Regular practice of pranayama expands our lung capacity, increases vitality and brings about balance to the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems which relates to our fight or flight reactions. Conscious breathing patterns boosts our immunity, frees us of anxiety and depression and addictive patterns and behaviour.
Meditation is for everyone. It uses the inherent self-sensory system, the mind, and the body. Through the use of refined patterns, meditation creates a communication between you and your mind, and between your mind and your body. Generally speaking, meditation makes you feel great. With regular practice it will relieve years of built-up stress and anxiety so you can be the person you truly are … at home and at work. It will allow the best of you to “shine through”.

Jordan Brand’s Cap & Gown series continues this year with a new silhouette following last year’s Jordan 11. This time, the Air Jordan 13 will receive its diploma sporting a new triple-black color scheme, a first for the legendary shoe.
The Air Jordan Cap & Gown series continues in 2019. Initially debuted last year with the first-ever release of a blacked out Air Jordan 11, the project was meant to both pay homage to the 11’s history as a dress shoe, as well as promoting the idea of graduating and pursuing higher education. In addition to last year’s standard release procedures, Nike granted early access to the highly sought-after shoes to select high schools, as well as distributing free pairs amongst students whose GPA scores met a certain standard set by the Swoosh. Now, with the first images of a triple black take on the Air Jordan 13 surfacing online, experience tells us Nike will announce similar high school-oriented ventures as we inch closer to the actual release.
The blacked-out new Air Jordan 13 Retro is expected to release on April 27th, 2019, though this is yet to be confirmed by Jordan Brand. The “Cap & Gown” colorway of the AJ13 will retail for a hefty $200, releasing from both Nike and select retailers. Check out the official images below for a better look, and stay tuned to JustFreshKicks for more Jordan release news.

I spoke with Mackena Bell last week by phone about her NASCAR Nationwide debut today at Phoenix.
She’s excited about the opportunity, but realistic about her chances.
The Nationwide car is heavier and has more power than the K&N Pro Series car she’s used to, but she doesn’t see that as a problem. Fortunately, she won’t have to worry about qualifying, as the car has enough owner points to lock her into the race. Bell is hoping this ride is going to lead to further opportunities in racing, perhaps in ARCA, Camping World Trucks, or Nationwide. Friday practice went well, and she improved her time to within 1.5 seconds of leader Kyle Busch.
After the post-race brawl in Texas on Sunday, I wonder if some of the NASCAR Chase contenders are considering switching their activities to the Ultimate Fighting Championships.
It was Brad Keselowski’s second physical confrontation in the Chase, this time with Jeff Gordon instead of Matt Kenseth.
The whole thing began as a war of words until Kevin Harvick appeared and shoved Keselowski forward into Gordon’s grasp, and then it was on. And by the next morning, the term “Harvicking” was all over social media. I think if the Sprint Cup drivers were polled right now on the “Most Popular Driver,” Keselowski would come in dead last. NASCAR reviewed the videotapes of the fight, and issued harsh penalties on Tuesday.
Two Hendrick crew chiefs, Alan Gustafson and Kenny Francis, were fined $50,000 each and put on probation for the next three point races. Suspensions and fines were also issued for several crew members whose actions were termed “over the line.” Oh, by the way, Jimmie Johnson actually won the race, not that anyone noticed.
NASCAR certainly got more coverage on TV than it usually gets, with video of the brawl prominently featured on morning and evening news shows for several days.
I’m sure the NASCAR marketing folks are high-fiving each other for this unexpected attention.
With one more race to go in the Eliminator round, you can expect some real fireworks at Phoenix on Sunday. The flat one-mile oval won’t see the high speeds of Texas, so you might see somebody get roughed up a bit, especially if Gordon is having a bad day and decides on a little retaliation. Speaking of Gordon, he has three victories at Phoenix, second only to Harvick who’s first among active drivers with five wins, including three of the last four.
Edwards has two, including last year’s Chase round. Ryan Newman, Denny Hamlin, and Kenseth have each posted one win at Phoenix, while the two Penske drivers, Keselowski and Joey Logano, are winless there. If another “Chase Buster” driver wins tomorrow, the top four in points of the eight remaining Chase drivers is going to advance to the final round. At the moment those four are Logano and Hamlin with 4,072 points each, Newman with 4,070, and Gordon with 4,060. Kenseth and Edwards each have 4,059, just one point out, While Keselowski has 4,055 and Harvick 4,054. So everybody is still in play.
There was another race in Texas last Sunday, as the Formula 1 series visited the Circuit of the Americas in Austin for the third year. Once again, the Mercedes team was dominant, with Nico Rosberg starting on pole and Lewis Hamilton alongside. Hamilton stalked his teammate and finally made a textbook pass for the lead, pulling away for a convincing win. Rosberg’s second-place finish ensured he would stay close enough in points the drivers’ championship won’t be decided until the final race. The next race is in Brazil this weekend with the season finale two weeks later in Abu Dhabi.

