With a team of over 3,000, each of us is energised by the challenge a seemingly inscrutable problem presents. Our distinctiveness lies in our refusal to accept a problem at face value - we draw on the depth of our shared insight to ask the right questions, and it’s these questions that uncover answers - answers with impact.

We are committed to collaboration

Our role is to unlock potential for growth and innovation. We believe this requires real collaboration ? with our own networks and with our clients.

We provide variety regarding the career options available to you, assisting you to take career steps that fit your skills, talents and aspirations, and providing an environment where those choices can be discussed in meaningful and constructive career conversations.

The Consulting Career Paths are:

Consulting pathway ? pathway based around developing a broad consulting skillset alongside building expertise in a specific domain

Consulting Solutions pathway ? pathway where there is greater focus on building skills and deep expertise in a specific domain. Practitioners have a narrow focus, determined by their SME and type of contribution made

Consulting Services pathway ? pathway for people whose career is built around the delivery of managed services to clients (either internal or external)

Conti Guitars

Dr. Michael Yollick – Scarborough, ON, Canada

I received the guitar on Wednesday as promised. I was completely blown away by its appearance. I did not anticipate that a blonde guitar would have the darker brown highlights on the neck. Also the inlay fret markers are stunning and really light up in bright light. The neck is fantastic. I now think I can keep up with Robert with his amazing runs on the guitar. The action is incredible. I have rock guitar, a Music Man Axis Sport which is known for their necks and it is great but I can play even faster and with more control on the Conti guitar. I have an old fender concert tube amp which I had to add a Tech 21NYc and Digitec digital delay to to warm my other guitars. But with the Conti i just went straight into the clean channel and I am in Archtop heaven. I really think that with this instrument I will improve as a guitar player. As I may have mentioned before I am 64 years old and I play mainly to ward off senility while my wife likes to do crossword puzzles.

I also have to thank you for all the other learning materials you have sent me and for the tuner. Your company has always exceeded my expectations which is something I strive to do for my patients and I know this cannot be done without an incredible amount of effort and a real sincere concern for the customer, as well as the bottom line of the company. So In closing please tell Robert how pleased I am with this guitar and the way I have been treated by your company.

Recipe courtesy of Michael Chiarello
Episode: Game Night!
4 hr
40 min
2 hr 45 min
35 min
40 fritters

  • 1/4 cup warm water
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 envelope (1 1/8 teaspoon) active dry yeast
  • 1 pound russet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch cubes
  • Cold water
  • 1 tablespoon plus 2 teaspoons sea salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh sage leaves
  • 2 teaspoons freshly grated lemon zest
  • 1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 4 to 6 cups peanut oil, for deep-frying

To make the sponge: In a small bowl, combine the water, flour and yeast. Mix well and set aside in a warm place until yeasty-smelling and covered in very small bubbles, about 45 minutes.

In a medium saucepan, cover the potatoes with cold water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, add 1 tablespoon of sea salt. Reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook until the potatoes are tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and mash the potatoes with a fork. Allow them to cool.

In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil until thoroughly combined. In a bowl, combine cooled potatoes with the sponge, flour, sage, lemon zest, pepper, and 2 teaspoons of salt. Mix to evenly distribute the ingredients. Add the egg mixture to potato mixture, and stir until thoroughly combined. Use a rubber spatula to scrape down the sides of the bowl. You should have a thick, sticky batter. Add a bit more flour, if needed. Cover the bowl with a towel and set aside in a warm place to rise until doubled in size, for 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

Heat the oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F.

Scoop 1 tablespoon of the risen batter at a time, and use another spoon to scrape it into the hot oil. Don't crowd the fryer. Fry fritters until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes, turning them over occasionally. Drain the fritters on paper towels to absorb any excess oil. Sprinkle with sat and serve warm.

Cook's Note

Entertaining Tip: You can fry up a couple of batches of these an hour before your guests arrive and simply heat them again in a 300F oven before serving. Or keep warm in a 250F oven after making them. The fritters are great alone but they are equally great with a couple of dipping sauces.

