More About Utopia…
Utopia is a unique event, presenting a wide range of thought, creativity and industry at the intersections of science, imagination and future visions. Utopia is first and foremost an international festival of fantastic genre films, presenting a panorama of innovative, bizarre and out-of-this-world cinema, with a focus on sci-fi, fantasy and horror. Alongside this, a mosaic of activities take place – conferences, talks, workshops, performances and exhibits that deal with ground-breaking and thought-provoking science, technology and radical ideas that emanate from and are inspired by science fiction.
Artists and film-makers, designers and tech entrepreneurs, thinkers and policy experts, all convene at Utopia to present and exchange their ideas on the future of cinema and the story-telling art and craft, and utilize science fiction as a discussion platform on science and society, technology and ethics, as a research lab for radical ideas and as a catalyst for social change.

Gurbaksh Khalsa's preventive custody saves Punjab from piquant situation
The preventive custody of Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa by Haryana Police, which shifted him to hospital on Saturday, has saved the Punjab government from a piquant situation. The current situation suits all stakeholders – the Punjab, Haryana and central governments and Khalsa.punjab Updated: Jan 11, 2015, 18:13 IST
The preventive custody of Gurbaksh Singh Khalsa by Haryana Police, which shifted him to hospital on Saturday, has saved the Punjab government from a piquant situation.
The current situation suits all stakeholders – the Punjab, Haryana and central governments and Khalsa.
The situation had reached a dead end as the Supreme Court had restrained the Centre and state governments from premature release of life convicts.
Khalsa had also reached a point where he could not end his hunger strike without getting any concrete assurance.
Last year, after his hunger strike, there was some solace for Khalsa as the Punjab government had approved parole for three Sikhs convicted of the assassination of former Punjab chief minister Beant Singh; besides, the Akal Takht jathedar had assured him the release of other Sikhs.
However, this time, neither the Akal Takht jathedar nor the Punjab and Haryana governments had anything to offer him.
Thus, he was left either to die during hunger strike or to call it off, which the government tactfully managed by shifting him from the gurdwara to the hospital.
This time, though Gurbaksh got support for the cause, he did not get any concrete promises. During the entire period, the Punjab government was in a fix as the Shiromani Akali Dal not only invited the ire of the radicals, but also faced embarrassment when BJP president Amit Shah openly said that the party opposed the release of Sikh militants, for which the Punjab chief minister had written to his counterparts in other states.
The Punjab government was worried as Gurbaksh planned to visit the Golden Temple.
Fearing that his visit could bring a large number of radicals on one platform, and in case Gurbaksh decided to camp at the Golden Temple, it would be difficult for the SGPC and the state government to persuade him to leave, the entire Punjab was put on a high alert and a heavy police force was deployed at the Shambu barrier to check Khalsa's entry to Punjab.
The Centre also kept an eye on the situation and alerted the Haryana government to keep Khalsa in Ambala and not allow him to leave the gurdwara.
Overall, in the 58-day-long fast (he consumed only water), though Khalsa failed to get any positive outcome, he has managed to bring the Panthic agenda in focus and the political parties will now try to exploit it.

In the wake of the coronavirus outbreak, EZLynx employees were able to immediately work from home by leveraging the same technologies and principles that we have made available to agents through our managed IT and cloud virtualization service, EZLynx Virtual Office.
When it became clear that we needed to empty the EZLynx offices of most employees, very little structural changes were required. The reason for this is that we were already using cloud-based virtual environments for all our day to day operations – from an internet-based phone system (VOIP) to cloud-based desktop computing.
What is a Virtual Environment?
Normally, when you turn on your home or office computer, all your software and files are right there on that computer. If you have a document or a special program on your computer at the office, and you're not in the office, you're out of luck. Many users resort to emailing themselves documents or carrying flash drives around on their keychain. And worse still, if your PC or Laptop is damaged, lost, or stolen, you potentially lose everything, not to mention that you may have compromised the sensitive data of your agency and your customers.
EZLynx has already solved a lot of this with our cloud-based platform. So, while you still need to be on your physical office computer to access your locally stored agency documents, your desktop icons, or your other software, you can at least access your EZLynx account from any computer, from anywhere.
However, what we do at EZLynx for each of our employees is to keep their entire 'office computer' in the cloud, as well as their phone too. This is what we mean by a cloud-based virtual environment. Your physical computer, whether it's in the office, at home, or a laptop that you take with you on the road, doesn't have any software or documents on it. It only has your Operating System (Microsoft Windows) and some special software that lets you securely connect to your cloud desktop. All you need is an internet connection, and you can connect to this virtual cloud PC and use it as though you were right there in the office. Likewise, to make and receive calls from your office number, all you need is a headset.
Welcome to your Virtual Office
EZLynx Virtual Office is a one-stop shop for Insurance Agency IT, providing agencies with full IT support, in a secure virtual environment, for one price per user, ensuring your agency can focus on what really matters.
Our EZLynx Virtual Office solution provides IT Support, with Security and Business Continuity (like work from home or remote office). Whether it is a shelter at home order as a result of a global pandemic, a major weather disaster, or simply a CSR stuck at home with a broken pipe, your agency should be up and running. Be confident you have the technology in place for your staff to work and collaborate remotely, regardless of circumstances.
It takes a team of experts to tackle the challenges facing insurance agencies today:
- Defending against phishing attempts and data breaches, where bad actors attempt to trick you into giving access to your systems or sensitive data.
- Protecting against ransomware attacks, which can cripple your entire operations by holding all your data hostage.
- Business continuation and data recovery, ensuring that even in the midst of a major event your business can continue operating without disruption.
Not to mention the technologies you may not be taking advantage of, including cloud computing and remote access to your agency, its workflows, and all your data.
EZLynx Virtual Office is like hiring a team of IT experts—all for much less than it would typically cost for even one dedicated resource.
- Keep your business secure
- Scale to keep pace with growth
- Never purchase hardware again
Gain peace of mind knowing that your IT needs are being addressed by experts, so you can get back to running your insurance agency. Prepare for anything and get the most innovative solution for your agency with EZLynx ONE PLATFORM®.