Assisted Website Migration - what exactly does it mean, what it implies and how to employ it to tranfer your websites between separate hosts?
If you are searching for a better web hosting service and want to change your service provider, you will have to migrate the site content to the hosting servers of the new firm. While this can be carried out quickly for a small HTML Internet site, it can be more difficult to migrate a script-driven Internet site, which uses a database, let alone if you have a number of Internet sites. You shall have to transfer a lot of files, databases and e-mails, not mentioning that you will have to import everything on the new hosting server and adjust many system settings in order to get the sites online on the new web hosting platform. To save you the time and the effort to migrate your content, we offer a totally free site migration service, so depending on the kind of hosting and the specific plan that you select, our tech support will be able to migrate even a number of websites for you, making certain that the way they look and function will be identical.
The service is available with each and every hosting service that we supply, so the moment your new account is operational, you can contact us to arrange the migration procedure. Our professional technical support can move even multiple sites depending on the particular plan which you have signed up for and will check out each one of them on our end to make certain that everything runs properly once you point your domain to our innovative cloud hosting platform. Thus, you'll not see any downtime of your Internet sites since the exact same content will show up as soon as the new domain name servers propagate. We can easily relocate any type of site, including a custom-built one, provided that it runs on a Linux-powered server and it isn't built using a closed-source platform such as Wix or Weebly since we cannot access the actual site files. The entire migration procedure is typically carried out within 24-48 hours and we shall let you know the moment we are done.
If you purchase a semi-dedicated hosting account from our company, we'll be able to relocate your content totally free even in case you have a number of Internet sites under different domains. Because our top-notch cloud hosting platform employs Linux, your current host needs to use this Operating System also and you shouldn't be using a closed-source online site design service like Weebly, Mr. Site or Jimdo as they do not allow the site files to be accessed, hence we can't relocate this kind of an Internet site. It typically doesn't take more than 48 hrs from the time you arrange the migration with our support team to the time everything is relocated and ready, so that you can start using our services instantly. You will be able to take advantage for any custom-made website or for one which you have developed with a script-driven app including Joomla, PrestaShop, Moodle or WordPress. Once everything is ready, we shall notify you and you can change the name servers of your domains to point them to your new account. Because the content will be identical on both servers, your visitors won't see any downtime during the DNS update propagation.
In case you sign up for one of our Linux VPS, we shall be able to move many sites from your current hosting service provider at no additional charge on top of the monthly VPS price. Because our hosting servers run on Linux, your sites should also be running on such a machine and they should not be developed with a closed online platform such as Wix or Jimdo, but besides that there are no limits in regards to what the sites have to be - WordPress, Joomla, OpenCart or custom-built ones. Our knowledgeable tech support team will start the migration as soon as your Virtual Private Server is ready and you contact them. The length of time for the migration varies according to the number of sites and their size, but typically the whole procedure doesn't take more than 48 hrs and this time includes extensive testing to make certain that all sites will work properly on our end. You could change the name servers of the domains which you would like to host on the VPS as soon as we inform you that the data has been moved and you'll not see any downtime as the exact same content shall be available on both hosting servers.
If you wish to use one of our Linux dedicated hosting, we can relocate any kind of site, no matter if it is a forum, a WordPress blog, an e-commerce portal or any other custom Internet site. We can't migrate just websites created with site builders like Wix, Yola or Jimdo due to the fact that they don't give access to the website data files, consequently we are unable to obtain the content in any way. Any other site that can run on a Linux machine can be moved within 48 hours to your new dedicated server and not just will our tech support team set everything up, but they shall also examine your Internet site to make sure its proper functioning on our end. As our web hosting servers are rather powerful and can support loads of script programs running all at once, there won't be any difficulty to migrate even multiple sites and you won't have to pay anything on top of the dedicated server monthly fee. When our tech support team is done with the migration, they shall let you know and you may update the name servers of all domains that you'd like to host on the server. During the propagation time, the Internet sites shall load either from your new account on our end or from the servers of the old host, but since the content will be the exact same, the site visitors won't notice any downtime.

[chlm][pts][upal] I have heard that on one occasion the Blessed One was staying at Sāvatthi, in Jeta's Grove, Anāthapiṇḍika's monastery. There he addressed the monks: "Monks!"
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through having a high-ranking family that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through having a high-ranking family that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one has not gone forth from a high-ranking family, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for having a high-ranking family nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity goes forth from a great family... a family of great wealth... a family of extensive wealth. He notices, 'I have gone forth from a family of extensive wealth, but these other monks have not gone forth from a family of extensive wealth.' He exalts himself for having a family of extensive wealth and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through having a family of extensive wealth that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through having a family of extensive wealth that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one has not gone forth from a family of extensive wealth, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for having a family of extensive wealth nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity is well-known and highly regarded. He notices, 'I am well-known and highly regarded, but these other monks are hardly known and have hardly any influence.' He exalts himself for being well-known and highly regarded and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through being well-known and highly regarded that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through being well-known and highly regarded that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one is not well-known and highly regarded, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for being well-known nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity is one who gains robe-cloth, alms-food, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick. He notices, 'I am one who gains robe-cloth, alms-food, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick, but these other monks are not ones who gain robe-cloth, alms-food, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick. He exalts himself for being one who gains robe-cloth, alms-food, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through gains that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through gains that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one is not one who gains robe-cloth, alms-food, lodgings, and medicinal requisites for the sick, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for his gains nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity is learned... a master of the Vinaya... a Dhamma-speaker. He notices, 'I am a Dhamma-speaker, but these other monks are not Dhamma-speakers. He exalts himself for being a Dhamma-speaker and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through being a Dhamma-speaker that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through being a Dhamma-speaker that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one is not a Dhamma-speaker, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for being a Dhamma-speaker nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity is a wilderness dweller. He notices, 'I am a wilderness dweller, but these other monks are not wilderness dwellers.' He exalts himself for being a wilderness dweller and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through being a wilderness dweller that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through being a wilderness dweller that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one is not a wilderness dweller, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for being a wilderness dweller nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity is one who wears robes of thrown-away rags... an alms-goer... one who dwells at the root of a tree... a cemetery dweller... one who lives in the open air... one who doesn't lie down... one who is content with whatever dwelling is assigned to him... one who eats only one meal a day. He notices, 'I am one who eats only one meal a day, but these other monks do not eat only one meal a day.' He exalts himself for being one who eats only one meal a day and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"But a person of integrity notices, 'It's not through being one who eats only one meal a day that the quality of greed goes to its end; it's not through being one who eats only one meal a day that the quality of aversion... the quality of delusion goes to its end. Even though one is not one who eats only one meal a day, if — practicing the Dhamma in line with the Dhamma, practicing masterfully — he is one who follows the Dhamma, he is to be honored for that, praised for that.' So, giving priority just to the practice, he neither exalts himself for being one who eats only one meal a day nor disparages others. This is the quality of a person of integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity — secluded from sensuality, secluded from unskillful qualities, enters and remains in the first jhāna: rapture and pleasure born of seclusion, accompanied by directed thought and evaluation. He notices, 'I have gained the attainment of the first jhāna, but these other monks have not gained the attainment of the first jhāna.' He exalts himself for the attainment of the first jhāna and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
"And further, a person of no integrity... enters and remains in the second jhāna... the third jhāna... the fourth jhāna... the dimension of the infinitude of space... the dimension of the infinitude of consciousness... the dimension of nothingness... the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception. He notices, 'I have gained the attainment of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception, but these other monks have not gained the attainment of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception.' He exalts himself for the attainment of the dimension of neither perception nor non-perception and disparages others. This is the quality of a person of no integrity.
 The nine practices mentioned here — being a wilderness dweller, one who wears robes of thrown-away rags, an alms-goer, one who dwells at the root of a tree, a cemetery dweller, one who lives in the open air, one who doesn't lie down, one who is content with whatever dwelling is assigned to him, or one who eats only one meal a day — are among the thirteen optional ascetic (dhutaṅga) practices that monks may undertake. The other four are: possessing only one set of the triple robe, bypassing no donors on one's almsround, eating only from one's bowl, and not accepting food brought after one's almsround. All thirteen practices are listed in Thag 16.7.
 In other words, whatever the condition of the ground on which one might base a state of becoming — a sense of one's self or the world one inhabits — by the time that state of becoming has taken shape, the ground has already changed. In this case, if one tries to shape a sense of self around one's attainment of jhāna, the attainment itself has already changed.

