Online advertising is speedily becoming a main portion of all self storage operations. And rightly so there are hundreds of thousands of possible renters that use the Online every month to locate storage. The storage business is not the only business exactly where the Online plays a enormous part. Pretty much any business now need to contemplate the Online as an crucial supply of new small business. In just a handful of years we'll most likely be thinking of it our key supply of new small business.
You may well or may well not know that Online advertising is offered for a fraction of the price of conventional advertising. In addition, the Online enables you to show a plethora of facts to possible renters like: images, maps, unit sizes, rates, and specials. In reality, you can even give buyers the potential to rent instantaneously (if this function is offered on your web page)! Online advertising is versatile, which means you can speedily and very easily transform your advertisements all through the year. And arguably the ideal aspect of Online advertising is that site visitors, customer patterns and behaviors and the actions these persons take can all be tracked and monitored – producing it simple for you to evaluate its effectiveness.
Due to the fact this subject is nevertheless new to some of you in the business, I wanted to share the terms most frequently employed when speaking about Online advertising:
1. URL – the web page address you form into your browser to go to a webpage.
2. Search Engine – I will just say Google. Google is the most broadly employed search engine. Some other well-known search engines contain Yahoo, AOL, and MSN.
3. Search engine optimisation – the acronym for Search Engine Optimization. This course of action aids YOUR web page move greater and greater in the search engine rankings when persons form in distinct words or phrases into a search engine. The web-sites you see on the 1st web page when you search for a thing are properly optimized and are getting most of the site visitors.
4. PPC – the acronym for Spend Per Click. This is a kind of Online marketing (and a main supply of Google's income) that enables you to only spend when persons click on your ad and are taken to your web page.
5. CTR – the acronym for Click Thru Price. This is the percentage of persons who click on your ad out of all these who see it. The greater this percentage, the much better.
6. CPC – the acronym for Price Per Click. This is how considerably you spend every time somebody clicks on your ad. In the self storage business this is ordinarily among $1.50 and $three.00.
7. Impressions – the quantity of occasions your ad was noticed by a searcher on a search engine.
8. Conversion Price – the quantity of actual renters out of all your inquiries. You want this quantity to be higher as properly.
9. CPA – the acronym for Price Per Acquisition. This is how considerably it expenses you to obtain a new consumer.
10. ROI – the acronym for Return on Investment. This is the ratio of revenue gained or lost on an investment in terms of advertising it is how considerably profit you are producing for every advertising dollar you commit.
Your objective for Online advertising need to involve capturing as a lot of tenants as achievable by means of the Online at the lowest achievable price (lowest CPA). Due to the fact the Online enables you to show so considerably facts to possible renters, generally occasions these possible renters come to you currently being aware of exactly where you are situated, your workplace hours, unit sizes, and specials and for that reason, are prepared to rent a unit.
Men and women applying the Online will get in touch with you in 1 of 4 techniques:
1. Contact. Numerous persons use the Online as a analysis tool and then proceed to choose up the telephone to get in touch with.
2. Stroll-in. Also, a lot of persons, right after researching you on the Online will opt for to stroll in to your facility.
3. E mail. Numerous forms of Online advertising let buyers to get in touch with you by way of e-mail, either by means of a kind or in a regular e-mail.
4. Rent on the internet. If you give them the choice by means of your web page a lot of will take benefit of it.
Numerous owner/operators consider the Online is a mysterious monster that will not be successful in their nearby industry. In reality the Online is a extremely successful marketing medium that will produce a good flow of new tenants if you use it ideal. The Kelsey Group located that much more than 43% of buyers search the Online to locate a nearby solution or service!
Let's speak about your web page. Numerous of you most likely have a web page. That is normally the 1st step most owners take when beginning to promote on the internet. One particular of the most significant issues to try to remember about your web page is that you need to attract persons to it in order to achieve monetary worth. 80% of Online customers start off at a search engine. If your web page is not located on the search engines (especially the 1st or second web page) you will be missing out on 80% of these possible renters.
You can have the coolest, flashiest and most high-priced web page on the net but if you do not have persons going to and taking action to rent from you, it will not outcome in any new tenants.
There are 3 standard solutions to assure your web page seems on the search engines:
1. Spend Per Click Marketing (PPC). If you use Google, MSN or Yahoo to do a search, these advertisements are along the ideal side of the outcomes web page and often up prime. They are ordinarily labeled "Sponsored Hyperlinks." These campaigns are pretty swift to setup and outcomes can be immediate. Count on to spend $1.50 – $five.00 per click (just about every time somebody clicks on your ad to go to your web page). This can get extremely high-priced if you do not know what you are carrying out on the other hand if accomplished ideal it can prove to be a extremely price successful way to achieve new tenants. If you are going to try a PPC campaign by oneself, I hugely advise a book known as "The Ultimate Guide to Google AdWords" by Perry Marshall.
2. Organic/All-natural Search Engine Optimization (Search engine optimisation). These are the non-PPC outcomes you see when you do a search. The key distinction among this and PPC is that you do not spend per click. Acquiring your web page ranked organically ordinarily requires much more time and experience. But, after you establish this ranking, the site visitors is ordinarily heavier and much less high-priced. I advise discussing an organic Search engine optimisation campaign with your net programmer to see if they can aid you.
Be cautious when proceeding with an organic campaign in this business. 1st web page rankings are extremely competitive and could possibly not be accomplished with out time and a heavy investment. Also, beware of any Search engine optimisation businesses that guarantee or assure 1st web page rankings! When speaking about Search engine optimisation, no 1 can assure rankings of any sort. If they make this assure, they are usually attempting to trick you to get your small business.
3. On the net Directories. On the net directories are produced for buyers searching for a distinct solution or service. Our web page, USstoragesearch.com, is an on the internet directory that targets searchers searching for self and mobile storage. We preserve our web page hugely optimized organically and do substantial Spend Per Click marketing so that it shows up on the 1st web page of all main search engines locally and nationally for a wide variety of self storage connected search phrases. You will see us on the search engines for search phrases such as "self storage,' 'storage unit,' and for a wide variety of nearby search phrases such as 'San Diego self storage.' Due to the fact of this we see much more than 70,000 guests every month on our web page and are in a position to direct them to our facility members.
If you are an operator that is not at present marketing on the internet, a directory is the quickest way to get began with out any Search engine optimisation or PPC information. There are a handful of excellent on the internet directories out there for the self storage business. Shop very carefully and ask a lot of queries. The most significant point to ask about a directory is how they are qualifying the possible buyers they are sending your way. You want to be positive the directory is in a position to send good quality prospects your way.
These are the 3 basic techniques to drive site visitors to your web page. With the affordability of Online advertising and the quantity of persons applying the Online to locate storage, I advise you test all 3 solutions and see what performs for you.
Now that you know all about the fundamentals of Online advertising and the 3 most successful techniques to drive site visitors to your web page I encourage you to seriously evaluate how you are marketing on the internet. It really is extremely cheap and simple to track – there is no purpose not to.