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Women's History Month is now in full swing, celebrating the role of women in American history.
Here in New York, the Women of the World festival kicks off Tuesday at the Apollo Theater in Harlem.
"We have several days, starting tomorrow, celebrating the accomplishments, talking about the challenges of women, and also promoting gender equality and empowerment," festival curator Isisara Bey told CBSN New York's Alex Denis.
Some of the participants include poet Nikki Giovanni, educator Johnnetta B. Cole, journalist April Ryan, activist Angela Davis, author Susie Orman and singer Alice Smith.
"One of the things we want to accomplish with this is to show the wide range of our experiences as women," said Bey. "So while there are many things that will intrigue us and cause us to do some really deep thinking, we'll also have fun."
Asked why the Apollo Theater, Bey called it the "cultural capital" of "not just New York, but of the world, of black culture."
"Whenever I walk in that building, the feeling I get from all the people who performed there and lived there during their performances and worked there – it's just a wonderful feeling to be part of that legacy," she said.
The festival runs through Sunday, March 17. Some of the events are free of charge, while others cost up to $30. For more information, click here.

Dupa anuntul celor de la Samsung din aceasta dimineata in care ni se spunea ca producatorul de monitoare va prezenta la SID 2011 primele ecrane LCD pentru tablete capabile sa afiseze rezolutii de pana la 2,560 x 1,600, iata ca acum LG anunta practic acelasi lucru. LG va prezenta la SID 2011 propria colectie de ecrane LCD de rezolutie inalta cu numar de pixeli per inch apropiat daca nu identic, cu cel din Retina Display al iPhone 4. Cei de la LG anunta ca vor prezenta ecrane LCD ce au implementata tehnologia Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching si vorbim despre diagonale de 3.5-, 4.5-, 7-, 9.7, 55- si chiar 84 de inch.
Interesant este ca LG va avea ecrane LCD cu diagonala identica precum cele folosite in iPad/iPad 2 deci exista sansa ca iPad 3 sa aiba intr-adevar Retina Display produs ori de LG ori de Samsung. Competitia dintre cei 2 mari producatori de ecrane LCD este benefica pentru noi, utilizatorii de rand, deoarece vorbim probabil si de preturi destul de avantajoase pentru producatorii de smartphone-uri si tablete. Daca Apple va decide sa implementeze Retina Display in iPad 3 atunci cu siguranta vom asista la vanzari mult mai mari decat cele generate acum.
LG Display Brings Innovation in Smart Mobile Panels to SID 2011
Seoul, Korea (May 12, 2011) – LG Display Co., Ltd. [NYSE:LPL, KRX:034220], a leading innovator of thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) technology, will showcase a full line-up of Advanced High Performance In-Plane Switching (AH-IPS) products at SID(Society for Information Display)'s Display Week 2011 to be held during May 15 to 20 in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. The AH-IPS panels deliver ultra high resolution, notable for their superiority in use for smartbooks (tablet PCs) and smartphones.
LG Display will introduce a full line-up of products that employ IPS technology to deliver ultra high resolution, including 3.5- and 4.5-inch panels for smartphones, 7- and 9.7-inch panels for smartbooks, and 55- and 84- inch panels for TVs at the exhibition. In particular, by highlighting the strengths of AH-IPS, the company plans to solidify its competitive edge in the smart mobile market. The Company is already enjoying dominance in technology, supply capability, and cost competiveness based on its extended experience in mass production.
"Consumers can enjoy crisp and clean pictures in any device like smartphones and smartbooks with LG Display's proprietary AH-IPS technology," said President and CEO of LG Display Mr. Young Soo Kwon. "Our goal is to be the world's No. 1 display maker that consistently delivers groundbreaking technologies like IPS to innovate the display industry."
AH-IPS technology, an advanced form of IPS, has realizes 1.5 to 2 times the resolution of typical LCD panels. This ultra high resolution becomes particularly valuable when the emphasis is on displaying highly detailed images. The technology also improves display's color accuracy, which in turn leads to reproduce the original color precisely without color distortion. In addition, it provides greater light transmission which translates into lower power consumption while delivering exceptional picture quality, making it ideal for use in outdoor settings.
Resolution is generally defined by the total number of pixels whereas image crispness is measured by pixels–per-inch (PPI) which refers to pixel density per unit area. The ultra high resolution technology employed by AH-IPS adds a greater number of pixels than the PPI that can be recognized by the human eye at a typical distance. This makes it more difficult for the naked eye to distinguish each individual pixel, thus making the image sharper.
LG Display's 3.5-inch smartphone panel supports 960×640 pixel resolution at 326 PPI, delivering the most detailed images among smartphones available on the market.

CrossFit is a pretty intense style of training. The daily WOD can bring almost anything including running, jumping, squatting, or deadlifting. But regardless of what it brings, you know that you're going to get a killer workout and you'll be constantly on your feet.
That's why it's incredibly important to make sure that you have reliable footwear that'll last over months of intense sessions, but they'll also provide stability and help you avoid common injuries.
And even though some of the most popular CrossFit sneakers provide plenty of support when you're in the box, there's nothing quite like the feel of a high-top cross-trainer. That's why if you're looking for a very stable training shoe to last over months of intense workouts, you may want to consider one of the 5 best high top CrossFit shoes that we discovered through hours of research.
In a Rush? Here's Our Top Pick!
NOBULL High Top Trainers
- Lightweight cross-trainers
- Very durable for indoor and outdoor use
- Breathable upper layer
- Stable and comfortable

