Improving Productivity Through Innovation
Spray coatings of ethylcellulose for sustained drug release on multi-particulate dosage forms is common in the pharmaceutical industry, but can be disadvantageous because of long process times, need for organic solvent capabilities, and particulate agglomeration.Using a rotor process technology, ethylcellulose can be applied to drug layered beads as a dry powder; enabling the user to achieve high levels of weight gain in a short period of time while still demonstrating sustained release.Information will be presented comparing performance and productivity to traditional solvent-based Wurster coating and aqueous-based Wurster coating.

Samsung Smartwatch In The Works

Samsung's wearable device will do many of the same things that a smartphone can.

Apple iWatch Vs. Smartwatches Past And Present
Apple iWatch Vs. Smartwatches Past And Present
(click image for larger view and for slideshow)
Samsung is working to design a new wearable computer, similar in appearance to a wristwatch, report both Reuters and Bloomberg. The device will be able to perform many of the functions for which smartphones are known. Globally, watches are a $60 billion business.

"We've been preparing the watch product for so long," said Lee Young Hee, executive VP of Samsung's mobile business, to Bloomberg. "We are working very hard to get ready for it. We are preparing products for the future, and the watch is definitely one of them."

Lee declined to provide any details about the device, nor did he say when such a product would go on sale.

In Reuters' report, an unnamed source said a watch is definitely in the works, but that source also declined to provide details.

[ Does a smartwatch make sense in the new world of smartphones and tablets? Read Apple iWatch: Readers Speak Out. ]

Samsung has offered a variety of smartwatch products since 1999, though none of them are quite so capable as modern smartwatches such as the Pebble or Metawatch.

Interest in smartwatches has surged in recent months with devices such as the Pebble reaching the market. Pebble is famous mostly because it used Kickstarter to raise funding for its development. The Pebble watch went on sale earlier this year.

The New York Times added kindling to the smartwatch fire when it reported in February that Apple is experimenting with a wearable device made of curved glass. Since then, Apple and Samsung have been in a virtual race to see which company can first deliver such a product to the market. Other reports about Apple's smartwatch suggested that as many as 100 engineers are working on the product. Apple's watch may reach the market as early as this year.

What none of the reports say is exactly how smartwatches will mimic smartphones. The current batch of devices offers features such as email, messaging and other alerts -- but they are based on an accompanying smartphone. Will the smartwatches stand on their own, or will they require a smartphone or tablet nearby for certain functions.

For example, Motorola's MOTOACTV sport watch needs a smartphone to push SMS messages and call notifications, as it doesn't have a cellular connection of its own.

With few real details about Apple and Samsung's wearable computers to cling to, gadget lovers will need to settle for alternatives like the Pebble.

40,000 jobs for native English speakers as teacher (Izmir)

40,000 jobs for native English speakers as teachers in Turkey

The Turkish Ministry of Education has enacted a real revolution after 75 years of ignorance and has decided to teach proper spoken English.

This is from the May 15 issue of Today’s Zaman: “The Ministry of Education recently decided that it would import 40,000 native English-speaking teachers to work with teachers in English language classes across Turkey starting from the next academic year. The project will last for four years and aims to improve English language education in the country. The classes are set to be held on weekends and over summer vacation. Both native English-speaking teachers and Turkish teachers of English will be present in the classroom.”

What does this have to do with Legal Corner?

I believe that the state is now interested in teaching proper English. These 40,000 future teachers will probably be citizens of other states as it would be difficult to find 40,000 native speakers who are also Turkish citizens and who would want to work as English teachers in the schools of the Turkish Ministry of Education. Since this is an official job offered to these teachers, the government will either use one of the mechanisms that is already in use for foreigners working for government projects or launch a temporary and new regulation that allows them to skip the work permit matter or provide these employees with easy access to work permits. In any case, these teachers will have some sort of work permit. The point I want to come to is that when the government is intending to put pressure on an industry and regulate it, the regulation starts with self-regulation first. Once everything is in order, it can start to put pressure on private entities to become legal and registered. This new attempt by the Ministry of Education in some way is an indication that foreign teachers working for language schools in Turkey will be regulated. I would recommend that those who work illegally take this opportunity to start applying pressure on their employees to become legal and obtain work permits to avoid complications.

