HARD DRIVERS feat VIVIAN LEE
Since I Was A Little Girl (7")
Cat: ATH 040. Rel: 23 Feb 17
Since I Was A Little Girl (3:33)
Straight Talk (3:28)
Review: For their latest dive into the depths of funk history, Athens of the North travels back to 1978 and the debut of John Hawes and Velma Bunch's obscure Hard Drivers project. The record initially appeared on Hawes' own short-lived imprint, and his since become a sought after 7" amongst serious collectors. "Since I Was A Little Girl" is a disco-era funk gem, with guest singer Vivian Lee providing a brilliantly confident vocal to compliment Hawes and Bunch's driving, horn-heavy backing track. On the flip you'll find original B-side "Straight Talk", a touching torch song full of harmony backing vocals, impassioned builds, and lyrics capable of melting even the stoniest of hearts.

I Can't Get Along Without You (6:37)
I Can't Get Along Without You (instrumental) (6:36)
Review: Kalita has already served up some seriously good reissues, but their latest may well be the most essential yet. It's the first licensed reissue of Vance and Suzzanne's sole single from 1980, "I Can't Get Along Without You" - a Larry Levan favourite that was only ever pressed in small quantities first time around. In it's A-side vocal form, the track is a deliciously warm and loved-up duet that mixes rich, mid-tempo New York disco grooves with some of the heady, glassy-eyed musicality of Philadelphia soul. It's genuinely magical - a super-sweet cut that sounds like end-of-night gold. Like the original 1980 private pressing on Vanton Records, the Kalita edition is backed by the similarly sweet, atmospheric Instrumental Mix, but this time we're also treated to a never-before-seen press photo, and extensive interview-based liner notes.

Barely Breaking Even (Louie Vega Boogie mix - radio edit) (3:33)
Barely Breaking Even (Louie Vega Boogie instrumental mix - radio edit) (3:31)
Review: Here's something to set the pulse racing: an all-star re-recording of Universal Robot Band's boogie classic "Barely Breaking Even" that brings together Masters At Work man Louie Vega, original vocalist and arranger Leroy Burgess, iconic disco producer Patrick Adams and an impressive backing band of hired musicians including Michael Kelley (better known in electronic music circles as Metro Area collaborator Kelley Polar). While there are plenty of audible nods towards the early '80s original - extensive use of cowbells, that oh-so familiar synth sound - the re-recording is altogether warmer, fuller and a more contemporary sounding affair rich in sweeping orchestration and tactile synth bass. Both the edited vocal and instrumental versions are superb.

Discodelic
Cat: DSC 001ORANGE. Rel: 16 Dec 20
Via Libre - "Chi Chi "Mentira"" (3:42)
Grupo Amigos - "La Gir Del Diablo" (3:25)
Review: The debut release from the freshly-minted Discodelic label offers up two exceedingly rare - and rather fine - "funky Latin" cover versions from the glory years of hallucinatory funk and soul. Side A sports Via Libre's flash-fried samba-funk cover of Marcos Valle's "Chi Chi Mentira", a heady re-imagination rich in Hammond organ stabs, undulating Latin percussion, groovy bass and a percussive middle section just tailor-made for DJs who like doubling up breaks. Over on the fiip you'll find something even heavier: Grupo Amigos' celebratory, organ-heavy funk-rock take on Trio Ternura's "La Gir Del Diablo", a song that was later famously turned into an international hit by Astrud Gilberto as "Black Magic (A Gira)".

Cool Sound Of Everything: Chillin' Around Xmas (7" limited to 250 copies)
Cat: FNR 175. Rel: 21 Dec 20
Meeting At Flea Market (3:40)
Shades Of Pale (3:35)
Review: While most of us will (sadly) not be going anywhere this holiday season, we can still get a musical taster of what it would be like Chilling at Christmas in the St Petersburg studio of modern funk apostles the Vicious Seeds. Their festive offering is a drowsy, deep, slow and laidback affair - the kind of jazzy instrumental soul and funk that would probably go well with a few mince pies and a needlessly large glass of port. A-side 'Meeting at Flea Market' is particularly lovely, with trombone and trumpet-heavy riffs and leisurely jazz guitar solos making themselves comfortable atop crunchy, deep (filled) funk drums. 'Shades of Pale', meanwhile, is even deeper, warmer and more bass-heavy, with some of the laziest and jazziest electric guitar solos we've ever heard. Delicious!

Soul Brother
Cat: SB 7029. Rel: 26 Jul 17
Cashing In (2:19)
Take A Stand (3:11)
Review: The Voices Of East Harlem were an ensemble of vocalists who for Just Sunshine Records recorded two albums under the direction of Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield. "Cashing In" is one of their most classic songs, a highly sought after track on original 7" fetches a small fortune on the collectors market. First recorded and released in 1973, it has all the hallmarks of a Leroy Hutson composition and an established audience that crosses the boundaries of northern, crossover and modern soul. The song is coupled here with "Take A Stand', another highly regarded and sought after modern soul room dance floor tracks, never previously released on 7" single until now

Wanted Dead Or Alive (7")
Cat: SB 7039. Rel: 29 Oct 19
Wanted Dead Or Alive (3:27)
Can You Feel It (3:06)
Review: Produced by Leroy Hutson and Curtis Mayfield, released by Just Sunshine Records, over the course of five years, the community-based collective Voices Of East Harlem blessed the world with three albums and a whole string of funky singles, including these two cult tracks. "Wanted Dead Or Alive" is straight up funk with a strong splash of gospel. One of their most popular cuts, it was taken from their 1973 self-titled album. "Can You Feel It" on the B offers much more of a rare groove and funk vibe with keys and some powerful backing vocals. It still sounds as fresh as it did 45 years ago. You feeling it?

