City soon!! And I agree, found family is really important.
Such a good list! I haven't heard of most of these, so I need to go and check them out asap.I love The Goonies so Misfit City is going straight on my TBR.
the Lunar Chronicles and Six of Crows are on my TBR! I don't usually like fantasy but I've heard so many good things about Six of Crows.
I love your take on this week's theme! I've not read any of these, but I'm definitely adding a couple to my TBR.
Yay! Glad you were able to find some new titles!
Aw this is such a wonderful post!
Oh, awesome! I hope you enjoy it. I'm excited to read the author's 2019 release!
What a cool idea, Friendsgiving! It would be cool to go on a huge hiking trip with a bunch of friends.

scream (v.)
late Old English, scræmen, scremen, "utter a piercing cry, cry out with a shrill voice," a word of uncertain origin, similar to words in Scandinavian, Dutch, German, and Flemish (such as Old Norse skræma "to terrify, scare away," skramsa "to scream;" Swedish scrana "to scream," Middle Dutch schremen, scremen, Dutch schreijen "cry aloud, shriek," Old High German scrian, German schreien "to cry"). Related: Screamed; screaming.
Of inanimate things by 1784 (fiddle music). The sense of "communicate (something) strongly" is by 1957. Screaming meemies is World War I army slang, originally a soldiers' name for a type of German artillery shell that made a loud noise in flight (from French woman's name Mimi), extended to the battle fatigue caused by long exposure to enemy fire.
scream (n.)
c. 1500, "a sharp, piercing sound or cry," expressive of pain, alarm, etc., from scream (v.).
And (as they say) lamentings heard i' th' Ayre; Strange Schreemes of Death. ["Macbeth," II.iii.61]
That spelling probably reflects "sk-" as spelled in words from Latin (such as school; see sch); his early editions also have schreene for screen. The slang meaning "something very great, excellent, or exciting," especially "something that evokes a cry of laughter" is by 1888; screamer in this sense is from 1831.
Entries linking to scream
consonant cluster that can represent five distinct sounds in English; it first was used by Middle English writers to render Old English sc-, a sound now generally pronounced (and spelled) "-sh-." Sometimes it was miswritten for ch. It also was taken in from German (schnapps) and Yiddish (schlemiel). In words derived from classical languages (school (n.1)), it represents Latin sch-, Greek skh-, but in some of these words the spelling is a restoration and the pronunciation does not follow it (as in schism; Middle English sisme, cisme).
The Yiddish words with it, often derisive or dismissive, tended to come into 20c. American English. In addition to those with entries here, Saul Bellow used schmegeggy, "Portnoy's Complaint" has schmatte "a ragged garment;" schmeck "a sniff" figures in heroin jargon, and schmutz "dirt, filth" has been used. Directly to English from German also are some specialized words: Schmelz "enamel," schmerz "grief, pain, sorrow,"
screamer (n.)
1712, "one who or that which screams," agent noun from scream (v.). As a type of bird by 1773. By 1831 as "something excellent or exciting." In newspapers, "a large headline" (1890).

Sheldon Yellen manages a $1.5 billion company that operates in 31 countries and employs 7,000 people … all without a smartphone.
The CEO of Belfor, a privately held property restoration company, told CNBC why he only uses a flip phone — and it's not to be trendy.
"You can't show and feel emotion, compassion, passion or intent through a smartphone, through text," Yellen said.
Having a flip phone encourages phone conversations, the CEO said, which he strongly prefers to texting.
"If someone has something to say to me, they know they can pick up the phone. I'll answer their question," he said. "I am approachable, and I can't convey that through a text."
One business encounter in particular solidified his view.
"I don't like smartphones, and I'll tell you why," Yellen said. "A young kid was trying to get a meeting with me and sell me a product. Finally after three months, he got his appointment. He's sitting across from me, and three times during the first 10 minutes this kid looks down at his smartphone and starts texting."
He told the young man: "I'm not trying to be rude or arrogant, but I think you're going to have to go. I'm not asking you get down and bow, but you just spent so [much] of my time texting someone when you're sitting with me. You gotta go, and one day you're going to thank me."
Smartphones are not allowed at Belfor company meetings. There is an unspoken rule that no one brings in their phone.
"My thinking is: Let's have our meeting; let's get on with it," Yellen said. "In a lot of situations, we have a basket in the room or outside the room for cellphones."
Yellen, who was featured on "Undercover Boss" in 2013, said that he considers his employees to be family.
"I want people to talk to me," he said. "I want them to hear my passion."