Expert Discussion

Jerry Hickey is a pharmacist and radio personality and fills the esteemed role of Scientific Director and President of Invite Health. He has spent his professional life analyzing nutritional information and medical studies with the aim of creating the highest quality and most natural nutraceuticals for user’s maximum health benefits. Here, Jerry speaks about the benefits of Invite Health multivitamins…

Let’s talk about InVite for Men’s Multivitamin and the InVite for Women’s Multivitamin. If you look at the InVite for Women multivitamin, it’s really great for their skin and their hair, but also, they’re going to have a lot of energy and they’re going to have protection, too. There’s a lot of protection in a high quality multivitamin. We have people writing us a week after they start the supplement saying that already they’re feeling great energy. People tell us not the first day, but certainly by the second or the third day. People will contact us and say, “You know what? It’s unbelievable. It’s the first multivitamin I ever took where I feel energy.” There are no stimulants in it. It’s just a really well-made, intelligently combined multivitamin. So, when you get all these antioxidants and nutrients for the body, the body can take care of itself. It can heal and maintain and it recharges and you get more energetic. So, it’s not like a 10-hour energy shot. You know, one of those goofy drinks that people shouldn’t be drinking. It’s something that should be core to you as you’re reinstalling nutrients that the body uses to create energy. People are getting a lot of energy and vitality out of it, but there’s also reports that they feel calmer and happier, which makes sense. When you get the right nutrients for the brain it can do its housekeeping and maintenance and create the things it’s supposed to create like all the neurochemicals you need for sleep at night and waking up in the morning and thinking and remembering and planning. You can feel a lot happier. It calms down the brain. So, women are reporting, “I feel more energy, I feel calmer, I feel happier, I feel more focused, I feel more centered,” those are the kind of reports we’re getting.

First of all, we use amazing technology in the supplement. We always use the highest quality technology. And the liquid-filled capsules, we actually make robotically because we don’t want people with gloves on touching capsule after capsule after capsule and loading machines with their fingers which I’ve seen in other factories and I can’t believe it. It’s a little gross actually. Then, they scratch their nose and then they go back and they’re touching the capsules again. I don’t use those factories. We actually use robotic technology to create this. There’s no human hand that touches this capsule. It’s unbelievable. All the liquids are mixed together in an oxygen-free room. The oxygen is pushed out of the room. Then, the robot shoots the liquid into the capsule and it seals the capsule with a spray of fine water, and that capsule is made of vegetable. It has a tight weave that keeps those ingredients clean and fresh. And that’s Pfizer-created technology. It improves the absorption of these very important nutrients for the eyes and the brain and the breast tissue and your bones.

We actually study the technology with Cornell and the research shows that this technology is superb for improving absorption. We use a number of ingredients for these multi’s that had been used in human clinical trials that have been published in medical journals. For instance, the CoQ10 we use is from Kaneka and has been used in human clinical trials for heart health and for exercise. The lycopene we use has been used in studies for skin, for protecting the skin from the sun and wrinkling. Lycopene is a very powerful agent for that by the way, for protecting the heart by lowering inflammation, in the heart and arteries as a powerful antioxidant and protecting the men’s prostate. Lutein is in there as well which is very good for the skin. It has some effect in the breasts. It has a magnificent effect in the men’s prostate. The luteins in there have been used in eye studies and the Tocomin tocotrienols havebeen used in multiple human clinical trials. The Tocomin tocotrienols that we use in the multivitamins has been in over 50 human clinical trials, trials with the hair follicle, trials with the brain, trials with the carotid arteries, keeping the arteries in the neck clean, trials of the skin, trials of helping maintain healthy cholesterol, as an antioxidant in the vascular system…I mean, on and on and on and on. So, there are great ingredients in this multi. Everything we use is high quality. There’s nothing we skimp on. Even the things used to fill the capsule are extremely high quality, very pure.

Let me give you an explanation. I’m going to talk about jewelry as an explanation; you could go to a jewelry store and get a cheap 18-carat gold necklace and you could go to another jewelry store and it will cost you 20% more. How come? It’s because there’s a difference in the 18-carat gold. Solid gold I believe is 24 carat. So, when they make an 18-carat piece of gold jewelry, they have to add something to it. So, a lot of times, they’ll use something cheap like nickel. Now, what’s the problem with that? It looks the same; it looks like the other gold, so what’s the problem? You can’t fix that one. If you fix it, it could get damaged. So, if you have to shorten the necklace or something, it could get damaged. Whereas the other jewelry store, instead of mixing it with nickel, they mix that gold with silver. So, that could be worked again and again and again, so that jewelry is much higher quality jewelry. It’s the same with supplements. It’s not just what’s on the label. You can’t just say lycopene because synthetic lycopene exists. It has to be a natural lycopene. The studies show that the synthetic lycopene doesn’t stabilize your cholesterol. In other words, cholesterol can go bad, it can go rancid. Any fat can. When they give people synthetic lycopene, it doesn’t stabilize the cholesterol; the cholesterol oxidizes. That’s very bad for your heart and your arteries and your brain. The natural lycopene, or tomato oleoresin, works just like eating tomato sauce; they both work, natural tomato sauce rich in lycopene, the red stuff.