The President. Well, thank you very much. To our distinguished guests here and to all the members of this important mission team, I just wanted to come by tonight to wish you well as you leave on this important mission. I view it, really, as a mission of tremendous importance, a historymaking journey to a country that's making history every day.
Secretary Yeutter. He'll come later.
The President. -- -- and certainly Elizabeth Dole, and to Dr. Mike Boskin over here: You lead a delegation of tremendous experience and talent. Together, it's a cross-section of the private sector institutions that constitute democracy's great strength and gives practical meaning to the principles of free government.
Helping Poland rejoin the community of free nations is a task that simply cannot be accomplished by government alone. It depends on building the countless exchanges that take place every day among businesses and organized labor and the academic community and their counterparts in other free countries. The trip you're making is really the first step in that process.
As you know, I'm taking a trip of my own this weekend. And in my meetings with Mr. Gorbachev and afterwards with our NATO allies, I can assure you that the historic developments that have taken place in Poland -- and of course, elsewhere in Central and Eastern Europe -- will be high on our agenda. I will be anxious to hear your report on the ways that we can help Poland achieve its democratic destiny and become a model of transition for these other states -- a model of transition to a free economy. And your work can be of great help to other countries in Eastern Europe as they move towards economic reform.
I am very pleased that the initiatives that I've proposed last summer for aid to Poland and Hungary have become a reality. In just a few moments, I will sign into law a package authorizing 8 million in American aid over the next 3 years, and that will enable the United States to do its part to encourage these two nations on the road to reform. We've got to recognize, though, the fact that dollars alone will not make the difference. Think back to the economic miracle of Western Europe after the Second World War. The secret to that success wasn't the price tag on the aid that we sent. Our aid came with our advice, our example, and the full engagement of our private sector in shaping the free-market system that has generated unprecedented prosperity all across Western Europe. And that lesson holds true for Poland today. Our aid must be seed money for free market reform and for the involvement of our private sector.
Lane Kirkland -- I see Lane back there, but I don't see Bob Georgine. Is he there? There he is. Normally, they're in the front row -- something's gone awry here. [Laughter] But with Lane and Bob here, I might say that you all heard, I'm sure, Lech Walesa in his address to the AFL - CIO when he joked about that strange twist of fate, that it fell to a Polish trade unionist to launch a publicity campaign for private entrepreneurship.
What we want for Poland, and what the Polish people want for themselves, is to begin a process of economic development that is self-sustaining, a process that puts free market principles on a firm foundation -- and because the fate of Polish reform, indeed, Poland's future as a free nation, depends upon its ability to build a functioning, productive economy.
It's with missions like yours that the real work begins. I urge you to make the most of it. So, talk to your counterparts in all parts of Polish society. Find out what kinds of investment, what kind of expertise will help Poland succeed in transforming its economy -- and then in the larger transformation that flows into a fully free nation. Every one of you can contribute; every one of you can be a catalyst for change at this critical moment in Poland's history. You're all busy people; you're all successful people. And the fact that you are willing to undertake this very important assignment for your country -- that means a great deal, and I am grateful to each and every single one of you.
And so, as you begin this fascinating mission, I really wanted to come across and wish you the very best. I hope, Clayton, if you get far enough along, you or Elizabeth or Bob, that maybe you can be in touch with General Scowcroft or Secretary Baker or me in Malta. I want to know how this goes. And if it's not too soon to get an impression, I'd like to hear it there in Malta, and then it would give me flexibility in my talks with the General Secretary.
So, it's important work you're involved in. And Godspeed, and good luck, and thank you very much for doing this. And now let me just sign this Support for Eastern European Democracy Act, the act of 1989 -- sign that into law. God bless you all, and thank you.
Note: The President spoke at 7:45 p.m. at Blair House. In his remarks, he referred to Michael J. Boskin, Chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers; Lane Kirkland, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations; Robert Georgine, president of the building and construction trades department of the AFL - CIO; and Brent Scowcroft, Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs. Following his remarks, the President signed H.R. 3402, which was assigned Public Law No. 101 - 179.

Mason told me, "I would be very much in favor of [an opportunity-scholarship program]. Many youngsters who could benefit cannot afford it at this time. I have in mind right now a mother who had her child in our school in the fall. She lost her job and just can't afford to keep her child here. That would be exactly the first person we would help with a program like that.
"There are so many out there in our community. These are hard times, with parents losing jobs. We have some come here that we do not even know, seeking a better school for their children.
"I am for a program like that, without question. I know that we could make that work, and make it real for our children. We have 110 students right now. If that program existed, we could help another 90 children get the kind of education we are offering here."

It has been over 3 years since I created a new program. Since then I have worked with many clients. Over 10 years I have gained so much insights on what clients are wanting male and female. We want to look good naked in the mirror, we want to have energy, longevity and a positive outlook on life. We want something that works. We do not want to be tied to eating rabbit food or not actually living our life.
One thing that I know that is hard is, THIS TAKES WORK. It takes making a change and getting outside the norm that got you where you don't want to be. This isn't just done with our food. This is done with our routine, our emotions and by gaining more knowledge on what is right.

