Exceptionally well presented with all the amenities we needed for a thoroughly enjoyable stay. Met all our expectations, and more.
My wife and 2 adult daughter's met my daughter's friend in Sydney and the five of us ventured to Villa Blue in Palm Cove for a week. The home was everything we could ask for, clean and in good condition. The house was well provisioned with, beach towels and chairs, kitchen utensils, gas grill etc. and we loved the salt water pool. Palm Cove, a short walk from the house was a great spot for a restaurant or casual drink, with many choices right on the beach. Fireworks on the beach new years eve was a great kickoff for our stay. It was everything we wanted from our first trip to Australia! Hazel was a great communicator making me comfortable I would get what we expected.
Phenomenal Property - all the conveniences of home in a great location. Only twenty minutes north of Cairns - easy commute. Clean, neat home. Great pool. Relaxing... what more could you want?

After leaving behind the snow in London, Villa Blue provided a perfect start to our Australian adventure. Until next time – thanks so much.
Stayed here for a month & hardly left the building! We wanted to stay for ever – just perfect. Thank you, it was exactly what we needed – can we keep it?
Gorgeous relaxing holiday with our newly completed family. Very comfortable for the kids – lived in the pool. Kookaburras very cute & noisy! Thank you.
Villa Blue was just perfect, a great place in which to relax and just chill out. It could be too nice at times as we couldn't be bothered to move ourselves when we got up. Will come back again – had a lovely time.
We hated Palm Cove – the sky was too blue, the sea was too turquoise, the sand was too sandy, the beer was too cold, the sun shone far too much, the birds were too colourful – JUST KIDDING! It's been absolutely superb – our third time in Australia and now we plan to come back for good. Everything here is just fantastic. Brilliant holiday!
Villa Blue met all our expectations and then some. A wonderful family holiday that I know our children will also remember fondly for a very long time. Thank you for all the extra touches that make Villa Blue so unique.

Organic Basmati Punjabi Brown Rice 5Kg
What Is Basmati Rice?
Basmati is one of the best known varieties of rice out there. The word "basmati" comes from the Sanskrit word "vasmati" which means "fragrant" or "aromatic." Long-grained, extremely aromatic, with a light nutty flavour, basmati is grown in the north of India and Pakistan, mainly using traditional growing methods.
Rice — A Sweet, Sattvic Ayurvedic Delight
Rice is not only a staple food around the world but is a cultural symbol for fertility, health and wealth in many countries. In our own country it is customary to throw rice at a newlywed couple, symbolizing wishes for fertility and prosperity. In India it is believed that Lord Vishnu caused the Earth to give birth to rice, and that the god Indra taught the people how to raise it. Rice is used for worship, and colored powdered rice is used to create beautiful works of art in the form of mandalas in the Far East. In these countries, rice is treated with reverence and associated with elaborate planting rituals.
There are several dozen varieties of rice. Some of the common varieties of rice include jasmine, Texmati, Calmati, Japanese, arboria, brown rice, wild rice and basmati rice According to ayurveda, basmati rice is the king of all rices. Basmati rice is sattvic, or pure; it balances all three doshas; it is nourishing for the body tissues; and it is easy to digest. Aged basmati rice has an aroma and flavor arguably the best in the world. Ayurveda recommends avoiding rice that is parboiled, instant or pre-cooked because is has less nutrition and less prana, or life energy, in it.
How to Cook Wholegrain Basmati Rice
Wholegrain organic brown basmati rice is known for its wonderfully nutty flavour and distinctive texture. Many people are nervous about cooking wholegrain rice, but actually it's as simple as cooking white rice or pasta – and it only takes 25 minutes. As well as being easy to prepare, Maharishi AyurVeda Punjabi Brown Basmati is the classic grain with all the natural goodness of the bran layer intact, making this a nutritional addition to your healthy lifestyle. It's rich in nutrients, packed with natural fibre, and has a low to medium GI – which means it keeps you fuller for longer. The wholesome nutty flavor of wholegrain rice makes it the perfect accompaniment to soups, salads and strong, spicy dishes.
Brown Rice Nutrition Facts
Punjabi Organic Brown Basmati rice is a good source of complex carbohydrates and fiber and also contains some protein and small amounts of magnesium, phosphorus, thiamin and niacin. A 1/2-cup serving of cooked brown rice contains 108 calories, 1 g fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 22 g carbohydrate, 2 g protein, 2 g fiber, 5 mg sodium and 77 mg potassium.

The undisputed king of shopping days is the day after Thanksgiving. Known more popularly as "Black Friday', the midnight following your turkey dinner marks a 24-hour shopfest all around the world. Eager shoppers line-up outside stores for first shot at the biggest discounted items. Savvy shoppers will purchase gifts for everyone on their Christmas list in order to maximize the amount they save.
Author ivymedia adminPosted on November 14, 2012 February 25, 2019 Categories Black Friday & Cyber Monday, Deals & Seasonal3 Comments on Black Friday Shopping Tours!
As many enjoy a turkey dinner early on Thanksgiving day, evenings can be spent napping on a full stomach. This opens up the late hours of Black Friday for a night full of shopping! Black Friday shopping is all about the savings. Stores open up in the wee hours of the night to greet a crowd of bargain hunters. Special "Doorbuster" deals are made available to the true early birds and are seen the as true prizes on Black Friday. There is reason behind the apparent chaos that is the biggest shopping weekend of the year. A tradition for many families, shopping begins with the opening of stores (many of which open as early as 4am!).
Admit it: like many consumers, you're a sucker for a good brand name. Sometimes it's worth paying that little bit (or maybe more than a little bit) extra for a certain logo or designer brand; especially if you're loyal to that company's merchandise, fit, or style. But in this kind of economy, you also want a bargain. What to do?
It's an easy answer: visit factory outlets and outlet malls.

