If you're ever in need of a musician, he has our highest recommendation.

Sincerest gratitude goes out to the Conservatory staff and to our wonderful volunteer bakers for all their hard work in preparation.

On Wednesday evening, August 31, 2016, children and parents came together to harvest vegetables from the children's gardens at the Conservatory. The gardens were planted by children in June and the abundant harvest included onions, potatoes, squash and tomatoes. The children chose a selection of fresh vegetables for their families and the remainder was left at the Conservatory for visitors to take home.
The community and straw bale garden, located to the west of the Conservatory, will continue to be watered and maintained until all the vegetables are harvested. We encourage you to check out these gardens while visiting the Conservatory and if something is ripe, please help yourself!
Thank you to all our volunteers who helped to build, plant, water and care for the gardens over the summer and to the Master Gardeners for their assistance.

A community garden project of this scale could not have happened without the tremendous support and assistance from the Forestry Division and Conservatory staff, so deepest gratitude to them as well.
The children had so much fun and did a marvellous job planting flowers, potatoes, and onions. We hope they will return regularly to check on the progress of the five raised beds they planted. We encourage everyone to take a stroll around the Conservatory grounds this summer, have a picnic, relax on a park bench and feast your eyes on the pollinator garden, the bee hives and our interesting and beautiful community garden.

Mumbai: Axis Bank chief Shikha Sharma has said called for creating a better credit culture for the long-term benefits and opined that one way to achieve that is to debar defaulting promoters from bidding for their assets during insolvency proceedings.
With the Reserve Bank doing away with all the past dispensations to resolve the bad loan problem, and voting for initiation of insolvency proceedings against erring borrowers, there is a need to strengthen the National Company Law Tribunals (NCLTs), she said.
"Certainly a lot more cases are going to go to the NCLT; so it is important that their capacity is expanded so that they can deal with all cases," the managing director and chief executive of the third largest private sector lender told PTI in an interview recently.
Sharma said there is "some conversation" on this aspect already and added the RBI would have kept such a requirement in mind already.
She said the promoters of companies against whom banks have initiated insolvency proceedings should be kept out of the bidding process for the same assets for the long-term benefit of improving credit culture.
A short-term goal for banks would be to look at maximising the value from the assets which are being put up for bidding and that can happen by allowing the promoters to bid for the assets, while from a longer-term perspective getting the right credit culture where every borrower repays is more important, she said.
"I believe in the long-term as opposed to the short- term. You can take some pains in the short-term as long as the right things are happening in the long-term," Sharma said.
She said the NCLT-based resolution mechanism is aimed at "doing the right things for the medium- to long-term".
Axis Bank's strategy is also aligned with the same thought of ensuring gains in the long-term, she added.
The comments come even as reports say that in case of Essar Steel, one of the earliest and the largest accounts mandated by the RBI to be resolved through the NCLT, the promoter Ruia family has teamed up with the Russian lender VTB to wrest back the company through the bidding.
Essar Steel has a debt of over Rs 45,000 crore and a joint venture of Arcelor Mittal and Japanese alloy major Nippon Steel is the lone competitor for the Ruias' bid being done through a firm called Neumetal in which a Ruia family member owns 25 per cent through a Mauritius-based trust.
When asked if promoters are getting a backdoor entry by teaming up with other investors and where does that leave the concerns on credit culture, Sharma said, "I think we are jumping the gun."
Sharma also welcomed the NCLT process as a very strong and responsive mechanism which has shown a willingness to change if there is a need.
"One should recognise NCLTs for the fact that it is seldom that you see that a legislation gets written and implemented as quickly as NCLT...In the next three-four months we'll have a better idea of exactly how the whole NCLT process has worked," she said.
When asked about the loss of credit culture through farm loan waivers across various states, Sharma acknowledged about the difficulties but declined to elaborate.
"Every time there is a talk of farm loan waiver, there is an increase in defaults on agricultural loans because people feel they don't need to pay up. We live in a complex economy," she said.
"There is a big debate out there on growth versus inclusion. I don't know whether anybody has the right answers.
You have had Communism, Socialism, capitalism...I don't think if we have a clear winner yet."