VOILAAA
Spies Are Watching Me (12")
Favorite France
Cat: FVR 106. Rel: 24 Nov 17
Spies Are Watching Me (7:15)
Le Disco Des Capitales (6:45)
Review: Sounds like it came out of Lagos in 1971, actually written and recorded in Lyon in 2015: Voilaaa is the brainchild of Bruno Hovart whose long relationship with Favorite goes way back to his days as Patchworks, Mr President and The Dynamics. Recording on a whole host of vintage machines and calling upon local African singers both cuts have a real authentic sense of realness; "Spies Are Watching Me" drives with big horns and swooning strings which isn't dissimilar to the work of The Movers, while the TY Boys-esque "Le Disco Des Capitales" is a heavier, more concentrated slab of floor-minded disco where the groove takes more of a forefront role. Apparently there's a whole album of this cooking... We can't wait to hear it.

Review: Capturing the essence and feels of the long-standing event he runs in his Swiss hometown of Lausanne, veteran digger and selector Attias presents a brand new compendium of sweet compositions that sum up he's at creatively and spiritually. Gems on gems on gems: highlights that we guarantee will appeal to your good tastes and dancefloor include the hypnotic vibraphone wash of Cro-Magnon's "Midnight Magic", the slept-on jittering funk of Tatham, Mensah, Lord & Ranks's "Cascade" and Material and Nona Hendrix's ludicrously funky, ultimately sleazy slinker "Over & Over". We suspect you'll be playing this record over and over, too...

Review: The unstoppable Get On Down label doesn't like to discriminate between genres, and through the years they've put out a wide breadth of material from hip-hop, soul and funk artists alike. What we have here is the marvellous fourth instalment of the Get On Down With James Brown series, live at the mythical Apollo, and that means a fully-loaded James Brown experience alongside other big-hitters such as The JB's, Lyn Collins and Bobby Bird. You know the score, this is the hit you need. Get Upp-ah!

Review: Dam Funk has been foundational in crystallising Stones Throw's undisputed leadership in the nu-school funk and boogie scene, and he's up there with the great J Dilla in our books. Naturally, he's been asked to mix up the latest series of DJ Kicks and, ladies and gentlemen, it's a real masterclass - one of those comps you can safely leave on and let it do its thing on you. The mood is personified by a fine blend of electronics and tougher, funkier rhythms by artists such as Index, Moon B, and Dam himself. There are also a few rare cuts by Chicago house legend Gemini that fit in perfectly, and a whole heap of wavy, Cali-inspired electronic funk. Badass.

Review: It would be fair to say that Bristolian selector Andy Smith has extremely deep crates. It's for this reason that he's been responsible for tons of killer compilations over the years. This one, the second in his disco, boogie and proto-house focused "Reach Up" series, is another gem. It cheerily moves between disco old and new, mixing tried-and-tested classic cuts from the likes of the New Jersey Connection, Ted Taylor, Chain Reaction and The Gibson Brothers with more recent retro-futurist cuts (see his subtly house-friendly re-edit of Will Session and Amp Fiddler's superb "Lost Without You" and Full Intention and Nick Reach Up's modern electrofunk treat "Night of My Life"). While confirmed disco enthusiasts may own some of the tracks already, there's enough lesser known goodness to make the compilation an essential purchase.

Review: Here's something to seriously set the pulse racing: a limited-edition quintuple "Brazil 45s" boxset curated by the effervescent DJ Format, and featuring ten tracks unearthed on his most recent crate-digging trip to South America. In keeping with his much-loved style, most of the material can be loosely described as "psyche break-beat", all of which was initially recorded and released in the 1960s and '70s. That means a blend of hallucinatory Brazilian funk and soul rich in sweaty, often densely layered drums, booming basslines, trippy vocals, eccentric production, mazy Hammond organ lines and rousing horns. The quality bar is set so high that picking individual highlights is tough; suffice to say, you need all ten tunes in your life (and in your record box).

With gems hidden around every corner, even the most ardent of collectors will find many things to love right here.

Review: DJ Spinna is known for many things; his productions, sublime DJ mixes and many a hip hop classic as half of Jigmastas. He's also a complete Stevie Wonder obsessive who runs a popular Stevie-themed club night called Wonderful. A series of albums that expand on the party's concept was a logical next step and The Wonder Of Stevie now arrives at a third volume. This edition has clearly been painstakingly curated by Spinna and BBE, consisting of other people's covers of the man's work. Highlights include sweet and sugary 'Buttercup" by The Jackson 5, the bluesy honky tonk jam "It's My Pleasure" by Billy Preston and Quincy Jones' pure liquid funk version of "Betcha' Wouldn't Hurt Me".

Review: Some compilations manage to both educate, inform and educate in equal measure; this fine collection from Japanese crate diggers DJ Yoshizawa Dynamite and Chintam is one such set. Comprising mostly little-known tracks recorded by Japanese artists between 1968 and '70, it offers up a wealth of cuts inspired by American jazz-funk "rare groove". There's much to admire across the ten tracks, from the mazy Rhodes solos, fizzing big band jazz grooves and traditional Eastern instrumentation of Toshiko Yonekawa's "Soran Bushi", and the languidly-slung brilliance of Tadaki Misago and Tokyo Cuban Boys' multi-faceted musical fusion "Jongara Reggae", to the Jimi Hendrix-goes-funk heaviness of "Incitation" by Monica Lassen & The Sounds, and the drums-driven dancefloor madness of Masahiko Sato Jiro Inagaki & Big Soul Media's "Sniper's Snooze". Recommended.

Review: Long running and iconic mix series Back to Mine has got a huge coup for this one, with big beat maestro Fatboy Slim stepping up. As always, he invites you deep into his own personal musical world, offering up a view at the far reaches of his record collection. It's a worldly mix for sure, with scorching dub open things up and rolling reggae rhythms keeping you in a deep groove until the soaring strings and jazz-funk fusion of 'The Pink Panther Theme' changes up the mood. Elsewhere there is blue eyed soul, late night folk and low key Americana as well as the original source of one of his most famous samples on 'Take Yo Praise' that all makes for a lovely and intimate vibe.