First thing I'd like to say is thank you to everyone who followed from my last thread. I'll start by saying, I started orientation in Chattanooga on the 27th of April 2015 and today is the 29th. I've already been through it and I've already been assigned a trainer with a load waiting on us. We're headed from the east coast to the west coast so it's a pretty long haul but I'm more than excited to start this chapter in my life. Covenant has impressed me so far, they were very warm welcoming and easy to get along with. The process was much faster than expected and so far I'm glad that I chose them. My trainer so far has been the nicest guy I've met, he wasn't like most that I hear of that are all weird about the truck. His truck is very very clean and he treats it as if what's his is mine and vice versa so he is also very welcoming. Been an amazing experience so far. I'm getting my first load tonight. I will let you guys knows how it goes and try to post daily. All have safe travels and drive safe.

All the best. I hope your path is smooth after being locked in a 6'x8' cab for a couple of weeks.
Well everyone I can finally say I've driven 77,000 pds down the interstate and finished and used up my 11 hours, it's time for some rest before I get back behind the wheel after my 10 hr break but I'd like to share some of my thoughts from my very first experience under a load heading about 2,700 miles from our pickup location. So far it's been one hell of a learning experience, I am making it as fun as possible yet safe for myself and others, my trainer I've got to say is top notch. So far he has been a man of his word and full of knowledge, definitely enjoys training. I have learned so much so quickly, and continue to learn I just stick it in my brain, sleep on it, and when I get back behind the wheel it comes to me and everything my trainer has told me falls right into place. I learned immediately that you must must must have confidence/trust in yo u r trainer to know he is there for a reason and he isn't going to put you in an ununsafe position intentionally. The trainers give up alot of home time and personal space to teach students, HAVE THE UPMOST RESPECT FOR YOUR TRAINER!! I know I grew up as, you have to earn your respect to get respect but in this case he/she is trusting you with millions of dollars of responsibility and most importantly their life and everyone else's lives around you. If the trainer does something that is just unacceptable talk to them like an adult and it will most likely be difused quickly, I'm glad my trainer and I clicked but I had respect for him immediately and listened to his ground rules as well as what he expects out of me and it's been great. I have to remember also that this truck is his home and he welcomed me into it so I treat it as if it were my own and clean up after myself and if we stop then I'll grab a few things and throw them out to keep it clean. It was very simple, he welcomed me to his home and his playing field. I need him to be successful in my own career, yeah being in this small area gets cramped sometimes but when it's rest time I come to the bunk, close the curtain and he doesn't bother me, and vice versa. The trainer is here to help, not here to bash you or anything like that, remember take everything with a grain of salt. It's only because the trainer cares!! It's better to have one that makes sure you are safe and doing the right thing instead of someone who just throws you in the driver seat and says okay see ya in ten hours. That's not the kind of trainer you want, you want the one who cares about your success! I apologize the update is late, my phone wouldn't work yesterday. I will catch up tomorrow on my second 10 hour shift from today.FatDaddy Thanks this.

As a kid Summer was the king of seasons. It was the season of staying up late (sometimes even until 10!), going swimming in the neighbor's pool, and eating freezie pops by the dozens. It was the time for grilling out, for s'mores, for vacations where we'd sleep in cabins and bathe in lakes. Summer was the pinnacle of experiences. Until it got old. Every year I'd secretly start to long for structure. I wanted days spent doing things other than alternating between Sailor Moon reruns and Harry Potter rereads. Every year, around early-August, I'd start to long for school.
My school days have since past, but about this time every year I start to long for fall. Summer was great and all, but it's starting to wear out its welcome. I'm tired of the heat, I'm tired of the sweat, I'm tired of wearing shorts. I'm fed up with needing fans upon fans upon fans to sleep. I'm bored with pulling my hair up in a ponytail and drinking iced tea. I want crisp nights and sweaters and hot toddies. I want squash and kale and falling leaves. Does anyone else get bored of summer? Or am I just some freakish anomaly?
Summer's here for at least another month, so I can either keep complaining or make the best of it. Likely I'll do both. That means it's time to take advantage of the few parts of summer I'm not sick of yet. It's time to drink more rosé, hang out around some lakes, and indulge in the best part of summer- summer produce.
There are many, many good recipes out there for tomato salads. They often involve basil and copious amounts of olive oil. Sometimes they are excellent. Sometimes they are good. And there are many times that they hit the spot. But I wanted to make something that would stand up as a meal, and would pair tomatoes with mint, which is one of my favorite underrated food combinations out there.
It's worth noting that this isn't technically a true panzanella. An authentic panzanella tosses cubes of stale bread in water, then wrings them out before adding them to tomatoes. I toss toasted sourdough croutons with the juices of the salad and the dressing instead, and I think it makes a satisfying substitute. If this version of panzanella offends you, I'm sorry. My only excuse is that I'm an American, and our national cuisine is based on the adaptation, borrowing, and stealing of great ideas around the world.
Authentic or not, this is an excellent dinner salad. Ripe peaches and tomatoes are tossed with shredded mozzarella, mint, and sourdough croutons in a shallot-balsamic vinegar dressing. The sourdough croutons drink up the dressing, which leaves them deeply flavored but not soggy. The tomatoes and peaches play nicely together, making every bite a combination of sweet and acidic. The mint keeps things cool, while the mozzarella adds a creamy, indulgent note.
Whether you're done with summer or are already mourning it's approaching end, this panzanella is an excellent way to celebrate the season.
Peach and Tomato Sourdough Panzanella
Be sure to taste your dressing and add as much salt as necessary- it'll be the difference between a salad that sparkles and a salad that falls flat.
Serves 4
2 slices sourdough bread, roughly torn
olive oil
salt and pepper
4 peaches, pits removed and sliced
4 medium tomatoes, sliced
8 ounces mozzarella, torn
a small bunch of mint, chopped
4 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 shallot, minced
salt and pepper, to taste
flaked salt such as Maldon, for serving
Preheat the oven to 350. Combine the sourdough with a healthy drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkling of salt and pepper on a sheet tray. Toss well to combine. Bake until the sourdough croutons start to go golden around the edges, about 20 minutes. Set aside and let cool.
In a large salad bowl combine the peaches, tomatoes, mozzarella, and half the mint mint. In a small bowl or a jam jar combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and shallot with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Stir or shake well, then taste. Add more salt and pepper as necessary until the dressing tastes brightly acidic but not unpleasantly harsh. Set aside.
Add the cooled croutons to the salad. Shake or stir the dressing again, and drizzle over the salad. Use your hands to toss well, so that everything is evenly coated. Top with the remainder of the mint and sprinkle with flaked salt.
It's best to eat this shortly after it's made. The longer it sits the more dressing and juices the bread will soak up. However, if you like soggy bread, then let this sit for as long as you'd like.

Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis
Keep Your Bones Healthy and Strong!
Are you worried about bone loss as you age?
If so, you're smart to be thinking about it.
The good news is that you can take steps to prevent bone loss. By the end of this article, you're going to know how to keep you bones strong and healthy through middle age and beyond.
Some statistics:
- 10 million Americans have osteoporosis and another 34 million have low bone density.
- 20% of those with osteoporosis are men.
- About half of all women over 50 will suffer from a fractured hip, wrist or vertebrae.
- White and Asian women over the age of 50 are at the highest risk.
What Causes Osteoporosis?
Before you can take steps to prevent osteoporosis, you need to know what causes it. Without getting too scientific, your body regularly absorbs old bone and tissue and replaces it with new using the minerals calcium and phosphate. Vitamin D also plays a huge role in helping your body effectively absorb the calcium.
When you're young, your body replaces the bone faster than it absorbs the old bone, which causes your bone mass to increase. You reach peak bone mass in your early 20's. As you get older, your body starts slowing down production and you lose bone mass faster than your body can replace it. Your bones then become porous and weak if you don't take steps to prevent it.
Your likelihood of developing osteoporosis is dependent upon how much bone mass you accumulated when you were young, so it's extremely important to get plenty of the necessary minerals during that time. If you didn't though, there are still things that you can do to build bone and reduce your risk of injury.
Who's at Risk?
Though osteoporosis affects adult men and women of all races, there are some factors that increase your risk. These include:
- Sex – Women are much more likely to develop osteoporosis than men.
- Age – Women over 50 and men over 70 are at higher risk.
- Genetics – If your family has a history of bone loss or fractures, you're at a higher risk.
- Size – People with smaller frames are more likely to develop osteoporosis.
- Low Hormones – Women's estrogen levels dramatically decrease during menopause and men's testosterone levels gradually decrease as they age. People with thyroid, parathyroid, or adrenal problems are also more prone to experience bone loss due to hormonal changes caused by these problems.
- Dietary Issues – People who don't eat enough calcium on a regular basis, people with anorexia or other eating disorders, and people who have had weight loss surgery are all at a higher risk for osteoporosis.
- Medications –There are certain medications that effect the way that your body absorbs calcium or rebuilds bone. Some of these include certain anti-convulsants, anti-depressants, cancer treatments, steroids, meds for gastric disorders, and transplant anti-rejection drugs.
- Bad Habits – Choices such as smoking, drinking alcohol excessively, and living a sedentary lifestyle all increase your risk of developing osteoporosis.
As you can see, many of these factors are directly within your control. Just by making good life choices, you're already taking steps to protect your bones.
How Can You Tell If You Have Bone Loss?
Many people don't find out that they have weak bones until they actually break one of them. There is a test that your doctor can administer called a dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) that measures the density of the bones in your spine, hips and wrists. These are the places most susceptible to osteoporosis. The test is painless and quick.
How Can You Prevent Osteoporosis?
I'm glad that you asked because there are 5 main things that you can do to keep your bones dense and strong. By incorporating these healthy habits into your lifestyle, you're drastically reducing your risk of bone loss.
Get Plenty of Calcium – This is the main component of bone and if you don't get enough, your bones WILL get weak. Adults 18-50 need 1000 mg per day. Women over 50 and men over 70 need 1200 mg per day. Good sources of calcium include:
- Dairy products
- Green, leafy veggies
- Canned fish with bones included (salmon or sardines are great)
- Soy products
- Products that have calcium added
It's way better to get your calcium from dietary sources because it's proven that your body absorbs it best when it's consumed naturally, but if you can't eat enough calcium-rich foods, you can always take a supplement.
- Get Plenty of Vitamin D – Your body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium, so if you're not getting enough D, it doesn't matter how much calcium you're getting. Scientists haven't determined an ideal dose, but 600-800 international units per day is a good place for adults to start. You can safely take up to 4000 IU's a day. Good sources of this vitamin include:
- Sunshine! That's right – you can absorb much of your daily requirement of vitamin D directly from the sun.
- Fish and shellfish – Nearly all fish are great sources of vitamin D, especially fatty fish such as salmon, halibut, herring, sardines, trout and mackerel. Shrimp and oysters are also great sources.
- Foods fortified with vitamin D such as milk, cereals, and juices.
Exercise – Combine strength training exercises with weight bearing exercises such as jumping rope, jogging, and stair climbing. Strength training exercises help build muscles that prevent injury and also build bone in your upper body. Weight bearing exercises work primarily by building bone in your lower body. Exercising not only strengthens and builds bone, it also slows your rate of bone loss.
Quit Smoking – Smoking decreases the rate at which calcium is absorbed in your digestive tract. It also decreases estrogen levels in women, which we've already discussed as a factor that increases your risk of osteoporosis. Now you have yet another reason to stub out that smoke and throw the pack away.
Drink Moderately – Consuming more than one drink per day may affect the way that your body absorbs calcium and builds bone. Drinking to excess also increases your risk of falling and breaking bones, so do like the commercials say and drink responsibly!
Now that you know what you need to do in order to avoid osteoporosis, get to work. Eat right, exercise, and drop the bad habits. After all, you only get one set of bones – take care of them!
If you have osteoporosis or know of other ways to help prevent it, please share your knowledge with us in the comments section below!