11 FAQs on developing new products.
Apart from a good idea, what do we need for successful product development?
Should we try to develop completely new products, or to improve existing ones?
What are the main risks in new product development?
How can we reduce the risks of new product development?
Are there any easy ways of telling that a product idea is unlikely to succeed?
What are the main stages in new product development?
How do we manage the product development process?
Is it worth creating a prototype?
Who should be involved in new product development?
How can we reduce production costs for a new product?
How does new product development fit into our overall business strategy?
1. Apart from a good idea, what do we need for successful product development?
financial skills for budgeting, costing and pricing.
You may need to involve people from outside your business for some of these skills. For example, it's common for businesses to use external designers; make sure you retain the intellectual property rights.
As well as skills, you need to commit sufficient resources to the project in terms of time and money. A personal commitment to the success of the project is important to drive it forward.
2. Should we try to develop completely new products, or to improve existing ones?
In practice, most new products are improvements on existing products. Although improving an existing product might seem to have less potential than developing a completely new product, it is often enough to give you a competitive edge in a proven market.
Improving existing products is generally easier and less risky than developing completely new ideas. You are likely to have a better understanding of the technologies involved and customer preferences for that kind of product. The development process is usually less complex, requires less investment and can be completed more quickly.
That said, if you manage to successfully develop and protect a ground-breaking innovation - something that really is a first - the rewards can be huge.
3. What are the main risks in new product development?
With any new product, there is a risk that you may not produce what customers want. This risk is typically higher when new product ideas are based on the availability of new technologies or your own inspiration rather than being customer-led. So it's a good idea to aim to solve or improve a customer experience rather than merely rehash existing products.
During the development process, you may need to overcome technical hurdles. There are also likely to be a range of other operational risks: for example, ensuring that you have a secure supply of reliable components.
Finally, there is the financial risk if your new product doesn't generate sufficient demand at a price that is profitable. Bear in mind that sales income will need to cover the cost of product development, and that you may face additional marketing costs to stimulate demand for your new product.
4. How can we reduce the risks of new product development?
Wherever possible, look for evidence that you are working along the right lines. Market research can help ensure that there is sufficient customer demand, that you are meeting customer requirements and that you set the right price. It can also be a good idea to produce a prototype (see 8).
If your innovation is ground-breaking then research might not help, because there might be no near comparison to measure your idea against. Those that were asked to evaluate the first telephone, for example, said that it had no commercial viability!
In some instances, it may not be worth being the first with a completely new idea. Similarly, you might be better off designing a new product to use existing components: even if new components might make an even better product, they also increase the risk.
5. Are there any easy ways of telling that a product idea is unlikely to succeed?
An over-ambitious project may fail, either because it is technically too complex or because it requires a level of resource that you cannot afford or that isn't justified by the likely returns. In cases like this, it's worth considering whether a less ambitious project would be more likely to succeed.
it's easy for competitors to copy your new product.
6. What are the main stages in new product development?
Customers are a good starting point. Look at what they want from a new or improved product. Consider your unique selling propositions (USPs) - the clear reasons why customers should switch to your product.
Prepare a product specification listing what features your product must have, and how they translate into specific requirements. For example, a product might need to be strong but also lightweight. You will also want to specify other constraints: for example, whether the product needs to match other products in your range or to meet specific legal requirements.
The design phase uses this spec to design the product. Effective design is wide-ranging. As well as fulfilling the product spec, it includes considering how component and processing costs can be minimised.
As the design progresses, you may have one or more pre-launch stages when you test the product. For example, you might develop a prototype (see 8) or you might launch a pilot version of the product to a few customers to help iron out problems and build demand. Some products need to be submitted for product testing and certification.
Finally, you have the launch and roll-out of the product.
7. How do we manage the product development process?
Choose a product champion with the enthusiasm and energy to make things happen. Give this individual the authority to run the project (within an agreed budget) without continual interference. Set up a project team that includes people with all the relevant skills (see 9). Involve a complete team from the start so that people can work in parallel and problems can be spotted at an early stage.
Make sure that everyone in the team is agreed on the main objectives, based on the product specification. Use this to delegate specific areas of responsibility and objectives to individuals. Agree an overall budget and budgets for different parts of the project.
Draw up a critical path showing what tasks need to be completed, in what order. Build in a process of regular project reviews so that you can check progress and see how your plans need to be changed.
Work to keep the team motivated. Be prepared for setbacks along the way, and let team members know what you expect of them: otherwise, individuals may be afraid of making mistakes and demoralised when problems arise. Try to maintain a can-do attitude; if possible, avoid including negative or obstructive individuals in the team.
8. Is it worth creating a prototype?
It can be very helpful to have a working prototype. You can use a prototype to check that a new design works mechanically. You can also use a prototype to assess customer reaction to the look and feel of a product.
It may be worth going through more than one prototyping stage. For example, you could use a sketch at an early stage to gauge initial reactions to an outline design before investing in developing it. If you are improving a product, you might produce models that demonstrate the improvements rather than a full prototype.
9. Who should be involved in new product development?
Include people from all areas of the business. For example, including people from marketing, production and finance helps ensure that the project delivers a product that customers want, that you can produce and that is financially viable.
Make sure that your product development team has all the skills needed. This may mean including external consultants with specific skills - for example, if you do not have in-house design skills. Once again, you must take care to ensure that you retain the intellectual property rights.
You may want to consider involving key customers for their ideas and feedback. You could also involve any suppliers who will be providing key components.
10. How can we reduce production costs for a new product?
You should develop your manufacturing plans at the same time as you design the product, so that efficient manufacturing is part of the design.
Aim to minimise the number of components and the complexity of assembly. Where possible, use inexpensive standard parts that you already use in existing components or that are easy to source.
Look for opportunities to subcontract work or to buy in subassemblies, rather than making everything yourself. This can help to simplify the product development process as well as reducing your eventual production costs.
If you use subcontractors to assist developmental work, check that it will be you who retains the intellectual property rights.
11. How does new product development fit into our overall business strategy?
New product development is an essential part of your business strategy. Although new product development carries risks, not developing new products is even riskier: over time, competing products will outperform and you will lose customers.
Plan for new products on a scheduled basis. Look for opportunities to extend the lives of existing products: for example, by repackaging or adding new features. Don't wait for competitors to launch their new products before you start working on yours.

