Kessel systems are unrivalled for their high build quality. They have shown themselves to be market leaders in drainage solutions. They’ve consistently put themselves at the forefront of innovation and for this reason, we at Dyno-Rod were very happy to provide Kessel products to our customers. Our team can help you assess your needs and install Kessel products when they are the right fit for your needs.

Kessel Systems for Flooding

Backwater flooding is an all-too-common issue for buildings at sea level or within flood prone areas in Ireland. If your property is in an area prone to flooding, drainage protection systems are essential. Non-return valves are the most commonplace solution for this problem. Kessel Backwater Valves are built from the ground up to be easy to install and maintain. They are made of durable, high-quality plastic materials designed for durability for decades after installation. There are also modular solutions that enable added functionality and can also tackle difficulties arising from difficult pipe locations.

Lifting Stations

Suppose you are draining water from a basement or floor that is below the level of the sewer or too far away to water to allow for gravity drainage. In that case, a lifting station enables you to connect the drainage to the outside sewer. Kessel provide a range of systems for either grey water(sinks and showers) or black water (toilet waste). In either case, Kessel Lifting Stations provides a system that can manage domestic and commercial requirements.

Hybrid Lifting Stations

In a situation where your property’s drain is prone to backing up, a Kessel hybrid lifting station allows normal gravity drainage until there is a back up/flood at which point it switches over to a pumped system. Hybrid lifting stations only activate when needed. For example, suppose your property is close to a river or canal that’s prone to periodical flooding. In that case, the hybrid lifting station will activate during those times allowing you to continue using facilities without disruption. When the flood subsides, the system reverts to gravity drainage, saving energy and reducing costs.

The system you need may depend on your building’s configuration, the demands on your drains and other factors. We can provide a free consultation to help you choose the best setup for your needs. If you have any questions, you can always give us a call 1800 437 246

We operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year across Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Kildare & all of Ireland to ensure that you are always covered when domestic, commercial and industrial drainage problems arise.

L’Occitane Arlesienne Perfume Review

L'Occitane Arlesienne perfume

Rose Week 2018 – A Cosmetic Rose

It’s Rose Week on EauMG! This is the annual celebration of rose-centric perfumes! This week I’m reviewing 5 fragrances that display a different aspect of rose perfumes.

Let me start out this Rose Week with a disclaimer for any new or visiting readers, I’m a rose lover. I love rose perfumes for their versatility. A rose can take on many roles. There’s also the long history of the rose. It seems like since the beginning of time, humans have been attracted to the rose. This doesn’t make it easy for the rose. Because of its popularity, the rose can come across as cliché. It seems that everyone has an opinion of the rose.

What do I mean by “cosmetic rose”? Because of its popularity, a rose can be associated with cosmetics since it, along with violets and iris, have a long history of being used as fragrance for lipstick, powders and other things that may be found on a vanity. Even though there are still cosmetics manufactured with this distinive “lipstick aroma”, this still conjures nostalgia. There are so many perfumes (and as of recently, home fragrances) that are a genre of vintage cosmetics AKA they smell like lipstick (Malle Lipstick Rose, Maison Margiela REPLICA Lipstick On, Chanel Misia). Cosmetics were scented with perfume and now perfumes want to smell like cosmetics.

L’Occitane Arlésienne has all of the aspects of a Cosmetic Rose expect for elaborate copy saying that it smells like cosmetics. L’Occitane doesn’t suggest this connection, instead they play up “femininity” and how this is a modern take on all of that. And I do agree that it is a more modern take on nostalgic notions of femininity. It’s like looking at some photograph of a woman in front of one of those Art Deco vanities from an era before your time and imagining what it would smell like, what she would have smelled like through the lenses (or nostrils!) of your modern life vs. what would have actually been authentic.

Arlésienne opens with tart citrus and something that reminds me of rhubarb leaf. The opening is bubbly and you can hear it giggle like a happy little baby. As it wears, I pick up on a powdery mimosa (like the mimosa in Bvlgari Pour Femme). This is Rose Week and I know you are expecting big ‘ole roses. Arlesienne isn’t a huge, obvious rose. It’s one of those “cosmetic” roses. It’s like a powdery mix of violets and roses. It gives the impression of French dusting powders and lipstick. But, in comparison to other perfumes in the “smells like cosmetics” category, Arlesienne is more modern. It’s sheerness keeps it from smelling like auntie’s kisses. It dries down to a whisper of white musk and amber.

What I like about Arlésienne in comparison to the other cosmetic roses that I own is that it has a sheerness. It’s a more modern take on lipstick, powder and girly-girl pink stuff. It’s like looking at picture of a woman sitting in front of an Art Deco vanity and imagining what that vanity, or that woman, would have smelled like through our modern perspective vs. what it/she would have actually smelled like.