How We Compared High Top Cross Trainers
With all the different high top tennis shoes available, it can be a pretty daunting task to make valid comparisons and pick real winners. Well, here was our judging criteria so you can understand how we came to our decisions.
Ankle Support
It kinda goes without saying that workout shoes need to provide plenty of support and high top shoes are no different. In fact, high tops should probably provide even more! That's why we made sure that every sneaker we included on our list was nice and snug around the ankle with padding that provides enough bracing.
Overall Comfort
Why would you want to wear a shoe that's uncomfortable? A CrossFit shoe could have all the bells and whistles and features and be recommended by Mat Fraser, but if they don't feel good on your feet, what's the point? We made sure that each shoe was known for comfort and stood the test of time through multiple gym sessions.
Long Term Durability
It's not uncommon for consistent CrossFit members to go through multiple pairs of shoes over the course of a year. That's because your sneakers can really take a beating if they're not durable enough. We tried to consider the durability of each shoe we included on our list so you won't be shelling out extra money on multiple pairs.
1. NOBULL High Top Trainer
These shoes were actually included in our full list of the top sneakers for working out because of their high ratings. The NOBULL High-Top Trainers are really cool-looking shoes that are lightweight and very multi-functional.
The durability on these are very good since they were designed for both indoor and outdoor exercise. Yet, the upper is still quite breathable so you won't end up with sweaty feet. Many users claim these are some of the most stable and comfortable cross trainers they own.
Click here to read the latest Amazon reviews
- Lightweight cross-trainers
- Very durable for indoor and outdoor use
- Breathable upper layer
- Stable and comfortable
- May have to lace them up tight for adequate support up top
2. SEVE High Top Lifting Shoes
Even though these shoes are not technically cross-trainers, weightlifting and Olympic lifts are still a major component of CrossFit training and that's why they're on the list. The SEVE High Top Lifting Shoes were specially-designed for squatting, deadlifting, bodybuilding, and any other type of heavy lifting you might do in the gym.
The straps up top keep them very secure to your ankle with plenty of padding and cushion on the inside so that you can wear these even without socks haha. They also have a nice wide toe box for comfort and the grip on the bottom is top notch since heavy lifting requires very stable footing to execute.
Click here to read the latest Amazon reviews
- Really secure around the ankle
- Lots of padding and cushioning
- Grip and tread is very good
- Not suitable for running
- Sizing may be off
3. Reebok Royal Astrostorm Cross-Trainer
Most CrossFit shoes come with a hefty price tag, but these are quite different. The Reebok Royal Astrostorm Cross Trainers are a great budget shoe if you're looking for something with more ankle support.
They have a nice breathable, mesh upper layer that keep your feet cool during intense exercise, but the rubber outsole grips well on the gym mat. These soles are a little more flexible than a typical cross-trainer so they'll benefit you well during plyometrics and short sprints.
Click here to read the latest Amazon reviews.
- Great budget shoe
- Good ankle support
- Flexible sole does well for running
- One buyer reported the round laces coming undone a lot
4. Puma Enzo Cross-Trainer Shoe
We like this shoe because of the midfoot strap that looks your foot in place and prevents slippage on each step. The Puma Enzo Cross-Trainer also has a neat contemporary look. Reminds me of Back to the Future! (My age is showing)
They have adequate cushioning that should really support your feet well during box jumps and sprints. However, there have been some complaints that these are not as durable as they appear.
Click here to read the latest reviews on Amazon.
- Midfoot strap locks your feet in place
- Cool contemporary look
- Cushioned
- Some reviewers claimed these fell apart quickly
5. Reebok Women's Freestyle Hi Lace-Up Sneaker
The Reebok Women's Freestyle Hi Lace-Up Sneaker is considered a classic training shoe and it shows in its look. Similar to the Puma Enzo Cross-Trainer, this model also has an ankle strap to lock your feet in place and increase stability.
Even though the upper isn't a traditional mesh, it is a very soft leather that makes the shoes even more comfortable. The outsole is also high-abrasion so they should be pretty durable from one workout to the next.
Click here to read the latest reviews on Amazon.
- Stability is nice due to ankle strap
- Comfortable
- Durable
- Not for wide feet
- Shoe laces could be longer
Looking for wider shoes? Check this list of CrossFit shoes for wide feet!
The Top Pick of the Best High Top CrossFit Shoes
NOBULL High Top Trainers
Any of these 5 high top crossfit shoes would be a good pick for your next WOD if you're concerned with ankle support (or you just like the look). Just make a selection based on your personal needs and priorities. (Or just pick the coolest-looking ones haha)
But if you want to know our top pick, we suggest the NOBULL High Top Trainers. These shoes are very lightweight, but sturdy so you'll have pretty quick feet during your workout. Plus, the breathable upper layer keeps your feet cool over the entire gym session. Finally, the upper fully covers your ankle for maximum support as long as you give a tight lace-up.

The PBA is stepping up its public fight with the state Parole Board.
Union officials will now hand deliver letters opposing cop killers' parole to the New York Department of Corrections and Community Supervision until it restores the online service to send in the letters.
"DOCCS' Parole Board is clearly not interested in hearing from police supporters or from those who believe that cop-killers should never be paroled," PBA President Patrick J. Lynch said in a statement Sunday. "We will not allow those voices to be silenced or ignored."
Officials at the state Department of Corrections say it has not prevented anyone from voicing their opinion and the union is just looking for special treatment.
"The PBA's most recent attack on the Board of Parole is disingenuous and is effectively a demand for exclusive access to the Board that is not otherwise provided to any other New Yorker," said spokesman Thomas Mailey. "While an e-mail address was made temporarily available for PBA submissions to the Board, that exclusive avenue was discontinued five years ago."
The discontinued program, "Keep Cop-Killers in Jail," was established in 2012 as a way for New Yorkers to object to the paroling of someone convicted of murdering police through the PBA's online tool, which would send a letter to the panel ruling on the person's release.
It was only recently realized by the union that function was shut down after two years, without notice. The PBA says as many as 200,000 letters never made it to the commissioners. In 2018, the union recorded nearly 50,000 letters in protest.
Lynch sent a letter to the DOCCS chairwoman, Tina Stanford, on March 1 demanding the electronic service be restored and has yet to hear back.
"The Board always has – and continues to – accept letters that are electronically submitted through the Department website or submitted by mail," Mailey said.

In the aftermath of the Equifax data breach this past summer, everyone is understandably concerned about identity protection. Many have to take extra steps to secure our identities. You may have put a freeze on your credit report. Or maybe you signed up for a credit monitoring service. But did you know that two-factor authentication and password strategies can also help you secure your accounts and your identity?
What these two strategies do is make access to your accounts more complicated. The downside is that making your accounts more difficult for thieves to access can also make things more inconvenient for you. But given that identity theft is rising dramatically, it's well worth the minor inconvenience.