After reaching a sale agreement in March, Heijmans has now completed the sale of its German subsidiary, Heijmans Oevermann, to Porr Deutschland – a subsidiary of the Austrian-based construction group Porr – for €60 million.
Having been approved by the appropriate antitrust authorities, the sale will help to reduce Dutch-based Heijmans’ debt and improve the structure of its financial ratios.
In January 2017, Heijmans also completed the sale of its German foundation specialist Franki to Porr.
So, with its divestment in Oevermann, Heijmans has now disposed of all of its operating activities in Germany.

Our knowledgeable staff at Safety for Life is focused on work health and safety and is eager to make WHS management convenient for you and your employees. The software system we developed to help keep your risk management and compliance tasks easy is called Sherm. Sherm is an acronym for safety, health, employee, risk management and was created by an Australian to be used by Australian companies to help companies meet their legal requirements and meet ISO standards.
Sherm is a cost-effective software solution that supports your risk management program, aids in meeting the performance criteria of ISO standards, and provides point of time reporting statistics in an easy to use format. We not only provide the WHS management software but we also offer customer support and services with no on-going maintenance costs.
Sherm is cloud-based software which means you can have a multi-site deployment of the program. You are no longer tied down to a computer because you can retrieve your information anytime you have access to the web. We have even developed a mobile app to access Sherm on your phone or tablet.
WHS Management is financially important because it helps ensure your employees stay safe and in good health so they can continue to be productive. It also decreases the company’s chances of being involved in expensive litigation when an incident occurs because it proves that you have a plan to manage risk and for continuous improvement. It’s more cost effective to invest in a WHS management system than to buy an insurance policy, which may not cover your legal costs should a significant event occur and you’re up for prosecution!
If you don’t have a plan in place, we can develop a WHS management system for your company by assessing your workplace activities and risks involved. Workplace safety should be integrated in all facets of the business operations and activities. Through the provision of empowering workers you can improve the reporting culture and ongoing training to make workers more risk aware is all considered when we designed Sherm.
If you have an existing WHS Management Sytem, we can perform an audit to evaluate the comprehensiveness of the system, and we can help identify areas for improvement to ensure you have a robust system protecting company directors and your employees. Auditing usually makes managers nervous, but our team will put your mind at ease because we are there to help you enhance the overall effectiveness of your WHS Management System, risk and compliance. We aren’t there to “catch you” doing something wrong. It’s better for us to find and fix the holes in your program than to have the WorkSafe Regulator or legal investigators find your weaknesses.
We make the integration of Sherm into your business smooth with our customer support. We also make it economical because there are no significant upfront licensing fees. There is also no need to purchase server hardware and operating systems and there are no upgrades required to your existing network infrastructure. Your costs are based on a subscription customised for your company’s specific needs, so you aren’t paying for services you don’t use. We continually provide updates, improvements, training, and support dictated by your requirements.
If you want to implement a WHS management system or convert your existing system to our Sherm software contact Safety for Life. We can discuss your risk management needs and demonstrate how Sherm can benefit your company.

Navigating to alien planets similar to our own is a universal theme of science fiction. But how do our space heroes know where to find those planets? And how do they know they won’t suffocate as soon as they beam down to the surface? Discovering these Earth-like planets has taken a step out of the science fiction realm with NASA’s Kepler mission, which seeks to find planets within the Goldilocks zone of other stars: not too close (and hot), not too far (and freezing), but just right for potentially supporting life. While Kepler is only the first step on a long road of future missions that will tell us more about these extrasolar planets, or exoplanets, its own journey to launch took more than twenty years and lots of perseverance.
To understand how precise “high-precision” needed to be for Kepler, think of Earth-size planets transiting stars similar to our sun, but light-years away. Such a transit would cause a dip in the star’s visible light by only 84 parts per million (ppm). In other words, Kepler’s detectors would have to reliably measure changes of 0.01 percent.
“So Dave had square holes drilled,” said Borucki. “With a square hole, when the wire moves off center, it doesn’t change the amount of light. To keep the wire from bending, we flattened it.” The results demonstrated that transits could be detected at the precision needed even in the presence of on-orbit noise.
“Because we’re looking for transits that could happen any time, it wasn’t feasible to rotate the spacecraft to downlink every day. It would have had a huge impact on the science,” Duren explained. So the team had to determine how frequently it could be done, how much science observation time could be lost, and how long it would take to put Kepler back into its correct orientation. “We concluded we could afford to do that about once a month,” said Duren. Since the data would be held on the spacecraft longer, the recorder that stored the data had to be improved, which would increase its cost even as the mission decreased cost by eliminating the high-gain antenna.
Kepler’s field of view is nearly 35,000 times larger than Hubble’s. It’s like a very large wide-angle lens on a camera and requires a large number of detectors to see all the stars in that field of view.
And it’s been working beautifully.

