I realised recently that I’d not written a post for some time, and that I was missing it.
It’s really important for us to write down our thoughts. Ideas that stay in the mind just fade away. When you write something down, you give it life, and you give it a shape and a form. This means something interesting and helpful is more likely to come of your musings. You’ll also remember whatever you took the time and effort to write down much more clearly.
So please, do keep some sort of journal–even if only from time to time–and write down your ideas and inspirations whenever you can. Your memory will improve, you’ll spark your imagination, and wonderful, tangible possibilities may even be the happy result.

Animal Myth and Magic explores the central place and significance of animals in the Andean cosmovision through the prism of South American archaeology, anthropology, natural history, and mythology. Illustrated with 155 marvelous images from pre-Columbian textiles, this unique anthology discusses over forty-five species, from the hummingbird and butterfly to the llama and jaguar. The depictions—from surreal to naturalistic, awe- provoking to whimsical, abstract to totemic—span a diversity of habitats and 2,000 years of culture, from Chavín to Inca.

The sculpture of the Lobi people of Burkina Faso is a fine example of devotional art that is intended for both individual and family use. The rituals surrounding their use are varied and relate to the protection of their owners. The altars on which they stood were located either in homes or in purpose-built sanctuaries, which could be either inside or outside. Altars generally had groups of figures in various poses. The form and gesture of each sculpture carried specific meaning. In artistic terms, Lobi sculpture was long considered crude, due in part to the fact that individuals frequently made these for their own use, which explains the profusion of styles and the large number of figures. Despite this, these statues are frequently made with great sensitivity and care, as the illustrations in this book will testify. The authors have studied the subject for nearly fifteen years and have examined a vast number of examples. They have defined about 120 individual sculptors and ateliers, of which fourteen are specifically addressed in this voluminous and richly illustrated work.
Archaeology in Washington is an account of post-war excavation projects in Washington State, covering findings dating from as long ago as approximately 12,000 BC. Based on a chronological layout, the book opens with the discovery of greatest age––the Manis Mastodon, excavated in the late 1970s––and works its way through the millennia, concluding with finds from the mid-nineteenth century. Archaeology in Washington not only details the excavation projects and the finds themselves, but also expounds upon their meanings and what clues they offer to the nature of the societies that once occupied the territory that is now Washington. The authors guide the reader through specific excavations from the point of initial discovery (sometimes accidental, other times by deliberate search) through the conclusion, if there is one. They also detail the bureaucracy, environment, routine, and careful patience that is needed to execute such excavations. Covering a great span both temporally and geographically, Archaeology in Washington offers the story of Washington State’s natural and cultural environment over the last 14,000 years.
Archaeology of the Solomon Islands presents the outcome of twenty years’ research in the Solomon Islands undertaken jointly by Richard Walter and Peter Sheppard, both leaders in the field of Pacific archaeology. It draws together the research that has taken place in the field over the past fifty years and takes a multidisciplinary approach to considering the work of archaeologists, environmental scientists, anthropologists, and historians. At the same time this volume highlights the results of the authors’ own considerable field research. Their work also integrates the Solomon Islands into ongoing models and debates around Pacific culturehistory, including in such key areas as human expansion during the Pleistocene, the spread of Austronesians, Lapita colonization, the development of food production, the role of exchange systems, the concept and meaning of culture areas, and human impact on landscapes and ecosystems. The result is a unique and fascinating book, accessibly written, that represents a groundbreaking contribution to Pacific archaeology.
Four ethnic groups that are closely linked by their cultures and history—the Luba, Songye, Tshokwe, and Luluwa—inhabit a vast area in the heart of the central African savannah and have produced and used a variety of power objects, many of which were charged with animal, vegetable, or even human substances. These objects served as intermediaries between man and the world of spirits, and were associated with religious beliefs and magical practices. They were believed to have the capacity to heal, protect, render justice, or cause harm. Literature on the subject makes stylistic and functional distinctions between popular art created in the service of religion and court art created to support political power. In this work, the author attempts to demonstrate that, for these four ethnic groups, fusion between the sacred and profane takes shape in refined sculptures, which not only have magical and religious connotations but also relate to principles of power and prestige. With their meticulous anatomical and decorative details, the sculptures appeared at a time when power was being centralized and an elite of high nobility was emerging. This splendid book, illustrated with a remarkable range of iconography, accompanies the eponymous traveling exhibition presently on view at the Menil Collection in Houston.
Art and Power in the Central African Savanna was published to accompany a namesake traveling exhibition organized by The Cleveland Museum of Art (see article in the spring 2009 edition of Tribal Art). The book focuses on four peoples of Central Africa—the Luba, Songye, Chokwe and Luluwa—and their relationship to the power objects that are central to their cosmology and religious practices. Art and Power provides cultural and historical accounts of the peoples and their carvings and provides a broader understanding of the power objects’ importance and meaning. Major sections are devoted to each of the four cultures it covers. It also discusses the change of terminology in the West, as “power object” has gradually replaced the earlier and less accurate “fetish.” The book is beautifully illustrated with photographs and descriptions of the objects included in the exhibition.
This large-format paperback is packed with field photographs and notes made by veteran tribal art dealer Ron Perry and compiled with his wife and companion on many adventures, Carolyn Leigh. This book is the first of three planned and deals with Perry’s early years in New Guinea from 1964 to 1973, when the region was still under Australian administration and the tribal areas were policed by patrol officers, who were often stationed in remote areas for years at a stretch. Perry traveled to hundreds of villages and collected both traditional and transitional art in huge quantities, some of it of museum quality and some hitherto unknown to the Western art world. As the authors rightly point out, many books and papers have been produced on tribal art and collections both in museums and private hands, but seldom have the field collectors written about their own experiences. This book, plus the second volume dealing with the ten years following independence and a third covering their time together collecting on both sides of the island, begins to fill this gap in the literature.
This brief but interesting book is a fi ne example of what can happen when a small museum works with its community resources to support its initiatives. Opened in 1936, the Mint Museum in Charlotte, North Carolina, undertook a comprehensive examination of collection in 2010 under its new director, Kathleen Jameson. The museum’s African art collection was identifi ed as a good foundation for a broader display. Local art collector Michael Gallis and scholar Herert “Skip” Cole became involved, and loans were secured from Gallis and other collectors to augment the existing material. The result was an African art installation of nearly 100 objects that opened in 2013. Spanning the cultures of sub-Saharan Africa, the high quality of the material may be a pleasant surprise for informed visitors to the galleries.
This book is both the eighth in a series begun in 1987 titled “Terra Incognita,” and the first in a new series of several volumes. These specialized books enrich the literature on the traditional arts of Africa by filling certain thematic gaps: divination among the Lobi of Burkina Faso, the Poro statuary of the Côte d’Ivoire Senufo, the fertility dolls of the Dowayo of Cameroon, and others. In Art of Africa, the author explores the art from the region between the Gimbala and the banks of the Congo River. This region’s art includes Gimbala bronzes, ivory trumpets, Mende and Sande masks and figures, and the zoomorphic works of the Baule. The book combines ethnographic and art historical approaches. It puts forth an articulate analysis of its subject matter that is illustrated with in situ photographs as well as images of works from European collections often hitherto unseen by the general public. The books in this series are precious reference tools, which will be of interest to connoisseurs and beginners alike.
With eight scholarly contributors, it is almost redundant to discuss the breadth and depth of this publication. Identity is the core of most of these essays, particularly how it is expressed and maintained through different forums and situations. After an introductory chapter on the history of the Tuareg and the circumstances that have influenced their lifeway, detailed essays explore a variety of subjects. Rich oral and poetic traditions, music, clothing, and personal adornments are all utilized to maintain and express the identity of these people. Inadans—artists and smiths—have a prominent position in this culture and offer both poetry and ornaments to their clients. The poetry can be considered storytelling in verse form, and one chapter offers original language versions along with English translations, recanting both everyday stories and more significant events. The importance of clothing and jewelry, particularly among women, is elaborated upon. The book also discuss the changes in society and culture as external and foreign influences become more prominent. Most chapters are followed by beautiful photo essays, which display details on the art and craft objects previously discussed. The publication accompanies an eponymous exhibition that opens at the Fowler Museum in Los Angeles on October 29, 2006, and will be at the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford in 2007. Though it is illustrated with objects from the exhibition, it is more of a companion volume than a conventional catalogue.