Two factor authentication is commonly referred to as multifactor authentication. It's based on the idea of requiring two or more verification steps in order to log into an account or a secure site. Some banks and other financial institutions already require two-factor authentication. Sometimes you can choose to add it to your account. If you have the choice, you should always say yes to this option.
One-Time-Use Security Codes
You're probably already familiar with two factor authentication from some of your accounts require it. In this setup, an institution will send you a security code, typically by text or email. To log into your account with that institution, you'll need both your password and this security code. In most cases, the security code will be temporary. It may be valid for only a few minutes for a few hours.
In some cases, you can log into your account with just a password if you're using a recognized device from a recognized IP address. But if you log in from somewhere new, the institution will automatically send you a pass code. This protects your account from potential hackers using unfamiliar devices or IP addresses.
CAPTCHA Forms
Other times an institution will use CAPTCHAs. These are the scrambled codes that you are asked to enter into a box on the same page in order to verify that you're an actual human being. Websites have started using these to prevent "bots" from accessing your account. Hackers can program bots to search for and seize identifying information. Verifying your humanity confirms that you're not a bot.
Credit Card Security Cotes
Online vendors typically use a different form of two factor authentication. When you make a purchase online using your credit or debit card, the vendor will ask for the basic information – your credit card number and the expiration date of the card. But then they will ask you for the three-digit security code that appears on the back side of the card next to the signature box.
This prevents someone from using your credit or debit card with just the number and expiration date. Store clerks, online representatives, and others can easily access this particular information. But the security code is less commonly used in transactions. So it provides an additional layer of security.
Security Questions
In many cases, a financial institution may also establish security questions. This can be obscure information, such as your mother's maiden name, the name of your first best friend, or the name of your first pet. It could even be the name of the street that you grew up on. This is why you should always provide this information when you set up an account or sign up for a credit card. Thieves may have your credit card number and expiration date, but not the answers to the security questions.
Security questions are similar to one-time-use security codes, except that you already know the answers. You may be able to skip the security questions if you're logging in from a trusted device. But if your login is coming from someplace new, the website may ask one of your security questions.
Even More Authentication Options
Some vendors and institutions are also asking for additional information, such as the last four or six digits of your Social Security number, in addition to your username and password. Others are turning to biometrics, such as your voice or your thumbprint. A bank that I deal with routinely requires a thumbprint on cash withdrawals. This is an example of biometrics as a security factor.
Password Strategies for Securing Your Accounts
Two factor authentication is an excellent strategy for securing your accounts. But whether or not that level of protection exists depends on the institution, and is largely out of your hands (unless you have the option to add it).
Closer to the ground, password strategies are perhaps the most proactive way to protect your identity and your accounts.
There's a bit of tension on this front, and it's completely understandable. The most secure passwords are the most complicated. But since we have to access our accounts on a regular basis, there's a strong argument in favor of simplicity.
That conflict is best resolved in favor of security over ease.
That means creating strong passwords. As a general rule, you can think of a strong password as being one that you can't remember yourself. After all, if you have difficulty with it, you'll be making it virtually impossible for a thief to hack.
Creating Strong Passwords
Creating strong passwords is a multistep process. It takes more time, but it's the best way to protect yourself.
Use these tips to create strong passwords:
1. Create passwords that use a mix of letters, numbers, and symbols. Also use both upper and lowercase letters. A thief may be able to guess a word or number that you will use. But it will be much more difficult to hack a password that contains a word and a number, as well as a symbol that makes absolutely no sense.
2. Never used identifiable names or numbers. For example, don't use your name, any part of your address, your spouse's name, your kids' names, your phone number, and absolutely not your Social Security number. If you must use names or numbers, pick ones that are more obscure.
3. Scramble your passwords. That means creating passwords that don't use identifiable words or number sequences.
4. Let websites create passwords for you. If that service is available, take advantage of it. They will create completely unrecognizable passwords that can't remotely be tied to you.
5. Longer passwords are better than short ones. This is especially true if they make no sense.
6. Use a different password for every account that you have. No, that's not convenient at all. But that's the whole point. If you have a different password for each account, a thief can't access all your accounts with a single password.
Naturally, any password that will be impossible for a thief to decipher will be difficult for you as well. That means you won't be able to commit them to memory. Avoid writing passwords down and displaying them were people can see them. A better alternative is to use an online password manager such as LastPass.
It won't be convenient, but that's exactly what we're going for!

Human Cloning Is Ethical
In our society today, Humans all over the world are in search for one thing, which is the evolutionary step in technology. The idea of this new evolutionary technology is human cloning, which is the reproduction of homo-sapiens through the DNA process without contact from male and female. The Process of human cloning has received very different aspects between societies and is also known as the most controversial debates in decade as we know.
First, to determine why human cloning is controversial, there must be an understanding of what human cloning is and what does cloning do. The science technology of cloning has been divided up to three parts which are: (1) recombinant DNA or DNA cloning, (2) reproductive cloning, and (3) therapeutic cloning. DNA cloning or recombinant DNA technology are referred when the cloning process is transferred from a DNA fragment to a self -replicating element, this DNA process has been practiced in biology labs ever since the 70's. Science today, has also practiced the recreation of animals besides humans which is called the reproductive cloning. Reproductive cloning is also referred in a process called "somatic cell nuclear transfer" which is scientists transfer genes from the nucleus of an adult donor to an egg which has been treated with chemicals in order to stimulate cell division, which results into a cloned embryo. The final part of cloning is also the most controversial part of cloning, which is "Therapeutic Cloning". This type of science can be also called "embryo cloning" which is the production of human embryos for the uses to treat diseases such as Alzheimer's, cancer, paraplegics, and other severe disease.
In February 1997 scientist in Scotland announced the birth of the cloned sheep Dolly, the began the future of cloning possibilities. Since then many animals and plants have been successfully cloned and none had...

Indiana, the Hoosier State, was added to the union in 1816, and currently ranks 15th in population (with 6.5 million residents), and 38th in land area. The state was founded primarily by Germans (much like our home state of Ohio), and for many represents "the heartland" of America, and we're quite excited to see if we can find something different.
Unfortunately, due to our close proximity (in Ohio) and frequent visits, we will be spending a minimal amount of time in the state, but here's a few of our proposed visits. Any thoughts? Please let us know.
Indianapolis Motor Speedway: In our search for a cultural experience we MUST attend two of the world's most attended (and watched) sporting events – an Indy Race and a NASCAR race. Well, one down, we've secured our general admission tickets for the 2011 Indy 500, a parking pass and two t-shirts for the day! more info here: www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com
Amish Country: From what we've researched, it appears the self-guided "Heritage Trail Driving Tour" is the most thorough, but efficient way to explore Amish Country. This 90-mile trail gives a turn by turn by turn exploration of centuries-old Amish lifestyle and heritage. more about this tour can be found here. www.amishcountry.com
Wolf Park: For over 25 years, in Battleground, IN, the full moon has been greeted by wilderness howls from one of the most interesting, and important wildlife research centers in the country. Wolf Park was designed as a sanctuary for researchers seeking to better understand the lives of wolves in a protected, yet wholly authentic environment. Vital research findings here consistently lead to conservationist strategies and policy. We'll be there for the Memorial weekend HOWL NIGHTS, even if we have to hunt down tickets at the last minute… get it "hunt down"? We'll probably just show up and buy them. More here: www.wolfpark.com
College Football Hall of Fame: No matter your age or your generation, the names are simply iconic: Bear Bryant, Walter Camp, Barry Sanders. To put this in perspective, think about this statistic from the College Football Hall of Fame. More than 5 million people have played college football, just over 1,000 have been inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. That's .02% of all players. This is definitely a must see for ANY college football fan, and this Buckeyes fanatic will be there! More here: www.collegefootball.org