Suppliers to the likes of Kenny Dope, Phil Asher and Dimitri, Gino and Federico have carved their crate craft to insane levels over the last 30+ years... As shown on this detailed, widescreen boogie, funk and disco collection for BBC. Splattering the vibrant collection with a handful of their own edits (TB Funk's salubrious struts on "Free Blow", fly-by boogie falsettos on Living Color's "Plastic People"), the Grasso bro's have put together a package that's eye-opening, enlightening and damn fine to party to. See you on the other side.

Review: Curated as part of the iconic street artist's Tate exhibition this year, The World Of Keith Haring unites many of the talented souls Keith knew, or was inspired by, during his prolific rise as one of the most vital cultural spokesmen through the 70s and 80s. Soundtracking the gritty downtown NYC streets he made his first mark on, this limited collection captures the whole melting pot from b-boy culture with cuts such as "E.T Boogie" and "Bump N Grind", raw boogie and soul ("Over & Over") and pure drama ("The Guardian Angel Is Watching Over Us"). A powerful collection as striking and relatable as his own signature.

Review: This special 7" boxset Motown State of Mind is a collection of Motown classics remixed by the legendary rapper, producer and member of D.I.T.C., Lord Finesse. The first two tracks tackle the one time King of Pop, while the undisputed soul god that is Marvin Gaye then gets some special treatment with an Underboss remix of "I Want You." The smooth grooves continue on DeBarge's "I Like It" (Soul Synopsis mix), which is pure sultry and steamy gold. Elsewhere Eddie Kendricks - "Body Talk" (TBG mix) is a string laced and slow motion disco funk gem and Sister of Love and Jackson 5 also get some careful treatment.

Review: For those intrigued by the distinctively Gallic but authentically American-sounding world of French disco-boogie, Charles Maurice's ongoing compilation series should be essential listening. Here he serves up a third instalment that's every bit as good as its' acclaimed predecessors. Highlights naturally come thick and fast throughout, from the mid-80s dreaminess of Maya's undeniably Balearic "Lait De Coco (Dub)" and the Brenda Taylor-ish bounce of Judy Carter's brilliant "Listen to the Music", to the Leroy Burgess style piano stabs and Patrick Adams-ish disco production of Caramel's "L'Amour Toujours L'Amour". Oh, and the late night radio warmth of NST Cophies' "Segregation", a sweet, undulating workout that will no doubt find favour with Balearic selectors.

Review: Discomatin co-founder and all-round Parisian selector don Saint James co-launches his new Chuwanaga label with this expertly curated compilation. In The Red is a deep dive into the exciting funk fusion coming out of London between 1980-83 as a new movement of black British musicians honed a sound that owes as much to soundsystem culture as it does disco. From the glistening instrumental flare of Index to the lavish synths and slap bass of Equa, this captures a unique and currently under-documented moment in groove history. Complete with detailed liner notes, this is a fantastic way to launch a new label. Not to be slept on.

Review: In recent years, more and more crate diggers have been exploring "Brit-funk" - a previously largely overlooked British variant of jazz-funk popular in underground UK clubs between the late 1970s and mid '80s. One such digger is Parisian producer and DJ Saint-James, who here presents his second deep dive into the obscure genre. Highlights come thick and fast throughout, from the percussive, synth-heavy soul brilliance of Stikki Stuff's "School" and the pre-Lover's Rock, reggae-influenced electrofunk smoothness of Cruzial's "Send Me Your Love", to the killer slap bass of The Breakfast Band's club-rocker "Funksters" and the sparkling boogie badness of "Keep On Searching For Love" by Scratch (Gonzalez).

KEPCO has developed an environmental monitoring system that monitors changes in the environment around offshore wind farms for the first time in Korea, a KEPCO spokesman said on March.
It has been also applying the system to the actual sites for offshore wind power in the southwestern sea from February 2019. The environment monitoring system developed by KEPRI, a corporate R&D subsidiary of KEPCO, is a system that utilizes radar, sound detectors and unmanned ships to observe environmental information such as waves, currents, weather conditions and water quality within a radius of 4km and utilize observed information to operate wind farms.
The above collected information is important data related to the life of the wind power generator, which enables stable and economical operation of the offshore wind farm.
Until now, the observation work of marine wind farms has been carried out by humans on site, but the safety of the surveyors has been secured due to unmanned observation activities, the spokesman said.
Kim Suk-cheol, president of KEPRI, said, "KEPCO is planning to efficiently implement the operation of wind resources through the monitoring system that it has developed, and we expect it to contribute to the construction of new wind farms in Korea."


Applying The Veneer. Applying the veneer is a simple but time consuming. Let me give you as many pointers as I can to aid you in this method. You will have to cut the veneer to fit it to your curio cabinet face frame and wooden box end panels. This is quite straightforward, measure the pieces you should have and cut them to fit in. One of the best ways to cut veneer is with a good sharp utility silverware and a metal heterosexual edge. You will want to use a sacrificial sheet of plywood or perhaps mdf under your cutting. When ever cutting for the face frame pieces of your cabinets usually try to be as exact as possible so you do not have to trim the veneer when it is added to the cabinets, its ok if it's a 1/32 half inch over and you have use a engine block plane or a sanding section to fine tune it, no more than that you will have to try to cut it clean and that can cause problems, so trustworthiness is important here. Once you have all the cabinet face frames and ends covered you can begin installing your new cabinet doors.