Janet Blair

Notes listed include bergamot, saffron, galbanum, rose, violet leaf, sandalwood, white musk, ambroxan and ambrette. Launched in 2016. PERFUMER – Fabrice Pellegrin

Give Arlésienne a try if you like violet/roses or delicate florals. Or perfumes like L’Artisan Drôle de Rose, Chloé, Love Chloé Florale, Burberry Body, Bond No. 9 Park Avenue, Bvlgari Pour Femme, Bvlgari Rose Essentielle and/or YSL Paris. Also, note that I’m reviewing the newest, relaunched version. This 2016 version is slightly different than the 2014 but overall it shares the same DNA.

This is an EDT. Projection and longevity are below average…but I guess that’s average for an EDT!

The 2.5 oz retails for $69 at L’Occitane and Amazon. Bath and body products are also available in this fragrance.

Victoria’s Final EauPINIONA dusting of a face powder and a dab of lipstick on the lips and cheeks – a powdery rose and violet. I don’t know why I am attracted to these sort of perfumes, but I am. In a world that can feel so heavy, it’s really nice to be able to wear something so light and playful.

The Many Facets of Leadership

An introduction to our blog series about leadership and governance

This blog post is part of our series on leadership and governance.

A friend of mine served for many years as a school trustee. It seemed a thankless job: she fielded phone calls from angry and sometimes desperate parents, sat through endless graduation ceremonies, attended board meetings that dragged on way past midnight, and wrestled year after year with budgets that were stretched too thin. This is, to a large extent, the work that puts the “public” in public school – but not everyone is convinced it’s an important or even functional way to ensure public oversight. New Brunswick overhauled school board governance 15 years ago; Quebec is on the verge of dramatically altering school boards and school board elections (discussed in depth in our French articles); and after the recent implosion of the Toronto District “megaboard,” a National Post feature asked whether our school boards have been amalgamated until they are “too big to succeed.”[1]

For this issue of Education Canada, themed Governance and Leadership, we look at what makes for truly effective governance and also explore emerging trends in educational leadership.

As Kenneth Leithwood and Catherine McCullough point out in their article, school district organizations are largely invisible to the public, except when conflicts like school closures or strikes arise. Yet districts, and their boards, have a significant impact on student well-being and achievement. The authors report on a multi-year study to identify the effective leadership practices that lead to strong districts with positive impacts. Our web-exclusive article, “District Leadership for Democratic Governance” by Jim Brandon, also focuses on the importance of effective districts, and argues that elected trustees who advocate for local needs are a valuable component of educational governance in a “rapidly changing, pluralist, and globalized context.”

Camille Rutherford brings the leadership lens to the school level, exploring how technology and social media have contributed to a democratization of school leadership and encouraged teacher leaders and collaborative leadership to emerge. Cale Birk offers a different perspective on collaborative leadership, encouraging leaders at all levels to borrow from the design sector and make “user experience” a touchstone.

There are many more facets to governance that, space permitting, we would have loved to tackle. We’ve only kicked off the conversation – please continue it with each other, on social media, and with us (by email, Facebook or Twitter).

Baccarat or also known as Punto Banco is a game that has always had a reputation as a game for the rich players, and it managed to fend off most average players because of that.

After some time, average players started testing their luck, and more and more of them are discovering that Baccarat is a really good game, especially for the small stakes player because it has a relatively small advantage for the casino and it is very simple to master and play. As for the game itself, it can be played on a fancy and big table that is usually found in bigger, lavish casinos, while most other casinos will offer mini-Baccarat tables that can seat up to eight people.

Baccarat, as we already mentioned, is a neat game where it is ok to count cards, at least those on the table facing you because you need to know if you won or lost. It is not that difficult and you can have a good playing session for little money invested. If you are don’t bet with huge amounts of money, then look for these mini-Baccarat tables that will have lower wagers and on them, you will have the best bang for your buck.

Now we will address some of the mistakes beginners make in Baccarat, and if we managed to miss some, this website will give you additional info.

1. Rules

img source:

This is probably the most obvious mistake, but it is the most common one. How many times have you read the instruction for something and read it all the way through?! This is the same when it comes to beginner gamblers. They usually read the first few lines or even read through the entire rule book but only briefly, not memorizing a whole lot. This is where it comes tricky and this is where you lose a lot of cash. Baccarat isn’t that tough to learn and master, but you have to look at everything and you have to know every rule to give yourself the edge you need to win.

2. Online games

Now, most people just starting are afraid of online casino’s and they shouldn’t. Beginners think that more luck is in a real casino than in an online one. Most people still believe that the systems for online casinos are rigged against them and that they will lose a lot more money than they would gambling live. This is not true mainly because in online casinos everything is randomized and there are equal opportunities for everyone. The other thing is that you will lose a lot more going into the casino than logging into one. The math behind that is, at least when Baccarat is in question, there are a lot better odds and payouts in online gambling places. Casinos lower their edge because they don’t have the expenses of croupiers, rent for the casino and all other costs. Plus there are a lot of bonuses attached to online places, so weigh your decisions well.