Long before the latest theoretical modeling, there had been observational evidence of planets attending double stars. Binary — period 165 yrs. The orbital motions in multiple star systems are both complex and fascinating. One of the most common of these uses a 1 to 5 numerical scale, where 1 indicates hopelessly turbulent blurred images and 5 indicates stationary razor-sharp ones. Uncertain values are marked with a colon : , very uncertain ones with a double colon ::. Orbiting binaries certainly exist below this limit, but until relatively recently their presence could only be known in certain cases through the technique of photographic astrometry see below.
Triple in heart of Trifid Neb. As Charles Edward Barns stated in his long out-of-print classic 1001 Celestial Wonders, Let me learn all that is known of them, Love them for the joy of loving. This is the wellknown Mass—Luminosity Relation, which offers a simple but immensely valuable link between the mass of stars in general and their luminosities. Proper protection of the head, hands and feet are especially critical during such times, and several layers of clothing are recommended. The author has conducted visual and photographic observations with the 30-inch refractor at the Allegheny Observatory, as well as with a host of smaller refractors from 2- to 24-inches in aperture over the years and can personally attest to the superb image quality these telescopes are capable of delivering. Two concepts of how double and multiple stars form. This sophisticated photographic device — typically the size of a large shoebox attached to the working end of a telescope — makes possible measurements of binaries with separations of just 0.
Double and Multiple Star Working List 4. For us purists, these devices take much of the fun out of celestial exploration and leave their users not knowing the sky without their aid. Double and Multiple Star Observing Lists Double and Multiple Star Observing Lists 75 76 4. In addition to the four 19 Types of Double Stars Figure 2. Originally selfpublished in 1998 and updated in 2000 , it was reprinted in 2002 by Dover Publications in New York. The light outbursts of these stars may amount to several magnitudes in the case of the dwarf novae, or as much as 12 magnitudes for novae themselves; both types are now known to be members of such close binary systems.
Apertures of 4 or 5 inches are virtually independent of all but the worst seeing conditions. Chevalier Center for High Resolution Astronomy W. Written specially for practical amateur astronomers who not only want to observe, but want to know and understand the details of exactly what they are looking at. Mitchell Melbourne Observatory Paul Muller William Markowitz Brian Mason O. The odds that two suns so bright will be positioned so close together are something like one chance in 700 over the entire sky. Luyten 1st proper motion catalogue O. However, the better the eyepiece, generally the more pleasing the views will be.
The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review. Binary — period 425 yrs. Frequency and Distribution of Double Stars. The photographic plate eventually replaced the eye for many studies and the spectroscope 7 Introduction 8 ushered in the modern era of astrophysics. Personal Matters There are a number of other factors that impact the overall success of an observing session at the telescope. With the exception of stars that just happen to lie along the same line of sight but are actually far apart in space, these objects are physically gravitationally bound together as a system.
They both prevent dew from forming on their upfront optical elements and also shield stray light from entering the telescope. Swiss amateur astronomer Andreas Maurer has effectively doubled the resolution of his 8-inch Schmidt—Cassegrain on bright double stars using the cardboard mask and sliding screen seen here. The term describes that condition where all the optical elements in a telescope system are aligned onto the same optical axis, to very high angular tolerances. This organization has also issued a number of excellent observing guidebooks, Volume 1 of which is entitled Double Stars by Robert Argyle. Constellation Names and Abbreviations continued Abbrev. Fortunately, the Hipparcos satellite has again saved the day, restoring this showpiece back to its original status as a real double star. Dim but striking; red and blue! To reduce accidental errors, the double star should be measured on three or more nights in the same season, and an average obtained.
The rods, however, continue to increase their sensitivity to low light levels; complete dark adaptation takes at least four hours! How can such young suns be present in such old, evolved systems? Indeed, the sky is alive with color once the eye has been trained to see it. While also not a double star society as such, the British-based Webb Society named after the Reverend T. This is true even in close pairs where the planets orbit far outside the center of gravity of the system, the binary itself essentially acting as a single massive sun. Two other less common devices make use of multiple images for measuring double stars. Contrary to common belief, double stars are deep-sky objects! These are typically indicated in catalogues with a dual spectral type, such as A3+G7, as for normal spectroscopic pairs where the lines from both stars are seen.
Binary star orbits are generally ellipses except for pairs having precisely the same masses. The work is great and the challenges are real but the observer who comes up with the correct magnitude term will be immortalized. Also, if placed ahead of a star diagonal instead of behind it as intended, the extra optical path length through the diagonal to the eyepiece will also greatly increase its effective power. While it is true that literally hundreds of these stars can be seen around the sky with just a pair of binoculars — and a good number with the unaided eye alone — a telescope is necessary to really appreciate and enjoy this class of deep-sky object. Easy double — tough triple. Compiled and maintained by the United States Naval Observatory in Washington, D.
Taking a peek and looking for the next object is like reading just a few words in a great novel. It has been repeatedly shown that the eye sees more detail in a comfortably seated position than when standing, twisting or bending at the eyepiece. Similarly, if turning your head while looking into the eyepiece causes the ellipse to rotate, the astigmatism is in your eye and not the telescope. Unlike color studies, measuring binary stars requires good seeing much more than high sky transparency. This has made such instruments the choice of both professional and amateur astronomers for double star work, especially the micrometer measurement of close binaries. Sidgwick, published three decades ago and reprinted by Dover in 1980, 69 Observing Projects 70 contains very valuable information about binary stars, including their measurement, orbit calculation and plotting procedures.

After this we can use Uncompute instead of nsSMILCSSValueType in order to avoid trying to serialize complex colors.
Move the SMIL code in there, since we're going to mess with it more in a second.

Looks good to me basically but we should split dropping the code for the old style stuff into a separate patch.

Distinct modelling patterns characterise gradual, accelerating or sudden property variation with temperature.
Here is a list of 12 items to fit into Table 3 as the opportunities or challenges labelled A to L. The list probably contains some terminology and many ideas that are unfamiliar. I don't expect that you will be able to recognise and match them all, so try to place at least one in each of the categories – gradual, accelerating and sudden.
Silicon melts at 1414 °C, so diffusion of dopants to control semiconducting properties cannot be done at arbitrarily high temperatures.
Creep deformation – it is thermally activated, so it's an accelerating change that is a challenge in service: E.
Homogenisation of castings – a processing opportunity that is thermally activated (accelerating): H.
Glass shattering under thermal shock – a thermal expansion challenge (gradual) during service: D.
Convection in a domestic water system – this is related to thermal expansion (gradual) in service and it represents an opportunity: A.
Quenching and tempering of steel – a sudden change that offers a processing opportunity: I.
The temperature dependence of resistivity demands highly uniform cross-section of lamp filament – a processing challenge relating to a gradually changing property: J.
p–n junctions are stable against homogenisation at room temperature – the interdiffusion of dopants is thermally activated (accelerating), so semiconductors once doped are stable in service at or near room temperature processors: B.
Fuses in electrical circuits – sudden melting of a fuse wire in service is used to advantage: C.
Superconducting transitions are all at inconveniently low temperatures – this is a service challenge for a critical phenomenon: F.
Provision of surface compressive stress enables 'safety glass' for car windows – this opportunity for processing is based on gradual thermal expansion: G.
Onset of unwanted reactions in chemical processes – here a process challenge is thermally accelerated: K.
Silicon melts at 1414 °C, so diffusion of dopants to control semiconducting properties cannot be done at arbitrarily high temperatures –this is a process challenge for semiconductor processors, this time (cf. 7) associated with a (sudden) phase change: L.