Yelp, Twitter, Facebook, Linkedin – dissatisfied customers have plenty of options when it comes to venting about poor customer service. Papa John’s is the latest target in these increasingly public complaints. The incident reveals issues endemic to the fragmented franchise environment – holes in communication between the operator and franchisees. And the company’s response provides a superb example in dealing with public customer complaints.
Dunn wanted to place an advanced order, a special deal, for “5 Specialty Pizzas for $50” from his local Papa John’s franchise at his wife’s request on Mother’s Day. He gets an error message.
The franchisee who is closed recommends another store, but when Dunn changes the location, the website deletes his shopping cart. The second store didn’t recognize the specialty pizza deal.
Dunn then calls the customer support hotline to speak to a customer service operator who, unfortunately, did not have the ability or authority to offer a solution.
Dunn gives up trying to order the pizza.
The letter eventually made its ways to the eyes of the Papa John’s executive team. Mike Nettles, the recently-appointed chief information and digital officer for Papa John’s, brilliantly responds in an open letter to Dunn.
Nettles acknowledges the failure and cites the nature of any “franchisee-oriented business.” He says Papa John’s could have taken better steps to “insulate our guests from this ‘behind-the-scenes’ complexity.” He also acknowledges that the information corporate collects on franchisees—like hours of operation, delivery boundaries, and pricing/promo levels—doesn’t properly guide the customer journey.
Nettles offers possible tech solutions, like not showing the customer deals that aren’t readily available to them and a “let us try and help” feature to guide the customer to a more successful outcome. Also, Dunn shouldn’t have had to call a customer support hotline. There should have been chat support when he experienced issues placing his order. The customer service rep on the hotline could have been better trained to resolve the issue.
Nettles concludes his letter with an assurance that Papa John’s is working to improve its digital order fulfillment systems. He then offers to pay, out of his own pocket, for a surrogate Mother’s Day party for Dunn and his family. And he offers to make the delivery himself.
First off, kudos to Nettles for, as he calls it, “taking the hit” and acknowledging the failure. He also offers some specific solutions to the problem Dunn experienced. This is encouraging and will certainly be steps in the right direction for the Papa John’s brand.
But Dunn’s criticism of Papa John’s wasn’t just over one experience on a website – it is about brand reliability and consistency in the company’s franchise system. This is a problem that Nettles alludes to when he says part of the reason we failed is “anchored deeply” in the nature of any franchisee-oriented business.
Is Papa John’s doing everything it can to solve these kinds of issues? Can it do more?
Some franchisees are already taking the initiative to deliver a consistent customer experience, supported by robust technology solutions. Check out the case study of Papa John’s franchisee JNE Inc., which uses Zenput to track performance and assigned tasks, and improve restaurant performance. This means not only responding to issues as they come up, but also being proactive to stop potential problems from negatively affecting business.
As Dunn said, it’s about empowering the powerless, and by establishing procedures and processes that transfer across locations. Imagine if franchisees had a means, in real-time, to identify and resolve issues at the store, and analyze trends to get better insight into each stores’ execution. That’s the whole key to operations improvements, right? It’s not just about the parent organization’s ability to collect data—it’s about using the data to share actionable insights with franchisees. Ultimately, your operations always need to always have customer service in mind, which is really the overriding message of the JNE inc. case study.
Organizational change begins with a willingness to explore new ways of doing old things. In 2017, technology is fundamental to the kind of change that improves restaurant operations.

There were some surprises in this year’s 2019 Oscar nomination, but for the people who care about the Best Original Song category, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper were sure to cut “shallow” from A Star Is Born.
In addition to Gaga’s other songs in this year’s Category: “All The Stars” from Black Panther from Kendrick Lamar and SZA, “Emily Blunt” from Mary Poppins, “where the missing things will go,” when a cowboy receives his Spurs, ” for wings “from” David Rawlings and Gillian Welch, ” and “Buster Scruggs ballad” from RGB documentary written by Diane Warren and written by Jennifer Hudson.” However, despite fierce competition, NPR believes that music’s Stephen Thompson “Sy” is the most preferred pre-runner in the nomination pool this year.
Thompson explained that it was difficult to decide what a song would win, but he realized that many of the Best Original Song winners have been in the movies over the years, though not necessarily.
When it comes to the songs that are clogged in this category? Thompson, “he may have filled an area” with songs he wanted to see nominated, netde’s “grand unknown” Widows, “Girls films” by citing Netflix Dumplin Dolly Parton, he said. and you’re tired of disturbing Thompson’s favorite “OYAHYTT” of the coup .

Minutes of the Federal Reserve™s January meeting showed officials debated whether increases in borrowing costs might be needed later this year, shedding additional light on the central bank™s pivot away from projecting gradual interest-rate hikes.
œMany participants suggested that it was not yet clear what adjustments to the target range for the federal funds rate may be appropriate later this year, according to the record of the Federal Open Market Committee™s Jan. 29-30 gathering released Wednesday in Washington.
While several said rate hikes might be necessary œonly if inflation outcomes were higher than in their baseline outlook, several others said that if the economy evolved as expected, higher rates would be appropriate later this year, the minutes said.
The minutes elaborated on the dovish message delivered three weeks ago when the FOMC said it will be œpatient, signaling it had put interest-rate hikes on hold and was prepared to be more flexible on shrinking the balance sheet.
Chairman Jerome Powell underscored the message in his Jan. 30 press conference by saying the Fed would be patient in deciding when and how to adjust policy in the face of a mounting set of risks, including slowing growth in China and Europe, Brexit, trade negotiations and the effects of the five-week U.S. government shutdown. The FOMC unanimously decided to leave the benchmark interest rate unchanged in a range of 2.25 percent to 2.5 percent.