Baltimore leaders continue to combat violence as homicide rate nears 300
City has 299 homicide in 2016 through Monday
Kai Reed
News Anchor, Reporter
WEBVTT PUBLIC, TO GET HOMICIDE NUMBERS DOWN MOVING FORWARD. >> HE SEEMED TO BE REALLY SKILLED AT HIS PROFESSION, WHICH IS BEING A MURDERER. REPORTER: POLICE ANNOUNCED THE ARREST OF DAMON ALEXANDAR, THE MAN WHO THEY SAY IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SHOOTING SIX PEOPLE AND KILLING TWO, OUTSIDE OF A CONVENIENCE STORE ON GARRISON BLVD LAST MONTH. THE MURDERS ADDED TO A CITY HOMICIDE TOTAL THAT'S ON THE VERGE OF REACHING 300 PEOPLE BY THE END OF THE YEAR. >> THAT NUMBER OF 300 IS UNACCEPTABLE. AND TODAY, AS YOU ALL ARE WELL AWARE, WE STAND AT 299 THOSE ARE 299 TOO MANY LIVES LOST TO SENSELESS VIOLENCE IN OUR CITY THIS YEAR. REPORTER: LAST YEAR, THERE WERE 324 MURDERS. AND ALTHOUGH, AS COMMISSIONER DAVIS SAID MONDAY, THE NUMBERS AREN'T ANYTHING TO BE PROUD OF, POLICE ARE POINTING TO SOME POSITIVES. THE CLEARANCE RATE, THE NUMBER OF CASES SOLVED, HAS INCREASED 7%. AND SO FAR, THE HOMICIDE RATE IS SHOWING A 7.7% REDUCTION FROM LAST YEA ACCORDING TO INVESTIGATORS, ONE RECENTLY SUCCESSFUL POLICE TACTIC HAS BEEN RELEASING MORE VIDEO SURVEILLANCE TO TH PUBLIC. THEY SAY THEY'VE RECEIVED MORE TEXT TIPS RECENTLY AS WELL. >> WE'VE DONE REALLY, REALLY WELL. THE COMMUNITY HAS DONE REALLY WELL WORKING WITH US TO GET TIPS, TO IDENTIFY THESE SHOOTERS, AND TO TELL US WHERE THEY ARE. >> THIS IS NOT JUST A BALTIMORE POLICE DEPARTMENT PROBLEM. THIS IS THE CITY OF BALTIMORE PROBLEM. REPORTER: NEWLY NAMED CHAIR OF THE PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE, BRANDON SCOTT, SAYS AGENCIES THROUGHOUT THE CITY NEED TO BE BETTER FOCUSED ON CRIME-FIGHTING STRATEGIES. NEXT HEALTH, -- >> HEALTH, LIQUOR DEPARTMENT, DPW, HEALT DEPARTMENT, HOUSING, EVERYONE IN THAT AREA, WHERE WE SEE THE VIOLENCE, WE NEED TO WORK TOGETHER AND COORDINATE A RESPONSE. REPORTER: THE GUN SEIZURE RATE IN THE CITY IS UP 15% OVER LAST YEAR. BUT THAT HASN'T DRIVEN DOWN THE VIOLENT CRIME NUMBERS AS WOULD BE EXPECTED, OR AS POLICE WOULD LIKE IT TO.
There have been 299 homicides in Baltimore so far this year. Police and city leaders said that number is unacceptable. While police admit the homicide rate is nothing to be proud of, they said there are some signs of progress from last year. Police Commissioner Kevin Davis, along with other city leaders, have consistently talked about a need for better partnerships and continued assistance from the public to get the homicide numbers down moving forward. This talk continued Monday as police announced the arrest of Damon Alexander, the man who police said is responsible for shooting six people, killing two of them outside a convenience store on Garrison Boulevard last month. "That number of 300 is unacceptable and today as you all are well aware, we stand at 299," Davis said. "Those are 299 too many lives lost to senseless violence in our city this year." Last year, there were 324 homicides recorded in the city. Police said that the gun seizure rate in the city is up 15 percent over last year, but that hasn't driven down the violent crime numbers as the police would expect them to. Davis said Monday that the homicide numbers aren't anything to be proud of, but there are some positives to draw from. The homicide clearance rate has increased from 30 to 37 percent this year, and so far, the homicide rate is showing a 7.7 percent reduction from last year. According to investigators, one recently successful police tactic has been releasing more video surveillance to the public. That strategy has led to more leads and text tips as well. "We've done really, really well (and) the community has done really well working with us to get tips -- to identify these shooters and to tell us where they are," Davis said. Councilman Brandon Scott, the newly named chair of the Baltimore City Council's Public Safety Committee, said agencies throughout the city need to be better focused on crime-fighting strategies. "This is not just a Baltimore Police Department problem, this is a city of Baltimore problem," Scott said. "Health, Liquor Board, DPW, everyone, (including) housing working in those area where we see the violence, coordinated response to the violence, and working together to prevent it because where you see health violations, housing violations, vacants, trash, you'll see violence and we have to tackle that issue ahead of time."

Q: Olimex EKG-EMG arduino shield (linux monitor) Recently I have started using an EKG/EMG arduino's shield from Olimex: EKG/EMG Shield
The documentation have references for Electric Guru software only, but this software is closed source and it doesn't works in Linux.
I searched in internet but I have not success results.
My question is: is there another monitor software or any example for plot the captured signals by the electrodes?