A software MIDI synthesizer for Windows, which functions as a VSTi plugin. Supports both the Yamaha XG and the Roland GS extensions, which is a unique feature of the S-YXG50. It is based on the trial version from the Yamaha SOL2 package. The full version of this VSTi had never been released, because Yamaha had decided to discontinue support of all its software synthesizers in 2003. Fortunately, the trial version have a full version of the S-YXG50 engine, so it is possible to remove the trial restrictions to get a full version. In addition to the removed trial restrictions this patch adds the portability (installation and registry keys are not needed), also it uses embedded into the DLL resources the 4MB official wavetable files, which is the best version of wavetable files for the S-YXG50.
Yamaha S-YXG50 was released in 1997. First versions were shipped with the simplified 2MB version of the wavetable, and the full 4MB version was published only in 2001. It seems that the cause of this is low amount of RAM in the computers of 90s. Both versions of the wavetable files were created in 1996 (4MB in February, simplified 2MB in July). Possibly, the full 4MB version is a dump of the WAVE ROM of the Yamaha MU80 / MU50 / QS300 / DB50XG / DB60XG / SW60XG / MU10, because the Yamaha S-YXG50 soft synthesizer is very similar to this series of hardware of 1994-1996.

Defence minister Nirmala Sitharaman Sunday slammed the Opposition and the Congress in particular for questioning the air strikes in Pakistan after the Pulwama terror attack and accused them of politicising it.
The BJP government gave freedom to the armed forces to act and they delivered, she said. Sitharaman also accused the previous Congress-led UPA government of not taking a similar deterrent action following the November 26, 2008 terror attacks in Mumbai and claimed that the Army was willing to respond if the then government wanted them to do something. "If only a similar deterrent action had been taken after the Mumbai attack and I have enough reasons to believe the armed forces did tell the government at that time, if you want us to do something we are ready, but we want you to take the call...," she said.
Her statement comes two days after Sam Pitroda, chief of Indian Overseas Congress, asked the government to come out with "more facts" on the Balakot air strikes. Prime Minister Modi, using the hashtag 'Janta Maaf Nahi Karegi' (people will not forgive) in a tweet, had attacked Pitroda for reportedly saying he wanted to "know more" about the Balakot air attack, including the number of terrorists killed.
Several BJP leaders, including BJP chief Amit Shah, slammed Pitroda for his remarks. Referring to the Balakot air strikes, she said the Prime Minister had clearly said it was now up to the armed forces to take the call on how to proceed and that freedom was given to them. "When action was taken by us...what is being asked how many people did you actually kill...what is the proof. It is absolutely shocking conduct. The morale of the armed forces is being hit at. So, when the Opposition is questioning you are questioning them (armed forces) and then you keep telling us that don't politicise Balakot. You are the one who is politicising it by asking us for proof by asking the government did you really kill terrorists or did you really cross the border. Pakistan can ask it..," Sitharaman said addressing an event 'Telangana For Modi' organised by 'Modi Army' (supporters of Modi) here.
Speaking at another event, Sitharaman alleged that not respecting armed forces, but to bring them to shame to make them kneel down to their interests and even defame them has been the approach of the Congress party. The government, Sitharaman said, had credible information that more such (Pulwama like) suicide terror attacks may happen and to prevent such attacks "we had to take a pre-emptive strike in Balakot." Sitharaman was addressing an ex-servicemen and intellectuals meet here organised by BJP candidate N Ramchander Rao who is contesting from the Malkajgiri Lok Sabha segment. They (opposition) even had the courage to ask the government for evidence, she said. Sitharaman said during the 1971 Indo-Pak war, over 90,000 Pakistan soldiers were sent back unconditionally by India. But, they (Pakistan) have been terrible in terms of record of dealing with PoW, the Defence minister said.
"I still feel heavy in my heart when I think of our soldier Kalia who was caught and mutilated. Justice has to be given to him. It's not been given..his parents are going around and saying no justice for my son and that's the Pakistan we are talking of," she said. During the 1999 Kargil conflict, Captain Saurabh Kalia was tortured by his Pakistani captors who later handed over his mutilated body to India. "And after our PoW (referring to Wing Commander Abhinandan Varthaman), who was held by Pakistan, was sent back ... in Pakistan that was touted as a peaceful gesture," and demands were even made in Pakistan that Prime Minister (Imran Khan) should be given nobel prize.
Varthaman was captured by Pakistan on February 27 after his MiG 21 Bison went down during a dogfight with Pakistani jets. But before his plane was hit, Varthaman shot down a F-16 of Pakistan air force. Sitharaman said she could understand Pakistan saying that. "Why would some sections in India speak that voice. I was astonished... Who are these people mentioning it and the political parties who are supporting them. We do not want this and therefore the return of Narendra Modi (back to power at the Centre) is important," Sitharaman said.
Referring to the 26/11 terror attacks in Mumbai, she said "...so many lives were lost in the attack and clear evidence showed Pakistan had perpetrated it. You (then Congress government) don't give the freedom to the armed forces to even stand up with honour. "That's what this government has done and gave the freedom to the armed forces that you decide the time, you decide the way and how to handle because you are the best persons to handle it," Sitharaman said. It wouldn't have been necessary if only the previous government had taken a deterrent measure after the Mumbai attack, Sitharaman said.
Pakistan, which kept saying it was also a victim of terror attack after the Pulwama incident, also did not take action against camps where terrorists were being trained. "Therefore we had to take the action," Sitharaman added. Addressing BJP workers, Sitharaman said dynasty politics was not good for democracy and the BJP did not practice it. She said the Modi government had acted firmly against terrorists by carrying out strikes twice, once in 2016 after the Uri attack and now after Pulwama by not only destroying terror camps in PoK, but also in Pakistan,. Sitharaman said efforts had been made to control Naxalism, which has come down.