Pope John Paul II was a respected figure worldwide. Even though he was often criticised for his conservative stances in questions like abortion, contraception or gay marriages, he still enjoyed great popularity that can be hardly compared to his predecessors. One factor contributing to his general popularity had been his energetic image as well as the enormous number of trips he made around the globe. John Paul II was also popular in the generally non-religious Czech Republic, even though the reasons for his popularity here may have been slightly different.
"This pope has certainly had special importance for Central Europe, for all of Eastern Europe, for the Slavonic countries as well as for the communist and post-communist society in general. It has been one of the greatest merits of John Paul II that the whole Christian Europe started to think much more about the East of Europe."
But John Paul II did not appeal only to Catholics in Eastern Europe. As former Czech dissident Jan Urban says, due to his resistance to communism he was also important for many non-religious people.
"You know, just the symbolism of the first 'Slavic pope' with a very strong anti-communist stance and, what was important at that time in Czechoslovakia, - anti-Soviet standing - this was encouragement for non-Catholics as well."
His election in 1978 not only encouraged the Polish dissident movement but also Czech dissidents who united around the human rights manifesto Charter 77.
"One has to remember that his election came in that very dark time after Charter 77 had come into existence and the regime reacted with vicious attacks. Also, very strong element of Charter 77 dissident movement was Catholic - or Christian Democratic as they called themselves later. So the news about a Polish pope came as a great surprise but also as tremendous encouragement."
Many of the dissidents believed that John Paul II would have the power to influence totalitarian regimes in Eastern Europe.
"I recall talking to known Catholic activist Vaclav Benda after his release from prison and he laughed at the darkest of the dark times claiming: 'This is the end!' I thought: You are dreaming, what are you talking about? OK, it's a Polish pope, it' wonderful... We heard from our Polish friends how important it was for them when we met them at the border in the mountains. They all had stickers and literature about him, but it still felt like a dream."
But Martin Horalek says, that the election of John Paul II came as a great surprise even within the Catholic Church itself.
John Paul II"It was certainly a huge surprise. I think that most of the people in Italy, in Rome - they didn't expect it. He certainly opened the Church to a very live dialogue about contemporary society. He opened the Church to Eastern Europe, he started a dialogue with the Orthodox Church, and what is also very, very important is that John Paul II opened a very positive dialogue with the Jews and Muslims - what was before his papacy something rather suspicious and unusual in the Vatican."
"He came directly after the Velvet Revolution in 1990 and he organized this trip as a very extraordinary visit - which was something very special - and he opened the whole issue of John Hus and the big questions regarding this period of Czech history. So he practically started the four-year process during which historians, theologians and a lot of specialists studied the question of John Hus and this period."
But even though John Paul II was very popular among Czech Catholics, and his role in hastening the fall of Communism was widely recognized among former dissidents, not all Czechs looked at all his stances with sympathy.
Cardinal Miloslav VlkMan: "I don't agree with his opinions regarding abortion, condoms and so on..."
Man: "Well, I have to say I am an atheist, so I am not very qualified in Christianity. But I know that the pope is a certain symbol and he can achieve many things if he wants. I can imagine that this figure has some sense for believers."
Man: "The problem of the Catholic Church - at least for me - is that it is too closed and that it does not reflect the current society. I mean for example the often discussed question of family planning. So in this I see unnecessary conservatism and little respect for the needs of the current society."
At the moment there is much speculation about who will come after John Paul II. Many Czech Catholics would like to see Czech Cardinal Miloslav Vlk in the post. But even if - as seems highly improbable - the next Pope were to be from Central Europe, it probably would do little to change most Czechs' rather sceptical attitude towards not just the Catholic Church but organised religion in general.
Yet when he was elected in 1978, few outside Poland had heard of Karol Wojtyla, then the archbishop of Krakow.
The cardinals who chose him knew they could count on him to uphold traditional beliefs at a time when many Catholics were questioning the teachings of the Church.
During his papacy, there has been no wavering in the Vatican's position on contentious social issues such as birth control, abortion and divorce.
Neither has the celibacy of the priesthood or the role of women in the church ever come up for discussion.
"The next pope is going to have a very difficult time untying things like birth control, abortion and women priests," says Madeleine Bunting.
"For example, he has been so categorical that women priests are not acceptable that it will take a long time - decades - for that to be changed gradually."
But while John Paul II has been a conservative in terms of doctrine, he has tried to promote social justice, not least in his homeland.
As a young man growing up in Poland, Karol Wojtyla witnessed the rise of Nazi Germany. Then after World War Two, he faced the challenge of being a priest in a Communist state.
The proactive style of John Paul II has underlined the fact that a pope is not just a spiritual leader; he is also a player on the world's diplomatic stage.
He spoke out against the war against Iraq, trying in vain to persuade the United States and Britain to hold back from military action.
A major theme of his papacy has been his attempt to reach out to other faiths, in search of reconciliation after centuries of hostility and suspicion.
He has travelled to Islamic countries, becoming the first pope to set foot in a mosque. As a gesture of religious tolerance, it took on new meaning after the events of 11 September 2001.
Marco Politi, one of Italy's best-known Vatican watchers, believes John Paul II will be remembered not only as a great pope, but also as a leading figure of the 20th Century.
"Twenty-five years ago, the pope was an important personality for Catholics, maybe for Christians," he says.
"Now he is a spiritual leader accepted and recognised by people of different faiths."
They say that during his reign, the Vatican has exercised too much power, and is now less tolerant of dissent.
Some want to see a different kind of papacy, with bishops around the world having a greater say in how the Church is run. That would be a challenge to the authority of the Church's central bureaucracy, the Curia.
John Wilkins, editor of The Tablet, believes that after John Paul II there may be a change in the relationship between the Pope and the Church outside Rome.
"It is a curious paradox of a very centralised papacy that in some ways the Church has never been so open in the direction that it follows now," he says.
"John Paul II has laid the foundations for the future. He is the last pope of the 20th Century, rather than the first one of the 21st Century."
But whoever eventually succeeds him, he will be a tough act to follow.
Father Thomas Reese believes the Pole brought unique skills to the papacy, and whoever succeeds him will not be a carbon copy.
"There is no-one like John Paul II," he says with a smile.
"We would have to clone him, and the Church is against cloning."