A: not as I would know.
whowever, looking at the source code that is turning at the arduino microcontroller the protocol is fairly simple. I mean this one: https://www.olimex.com/Products/Duino/Shields/SHIELD-EKG-EMG/resources/ShieldEkgEmgDemo.zip
if i remember well, it sends out the packets: the rotating packet counter [count], and array of measurements [data] separated by 0xa5 0x5a bytes.
struct Olimexino328_packet
{
  uint8_t   sync0;      // = 0xa5
  uint8_t   sync1;      // = 0x5a
  uint8_t   version;    // = 2 (packet version)
  uint8_t   count;      // packet counter. Increases by 1 each packet.
  uint16_t  data[6];    // 10-bit sample (= 0 - 1023) in big endian (Motorola) format.
  uint8_t   switches;   // State of PD5 to PD2, in bits 3 to 0.
};

some time ago, I have written a small python script for interfacing that (which is not finished yet), where you could do whatever you wish with the data - plotting, cool calculations and machine learning, etc.  If you are interested, I could search for, and send you the source code... best after march 15.
however so far for some reason it starts receiving the data only after starting the  Electric Guru once.
cheers

A: Maybe this helps you a bit, im also trying to build an open source component
http://bakerdh.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/a-first-look-at-the-olimex-eeg-smt/

A: I am working on a Python package to capture data from the Olimex EKG/EMG shield.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi
I am currently working towards a pre-alpha release.
Update:
I just pushed up an alpha version of the package I mentioned before to PyPI.
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/olimex-ekg-emg/0.1.0

A: I have a github repo that contains a Processing 3 visualizer that might be helpful.  Processing 3 is very similar to the Arduino IDE.
https://github.com/fractalbass/ekg_field_monitor/tree/master/processing/ECG_Display
I also have a blog post that goes into some detail about what is going on in that sample program...
https://pragmaticiot.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/i-got-rhythm/
In the end, all you really need to do with the shield is just read the values on pins A0-A5.  They will contain values you can graph to get the waveforms.
Good Luck
Miles Porter
Mporter@paintedharmony.com

A: Arduino IDE now has inbuilt Serial Plotter under Tools menu. Olimex provides a good document for hooking everything up and this is their code:
const int analogInPin = A0;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
    int sensorValue = analogRead(analogInPin);
    Serial.println(sensorValue);
}

Chablis Henri La Fontaine is aåÊ pale lemon wine with green hints. It has typical steely, mineral aromas with light buttery notes. Crisp and flinty it is perfect with prawns, salmon and smoked fish.
Chateau Laquirou Roxanne grapes are hand harvested. The final composition being Roussanne, Grenache Blanc and Bourboulenc, giving the wine a distinct pale straw colour.
The Riddle Rose juice is allowed only a brief period of maceration on the skins to extract sufficient colour, before draining off and fermenting in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and fruit.
Domaine Joelle Vrignaud Chablis was certified Organic by Ecocert for the 2013 Vintage. Winemaker Guillaume Vrignaud regularly scores highly with Robert Parker.
Vendange White Zinfandel is a light-to-medium-bodied wine with an easygoing, sociable character. This White Zinfandel is a lovely salmon pink colour due to a brief time with juice and skin together. This gives light flowery-fruity aromas highlighted by strawberry and a touch of lemon.
Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Brut reflects the traditions of the past, this is full, yet dry and has a rich, creamy style with biscuity flavours.

Facebook tracks North American daily user declines
The company's ad revenues grew last quarter, but time-spent has dropped.
Facebook took in $12.8 billion in advertising revenue in Q4 2017, a 48% lift over the same period last year. But while the dollar figures in its most recent financial report are strong, not every metric is trending upward.
Advertising makes up the bulk of Facebook's overall revenue, which was just shy of $13 billion for the quarter (up 47%). Net income was $7.4 billion, putting the social media company at a 57% profit margin.
Mobile's role in Facebook's financial well-being is also now more important than ever. In Q4 2016, mobile accounted for 84% of ad revenue. The most recent results show that it now represents 89% of advertising revenue, or $11.4 billion.
Daily and monthly active users both increased by 14% year-over-year — currently, an average of 1.4 billion people use the platform daily, while 2.13 billion use it monthly.
However, for the first time in its history, the company saw a decline in daily active users in Canada and the U.S. In Q3 2017, it reported 185 million DAUs. In yesterday's results, that number fell to 184 million.
Another key statistic also showed a drop: time spent on Facebook.
In a statement preceding the Q4 conference call, founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg detailed changes in the platform's news feed algorithms. While the majority of the high-profile changes — de-prioritizing publishers and brands on the news feed — were implemented in Q1, some key changes began in in the previous fiscal year. One such update was video recommendations, focusing more on videos that "encourage meaningful social interactions" and less on viral videos.
Zuckerberg said the changes resulted in a total of 50 million fewer hours spent per day on Facebook, or a 5% reduction. Users went from using Facebook an average of one hour and 24 minutes per day to one hour and 19 minutes per day.
He added that with the new changes to de-prioritize brands and publishers, the company does expect to see even fewer hours spent on Facebook.
"News and video will always be an important part of Facebook," he said. "But… helping people connect is more important than maximizing the time they spend on Facebook."
Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg

Reusable respirators may be a suitable alternative to disposable respirators
by Baylor College of Medicine
Shortages of respiratory protective devices for healthcare personnel are major concerns during the COVID-19 pandemic. A team of researchers at Baylor College of Medicine, Emory University, the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health Centers at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention have found that reusable respirators may be a suitable alternative to disposable N95 respirators currently in high demand. The study appears in the journal JAMA.
"Training and fit testing healthcare providers on respirators can be time consuming, and in an epidemic we want to train and fit test a large number of workers quickly," said first and corresponding author Dr. Lisa A. Pompeii, professor of pediatrics—epidemiology at Baylor.
In this study, the researchers compared the time it takes to fit test and train healthcare personnel in the use of disposable respirators versus reusable elastomeric half-mask respirators that provide the same level of respiratory protection as N95 respirators. They found that healthcare personnel learned to use the reusable respirator quickly and that it took no more time to fit test them than it would take a disposable respirator.
"Our study shows that training and fit testing workers on these reusable respirators does not represent a barrier for possible use by hospitals," Pompeii said. "An advantage of reusable respirators is that there is no need to stockpile them."
More information: Lisa A. Pompeii et al, Training and Fit Testing of Health Care Personnel for Reusable Elastomeric Half-Mask Respirators Compared With Disposable N95 Respirators, JAMA (2020). DOI: 10.1001/jama.2020.4806