So, there’s a difference in the characteristics and the quality and the abilities of each ingredient to protect you. We only use the highest quality ingredients. But then, we say, “Hey, we had to use something to hold the tablet together or we had to use something to fill up the capsule, so the capsule doesn’t squash when we manufacture it.” There are no genetically modified oils or anything. We don’t use any garbage like that. We don’t get the ingredients from places you don’t want the ingredients from, and we get it from really high quality places like the United States and Switzerland and France and Brazil and Australia and Canada and New Zealand. Even the capsule itself, we use the highest quality, and then, we use the highest quality technology. Everything that’s in these multis is high quality; there’s no cutting corners. My first wife who was smart enough to throw me out the door because I’m a workaholic wanted to design her cabinets for the kitchen. So, I said to the cabinet guy, who happened to be young and inexperienced, “Listen, can you give me a discount?” So, the guy agrees, and then puts in inferior knobs and hinges and stuff. What good was that? I didn't save any money. He gave me a crappy cabinet. We don’t do that. If you go out and you get cheap stuff…well, there’s a reason why it’s cheap.

Big things are happening with multivitamins in the news. There was a study, very recently, just published actually. It said if you take a multivitamin, it improves your mood and your energy levels. This is a study from the University of Melbourne and Swinburne University of Technology. They're both in Australia and we've read many studies over the past three or four years from these two universities. They found when people took a high potency multivitamin and mineral with the inclusion of anti-oxidants, they had a better mood and they had better energy levels. That's very plausible. When you gather all your vitamins and your minerals, everything starts to work better, which can improve your energy. There are things in the multivitamin, like vitamin D and like B vitamins that are needed for energy. And vitamin E and vitamin C that protect physical health. Your physical strength, it doesn't deteriorate over time. But then when you add the anti-oxidants, that calms everything down. When you calm down free radicals in the brain, you're generally happier. When you had a lot of free radicals in the brain and the brain is inflamed, nothing is working properly and you become depressed, you become sad, you become anxious, you become nervous, you become confused. I mean, there's a lot of research showing this now. One of the ways that doctors have to start looking out for treating depression, and it doesn't matter if it's bipolar depression or it's depression that you see coming on with aging, is to give anti-oxidants. When you give anti-oxidants, you calm down part of the storm. It's not the total answer, but it's a big part of the answer. You calm down that storm of free radical production in the brain, the antidotes to free radicals, the anti-oxidants and multivitamins, and the brain starts to do better and it can really help improve depression. Listen, taking a walk, taking vitamin D, taking fish oils, taking a multivitamin, they could all be very helpful with depression, there's no two ways about it because for the brain to work properly, you need the mineral magnesium, you need vitamin D, you need vitamin E, you need vitamin C, you need iron and zinc and copper and manganese. You need all the B vitamins for the brain to work properly. And guess what? That's in the multivitamin. Here is an article that came out recently. I tell you, there's one thing I insist I do every morning, I take a multivitamin. Every morning. There are certain things I don't leave the house without doing. I have my schedule, like I'll take my ALCAR with ALA an hour before breakfast along with some Biotin, along with a few other things. Then with my breakfast, I'm taking my green coffee bean with lychee. I'm taking my Phosphatidylserine, my Krill oil, my Ubiquinol, my Bio-Curcumin. So, I have my schedule of how to do these things appropriately. But every morning with my breakfast, I take my multivitamin. Here's a great article on multivitamins; the cheapest health insurance a person will ever buy. I believe this a million percent. Multivitamins are connected to a lower risk of colon cancer and cancer in general, enough to save millions of lives worldwide. A lower risk of stroke and heart attack and high blood pressure in women and in men. A lower risk of diabetes. More energy, less depression. I mean, just on and on, really good stuff. Better immune function. If you're a nutritionist, go to NutraIngredientsUSA.com, because it will give you an indication of what studies to look at. It will help you find good studies. So, I say the benefits of a daily multivitamin from filling nutrient gaps to a potential reduction in cancer risk often dominate headlines.