3. There is no system

img source:

Baccarat has quickly placed itself in the position where it has become a player favorite and because of that, there are many pro gamblers out there who claim that they have the perfect system for Baccarat that can never fail. If you are a beginner and starting to play Baccarat because you think you can utilize some system that you paid or got from some master gambler, don’t kid yourself, you will only lose money. If you want to play successfully then learn the rules of Baccarat and try to have fun. For you it will be like for most gamblers – sometimes you will win, sometimes you will lose. That is the point of gambling. Wery few managed to get rich from gambling and all of them weren’t playing against the house.

4. Counting cards doesn’t help

Okay maybe you picked up a new skill along the way and you managed to earn some cash playing blackjack with your friends. You counted cards a few times and managed to win, but in Baccarat the story is a lot different. Counting cards as a means to win money in every casino is not only illegal but highly ineffective, especially in this game. Most don’t know that only the second digit of a combined total makes difference, which means that sometimes two or three cards on the lower side can matter more in total than two cards. This is exactly where beginner card counters make mistakes and lose money.

5. No limits

img source:

Gambling is all about fun and limits. Most beginners tend to go all out not setting their limit. When we say limits we do mean financial ones primarily, but other limits should be placed as well. Limiting yourself to gambling will aid you in the long run. Not going all in all the time and pacing yourself has a lot more benefits than what you probably imagine right now. All casino games probably bring the house more in the first few hours, but the longer you play, or the better you pace yourself, your odds of winning, and sometimes winning big increase exponentially. So set your limits, never spend more than you can and more than you have and you will always be OK.

So after everything is said, you should know what to avoid and what to do to avoid mistakes that most beginners make when taking up Baccarat. This isn’t something you should uphold religiously but you should take it as advice that was compiled thanks to experts that are in the game longer than some are alive. They tried it all, failed miserably and now they teach us the right way of this beautiful game.

Don’t think you are all high and mighty, you can do it all, start from the basics, learn the rules, and learn them well, don’t fight the odds, give online Baccarat a chance you might like it more than you think and eventually do not try to cheat or play the system. Just enjoy the game, limit yourself and you will have success and a lot of fun.

Institute Selection

We synthesise the information gathered during the initial strategic consultation and provide you with a detailed overview of the institute(s) we identify as most fitting.

Supplementary Materials

Our consultants work with students to create specific Letter of Recommendation (LOR) plans for each of individual recommenders.

What is a Statement of Purpose?

The Statement of Purpose or SOP is the Statement issued in the form of an essay or any other format prescribed by the University that the student intends to apply. It is directed towards the admissions panel of the University. It entails the outlining of personal goals and their correspondence with the University and the program one is applying to, that the admissions panel can assess students’ perspective and relevance to the program.

Why is it needed?

The SOP helps the admission panel to get to know the student better in terms of his personal beliefs, experiences, future goals, and vision in accordance with the program that they have intended to choose. The SOP provides students with a chance to explain their position better to the University and the SOP acts as complementary to the other documents like professional experience certificates, academic qualification certificates and transcripts. This also provides a chance for the students to pitch themselves in competition with their fellow applicants and make a case for themselves as to why they should be chosen for the program. In short, this allows the students to tell their own story.

What to include in it?

Four main sections need to be included within the State of Purpose (SOP). They are as following:

1. Personal background: This section entails explaining the socio-cultural and other aspects of your personality to the admission panel and how well your personality traits correspond with the program that you are applying to.

2. Talk about your future goals: In this section of the SOP, the student is required to articulately describe and map out their future goals. In doing so, the student would be required to clearly connect their goals for the future and how do they align with the university and program that they intend to apply for. Moreover, in this section students need to clearly establish and convey how the program that they intend to apply for would help to achieve their future goals both professionally and academically.

3. Enlist and describe why you have chosen the program you are applying to: This section of the SOP would entail the description of the reason behind pursuing the particular program at the university. In this portion, the student is expected to show prior research and knowledge about the program he/she is applying to. Moreover, this portion sets to clearly explain the motive behind applying to a particular program, therefore, one is expected to lay out their reasons that why one has chosen to apply for the specified program. This part can also entail why the student has chosen this university for the specified program and not any other university. Again, this would require research from the student’s end about the university and the program intended.

4. Describe your already held experiences and qualifications that make one suitable for the program: In this section, the student is required to briefly explain their already acquired experiences and how do they connect with the program they are applying for. The experiences in this regard could be full-time jobs, part-time jobs, internships, or even voluntary experiences. The already done research and publications could also be included within this section to draw relevancy to the program being applied to. Moreover, academic qualifications and other certifications that the student holds should be included in this section and they need to be connected with the program that one is applying to.