I’m now at a point where I have 3 services, one written by us, two by others running and communicating on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. My service is builD through a two-stage CI process on DockerHub, with the first stage being public, and the second private. The private docker images are pulled by Beanstalk through an S3-hosted encrypted permissions file that the EC2 instances are granted permissions to read.
The biggest time-waster that we faced in deploying the services was getting Dockerrun.aws.json just right. The format itself is quite simple, and similar to, but subtly different from the docker-compose format. This in itself was not too much of a bother… Once we figured out just where the two differed. Unfortunately, Elastic Beanstalk exacerbates the issue but providing worse-than-useless debugging output when you get the format wrong.
This is an indication that your Dockerrun.aws.json file is wrong (or missing!). But do NOT expect it to be an indication of how it is wrong. In-fact, the message is just about the opposite of what I had wrong.
One of the main issues I had was that my command property for one of my services was a string, but it should have been an array. Docker-Compose allows this, but Dockerrun doesn’t. I ended up reading the ECS Task-Definition Parameters manual with much more scrutiny and realized my mistake. Part of why it took me so long to do so was because of the misleading error message.
Error found in the “command” property of the “promises_backend” service-definition.
Prior to my discovery of the solution, if you had told me that you were getting this error, then I would have said “give up”. Now I have some better advice!
I’ve created a preliminary JSON schema for validating Dockerrun.aws.json files.
I’m sure that this has some bugs, and is missing definitions for various properties, but at least it will stop me from making the same mistake again!
You can validate against this schema online here, but I’ve now created a JSEN backed validator for the project that runs before deployment.
If you wish to pull privately hosted images with Beanstalk, then you must include an authentication section in your Dockerrun.aws.json.
Once again, the debugging story is pretty sub-par for diagnosing why your images aren’t working when the issue is related to the authentication section. During diagnosis, the first thing to note is that public images are being fetched and run, but your private images aren’t.
A good way to check this is to ssh onto your instance using eb ssh, then show what images have run by using sudo docker ps -a. If you are suffering from authentication problems, then your private images will be conspicuously missing from the listing.
Then just step through all of the reasons why your credentials could be borked, and eliminate them one by one. That’s about all you can do. The logs were next to useless.
The block can be derived from your ~/.docker/config.json, however, you need the old-style format for the credentials, which if you’re using a recent version of docker, then you will not have. This is noted in the documentation… But, unfortunately for me, I missed it.
I’m serious blown away by the immaturity of the debugging story for Beanstalk. I wasted an ungodly amount of time fixing what were trivial mistakes, simply because of vague, misleading and sometimes withheld error messages from the Beanstalk deployment and runtime logs.
If Amazon wants to call Beanstalk “Heroku for AWS”, then they must be targeting Heroku’s worst qualities.
Overall, I can’t say I wasn’t warned, but I decided to give it a go and power-through anyway. I got there in the end, and now I’d like to help ensure that other people don’t have to go through the same pain that I did.
Now that the Ops steps are somewhat taken care of, I’m back to working on the application itself. I’ll follow up with a third “Weaponizing Haskell” post with more details and a set of templates, tools, and a roadmap once it is at a public-beta stage.
JSON schema for validating Dockerrun.aws.json files.

I’ve really like the idea of Categories. They boil down one of the most essential aspects of programming - “composition” - into a concrete interface, and with their laws, give rise to logically intuitive behaviour. Categories start out extremely simply, with only two laws, and two operations, but the subject quickly becomes highly theoretical through many ideas about sub-categories, transformations between categories, isomorphic behaviors, etc. Still, just using the basics is very satisfying!