What if I need my dog removed immediately?
Sadly, we cannot help if you need your dog removed now. The process of rehoming a pet through the rehoming program is one that takes several days. You need to allow time for us to collect your paper work, write a detailed profile, edit media, upload data and have it edited. It also takes time for the right potential adoptee to find your pet.
Depending on the type, size and age of the pet, it can take from a couple of days to several weeks or, rarely, even months to find a new home.
Unfortunately, Dog Adoption does not have the resources to provide free emergency accommodation for dogs who need re-homing unless it is a proven welfare case, and even then, not under 1 week.
Ask your friends and family if any of them are able to provide a temporary home for your pet while we work together to find a permanent home.
If you can afford it, keep your pet at a boarding facility during this time.
Call your veterinarian's office and let them know about your situation. See if they have anything to suggest. Sometimes a vet can provide boarding; other times they may know of a family looking to adopt another pet.
Contact rescue or shelter organisations in your area to see if any have room for your pet. A few things to keep in mind: Many rescue organisations don't take pets from owners, only from public animal shelters. Also, most rescues do not have a facility; they rely on a network of foster homes, most of which are usually full. Most rescuers also have "day jobs" and may not be able to respond to a call or an email immediately. It's very expensive for rescuers to care for pets, so it may help if you can offer a donation to a rescue, or offer to pay for your pet's care until a home is found. Tip: if your pet is a specific breed, look for rescues that specialise in that breed. Google can also be helpful with this.

i would like to know can LINKS SQL work as a Content management system.
we are looking for a good CMS application for managing our content like articles etc directory wise, also is it possible to use it on one portion of site as picturegallery, on content side of site as article manager, somewhere as business directory..
in case we need modification, what would be modification level.
Yeah, it should be able to. If you integrate yogi's PageBuilder plugin too, that would certinly be a good addition if you want to run a CMS style site.
Yes, we have a number of sites using Links SQL as a CMS. Drop me a private message and I'll send you some URL's of examples.
On a related note, can Links break a article to span multiple pages? I'm thinking of using Links as a CMS for a tutorials/articles site as well, but need this feature.
I'm not sure if GT have anything up their sleves, but as far as I know this isn't currently possible. I would imagine that you could do it via a Plugin though.
I'd really like info on this as well. I am really interested in standardizing my portal site on GT products with LSQL as the focal point.
Not out of the box no. However, if you are using dynamic pages this would be fairly easy to do. You could add extra columns for each page, and then in the template for the detailed page, just create links to the same URL but passing in page=2, and use template tags to control which field is displayed.
We are using LinksSQL as cms - in fact we are running the entire site on GT products.
Looks great what GT products are you using? Is dbman one of them?
Could you tell me how you use the three installations. I see you have news and events and a directory. Are those the three installations?
Also what plugins are you running?

Trump's clueless handling of Kim is to blame for summit fiasco
Hellbent on besting Barack Obama at everything, Donald Trump began talking about his potential Nobel Peace Prize long...
Hellbent on besting Barack Obama at everything, Donald Trump began talking about his potential Nobel Peace Prize long before the date set for his summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. He heaped praise on the most repressive leader in the world -- "very honorable" were the words he used -- and the White House Military Office even issued a commemorative medal for the upcoming summit which, bizarrely, called Kim "Supreme Leader."
But Thursday, with a letter to Kim that is true to the cartoon nature of his personality, Trump cites "the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement" and canceled the peace talks in a fit of childish pique. This came after Vice President Mike Pence's threat that the North Korean government could be toppled as Libya's was if Kim didn't come to heel -- a threat that prompted a North Korean official to call Pence a "political dummy."
Rarely has a President shown himself to be more clueless than Trump in his handling of the Korean crisis. With his schoolboy taunts about "rocket man" and wild swings between threats and loving praise, Trump has acted true to form. To understand this one need only consider his previous record of negotiating in business.
As a New York real estate promoter, Trump habitually made outlandish statements and proposed projects he could never deliver. In one case he was going to build the tallest building in America on the Upper West Side of Manhattan. In another he insisted the big convention center named after longtime Sen. Jacob Javits of New York be named after his father, Fred Trump. Neither folly came to pass.
In politics, Trump's early endeavors were marked by similar bluster. He feuded with Mayor Ed Koch and criticized every president who occupied the White House from 1976 forward. As a young man, he talked openly of the amounts required to purchase the loyalties of lawmakers and even New York Gov. Hugh Carey. And in my interviews with him in 2014, he disparaged politicians as almost as dishonest as the press.
Trump's methods worked when there was little more than a property development or the next day's headlines at stake. But as he approached North Korea with the same technique, it became obvious he was out of his depth. As other parties manipulated him, Trump looked like the monkey-in-the-middle in a game of keep-away played in a schoolyard.
First the North Koreans, who had obviously made a deep study of Trump, provoked him with nuclear tests and missile launches. Going further than they had ever gone before, they were able to goad a gullible Trump into juvenile taunts and threats of "fire and fury." This behavior appalled people around the world and made Trump into an outlier in the diplomatic realm.
Having captured Trump's attention, the North Koreans then played their hand perfectly, courting the South Koreans and demonstrating to the world at the Winter Olympics that they could be warm-hearted members of the international community. Thus lulled into over-confidence, Trump made what he must have believed to be a brilliant overture for peace talks that would finally give Kim the legitimacy he craved. To seal the plan, he even sent Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to Pyongyang.
As Trump took crude steps toward the North Koreans, he alienated China with threats of a trade war. He also invited super hawk John Bolton into the White House as his national security adviser. Joining the crowd that intended to play Trump for their own purposes, Bolton immediately talked of how Kim could have the same experience as Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi, who gave up his nuclear weapons program only to be hunted down and killed during the Arab Spring.
It was Bolton's theme that Pence took up. When he reiterated it, the North Koreans decided enough was enough. They called Pence's remark "ignorant and stupid," and then Trump responded with his cancellation letter. It reads like a note sent to a potential business partner at the end of a broken partnership. It concludes:
"If you change your mind having to do with this most important summit, please do not hesitate to call me or write. The world, and North Korea in particular, has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace and great prosperity and wealth. This missed opportunity is a truly sad moment in history."
Trumpian in every way, the letter caps many months of amateurish effort and seems to indicate a man looking for an easy way out of finishing a job he was never prepared to do. Bolton and Pence got what they wanted by tying Trump to a hawkish approach. Kim got what he wanted by showing he could stand toe-to-toe with the American President and be recognized as a true leader. The South Koreans who tried to broker the summit demonstrated to their people they were working for peace, and China showed the world it could nudge Kim into a less belligerent posture.
Who lost? That's easy. Peace-loving people all over the world lost a chance at progress and Trump lost his shot at the Nobel.