First up, we have the study from JAMA. JAMA is the Journal of the American Medical Association that reported that a daily multivitamin may reduce risk of cancer by a modest to 8 percent. But don't let that figure fool you. You have to figure out how many people actually get cancer. Just like you have to figure out how many people get heart disease or breast cancer. For instance, if vitamin D, let's just make believe, or green tea cut the risk of breast cancer by 20 percent, that would be tens and thousands of women that would never have breast cancer.

So in the JAMA study, simply using a multivitamin reduced the risk of cancer by a modest of 8 percent. But is that really modest? No, it's not. It's actually huge. Because Professor Balz Frei, he's from the Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University, he said that an 8 percent drop in overall cancer rate is not small at all. He said, “Given that more than one, 1.6 million. One million six hundred thousand new cancer cases are diagnosed in the United States each year, this translates into about 130,000 cancers prevented every year, along with all the healthcare cost and human suffering and loss of life.” So, think about that. Simply using a multivitamin, NBC and CBS and MSNBC and CNN, they all said, “Oh, 8 percent drop in risk of cancer if you use a multivitamin”, it didn't sound like anything. But yet, that would translate to 1.6 million, one million six hundred thousand fewer cases of cancer in the United States each year. How many lives would that save? It's exciting. A hundred and thirty thousand fewer cancers diagnosed in the United States each year simply by using a multivitamin. That's without drinking green tea and exercising. Now, if you add those, imagine how much better that would be? That means that over the course of a decade, it would be one million three thousand fewer cases of cancer. I bet you that 300, 400,000 deaths over the course of 10 years could be prevented, simply by using a multivitamin. That's huge. And then if you look at the study on being less depressed and great energy levels, right there, it's worth it for using a multivitamin. Not to mention that multivitamins have been shown to protect your memory as you age, improving memory in the elderly, improving memory in middle aged men and middle aged women, improving memory in kids in the school. All of these have come out of research in the last year with multivitamins. Just, unbelievable research.

The Ultimate Multivitamin

We specially formulate InVite Multis for Men, Women, and Children.

Our Performance Multi is specially formulated for those with higher nutrient requirements such as athletes, as well as for those in demand of extra energy, such as the elderly.

Multiple vitamins and mineral supplementations are important for your overall health for several reasons. They supplement your body with its specific required nutrient levels, particularly in cases of low fruit and vegetable consumption, poor diet, and increased nutritional demands for athletes. They help keep your general health and well-being intact and functioning properly. High-potency multiple vitamin and mineral formulas are capable of reversing nutrient deficiencies in the body, as well as alleviating the symptoms associated with common nutrient deficiencies. There are a number of qualified health claims that have been made about the ingredients in multivitamin and mineral formulations, provided that all of the applicable FDA requirements have been met – always look for multivitamin and mineral formulas that contain more than 20% of the daily value (DV) per serving of the following beneficial nutrients:

Folic Acid. This nutrient is particularly important for women’s health. Folic Acid reduces the risk of neural tube defects, and supplementing with Folic Acid rather than consuming it through food is more effective. Dietary supplements that contain at least 0.8 mg of Folic Acid are more effective in reducing the risk of neural tube defects than foods with Folic Acid in a lower amount (the FDA does not endorse this claim). Public health authorities recommend that women consume 0.4mg of Folic Acid daily from dietary supplements, fortified foods, or both in order to reduce the risk of neural tube defects. The InVite Multivitamin for Women contains 400mc (100% DV) of Folic Acid per 2 tablet serving size.

B-Vitamins. Supplements containing Vitamins B6, B12 and/or Folic Acid reduce the risk of vascular diseases that involve your arteries, veins, and lymph vessels, as well as blood disorders that affect circulation. As part of a well-balanced diet that is low in saturated fat and cholesterol, Folic Acid along with Vitamins B6 and B12 may help reduce the risk of vascular disease. The FDA evaluated the above claim and found that, although it is known that a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol does reduce the risk of heart disease and other vascular diseases, the evidence to support the advantage of Folic Acid and B-Vitamins for vascular disease is inconclusive. The line of InVite Multivitamins for Men and Women, as well as the Performance Multivitamin, contain 50mg (2500% DV) of Vitamin B6, 100mcg (100% DV) of Vitamin B12, and 400mcg (100% DV) of Folic Acid per serving.