Mostly the students applying for undergraduate programs do not possess an established work history. However, in case they have internships or voluntary experiences they can provide details about the relevance of these experiences with the program that they are applying to. Moreover, the student should try to focus more on the future goals and the competencies/skill set that they hope to develop during the course of their study in the applied program. Also, the students applying for undergraduate programs need to focus on the academic qualifications that they have achieved so far, and what developed their interests when they chose to apply for the intended program.

Usually, the students applying for the post-graduate programs tend to have professional or research experiences. Therefore, they need to focus on how their professional experiences acquired thus far correspond with the applied program. It is also worth noting that the post-graduate programs are specializations therefore, specific details of the programs including courses and curriculum need to be researched so that the relevance with the specialized programs is developed based on the academic and professional experiences. Moreover, if the student has any research publications or research interests, they should also be aligned with the program details. Also, if one’s undergraduate program is directly linked with the post-graduate program then one needs to enlist your program relevance and how it fits with your future career/research endeavors. In case the student’s post-graduate program is different from their undergraduate degree, then the student is required to describe what sparked his interest and if his/her professional experience has correspondence with the applied program.

ScholarshipThe Statement of Purpose for scholarship applications, in addition to the already discussed sections, should also entail the financial aspects of the student. If the student is applying for a scholarship, then one should increasingly reference their previous academic and professional excellence.

Moreover, they should also enlist if they have been able to receive any other merit-based or need-based scholarship in the past. The students are also required to enlist their personal financial situation.

If the student is unable to pursue the program without funding from the scholarship the student needs to clearly identify the financial constraints that he faces.

How much time one should take for writing it?

The student must leave at least three months before the application deadline for writing the Statement of Purpose. The reason behind this is that rushed Statement of Purpose lack clarity of thought and purpose, which is the key prerequisite for successful SOP. Also, this time period provides enough time to carry out adequate research about the program and the University. Moreover, this also provides a chance for proofreading, editing the SOP, and taking second advice from Education Counselors.

How to write a strong statement of purpose?

A strong Statement of Purpose clearly outlines the purpose of application to the University. In defining the clear purpose for the statement the student is required to touch upon themes like why he/she wants to pursue their further education in the university, and the program applied for. If the student is applying to a research program clearly set out what are your research interests and how do they align with the program. If the intended program is a professional program, in that case, the student is required to outline the skills and competencies that one hopes to acquire from the program. Moreover, while outlining your motivation and purpose for application is to convey to the admission counselors that what you intend to do after the completion of the program.

As mentioned in the earlier portion the student is required to convey how their past experiences align with the program they are applying to. A strong Statement of Purpose would cover this section by giving clearly articulated real-time examples from their personal experiences in both academic and professional settings. These examples need to be specific and concise and correspond directly with your intended program.

Statement of Purpose

An important aspect of a strong SOP is that it is well-researched. In terms of research, there are three main areas in which the student must carry out research so that a well-informed SOP is developed. Research helps to align personal experiences, qualifications, and goals with the University and the program. The student could begin by researching the geographical location of the University that they intend to apply for. In doing so, the student can get to know about the country of the University and the culture of the university. The next step in the research is to research the program. This would entail different facets of the program including research methodologies, faculty, and the curriculum that is going to be taught during the course of study. Specific mention of faculty, curriculum design, and research methodologies used in the program help in nuancing the overall SOP. This also helps the admissions committee to recognize your efforts and intent while applying for the program.

Difference between a successful statement of purpose and unsuccessful sop:

The key difference between a successful Statement of Purpose and an unsuccessful Statement of Purpose is the articulation. A successful SOP clearly explains the personal agendas and motivation behind application whereas an unsuccessful SOP juggles incoherently with the multiple ideas while not being able to communicate their motivation and purpose for an application. Moreover, research regarding the university and program also divides the successful SOP and unsuccessful SOP. A lack of research results in an unsuccessful SOP based on superficial knowledge about the University and the program intended.

Essential tips:

There are six essential tips for writing a strong SOP:

1. Uniqueness is an important aspect. The SOP should portray that the student is a unique applicant in terms of experiences and future goals. This uniqueness would help the student to stand out amongst the heap of applications.

2. The SOP needs to have a clear flow of ideas and should not be rushed with too many ideas.

3. The writing style should be concise and easy to understand. Instead of using big words try using plain English to explain your purpose for the application. Moreover, do not become redundant by repeating the same thing over and over again.

4. Make sure the SOP is proofread many times and there are no grammatical or spelling errors.

5. Do not try to use an overly informal tone.

6. Do not try to include unnecessary personal details.

20 Things You Never Knew About Toto

Best known for hits like Hold the Line, Rosanna and Africa, the band Toto has met with huge commercial success over the decades – albeit with mixed critical reception. Despite the often scathing reviews, this Grammy Award-winning group has sold over 40 million records globally.