Marion lives near the coast of Southern Victoria in Australia.
Marions says: This is the link to my work through my artists association Wildlife Art Society of Australasia
The love of nature enriches our lives and the price of that is an obligation. If those who say they love nature are not the ones who stand up and fight for its protection, who will?

We helped re-establish this remnant wetland, the Bald Hills Wetland Reserve in the 1980's. It's success as a refuge for wildlife, primarily wetland birds; as an educational tool for young people and as an experience as a wild-place surpassed all expectations. If constructed, turbines would be visible and audible from every part of the reserve.
My acrylic on canvas painting titled "Tresses at Bald Hills'' is a portrait of a water-loving rush, its beautiful rufous fronds rippling in the breeze. At least five turbines would be visible towering into the sky above. The farming community, the local council and naturalists have been fighting this proposal tooth and nail for almost a decade. It is the most controversial windfarm in Australia because of its predicted impact on endangered and migratory wildlife. The proponents of the wind industry the world over are vandals, prepared to trash the most treasured places.
We live along the coastal strip of the southern most part of the Australian mainland. Many of the subjects for my paintings are observed on walks along the beach. The albatross attracted my attention because of the absolute contrast between the dead and the living. Here the sand burying the contorted body with head thrown back and the angular extremes of wings collapsed like a broken umbrella, where out to sea the joyful, exquisite grace of the living birds skimming the waves.
"Floating in Colour", "Bull Kelp at the Edge of the Sea" and "Seaweed Smorgasbord" are part of an ongoing series called "Time and Tide", which draws its inspiration also from the waters edge. The cool waters along our coastal strip are some of the richest in the world for algae and their beauty and diversity provide me as an artist with an endless supply of subjects.
"Floating in Colour" reveals the luminescence of the buoyancy floats which hold a plant of brown algae up toward the sunlight.
"Bull Kelp at the Edge of the Sea" revels in the wonderful folds and rolls of this marine plant cast up after stormy weather. The widely despised Victorian government has plans to build the largest desalination plant in the Southern hemisphere close by. The environmental impact assessment and planning process for this desal. plant was a charade as it is for wind farms.
"Seaweed Smorgasbord" was accepted for exhibition in the prestigious Waterhouse exhibition in 2008.
The "Great Egret" captures a moment from one of those superb calm days when no turbine blade turns.
"The Kangaroo Paw" painting resulted from a brief trip to see the wildflowers of West Australia. We only scratched the surface and will have to return.

Birds at the Bald Hills site
There are over 280 species of birds in South Gippsland and many of these are found at Bald Hills or migrate through the area. Mitsui & Co Ltd of Japan has acquired the rights to construct the wind farm but we understand no final decision to proceed has yet been made.
The project was purchased because Mitsui believed it had widespread support but nothing could have been further from the truth. We are hopeful that Mitsui will respect its obligation to protect species listed in treaties between Australia and Japan and decide not to proceed with the project
The Orange-bellied Parrot is a Nationally Endangered species with less than 200 birds left in the wild, making it one of the rarest birds in the world. As a result this species is protected by National and State legislation and in a treaty with Japan. This parrot is recorded in habitats each side of the Bald Hills wind farm and connecting flights would take it through the wind farm site. As a result of a contrivance by the wind farm developer, and a media campaign showing contempt for protection of this species, the wind farm was given approval to proceed acknowledging that this species would be at risk. The Nationally Endangered Swift Parrot, the longest migrating parrot in the world, passes through the wind farm on migration between Tasmania and the mainland. The wind farm developers have approval to kill this species.
The Wedge-tailed Eagle is an iconic Australia eagle of up to 2.5 metre wing span that is closely related to the Golden Eagle. The wind farm company has unconditional approval to kill Wedge-tailed Eagles along with the many other raptors at risk. Two pairs of White-bellied Sea-eagles nest either side of the wind farm site. They are listed in a treaty between Australia and China as migratory and warranting protection, however the wind farm developer has been given approval including the right to kill this species.
The White-throated Needletail migrates between Asia and Australia each year and is protected by international treaties for the protection of migratory birds between Australia and Japan and Australia and China. The Bald Hills wind farm company acknowledged that at least 28 of these swifts would be killed each year and the company has been given unconditional approval by the government, in clear breach of the treaties, to kill this species. Many other birds protected by international treaties are also threatened by this wind farm as it provides a 9 kilometre line of turbines across the movement path of migratory birds.
Other paintings by Marion that were shown earlier on this website
The Brolga is a magnificent species of crane which throws grass into the air as it leaps, the whole group joining in this joyful dance. The menacing shadow is self explanatory.
Marion says that the Victorian government has approved a number of windfarms within the Brolga's territory. This work was exhibited in 2006 at the Bird Observation and Conservation of Australia gallery.
A raft of bubbles flowing across the surface of a rock-pool.
The rock-pool has a seaweed called Neptune's Necklace growing inside.
Each bubble contains a distorted cameo of the plant below.
The painting of this exquisite Brolga feather was inspired by the deafening silence by bird organisations everywhere on the continued slaughter of birds by wind turbines.
In Victoria, the grasslands, water holding depressions and wonderfully pock-marked volcanic outcrops of western Victoria are habitat for the once widespread Brolga and provide the backdrop for this feather. Around the four side edges of the canvas, printed in white on yellow are the words - No wind factories for Macarthur, Tuke, Waubra, Lexton, Lal Lal, Elain, Mt. Mercer, Stockyard Hill, Stony Rises, Glenthompson, Mt. Gellibrand, Nerrin Nerrin, Stoneleigh. Of the twenty or so proposals for wind factories in western Vic. thirteen are within the known range of the Brolga. In other countries Crane are victims of wind turbines and there is no reason to suggest that Australian Crane will not suffer the same fate
The painting was on show at the "Brilliant Birds" exhibition, July 2007 at the Wildlife Art Society's exhibition at the Bird Observation and Conservation of Australia Gallery.