Prosper Women Entrepreneurs (PWE) Startup Accelerator is always working to support woman-led businesses through investment, mentorship and networking. Startups that go through the program receive $50,000 equity, a curriculum specifically designed to advance their unique business and guidance and exposure to a network of experts and leaders in the fields of technology, healthcare technology, and consumer products. PWE is currently accepting applications for their Fall 2016 cohort until June 3.
Carol Matthews, an expert in technology, engineering and startup business, currently serves as a Managing Partner and Mentor for the PWE Startup Accelerator. She co-founded CDM Fantasy Sports (CDM) and served as President until its successful sale in 2006. She has also co-founded three additional companies that went on to be sold to publicly traded companies: Primary Network, Primary Webworks and IntralSP. Carol is an owner of River City Internet Group, and she is the SVP of Operations at LockerDome. We spoke with Matthews to get a better sense of how the PWE Startup Accelerator works and to learn what businesses can look forward to if they are selected to participate.
Prosper Women Entrepreneurs is geared towards assisting female-led companies grow and succeed in the startup space; as a woman who has headed up her own companies, what are some of the biggest challenges you encountered, what challenges do you see female entrepreneurs tackling right now?
I haven’t experienced many challenges by the fact that I am a woman, I never viewed it that way. Now, granted when I did Fantasy Sports the environment was very different, and we bootstrapped our ventures and didn’t try to raise money like many of the women entrepreneurs are today. I think that’s one of the big challenges that current women entrepreneurs do face, presenting their business ideas to a VC culture that’s dominated by men. There’s unexpected bias in that arena. By having their companies and ideas go in front of the PWEteam, we see different perspectives.
As other women present their business plans, I can’t help but bring a different perspective to the table.
One thing that is really important about our team on the accelerator side is that we do have two managing partners that are men. And this all goes back to, it’s not all about having a business that is run by women, and dominated by women. It’s the fact that you want diversity in your C-suite. That is what truly leads to greater success. In my own Fantasy Sports company, we had four co-founders and three were men. We all had various areas of expertise. We attribute a lot of our success to having those different strengths in our C-suite.
What was it about PWE that made you want to get involved as a managing partner and mentor?
I met Jennifer Ehlen shortly after she launched the Prosper Women Entrepreneurs initiative on the non-profit side in January 2014. I was very intrigued by her plan and by all of the research that she had pulled together. She talked with women in leadership positions to gather their input and perspectives. It was very obvious that there had been a lot of thought. However, the timing just wasn’t right for me to become involved.
Later that summer, PWE started thinking about how they could help get more financial capital into women-led companies. That is when the idea for the accelerator was generated. They needed managing partners to drive the initiative. Jennifer, Mary Jo Gorman and Maxine Clark were serving as the core team developing the Startup Accelerator side. The three of them invited me to be the next managing partner on the team. It was very flattering and the opportunity to work with those successful and knowledgeable women piqued my interest.
From your point of view, what makes the PWE programming unique?
I think the uniqueness is the dominance by women professionals—it’s very important that it’s diverse. And in fact, in the very first cohort an entrepreneur mentioned that it wasn’t just that they wanted advice from women, they want the best advice possible. We bring a unique balance of the female perspective as well as tapping into all of the expertise that is available in the St. Louis community and startup community right now. We’re bringing the best to the table.
Another thing I like about our program is that we host at least five extra curricular programs as a group. We’ve done various things, like a chef experience at Scape, private dinners, wine tastings, just fun activities where we’ve gathered mentors, investors and the Startup Accelerator entrepreneurs to offer an informal opportunity that allows time for everyone to get to know one another.
Walk me through your role as a mentor as a new accelerator class comes in.
Anywhere between four and five managing partners will participate as mentors for the cohorts. We also have lead mentors that we’ve brought in. Most of them are limited partners who invested in the fund itself, so they care very much about the success of these companies and are willing to spend the extra time with them. We have a couple of lead mentors who are not investors, but they really care about helping the startups and supporting women.
We all have different backgrounds. As we look at the companies in our cohorts, we figure out the best matches based on those companies. We don’t have anyone pigeon-holed, who will automatically get specific types of companies. However, for example, Mary Jo Gorman has a lot of experience in the healthcare industry, so if there’s a company coming in and that’s the best fit, she’ll gravitate towards them because that’s where her interest lies and that’s where she can make the biggest impact with her knowledge and with her connections. It’s kind of like a puzzle. For the lead mentors it’s also based on which companies they’re passionate about. We’ll try and make that work, because if you have an interest in it, like anything in life, you’re going to do it better.
Talk a little bit about the mentor/mentee relationships you’ve experienced.
At the beginning of the program, we ask each company what their goals are for the accelerator—what they hope to accomplish in the next three months. As mentors, we use that as the template. If they say their goal is to raise money, then we need a good understanding of what they’ve raised, what their terms are and who we should try and approach for funding while they are in the program. Others will say, “I really need help with my sales and marketing; can you help me take the next step?” Taking direction from them as to what they need and want to accomplish is the first step to creating their unique plan.
And then as we meet, sometimes issues will come up that the company didn’t set out to address, but those issues are holding them back. If every time I ask about your financial plans and you aren’t presenting them to me in a way that I understand, I’ll show you how to refine that message. We need the entrepreneurs to evolve, even though that wasn’t one of their initial goals. So we’ll take time to work on that. It’s very fluid.
Has anything ever surprised you in your work with these companies?
This is the first time I’ve been involved in having a formal mentor role. So certainly, the very first company I mentored I didn’t have a whole lot of confidence in saying exactly what I thought and giving information and advice from my background. I knew it was my role and I thought what I was saying was valuable. Really, any nuggets you drop along the way really do have an impact, whether or not you can see it on the entrepreneur’s face when you share the information or whether it’s later on you find out what the impact was.
I also like seeing the companies helping each other out. If they’ve made it to the PWE accelerator, they’re past the idea stage and they have traction, customers and maybe even revenue, so they’ve already gone through a lot of experiences. Especially the year we had three healthcare companies in one cohort. Those founders had so many ways they could help and network with one another because they weren’t direct competitors, but they knew things in the space. That’s another level of the program. It’s not mentorship, but it’s networking and advice from your peers that I know they’ve all found very beneficial.
As we’re looking ahead to the next class, what should a company be prepared for if accepted?
How hands-on the lead mentors are. We really do care and continually make ourselves as available as possible during the three months. The feedback we’ve received from past participants is that they’ve been surprised at how helpful and involved the lead mentors are and the fact that they will go on meetings or participate on calls with them and do all of these introductions.
And it’s not only the lead mentor that’s assigned to work with them, it’s the other lead mentors. If I see a way I can help another company in the cohort, I will go out of my way to make an introduction or take another meeting with them.
And, the help doesn’t stop when the program ends. We care about each participant’s success and overall success of the company.

Different people have different views on what a family is, what it should consist of, and what family relationships are acceptable. Your view of the subject is worth general attention as well and you have a unique opportunity to share it in your essay. Make use of the following tips to create a strong paper about family and relationships.
If you are not given any clear recommendations, decide on your topic yourself. For example, you may choose to convince the reader that a specific family model is the best one. Or, you may simply describe relationships in your own family and analyze why your relatives are important to you. The goal you choose to pursue will determine your essay type.
Your approach to accomplishing the task will depend on the type of writing you are going to produce. If it is an argumentative or persuasive paper, do deep research on the topic and try to find striking facts, relevant numbers, and thought-provoking examples to prove your position. This is where you are allowed to appeal to the emotions of others and be somewhat opinionated. However, if you are writing an informative piece, your ideas about family and relationships should be objective and unbiased and you should look at the issue from different sides.
Whatever type of writing you work on, remember about the structure. All essays have a clear structure that should be implicitly followed. Namely, start with an introduction to hook the reader, lead into the topic, and state your thesis. Proceed to the body paragraphs that are used to present your main points about family and relationships and support them with corresponding evidence. Allow your final paragraph for a conclusion that will effectively summarize your arguments and give some food for thought.
Don’t write without a preliminary outline.
A detailed outline will help you organize your thoughts about family and relationships and provide them in the most effective order.
Don’t be afraid to stand out from a crowd.
You will only benefit from creating an original essay. Search for unique facts or look at the topic in a completely new light. If you write about your own family or describe your true relationships, don’t be afraid to be too personal. A personal slant will make your paper even more original.
Being personal doesn’t mean writing about the things that can hurt your family members. Expose personal facts about your relatives only upon receiving their approval.

People who have supported the Standing Rock Sioux in their struggle against the Dakota Access Pipeline are celebrating a victory, as we hear the news that a federal judge ruled on June 14 that the Army Corps of Engineers must review the permits that allowed the pipeline to go through. President Donald Trump had signed executive orders speeding up the approval process of both the DAPL and the Keystone XL pipelines, but this ruling is yet another example of Trump Administration policies that do not stand up under scrutiny by the courts. Fortunately, there are still judges who rule based on laws to protect people’s rights and the commons, laws that were often put in place through the democratic process fueled by people power.
Trials against water protectors and allies who stood with them are proceeding. Many have been dismissed. Standing Rock Chairman David Archambault II and Council member Dana Yellow Fat were acquitted by a jury. The trials of those of us who travelled to Standing Rock from Nevada County have been postponed until November or December. My trial is now scheduled for December 8. Our lawyers are still working with the Water Protectors Legal Collective, the organization that bailed me out after spending four days in Burleigh County Jail.