Smart landscaping can help you save energy, give your kids a nice place to play, and increase the value of your St. Augustine, Florida, home. You should keep the mature plants that are already in your yard since they’re easier to maintain and better for lowering your utility bills than smaller plants. If you plant hedges or trees, they’ll probably need a few years to grow to their full size.
Just make sure your outdoor HVAC unit has a few feet of free space around it for good airflow. You can save energy by adding shade, using plants as insulation, and directing wind toward your home.
Adding shade makes your home cooler and keeps your HVAC system from working as hard, extending its life and preventing breakdowns. Plant deciduous trees that lose their leaves in winter so the sun can help you heat your home when it’s needed. You can also plant shrubs or vines on a trellis until trees grow. They look great near your outdoor unit, porches, and patios.
Trees, shrubs, and trellises with vines can also add privacy. An awning over your unit will add more shade and protect it from grass clippings, leaves, twigs, and other debris that could cause breakdowns.
Plant shrubs and vines close to your home for insulation in winter. Many types of vines can climb straight up brick walls or walls with vinyl siding. However, vines could encourage rotting in wood siding.
Instead of surrounding your home and blocking the view completely with fencing or trees, leave paths or gaps so wind can reach your home in summer. You can also close wide fence doors in winter and then open them again in summer.
Ocean State Air Conditioning & Heating is a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer with more than 40 years of experience. We can help you install, maintain, and repair a variety of HVAC equipment. Call us anytime at 904-222-8411 for more help with landscaping from our skilled professionals.

Recommended restaurant in Ueno this time is Ramen: Tokyo Tanmen Tonari.
The estimated travel time on foot is 2 minutes from Ueno Station – JR Yamanote line and other railway lines (direct connection).
Long lines always happen here in this undeniably famous ramen house! To avoid the hassle of lining up, it’s best if you can arrive earlier than the opening time of the shop.
There are about 14 counter seats available to accommodate the customers. Yes, it is a limited space yet comfortable to dine in. There were no wall decors and it really looks so plain and simple from the inside.
The broth is a combination of pork and chicken stock bring out the best and most unique taste and fragrance into the soup. The thicker soup and the perfect-slurpy noodles are so satisfying and add up to the ramen’s signature taste.