Pat BreenQuestion:
387 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if disabled children will be included on a carer's travel pass; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24984/04]View answer
Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 19 October 2004
387 Mr. P. Breen asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if disabled children will be included on a carer's travel pass; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [24984/04]View answer
The free travel scheme is available to all people living in the State aged 66 years or over, to all carers in receipt of carer's allowance and to carers of people in receipt of constant attendance or prescribed relative's allowance. It is also available to people under age 66 who are in receipt of certain disability type welfare payments, such as disability allowance, invalidity pension and blind person's pension.
Children who are registered as blind or visually impaired with either the National Council for the Blind of Ireland or the National League of the Blind of Ireland are also entitled to free travel. Further extensions to the free travel scheme would have to be considered in a budgetary context.
388 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs if a person who is in receipt of carer's allowance is debarred from going on a further education course which would involve 27 hours per week; and if their carer's allowance will be affected if they take up this course. [25035/04]View answer
The principal conditions for receipt of carer's allowance are that full-time care and attention is required and being provided and that the means test which applies is satisfied.
Where a person in receipt of carer's allowance takes up an educational course or part-time employment which exceeds ten hours per week, then that person would generally no longer satisfy the qualifying conditions for receipt of the allowance and consequently payment of the allowance would cease.
However, persons who have been in receipt of carer's allowance for over 15 months and take up an approved education course that is certified as being full-time, may have an entitlement to back to education allowance. This is subject to certain qualifying criteria being satisfied.
If the Deputy has a particular case in mind and provides further details, my Department will then be in a position to advise accordingly.
389 Mr. O'Dowd asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the changes in regulations which will allow persons who have class D stamps to qualify for social welfare payments; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25036/04]View answer
Permanent and pensionable public servants employed, including for example teachers and those working in local authorities, who were employed before April 1995 are liable for PRSI class D contributions. Class D contributors have traditionally been insured for a limited range of social insurance benefits: widow's or widower's and orphan's (contributory) pensions; bereavement grant; occupational injuries benefits; and carer's benefit. The level of benefits available broadly reflects the level of social insurance contribution paid and the reduced need for protection or coverage against the main other contingencies such as illness, unemployment and old age.
Public servants and civil servants recruited after 6 April 1995, however, are insurable at PRSI class A. These contributions can provide entitlement to the full range of social welfare benefits and pensions.
The number of public and civil servants paying PRSI class A is steadily increasing and will over time come to represent the norm throughout the public sector. At this stage, there are no plans to make any further changes to the PRSI arrangements for public servants.
390 Mr. Timmins asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the position on the payment of the rent allowance to a recipient of the lone parent's allowance who is now on FÁS and in receipt of €175 per week from FÁS; if their rent allowance will be reduced in view of this; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [25054/04]View answer
Subject to certain conditions the supplementary welfare allowance scheme, which is administered on behalf of my Department by the health boards, provides for the payment of rent supplement to eligible people whose means are insufficient to meet their accommodation costs.
The regulations governing rent supplement stipulate that, in addition to a minimum contribution, currently €13, each recipient is required to contribute towards his or her rent any additional assessable means he or she has over and above the appropriate basic supplementary welfare allowance rate.
In the case of a person who has additional income as a result of participation in an approved training course, such as those run by FÁS, the means test provides for a weekly disregard of up to €50 of such additional income for rent supplement purposes. It is likely that the rent supplement payable to the person, in the position as outlined by the Deputy, will be reduced in view of the increase in his or her income.
391 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Social and Family Affairs the reason a person (details supplied) in County Mayo is not receiving unemployment benefit, and when they can expect to receive payment. [25075/04]View answer
The person concerned made a claim for unemployment benefit from 24 August 2004. The deciding officer disallowed the claim on the grounds that the person is not unemployed.
The person concerned has appealed this decision to the social welfare appeals office. The appeal has been referred to the appeals officer who is of the opinion that an oral hearing is required. She will be advised of the date and venue for the hearing when the necessary arrangements have been made.
Under social welfare legislation decisions on claims must be made by deciding officers and appeals officers. These officers are statutorily appointed and I have no role in regard to making such decisions.

Head of Energy and Natural Resources (VP), FBN Capital Limited
United Nations' MIPAD Top 100 in 2018
African investment specialist
Rolake is an energy expert and finance executive who heads energy and natural resources for FBNQuest Merchant Bank, investment banking arm of Nigeria's largest financial services group, First Bank of Nigeria Plc helping local blue-chip energy corporates raise debt and equity capital. Rolake has a strong desire to make a difference in African energy given the chronic energy problems in her home country of Nigeria and Africa, and is the founder of a platform – InaTidé – that seeks to connect renewable energy SMEs in Africa with investors to fund their businesses and build capacity. She has written and advised extensively on Africa's sustainable energy space, emerging as part of a new generation of thinkers on access to energy in Africa.
Passionate about issues of African and national development, in May 2017, she was appointed as an advisory member of the Board of Economists in the Office of the Vice President, working closely with the Chief Economic Adviser to the President, and the VP's office on a range of national development policy issues. Prior to FBNQuest Merchant Bank, Rolake was for more than 3 years head of the energy and oil and gas research team at pan-African Ecobank Group, based in their London office. She managed Ecobank's research output across the energy industry value chain, covering a wide range of energy products and industry players across 33 African countries. In her earlier career, Rolake was the lead country risk analyst for West Africa and the Gulf of Guinea at the New York-based global risk consultancy, Eurasia Group. She was also a Senior Africa Analyst in the global risk analysis team of London-based Control Risks Group, advising multinationals on business and investment risks in Africa. She has also worked for the International Crisis Group in Senegal, the European Commission in Brussels and the Foreign Policy Centre, London.
Rolake was recognized in the United Nations' MIPAD Top 100 (Most Influential People of African Descent) Under 40, in the Business & Entrepreneurship Class of 2018, and was listed in the 2016 & 2017 Choiseul Institute's (France) top 200 Under-40 Young Economic Leaders in Africa. In January 2016 she was listed in pan-African law firm Centurion LLP's Africa's 10 to watch in Oil and Gas in 2016 and in May 2015 Rolake was also named Africa's Best Oil and Gas Analyst by US organisation Energy & Corporate Africa, from a shortlist of 7 nominees. A well sought-after thought leader on African and global energy, she is a regular commentator in this sphere, and has been a regular reviewer of global newspaper headlines on BBC World News TV since 2012.
Also a competent French speaker, she has lived in Senegal, Belgium and the UK and travelled extensively across Africa. She has a BSc and an MSc degree from the London School of Economics (LSE) and a joint MBA degree from the London School of Economics, HEC School of Management Paris and New York University's Stern School of Business (TRIUM Global Executive MBA). After more than 18 years in the UK, Rolake moved back to Lagos, Nigeria in 2014, where she currently resides.
"Rolake examines the demand, supply, and prices of energy, oil and minerals in Africa, and seeks to make sense of other observable market-moving, short-term and long-term trends affecting investment in the sector. She is articulate, and an excellent communicator and presenter, with inside knowledge of the governance and policy challenges in these industries."