An area of the Bear River that would be submerged by the Centennial Dam.
The excessive rainfall that we have experienced recently is something that we can expect with climate change. As average global temperatures rise, weather patterns are thrown off balance. We can’t know whether a particular extreme weather event is caused by such warming, but we do know that it makes such events statistically more likely. In recent years, there have been thousands of record-breaking weather disruptions all over the world. As air warms, more water evaporates, drying out the land and causing drought, as it has here in California. Clouds carry this additional moisture, making storms more likely. This results in the excessive rainfall, super storms, typhoons, hurricanes, and floods that are creating disasters on every continent.
Recent storms have stressed the Oroville Dam to a point where 200,000 people had to be evacuated. I grew up in Oroville while the dam was being built. My family and I lived just a few blocks from the Feather River. As kids we spent most of our summer days there. The dam flooded habitat of plant and animal species. The fish ladder and hatchery were built to counteract its toll on salmon and steelhead. The dam also flooded our upstream swimming sites and areas where local teenagers used to find arrowheads, that is, the ancient homelands of the Maidu people of the region. My Maidu step-brother Lee, whose mother was born on at the Moorehouse Rancheria near Oroville, still lives there. When the dam failed, his grown kids and grandkids evacuated and joined him at his house above the dam.
Nevada County responded to flood evacuees with great generosity. Now that people are returning to their homes and the immediate danger has been alleviated, we can hope that the damage will be repaired and people will be safe.
Now our community is facing another dam-related challenge: the proposal to build the Centennial Dam near Colfax and create another reservoir on the Bear River. This project is being billed as a response to ongoing climate change. We can expect many more such proposed solutions as the planet continues to warm.
Recently my husband and I spent time with our daughter and several grandchildren at a nearby campground on the banks of the Bear River, in an area that will be submerged if the project goes forward. Concerned people opposing the dam displayed maps and charts showing the areas that would be taken by eminent domain, destroyed, and submerged: 125 existing homes, trees and native plants, downstream waterways, ecosystems and various species that thrive here. Members of the local Indigenous community told the children stories and demonstrated traditional uses of particular stones found on the river bank, then invited everyone into a circle for a ritual of protection for all the beings who inhabit this place, and for our descendants who will come after.
Whether or not to build this dam is a climate justice issue. From one perspective, another reservoir makes sense, since precipitation is less dependable and the snowpack no longer ensures a continuous supply of water. But there would be great social and environmental costs, including the loss of people’s homes, destruction of Native cultural sites, loss of habitat for many plant and animal species, damage downstream to fish and other wildlife, and the forfeiture of people’s ability to enjoy this unique part of the natural world. Furthermore, logging the trees, bulldozing the plants, scraping the soil, building the dam, and flooding the region would release stored carbon into the atmosphere and eliminate the carbon sequestration function that the living trees, plants, and soil provide. There are alternatives that would avoid these social and environmental costs, including recharging groundwater that has been depleted by over-pumping. This dam is an example of a so-called solution that exacerbates the problem of climate change.
This proposal to respond to climate change by building a dam, along with the controversy it is generating, is an example of difficult policy decisions that will face us for the foreseeable future. It is also an example of a regional struggle to prevent ecosystem destruction, block further carbon pollution, and link the rights of Indigenous people with the rights of the earth. For people who live nearby, go to the SYRCL website at yubariver.org/ to find out more and send your comments. This struggle may yet become another example of people around the world doing what we can to preserve the integrity of the places we call home.

As 2014 marked the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War we decided that this year it would be appropriate to visit the Western Front and pay our respects to those whose sacrifices have materially improved our lives today. Phil had been informed that there were three areas in which the fighting was most concentrated; the Somme, Verdun and Ypres. We settled on Ypres.
Unfortunately Gaz couldn’t make it this year which meant we were down to a quartet so for our ninth tour it would be Phil Ducati Diavel, Taj Kawasaki Z1000SX, Kyle Kawasaki Versys 650 and Cat BMW K1300S HP. Our 9 day trip would see us ride 9 different mountain passes and roads, and cover 2,100 miles.

As a teenager, I found a strange picture of myself in a box of stray family memories. The photo was black and white, and I was standing outside in a short dress, no shoes on, wind blowing my blond waves. I looked to be about ten years old and was wearing the expression I saved for those special occasions when someone insisted I wear a dress and then had the nerve to take my picture. I took the photo to my mom and asked when and where it was taken.
Let’s see, she said. I was probably about ten years old, and I was standing in the big field on your grandparents’ farm.
She laughed at the horror on my face. Don’t look so panicked, she told me. It’s inevitable that you would look at least a little like me, your biological mother.

If there was political will, the City of North Vancouver would ask developers to offer 20 per cent units for 10 per cent below-market rentals in perpetuity—but that would require a trade-off, which means offering extra density and reducing community contributions.
This was the succinct message a city-hired consultant gave to council in June. CNV hired Coriolis Consulting Corporation in March this year to do an analysis on whether it would be feasible to implement a new zoning program that would creating more rental stock for a longer period of time.
The push for the analysis came from a motion brought forward by Councillor Rod Clark, who last year called upon the council to back him in reserving 20 per cent of new units, including condos, at 10 per cent below-market rates in perpetuity. The council needed to build the city according to the needs of its residents, Clark argued at that time.
With 50 per cent of the city’s residents as renters and only 0.3 per cent vacancy, the council supported his motion to investigate if it would be feasible to extend the city’s 10-10-10 (10 per cent of rentals, 10 per cent below market rates for 10 years) policy on rentals, also known as mid-market rental.
Blair Erb, the vice-president of Coriolis, said if the city pushed the MMR to 20 per cent, it would start a spiral of events that would eventually make a project unviable. Pushing the MMR to 20 per cent reduces the amount of money a developer can afford to pay for a site, which in turn reduces land values.
If the land values decline, there are fewer sites available for redevelopment, which reduces the pace of new development and hence fewer MMR units are available, which can push rental rates upward, creating a scenario exactly opposed to what was intended.
“There is a certain trade-off here because MMR is linked to how much bonus density is available. If you want 20 per cent of units below-market rentals, we suggest you waive off the community benefit contribution or consider giving bonus density to see that happen,” he said.
For rental projects, there is an opportunity to have more than 10 per cent units. MMR unit potential, he said, was higher at wood-frame rental projects than concrete rental projects due to differences in construction costs.
The city also has some flexibility to extend existing 10 per cent requirement to the life of building in rental projects, but asking for more than 10 per cent units in rentals will be challenging, he Erb said.
Councillor Clark said there was still scope for rental pool to be built up slowly. He cited the example of Vienna, where he said as many as 30 to 40 per cent of rental units were affordable.