Kingdom Studios Announces Upcoming Film Slate with Lionsgate
Announcement at Proclaim 19 Marks Unprecedented Slate Of Faith Films With Goal Of Releasing Two Movies Each Year
Kingdom Studios co-founder and acclaimed director Jon Erwin speaks to a packed crowd on March 27, 2019, during Proclaim 19, the NRB International Christian Media Convention in Anaheim, California.
ANAHEIM, Calif. (KINGDOM/NRB) – Kingdom Studios, founded late last year by the creators of I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, the sleeper hit and top grossing independent film of 2018, unveiled an unprecedented slate of faith-based film projects to be developed and produced by Kingdom and released through their recently announced partnership with global content leader Lionsgate (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B).
During a two-hour, keynote event held to formally reveal the studio slate at the National Religious Broadcasters' convention in Anaheim, Kingdom brought several special guests to the stage including the rousing Grammy Award-winning musical group for KING & COUNTRY; pastor Greg Laurie; #1 selling music artist Jeremy Camp, whose life story will be the focus of an upcoming Kingdom biopic; and a special taped message from Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chairman Joe Drake, among others.
"We are thrilled that Kingdom Studies announced its slate of new projects during Proclaim 19," said Troy Miller, NRB's executive vice president and COO. "They are an incredible group to work with, and The Erwin Brothers represent some of the most creative and brilliant talent in filmmaking today. The partnership with Kingdom demonstrates that there is no other place in the Christian world that has the platform of NRB to launch such an ambitious project. We look forward to working with Kingdom during our next two conventions as they roll out projects announced at Proclaim 19."
Kingdom Studios co-founders and acclaimed directors Jon Erwin and Andrew Erwin (I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, WOODLAWN) told the packed convention crowd that their new company was already ramping up production on the slate, developing much of the material in-house while also working with talented storytellers. They said their growing team is focused on developing and producing inspirational and aspirational family entertainment. Kingdom will deliver event movies for the faith audience with the goal of releasing two theatrical releases each year.
"The dream of Kingdom Studios is simple: to create a media company dedicated to telling life-changing stories by empowering incredible artists and creatives," said Jon Erwin.
"We are excited to partner with global content leader Lionsgate to make that dream a reality," said Kingdom Studio co-founder and producer Kevin Downes.
"Lionsgate is built on the very idea of delivering all audiences stories that inspire, uplift, and entertain. The films that Kingdom has unveiled today add an exciting new dimension to our already existing commitment and relationship within the faith community. Together, our unprecedented partnership will ensure these films have the full resources, strength, and support of our studio to amplify Kingdom's existing vision while reaching the widest possible audience globally," said Drake. "Jon, Andrew, and Kevin are filmmakers who are completely dedicated to their craft and have established a strong relationship with an audience by consistently delivering high quality films and doing it with an intimacy that is very special to witness. Lionsgate is beyond thrilled to work in partnership with this team and their company to help build from and expand that reach and message even further. Now more than ever is a time when we need films like these and a company like Kingdom."
Kingdom Studios co-founder and acclaimed director Andrew Erwin speaks to a packed crowd on March 27, 2019, during Proclaim 19, the NRB International Christian Media Convention in Anaheim, California.
The keynote marked the first time a studio-backed production company announced a slate of films it was producing for the faith audience.
The first film for Kingdom Studios, as previously announced, is I STILL BELIEVE. Scheduled for release on March 20, 2020, the inspirational drama chronicles the true-life story of Christian music mega-star Jeremy Camp. His remarkable journey of love and loss proves there is always hope in the midst of tragedy and that faith tested is the only faith worth sharing. The film is written by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, directed by The Erwin Brothers, and will be produced by Kevin Downes.
New films announced by Kingdom Studios include:
JESUS REVOLUTION,which tells the true story of a national spiritual awakening in the early 1970s and its origins within a community of teenaged hippies in Southern California. The film will be produced in association with pastor Greg Laurie. Written by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn, the film will be directed by Jon Gunn (THE CASE FOR CHRIST, LIKE DANDELION DUST), and produced by Kevin Downes and the Erwin Brothers.
Downes also introduced a trilogy of films inspired by the Bible that will create a new cinematic universe of Biblical stories. "The best-selling book of all time is the perfect source material for the most gripping character-driven cinematic universe ever undertaken," said Downes. The first film in the trilogy will be APOSTLES: RESURRECTION OF CHRIST. The film will be written by Jon Erwin and Jon Gunn and directed by The Erwin Brothers. Kevin Downes will produce.
To end the keynote, the team gave a sneak peek into a film that has just entered development. THE DRUMMER BOY is a period musical being developed in association with the faith-based musical group for KING & COUNTRY, the two-time Grammy Award winning duo who have garnered four No. 1 singles ("joy," "Priceless," "Fix My Eyes," and "Shoulders") and nine Top 10 hits, and had songs featured on the Emmys, Super Bowl, Sunday Night Football, and many other high-profile events, including performances on The Tonight Show, Today, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Introducing the film and the band, Andrew Erwin described the film as something "never seen before in the faith space that will surprise and delight audiences everywhere." The film is currently in the early stages of development and will be written and directed by the Smallbone Brothers, co-written by Richard Ramsey (The Song), and produced by Kevin Downes and The Erwin Brothers. Luke Smallbone will serve as an executive producer.
Kingdom Studios' executives include Jon Erwin, Andy Erwin, Kevin Downes (the trio that has created films such as I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, WOODLAWN, STEVE MCQUEEN: AMERICAN ICON) and Tony Young (I CAN ONLY IMAGINE, THE SONG). Kingdom Studios has operations in both Los Angeles and Nashville.