About Our Practice

In 1976, our practice was established with the goal of providing quality medical care to members of all ages in our surrounding communities. Our highly skilled physicians have a passion for family medicine and serving patients from newborns to the elderly. In our efforts to provide a wide variety of resources for each of our patients we have diagnostic testing, laboratory services, radiology, EKG, hearing testing, and pulmonary function testing all on site.

Our Mission

Our pledge is to nurture the well-being of the individuals and families that we serve. We are dedicated to the preservation of health, the diagnosis of disease, the facilitation of healing, and the relief of suffering. Our mission is to assist our patients in the fulfillment of God’s purpose in their lives.

Practice Overview

Prescription Policies and Information

Your physician will generally prescribe your long term medication in sufficient quantity to cover you until the time of your next appointment.  Since many patients obtain their prescription medication from a mail order service, follow up visits should be scheduled early enough to give you time to get your medication renewed prior to running out. Some prescription benefit companies require certain non generic medication to be pre authorized which may delay the timeliness in getting your medication to you. We will work with them to provide the necessary medical information sufficient to get the prescription approved. We cannot guarantee that your medication will be approved by your insurance company. In the event you run out of medication prior to your next visit and require a short term prescription you may be charged for the renewal at the discretion of the physician. We do not accept faxed prescription requests from pharmacies. We have a prescription refill option available through our telephone system.

Staying Healthy At Work

With cold and flu season around the corner, it's important to do what you can to stay healthy this year. By thinking ahead and taking small precautions, you can significantly reduce your odds of becoming sick and spreading it to others. Because illnesses are commonly caught and spread in workplace environments, we have an article that can help you find ways to stay healthy at work.

SameDay Care Centers

Our SameDay Centers deliver excellent care that’s a cut above the typical Emergency Room and Urgent Care experience, at a significantly lower cost. By choosing one of our SameDay Centers, you can be seen after traditional hours or when your regular physician is unable to see you that same day.

After-Hours Support Center - (614) 865-3125

If you are a COPC patient, the After-Hours Support Center is available to help you find the care you need. When you call our After-Hours Support Center, a Nurse Practitioner on staff will address your concerns and guide you in the right direction. Mondays - Fridays from 4:00 pm to 11:00 pm and weekends from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, our nurses can help you schedule appointments with your COPC physician, refer you to a SameDay Center, and help you with prescription refills until you can reach your COPC physician’s office directly (limited to small quantities of your current medications only.)

A luxury global affairs and lifestyle magazine is blaming Brexit for moving its printing operation from Cornwall to Germany.

Monocle says it produces 155,000 copies of its monthly magazine at Walstead Roche (formerly Wyndeham Roche) on Victoria Business Park, Roche, near St Austell. It will now be printed by Neef & Stumme in Wittingen from the April issue.

The magazine’s chairman and editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé said the move was forced because of fears about a no-deal Brexit and potential disruptions to operations in Cornwall.

He told the Bloomberg news site: “There just isn’t much of a plan in this country. People are like, ‘Oh well, it might work, let’s see what happens’ and we can’t afford to do that. We wanted to make sure we felt confident we had a plan.”

The magazine has been printed at Walstead Roche for around five years and is known for its use of special papers and binding techniques.

International lifestyle magazine Monocle is moving print production from Cornwall to Germany in light of Brexit

According to its latest ABC figures the title has a circulation of 84,368 of which 72,268 copies go to readers outside the UK and Ireland. The actual print run is around 120,000.

Monocle’s business, which also includes cafés in London, Zurich and Tokyo, a 24-hour radio station and a retail division that sells up-market travel guides and apparel, employs a range of nationalities at its 60-strong bureau in London.

Walstead Group chief executive Paul Utting said he was deeply disappointed with the surprise decision and disagreed with Brûlé’s assertions.

He told Print Week website: “In general I would agree that the country is insufficiently prepared for Brexit and for a no-deal Brexit in particular. However, it is far too much of a generalisation to say that ‘…people are like oh well it might work, let’s see what happens….’