I like that it has the ease of SAP so if you are familar with SAP it is more of the same. That is also what I dislike about it- that it is clunky like SAP tends to be.
The program can be confusing for a new user with no real base level understanding of project management. I would like to be guided along when utilzing a project management tool and there is none of that. Its kind of trial by fire! I also hate that it makes me "log out" of single sign on often taking 30 seconds to close the session.
If you need sophisticated project management especially related to tying everything together into one place I would look elsewhere.
We utilize the program for time tracking and some project management tracking. I think the plan is to replace it with something more sophisticated in the near future. It was cheap and relatively easy to use which was the draw.
"SAP PPM for Portfolio Project Managment"
The SAP PPM is the standard for implementing Portfolio and Project Management in our organization. We use PPM for all of our Generation, Transmission and Distribution capital projects. The solution is scaleable for projects ranging from $8B to <$1M. Our solution integrates tightly with Primavera for real time schedule updates and rolling financial forecasts. We also benefit from backbone of SAP for financial and regulatory reporting.
Keeping the SAP PPM system update is very manually intensive. The need for a large project support team to maintain data and systems makes it not feasible for smaller organizations.
Ensure adequate user testing and training before deployment.
Managing capital projects with spend in excess of $2B / annum.
"Day to day project management follow up"
Once you know the software, it's easy to navigate in it.
I can't talk about the benefits, but we are now able to better invoice our client on the real time we're putting in each program.
Can be confusing at times looking through the menus.
"SAP is an easy tool to navigate when managing projects. "
I don't like how if theres multiple items running at once it freezes and slows down.
Streamline and enforce approvals for funding, resources, gate decisions, and ongoing evaluations. Better allocate resources by capturing, prioritizing, and matching demand to available supply.
Highly dependent on server and changing the central rule is too costly and resource limited.
"SAP PPM - can it replace legacy project Management tool ?"
1. The Web based UI.
2. Availability of Portfolio, Project and Initiative at one place.
3. Cost Benefit analysis feature.
4. Floor Plan Manger integration makes it easy for developers to do simple Enhancements.
Through Web Dynpro based UI is good compared to Classical GUI it is not as flexible as new age Web pages or other websites. The only yellow colors for button and background colors somewhat makes it similar to classical GUI.
a) We were able to replace legacy tool and had an easy interface with SAP instead of using the integration between the SAP and legacy.
b) We were able to directly link the projects in SAP to Projects in PPM and were to analyze health of the Project easily using the reports in PPP.
c) Resourcing and CBA for 12 month period in graphical format was good use case.
"Managing projects with SAP PPM is best"
"SAP PPM - How to use it"
Scheduling is a big piece where people still want to use outside.
Project tracking along with timesheets.
Huge benefit in financial tracking of projects.
"Very intuitive and easy to use."
I truly enjoy the software and don’t have any negatives at this time.
Helps to keep our projects organizes and on track.
SAP seems like a holistic software for backend tracking of business expenses as well as many other programs. It is always easy to use.
* We monitor all SAP PPM reviews to prevent fraudulent reviews and keep review quality high. We do not post reviews by company employees or direct competitors. Validated reviews require the user to submit a screenshot of the product containing their user ID, in order to verify a user is an actual user of the product.
Hi there! Are you looking to implement a solution like SAP PPM?

Aligning ourselves with the spirit of Robbie Burns, it is with great enthusiasm that Hugh’s Room Live presents Poor Angus, the celtic powerhouse from Hamilton, Ontario.
Poor Angus is a Hamilton, Ontario based Progressive Celtic group. Mixing the music of past and present in exciting and dynamic presentations of traditional and original Scottish, Irish and East Coast pieces, this thoroughly contemporary Canadian ensemble endeavors to evade definition in their approach. Formed in 2005, this collection of musicians performs their music in a manner which appeals to both traditional purists, and modern audiences equally. Having shared the stage with the likes of Blue Rodeo, Kathleen Edwards, Matt Mayes, The Proclaimers, Bruce Guthro, Jeremy Fisher, and Nathan Rogers, they are equally at home on the big stage and in intimate pub settings.
Featuring the masterful highland and uilleann piping and tin whistles of Ross Griffiths and profound fiddling of virtuoso Andrew Bryan, this talented group has recently been joined by talented singer-songwriter Joel Guenther. The vocals, bodhran, guitar and mandolin playing of Brian LeBlanc and bass player DJ Moons completes the group. Poor Angus is noted specifically for impressive vocal harmony and this Celtic quintet always gets feet stomping and leaves audiences of all ages roaring for more. Having released their first album in 2007, which won the Hamilton Music Award for Folk/Traditional Album of the Year, this self-titled work has received airplay internationally. The second album, “Prime Cuts”, won the 2009 HMA for Folk/Traditional album of the Year as well. Poor Angus’ third album “Gathering” has been critically acclaimed, and the single “Something I Can’t See” resulted in Poor Angus finishing in the final 4 out of 3000 competing acts in the CBC Searchlight national competition for best band. “Gathering” is a reflection of the band’s musical evolution, featuring nods to the traditional in a more mainstream folk-indie style.
The combination of Scots, Irish and East Coast music styles in the Poor Angus performance bends every ear to diverse interpretations of Celtic music and ensures that one and all leave the show with a smile on their face and a song in their heart.