Crude oil has gotten a lot of headlines over the past few weeks, sparking big moves in the oil market. WTI crude oil prices surged over 45% higher this year, before dipping 5% over the last month.
Fortunately, there is a way to directly profit from the dip in oil prices, and we don't mean storing a few dozen barrels of black gold in your garage. And you don't even have to speculate in the futures markets to take advantage of the current trend.
By using the power of options, we can shoot for triple-digit gains while limiting the capital we place at risk. We'll describe how to do that a little later.
But first, we have to explain why the oil market rally is poised to continue.
Oil bottomed in December of last year, right alongside the stock market. Both rallied steadily this year on news that the economy was stronger, among other factors. After months of gains, the oil market was susceptible to some sort of reaction, either a panicky gain or a needed pullback.
The market gave us both!

Last week, crude jumped up to a fresh six-month high on news that the United States would impose sanctions on all buyers of Iranian oil. Then, only four trading days later, the market jumped back down to the tune of 3% after the president tweeted that the Saudis and OPEC should pump more oil to make up for the missing Iranian supplies.
The Saudis quickly denied this request. In fact, Bloomberg reported that the Saudis need oil closer to $85 a barrel – up from its current $63.91 – to balance its budget.
But that's not the only catalyst that will drive oil prices through the rest of the year…
What's Pushing the Price of Oil Higher
Money Morning Global Energy Strategist Dr. Kent Moors believes three main factors are coming together to keep the gains coming, even if only at a modest pace.
First, while weekly production totals will fluctuate and affect prices, it will not translate into a firm price ceiling. The balance struck by operating companies even in an overall rising production environment allows for a rise to continue, even if slowly.
A second factor is that oil prices will continue to be determined by demand someplace other than North America or Western Europe. Essentially, this means demand (and prices) will increasingly be driven by what occurs in Asia, where the energy sector as a whole will progressively take its bearings until at least 2035-2040.
And this does not even take into account geopolitical turmoil, like the unrest in Venezuela, which once was an oil exporting powerhouse. After years of decline, it no longer contributes much to global supplies, but even so, the current potential coup taking place there, coupled with uncertainty over OPEC output cuts, increases risks to global oil supplies.
Dr. Moors' conservative oil price prediction for 2019 is $72 a barrel, a 14% gain over today's prices. That's a nice gain if you invest in oil futures contracts, but we can pour gas on it with this options play.
And it could make you 123% gains.
This chart shows you exactly how…

The Galician Innovation Agency (GAIN) organized in Santiago de Compostela the 6th Interregional Thematic Seminar under MONITORIS3 Project on 4th December 2018.
The programme of the event included an intervention of an innovation policy expert from the University of Santiago de Compostela; a representative of GAIN that set out the process of evaluation of RIS3 in Galicia; a representative of the Center for Industrial Technological Development (CDTI) that explained the monitoring system at the national level; a representative of the Basque Business development Agency (SPRI) which presented the Nasque model as an example of good practice.
The afternoon session was focused on practical work in which participants were distributed in working groups and had the opportunity to debate on concrete policy instruments from three participant regions. Some interesting conclusions on the monitoring systems of those policy instruments were highlighted.
On 5th December, Partners of MONITORIS3 visited the Centre for Research in Molecular Medicine and Chronic Disease (CIMUS) as part of an organized Site Visit. The Innopharma group is part of a consolidated Join Research Unit between a research organization and a company. Joint Units are an important formula in Galicia for bringing together the business world and the scientific/technical one to develop joint research and valorisation areas.
During the afternoon, MONITORIS3 Partners met for the Steering Committee Meeting.

MANILA, Philippines -The Philippine Football Federation announced the launch of the 2014 National Football Club Championship in a press conference at their headquarters in Pasig on Tuesday, August 19.
First introduced in 2011 through the partnership between the PFF and Smart Communications, the nationwide amateur football meet is held yearly where local talents showcase their skills to improve the level of play among the football associations under the federation.
Thirty-eight different clubs from around the country will vie for the national championship plum which will kick-off on Friday, August 22 with the cluster qualifier round in the eight designated regions, namely West Mindanao, North Mindanao, Central Mindanao, East Mindanao, National Capital Region, North Luzon, Central Luzon and South Luzon.
Winners of the cluster round will be included in the group qualifier stage where they will face the five seeded teams from the football associations of Iloilo, Cebu, Negros Occidental, Negros Oriental and Leyte.
Also, the group qualifiers, which will be held in the Visayas region, will house the two-time national champions Ceres-La Salle Football Club.
The clubs that emerge victorious in the group qualifiers in Visayas will be divided into two groups for national group stage that will include top United Football League clubs Kaya, Loyola and reigning champs Global.
The top two clubs from the two groups will play in the crossover semis, the winners of which will play in the final to held at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Manila.
According to PFF tournaments department head Cyril Dofitas, the competition will also serve as a place where the federation can discover fresh talents who can potentially become members of the national squad.
"The development of grassroots football in the Philippines is always a top priority for the PFF, for this is where we discover more talents that can represent the country in the world stage," he asserted.
Amani Aguinaldo, who plays center back for Global FC and a national team standout, is one of the notable products of the previous editions of the PFF-Smart Club National Championship.
PFF General Secretary Atty. Edwin Gastanes believes competitions like this will help boost the budding football scene in the country.
"This is a big help to Philippine football because you get to involve the players, the member associations, the coaches, and the referees. As you know, we are preparing all these teams because in two-three years we will be launching a national league that will be professional in nature," he said. - Rappler.com