In 1977, a group of old friends from Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles began recording an album together. Within a few years, Toto became one of the best-known bands of their era, releasing 14 studio albums in their 43-year history.

The tragic deaths of brothers Mike and Jeff Pocaro led to many changes in the group, which has had thirteen members over its lifetime. Toto broke up in 2008, reformed in 2010 and took a hiatus shortly afterwards. But its popularity endures – and the band has even proposed a worldwide tour for 2021, named Dogz of Oz.

Read on to find out some of the strangest details about this unique rock band.

20. Toto’s Africa plays constantly at a secret desert location

In 2019, Namibian artist Max Siedentopf created a sound installation that uses solar batteries to play music endlessly.

Siedentopf’s chosen tune for this project was Toto’s hit song Africa, which came out in 1982.

He placed this unusual six-speaker system at a secret spot in the Namib Desert – the oldest desert in the world.

He told the BBC: “I wanted to pay the song the ultimate homage and physically exhibit Africa in Africa.”

“Some love it and some say it’s probably the worst sound installation ever,” he said.

“I think that’s a great compliment,” he noted defiantly of both his fans and critics.

19. Toto composed the soundtrack for Dune

Toto has only composed the music for one film – the 1984 box office bomb Dune.

With the exception of one song by Brian Eno, the band scored every note for this science fiction cult classic.

30 pieces were used in the PEG reissue of the soundtrack, including The Sleeper Has Awakened!, Paul Takes the Water of Life and Robot Fight.

Steve Lukather played guitar for the soundtrack, with David Paich and Steve Porcaro on keyboard.

Mike Porcaro and Jeff Porcaro were the percussionists, and Mike Porcaro also recorded the bass guitar part.

The group recorded the symphonic rock soundtrack along with the Vienna Symphony Orchestra and Volksoper Choir.

18. The band members play almost every song on Michael Jackson’s album Thriller

Michael Jackson’s 1982 album Thriller broke records when it held the number one spot for 37 weeks.

It remains the best-selling album of all time – but Toto’s role in the album is still relatively little-known.

Toto members were heavily involved in the instrumentals, working on almost every tune on the album.

Toto’s founding member Steve Porcaro co-wrote Human Nature with Jackson. As a single, it was also a top ten hit in the USA.

Meanwhile Jeff Porcaro and Steve Lukather played guitar and drums on Beat It and The Girl Is Mine.

For the latter tune, the Toto gang also worked with Paul McCartney, in what became the first single from the Thriller album.

17. John Williams’ son became their lead singer

Joseph Williams isn’t the first name that comes to mind when Toto is mentioned – he didn’t feature in any of the band’s most famous hits.

But he became the lead vocalist for Toto’s sixth and seventh albums, and you can hear him in tunes like Stop Loving You.

Williams has featured on eight Toto albums in total, including 40 Tours Around the Sun, which was recorded live in Holland.

He first joined the band from 1986 to 1988, and returned in 2010. When the band reformed a second time in 2020, Williams and Lukather were the only members of the most recent line-up to return.

Williams is the son of composer John Williams, who wrote the soundtracks for Star Wars, Jaws, Superman and countless other blockbusters.

Like his father, Joseph Williams is a film and TV composer. He penned music for the series Roswell, The Lyon’s Den and Miracles.

16. They claim to be the only band to ever refuse the cover of Rolling Stone magazine

“We’re the only band in history to turn down the cover of Rolling Stone,” Steve Lukather once told the St Louis Post-Dispatch.

“We knew they were going to do a hatchet job on us,” he added. Despite its commercial success, Toto often struggled against poor reviews and disdain from the press.

Released in 1981, Toto’s album Turn Back was a commercial failure everywhere except Japan.

Selling 900,000 copies worldwide, the album failed to produce any singles that broke into the charts.

It drew some of the harshest criticism the band has faced, with AllMusic critic William Ruhlmann saying it should have been entitled ‘Fall Back’, to reflect the band’s studio jobs they can fall back on.

Another critic suggested that music fans should ‘Turn Back’ if they intended to buy this album.

15. Before their Dirty Dancing fame, Patrick Swayze and Cynthia Rhodes appeared in the Rosanna music video

In the music video for Toto’s 1982 hit Rosanna, you may well recognise the title character as Cynthia Rhodes.

She stars in a bright red dress, dancing through the streets in this West Side Story-inspired video.

Rosanna was partly inspired by the actress Rosanna Arquette, who dated Steve Porcaro in the 80s.

Rhodes later won fame in Staying Alive and Dirty Dancing. She also starred as Tina Tech in 1983’s Flashdance and officer Karen Thompson in Runway.