Long-finned pilot whales swim near Spain. The animals that suffocated in 2014 off the Netherlands were in unfamiliar territory.
The long-finned pilot whales were far from home and eating unfamiliar food, a new study says.
A fish-versus-whale battle seems like no contest. But two whales learned otherwise when common soles became lodged either in or just below their blowholes, slowly suffocating them to death.
Though observed before, the rare phenomenon has never been recorded in long-finned pilot whales, a new study says. The body of one animal washed up on the Dutch coast in late 2014, the other in early 2015.
Experts think that loyalty to a companion may have done the whales in. Both animals were swimming in unfamiliar territory and eating unfamiliar food, perhaps out of a reluctance to abandon a family member in distress, says study co-author Lonneke IJsseldijk, a biologist in the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Utrecht.
Even crueler, the animals, which can hold their breath a long time, would have had suffered, experts say. Death “wouldn’t have been as quick … as for a human,” says Sue Barco, research coordinator for the Virginia Aquarium & Marine Science Center, who was not affiliated with the study.
Both corpses were so rotten that IJsseldijk, who was called to examine them, initially thought she couldn’t learn much. But her first examination, of a young male, revealed an entire fish stuck in the whale’s nasal passages, which lead from the blowhole to the lungs.
Scientists found common sole fish, such as the above, lodged in the nasal passages of the dead whales.
It’s unlikely that the fish swam into the whales’ bodies after the whales died, since common sole are worm-eaters, not scavengers, says IJsseldijk, whose study was published November 18 in the journal PLOS ONE.
The acrobatic fish can roll up in almost any direction and fling themselves off the ocean floor, making it possible that they flipped into the whales’ nasal passages as they tried to escape. It’s also possible that a forceful sneeze or cough from the whales forced the fish, which also died, down the wrong way.
So why were these whales hanging around this unfamiliar place?
Beached Whales Hundreds of whales suddenly beach themselves on King Island in Tasmania at an alarming rate.
Shortly after that, the body of an emaciated young pilot whale was found at the same spot.
The researchers think the pod members may have stayed with their distressed compatriot, probably a relative, until she died. When a pilot whale is sick or hurt, its podmates “will all follow that animal,” says IJsseldijk.
Both Barco and Kerri Danil, a marine mammal research biologist with the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, think IJsseldijk and colleagues presented a plausible scenario for the pilot whales’ deaths.
Though the cause is bizarre, it’s important to document why whales die and prey that may harm them, Danil says via email.

LOCALS in Rochdale town centre could be slapped with an £80 fine just for SWEARING, thanks to a new proposal from the council.
Campaigners have slammed bosses at the local authority, who have tabled the proposal in a bid to improve the area's image.
Councillors are backing a Public Space Protection Order, the Manchester Evening News reports, which targets "using foul and abusive language".
This, they say, is to stop "a small minority spoiling" Rochdale for everyone else.
The proposal will also target those playing music loudly, begging and revving car engines too loudly.
Under-18s could even be banned from entering the town centre between 11pm and 6am.
Councillors claim in a report that they are just using their "powers of enforcement needed to make our community a safer, more pleasant place" - but human rights campaign group Liberty have slammed the proposals.
Laraten Caten, legal officer for Liberty, said: “These proposals would unjustifiably curb the rights and freedoms of Rochdale residents.
The government typically sets on-the-spot fines for offences such as littering at a maximum of £80.
However council leader Richard Farnell is standing by the plans.
Mr Farnell said: “There have been instances, particularly with people who have been drinking, who have been shouting and swearing aggressively at shoppers.
“When you are shopping with your children, that’s the last thing you want. It’s already a public order offence, but the police have limited resources so we want to give council officers the powers to help them with incidents like this.
“We’re investing £250m in our town centre and we are doing everything in our power to create a vibrant, family-friendly and attractive place for everyone.
“We are also putting measures in place to help homeless and vulnerable people, by directing them to services such as homeless charity Petrus, so it’s not just about moving them on.

We caught up with Rinse FM DJ and mega-babe Emerald Rose Lewis to talk career highlights, beauty must-haves and her Eastern Electrics Festival warm-up tracks.
Hi! I’m Emerald. I present ‘Breakfast With Emerald’ on Rinse FM Monday – Friday 7-10am. I’m a DJ, presenter, a model and I used to be a professional hula hoop dancer! I’m 6 ft tall and I’ve got big curly hair.
What does a day in the life of Emerald look like?
I get up early at about 6am, try to dress half decent in the dark trying not to wake up my boyfriend, jump on my bike and head to the studio to do my 3-hour radio show. My days, other than that, usually consist of listening to music non-stop. Prepping for gigs or just digging out great new music. Occasionally hitting the gym, spending great quality time with my cat and watching trash TV, guilty!
When did you first realise you wanted to work in the music industry?
It happened kind of gradually after I left college. But I only really realised I could take it seriously and be good at around 3/4 years ago. I don’t think I could work in any other industry now. I love it so much. I’ve done things in the past couple of years that I’ve dreamed of. I feel so lucky and so grateful.
Who would you say your musical influences are?
My musical influences and musical inspiration really now comes from DJs and artists around me that I am lucky enough to meet and get to spend time with. I’ve learnt that you can idolise artists but that never really shapes what you’re doing in an authentic way. I’ve learnt so much and changed so much since music exchanging, conversing and generally spending time with people I admire who are smashing it in the music industry.
I’m listening to so much different stuff. The great thing about working in radio is that you get to hear such a range of music and genre. So many different DJs pass through. Such a range of music is playing around you all the time. This generally means that my music taste is always so varied. Right now though I’m obsessing over Portuguese DJs, MCs, producers. The sound is so unique and such incredible dance music.
One of them was last year when I was Katy B’s tour DJ, we played her headline show at Brixton Academy. It was an incredible experience playing on that stage to that crowd. She is also the best person in the world to work with. I love her so much. Another one was last year, I got to interview one of my favourite artists in the world, M.I.A. which was like a teenage dream come for me, and since then worked on Meltdown festival with Rinse FM which she curated. It’s just so great to get to work with someone and on something that you really believe in.
What do you pack when you go on your travels?
Way too much. I am scared of not having enough options. What if I don’t feel like wearing anything I’ve brought when I get there!! Good to take your wardrobe staples I think. And I stupidly always bring 3 pairs of trainers and only wear one. I always take my mini rig speaker, absolutely essential.
Neal’s Yard Beauty Balm, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter, Bio Oil.
Rinse FM have a stage at this year’s Eastern Electrics. Who are you most excited to see on the line-up?
Yes! I’m excited to be playing alongside some legends. Heartless Crew have absolutely smashed their comeback and are so incredibly fun to see live. Not to be missed.
Festivals season! Festivals are my favourite place to be in the whole entire world so it’s safe to say I’m pretty excited about that.