Like most Boomers who are either already retired or planning for the day your paycheck stops, you have probably saved some amount of money to be available for the years you are not earning a salary. And you may be quite knowledgeable about retirement savings accounts like the 401(k) or IRA, or investment products like mutual funds, stocks and bonds.
The next stage of your financial life – converting your savings into the maximum amount of dependable, spendable income – is often more complex and confusing. It also comes with a whole new set of terms.

The finance minister presented the union budget for 2013-2014 today which has some proposals to drive in investment that can benefit SMEs. For the electronics' manufacturing industry, the National Electronics Policy (NEP) 2012 is intended to promote domestic manufacturing of equipment. Semiconductor industries such as those into manufacturing wafers will get incentives.
The finance minister noted that MSMEs have a large share in the creation of jobs but too many of them do not grow as desired. To encourage them to grow, MSMEs will now be allowed to retain with them benefits of development schemes for 3 years after moving out of the MSME category. Assitance given to SIDBI for this purpose will increase from Rs. 5000 cr./year to Rs. 10000 cr./year. The FM added that tool rooms and technology development centers(TDCs) have done well in the field of technology upgradation for SMEs and has made a promise to get assistance from the World Bank to the tune of Rs. 2200 crore in order to set up 15 additional TDCs.
SMEs will also be permitted to list on the SME exchange without the requirement of IPOs subject to meeting certain investment conditions.
Coming to IT hardware, the import duty for set-top boxes has been increased from 5% to 10%. The FM noted that about 60% of the domestic mobile phones manufactured are those that sell for less than Rs. 2000. For them, the excise duty remains the same. For others, the duty has been raised to 6%.

Lynn DeBeal
From the beautiful Inuit artwork and avant guard art here in the Northwest, and the colors of the flora in our Emerald City of Seattle every season as a child and adult. To my Teen years in the S.F. Bay Area absorbing the 1960's culture. To my early childhood years of living, and traveling overseas. My families fine art collection, the ornate artwork my Father brought back from Asia, my artwork is inspired by the diverse populations I've seen and places I have been all my life.
Living in Germany overseas as a child, I had the opportunity to travel through Europe and see many of the artistic wonders of the Western World. I was awed by the Sistine Chapel. Its beautiful painted ceilings, sculptures and stained glass windows. The Italian Glass makers of Venice, the detailed woven rugs and ornate metalwork of the armor and iron work in the German Castles on the Rhine. My family also exposed me to the fine art of the non-Western World. Works comically categorized as "Folk Art". It seems just as "Fine" to me as Western Art. The primary colors and joyful scenes of the Haitian and African Art and Traditional Western Fine Art my family collected. The beautiful, ornate and delicate Asian artwork my Father brought back from Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia. The traditional Native American beadwork my Grandmother valued and shared with me as a child. All of it has had a major influence on my life and artwork.
My life has been filled with beautiful artwork. It is how I reference the world. How the light hits a friends face during a conversation. A rainbow of oil in a puddle on the sidewalk. The brick textures and ornate stonework on Pioneer Square buildings. I'm driven to celebrate the feelings connected to the life I see with my art.
Leaving the Northwest as a child, I spent my teen years in the North Bay Area of California, batiking, silk-screening, and illustrations. I probably had every size of Repidograph pen tip there was. From the Mod and Optical Illusions, detailed "Acid Art" of Fillmore West and Winterland Posters. The comic book styles of R. Crumb, Dori Seda, the black and white political art in the Berkeley Barb, S.F. and Santa Cruz news papers, colorful "Flower Power" Art. Peter Max's "Yellow Submarine", the resurgence of Maxfield Parish's blue landscapes and Art Deco - they all influenced my artwork.
Pastels are probably my favorite medium. I love doing "high contrast" pieces and pastels make it possible to show the brightness and darkness in my life. I love the blending and layering I can get with paints though. I enjoy using paint as a medium of gradations. Where as my work in pastels often lacks a distinct edge, a line to it, or is outlined, I like the "rendering" of smooth transitions from color to color that can be done with paint. I delight in the large curves of Diago Rivera's murals.
Sometimes I don't have the space to set up my easel and tools to sketch, do pastels or paint. Thats when I turn to my computer and digital art. Last year I stumbled across a program that allowed me to fold and multiply my work as if it was origami. You can see the results of that process in my "mandalas", "Orbs" and "Cyber Sculpture" Galleries. I use only my original artwork. I Tweek the colors, and basically take it to a whole different level. I am having a blast. I never quite know what I'll end up with. I know I have a set of favored colors that I use a lot. But one of the amazing things I've been able to do is add a third dimension to my work. Give it texture, as well as dimension.
Making and sharing art is what keeps me whole and balanced. I hope you enjoy my work.
Peace, Lynn Armede DeBeal

The DYING FETUS track "Second Skin" was featured on "South Park"'s new episode, "Band In China", last night.
"Band In China", the second episode of the 23rd season of "South Park", mocks how Hollywood, specifically Disney, shapes film, TV and music to avoid Chinese censors in order to have art shown in the country.
In the episode, Stan Marsh and friends form CRIMSON DAWN, a brutal death metal band playing tracks by DYING FETUS and French death metallers DEATH DECLINE.
Formed in 1991, during the height of the death metal explosion, DYING FETUS has matured into one of the premiere extreme death metal/grindcore acts to emerge from the massive global metal underground. Combining an innovative mix of technical virtuosity and catchy song structures to create the ultimate blend of death metal, hardcore and grind, the band is recognized worldwide as a prime example of songwriting perfection across eight studio albums. Their latest LP, "Wrong One to Fuck With" (2017), was hailed as a "menacing motherfucker" by Metal Injection.

What is database
Databases make it easy to store, add, organize, and retrieve information. Suppose a worker has to find the account number for a customer. Imagine how much time that worker saves if he or she can find the information simply by typing the customer's name instead of searching through piles of paper!

6 Motivational Happiness Quotes
"If you spend your whole life waiting for the storm, you'll never enjoy the sunshine."
Morris West
"Life will bring you pain all by itself. Your responsibility is to create joy."
Milton Erickson
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Mark Twain
"The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives?
When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see in truth that you are weeping for that which has been your delight."
Kahlil Gibran
"Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."
Abraham Lincoln
"Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect. It means you've decided to look beyond the imperfections."