The crazy enterprise that is Dol Ammad has assembled once again and six years after “Hyperspeed”, we present you with “Astroatlas”. The second and closing chapter of the “Cosmic Gods” space-metal saga.
Lots have happened through those years with biggest highlights being the release of the mesmerising Dol Theeta EP “Keep Deep” and the total madness that was the Dol Kruug album “Eat Me”.
Just like every Dol Ammad album which requires massive amounts of work both for the pre and the post-production, “Astroatlas” is also the result of countless workdays. I have been working on this album on and off between 2015 and 2018.
The last years I have been experiencing a constant state of unaccomplishment and complete loss of direction and purpose. Maybe it is my dire financial situation partnering together with my ever growing nihilism that have also led to a gradual isolation from people, friends and family.
In spite of the above I feel very proud of what we have achieved with this album again.
Music still seems to remain my only functioning compass in life.
“Astroatlas” feels a bit more diverse than “Hyperspeed”. Somehow more “exploratory” compared to the “pure power” that the first episode focused on. Episode II features themes of epic space fights for the hidden artifact known as the “Astroatlas”, an artifact containing knowledge of cosmic magnitude. There are songs about a mysterious temple predicting these future wars, planet crushing meteor showers, the existential awakening of machines, biobombs, cryo-travel and more.
I feel that “Hyperspeed” and “Astroatlas” complement each other perfectly. Like two brothers, the two episodes were meant to be together. They were composed and some parts were even recorded during the same period of time.
However, this is my first full album that will have a digital-only release. Ever since our Dol Ammad demo back in 2002 I have embraced physical formats for our music releases. We have offered high quality CDs and packaging for all our albums and reached our climax with the deluxe vinyl release of “Hyperspeed”.
Since I was very young I have grown with touching, reading and smelling my music discoveries. Having physical copies of my own music used to be a utopian dream and when I first got those “Star Tales” digipack CDs into my hands back in 2004 I was ecstatic with indescribable joy and pride!
Unfortunately physical formats are not a viable option for my releases anymore.
Every release up until “Hyperspeed” was in a sense capable of funding the following one, something that was made possible by the extraordinary support of a small but very passionate group of friends of my space music adventures.
Current financial struggles, paired with the undeniable global shift towards the digital streaming of music, render any plans for physical releases an unobtainable luxury at the moment.
At the same time, however, a number of benefits arise from this situation.
Most importantly digital releases allow me to produce and publish music faster than ever before. A digital-only schedule would mean a much faster recording – production – release cycle. And trust me, I have tons of ideas stored in my music locker begging to come out and play.
Thus I should stop whining and embrace the fact that this situation benefits all. More music, faster releases, cheaper final products for me and the audience.
The show must go on! I would like to thank you all for your loving support through the years. I hope you enjoy “Astroatlas”.

James Construction completed first floor renovations to the Medical Center in four phases to minimize disruptions to hospital personnel and visitors. The main corridor remained open during Phases I and II which included all work for the Oncology, Prosthetics, Physical Therapy and Eye Clinics. Phases III and IV involved renovations to the Media Center and the Medical Center Main Corridor, including relocation of the main entrance.
The project included demolition and removal of approximately 2,600 sq. ft. of structural concrete floor and beams from an existing raised auditorium, plus demolition of existing hospital space.
James Construction has extensive experience working in VA hospital environments. This helped bring the project to successful completion within 4% of contract price despite a four month delay due to VA turnover.

For one week in early 2015, China was riveted by a former news anchor's self-financed online documentary about air pollution.
Speaking gently in the film, Chai Jing described her newborn daughter's surgery to remove a tumor, and her own sudden terror about China's polluted air. She began wearing a mask. At home, she taped the cracks in doors and windows. She kept her daughter indoors half the time, "like a prisoner."
Smog is something everyone in China is accustomed to, but Ms. Chai's "Under the Dome" reminded people how personal the problem is, and how visceral. Her documentary was a folksy mix of interviews, animation, research and her own stories. State media covered the viral phenomenon; the environment minister praised it.
But a week after the documentary went online, it disappeared from China's internet. Perhaps overwhelmed by the response, propaganda authorities had ordered portals to delete it.
But by then more than 200 million people had already watched.

Attendees of the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2018 can check out Sony’s answer to Samsung’s Galaxy A8 (2018) mid-range offering via the Japanese company’s booth at the Las Vegas trade show this week. Called Xperia XA2, Sony’s new mid-tier handset is banking on camera technology to compete with its rival.
According to Sony’s press release, its super mid-ranger features a 23-megapixel primary camera on the back and an 8-megapixel front-facing selfie shooter. The back camera is capable of capturing 4K videos, while its front camera is capable of taking 120-degree super wide-angle shots.
The rear camera of the Xperia XA2 may be impressive, but the overall camera technology of the Galaxy A8 (2018) offers more bang for the buck. The 16-megapixel primary camera is not so striking compared to the XA2’s 23-megapixel shooter. However, the Samsung handset’s front camera module is a different story.
Samsung apparently equipped the Galaxy A8 (2018) with a dual selfie camera setup up front. The module is composed of a 16-megapixel lens for taking selfies and another 8-megapixel lens for capturing depth-of-field data. As a result, the Galaxy A8 (2018) is capable of taking photos with bokeh effect similar to a DSLR.
When it comes to display and form factor, Samsung’s mid-ranger offers a more updated look by sporting the same design language that the South Korean company introduced with last year’s Galaxy S8 flagship phone. On the other hand, Sony’s Xperia XA2 still borrows the same form factor and style found in the company’s previous releases. The handset still has a chocolate bar design and it still comes with thick top and bottom bezels.
The Galaxy A8 (2018) houses a 5.6-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen with 1080×2220 resolution, an 18:5:9 aspect ratio and a pixel density of 441 ppi. Meanwhile, the Xperia XA2 has a 5.2-inch IPS LCD display with 1080×1920 resolution, a 16:9 aspect ratio and 424 ppi pixel density.
In terms of performance, users shouldn’t really expect much from these mid-tier offerings. Sony’s handset is powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 630 processor, while Samsung’s smartphone is rocking the Exynos 7885 Octa-core chip. It’s worth noting that the Galaxy A8 (2018) has 4GB RAM compared to the Xperia XA2, which only comes with 3GB RAM.
Both handsets have rear-mounted fingerprint readers, but it’s still not clear which implementation is better. Samsung’s mid-ranger is said to house a 3,000mAh battery, while Sony’s device is fuelled by a 3,300mAh battery. Finally, the Xperia XA2 is running Android 8.0 Oreo out of the box, while the Galaxy A8 (2018) will ship with Android 7.1.1 Nougat. Both devices are scheduled for release this January in select markets.