Antioxidants. Vitamins with high levels of antioxidants, such as Vitamin E and Vitamin C, may reduce the risk of certain forms of cancer. Some scientific evidence suggests this is true, however, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and inconclusive. Our line of InVite Multivitamins for Men and Women, as well as the Performance Multivitamin, contain 200mg (333% DV) of Vitamin C.

Selenium. This nutrient may have the ability to produce anti-carcinogenic effects in the body, possibly reducing the risk of certain cancers. Some scientific evidence suggests that consumption of selenium may have anti-carcinogenic benefits in the body; however, the FDA has determined that this evidence is limited and inconclusive. The InVite Multi for Men contains 200 mcg (285% DV) of selenium.

The specific levels of essential vitamins and minerals in multivitamin formulas are based on the Reference Dietary Intake (RDI). These levels were established in 1968 for each nutrient, and are considered to be sufficient to meet the basic nutritional requirements of 97–98% of healthy individuals in every demographic of the United States. The vitamin and mineral levels stated in the RDI are currently regulated by the Food and Drug Administration.

Multivitamin and mineral supplements are designed to have excellent health benefits for up to 98% of the American population. There may be additional benefits for certain at-risk populations, specifically those with nutritional deficiencies, those with poor diets, those who take certain medications, older men and women, and pregnant women.

The entire regimen of daily invite health vitamin supplements have been extremely helpful maintaining optimum health.

Indoor Disc Golf Course

Anthony Sotillo
Anthony Sotillo 0 Comments
4 Signatures Goal: 1,000

Dear Fellow Disc Golf Fanatics, As we all know, Austin weather can a bit unpredictable. This petition is created to hopefully gain recognition for building/designing an INDOOR DISC GOLF COURSE for those rainy or cold days. We have all been there when the itch comes around to fling some disc, but the weather decides otherwise. If you're tired of letting mother nature dictate your disc golf addiction then please gather your friends and family to to sign this petition and get the word out. This is only a small step, but I believe with enough signatures we can persuade the city or county to take action. One idea that I have considered is meeting with the Indoor Soccer Complex at Cedar park or any other indoor facility and possibly striking a compromised deal with them(i'm sure a small fee would be involved). Sure you won't have your 400ft drives, but with some ingenuity, I'm positive we can create an equally satisfying course. Again, this is a very small step in a mile, but I strongly believe the city of Austin and all its disc golf fans can bring this dream to life! Once this petition reaches a 1,000 signatures, it will be professionally presented to any possible investor. Your Fellow Disc Golfer, Anthony Sotillo

Three Irish companies selected in the latest round of Horizon 2020 SME Instrument

Three Irish companies – Aperilink Ltd (Dublin),DiaNia Technologies Ltd (Galway) and IRIS Advanced Engineering Ltd (Kerry) – have been selected in the latest round of Horizon 2020 SME Instrument (Phase 1) to receive €50,000 each for their innovative ideas. The companies will use the money to finance feasibility studies and can also request up to three days of business coaching.

This brings to 30 the total number of Irish SMEs funded so far under the SME Instrument of Horizon 2020 (25 Phase 1 receiving €50.000 each and five Phase 2 receiving up to €2.5 million each).

Ireland top of the class with 19% success rate in 2014 for winning funding under the SME Instrument of Horizon 2020, the EU’s research and innovation funding programme.

Graph showing success rate of Irish SMEs
Sinead Kenny, co-founder of DiaNia Technologies Ltd in Galway which was set up in 2013 explains “We are delighted to have been selected for funding under the EU’s SME Instrument for our project on Advanced Extrusion Technologies for use in Catheter Based Medical Devices.

ExtruLubTM is an innovative, disruptive extrusion technology with the ability to change the surface of a catheter without affecting core device properties, thereby leading to cost containment for the manufacturer and profile reduction of the end product.  As well as the €50.000, which will help our company to commercialise this, our initial product offering, our selection by the EU also gives us access to a network of truly great mentors whom we look forward to engaging with.

It’s a great boost to our confidence to have been selected from amongst 1,569 other SMEs from right across Europe – we are one of 161 which were selected in this round and only one of three from Ireland!  Once we had our ideas and vision clearly set out we set about applying to Horizon 2020.  It was a very straight forward application we submitted our application in March 2015 and heard the good news last week.”