The light version of the NICMCR Netherlands Indonesian Consortium on Muslim-Christian Relations
Yesterday it was the first day for the Dutch hosts and the Indonesian guests, participants of the regular meeting of the NICMCR. It started as an initiative of the Dutch Protestant Churches to stay in contact with the former missionary churches, now independent and adult churches, perhaps even somewhat more vital than the original Dutch churches, suffering from secularisation, shrinking membership and shortage of leadership, new ideas, in short: nearly everything.
There was quite a big group, seven participants, from the State Institute of Islamic Studies of Ambon. When I was asked in the beginning of this informal meeting to give an idea of what has changed between 1970 and 2010, I told them that in 1970 is stayed in a pesantren for my PhD research. I confessed that I was a Catholic, but liked to join prayers in the mosque. It was OK. But nowadays there are signs outside mosques that non-Muslims are not allowed to visit these places. Even, when visiting the great mosque of Ambon town in 2009, with Prof. Saleh Putuhena, young Muslims protested: how could a bule or white non-Muslim with his wife visit this mosque?
Above two impressions of the 'world café' in Utrecht with among others, some of the Ambonese participants.
I was happy to hear that one of the participants here in Utrecht also had been member of the party in Ambon in 2009 and agreed with the strong defence by the late Saleh Putuhena in this debate: the Prophet Muhammad had met with a delegation of Christians from South Arabia, Najran in the mosque of Medinah. And 'the time of their prayers having come they stood and prayed in the apostle's mosque and he said that they were to be left to do so. They prayed towards the east.' (in the translation of the sira by Guillaume, p. 271.)
To Dutch people present here, both Christians and Muslims from Indonesia assured that there was a rise of hardline fundamentalist Muslims in their country, but also a strong chain of liberal movements as well.
There was a nice gift from Dr. Aris Pongtuluran, theologian of the Duta Wacana Christian University of Yogyakarta: a batik painting with Jesus and the miracle of feeding the four thousand from two fishes and five pieces of bread.
Above we see Dr. Robert Setio showing the great batik, while below Corry van der Ven shows a smaller piece of batik: a little boy has two fishes in his hands, while a crowd is waiting for the miraculous food.
The Consortium not only brings together NL+IND, Christians and Muslims, but also academics and activists. One of the latter group was Irfan Amalee of Peace Generation in Bandung. He told us that in the life of the Prophet there is also a miracle with much food: while working in the trench to defend Medina against the attacks of the Meccans, Muhammad worked hard and than felt weak and wanted to eat.He was invited to eat some nice and delicious soup, but many others also were in the row for this soup: for more than hundred there was enough soup! A nice message for those who dream of paradise, prosperity and peace for all.
This was not a heavy, intellectual or academic dialogue, but a nice and lighthearted meeting. Salam and peace for all of you!

An opera by Ayu Utami on Kartini and 'Katini': Kill the West in me...
Most operas are known by the name of the musical composers: Monteverdi, Mozart, Wagner, Verdi to give just some of the big names. But last Sunday, 12 November we attended an opera in Utrecht, where the two musical composers and the other people who designed this musical theatre all were important, but the basic idea was formulated by Ayu Utami. She gives a portrait of two Indonesian women: the first is Kartini, known for her letters to Dutch citizens in Holland (and some in Batavia, as part of the colonial administration). Kartini (1879-1904) wants to free herself and people around her from the restrictions imposed by Javanese male, patriarchal traditions. Her letters have remained well known but she died young, still part of the system she wanted to change.
The other personality is a contemporary poor Javanese lady, who was given the name Katini, because her father, illiterate could not write the name in a proper way and forgot the letter -r- and she became Katini. She was sent to Arabia to earn money for her family and became housemaid in a family where she was raped by the father, had a short affair with the son, but finally killed the mother in revenge. Therefore she was condemned to death.
On the picture above we see the two musical groups: right is the gamelan, left the string quartet. The gamelan played new music, but very fine in the tradition of the Javanese musical style. The string quartet played as minimal music. Many notes were in flagiolet, raw, very high and more like a cry than making beautiful notes as in classical music.
Below we see the two personalities. The little one on the left is Kartini, played by Bernedeta Astari, (b. Jakarta 1988) trained at the Utrecht conservatory as an opera singer and now working at various places in Europe in the operas of Mazart, Von Gluck and others. She has a wonderful voice, not as high as some Javanese singers in combination with gamelan, but strong and also beautiful in the low registers. Katini was played by Romy Roelofsen, not really a singer but more a theatre player. She has the dramatic story as a housemaid in an Arab family, until she killed the lady of the house and was condemned to death.
The text was mostly in English, with some Dutch, indonesian and Javanese. There was a screen where we could see the text very clear. Like the minimal music, also the text was in very short phrases: more like a deep cry than a real narrative and definitely not a philosophical discourse, but just short expressions. The text switched quickly between the two personalities who were developed simultaneously. Kartini: I was a victim of protection. Katini: a victim of exploitation.
Another confrontation is about the West: Kartini wrote to make friends in the West and to ask help from Western ladies to escape the confinement, part of her 'protection'. Katini went to another 'West' because Mecca is (North-) West of Indonesia.
How must we understand the title of the opera? Kill the West in me? Does it mean that for these two ladies as for all Indonesians the fight against exploitation and restrictions must be done in Indonesia, by the people there? In het first book, Saman, Ayu followed the international 'liberation theology', but already in Larung and the great book Bilangan Fu the Indonesian spirituality is more important. Like we also see in the Islam Nusantara strategy of anti-Salafi Indonesian Muslims.
At some moments the players of the string quartet, joined the gamelan to make their soft sounds here.
There is a moving closing episode when Katini hears in the morning the first call to prayer and begins her devotion, as preparation of the execution. We do not see more, not the dramatic episode of the killing of the Carmelite sisters as in the opera Le dialogue des Carmelites by Poulenc. Although the theme of this play is extremely dramatic, it is all performed in a quitecontrolled way, in line with the minimal space available in the small theatre of Kikker. It was the first performance, made special by the presence of Ayu Utami herself. Thank you, Ayu, for this rich text.