Configuration files are a nice way to store various game variables in Unreal Engine games. They are particularly good in that you can make changes to parameters in them and not have to compile/build you game again. Your power users could even tweak things by making changes to these parameters.
Unreal comes with a bunch of configuration files that you can find under [Game Location]\Saved\Config\Windows
Below is a screenshot indicating the config files I have by default on creating a new blank project
Reading from config files:
You can read any parameter from these files by making use of GConfig as shown below:
if(!GConfig) return; FString value; GConfig->GetString(TEXT("/Script/UnrealEd.LevelEditorPlaySettings"), TEXT("MouseControlLabelPosition"), value, GEditorPerProjectIni); UE_LOG(LogTemp, Log, TEXT("%s"),*value);
In this example we intend to read the MouseControlLabelPosition value under the catergory /Script/UnrealEd.LevelEditorPlaySettings from the file EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini.
We call the GeString method in this case because the target value is a string, you have other options such as GetBool etc. The first argument you pass in is the section name. Take a look at the screenshot below showing what the file contents look like. The second argument is the name of the parameter you want to read. The third argument is the variable you want to store the result into, note we have made this an FString. The fourth argument is a const for the file we want to read in this case for EditorPerProjectUserSettings.ini it is GEditorPerProjectIni.
Writing to config files:
In the example below we will write to the config file Game.ini and create a new section called Sample.Section.
if (!GConfig) return; FString newSection = "Sample.Section"; GConfig->SetString( *newSection, TEXT("PlayerName"), TEXT("Chloe"), GGameIni ); GConfig->Flush(false,GGameIni);
Note that on completion we called GConfig->Flush. This is to ensure that any data held in buffers is flushed to the target config file.

Fortune Magazine, November 2017
JobSuite Innovation and the Salesforce Platform
Five years ago when chosing to move JobSuite to the cloud on the new Salesforce platform, we were taking a calculated risk. Technology was changing at a rapid pace and no one really knew for sure what the future of the cloud would bring. As it turns out the move to a SaaS model, built on the salesforce platform, was a great move for JobSuite customers. Salesforce has quickly grown to be a $10 billion company, through innovation and customer success in the cloud. Check out the article in Fortune magazine "How CEO Marc Benioff Drives Innovation at Salesforce".
The Winter 2017 release of JobSuite will bring a slew of exciting new tools that project managers can use to be more efficient. The salesforce platform continues to innovate, and we will continue to take advantage of the innovations on the platform, in the JobSuite application.
Give us a call or send us an email to schedule a preview of the exciting new features we will be launching the the winter of 2017 release of JobSuite.

Church of England: Imperial Rome
"It is not an act of aggression," the Archbishop of Canterbury insisted as the Vatican's metaphorical tanks drew up outside Lambeth Palace on Tuesday. Not even his admirers quite believed him, and few saw Pope Benedict's back-channel deal with Anglo-Catholics opposed to women bishops as "not a vote of no confidence". It looked much more as if the Pope had launched a small craft to ferry the disaffected back across the Tiber, a move to asset-strip the Anglican communion of those bits the Vatican might find useful. It was an uncompromising recognition of the fissiparous state of Anglicanism and the failure of Rowan Williams' long, hard struggle to hold it together. (altro…)

Church of England: Imperial Rome
If God does not exist, we must urgently invent one
Posted in Filo-sofia (?), tagged Anglicani, ateismo, Chiesa, Cristianesimo, ecologia, Jimmy Carter, laicità, religione, Religione e Società, religione e vita pubblica, Ronald Reagan, Rowan Williams on aprile 7, 2009| 1 Comment »
It will be necessary to invent god because organised religions or things very like them are the only ways ever discovered to make millions of civilians co-operate whole-heartedly.
If God does not exist, we must urgently invent one
Rowan Williams says God will not save us from catastrophe: he wants us to save ourselves. But we won't be able to do it without religion.
If God won't rescue us from impending doom, as the Archbishop of Canterbury claims, what possible use is it to believe in him? This looks like a knock-down argument, but it turns out to be a swing at empty air. Whatever evidence has led believers to their trust in God, it surely isn't that he can rescue them from death or disaster. (altro…)

A society that does not allow crosses or veils in public is a dangerous one
Rowan Williams
Coming back from a fortnight in China at the beginning of this week, into the middle of what felt like a general panic about the role of religion in society, had a slightly surreal feel to it. The proverbial visitor from Mars might have imagined that the greatest immediate threat to British society was religious war, fomented by "faith schools", cheered on by thousands of veiled women and the Bishops' Benches in the House of Lords. Commentators were solemnly asking if it were not time for Britain to become a properly secular society. (altro…)

Fortnightly our PLGs meet. To further understand Ako Orewa and how to implement into my practice, I chose to be involved in the PLG which is breaking down the 'tools for learning'. We have discussed how these tools are discussion starters to have with students, and the aim is to increase learner agency. My plan is to get my head around the tools, begin to think about how I can use the tools in my lessons and then hit the ground running next year, possibly next year's inquiry.
I feel these tools are great stepping stones to decrease the teacher being in control and increase student ability to self manage their learning. In the future I would love to give students the ability to design their own courses and how they will assess their learning! I think a major affordance of using these tools within the classroom will mean that the students have greater 1:1 time with the teacher, and there will be much less time spent on managing behaviour.
Last week we focused on the orange tool. Our task was to design a swimming pool in small groups, but before doing so, we broke down the time required to complete the task and the resources we needed. Leanne and Bev (the facilitators of our PLG) then walked around the room and asked the groups key questions related to the tool such as "How are you going for time?" and "What resources do you think you could have used if you had more time?" As the student in the situation, I became more aware of how much I needed to do, and when I needed to do it by. I was held accountable for my task as others relied on me and the teacher asked lots of questions during the design process. We debriefed the activity by then thinking about what to do next and reflecting on how we used our time - which then started to link into the blue tool!
I walked away from this session with greater understanding of how to include this tool within my classroom, and I am looking forward to experimenting with the others too. Below are the Slides Leanne created and talked us through last week, about how she has implemented the tools in her own practice so far.