The three projects which have received funding today are:

  • Aperilink Ltd in Dublin
    Topologically dynamic scaled out data centre networks for energy efficiency and management (A-STREAM)
  • DiaNia Technologies Ltd in Galway
    Commercialisation of Advanced Extrusion Technologies Delivering Disruptive Innovation for the Next Generation of Catheter Based Medical Devices (ExtruLub) Website:
  • IRIS Advanced Engineering Ltd in Kerry
    An IR-spectroscopy-based platform for the rapid integration and customisation of affordable, real-time monitoring solutions for the food and pharmaceutical industry (VISUM)

A2PBEER Retrofit – European Application Development Project

Our team undertook this cross-European application development project with a brief to provide a web portal for building owners to estimate the energy use of their building and get recommendations on how to improve the buildings energy efficiency.

An existing WordPress based website was being used for the company’s main website so we decided to use the WordPress API as a codebase for developing this database-driven project.

A2PBEER Application Development

Among other elements of this project was the following functionality

  • A membership site with registration and login functions
  • Administration for site owners to update content and update the database
  • Ability for building owners to completely define their building characteristics and get immediate recommendations for improving their buildings energy efficiency.
  • A searchable database of technologies that could be
    1. Searched and filtered by category
    2. Auto-filtered for the building owner based on their building characteristics
  • A stakeholders feature allowing building owners to define the stakeholders in the system and assign a relevance score to that stakeholder
  • A standards feature where building owners can compare the energy performance of their building compared to their recommended national standards
  • Integrated charting system completed using the HighCharts JavaScript charting system

Our clients were very happy with the functionality and ease of use of this system. Minimal training was required due to the clear interface design and easy pathway through the project.

screenshot-retrofit a2pbeer eu 2015-10-21 12-36-40

The Building Characteristics section allows users to define the exact spec of their building. The system then provides recommendations on improving the energy efficiency.

screenshot-retrofit a2pbeer eu 2015-10-21 12-37-43

The technology recommendations are provided on-screen and as a customised PDF download .

screenshot-retrofit a2pbeer eu 2015-10-21 12-38-29

We used the JavaScript charting system “High Charts” for creating interactive on-screen charts.

screenshot-retrofit a2pbeer eu 2015-10-21 12-41-46

This customise stakeholder graph was created with a combination of High Charts and our custom code.

"I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"

I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!

"With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"

I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg

"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."

I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

The Rolling Stones, ‘Gimme Shelter’

I wrote a few weeks ago (SoTW 46, James Taylor’s ‘Never Die Young’) that by a bizarre alignment of the stars (and with the generous support of Facebook), my three college buddies and I have renewed contact after 40 years. The four of us spent the years 1968-1970 together. I suppose all old fogies think their Day was special. But it seems pretty obvious and indisputable to me that those years of flower power, Sgt Pepper, and Woodstock hold an interest above and beyond the norm. Last year I gave a lecture to a group of very bright undergrads (on the other side of the world from where the aforementioned events took place) about those times and their music, and the degree of the kids’ expertise was really quite outstanding. They’ve memorized the Jimi Hendrix canon, pored over the Woodstock outtakes films, purchased and re-mastered The Beatles Remastered. Colorful, heady, memorable times, those late ’60s.

But if we’re going to be truthful, all this nostalgia has its ugly underbelly. The Woodstock nation didn’t come into being spontaneously. It was fueled, yes, by babyboomers moving out of the house and into the realms of burgeoning sexual freedom, self-exploration, and idealism. But there was one unsypathetic devil lurking behind all those jingle-jangle mornings—The Draft.

There was a war going on, in Vietnam, and Richard Nixon was trying to get me to go over there and get myself killed. Here, let’s try to build a scaffolding of pertinent facts.

Throughout 1969, American soldiers were being killed in Vietnam at a rate of 223 a week. Thirty-two soldiers a day. 53% of Americans approved of Nixon’s handling of the war, 30% disapproved. My friends and I were being pursued by the draft to join those figures. Guess what? We were among the unbathed minority who disapproved of the war.

In August, 1969, half a million hippies showed up at Woodstock, seemingly out of nowhere, for 3 days of peace and love and music.