Less noticeable in this music video is Patrick Swayze, who is one of the back-up dancers.

He later starred alongside Rhodes in Dirty Dancing, and is also known for 1990’s Ghost.

14. Sibling rivalry caused chaos in the band’s early years

Brothers Steve and Jeff Porcaro were among the band’s founding members, with their brother Mike joining the band officially in 1982.

The trio have said they often struggled with rivalry and sibling squabbles while the band was young.

“I felt undervalued [at the start],” Steve Porcaro commented to Classic Rock in 2015. “Jeff and I were always at each other’s throats.”

“Mike got along with both of us. But Jeff and me really bumped heads,” he said of Jeff’s perfectionist tendencies.

However, Steve added that he knew his big brother would often praise him behind his back.

Steve summarized Jeff in a 2013 interview with Music Radar: “From the perspective of his youngest brother, he was a hero/tormentor/supporter/bully/friend all wrapped up together like most older brothers!”

13. Toto regrouped to support a member with ALS

Born in 1955, Mike was the middle Porcaro brother. He played bass guitar in the band.

All three Porcaro brothers learned drums from their father, Joe Porcaro, the famous jazz musician.

But Mike only got stuck into guitar when his elder brother Jeff gave up after three lessons.

He dropped out of the band in 2007 after experiencing weakness in his fingers, and was later diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a neuromuscular disease.

Toto split in 2008 – but then regrouped for a 2010 European tour, to raise funds for Mike and raise awareness about his illness.

Following his eight-year battle with the disease, Mike Porcaro passed away in Los Angeles in 2015.

12. Their album Toto XIV was recorded specifically to cover their legal fees after a court battle with Sony

Toto sued its record label Sony in 2008, after discovering unpaid royalties. In retaliation, Sony counter-sued, claiming the band owed them overpaid royalties.

After an expensive and lengthy court battle, in 2015 a judge ruled Sony did not owe Toto any money.

The band was forced into making the album Toto XIV to make up for their legal costs.

Speaking to Smashing Interviews Magazine in 2015, Lukather said the album was “born out of litigation.”

“When we came through the litigation, all the s*** left over from management that screwed us and all the other negatives, we decided to turn the negative into a positive,” he said.

“When we put our minds to do the record, we said that we had to make as good a record as we possibly could with all the tools and all the talent and all the experience we’ve had and not just phone it in for a check,” Lukather added.

11. They named their band after Dorothy’s dog

There’s an urban legend that Toto was named after the ‘real’ surname of band member Bobby Kimball.

Steve Lukather joked about this to the press, saying that Bobby was actually called Robert Toteaux.

Jeff Porcaro had recently watched The Wizard of Oz when the band began recording in 1977.

He picked the name of Dorothy’s loyal pup as informal name for the new band, and jotted it down on their demo tapes.

He particularly liked it after the guitarist David Hungate pointed out that “toto” was a Latin word meaning “all-encompassing.”

The group felt this name was ideal for its wide-ranging musical talent, encompassing many different genres.

10. Lukather said Toto has “taken more s*** than any band ever”

In 2005, Toto star Steve Lukather described some of his frustrations with the music industry in an interview with Todd Seely.

“I’ve heard all the criticisms,” Lukather stated. “We’ve taken more s*** than any band ever in history. I’ll put it to you that way. Ever. In history. Of anyone.”

He speculated that the band’s traditional training and technique had fuelled claims it was “soulless.”

He countered such ideas, saying, “F*** that s***. Anybody that says technique is bad is full of s***. They just can’t play.”

However, the star doesn’t seem to have taken any negative reception to heart, noting, “I can laugh at it now.”

“I’m to the point where I’m like ‘Come on, you can’t come up with some new criticisms for me?’” he said.

9. 95% of the world’s population has heard the work of a Toto member

According to Toto’s official website, the band member’s wide-ranging performances have reached the ears of 95% of the world’s population.

Altogether, Toto stars have featured on over 5000 albums, which have sold around half a billion copies.

Thanks to this extremely large discography, Toto members have also amassed a total of 225 Grammy nominations for their work.

This enduring popularity was proven yet again in 2015, when the band produced a new studio album for the first time in a decade.

Toto XIV debuted in the Top Ten for nine different countries, and it featured 18 musicians.

This thirteenth album was the band’s most successful work in the USA and UK since 1988, when their album The Seventh One was released.

8. David Paich wrote Africa before ever visiting the continent

Despite being Toto’s most recognisable hit, Africa was built on a National Geographic fantasy, according to Paich.

“I just kind of romanticized this story about a social worker that was over there, that falls in love and can’t — is having kind of a paradox, trying to tear himself away from Africa to actually have a life,” Paich explained in 2015.

He has admitted he never set foot on the continent before he penned this timeless tune.

The song’s slapdash approach to African geography has long drawn criticism, according to the Independent.