Natriuretic peptides are a family of naturally occurring proteins that play a major role in down-regulating the activity of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system; regulating circulatory homeostasis; modulating cardiovascular system, causing natriuresis and vasodilatation. There are at least three major natriuretic peptides that have been discovered: atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP)- secreted largely by the atria; brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) - produced by the ventricles and C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP)- located in peripheral blood vessels.
AS-61198 ANP (1-28), human, porcine, FAM-labeled FAM: Abs/Em=492/518 nm.
AS-62839 ANP (4-18), rat This peptide has been used as a model cysteine containing peptide in quantitative mass spectroscopic analysis. This fragment is also related to C-ANP (4-23); (Des-Gln18,des-Ser19,des-Gly20,22,des-Leu21), which is completely selective in discriminating rat C-AMP receptors.
AS-20657/20658 ANP (5-28), rat This 28 amino acid peptide produced primarily in the cardiac atria reduces renin release, suppresses angiotensin converting enzyme activity and blocks aldosterone release.
AS-24015/24016 BNP-32, human This 32 amino acid peptide contains a 17 amino acid ring structure that is common to all natriuretic peptides. It is also called the brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) because it was first identified in porcine brain; however, the main source of this peptide is not the brain but the cardiac ventricle. This cardiac neurohormone is secreted from the ventricles in response to volume expansion and pressure overload. It has natriuretic and vasodilatory effects and suppresses the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
AS-24243/24244 CNP (32-53), human, porcine C-type Natriuretic Peptide (CNP) is derived from a 126 amino acid preprohormone. CNP exists in two mature forms, one found in tissues, another in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. It is present in high concentration of the vascular tree, especially the endothelium, central nervous tissues, and renal tubular cells. It is a powerful vasorelaxant and inhibitor of smooth muscle cell proliferation and may play a role in coagulation and fibrinogenesis by modulating endothelial cells.

Celtic face Astana in a crunch Champions League play-off on Wednesday in a repeat of last season’s tie, one which Celtic scraped through courtesy of a last gasp penalty.
There is already a base of knowledge surrounding the Kazakh side but the slight tweaks they have implemented since, along with the progress Celtic have made in the ensuing twelve months, gives the game a new dynamic.
Celtic toiled for large spells of the two legs last season, but injury problems and the threat of Kabananga and Twumasi deem the tie a tricky enough test of Celtic’s ability to warrant an analysis of Astana’s profile in both phases of the game.
How well Astana transition depends on which formation they employ. If it’s a 4-2-3-1, they will quickly become a 4-1-4-1. This is usually used away from home, where Astana are less ambitious going forward. Given the structural similarities between 4-2-3-1 and 4-1-4-1, Astana can quickly get into shape when they play like this.
However, in home games, Astana tend to use a diamond 4-4-2. Given they still try to transition to the 4-1-4-1, this involves a striker and attacking midfielder dropping into the midfield. This makes them particularly vulnerable in wide areas. With this in mind, it’s easy to see Celtic having joy with the Tierney/Sinclair combination.
Indeed, captain Dmitri Shomko (number 77) is known for rampaging up the pitch on the ball from left back. There will be space in behind him which Celtic can exploit. Interestingly, he is also the only left back in the entire Astana squad, giving Celtic even more reason to target the Astana left in case of injury/suspension.
Off the ball, Astana revert to a 4-1-4-1/4-5-1 block. This congests the centre of the park. As such, they show little interest in seriously pressing the opposition until they reach the final third. Instead, they stay structured, stay organised and let the opposition come onto them. Playing against teams in a low block is something that Celtic are very much accustomed to in the SPFL. However, Astana are far more disciplined in their defence than any teams in Scotland.
That’s not to say that Astana are a one dimensional team out of possession. There are, as usual, a few ‘pressing triggers’. If a ‘pressing trigger’ occurs, the team will break their defensive structure to press the opposition. For Astana, it appears as though all midfielders have license to hunt down any misplaced passes as a three.
This gives Celtic two options to beat the midfield. The low block swarms the centre the closer you get to goal, so there will be space out wide should you get it out there quickly enough. Marin Anicic (number 5) may be a giant at 6ft 3”, however the cliché seems to hold true about tall, slow defenders in this case. While dominant in the air, he struggles with low crosses into the box, especially if faced with a striker making short, sharp movements. Alongside him, Yuri Logvinenko (number 27) is basically a slightly poorer version of his partner. Slightly smaller, slightly less alert and slightly more awkward.
The second option is to not give them any time to get into their block. Keep players high on the halfway line when under pressure, and break at speed on the turnover. Griffiths, Sinclair and Ntcham are all athletic players capable of getting the ball up the pitch quickly.
Astana have built a solid defence, if you play into their hands. However, it is quite simple to dissect when studied in depth.
The threat Astana pose Celtic going forward is no secret. Both teams are likely to field at least seven of the same payers in both starting line-ups, but Brendan Rodgers’ system is now ingrained in his players’ psyche whilst Astana look identical, bar some personnel changes in midfield.
At the compact Astana Arena they are a formidable side – as their unbeaten run of fourteen games in Europe attests to – but away from their own patch their conservative approach can render them passive.
Astana thrive on transitioning quickly from a low block, but their success was facilitated by Celtic’s poor ball retention and flawed press. Roll on a year and the midfield’s circulation and pitch coverage is one of their underlying strengths.
What has made Astana so effective at home is that they counter press and break from the second ball so sharply. Serikzhan Muzhikov (number 7) is an understated type of midfielder, but he is technically one of the most proficient in the side and is crucial to initiating counters by using his smart reading of the game.
Given time to methodically play through the lines they can, but their midfield triumvirate don’t possess a playmaker who is entirely comfortable receiving the ball with his back under the threat of a high press.
Manager, Stanimir Stoilov, is a pragmatist though. In the previous meeting between the sides he reacted to Celtic’s 3-5-2 set-up by playing long to Junior Kabananga (number 30), therefor counteracting Celtic’s waves of pressure. That will be a tactic likely to be utilised once again as the Congolese striker uses his explosive pace and power to bully centre-backs.
Kabananga is the focal point and central to everything Astana do well. Capable of holding the ball up even without great service he is a striker with many arrows to his bow, as he can more than cope with the physical battle or exploit space. He manages 4.52 touches inside the opposition box, a number Celtic will have to reduce as he averages a goal every other game, testament to his ability to get a shot away without having to shift the ball too drastically.
Scott Brown will have an important job in screening the passing lanes into his feet, as once he has the centre-backs pinned his trademark move is to roll them and drive into the channel. Srdan Grahovac (number 8) is the main source into Kabananga’s feet, playing over eight passes into the final third per game at a success rate of 80%.
Centre-backs Logvinenko and Anicic are heavily involved in possession, often due to the lack of penetration from the centre of midfield, averaging 56 and 58 pass each per 90 minutes. Both are left-footed, which represents an imbalance when building play from the back, so Celtic may press from the right to set traps.
Goalkeeper, Alexandr Mokin (number 35), who Celtic faced in 2013 when he was between the sticks for Shakhtar Karagandy, is vulnerable with the ball at his feet.
At goal-kicks, the target is defensive midfielder Ivan Maevski (number 18) as his kicks from a standing start don’t often reach far beyond the halfway line. The German averages 6.52 aerial duels a game with a success rate of just over 54%.
Rodgers should have his forwards under strict instructions to press the back-line all the way to Mokin as his poor kicking technique is worse when the ball is moving.
Kieran Tierney had one of his most difficult nights in a Celtic jersey in the first-leg up against Patrick Twumasi (number 23) as his raw pace saw him skip by the full-back on numerous occasions. The Ghanaian winger is incredibly fleet footed and is often left detached from the defensive shape in order to instigate the counter-attack and provide support for Kabananga. He is an all-action player, as his numbers show: 4.06 shots, 5.68 crosses, 5 dribbles per 90 minutes.
However, he is unrefined when it tight areas and can be wasteful with his final ball, even if he is capable of producing a long-range strike or whipped delivery.
Young Boys, who beat Astana 3-0 at home last year, nullified Twumasi by doubling up on him as soon as he received the ball and not allowing him to turn.
Tierney has the tools and, more importantly, nearly another 50 senior games under his belt now. The Scot has developed athletically and is a wily defender 1v1, which is why he would be favourite to come out on top of the battle. Twumasi does tend to drift inside if Astana manage to gain a foothold in proceedings so Tierney will have to be aware of runs in the channel between himself and Jozo Simunovic.
Astana’s opener last season came from a corner which Craig Gordon’s attempted punch failed to connect with. After watching a dozen or so games, Astana don’t seem to have devised a bespoke routine suited to the opposition. Their usual set-up is for a group of four players to gather centrally in a cluster between the penalty spot and the edge of the box.
Astana don’t possess the ability to outmanoeuvre Celtic in possession, but with eight of the ten likely outfield starters standing at over six feet tall, their presence from set-plays represent the biggest danger to Celtic.
Twumasi is on outswinging corners and Muzhikov/Grahovac rotate the inswingers from the left. There is not much variation in the delivery as the target seems to constantly be Maevski on the six-yard box line.
Astana will most likely have identified Celtic’s right channel as the most fragile area, with Mikael Lustig and Nir Bitton able to be exploited. Astana used Roman Murtazayev (number 45) on the left flank against Legia Warsaw in the away leg when defending a lead, but shifted Muzhikov wide Spartaks Jurmala.
The former is a gangly forward who is aerially very strong and likes to drift inwards to join Kabananga as a pairing when the ball is wide. His inclusion will depend on whether Astana decide to prioritise physicality in the middle of the park to combat the physical presence of Brown, Olivier Ntcham and possibly Tom Rogic.
All of Astana’s midfield options are high-energy players but Stoilov has the dilemma of opting for Laszlo Kleinheisler (number 6) to play alongside Maevski and Grahovac, which would see Muzhikov shift out wide, in order to give the team more defensive solidity, or sacrificing a central midfielder to accommodate Murtazayev.
If he chooses the latter then Celtic may feel the game is more open, but similarly, Astana would be a more potent force.
Whichever variation Astana decide to go with on Wednesday, despite Astana’s doggedness, it will take a well below par performance from Celtic for the Kazakhs to avenge their defeat last season.