Two years ago my partner in crime and I set up our own online interior design business. We embarked on the most incredible and adventurous journey, working on exciting projects, with incredible clients & seeing how our business was taking off little by little. One year into this journey, I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, we planned everything meticulously so I could take 9 months off and enjoy my time with her before returning back to work and continue where we left off.
Hah! As anyone who has children will know, becoming a parent for the very first time and starting to raise a family is a life-changing experience. I wouldn't have ever thought how much it would change me as a person until it actually happened. I always believed that I would continue being in control of my things after the pregnancy, that I would continue to be the best friend, best wife and best business women I always wanted to be. Suddenly, my world, which had previously been within my control changed and I had this tiny little being to look after and love, who needed me more than anything else in the world. It was hard, very hard at times, but it was amazing to say the least.??
As the ninth tramadol online overnight fedex month of maternity was approaching I started to feel self doubt, fear, anxiety and guilt like I had never felt before. How could I leave this perfect little person I had spent with every hour of every day since she was born with someone else and be expected to concentrate on work? Also how would I manage to work and do the job that I love as good as before?
Those are questions that I raised to myself over and over again while the day was arriving. I kept said to myself that I needed time to myself and will also be a great thing to get that sense of professional fulfilment back, but it was much better said that done.
Well… I know the journey back in to work is never going to be an easy one, but now I'm ready and confident that all those feeling will definitely disappear. I know I will do not a good job, but a great job as I will do it also for my baby girl.
How couldn't I!? Since I love my job and I have the most amazing family, friends and clients ever!
So here I am…Let's enjoy this journey Cristina Porres Interiors!


Cleaning is second nature to many homeowners and a key part of a healthy life. What many people don't know is that the products and techniques they are using to clean their floors could actually be damaging the surface rather than cleaning it.
There is also a common misconception that chemical-based cleaners offer a deeper and faster cleaning experience. However, these chemicals may be toxic to your family. Chemicals and incorrect methods aside, there are actually safe and effective ways to clean floors.
The friction that is created when a towel is moved back and forth can damage the carpet fibres. This type of damage can shorten the lifespan of the carpet and have owners replacing carpet prematurely. Instead of scrubbing, try cleaning in a blotting motion, moving the cloth up and down repeatedly to avoid damage.
Be it hardwood floors or carpet, cleaning with excess water could have negative consequences. The moisture can build up and create water damage and potential mould infestations. To limit the amount of water that comes into direct contact with your floors, try cleaning with already damp cloths and rags.
Just because the surface looks clean, doesn't necessarily mean that it is. Regularly vacuuming floorboards and carpeted surfaces helps to get rid of the loose dirt that gathers on the ground. Leaving the loose dirt on your floors has a sandpaper like effect on the surface and could lead to the floor dulling in colour, or scratches appearing over time.
When something gets knocked onto your floors, springing into quick action will save you time and effort. By cleaning up the spill quickly, you aren't allowing the stain to sink deep into the fibres of the floor, meaning that the clean-up job won't be as long or as strenuous.
Attacking floor spills with a coarse cloth or scrub is not only overzealous, but it may actually work against you. If the scrub is too coarse for your surface, it may remove the grime, but it will also scratch and blemish the floor's finish.
Many homeowners will be familiar with mopping their floors, however they may not be doing it effectively. To achieve a longer lasting and deeper clean, fill a bucket with hot water and a cleaning solution. Dip a mop into the solution and wring out as much of the excess water as you can, as you want to avoid the mistake of cleaning with too much water. Make sure to slide your mop along the grain, and repeat until you've cleaned the whole surface. Also ensure that you're always mopping with clean water to avoid spreading dirty water back onto surfaces you've already mopped for a thorough cleaning job.
Now that homeowners know the right techniques for cleaning their floors, the next question is- what is the right product? Most popular household cleaners, while killing germs effectively will also contain toxic ingredients such as phthalates which have the potential to damage the liver, kidneys and lungs and formaldehyde, a substance that research has linked to watery eyes, nausea and asthmatic attacks.
Instead, try Bio-home's Floor Cleaner. It's a baby-safe concentrated solution that's dermatologically tested and cleans floors without leaving any harsh chemicals behind. Made from non-toxic, biodegradable and 100% plant-based active ingredients, cleaning with bio-home doesn't mean also exposing your family to toxic chemicals.
Making the switch to green cleaning products not only makes for a healthier and safer home, but it also helps reduce pollution in the waterways and the air, minimises climate change, and produces less environmental waste. Green cleaning products also smell nicer due to them not containing strong chemicals, making for a more pleasant cleaning experience. Find out for yourself with our Rinse-Free Floor Cleaner.