Among the song’s best-known lyrics is the line, “Sure as Kilimanjaro rises like Olympus above the Serengeti.”

However, rather than being an imposing feature of Serengeti National Park, Kilimanjaro is in fact located 488km away – which amounts to a hike that would last more than four days.

7. Lukather has a long-time rivalry with John Mellencamp

Steve Lukather has long criticised the singer John Mellencamp, whose best-selling tunes have earned him 13 Grammy nominations.

“I’m never gonna be in the Rock N Roll Hall of Fame,” Lukather noted in 2005.

Martin Overstrom

“… Because it’s a handful of a**-wipe Rolling Stone mentality critics who decide who gets to be in, and who doesn’t,” he said. “John Mellencamp?! What the f*** is that guy famous for?”

It comes as no surprise that this competitiveness hasn’t dwindled much at all over the decades.

In a 2015 interview with Classic Rock, Lukather described his long-time rival as a “douchebag.”

However, he went on to ask to the interviewer: “Please don’t make me sound like an a**hole. I just have a very colourful vocabulary.”

6. Band member Byron’s onstage antics drew heckling

Soul singer Jean-Michel Byron joined Toto in the late 80s, to record the album Past to Present 1977-1990.

While the band members had misgivings about Byron’s background in a different genre, the record label encouraged Toto to try working with him.

Byron was reportedly a diva, performing wild antics and dancing onstage. “We were mortified,” Lukather commented in 2013.

“Byron comes out and starts dancing around,” he recalled. “I’m looking at Jeff [Porcaro] with bulging eyes.”

“In rehearsal, Byron was just sitting there, but now he’s out doing this Michael Jackson on crack s***, with a golf glove on one hand, and my jaw was on the floor,” he added.

Byron’s contrasting stage presence reportedly drew heckling and obscene gestures from Toto’s devoted audiences.

5. A Toto tune was played on sweet potatoes

Toni Patanen, also known as Pupsi, has racked up over 8.6 million views on his YouTube cover of Toto’s Africa.

What sets his cover apart from the competition, however, is his unusual choice of edible instruments.

He carved a series of ocarinas, an ancient wind instrument, from sweet potatoes and squash for this tune.

The clip includes his intricate carving process as well as the unmistakeable tune by Toto.

In 2018, Weezer also covered Africa, reportedly as a result of an internet campaign by a 14-year-old girl.

She messaged Weezer constantly over Twitter with the simple request of this cover, which eventually included a cameo from Weird Al Yankovic.

4. The Ramones supported Toto on tour in 1978

Described as one of the most bizarre tour pairings of all time, The Ramones joined Toto for a 1978 tour.

They shared the stage for a single show in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in a vividly contrasting set.

Paste Magazine noted how stark the difference was between “the radical punk minimalism of The Ramones [and] the insufferable yacht rock of Toto”.

“We opened for Toto, who were so laidback that by the time they worked out what was going on, the Ramones had played their set and were off,” recalled Ramones tour manager Monte Melnick in 2016.

Ramones - Road to Ruin - CD – Rough Trade

When Toto followed The Ramones, the band apparently issued an apology to the audience for their choice of backstage companions.

Bobby Kimball reportedly described The Ramones as a “horrible band” to the bemused and unimpressed audience.

3. One Toto member left for the Cirque du Soleil

As a keyboardist, Greg Phillinganes began filling in for David Paich in 2005, and soon became a full-time band member.

He worked on Toto’s twelfth studio album Falling in Between, which was the last to feature Mike Porcaro.

However, when Toto reformed in 2010, Steve Porcaro returned to play keyboard, and Phillinganes left the band.

In 2011, he became a musical director for the Cirque de Soleil, working on Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour for its three year run.

As well as Toto, Phillinganes has an incredible list of stage credits to his name.

He’s played with Stevie Wonder, the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, Michael Jackson and Stevie Nicks, just to name a few.

2. Porcaro’s and Paich’s first band was called Rural Still Life

Jeff Porcaro and David Paich first became friends at Ulysses S. Grant High School in Los Angeles.

This institution has been described as a “rock and roll high school” by the LA Times.

Its list of musical alumni includes Mickey Dolenz, Jim Gordon and Kevin Dubrow as well as the three Porcaro brothers.

Both aspiring musicians, Porcaro and Paich started their first ever band as teenagers, and named it Rural Still Life.

They brought this group back to life in 1972, under the shortened name Still Life, and brought in Steve Lukather and Steve Porcaro to complete the line-up.

Steve Lukather was later promoted to be the band’s musical director, manager and live MC.

1. The band played on studio recordings with Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, and Boz Scaggs

Toto first formed in Los Angeles in 1977 – but its members had already earned their reputation in the music world through studio recordings.