“This may be the view of the hard Brexit element of the Conservative party but it is not the view of businesses up and down the country who are doing everything they can to minimise disruption to supply chains and to enable them to continue to serve customers after we have left the European Union.”

A spokesman for Walstead Roche, which prints around 200 international titles including Vogue and Tatler, told Cornwall Live: “I can’t comment on the Brexit aspect but I can say the loss of this one title won’t have an impact on our business or employment. We have new work coming in which will replace it.”

Boardmasters has revealed the mighty Foals as the Sunday headliner for this year’s festival, along with another wave of huge acts including Plan B, Jax Jones + Martin Solveig, Bugzy Malone, Mabel and Slaves.

Sleaford Mods, Easy Life, Sea Girls, Caravana Sun, Claude VonStroke, House Gospel Choir and many more will join already announced Saturday headliner Florence + The Machine.

Other acts previously announced include Giggs, Dizzee Rascal, Jorja Smith, Franz Ferdinand, DJ EZ, Wilkinson B2B Sub Focus, Idles, Michael Franti & Spearhead and Ocean Wisdom.

Boardmasters takes place on Wednesday, August 7, to Sunday, August 11, across two stunning sites, Fistral Beach, Newquay, and Watergate Bay. Tickets are on sale NOW from £30 deposit.

Edwin Congreave and Yannis Philippakis of Foals, who return to Cornwall two years after their storming Eden Sessions set

Foals are back, making their hugely anticipated return this year. Fronted by Yannis Philippakis, Foals first burst onto the scene in 2008 with Antidotes, which cemented them as a musical tour de force. Now, after a four-year hiatus, Foals make an entrance, releasing their massive single Exits last month with not one but two albums due this year.

Festivalgoers will be treated to an electrifying headline set, as Foals are set to epically close Boardmasters 2019.

Boardmasters has also revealed more than 60 more acts in this next wave for the 2019 festival. Two of the biggest names in house music Jax Jones & Martin Solveig will join forces for what’s sure to be an unmissable set at Watergate Bay.

Mabel, one of the UK’s most refreshing young musical role models, is riding the wave to Boardmasters this summer, set to bring her infectious pop vocals, with songs that explore everything from female independence and the challenges of modern relationships to growing into your own skin.

Manchester’s most exciting grime export, Bugzy Malone, will show off his huge radio hits at this year’s Boardmasters, along with self-confessed neo-punk band Slaves.

Jason Williamson of Sleaford Mods, who will make their first appearance in Cornwall

1990s two-step heroes Artful Dodger will pull in the sways with their garage waves while British rap supremo hitmaker Plan B, Razorlight and Sleaford Mods also join the line-up, alongside Irish vocal powerhouse Dermot Kennedy and House Gospel Choir who have collaborated with the likes of MNEK, Stormzy and Annie Mac.

BRITs Critics Choice winner Sam Fender, Brighton’s freshest young export Grace Carter and homegrown Cornish electro bedroom beats Hockeysmith are all added to the line-up.

Summer rays are sure to shine through Caravana Sun’s bouncy pop and dreamy sounds, while 2019 breakthrough band Easy Life promise to delight with their biggest singles including Nightmares and energetic indie band Sea Girls, nominated for BBC’s Sound of 2019, will feel at home by the sea at Watergate Bay, as will Cornwall’s very own Bailey Tomkinson.

SOAK, hailing from Northern Ireland, joins the Boardmasters bill, having recently released single Knock Me Off My Feet, as well as folk sensation Gabrielle Aplin, African funk and disco collective Ibibio Sound Machine, hot off the back of the release of self-titled debut album The Magic Gang, British band The Hunna, ’90s soul-inspired Jvck Jones, Petty Love songstress Jaz Karis and the dreamy Rachel Chinouriri.

World-renowned DJs will bring the hottest beats to Cornwall this August. Brooklyn’s own dance-punk enthusiast, Bodega, will bring their deep beats, along with Detriot’s DJ extraordinaire ClaudeVon Stroke and one of the founders of the house music movement Derrick Carter plus, house producer James Hype, who shot to fame for his Hotline Bling remix.