The Current Context of the Islam, Democracy & Human Rights DiscourseA recent posting on ZMag and a more personal encounter with a friend that I have for long thought of as "progressive" and his decision to align himself with the new group which explicitly seeks to both market the USA to Muslims and market so-called Muslim interests to the USA administration has made me reflect anew about the importance of both the subjectivity, location and structural context of critical scholarship.
This is an importance widely acknowledged in post-colonial discourse, cultural studies, feminist studies and in liberation theology. In responding to these games of careerism – and as one also teaching in the academy here in the USA I am frantic about my own potential to be a more sophisticated cog in the same game of Butheleziism, or what one may describe here in North America as "house niggerism." Perhaps now, "White House niggerism?" (Gatsha Buthelezi was a Black character – tribal chief – that the Apartheid regime had for years touted as the moderate answer to the ANC and Mandela)
For me, the question is "What is my context as a progressive African Muslim scholar?" Where is my authenticity located when I uncritically embrace the constructed intellectual and political categories and urgencies of others as my own and seek to re-define a fourteen hundred year old tradition – albeit an ever-changing one – in the face of external demands? (Even if these demands were generated by a complex array of factors wherein that tradition is not entirely innocent.)
As for my personal context, the questions of pluralism, gender justice, human rights, democracy etc, have for long been ones that I have been engaged with and with a sense of principled urgency that has its origins in a rather different context than the current dominant one. My own engagement with the South African liberation struggle and that of my comrades, my work as a Commissioner for Gender Equality for five years and my current work with Muslims who are living with HIV & AIDS have often infused many of those elsewhere who share our ideals with pride – a sense that Muslims can be part of a vision larger than obscurantist fundamentalism. It is, ironically, precisely this location of my own scholarship within a principled vision of a just world that makes me so profoundly suspicious of the dominant urgency to re-think Islam in 'contemporary terms'.
We are witnessing – and participating in - an intense and even ruthless battle for the soul of Islam as the title of one of Gilles Keppel's works "The War for Muslim Minds" (Harvard University Press, 2002) a ruthlessness that often escapes many of us who are keen to nurture and imagine a faith that is peaceful and compatible with the values of dignity, democracy and human rights.
For many non-Muslim Westerners who are driven by conservative ideological imperatives, Islam and Muslims have become the ultimate other. Many liberals, on the other hand, move from the assumption that "global harmonies remain elusive because of cultural conflicts" (Anouar Majid). Hence, the desperation to nudge Islam and Muslims into a more 'moderate' corner, to transform the Muslim other into a Muslim version of the accommodating and 'peaceful' self without in any way raising critical questions about that western self and the economic system that fuels the need for compliant subjects throughout the Empire.
Muslims too, are conflicted about their relationship with both "outsiders" as well as to the tradition of Islam and its ideals. The tensions of be-ing in a world wherein the vast majority of Muslims feel trapped between the demands imposed on them in their existences as subjects of the Empire on the one hand, and the violent convulsions of a fascist-like Islamically invoked response by the co-religionists on the other, are palpable. At every step of our encounter with our non-Muslim neighbours, colleagues, students and immigration officers those of us – committed or nominal Muslim, confessional or cultural - living or working in the West, have to justify our existences, our faith, our humanness and our non-violent intentions.
Declarations that Muslim societies must be democratised are fairly easy and there is no shortage of publications that argue against the idea that Muslim societies or Islam are inherently opposed to democracy or that Islam is compatible with democracy. The questions really are what does democracy really mean, what does the cover of democracy really hide, and what are the historico-political reasons for the "democracy deficit" in the first instance?
Islam, like every other religious tradition, is the product of both its heritage – itself the synthesis of ideas, beliefs and the concrete lived experience of the earlier Muslims and the way that heritage is interpreted by every generation. 'Generations' though is not a disaggregated, disembowelled, classless social category. It is thus impossible to speak about an Islamic synthesis for our age as if "our age" is valueless or interest-free. When we reflect on questions of democracy we must ask "for what and in whose interest?" The origins of the dominant urgency to re-articulate Islam in ways acceptable to the Empire must be interrogated if we are to come up with anything beyond adhoc accommodationist responses meant to placate the Empire or to smooth our existences or career advancement in the belly of the beast.
I am an African and, notwithstanding my own commitment to working with those living and dying with HIV & AIDS, it is not the reality of millions of deaths on this continent and millions more dying that forms the backdrop to my thoughts on some of the challenges facing Islamic thinking… My thoughts, instead, are shaped by a compulsion to ensure that all our theological questions and responses, all searches for an Islamic synthesis must be engaged through the prisms of the wounded Empire and premised on the culprit and his community's - contrition. Democracy and accountability, human rights and gender justice … the urgency for all of these are palpable and the impression that it is all part of an attempt to humanize the barbarian is inescapable.
I am not suggesting that these are issues that have not been dealt with in Islamic scholarship before 11th of September 2001. I am concerned that the teacher with a formidable cane had sent all of us into a corner after one of our classmates sullied his new book or did something unspeakable in his coffee cup. Discerning a lack of complete and unqualified remorse – even some rejoicing – the entire class is now subjected to collective punishment. And so, all of us now have to write a thousand times, "I shall behave – I shall be democratic – I shall respect human rights – I shall be peaceful." As it is, the class – Muslim societies - is a "remedial one" for "slow learners" and we are on probation. (Some of my classmates have successfully escaped into a much smaller but "real" class next door). Meanwhile, many of the other kids are dying around me. In the case of Africa and indeed in much of the Two-Third World, quite literally. We are living in a world where more than one 1.5 billion live on less than one dollar a half, where the gap between the lowest 20% and the top 20% of the word's population has increased from a ratio of 1:30 in 1960 to 1:174 in 1997. Yet, my major project is to get into the good books of the teacher; to present myself as worthy of his acceptance, as different from the barbarian who did what he did.
Besides the immediate reality of the children dying around me, there are, of course, other realities around me including coercion, the irony of violence being used to impose a language of peace, the larger context of education and schooling which pretends to be ideology-less. Neither the elite nor the aspirant elites of our generation, so desperate to 'succeed' within the system, have ever been too interested to engage the works of thinkers such as Paul Goodman, Paulo Freire and Ivan Illich. Too tantalizing is the promise of entry into the domain of the establishment - subject to turning a blind eye to its inherent injustice, the demand for uniformity, the reduction of human beings to empty vessels to be moulded to serve a particular kind of society with particular economic needs, the transformation of insan in to homo aeconomicus.
Both traditional – particularly those aligned to the power structures of Muslim states - as well as modern Islamic scholarship are under enormous pressure to ensure that the dominant Islamic synthesis that emerges is one that fits into the immediate demands of the teacher. Just a few days after 11th of September, the National Post newspaper had a story titled "Globalization Is So Yesterday". The immediate demands of the teacher had nothing to do with hunger, poverty, exploitation, socio-economic justice, HIV/AIDS and affordable treatment. Instead we were compelled to deal with madrassahs, Wahabism, the clash of civilizations, terrorism, Islam as peace…
In many ways, scholarly elites are represented by the student who is desperate to outdo his fellow students in appeasing the teacher. For these students threats are unnecessary; the promise of acceptance by the teacher and the concomitant material advantages are sufficient incentives. Despite the protestations of benign objectives of advancing education and learning, the teacher is there as part of larger project – a project that is politically unwise to interrogate; in an authoritarian system any moment spending "valuable" time on challenging teachers means losing marks … it is "unscholarly, it lacks intellectual depth, does not have the sang froid of true scholarship"… (Majid Annoaur)
As with the learners, the teacher is also not a disembowelled human being. He comes from the city and it is a village school. There are larger civilizational and ideological issues at stake, including understandings of development and its price, culture, the commodity value attached to people and land and the supremacy of supposedly rationalist forms of thinking. The issue of the teacher's sullied cup represents only the sharper edge of the frustration, anger and agenda, the rise and march of the Reconstituted Empire. The larger context of this is globalization for which we require the intellectual courage and political will to also historicize and unravel its implications when we consider issues of human rights and democracy in relation to Islam today.