Celso Machado is Vancouver's local treasure. Originally from Brazil, Celso has performed and taught worldwide for over thirty years. He has shared the stage with such guitar legends as the Assad brothers, Yamandu Costa, and Al Di Meola. Celso's passion and thorough knowledge of traditional music of Brazil and classical guitar are reflected in his unique composition and performance style. His solo and ensemble pieces are well known and loved all over the globe. In addition, Celso is a great communicator and easily connects with audiences of any age and size. Celso performed for VCGS for the first time in 2011, and we are excited and to have him back on February 6th, 2016.
Natasha Pashchenko, VCGS representative: Celso, you play a multitude of instruments. When I last saw you perform, I believe you played a frying pan. What are some of your favourites?
Celso Machado: Was the frying pan full or empty when I was playing it? (laughs). Classical guitar is my main instrument. I also play the kora, an African string instrument. I play lots of traditional string instruments, a few kinds of flutes including the Middle Eastern bamboo flute called the ney. Some of these flutes require a technique called circular breathing where one has to breathe in through the nose while breathing out through the mouth to keep the sound going.
I play a variety of percussion instruments: drums, tambourines, etc. In particular, I enjoy the big Italian tambourine called the tamburello. It is used for such Italian dances as the tarantella and the tammurriata. I also play the pandeiro (Brazilian tambourine), which is used for samba and other traditional Brazilian rhythms. For samba I also use surdo, agogô, and various shakers.
NP: What household items would make a decent orchestra? Something the whole family can play?
CM: No doubt! Say, you are in the kitchen cooking something, and the side of your stove has such a lovely bass sound. If a Brazilian hears a sound like that, he will search the kitchen for a different, higher sound that would complement it nicely. That's how you orchestrate. It's just like cooking a dish – you have to balance the ingredients. You experiment to choose which ones go well together.
NP: Do you think everyone has an intuition for this kind of balance?
CM: Good question. You may not have it naturally, but you can definitely develop it by being in the right environment day by day. In Canada, it may be not so easy. Compare everyday life in Canada to everyday life in Brazil or Cuba, or Spain where you hear flamenco every day. There you will inevitably develop your musical intuition and any relevant skills, because you become part of the musical culture.
NP: What is Canada's day to day musical culture? What is Canada's "rhythm" like?
CM: A bit boring sometimes! (laughs) Too much attention is paid to what's popular, what's at the top of the charts. I always have a sense of who's going to appear at the top, and I know it's unlikely to be me, because that's not the kind of music I am putting out there. The everyday music culture in Canada are the radio and the TV. However, the world music category does offer some recognition to artists who don't play pop music.
One day I went to Penticton and met an amazing acoustic guitarist, amazing. We could easily play and improvise Brazilian music together. Where did he come from, and how is he in Penticton and no one knows him? He discovered his own style and he is a gem, but you are not going to see someone like him in the media or in the charts. That is because people like this don't try to get attention of the media. And you can discover people like that everywhere you go.
I have a Canadian friend, Liam MacDonald, another outstanding musician who plays Brazilian percussion (pandeiro). He is so dedicated and loves what he does so much that he sounds completely Brazilian.
NP: What was your childhood like? What kind of music did you make?
CM: My childhood was quite nice, I played outside lots. My friends and I pretended that we were in a marching band. We would come out with pot covers and march around practicing the samba rhythm.
We have a samba school in Brazil, which basically means percussion groups on the streets during the carnival playing samba. Every town in Brazil has three or four samba groups that compete during the carnival. This is how I discovered samba. My cousin was the director of a big samba school, so as a seven year old child, I played with them. Even though it's called a "school", they don't really teach you to play. The samba starts, and you just play. No one shows you anything, you have to feel it. And if you don't, they kick you out. I played the frying pan the whole time while others played shakers. During the rehearsals, I always had to keep my eye on the leader. One must start and end at the same time. If everyone stops and you continue, you are risking your life. You get a strict look at best, or you get kicked out. I had a lot of fun going to the carnival and playing with my samba band. That's all a child needs, to enjoy and have fun!
I remember also liking to play on my face as a kid. That's called body percussion.
NP: Did you have traditional guitar education? What teachers did you learn from?
CM: Everyone in my family plays guitar. My father was a musician and my eldest brother is a guitarist. My eldest brother Benedito taught the others. The next eldest brother didn't become a musician but a soccer coach. The third brother is a percussionist. The one closest to me by age is Filo Machado. He currently plays with his grandson Felipe Machado, and they do some amazing things together! I recommend you to look them up online. Filo taught me some chords on the guitar, and I taught my youngest brother Carlinhos Machado. Six brothers, and five are musicians! My mother could play percussion too, by the way.
NP: Did you ever have a teacher that was a non-family member who taught you technique, harmony etc.?
CM: Yes, and more than one teacher. When I was starting to play classical guitar, I played everything with the right hand thumb and didn't use any fingers. And all of a sudden I was told I could use all my fingers! I played the famous Spanish Romance, it was my big hit. I used to listen to records and learn music by ear, because I didn't know how to read music. That was when I lived in the interior of Brazil. When I moved to São Paulo, I started to read little by little. My teacher there was Oscar Magalhães Guerra. He made me begin from level zero and was very rigid about technique. I always had to play the melody apoyando (rest stroke) for clarity. And he never let me change my hand position. Also I remember that he had a student of the same age as me, an amazing classical guitarist. That student became a pilot in the end, but for me he was the best classical guitarist.
By the way, my teacher Oscar was a great fan of Barrios. He left me some of his manuscripts in a book that no one had seen before. He was truly an expert on Barrios, and he knew someone in São Paulo who had quite a few manuscripts and eventually gave them to a publisher in São Paulo. Those were artist approved manuscripts on special paper.
My other teachers were Luis Brandini and Watson Brito.
NP: Did you practice every day?
CM: Yes, about eight hours a day! All day long, really. Everything was new and exciting to me, and I liked discovering things. At some point I remember playing everything very fast. And this is the trend I am noticing nowadays as well, and it is happening globally. Important things are missing from many guitarists' playing. A lot of them have amazing technique but I am missing so much the heart and the beautiful sound that are characteristic of Brazilian pieces, for example. That's the sound of the guitar for me, and I rarely hear it nowadays. I hear a lot of rushing and technique.
NP: And how do we address this issue?
CM: Good question. I guess it's up to you once you graduate, to choose what kind of guitarist and musician you want to be when you put yourself out in the big world.
The young generation goes to concerts to specifically see how fast you can play a piece, because they saw this kind of thing on Youtube and now want to compare. A lot of performers nowadays trade grace and beauty for speed.
It's important to pick your repertoire carefully and responsibly. You can choose any style, folk or classical, etc., but it's important that you don't play too much of the same thing. Villa-Lobos is a wonderful composer, but playing a whole concert of only Villa-Lobos won't do your audience any good. Build your program in a balanced way, so there are pieces of contrasting characters and tempos.
You come on the stage and look at the audience. Who do you see? A variety of people: kids, the elderly, your grandmother, your neighbour. You don't need to worry about pleasing them with speed. Your grandma doesn't care how fast you are, she has come to enjoy the music. My neighbour is an electrician and I invite him to come to the concert. What does he want to hear? Some beautiful music! Are you going to show off by being a virtuoso? You want to go out there and share your heart and music with every single person in the audience.
Coming back to the issue of speed – such composers as Barrios, Albeniz, Granados, are now being played much faster than it is intended. That's why when I write music, I put in metronome markings in addition to the term denoting the tempo. If I simply put Allegro, for example, some players will take it at Prestissimo (fastest possible), because it is their perceived Allegro. Otherwise, I never put too much information on my music in order to leave space for the player's interpretation and creativity.
To play someone's composition is like driving a car. All the road signs are there: stop here, slow down here, school zone there. If you don't follow the signs, you get a ticket!
NP: In your opinion, what is Canadian guitar education like? What do you think about its academic standards in the field of music?