Jax Jones and Mabel will both be performing at this year's Boardmasters

Other huge dance acts include electro heavyweight Dennis Ferrer, Leeds electronic duo Prospa, house vocalist Karen Harding, Feel My Needs hitmaker Weiss, Connecticut’s own DJ Jonezy, Defected Records’ Melé and, influenced by a heady fusion funk-soul-disco, DJ Proof.

In a huge next wave of acts for Boardmasters 2019, other acts added today include Barely Legal, The Stalks, Ross From Friends, Problem Central, Fin Henderson, Laurel, Mella Dee, Feet, Darkzy ft.

12 Tiny Relationship Problems That Are Actually Major Red Flags

These should never be overlooked.

It's impossible to wade into the world of dating without occasionally (or, for many of us, more than occasionally) spotting some red flags. While these little warning signs don't necessarily mean the relationship is doomed from the start or beginning to fizzle out, they do mean the two of you probably need to sit down and check in on where it's going and what each of you wants. Here are 12 signals that are super easy to accidentally overlook:

1. You're always messaging them first. And I mean literally always. Sure, he's super responsive once you start talking, but if you weren't the one starting conversations, would they even happen?

2. They don't take photos with you. Some people just don't like taking photos, and that's OK! It can seem trivial, but if your partner's Facebook is filled with snaps of their life, but they never like to take them with you, then maybe something larger is afoot.

3. They don't respond to you on social media. If they're chatty over text and when you're curled up together on the couch, but silent when other people might see, that's a bigger problem than it might appear. Sure, communication you have one-on-one is a million times more important than performing your relationship over social media, but radio silence on the internet kind of makes it seem like they're trying to keep the relationship hidden.

4. They're not as physically affectionate as they once were. Getting more comfortable in a relationship means the new-ness of it all starts to fade, and that can include the intense PDA you guys indulged in during your first weeks together. Being able to spend time together without constantly sucking face shows a maturity in the relationship, but it's totally OK to want some of that back if its absence is notable.

5. More often than not, you find yourself trying to fill awkward silences. While no couple should be expected to have full-on intense conversations every second of the day, long silences aren't great either. If they're uncomfortable rather than natural, you've got a problem.

6. You're slowly letting your guilty pleasure slip away. Starting a new relationship gives you all kinds of reasons to shake up your routine. So it totally stands to reason you'll have fewer nights to binge-watch the Kardashians on your couch if you're going on more and more dates. But even if your weeks and nights are filled with exciting, fulfilling dates/adventures/sex with your new partner, letting your own self-care routines fall by the wayside is a big deal. Don't forget about taking *~yourself~* on dates every one in awhile.

7. They've stopped doing the little things you fell in love with. Yes, the honeymoon phase has to end eventually, but does that really mean no more good-morning texts? No more spontaneous surprises? No more weekly nights out? It's easy to feel like those things are expendable, but if you've brought this to their attention and they still can't toss in a tiny, romantic gesture every now and then, beware.

8. You're obsessively checking what they're doing online. The average human checks Facebook about 10 million times a day, so it's easy to see a little social media stalking as completely normal. And especially since if you're feeling distant IRL, it's natural to try and bridge that gap by seeing what they're up to online. However, this can lead to paranoia, which can be incredibly destructive to a relationship. Why does it seem like they're talking to everyone else but you?!??!!

9. You guys are Netflix and chilling more than you're wining and dining. Nobody has time for elaborate dates every other night, but if the only times you see each other are for sex and Orange Is the New Black, you may need to redefine your relationship.

10. They're never the one to make plans. While you guys go out and do fun things all the time, it's becoming more and more apparent that you're the only one who orchestrates them. While it could totally just be because they know you have great ideas, maybe suggest that they take charge of the next date.

11. You're constantly venting to your friends. The occasional rant to your BFF about a fight you guys got in or a comment they made is totally justified. However, there's a difference between getting something off your chest and being full-on poisoned by your own drama.

12. It feels like too much effort to address it. If all these tiny things have happened to you but you just don't feel like bringing it up, revaluate. If you don't feel the relationship is worth working on, then it's not worth being in.