In December, 1969, promoters organized an attempt at a free ‘Woodstock West’ at the Altamont Racetrack in northern California, with The Rolling Stones as headliners. Hell’s Angels were right in front of the stage – according to most versions hired to enforce order, an oxymoronic plan if there ever was one. There was a lot of scuffling and fighting, reaching its peak during the Stones’ set when one Meredith Hunter was stabbed to death. He may have been brandishing a gun. Or not. But it was one ugly scene, documented in the movie Gimme Shelter.

On April 30, 1970, Nixon announced the invasion of Cambodia. Protest strikes broke out on campuses across the country. The strikes were mostly non-violent, and included marches, disruption of classes, and sit-ins in college administration buildings. On May 4 – 40 years ago this week – at Kent State University in northern Ohio, National Guard troops opened fire on protesting students, killing four and wounding 9 others. A week later, two more students were shot and killed at Jackson State College in Mississippi. A wave of violent and non-violent protests swept the country, involving four million students closing more than 450 colleges and sparking marches of 100,000 in Washington and 150,000 in San Francisco. (Thanks for the picture above of the march to my buddie Rod Pennington.)

It has never been conclusively determined if the Guardsmen fired on orders or spontaneously out of frustration.

The Kent State massacre was a trauma for us. Our university (in southern Ohio) was shut down immediately, students running as fast and as far as they could. I was reminded of the depth and the extent of the trauma by this article which I stumbled across recently, relating that universities are now hosting belated graduation ceremonies for the Class of ’70. Well, that’s my class, but I won’t be attending. I hardly remember the graduation ceremony, only that the university was opened especially for that event just for the day, probably sometime in June or July. But by then, I was already packing for a country where I felt wanted.

My most vivid memory of the events is, of course, musical. Not, as you might expect, Neil Young’s song ‘Ohio’, which was composed immediately and released only weeks after the events. My memory came in the form of what I believe was a ‘musical hallucination.’ Oliver Sacks devotes an entire long chapter to this phenomenon in his fine book Musicophilia. He asks a patient why she spoke of musical “hallucinations” rather than musical “imagery.” “They are completely unlike each other! They are as different as thinking of music and actually hearing it,” she answered.

It was the morning after the shootings. I was walking onto campus from my nearby apartment, going towards the administration building to see if it was still being occupied by the protestors. But the campus was abandoned, and my mind was a turmoil of outrage, shock and fear. That’s when I heard the opening bars of the Stones’ ‘Gimme Shelter‘.

It’s a remarkable song, demonic, apocalyptic, emblematic of all the evil and ugliness embodied in the events described above.

Oh, a storm is threatening my very life today; If I don’t get some shelter, oh yeah, I’m gonna fade away

War, children, it’s just a shot away, it’s just a shot away…Love, sister, it’s just a kiss away, It’s just a kiss away

The song opens the Stones album “Let It Bleed”, released in November, 1969. It was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards together. According to Jagger, “The use of the female voice was the producer’s idea. It would be one of those moments along the lines of ‘I hear a girl on this track – get one on the phone.'” The girl they found was a professional backup singer, Merry Clayton (who at 15 had sung the original version of ‘The Shoop Shoop Song [It’s in His Kiss], which became a hit by Betty Everett and Cher. She had sung on records by Elvis Presley, Burt Bacharach, Tom Jones, Joe Cocker and Carole King. She was one of Ray Charles’ Raelets (“because you have to let Ray…”).  Merry was 21 at the recording of ‘Gimme Shelter’.

Jagger plays harmonica on it, Nicky Hopkins piano. Brian Jones was already gone. There’s an unreleased version with Richards singing lead. And here’s the song as performed at Altamont. But it’s the end-of-the-world album version that is #38 in Rolling Stone magazine’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. It shows up everywhere, from The Simpsons to a video game to three Scorcese Mafia movies to That 70s Show to American Idol.

What’s the song’s connection to the shootings at Kent State? None, really. Other than I actually heard it, in the Aftermath of the event. And because it’s become universally accepted in the minds of me and my friends and the entire Woodstock nation as emblematic of that terrible time when American soldiers killed American citizens.

I remember those days only from newspaper articles and was quite happy that I was already far away from those events and from an America that I did not recongnize.

An excellent live version from the Paradiso in Amsterdam, mid 1990’s can be found here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2HClhoV2Pd4

Played down tempo reflecting the junkie aesthetic of the lyrics. Mick strutting, Keith and that new guy playing, Charlie impassive as ever and Bill Wyman standing in the shadows. Plus a great performance from the female backup singer.