CM: It is true that the Canadian music education system is very strongly developed academically. Examinations, diplomas, degrees. I think that in the first place, students must consider the audience they intend to play for. Not the examiner, surely! For the great Leo Brouwer, perhaps? At the exam, one must play everything technically appropriately in order to pass, and often this kind of attitude dominates over musical emotion and phrasing. But a student's attitude and learning style depend largely on the teacher. Some teachers are incredibly strict in their demands and expectations and are unbelievably subjective. Once I was showing a piece of mine, Parazula, to someone of that mentality. Instead of tuning down the 6th string from E to D, I tuned down the 1st string to D, because the music required it. He asked me who I thought was going to play that, and advised to return to the traditional tuning in order not to confuse the performer. I wonder what he would say to Domeniconi's pieces where all six strings are tuned differently from normal!
So I always encourage students and teachers to be open to new techniques and methods, especially if you know what you want to achieve in a piece. It is great to do research about different instruments and styles, and develop your own individual style.
NP: How can we help musicians open their minds? Do you think improvisation is important?
CM: Improvisation - not necessarily. Not everyone is good at improvising, and we don't have to be! All you need to do is come up with beautiful repertoire that the public will understand and appreciate. There are so many lovely South American pieces from Brazil, Venezuela, Argentina, Peru: Cardoso, Barrios, Lauro – huge repertoire for classical guitar. No show off there, just play from your heart.
To add regarding guitar education, I think there is currently far too much pressure on music students due to increasingly high requirements for technique and volume of musical material, in order to get into a school or earn a diploma or a degree. For example, to enter the Paris Conservatoire is incredibly difficult, because there are not many spots available. Trying to get to study with their pedagogue of choice, the students work insanely hard, and often the musicality suffers because of that. They forget what it was that made them want to learn guitar in the first place. Do they want to teach at a certain school? Do they want a certain job? I didn't go to a formal guitar school, and I believe that playing the guitar must bring joy, excitement, and inspiration. This is something so personal and emotional when you have an instrument under your fingers. This connection is delicate and cannot be developed by force. If you neglect this connection, various physical and emotional issues may occur, such as muscle injuries or depression.
NP: What are you working on right now? Are you planning a new CD in the near future?
Yes, I am constantly recording new pieces in my studio. I have a software that allows me to make multi-track recordingss. I take my time and do things slowly, learning to master my own music. I use lots of percussion, and I love to write for guitar, guitar with voice, and other instruments. There is also a piece that I composed where I try to imitate the kora on the guitar. For that I use a right hand position that looks like a bit like the lute hand position. If you use the standard classical position you can't achieve the proper kora sound.
When I compose for flute or violin, I like it when the musician is beside me. You need to know the articulation of the instrument you are using and you need to be able to explain to the musician what articulation and phrasing you need in your piece. I don't play violin or silver flute, trumpet or piano, but I know how they articulate in order to phrase my music.
NP: What inspires you to compose? How do ideas come to you?
CM: Ideas come to me all the time and everywhere. Normally, I need an instrument with me to start composing, but not necessarily. Sometimes I will hum a tune while walking, but what's really important is to write down or record at least the beginning as soon as I can. Often I record a phrase and later change and modify it, and develop new ideas out of it.
Nature inspires me a lot, and I love it here in Canada where nature is so beautiful.
NP: What is your teaching style like?
CM: I normally teach groups of approximately the same level and never mix levels. It is important to me that all the participants are comfortable and can enjoy making the music together. I don't like the idea of a master class where you are alone in front of everyone – it is very intimidating! Besides, the audience can't take part in the process.
I teach adults and kids the same way, adults are just a little faster learning the notes. But rhythms are what's really important. I don't use music notation in my workshops. I have my own system of symbols for bass notes, top notes of the chords, and rests. It's very simple and works very well for everyone. I teach the participants a couple of chord shapes, and then they easily read the rhythms I put on the board.
Teaching children is tricky, especially when their everyday culture is full of distractions and leaves little room for learning an instrument. In Brazil or Spain it is barely an issue. Learning melodies and songs and playing for everyone out there is a normal thing, a lifestyle. As you are sitting on the veranda playing and singing, anyone from the street can come up and ask you to play a song, or even half a song. Something like this is unlikely to happen in Canada.
Being a guitarist nowadays is a lonely path. You are normally alone on stage and alone when you are learning. It is true that you can discover so many things when you are lonely, it brings up a lot of your problems but at the same time, solitude is great for inspiration and composing. Being lonely a lot is hard, that's why learning guitar in a group with other people is more exciting.
NP: Are your own kids pursuing musical studies? Is it natural for them to sing and play at home?
CM: My fourteen year old daughter loves to dance among other things, and my sixteen year old son plays a bit of bass guitar and also likes soccer and making videos.
NP: What are your favourite music styles prior to 20th century?
CM: I love the Renaissance style as well as Baroque. Most of all, I like John Dowland, because I feel connected with his music. I also much respect and enjoy Narvaez, Luiz Milan, and the Italian and French Baroque composers. This music takes you away and gives you exactly what you need at the moment. If you are broken-hearted or lonely, it gives you consolation. Your partner would be jealous of this music, because it is able to give you so much and help you understand yourself. It truly is with you like a kind companion, and it really puts you in touch with your feelings. So, if you are ever feeling down, Dowland is the recipe.
JS Bach, for example, is much more complex and contrapuntal, and requires much more skill. To execute a certain piece can be hard due to its length. But Bach stays with you for life once you understand his music. However, I feel more connected with the Renaissance. There is more freedom of interpretation.
NP: What culture or cultures of the world do you feel most connected to, besides your own?
CM: Definitely France and Italy, Morocco and many parts of the African continent. In Europe in general the architecture, the art style, the history, are the things that speak to me. You can discover so much when you are travelling, especially in small places, the countryside. I love the landscapes of the countryside and its people, they are so inspiring. No one is rushing anywhere, and changes happen very slowly. It's a trend now to destroy things to make room for new things. I like it when I can see the history. I speak French and Italian and spend most of my time there; for me France is the centre of Europe. There I find so many things I can relate to; it's my home as well, part of my life.
The Canadian culture is a delicate topic, because it's hard to pinpoint what the culture is here, with the native people and all those people who come to Canada from all over the world. It's an impressive mixture. I suspect that even the Canadians themselves are not sure what their culture is. I love Canada and the beautiful Gibsons where I live. I love the people here, and I love to share a part of me with them. When I am in Canada, I am definitely Canadian.
NP: What are the most important skills for a musician to have? What different audiences have you encountered as a performing artist? And what is the purpose of music in general, in your view?
CM: To understand that performance is about the people and know how to communicate it. For me it is definitely about the people and not even so much about Brazilian music. Do you know the word saudade? It is thought of as sadness, but it isn't sadness. It's a longing, like when you are missing someone. I try to bring my saudade to the people I play for. The music is about them, about my neighbour, anyone in the world. I always encourage my audience to make music with me, to sing along. They don't need to sit and do nothing.
I have a friend who is a French artist, a comedian. He says that on some nights, the audience has no talent! Some nights you do everything you possibly can, and they still don't respond. You can even dance in front of them, but if they don't want to do it, they don't want to do it. The audience can be a bit lazy at first: someone will sit in the front row, legs crossed, taking a nap. Many are very shy in the beginning, but by the end they usually warm up and even want an encore.
It is also very important to understand the venue and the atmosphere you are playing in and choose the style and the program accordingly. In a club full of people drinking I wouldn't risk playing a prelude by Villa-Lobos.
The purpose of music is in the emotion you bring to the people, in how you make them feel. It is being connected to your body, to your instrument. It is the joy of being yourself and sharing the music you love with people around you. Every time I play for an audience, I have huge fun!