Product Information

The Mayo Clinic reports that 70% or approximately 210 million Americans use prescription and non-prescription drugs.  Medications historically were primarily prescribed to the older age bracket but this has transcended across all age groups; especially in recent years.

Over half (52%) of Americans surveyed who are currently taking a prescribed medication have stopped or wanted to stop taking a medication due to side effects. Nearly 1 in 3 (31%) adults have completely stopped taking a medication because of the side effects. Specifically, 21% of those who have ever wanted to stop taking a medication said it was because they were experiencing dry mouth. Pharmacists may hold the key to unlocking this unfortunate reality by encouraging and increasing dialog with their patients.  Additionally, dry mouth increases the likelihood of tooth decay by approximately 3 times because of the lack of saliva that naturally protects teeth and gums.  If left untreated, medication side effects like dry mouth can cause even more oral health problems.

THE CITIZEN'S very own marathon men have been proudly showing off their medals after completing the gruelling 26-mile circuit of the capital on Sunday.

Sports Editor Owen Phillips and reporter Chris Bevan were tired but happy after completing the course of the 20th Flora London Marathon in 5hr 27min.

After a good start, the brave duo found the going tough in the final few miles, and although they weren't quite crawling up the Mall, their pace had slowed somewhat.

Owen said: 'It was a great day and we both really enjoyed the run, for the first few miles anyway.

'It was difficult towards the end but we just kept going and got over the line which was a great feeling.

'We were both in a bit of pain for a few days afterwards but it was well worth it.'

Chris added: 'It's nice not having to think about a training regime anymore after all that pasta but I definitely want to run the marathon again.

'There was a great atmosphere on the day and the crowd really lift you through it. Things got a bit tough in the last few miles but we both made it which is all that matters.'

The sporty pair were running in aid of three local cancer charities: the Margaret Centre at Whipps Cross Hospital, the St Clare Hospice in Hastingwood and the Helen Rollason Cancer Care Appeal at North Middlesex Hospital.

If you haven't already, it's not too late to sponsor the pair. Donations can be sent to Sportsdesk Marathon Challenge, Guardian House, 480-500 Larkshall Road, Highams Park, London E4 9GD. Cheques should be made payable to Sportsdesk Challenge.

Daniel James

Daniel James from 'Dan Flying Solo' takes us on his trip to Japan! He highlights some of the best spots you simply can't miss while visiting Tokyo.

His video captures the complex culture Japan has to offer.  Daniel was able to see some of the oldest traditions that date back thousands of years, whilst experiencing a country that is in a continual shift of trends, fashion styles and technical progress.

Dan visited the city of Yokohama which was one of the first Japanese ports that opened to outside trade. Further on, he highlights Kamakura, which is a prominent resort town that is home to dozens of temples and shrines, the most well-known being the Kotoku-in Temple’s Great Buddha. Finally, Dan captures the outstanding magnificence of Mount Fuji, standing 3,776 metres tall. Considered to be one of Japan’s 3 sacred mountains, and where summit hikes still remain a popular activity for tourists. Dan’s highlight reel only shows a small proportion of the wonder Japan has to offer, which is one of the reasons Japan needs to be a must on your travel bucket list!

Creative Belgium exists to promote, encourage and celebrate creative excellence for brands and businesses. Creative Belgium welcomes everyone who believes in creative excellence for brands and institutions. Our organization unites and inspires creative thinkers representing all the roles involved in the creation of communication: copywriters, art director, photographers, directors, strategists, web designers, producers, students, teachers,... Creative Belgium is a non-profit organisation, led by an elected Board and the daily management team.

President MANIFESTO

Jens Mortier - partner & creative director mortierbrigade

"These past three years we grew from a club to an open creative platform. We now have a new website, a more modern award show, inspiring Creative Sessions, a New Talent Award for the next generation (formerly the Michel Leen Award), a Director’s Lounge, a new and completely digital entry and voting system, an annual book showcasing our best work that is for sale in shops, and more. We have grown from 340 to over 500 members, and we are financial core-minded.