October 2019
By A&M
I learned of Forrest's treasure hunt earlier this year and became hooked on it not so much for the money (although that's what draws people and makes it competitive) but for the challenge of solving the puzzle and being the person to find the dang thing.
I'll just quickly go over how my wife and I chose our Beaver Creek solve but know that the Cabin Creek / Cub Creek solve was using very similar logic.
Of course this thing could be anywhere that Mr. Fenn has suggested. However, it would be difficult to convince me that there is a better WWWH than Madison Junction. The preponderance of thermal hydrogeological water features of the world flow down the Firehole and Gibbon rivers. When the two come together to form the Madison they move further from the geysers and hot springs. Add to that the fact that Madison Junction was the origin point or birthplace of Yellowstone and you could see how it would be a good spot to "Begin It…." From there I am not as sure of my solve but here goes. We took the Madison Canyon down by car as it was too far to walk.
Put in below the home of Brown:
Ok so I am not in love with the idea that Hebgen Lake is the home of Brown. Sure there are Brown trout there but they are up and down the Madison from there as well. Because the lake tilted from the earthquake in 1969, one of the banks was brown from exposed soil without vegetation but that didn't last forever. What drew me to this answer may make some laugh but I think it also ties to a story in TTOTC. When Mr. Fenn talks about sliding down that rusty fire escape slide from Spanish class, he adds that it left the bottom side of his pants brown but it was worth it. You can't get to close to it anymore as I imagine you could bet back in Fenn's day but where Hebgen spills over to reform the Madison, the overspill is a slide of sorts. You can see the end of the "slide" from Hwy. 287 near Big Wig Loop but to get a better idea of what I'm talking about, look at it from Google Earth. Anyway, for our purposes this is the home of Brown Damnit so lets put in.
From there it's no place for the meek:
So I'm not one of those people who is counting every vowel in every line and thinks that this means something astrological or that Fenn was thinkig on so many levels that you need to know 5 different Native American languages to solve this thing. That said, I don't see why the word "meek" keeps being misconstrued to mean "less than brave" or "afraid". The word means quiet. It can mean weak as in "easy to convince to change mindset or opinion". But I think lets just go with simple. No place for the meek is no place to be quiet. You don't want to be quiet in bear country unless you want to meet a bear. In Grizzly Bear country, you don't want to meet a bear period. Add to that it rhymes with creek and there's your meek.
So we drove up USFS Rd. 985 that runs adjacent to Beaver Creek.
The end is never drawing nigh;
There'll be no paddle up your creek,
Just heavy loads and water high.:
I've heard the "nigh" equals left idea but I think he's looking for a word that rhymes with high. There will be no paddle up your creek means walk up a creek that is very small and obviously unnavigable.
So, with that, our idea was to walk up the West Fork of Beaver Creek which, yes is a fork that enters from the left hand side when one is charting a path up Beaver Creek proper. We parked at the West Fork trailhead and began hiking. I am very aware that Mr. Fenn has said that Indulgence is not near a human trail but when you are out there, in order to get away from the road, the only logical solution to enter nature is to take a trail or to start walking in the creek. The second option is very slow moving and there are fishermen and women that frequent these creeks but if you think it is hidden where there is a moderate amount of human foot traffic, I have no reason to dissuade you from just walking around in the creeks and look for the blaze. We chose to take the trails and to look for places to diverge from the trail on our quests.
We started down the trailhead and made it about 3 minutes in before I decided that I would like to change out of my shorts and into jeans. This trail isn't well trodden and the growth would have been uncomfortable at the least. Plus, I figured this to be another layer for the bear to chew through so I would at least get to see the annoyance that the bear would face having to chew through the denim of my trousers to get to my leg flesh. I imagined that, if I was lucky enough to remain conscious long enough I could see the humorous mouth calisthenics of trying to spit the jeans without fumbling my fibula into the canyon below. Anyhow, I put on jeans.
We walked approximately 1:45 in stopping at several small mountain streams that resembled washouts. We walked up and explored a few that would have been great hides including this small waterfall next to a log that looked like it had been burnt.
We went through a few switchbacks until we came to one, at which point we decided that Mr. Fenn would not have come this far in. We knew we had at least an hour and fifteen minutes to walk back. We figured that for an 80 year old this is at least a 3:30 round trip even if you know exactly where you are going and I am not convinced that a man of this age would do it twice in a day. The unmarked switchback upon which we turned around was the fork at which the hiker would decide to go to the right to go to Avalanche Lake or to the left to go to the triple small lakes. This junction, and actually the trail in general, was unmarked which is a shame because if we had known that we were that far in, we would have carried on and went up to Avalance to see it. Oh Well.
On the walk down between scaring off bears with our singing voices, we decided to walk off the trail to see where the west fork met the main Beaver Creek. When we got off the trail, we began seeing a lot more evidence of animals from trodden grass, moved rocks, and, of course, poop. We began to get an erie feeling that we were on someone elses land and ignoring the no trespassing signs. When we saw fresh bear tree markings we felt like we should turn around now lest we make some markings of our own in the aformentioned jeans. At that thought, I saw a jawbone that turns out is the bottom jaw of an elk. We decided to take the jawbone home and leave the rest of this elk for some other treasure hunter to find.
Good Luck To All,