Aesop Rock and Tobacco - Malibu Ken (Rhymesayers Entertainment)
A quick pleasure, dense as expected. Always enjoy breaking apart the images and references as well as I might, checking up on a few online and letting some remain mysteries. Fresh soundmatch.
Akira Rabelais - cxvi (Boomkat Editions)
Soft speech, quiet drones, endless piano decay. fin et suite
Angelo De Augustine - Tomb (Asthmatic Kitty Records)
beautiful, quiet songs
Autechre - AE_LIVE (Warp)
It's interesting to listen to live set after live set from the same tour... and then listen to them all again. There of course emerges recognized passages and elements, but there isn't one (studio) reference to know exactly how it canonically goes, how this sounds different from the next. What emerges is a fuzzy composite ideal, and each new listen has its standout moments. Is it the same moments from the same sets that stand out each time? No idea. Used the graphic for the one I first heard in 2015.
British Murder Boys - Fire in the Still Air (Downwards)
The best BMB document I know. Hard and on-point.
Croatian Amor - Isa (Posh Isolation)
Enigmatic, dark sounds, a bit future-exotic. The AI folk are everywhere these days, friendly and scary.
Ex:Re (4AD)
Another sad and intimate one, great lyrics/songs.
Lee Gamble - In a Paraventral Scale (Hyperdub)
the edge
Mikron - Severance (CPU Records)

Secret to Success - At the Top
This poem is about how you have to keep working to maintain the number one spot, at the top.
I have worked hard,
Done all that I can,
Burned the midnight candle,
In a dark, lonely land,
Toiled hard,
Worked night and day,
Not minding the hardships,
The aches or the pains.
I have read, researched,
Found new ways,
Solved the most puzzling,
And brought on new waves,
Waves of success,
Waves of victory,
Now, I am at the top,
Am happy as can be.
Let me tell you now,
The view is great,
The feeling is splendid,
The glory is great,
Feel proud of yourself,
But keep working hard,
Never slip down,
From where you are,
© 2012 Nithya Venkat

Boa Mistura lends perspective on Decade of STEM
International artists' installation celebrates NIHF STEM Center for STEM Learning and value of public space
This May, the Roots of Rubber installation by Spanish arts collective Boa Mistura will beautify the plaza of the National Inventors Hall of Fame School for STEM Learning. The installation combines a large-scale painting on the surface of the plaza with a series of three-dimensional forms featuring an inspirational excerpt of poetry by Akron native, Rita Dove.
Downtown Akron Partnership (DAP) is teaming up with Akron Public Schools, STEM learners, the city of Akron and the public to enliven this public space with art featuring Rita Dove's poetry with support from the John S. and James L Knight Foundation. Dove is United States Poet Laureate, Pulitzer Prize winner for poetry, and the only poet with both the National Humanities Medal and the National Medal of Arts to her credit.
University Avenue presents a unique opportunity to connect The University of Akron to the heart of downtown. Inspired by a series of recommendations from a Gehl Studio study funded by Knight Foundation, DAP is working with partners along the corridor to improve public spaces with light, art and activity. Identified as a key location along "The Link," and with a 10-year anniversary to celebrate, the STEM school plaza is a perfect fit.
"Great public spaces have the power to transform and connect communities. Shaped by local-talent, this project will create a new meeting place for Akron residents where they can come together, reflect and enjoy a space that is uniquely Akron," said Kyle Kutuchief, Knight Foundation program director for Akron.
The NIHF STEM plaza calls for a grand scale installation, one that changes the dynamic of space and invites pedestrians to walk around. This project brings activity and beauty to the edge of the sidewalk and creates a smaller and more comfortable experience.
Boa Mistura was selected based on the team's expertise with large scale, dynamic installations, the level of community engagement involved, and a unique anamorphosis technique that incorporates science and math principles into the work. Anamorphosis is an optical deformation of perspective that forces the viewer to visualize the work from a predetermined point of view. In this way, all other views of the plaza will offer a distorted image of the poem and invite the user to playfully interact with the art piece in order to get the correct position.
"This project with Downtown Akron Partnership and Boa Mistura provided an authentic learning experience for our learners," said Amanda Morgan, STEM school instructional leader. "It allowed them to take a problem from ideation to prototyping and now to implementation. These are the kinds of experiences that they remember for a lifetime. We are very excited to be part of the connection from The University of Akron to downtown Akron in such a meaningful way."
The project also commemorates the 2019 celebration of the NIHF STEM Middle School's 10-year anniversary. Last fall, artists from Boa Mistura held workshops with STEM learners, students from The University of Akron, and the community to share the team's craft while learning about Akron and what inspires the city.
"Working with Boa Mistura in the classroom was truly awesome," said Emily Butler, art learning coach. "To have such accomplished, dedicated and engaging artists working directly with learners on a project that will enrich their learning environment and community is huge. Having first-hand experience developing ideas for and working on a community project that ties into the global arts community and the work these artists create is something these learners will remember for a long time."
Students were appreciative of the process as well.
"I had lots of fun working on this project, specifically because it allowed the other students and me to put our own unique ideas into a piece of art that would later be brought to life," said seventh grade learner Elli Rambler.
"It was also extremely enjoyable because it involved us kids in a way that let us not be overparented, and let us express ourselves in a professional, yet exciting form," STEM learner Dove Jackson continued. "It could make the city a bit more exciting and eye-catching. The bright colors would draw people in and the idea of words hidden from a certain angle would spark some interest in people walking by. I personally believe that this is an amazing idea."
Pablo Ferreiro Mederos of Boa Mistura assisted in the fall workshops as well as the installation of Never Turn Back on the High St. parking garage during the 2018 High Arts Festival. During the workshops, the Boa Mistura team asked for significant voices of influence and inspiration to Akron.
"The work of Rita Dove was mentioned time and time again," Mederos said. "We are so fortunate to have her permission to integrate her work. This project speaks with beautiful verses of the spirit of the city of Akron as a place with history. For us, these words try to empower the population and encourage the feeling of belonging."
For the design, two different excerpts from Rita Dove's poetry were voted on by STEM learners. The winning choice phrase from Dove's Dawn Revisited, "If you don't look back;The future never happens."
The public may also participate in the painting of the mural by volunteering through DAP's Urban Corps program. Details on the program and list of volunteer days is found at downtownakron.com/urbancorps.
The culmination of the project will be a community celebration of the Decade of STEM on May 24 from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. The event is free to the public and features music, dancing, entertainment, food and tours of the STEM school. Register at https://stemplazaparty.eventbrite.com.
The project marks the fourth significant space-lift project for the DAP/Knight Foundation partnership with the goal to improve the quality of public spaces in downtown. This installation follows other creative collaborations with local artists: Northside Green with April Couch and Mac Love; North High Street with Dominic Falcione and the Art Bomb Brigade, and Lock Next with John Comunale.