Shortcut to Success | Writing Blueprints.
Amazing! Thank you so much for the time, energy and knowledge you each put in for all of us.
Thank you all for the outstanding Shortcut to Success. You have encouraged me to keep writing, and to be sure to set aside time to write. You have truly been my inspiration.
With Shortcut to Success, I have a map!!!!
You can attend the school of hard knocks and have years of frustration - or you can let acclaimed author and coach Teresa Funke teach you the 10 things all successful authors do -- and how you can start doing them today!
In this full workshop recording (including PDF workbook and a packed Q & A session), Teresa gives you a clear, simple roadmap and monthly action steps that will immediately elevate your writing career to professional status, and keep it there.
As an award-winning author and in-demand writer's coach, Teresa has studied what top authors do day in, day out to build their careers, maintain a positive mindset and be highly productive.
How they create their writing environments, how they find the time to write, how they keep track of submissions, how they deal with rejection... that sort of stuff.
We recently asked her "Is there a way to actually teach these things to our people? Is there a way to create a shortcut that will take someone from frustrated 'wannabe' to pro simply by identifying these principles and showing writers how to put them into practice?"
That's when Teresa told us about "the 10 things all successful writers do".
Teresa suggested creating a workshop that would do exactly what we hoped for: Teach anyone - no matter how discouraged, frustrated or overwhelmed they may be -- to incorporate these 10 things and instantly transform their writing journey.
* The 10 simple things all successful writers do - and you can instantly model them!
This is something we're really proud of, because it fits so wonderfully with our new mission - to empower writers by giving simple, clear direction that can have an instant and transformational impact.
Let me be clear: If you're getting frustrated and overwhelmed, it's not your fault. You simply don't know the "right" way of being a writer. Because no one ever taught you.
Your purchase includes lifetime access to the replay plus a PDF workbook that will allow you to make the "10 Things All Successful Writers Do" a part of your daily life.
If you're ready to take your writing career to the next level, this workshop can saves you years of frustration.

The Breastfeeding Manifesto is a seven-point plan to raise awareness of the health benefits of breastfeeding. It was created by UNICEF and a coalition of 39 fellow health and medical professional organisations. We were given the job of launching the Manifesto (working with our partners at Linstock Communications).
In the weeks preceding the launch, we managed to place interesting breastfeeding stories and real-life case studies in the press, including a major news story in The Sunday Times on the weekend before the launch. This all built up to a high-profile press conference for broadcast and print media with celebrity supporters Jemima Khan and Theo Walcott during National Breastfeeding Week.
The launch of the Manifesto received extensive media coverage in over 160 newspapers and publications across the country. This included a major feature in the Guardian and interviews with BBC Breakfast News and This Morning.
We also undertook a local campaign, using a template release and local spokespeople, which resulted in fantastic results and articles in outlets such as the Sunderland News and Manchester Evening News.

(Hypebot) – Over the past 10 years, we at Sonos have had the privilege of a front-row seat as streaming music has evolved; we’ve watched inspiring innovative ideas and technologies emerge and take shape. Some of these flourished, while others faded away.
Guest post By John MacFarlane, Co-Foundeer and CEO of Sonos. It first appeared on Recode.
Globally, 92 percent of all music listening on Sonos is streaming radio or paid on-demand — our customers are bypassing their existing music collections and enjoying the near-infinite choice streaming has to offer. Another interesting fact: The most listened-to music source in the U.S. is Pandora — this service accounts for almost 50 percent of all listening. In Sweden, more than 90 percent of our customers use a Spotify Premium subscription on their system. Now artists and labels are leaning in big time, seeking new ways to be heard and to connect more directly with their fans.
A plethora of streaming services — from pioneers such as Spotify, YouTube and Pandora to more recent entrants like Tidal and soon Apple — are introducing hundreds of millions of listeners to streaming music, and making sweeping changes to the listening experience via curated playlists, smart algorithms and other completely new, hyper connected approaches.
This is in stark contrast with the way people actually want to listen to music. Edison Research’s “Share of Ear” study shows that more than half of all music listening in the U.S. is happening at home (53 percent), followed by the car (30 percent) and the workplace (13 percent). Our own global research confirms that same behavior. Only those music services that provide a true home solution will be successful in the long term.
With smart speakers and smartphones in the middle, artists can enjoy a creative conduit to mining the power of streaming, using context as a creative opportunity and dynamically responding to real-time fan feedback. The full potential of streaming to inform the creative process remains untapped and infinitely promising.
The future belongs to those who can create the most seamless connection between the listener, the artist and their work. When the dust clears, it will be the artists who will define what the future of streaming is going to look — and more importantly sound — like, making music lovers the real winners.
John MacFarlane is the co-founder and CEO of Sonos, the premiere manufacturer of wireless music systems. In 1992, he co-founded and served as the CEO of Software.com. Reach him @JohnLMacFarlane.