Belief and faith: agama dan kepercayaan? A special decision of the Constitutional Court, november 2017
I found it often complicated to understand Wilfred Cantwell Smith in his debate about (personal) faith and (institutional) belief. In the Indonesian constitution two words also are debated until now. Article 29 states that there is 'freedom of religion and belief' (Negara menjamin kemerdekaan tiap-tiap penduduk untuk memeluk agamanya masing-masing dan untuk beribadat menurut agamanya dan kepercayaannya itu.). Perhaps they were meant as identical, because these solemn texts often have repetitions.
In the decades after 1945 there has been a growing consensus that agama or religion should be taken as a world religion, in fact restricted to five: Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Protestantis and Catholicism. Later Confucianism was added.
Kepercayaan or 'belief' was reserved for local spiritualities and aliran kepercayaan indicates most often the traditional or even modern Javanese 'new religions' or spiritualities. In the 1974 Law on marriage it is defined that marriage is only valid when celebrated/administered according to the religion of the couple. Civil marriage was until the 1980s still possible, but has gradually been banned. Also in other cases (like getting a passport, an identity card, a driver's licence; insurance for your car or motorcycle) one of the 5/6 religions should be mentioned.
In early November (6 or 7) the Constitutinl Court took a short but firm decision: Mahkamah Konstitusi memutuskan bahwa "negara harus menjamin setiap penghayat kepercayaan dapat mengisi kolom agama dalam Kartu Tanda Penduduk (KTP) dan Kartu Keluarga (KK)". Or: the constitutional court takes the decision that the state has to guarantee that members of a spiritual community are able to fill in the column of religion on their identity cards and in the marriage books.
Immediately the question arose whether this will also diminish the monopoly of the six big religions in the field of civil administration, give more freedom to individuals to abstain at all from any religion (or fill in: 'atheist')? What Ahmadiyyah people: should they be free to fill in that they are Ahmadiyyah, but also Muslim? We will see further developments perhaps.
Buni Yani, Prabowo, and other complot theories
In November 2016 the Ahok Case started with a movie, places on the internet by a person, Buni Yani, who had deleted one word from a speech by the candidate for the governorship of Jjakarta. It suggested that the Koran lies (dibohongi) but Ahok wanted to say that political opponents lie if they say thatit is Muslims not allowed to vote for non-Muslim candidates or to be ruled by non-Muslims.
Buni Yani was at that time still on the website of Leiden University as a PhD candidate. In fact had had been accepted in 2010 as a PhD student in Leiden. His topic was the popular music in the Philippines, part of a great research project on modern culture in Southeast Asia. His MA waqs from Ohio University where he wrote a thesis on the differences in press reports of the 'Moluccan Wars', the violent clashes between Muslims and Christians in the Moluccas. Also his native island of Lombok had experienced some effects of this great series of religious violence.
In late 2014 Buni Yuni returned to Indonesia with his family, where he accepted a small position at the Jakarta branch of the London School of Public Relations. Staff in Leiden considered his PhD traject as a failure and in November 2016 he was immediately removed from the Leiden website.
The Duch weekly magazine De Groene Amsterdammer asked journalist Lizzy van Leeuwen to do research about thisBuni Yani and the 2 November 2017 issue came with some stories about him.
Jeroen Krul made this drawing for the article of five pages (34-41, with some advertisements). It begins with the rich harvest for universities through the Indonesian programmes of the Dutch government, but also the money flowing from Indonesia. They are accepted with gratitude because they bring money for poor faculties in the humanities and social science. But the results are often not so spectacular. In the end there is the dilemma between: send back frustrated students or accept lower standards? Full professors are proud if they bring many students in the programms, but the jnior has problems with students who have a poor command of English and are not used to European academic traditions.
Another issue is the influence of salafi students in European universities. There is PPME: Persatuan Pemuda Islam si-Eropa. Besides there is PPI, Perhimpunan Pelajar Indonesia. In Leiden there was an effort by PKS students to take over leadership in PPI in the Netherlands (some 1500 in NL). Sujadi has written a dissertation of PPME: his dissertation 'is full with luaghing salafi ulama. In a statement attached to his dissertation he says that Indonesian salafism is not really noticed in the Netherlands'. In Melbourne, Japan and the UK the PKS-students could take over PPI leadership.
Related to the case of Buni Yani a professor of Wageningen University (who have good relations with the Bogor Agricultural University, with a strong networl of salafi students) asked: 'why do we not receive any Christian student from Indonesia during the last decade?'
Journalist Lizzy van Leeuwen also was for some time in Indonesia, seeking information about Buni Yani (who only had a small position at the Jakarta institution and has been dismissed since the beginning of the affair). She gives much interest to the cooperation between PKS (now in a difficult position due to the 2014 corruption affair) and Gerindra of Prabowo.
Finally she also quotes Bart Barendregt, assistent professor in Leiden and responsible for the study of Buni Yani: 'He was not really interested in Islam here. He was in fact not an academic, but a journalist. He was a supporter of Jokowi, but probably lost his confidence in him. Buni had a strong feeling of justice, or perhaps it was rather some naive love of justice. He really loved his country and was not an man for machinations.'