JULIANA HATFIELD SINGS OLIVIA NEWTON-JOHN: REVIEW
JULIANA HATFIELD
Juliana Hatfield Sings Oliva Newton John (American Laundromat)
The good and bad news for those coming to this album with scepticism or anticipating a laugh is that Juliana Hatfield – who emerged from the po-faced indie scene of the 1990s and veered close to but never actually broached the mainstream membrane – is that this album is not an exercise in irony, nor in radical reinvention.
Hatfield has no interest in taking the piss: she grew up a fan of Olivia Newton-John, for a start, but just as importantly does not look back at that fandom with squeamishness or wry bemusement. Nor is she interested in remaking these songs into some new form that disguises their origins or shows the "cleverness" of a modern production approach or incongruous style.
Being able to sing most of these songs in their original key, Hatfield, reinforces the sense of history repeating sometimes with arrangements which deviate little from the original version. Xanadu – of which more later – could be the better known version sans those backing vocals; Magic comes in the same tempo, almost the same guitar solo but possibly a little less heat; Please Mr Please is a pigeon pair with the recording Hatfield grew up with bar a keyboard tone.
Which will raise a perfectly reasonable question in the minds of many for whom ONJ is the epitome of flaccid pop, late arriving pallid sexuality, and limp movie musicals (and hello here to my wife!): why would I want to dip into that well again? The obvious answer is you wouldn't want to, and you should move on right now.
For the rest of us who may have enjoyed a dip or three into that well over the years – count me in there and put me in the tiny crowd which says "Totally Hot is the best ONJ album, Please Mr Please is a sad country gem, but don't get me started on how dire a song Physical is" – the most interesting aspect of Hatfield's approach here is that while she comes respectfully, there is something of the passion of the fan here. More passion to be honest than ONJ was known to display.
I think you can feel a little more teen loss in Hopelessly Devoted To You, catch a bit more young adult ennui in Make A Move On Me which comes across more like Hatfield's Blake Babies backing her than the studio workers back in the '70s, and (though I concede this may be projecting) there is a hint of more desire in Have You Never Been Mellow.
Speaking of desire, the songs from the one album where ONJ could genuinely be accused of raising the ambient temperature in the studio and in our ears – A Little More Love and Totally Hot – show the benefits of going a bit further than respect.
While in A Little More Love that is mostly the tad grungier guitars that give the song extra earthiness – an idea taken further in the revved up country rock take on Dancin' Round And Round - Totally Hot is among the most altered songs here, punching up as a bit of a bar band number its dance now a kind of shoulder roll. It isn't necessarily better, but it does shake things up and succeeds where the more radical redo of I Honestly Love You fails.
The thing is though that I Honestly Love You fails not so much because of the new, more clatter/more disjointed/more effort approach but because it is a weak song, one of her more vapid numbers. Which brings us to Xanadu.
It had to be here I suppose: Hatfield clearly loves it, it would be about ONJ's best known track, and after all this time it probably has shifted in many people's affections from tolerated into something maybe ruefully, or even unashamedly enjoyed.
But then and now it is a confection which would aspire to having even the weight of a pop meringue and bears the scarlet mark of its creator. (Yes, it's true I am not now, nor have I ever been a Jeff Lynne fan. Got a problem with that?) Would that this had been given a makeover to give it reason to exist at all.
However, that wasn't Juliana Hatfield's intention with this album, a collection by a fan for a fan, which wears its heart on the outside. And wears it well.