One of the first event for the LIFT Festival 2014, symphony of a missing room takes you on a journey around Burlington house of which the Royal Academy of Arts is housed. A guide first takes us into the exhibition rooms of the yet unopened Summer Exhibition and the audience is treated to a sneak preview of the show before it opens. The main part of the show involves a sound tracked audio headphones coupled with an opaque goggles and instruction for actions.
The soundtrack is filled with ambient noises, heels tapping on the wooden floor and other noises to create an alternative environment. There is a rather odd sounding high-pitched voice guiding the action though it eventually makes sense since it is meant to be a some form of guiding fairy or pixie.The loss of sight is disconcerting at first but a gentle guiding hand is comforting once a sense of trust is established. The journey takes the audience through light and darkness, lifts, stairs and even to the rain outside. But the lack of purpose in the exploration and the absence of a narrative and plot makes it a rather mundane blindfolded walking experience. There are some attempt to ask some profound questions but they are vague and rarely followed up. Also, the potential of audio headphones and technology has already been illustrated in Ring by Fuel Theatre. Here the coarse sound quality and lack of imagination in the sound scape is disappointing.
It is a shame that a great space like the Royal Academy of Arts is used and one of the first thing we do is to put a blind fold on. The same sentiment can also applies to the untapped potential for the audio headphones and the distinct lack of atmosphere of the piece.

When a person is injured in an accident caused by someone else’s negligence, the injured person has an obligation to take reasonable steps to minimize the effects of their injuries. This is known as the “plaintiff’s duty to mitigate damages.” This rule denies a personal injury plaintiff the right to recover any part of his or her damages which the court or a jury finds could reasonably have been avoided. A personal injury plaintiff’s obligation is to act in a way that an ordinary, reasonable person would have in a similar situation. Further, an injured person must act in good faith and with due diligence in the exercise of ordinary care and reasonable judgment when selecting a doctor or treatment for his or her injuries and in seeking alternative employment. A defendant in a personal injury suit will often attempt to reduce the number of damages that the plaintiff can recover by showing that the plaintiff failed to take reasonable steps to reduce his or her loss following the injury.
Below are four of the most common ways that personal injury plaintiffs can inadvertently sabotage their damages awards.
Often, a personal injury plaintiff’s doctor will recommend surgery as a method of treating the injury. In that case, the plaintiff may choose not to have the surgery, since no one can force a patient to consent to a surgery they are not willing to undergo. However, if the patient chooses not to undergo the surgery against their doctor’s advice, they may not be able to recover damages for the consequences of an injury that could have been avoided or significantly lessened by the surgery, especially if the court finds that a reasonable person would have consented to the surgery under the same circumstances.
A plaintiff’s failure to see a doctor in a timely manner for injuries that a reasonable person would consider required medical attention can also reduce the plaintiff’s recovery. A delay in seeking medical treatment may be reasonable if the injury did not seem serious. However, if the nature of the injury is fairly obvious, an injured person must act in a reasonably prompt manner, or damages will not be allowed where there is proof that the delay contributed to the injury.
Many personal injury plaintiffs believe that alternative treatments, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, and holistic and homeopathic treatments are just as valuable as traditional medical treatments. While some of these methods may indeed prove beneficial for certain ailments, the courts may disagree. Depending on the nature and severity of an injury, using one of these alternative means, instead of seeking prompt medical treatment, may be unreasonable and may lead to the reduction in the amount of damages an injured person can recover.
If the plaintiff’s injury has affected his ability to work in his usual line of employment, but he can still work in some other kind of job, he cannot sit idly by and do nothing while he watches his losses grow. An injured person’s damages will be reduced if he or she can do work of some kind, and where such work is available, but the injured person makes no effort to obtain such work.
If you have been injured as a result of someone else’s negligence, you may be able to recover through a personal injury action. Contact the Atlanta personal injury attorneys at Slappey & Sadd for a free consultation to discuss your case by calling 404.255.6677. We serve the entire state of Georgia, including the following locations: Gwinnett County, Muscogee County, and Newton County.