Here are the books (on my radar) that are celebrating their Book Birthdays today (a.k.a. books that are that were published in Canada today)! Happiest of Book Birthdays to all of these lovely new releases! (P.s. you can find my past Book Birthdays posts here!) Which book birthdays are you most excited for? Are there any that you've already read?
⤖ This Week's Book Birthdays ⬻
Title: Serpent & Dove
Author: Shelby Mahurin
Type: Fiction
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Publisher: HarperTeen (HarperCollins)
Bound as one to love, honor, or burn.
Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned.
Sworn to the Church as a Chasseur, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. His path was never meant to cross with Lou's, but a wicked stunt forces them into an impossible union—holy matrimony.
The war between witches and Church is an ancient one, and Lou's most dangerous enemies bring a fate worse than fire. Unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, a choice must be made.
And love makes fools of us all.
⤖ Happy Birthday ⬻
Title: Dear Haiti, Love Alaine
Authors: Maika Moulite and Maritza Moulite
Type: Fiction
Genre: YA, Contemporary
Publisher: Inkyard Press, (HarperCollins)
When a school presentation goes very wrong, Alaine Beauparlant finds herself suspended, shipped off to Haiti and writing the report of a lifetime
You might ask the obvious question: What do I, a seventeen-year-old Haitian American from Miami with way too little life experience, have to say about anything?
Actually, a lot.
Thanks to "the incident" (don't ask), I'm spending the next two months doing what my school is calling a "spring volunteer immersion project." It's definitely no vacation. I'm toiling away under the ever-watchful eyes of Tati Estelle at her new nonprofit. And my lean-in queen of a mother is even here to make sure I do things right. Or she might just be lying low to dodge the media sharks after a much more public incident of her own…and to hide a rather devastating secret.
All things considered, there are some pretty nice perks…like flirting with Tati's distractingly cute intern, getting actual face time with my mom and experiencing Haiti for the first time. I'm even exploring my family's history—which happens to be loaded with betrayals, superstitions and possibly even a family curse.
You know, typical drama. But it's nothing I can't handle.
⤖ Happy Birthday ⬻
Title: The Unkindest Tide
Author: Seanan McGuire
Type: Fiction
Genre: Adult, Urban Fantasy
Publisher: DAW Books (Penguin Random House)
Note: This book is part of a series, so there may be spoilers for a previous book/books in the synopsis below.
Hundreds of years ago, the Selkies made a deal with the sea witch: they would have the sea for as long as she allowed it, and when the time came, she would call in all their debts at once. Many people assumed that day would never come. Those people were wrong.
When the Luidaeg—October "Toby" Daye's oldest and most dangerous ally—tells her the time has come for the Selkies to fulfill their side of the bargain, and that Toby must be a part of the process, Toby can't refuse. Literally. The Selkies aren't the only ones in debt to the Luidaeg, and Toby has to pay what she owes like anyone else. They will travel to the fabled Duchy of Ships and call a convocation of the Selkies, telling them to come and meet the Luidaeg's price…or face the consequences.
Of course, nothing is that simple. When Dianda Lorden's brother appears to arrest Dianda for treason against the Undersea, when a Selkie woman is stripped of her skin and then murdered, when everything is falling apart, that's when Toby will have to answer the real question of the hour.
Is she going to sink? Or is she going to swim?

Age eight: Disney Mouseketeer; Age fifteen: first #1 single on the US pop chart; Age seventeen, *tenth* #1 single; and now, at Age nineteen…life is a queasy blur of private planes, weird hotel rooms, and strangers asking for selfies on the street.

Title: Well Met
Author: Jen DeLuca
Type: Fiction
Genre: Adult, Contemporary
Publisher: Berkley Books
(Penguin Random House)
All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author, Jen DeLuca.
Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of the volunteers would be so annoying that she finds it impossible to stop thinking about him?
The faire is Simon's family legacy and from the start he makes clear he doesn't have time for Emily's lighthearted approach to life, her oddball Shakespeare conspiracy theories, or her endless suggestions for new acts to shake things up. Yet on the faire grounds he becomes a different person, flirting freely with Emily when she's in her revealing wench's costume. But is this attraction real, or just part of the characters they're portraying?
This summer was only ever supposed to be a pit stop on the way to somewhere else for Emily, but soon she can't seem to shake the fantasy of establishing something more with Simon, or a permanent home of her own in Willow Creek.
⤖ Happy Birthday ⬻
Title: There Will Come a Darkness
Contributors: Katy Rose Pool
Type: Fiction
Genre: YA, Fantasy
Publisher: Henry Holt Books for Young Readers
The Age of Darkness approaches.
Five lives stand in its way.
Who will stop it… or unleash it?
For generations, the Seven Prophets guided humanity. Using their visions of the future, they ended wars and united nations―until the day, one hundred years ago, when the Prophets disappeared.
All they left behind was one final, secret prophecy, foretelling an Age of Darkness and the birth of a new Prophet who could be the world's salvation . . . or the cause of its destruction. As chaos takes hold, five souls are set on a collision course:
A prince exiled from his kingdom.
A ruthless killer known as the Pale Hand.
A once-faithful leader torn between his duty and his heart.
A reckless gambler with the power to find anything or anyone.
And a dying girl on the verge of giving up.
One of them―or all of them―could break the world. Will they be savior or destroyer?

Parlez-moi d'Amour Gala Recital with Felicity Lott at the French Institute
06/12/2012 from 20:00 to 22:00
With Dame Felicity Lott
and Jason Carr (piano)
on Thursday 6 December 2012, 8.00pm, at the Institut français
to celebrate the restoration of the Institut français' Steinway piano
and the forthcoming festival "It's All About Piano" in March 2013
Felicity Lott and stage director Laurent Pelly joyously subvert the codes of the classical concert, by proposing a very original performance, midway between cabaret review and one-woman show, under the title "Let's Talk About Love!" ("Parlez-moi d'amour").
With her inimitable chic, Dame Felicity Lott, accompanied by pianist Jason Carr, will enchant with a wide musical array: timeless classics by Offenbach and Poulenc, Broadway dazzle courtesy of Americans Stephen Sondheim and Richard Rodgers, and a hint of French charm with Benabar, Mireille, and more.
Airs from operas, musical comedies, Lieder, songs, anything goes. From young waif led astray to bitter old spinster, this most Francophile of British singers speaks to us of love in all its forms, in a big acting number that mixes refined elegance with unhinged fantasy.
The concert will be followed by a champagne reception in the presence of the artists.
This concert is a fundraiser for the forthcoming "It's All About Piano" festival in March. The festival programme will be announced exclusively on this very special occasion.
Featuring some of the most proeminent international concert pianists, "Its All About Piano" will take place from 22-24 March 2013 at the Institut français and provide a special exploration of the king of the music instruments. Including classical recitals, late night jazz concerts, free tuition, kids workshops, and social events, this will be a very exciting new way to use our beautifully restored piano in partnership with Steinway Pianos and Piano Magazine.