Jammcard's How I Got The Gig: David Ryan Harris On John Mayer
How I Got The Gig: David Ryan Harris On John Mayer is a 2017 episode in the Jammcard original series of interviews moderated by musician Elmo Lovano, who founded the Jammcard networking app and community in 2013. Since one of the app's benefits is helping musicians find work, the hope is that David Ryan Harris' experience getting the gig with John Mayer will encourage artists to be creative about their own professional opportunities. "I got the gig with John based on stuff I do as an artist," said Harris, a singer/songwriter who has also worked with Dave Matthews Band, India.Arie, Christina Perri, Santana, and Tedeschi Trucks Band. Harris' self-titled 1997 album only sold about 10,000 copies, and one of them was purchased by John Mayer. Back in the day before his record deal, Mayer looked Harris up in Atlanta and they played out some together. Later, running into each other in L.A., Mayer said Harris always was welcome to a "bunk on the bus," Harris jumped into Mayer's band and was on tour. "Wow, it's the most organic thing ever," said Lovano.

Salmon farm, Campbell River, British Columbia. (Photo: DFO)
Tuesday, February 17, 2015, 22:30 (GMT + 9)
The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) of Canada has announced the implementation of multi-year licensing for aquaculture operators in British Columbia.
The changes will provide the industry with more operational certainty and longer term planning capacity while allowing them to invest in sustainable practices, according to federal minister Gail Shea.
Aquaculture owners and operators will still have to meet their licence conditions throughout the period for which their multi-year licence is issued. Should they contravene these conditions, the DFO has the authority to suspend or revoke the licence.
The Government of Canada continues to engage with First Nations, industry, provincial authorities, and environmental organizations on the duration of multi-year licensing for implementation in Spring 2015.
As the result of a British Columbia Supreme Court decision, the DFO became responsible for the regulatory control of aquaculture in British Columbia in December 2010.
As the regulator, and building on its targeted regulatory reform agenda for aquaculture, the Department is aligning its approach to licensing with multi-year licensing practices already in place in most provincial jurisdictions.
Under the Fisheries Act, multi-year licences may be issued for up to nine years.
The Department is maintaining its moratorium on aquaculture development in the Discovery Islands and therefore multi-year licences will not be available for this area.
"Implementing multi-year licences with annual fees by instalment will increase operational certainty and stability for aquaculture operators in British Columbia by improving their investment and insurance opportunities," said Minister Shea.
"Our Government is proud to take further steps to enable the aquaculture industry to thrive and create much needed jobs in rural, coastal and Aboriginal communities, while being sustainable and environmentally responsible."

State drug enforcement is sending a warning to health care professionals to not write illegal prescriptions. As MPB's Mark Rigsby reports, the Bureau of Narcotics its stepping up enforcement to crackdown on prescription drug fraud.
Drug enforcement agents recently arrested and charged two nurse practitioners. Brenda Shelton, of Ripley, and Amanda Jones, of Starkville. Mississippi Bureau of Narcotics Director John Dowdy says his office is focused on finding physicians who write illegal prescriptions.
"We're coming. You don't want MBN and you don't want DEA knocking at your door. To the health care professionals in this state, we're not playing around with this anymore."
Dowdy says Shelton wrote 55 prescriptions over two years without a license. He says Jones wrote prescriptions in the name of a family member and filled them at a local pharmacy. Marshall Fisher is Commissioner of the Department of Public Safety, and the former narcotics chief. He says trained medical professionals misusing their authority is part of the prescription drug problem.
"It is troubling that we have people who are supposed to be on our side, if you will, who have crossed over for whatever reasons. This is not something that just started yesterday, or last year, or even two or three years ago, it's been going on for a while."
MBN says two doctors are still under investigation, and could be charged later. They are Dr. Dwalia South, of Ripley, and Dr. William Bell, of Tupelo. Both doctors surrendered their licenses for prescribing pharmaceutical drugs.

Look Back in Charanga
Sue Miller & Charanga del Norte
Look Back in Charanga
Charanga del Norte CDN OOCD10
Accomplished flautist and Cuban music expert Sue Miller deserves an apology from me. This CD arrived last summer, and was played then, but somehow slipped down into a pile…This is someone who knows her stuff and loves nothing more than a good descarga (jam session). She feels Cuban music in her blood, and the band behind her does some sterling work. That she's the star is beyond doubt, and her freewheeling, spiralling improvisations are joyful to hear. Bonus points for coming from Leeds and the delightful wordplay in the title, but the meat is in the performance, which is as tasty as they come – within Cuba or outside.
DJ Chris Nickson