Jan Toorop and 'Melati of Java': a painter and a writer and their Indonesian background
In the small but old town of Doesburg (in East Netherlands, member of the old Hanza Union), an exhibition is held on Jan Toorop (1858-1928). The scenery is beautiful: small but characteristic buildings in the Hanza tradition, like the town hall.
Toorop had a Dutch father and a partly Chinese mother from the island of Banka. He looked very Indonesian, at least to Dutch people. He was only eleven years old when he moved to the Netherlands ion 1969. It is debated how much he was influenced by Indonesia, wayang performances or other artistic traditions. The exhibition in Doesburg was advertised as a way to see the Indonesian influences in the work of this artist who is also known as a prominent member of Art Nouveau or symbolic art around 1900. In fact we could not see much direct Indonesian influence.
Below we see here the advertisement of oil to be used in salades. Can we see here a remembrence of Javanese batik art? In 1905 Toorop (who was raised as a nominal Protestant), converted to Catholicism and the image of the Trinity above as one examples of this period in his career. He became immensely popular in the Catholic world of the Netherlands, but not much is seen of Indonesian influence.
This lady is Nicolina van Sloot, born in Semarang 1853 of pure Dutch parents. Her father was a teacher at a primary school. She followed a secndary school, probably at the Ursuline sisters in Batavia. The family moved to the Netherlands in 1871. Until her death in 1927 she wrote more than fifty novels, most of the under her penn-name Melati of Java. She never married and could live from her writings, because the romantic novels, many about the Dutch Indies were very popular. It was het trademark! She wrote even a novel about the historic person of Surapati, glorifying him as a noble fighter against colonialism. Recently a new biography has been published as a doctoral dissertation: she still has some fame in the Netherlands, but as far as I know none of her books were ever translated into Indonesian.

At Fulham Primary School, we teach through an exciting, creative skills based curriculum, embedding cross curricular links to maximise learning opportunities and engagement.
Due to the significant changes brought about by the introduction of the new 2014 Curriculum, Fulham Primary School has taken the opportunity to review and re-evaluate our approach to delivering the National Curriculum. After taking into account a number of different methods of addressing the changes, we have made the decision to adopt the Inspire curriculum.
This decision was not easy, as we needed to ensure whichever resource we selected would provide sufficient coverage, and be broad enough to meet our requirements. As such, we have been conducting a review of the 2015 Inspire curriculum, and assessing its impact on children's learning, beginning in the second half of the Autumn term.


Early in January, 2006, the Child and Family Protection Unit of the Entebbe Police Department contacted Robert about the deteriorating health of 8 month-old triplets named John, Jimmy, and Cheche. They were living in a very poor village with their mentally ill mother. The boys were extremely sick and the community was worried. On numerous occasions the boys were left alone and forgotten about. When the villagers tried to help the children by taking them into their homes, their mother would become irate and belligerent. It was obvious the babies were not getting enough food and were growing sicker every day, causing concern to grow in the community. The Local Council was alerted about the situation and voiced their fears to the police.
The following month Robert was called to a meeting that involved the community leaders, the Child and Family Protection Unit, and a local child advocacy group. It was inevitable that the situation had become life threatening and if something wasn't done immediately they were going to die. The boys were now in critical condition; each baby was sick with malaria, pneumonia, and severe malnutrition. The local authorities made the difficult decision to rescue the triplets from their birth mother and placed them in the care of Malayaka House.
Robert spent the next week in the hospital with the boys until they were strong enough to go to their new home. They continued to travel back and forth to the hospital, as the infants' weak immune systems were not strong enough to fight the malaria. High fevers, convulsions, vomiting, diarrhea, and serious upper respiratory infections were some of the triplets' most challenging symptoms. All efforts would go into getting John back to health and then Jimmy would get sick. Once Jimmy started to get better, Cheche would get sick. For six months Robert and the aunties fought to keep the triplets alive.
Today they are more than perfect! All three boys graduated Nursery school in December 2011. It is almost impossible for one to believe the grave start they had in life compared to how well they are doing now. Their personalities are very different, but each shares an exuberance that is second to none. It is no longer possible to speak of the triplets as a single unit like we once did, but it is also not possible to think of them as separate. They are connected to one another by something that is unknown and mysterious, which is both powerful and beautiful.
John was the first born and the first to sit. He is more serious, thoughtful, and pensive than the others. His favorite things in life are books. John will carry them around all day long if he is given the chance. If he finds someone to read to him he will be there for hours asking questions, re-reading, and finding new books to read. Also, he is very imaginative and creative, and a great actor. John has a mind that runs in over-drive.
He is studying Primary at Entebbe Junior and he would never miss a day of school. His teachers adore him, although sometimes it is hard for them to keep his mind in class. Johnny is quite a daydreamer! Through and through, John is a wonderful boy and a delight to be around.

Margreta Monsdatter Lunde was born in 1801 and baptized on 13 Sep 1801 at the Voss Church at Vangen. She was the daughter of Mons Torsteinson Lunde (1761 – ) and Brita Davidsdatter (1769 – ). Brita's mother is from the well documented Mosafinn family in Voss. She was married on 22 May 1833 to Paal Iverson Dale. Paal was born 28 Mar 1806 in Ulvik, Granvin, Hordaland and was the son of Ivar Nilssen Dale (1772 – 1826) and Guri Helgesdatter Espeland (1778 – 1840). Margreta lived in Ulvik in Granvin after her marriage. She and Paal had two children born at Dale: Iver b. 6 Dec 1860 and Torstein b. 6 Dec 1835. In 1836 the family, along with Paal's sister Ingebjørg went to America. They settled in Adams Twp., in LaSalle County, Illinois where they had two more children: Nelson (Nels) b. 1838 and Betsey (Brita) b. 1843. Paal died sometime between 1843 and 1850 as Margreta is a widow in 1850. She is farming with her 4 children and her real estate is valued at $800. I have not located her after this date so perhaps she also passed on. Her son Torstein (Thomas) is farming in the same community in 1860 and the value of his real estate is recorded as $3000. He had personal assets of $50. There is a possible candidate for Iver who is married to a Rosina, but without a marriage certificate, etc. it is not possible to say for certain if this is him. The other children I have not located. The family went by Everson and in 1860 Thomas was using Iverson.