On September 10, 2018, U.S. District Judge R. Gary Klausner issued an 11-page ruling that denied Coachella partial summary judgment on its trademark infringement claims against Trevor Simms (“Simms”)- organizer of “Filmchella,” a three-day film festival held in Joshua Tree, California- by deciding a reasonable jury could find the two festivals are not similar enough to confuse consumers.
As previously reported by “In The Know” on September 7, 2018, this dispute stems from the conduct of Simms in holding a three-day film festival entitled “Filmchella,” despite Coachella's multiple cease-and-desist letters, and also based on Simms' application with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for the Filmchella trademark.
Judge Klausner explained that while Filmchella featured some musical performances, they were nothing compared to the names (e.g., Beyoncé, Madonna and Coldplay) Coachella attracts.
This trial was set to begin on October 9, 2018, but a settlement was reached on October 2, 2018, and was signed off on October 4, 2018, on a deal that prohibits the three-day film festival once called “Filmchella” from using marks that might be confusingly similar to the popular Coachella music festival.
Coachella and owner Goldenvoice LLC are represented by David J. Steele, Howard A. Kroll and Steven E. Lauridsen of Tucker Ellis LLP.
The case is Coachella Music Festival LLC et al. v. Robert Trevor Simms et al., case number 2:17-cv-06059, in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California.

Successful delivery, placement, and effectiveness of in situ treatment materials in active harbors has the potential to reduce costs, shorten recovery times, and provide more effective alternatives to traditional methods of remediation for a wide range of sites with contaminated sediments. Traditional remediation of sediments has involved removal by dredging, or isolation by capping. Removal actions may cause increased mobility and bioavailability of the contaminated sediments, while physical capping may not be practical in active harbors and navigable waterways.
Dr. Bart Chadwick from SPAWAR Systems Center and his team led an ESTCP-funded project that aimed to demonstrate and validate the placement, stability, and performance of reactive amendments for treatment of contaminated sediments in active DOD harbor settings.
The team successfully demonstrated in situ remediation of surface sediment contaminated with hydrophobic organic compounds (HOCs) by placing a reactive amendment consisting of powdered activated carbon (PAC) at a site contaminated with polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) located at the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard & Intermediate Maintenance Facility in Washington. The PAC was successfully placed on the seafloor of a half-acre target site to sorb PCBs in sediments, thereby reducing bioavailability and limiting bioaccumulation of contaminants into the tissues of benthic invertebrates, and subsequently the food web.
Prior to this project, the majority of in situ sediment amendment efforts have been small, pilot-scale efforts in areas without significant limitations to access and generally targeted to low velocity waters with minimal vessel traffic or harbor activities. This project achieved the key goal of extending pilot-scale efforts to larger scale footprints in active DOD harbor areas with the additional challenge of remediation in deep water with high vessel traffic.
For this groundbreaking work, Dr. Chadwick received the 2016 ESTCP Project-of-the-Year Award for Environmental Restoration for their project titled Demonstration of In Situ Treatment with Reactive Amendments for Contaminated Sediments in Active DoD Harbors.

All totaled, we spent, between all of us, at least 66 hours being a part of this event through volunteering and participating over the last two weekends and other events such as the CHKM Kids Zoo Run. While we were busy, we enjoyed ourselves and we’re all looking forward to next year’s CHKM.
As I mentioned before, I was pretty sure my finishing time wasn’t going to be great, and it wasn’t. CHKM 2015 turned out to be of my slowest half-marathons. My time was 02:12 and some change. But, it was in-line with my expectations. Leading up to this race, I had only run about 40 miles total in the previous 6 weeks..
If nothing else, I showed up and never stopped.