Over the coming years, I believe we must focus primarily on inspiring and motivating the new generation of creatives. All under the motto:
Creative Belgium wants to unite and inspire the next generation of creative talent and help the creative industry to prove its added value. Promoting creativity as a driver of economic and social good and change.”

As a member-organisation, the elected board is responsible for watching over the overall direction of Creative Belgium, its programmes and where the money is spent. The Board works on the future, inspires other members by thinking with us and assists the daily management by providing content.

Members of the Board are supporting Creative Belgium through strategic thinking, bringing ideas to the table, speaking at events and embracing its initiatives. Ultimately the efforts of the Board will help us to shape the future of Creative Belgium and the Belgian creative industry.

Composed of members, chosen from craft, advertising, digital and design disciplines, the Board meets 6 times a year, each of them bringing their unique expertise, concerns and opinions to the group.

The Board is elected by the corporate members for a period of three years– and possibly by individual members that unite for one vote.

Where does your money go?

Creative Belgium is a non-profit organisation, led by an elected Board.
The Board's responsibilities are to challenge the overall direction, to define programmes and where the money is spent.
All of its surplus revenues are invested back into the creative industry, with a focus on projects that develop the next generation of creative talent and on creative sessions that educate and inspire the creative industry.

Service and Support - G-Drive products are backed by an uncompromising level of technical support and after sales service, delivered through a world class service network..

To protect public health and conserve our planet's natural resources, legislation from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and regulatory agencies in the European Union (EU) has, for the past decade, required that pollutants produced by diesel engines - such as nitrogen oxides (NOx), hydrocarbons (HC) and particulate matter (PM) - be reduced.

Throughout this time, Cummins Inc. has been at the forefront of the move to meet these new standards, becoming:

  • the first manufacturer to introduce EPA Tier-2 and Tier-3 products to the market - ahead of the regulatory deadline;
  • the first manufacturer to introduce EU Stage IIIA compliant generator-drive diesel engines to Europe;
  • the leader in innovative emissions solutions that focus predominantly on in-cylinder design improvements to eliminate most of the NOx, HC and PM before they are formed.

As a result, our diesel engines are not only very clean, but also retain all of their performance advantages without exhaust after treatment strategies that add cost and complicate maintenance for end users.

G-Drive Engines

  • Mid-range (1.3 - 9L) medium-horsepower engines (16 to 476 hp), providing the broadest Tier 3 range which further reduce Tier 2 NOx levels by 38%
  • Heavy duty (11 - 15L) 415 to 755 hp engines powering commercial operations
  • High-horsepower (19 - 78L) 675 to 3700 hp at both 1500 and 1800 rpm, designed to meet Tier 2/Stage II emissions requirements for electronics and diagnostics, base engine and turbocharging, power cylinder and fuel systems

Cummins Power Generation provides the best warranty and extended warranty plan in the industry. You can expect Cummins Power Generation and its authorized warranty locations to:

  • Stand behind Cummins Power Generation products.
  • Repair all failures that are a result of defects in materials or factory workmanship by Cummins Power Generation, or arrange for OEM warranty service if component is from another manufacturer.
  • Provide the benefit of the coverage immediately.

Lucrecia Dalt: Who is Afraid of Lucrecia Dalt? Interview by Christopher Mann

On the face of it, it would seem quite strange to be afraid of Lucrecia Dalt. Musically, she plays an often quiet blend of post-rock and ambient electronica shaped into pop songs. Physically she has a beauty that is both casual and elegant, while in conversation she is both charming and intelligent, patiently weighing up each answer. Hardly the stuff of nightmares. Yet by circumstance my encounters with her have come to be plagued by misfortune and a sense of dread even while they have also always been inspirational and artistically satisfying. Somewhere in this enigma is the essence of her music, a poised world between reward and danger, between decision and inertia, an uncomfortable place forever becoming.