Throughout the 70s, bands like Steely Dan, Seals and Crofts, Boz Scaggs and Sonny and Cher were clamouring for future Toto members to join them in the studio.

Kotivalo CC BY-SA 4.0

Toto keyboardist David Paich was the son of the session player Marty Paich, and he won fame by co-writing Scagg’s Silk Degrees album.

Bandmate David Hungate first worked with Jeff Porcaro and Paich when the trio played in Scaggs’ backing band.

They also collected Bobby Kimball, a singer from the rock band S.S. Fools – which disbanded after just one self-titled album.

Thanks to their rich history in session music, Toto swiftly secured their first album with Columbia Records. Everything from small beginnings!

Technological Advancements in LEDs and ZigBee are Making Lighting Smart

Smart lighting is an interesting way to get started with automating your home, office or factory. It gives you immense flexibility and control, and provides great savings too, although there are some security concerns that need to be addressed. Let us take a look at how wireless technologies and advancements in LEDs are boosting smart lighting applications -- Abhishek A. Mutha

In order to deal with the issues above, the connected lighting alliance (TCLA is an alliance founded by industry majors such as Toshiba, GE Lighting, OSRAM, Philips, Panasonic and Lutron to promote a unified voice to convey lighting industry requirements) aims to support open standards, thereby enabling global adoption and rise of wireless lighting solutions. The alliance also motivates the development of a smart lighting environment comprising component suppliers, solution providers, compliance testers and standard development organisations.

Security needs to become tighter
Smart lighting systems combine networking and software based intelligence to reap the energy-efficiency benefits of LED based light fixtures, but they can have security concerns too. Smart LED light bulbs, controlled remotely by mobile devices, can be vulnerable to hacking, unless powered by strong encryption algorithms.

Context Information Security recently discovered a security flaw in LIFX smart LED light. By posing as a new bulb joining the network, access could be gained to the master bulb to control every other light bulb connected to the network, thereby exposing the wireless network’s credentials. However, this task was not easy, probably due to the complexity of the device and all the reverse engineering it took to hack it. The company, LIFX, had acknowledged and identified the vulnerability and released a software update to fix the problem.

Needless to say, security needs to be highly prioritised, especially for devices getting onto the IoT arena, before organisations start to connect mission-critical devices and systems.

Improvements in LED technology
There have been key developments on the LED manufacturing side, such as superior materials, enhanced equipment and improved processes that have allowed the latest generation of LEDs to yield admirable light output, visual performance and space savings.

Advanced equipment. In the last decade or so, the equipment used to manufacture LED dyes has experienced significant enhancements. For all production processes, LED manufacturers were using class 10,000 clean room. Now, they have shifted to class 1000 clean room, which means that particles larger than half micrometre are not allowed in the space where LEDs are manufactured. Earlier, in class 10,000 clean room, up to 70 such particles could enter the space. Consequently, the structural efficiency of LEDs has increased to about 90 per cent, which, in turn, provides quality visual performance.

Enhanced processes. To provide better visual performance, red and blue dyes are fused in the same package coated with phosphor. This improvement in the manufacturing process creates a visually-appealing warm white light.

High-grade materials. Today, the wafers used to create LED dyes have doubled in size. Over a decade ago, seven-to-ten-centimetre wafers were used to manufacture LEDs, whereas today 15cm wafers are used that produce up to two times the volume of LEDs, resulting in cost-saving of about 30 to 50 per cent.

Innovative applications
The initial idea for smart lighting was remotely-controlling lighting, which includes dimming and switching it on/off. Today, there are a lot of other features being developed and incorporated. Bhaskar informs, “One such feature is occupancy-sensor-controlled lighting, where the entire room or certain section of it is lighted-up when a person enters and automatically turns off as the person exits the room.” Thawani adds, “Another feature, time-scheduled light control, helps gradually dimming the light as the day progresses. This can be achieved with the help of a microcontroller.”

Different lights in a room give different light-intensity outputs, according to the preferred mood-lighting presets. Jitin says, “Lights in a room change colour and intensity according to the beat of the music in that room, and the most interesting thing is that, all these are happening accurately with customisable preset recording or with a soft touch of your screen from your smartphone or tablet.”

Additionally, smart lighting can adjust from dark to light in a more gradual manner than conventional lighting. Jaiwin says, “This gives older eyes time to adjust and reduces undue strain. This saves energy and is safer to boot.”

All in all, smart lighting is very promising
Investing in intelligence rewards dividends. If you are considering a new installation or retrofit, developing a thorough understanding of smart lighting systems and opportunities they hold in store for greater operational and energy-efficiency is worthwhile. Lighting is usually the largest energy user in industrial, residential or commercial space, but is absolutely the easiest to address with smart lighting. It is time to get out your utility expenditure, start to assess your current lighting costs incurred every month and how far you can reduce that number with a smart lighting system.