As a scuba diving instructor one of my key responsibilities, aside from teaching safe scuba diving, is to promote environmental awareness. The underwater environment is a delicate ecosystem that has evolved over hundreds of millions of years without the presence of humans, except for the last hundred years or so. From the moment we enter the water we should be completely aware of ourselves so we cause as little impact as possible. While almost all divers I have come across hold similar values, it seems that some do not.
As we are entering a completely alien environment, we should behave ourselves, but in some places you will find divers grabbing on to turtles to “hitch a ride”, or some divers enjoy making sea cucumbers void their stomachs, or some really strange people like to make pufferfish puff up, just for entertainment. We have all had experiences where we have made accidental contact with the reef, and usually no damage is done. I remember once when I was taking out a fun diver, her fin accidentally clipped a stag horn coral and a piece broke off. Despite this being an accident, she was completely mortified. That piece of coral could have taken decades to grow, but only one careless second to destroy. She understood this, and took away a lesson that she should not get so close to the reef, and if something is too hidden to clearly see, it is not worth trying to get closer to be able to see it. It is nice to see some divers get so upset when something like this happens.
On the other hand, some divers care so little about the environment they are in. They literally plough through the reef like they are pretending to be a bulldozer. To see this really is devastating, especially if the Divemaster/guide does nothing to stop it. The diving industry is very competitive, and some dive businesses will do almost anything to keep their schools on top, often at the sake of the environment. I was once fun diving with a dive operator, and one of the other guests was picking things up and grabbing onto corals in order to get a better look under a ledge, not to mention he was crashing constantly onto the sandy bottom. I signalled him to stop but got no response. After the dive I went to discuss it with the man (who was quite a bit older than me), and the response I got was surprising. He claimed that I shouldn’t speak to him about diving because he was certified before I was even born, and I didn’t know what I was on about. He also talked about his overwhelming experience compared to mine (he had 400 dives compared to my 2000…) and then asked to switch from my group. I was slightly angry from his response and told him that he may have been diving a lot longer than me, but at least when I was trained, instructors taught divers buoyancy control. Afterwards I discussed this with the dive leader, who sympathetically apologised, but he could do nothing about it, as “if I get a complaint or a bad Trip Advisor review I will lose my job”.
Unfortunately this diver had been all over the world, diving on some of the greatest reefs in the world, and probably violating them too. This is exactly the kind of diver who would travel to exotic locations, and return a few years later to say something along the lines of “The reef is nothing like it was 10 years ago”. I wonder if they ever think the reef degrades because a long line of other irresponsible divers are waiting to get their chance to smash a few corals and poke fish.
For me, the worst offenders are some photographers, who believe they have the right to do whatever they want to get the ‘perfect photograph’. While again, I have met many photographers who take absolute care not to get too near to the reef while getting their shots, I have also seen some who grab onto coral to stabilise themselves, or even worse, physically lying on the reef so buoyancy control isn’t even an issue. Some will spend 20 minutes blinding a poor creature with a bright external strobe, and some will even poke the creature to get it to ‘pose’ for them.
Although there are some divers out there who feel it is acceptable to act in an irresponsible manor, the majority are extremely against it. Photos and videos of dive guides and instructors harming or handling marine life spread like wild fire on social media sites, often with the outcome being that they lose their certifications. However as responsible divers we should not simply report any misconducts that we may witness. Education is the key, as many of the divers who act like this only do so because their instructors did while they were being taught. We need to be firm and explain why it is not acceptable behaviour, and if we see the same divers acting the same way, then we can think about getting the agencies involved. Unfortunately this is not an issue that we will see go away anytime soon.

As the world continues to become more networked, availability and access to a wide variety of data can often overwhelm people and obscure the information they are seeking. CUBRC’s scientists and software developers sit at the forefront of data science and multisource information fusion research, development, testing, and evaluation in an ever expanding data environment. Our work encompasses a class of technologies that turn massive amounts of data into actionable information for decision makers in government and commercial applications. CUBRC’s data extraction, alignment, analysis and systems optimization technologies provide powerful tools for use by government, business and industry to effectively utilize the data they have available to them; discover unseen relationships; make more informed decisions; and better understand their customers.
People are drowning in data but are still starving for information.
The CUBRC/University at Buffalo Center for Multisource Information Fusion (CMIF) was jointly established in 1997 as the first Information Fusion center of its kind. CMIF focuses on performing research, and the development of data alignment and analysis algorithms that efficiently and effectively help people answer questions and make decisions in “big data” environments. Paired with CUBRC’s software engineering and development capabilities, CMIF delivers fully functional and supported software systems in both Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and “cloud” based information data storage and analysis environments. CMIF’s educational mission supports the creation of the next generation of data scientists through formal education programs, internships and collaboration opportunities across a wide variety of application domains.
Work in the center is performed from two separate CMIF facilities. The first is located at the University at Buffalo, where basic research is conducted in an unclassified, academic environment. A second, secure facility performs applied through advanced research and systems software development supporting long-term technology transition into productized or fielded systems.
The Data Science and Information Fusion Group’s work in ontologies started in 2008. Since 2010, our participation in IARPA’s Knowledge, Discovery and Dissemination program focused our work on the development of the Common Core Ontologies (CCO). The CCO provide a base vocabulary that is to be extended to a fuller suite of ontologies that serve as the unified semantics for the content of all data sources within an enterprise. To accomplish this extension, the CCO is accompanied by a rule-guided method. The combination of the CCO and this methodology allows different groups within an enterprise to develop ontologies and still arrive at semantically interoperable models.
CUBRC specializes in providing advanced tools to help people that are overwhelmed by data to discover relationships and information from which they can rapidly make critical decisions. CUBRC’s healthcare informatics team has collaborated with leading physicians, providers, insurers, and medical device manufacturers to develop innovative predictive analytic methods designed to improve patient outcomes while managing cost. We specialize in combining clinical, demographic, and environmental information into a single picture to help our customers build on their strengths, respond to patient needs, predict intervention efficacy, and improve outcomes.

All this talk of extensions got me reminiscing about the near 10 years we have now been working on our place and i guess its kind of finished but as all of you know… “its never finished!”.
Brings back some great memories though and gets me itchy to get these hands busy building again!
Still on the remodel theme, here is another highly ambitious scheme i designed for clients in Oxfordshire in a AHLV (Area of High Landscape Value) so even more chuffed that we got planning fully approved at the end of last year.
The clients have now been working with our good friends at Oakwrights in respect of the structural oak frame and thermal encapsulation system which is a “no-brainer” once you understand the benefits in terms of off-site manufacture and therefore reduced site logistics and also high energy performance, all of which is achieved using naturally sourced insulation materials.
2012 was a good year mainly with lots of projects coming on board and good planning permissions being obtained for clients old and new… I have seen a sharp rise in extensions over the last couple of years and where these were perhaps frowned upon in years gone by, the exact opposite is now the case and some of the projects i have got my hands on are fantastic. I like to call them remodels rather than simply an extension as you really need to think a little outside the box nowadays and go the extra mile in terms of how you add extra space to buildings successfully both in terms of spatial flow and also cohesive architecture.
This project for example is currently in for planning at Babergh District Council in Suffolk and proposes significant extensions (remodels!) in oak frame to a 19th Century linear Suffolk cottage and whilst it would appear ambitious, i have designed it to be complementary to the host dwelling whilst at the same time creating a home that has exciting contemporary open plan layouts and large elements of glazing to promote natural solar gain.