Thumbs up for JaRIA awards - Ibo urges more support
Published:Tuesday | February 27, 2018 | 12:00 AMShereita Grizzle/Gleaner Writer
Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport.
Dr Donna Hope
Chairman of the Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA), Ibo Cooper.
The Jamaica Reggae Industry Association (JaRIA) was given two thumbs up on Sunday night for what guests dubbed a well-executed evening of excellence at their annual awards ceremony.
The JaRIA awards are held annually to celebrate the contribution of some of Jamaica's most outstanding music professionals, past and present.
Oftentimes referred to as the 'Jamaican Grammys', the ceremony held at the Courtleigh Auditorium in New Kingston. There was no physical red carpet, but the fanfare usually associated with an evening of musical excellence was ever present.
Awardees and their guests donned their Sunday best as they came out in their numbers to support the event that has continued to recognise the work of the men and women in the local industry. Pointing out that the event has improved significantly over the years, several individuals, including the Minister of Culture Olivia 'Babsy' Grange, congratulated JaRIA for keeping the awards going even in difficult times.
Minister Grange, who was being honoured with a Lifetime Achievement award for her dedication to the music industry, said the industry has come a far way, and credited organisations such as JaRIA for their work in ensuring that the reggae legacy is maintained.
"This is an industry that has come a very long way. We've had a lot of sacrifices from individuals who have passed, who have contributed, some are still with us, and we have to recognise them at events like these," she said. "I want the young people to give a round of applause for the veterans and the pioneers, those who keep going to ensure that reggae music keep going."
Similar sentiments were shared by Dr Donna Hope, who was accepting the award for Iconic Male Artiste in the Industry on behalf of Burning Spear.
In her address, Dr Hope applauded JaRIA for continuing its recognition of what she describes as the richest part of our culture.
"One of the richest parts of our heritage, the richest part of our culture, is the music, and we have to recognise as we stand here tonight, celebrating with JaRIA and the music industry ... that we understand how important Jamaican music is across the world," she said.
Having heard individuals express how much the ceremony means to Jamaica, Ibo Cooper used the opportunity to plea with Jamaicans who have not already joined the organisation, to do so. Lamenting that it is a struggle each year to execute the events in reggae month, Cooper expressed that in order for the celebrations to continue, the organisation needs financial support.
"I want to take time out to thank every person who has been on the JaRIA board and on the various committees over the last nine
years, because they are unpaid volunteers who selflessly helped to brand Reggae Month on the international stage," he said.
"Over the years, the industry has had a love-hate relationship with itself. People speak of JaRIA as another person, but JaRIA is not Ibo or Freddie or Junior or Charles. JaRIA is the whole industry ... . We love criticise JaRIA and say 'dem man deh', ... when, if we just made a small contribution, a lot of the errors that we criticise could be fixed, because we would have personnel and resources to do the things. I'm making an impassioned plea to you please, be JaRIA members, you don't have to come to any meeting ... but help the organisation to help the industry," he urged.

Editorial Taurus (Madrid, 1954-). Fruit of the friendship between Rafael Gutiérrez Girardot and Francisco Pérez González, in 1954, together with Miguel Sánchez López, they founded the Taurus publishing house. A year later, the company would consolidate as a public limited company with José Antonio Carranza Alonso as president. The creation of this young publishing house was favored by the reforms in the field of education and culture promoted by Joaquín Ruiz-Giménez, Minister of National Education since July 1951, whom Antonio Lago Carballo describes as a "liberal and dialoguing spirit". "(2004: 13). However, this opening trend was undermined by the performance of Gabriel Arias Salgado, Minister of Information and Tourism, who was responsible for the censorship of books and newspapers.