PARIS, France – Even an occasional glass of wine or beer increases the risk of health problems and dying, according to a major study on drinking in 195 nations that attributes 2.8 million premature deaths worldwide each year to booze.
"The protective effect of alcohol was offset by the risks," Griswold told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in summarizing the results, published in medical journal The Lancet on Friday, August 24.
Compared to abstinence, imbibing one "standard drink" – 10 grammes of alcohol, equivalent to a small beer, glass of wine or shot of spirits – per day, for example, ups the odds of developing at least one of two dozen health problems by about half-a-percent, the researchers reported.
Looked at one way, that seems like a small increment: 914 out of 100,000 teetotallerse will encounter those problems, compared to 918 people who imbibe 7 times per week.
"But at the global level, that additional risk of 0.5% among (once-a-day) drinkers corresponds to about 100,000 additional deaths each year," said senior author Emmanuela Gakidou, a professor at the University of Washington and a director at the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
An average of two drinks per day, for example, translated into a 7.0% hike in disease and injury compared to those who opt for abstinence.
With 5 "units" of alcohol per day, the likelihood of serious consequences jumps by 37%.
"The evidence shows what the evidence shows, and I – like 2.4 billion other people on the planet that also consume alcohol – need to take it seriously."
Overall, drinking was the seventh leading risk factor for premature death and disease in 2016, accounting for just over 2% of deaths in women and nearly 7% in men.
The top 6 killers are high blood pressure, smoking, low-birth weight and premature delivery, high blood sugar (diabetes), obesity and pollution.
But in the 15-49 age bracket, alcohol emerged as the most lethal factor, responsible for more than 12% of deaths among men, the study found.
The examination of impacts drew from more than 600 earlier studies, while a country-by-country tally of prevalence – the percentage of men and women who drink, and how much they consume – drew from another 700.
Among men, drinking alcohol in 2016 was most widespread in Denmark (97%), along with Norway, Argentina, Germany, and Poland (94%).
In Asia, South Korean men took the lead, with 91% hitting the bottle at least once in a while.
Among women, Danes also ranked first (95%), followed by Norway (91%), Germany and Argentina (90%), and New Zealand (89%).
Men in Romania who partake knocked back a top-scoring 8 drinks a day on average, with Portugal, Luxembourg, Lithuania and Ukraine just behind at 7 "units" per day.
Ukranian women who drink were in a league of their own, putting away more than 4 glasses or shots every 24 hours, followed by Andorra, Luxembourg, Belarus, Sweden, Denmark, Ireland and Britain, all averaging about 3 per day.

Which incubators are suitable for laboratory use?
[Abstract]: The incubator is a special constant-temperature device that is widely used in water analysis and 800 measurements, cultivation, preservation of bacteria, mold, microorganisms, plant cultivation, and breeding experiments. Many of my friends will ask what kind of incubators there are. If it is the use of laboratories, which incubators should we choose? Guangzhou Kenton tells you which incubators are suitable for the laboratory.
(1) Thermostatic incubator: It should be selected from water-type or transistor-type self-controlled temperature incubator. Such incubators have high sensitivity and stable temperature control. The main heating methods can be divided into two types: water jacket type and electric film type. The electric heating film is directly heated by heating the electric film attached to the inner wall, and the water jacket type is heating the outer water layer to heat the interior again. Both heating methods have their own advantages. The electric heating film is heated more quickly and can be cultured within a short time so that the internal temperature reaches the desired temperature. Water jackets are better than stability. The thermostatic incubator is generally cheaper, and its disadvantage is that it is only suitable for closed culture.
(2) CO2 incubator: At present, carbon dioxide incubators have been widely used in most cell culture chambers. The advantage of the CO2 incubator is that it can provide a certain amount of CO2 (usually 5%) required for cell culture, and it is easy to stabilize the pH of the culture solution. It is suitable for open or semi-open culture. When using a culture bottle, the bottle cap can be loosened slightly to keep the inside of the culture bottle ventilated. To avoid contamination of the cells, the air in the incubator must be kept clean and ultraviolet radiation must be used regularly when using this culture method. Or alcohol disinfection, and in the incubator should be placed in a tank filled with sterile distilled water to prevent evaporation of the culture solution, maintaining the relative humidity within the box at 100%.
Is today's content helpful to you? If you want to learn more about the role of the incubator in the laboratory or intend to purchase the incubator, please feel free to call the Guangzhou Kenton service hotline and we will provide you with satisfactory service.

Traditionally, shampoo comes in a liquid form, in a bottle. Some are thicker than others, but it’s all definitely liquid. Well being the innovators that they are, cosmetics company Lush have developed the solid shampoo. It looks and feels exactly like a bar of soap, but you use it on your hair! Simply lather it up in your hands as you would soap, and then rub into your hair, and simply rinse off!
There are more than ten different varieties, from The Blonde (pictured) which, as the name suggests, will restore faded blondes to their former glory, at there’s even one called Hard, which is specially developed for people who live in hard water areas to help reduce the effects of hard water on hair.
If you look after your shampoo bar properly by keeping it dry (Lush also make a handy shampoo bar tin), then it should last for about 70 washes. They range in price from £3.50 to £5.25, which is pretty good value considering how long they last, and as with all Lush products only natural ingredients are used and they’re not tested on animals.
Have a look in your local Lush store or online and embrace the solid revolution!

Guitar orchestra had a really fun quarter this last fall, playing music the lilting melodies from Catalonia arranged by the Canadian virtuoso guitarist and composer William Beauvais. We welcomed two new members in the group in Joel Beerman and Bob Stuart. There is always a bit of a bump in learning the art of listening to others, and feeling the pulse together and then juggling the notes and rhythms on the page with everyone else's complimenting and opposing notes, while at the same time working to shape the phrases dynamically, or with a pleasant color or ritardando. Bob and Joel were quick to integrate into the whole and by the third week our rehearsals were reaching the level of a well structured jam session. The arrangements posed some interesting and challenging treatments of the Catalonian melodies in that our first selection Le Filla de Marxant featured the basses playing in 3/4 throughout the entire piece while the melody, part 1 was in 6/8 and part 2 and 3 explored accents in between the pulses of 6/8 and 3/4. Throughout the three pieces we played Alex Lew and Aidrien Wilkins did a fantastic job leading the group with clear playing, and beautiful tone. Tommy Hoag and James McCormick played the intricate countermelodies with grace and aplomb and Charles Stanton and Bob Stuart and David Fetrow did a fantastic job keeping a very solid groove on a tricky syncopated part. Joel Beerman, Calvin Senter and Faye Alesse played the ¾ part mentioned earlier as solidly as you could ask of anyone and by the time of our performances we had a lovely lilt. El Mestre and El Noy De La Mare were the two other arrangements the Guitar Orchestra of Seattle played. El mestre featured a beautiful pianissimo intro starting in 3 with a noble and mysterious series of open 5ths and octaves and then the familiar melody emerged from the mist of open fifths to then become harmonized with part 2 and 3. A contrasting major theme was played with vigor by those on part 4, Joel, Faye and Calvin, while those on part 1 had a delightful sequence of descending ligados from above the 12th fret on the 1st string to an open e and then then back, or in the parlance of the rock guitarist, some cool pull offs. The last piece El Noi de La Mare featured some more tricky syncopated countermelodies for Tommy and James on part 2, and Charles and Bob and David did a lovely job when the melody came to their part in part three, while the rest of the group supported them.
We had a lovely time playing for the Seattle Classic Guitar Society open mic and the Holiday Concert is one of the biggest events for us in the whole year. It was a real delight to play with everyone who came up at the end of the concert to play while people in the audience sand Silent Night.
It was fun and rewarding and a fair amount of work to accomplish this program within the amount of time given, but there was more. In fact a 30 minute Mass for Christmas called Misse de Noel by the 17th century French Composer Marc-Antoine Charpentier and the Guitar Orchestra of Seattle rose to the occasion to accompany two choirs, a harpsichord, bass and cello and play the part orginally written for the viol. The parts, all in first position and one key, did not look so intimidating at the first glance. But upon further inspection the challenge was clearly in being able to understand where your “simple” part was in literal chorus of singers, 4 parts, and accompanying orchestra, the before mentioned, 2 flutes, cello, bass and harpsichord. And, there were only two rehearsals. We did rehearse this piece in parts a few times, and while playing our viol part alone it seemed that this was a challenge but not outside of our range. There is an interesting feature in the music of this time called notes inégales which is quite similar to the swung rhythm in jazz. Adopting this rhythmic approach was fun and intuitive after a short introduction, however the before mentioned bump of playing with an ensemble, reared its ugly head again and it was disarming for some to realize that there were sometimes 7 different sections within one movement, that featured numerous rests to count, radical tempos changes and an interesting feature of quarter notes remaining the same but the pulse moves to the half notes with time signature changes of 4/4 at 120 to 3/2. Despite a significant bump in skills needed to listen to the orchestra and singers, watch the conductor and not get lost, or how to find your spot if you did, the Guitar Orchestra of Seattle rose to the occasion in splendid form, having fun on the day of the performance and supporting the singers in a very musical way. Of special note was David Fetrow's playing in this configuration as he was given the bass line ot the continuo all by himself. I was so impressed with how loud and clear he played. His contribution was very large in creating a support in many places where the rest of the orchestra would stop and he held his own!
The Guitar Orchestra returned to St John's United Methodist on the solstice, December 21st to play for those being served at the homeless shelter.
You can join the Guitar Orchestra or have us play for you.
The Guitar Orchestra meets once a week for two hours on Tuesday nights 7 to 9 in the Phinney neighborhood in Seattle. We normally have three sessions a year that run for 10 weeks with three to four performances at the end of the session. Mark arranges or writes 90% of the music played, thus giving the musicians an opportunity to work with either the composer or someone intimately acquainted with the arrangement.
Guitar Orchestra is starting Tuesday, April 3rd at 7:00 at 5515 Phinney avenue, St John's United across from the Woodland park zoo. The Spring quarters theme is good grooves and will feature the music of Penguin Cafe and Led Zeppelin.

Mark Hilliard Wilson is the conductor, composer, arranger and musical coach to the Guitar Orchestra of Seattle; also known as GuitarChestra. Wilson runs the Guitar Orchestra as a workshop, open to all levels of classical guitarists. The goal of the workshops are to get the (solo) classical guitarist out of his or her basement, bedroom, living room and into the fraternity of fellow guitarist so we can all make music together. Wilson has run 30 workshops over the last 10 years, often writing most of the music performed. There is always a specific focus of the music; some of which have been programs exploring the cultures of the Silk Road, Latin America, Spain along with obscure composers from the late 18th century such as Jan Kritic Neruda and Johann David Henichen. Some of the venues Guitar Orchestra has played are Nordstrom Recital hall, Victoria Conservatory in British Columbia, Soundbridge, Phinney Neighborhood Center, and the annual Seattle Classic Guitar Society Holiday Concert at the Seattle Mennonite Church.
The Guitar Orchestra is a collective of classical guitarists in the Seattle area that work on diverse programs and build community.

The contest earlier between the Boston Celtics and the Chicago Bulls proved to be very one sided as the Celtics got a fairly comfortable victory with the scores being 111-82. The Chicago Bulls look good early on in the ball game getting an early lead in the first stages of the game but once the Boston Celtics locked in their defense and once their offense started to flow and the ball was moving around at a very high pace, The Bulls quickly fell behind failing to gain any moment throughout the whole battle which then resulted in them losing a game which could have been a very competitive contest. The win for the Boston Celtics improves their season record to 8 wins and 6 losses, the loss for the Chicago Bulls further hurts their season record with 4 wins and 11 losses.
The scoring was fairly divided between the heavily stacked Celtics squad with no one scoring over 20 points. The highest scorer on the team was Jaylen Brown with 18 points (8-14 FG), 6 rebounds, 3 assists, and 1 steal. Kyrie Irving posted a stat line of 17 points (6-8 FG), 6 rebounds, 7 assists, and 2 steals showing a very good game and showing signs of healthy Kyrie which should be explosive later on in the season. Jayson Tatum also played a good performance for the second year star scoring a total of 14 points and getting 6 rebounds to help the Celtics and just truly shows the variety of fire power the Boston Celtics really has and in time this is going to be a problem for a lot of teams in the future.
The Boston Celtics next face the Milwaukee Bucks which should be a show down in the East to see who is the early season powerhouse proving to be a must win for both sides going into the contest. In case you missed the game below are highlights!

The Allan Glen's Endowment Scholarship Trust awards scholarships to students of Glasgow schools who are about to study engineering at a British university.
During the 2017 to 2018 university year, AGEST supported 12 students in their engineering studies at Scottish universities. All 12 passed their exams and 2 of them have now graduated.
At a ceremony in the City Chambers on 26 October, Councillor Chris Cunningham, Chair of Glasgow City Council’s Education Committee, welcomed four new first year engineering students into membership as Scholars of the Allan Glen’s Scholarship Trust.
Georgia Harvey (Ross Hall Academy) will be doing Aerospace Engineering at Glasgow, while both Pearse Murray (Holyrood Secondary) and Steven Muirhead (Smithycroft) will be studying Chemical Engineering at Strathclyde. Scott McClafferty, from Springburn Academy, is now also at Strathclyde, having embarked on a degree in Civil Engineering.
These four comprise the biggest ever intake into the Allan Glen Scholarship Scheme, but the Trust’s assessors, Ian Valentine and Professor Scott MacGregor had advised the Trustees that the quality of applicants this year was exceptionally high and that it would be very hard to argue a case against the inclusion of any one of them.
The Trust is currently assisting some 20 students through their engineering degrees at Scottish universities. The three who started university in 2009 all did so well in the first four (BEng) years that they were selected to do a fifth (MEng) year, and the trustees agreed to continue the funding for them.
From 2002 to date we have supported over two dozen students while they study engineering at University.