The story begins at the Mutek festival in Barcelona where Lucrecia opened with a landmark set of her one-woman show, singing as well as playing bass and a mass of electronics all at the same time. In this case she was performing a live soundtrack of dreamy industrial music to Werner Herzog’ 1992 film ‘Lessons in Darkness’ about the deliberately lit oil fires in Kuwait after the first Gulf War. As the images of flames and plumes of oily smoke rose above her on the screen it was hard to tell if she was calling out to them or trying to dispel them with the music. The background to the event was a winter of extreme cold, talk of the Mayan apocalypse looming and Lars von Trier’ ‘Melancholia’ in circulation at the cinema. The end of the world was nigh. Next time we met for the interview it was summer and we are in the wilder part of Park Güell at night, torn apart by mosquitoes and with more than an element of witchery in the moonlit sky. When I arrived home I had been shut out of my apartment and already that day I had lost my job. Two months later she presented the premiere of her third album ‘Commotus’ [HEM, 2012] in an art gallery. The only reason I was there is because my house has been robbed and my holidays cancelled. She exceled on stage that night, bathed in moody light and wearing a red dress, untroubled by the weight of her signature bass. “I’ve been doing deals with the devil” she moaned again into the microphone towards the end of the set.

The true story begins sometime earlier in Colombia in the town of Medellín, once more recognisable as the most violent city in the world thanks to Pablo Escobar and his drug cartel, but now a modern centre, recently voted the world’ most innovative city in 2013. While still living there, she released her debut album Acerca in 2005 for the local Series label which she describes as “more like a collaborative, collective of musicians than a label”. Her sound was still a work in progress then, bearing the influences of both the local electronic scene and an influence of Warp-style IDM. “At the time I did this album I was close to this environment that went towards electronic music and the dance music of the moment.” She muses. “They’re the people that I learned from, using their synths and their drum machines. But then you are looking at your friends who are teaching and they are making four to the floor beats and you are like “I have to record a voice just to feel a little bit more balanced. So that’s how I started. I didn’t realise that I could develop something that I was going to do all my time”.

The follow-up to ‘Acerca’ was an EP ‘Like being home’ released in 2007, also on Series. With this came confidence and then a bit of luck as she explains. “The first album was a really local thing, only 100 copies, or maybe 200, made in the copistera (copy centre), printed in the computers of friends and so on. But then the second one, the EP, was on a netlabel and a free down-load, but it was a nice experience to have, because I was sending it to everybody. From that I organised some dates to play in Argentina and I became like a stalker in MySpace, to every Argentinian I could see: “This is my album and I’m coming to Argentina. It was a very spontaneous and naive way of doing thing back then.”

But MySpace also yielded unexpected rewards when the highly influential and respected German musician and Monika Enterprise label owner Gudrun Gut came calling. “I was living in Colombia at the time when I first got the contact through MySpace. I knew the label, but I didn’ realise who she was. When I started to research I was like ‘Oh my goodness, this is a really important contact”. Because sometimes you receive a lot of crappy mails like ‘do you want to sing in my song’ so you are always looking to say no in a polite way. It was the first thing that happened that was like really interesting.” The fruit of the contact was the opening four tracks on the compilation ‘4 Women No Cry Vol. 3’ [Monika Enterprise, 2008] that also featured the then unknown Julia Holter, Liz Christine and Greek artist Eleni Adamopoulou. In-between releasing the compilation, Lucrecia moved to Barcelona, facilitating a short European tour to promote the release, which lead to more contacts, amongst them a lasting friendship with Holter who contributed to Commotus.

Lucrecia’s presence on the all-girl compilation also raises some interesting questions about femininity and the state of female artists in general, especially given the public image of female Colombian artists is tainted somewhat by the gyrations and teasings of the likes of Shakira. The motives behind the series of compilations at least appear simple. “When I first had the contact with Gudrun Gut, I thought it was more like a feminist thing, but when I was there I realised that it was just pure passion of female production, it’s not pretentious at all, just promoting women without politics,” explains Lucrecia, before pausing and adding, “Sometimes you do feel this female pressure around you, but I felt really comfortable and everything was so fluid, that the question wasn’ necessary. But there is still something there that needs to be resolved.”

The something to resolve, for Lucrecia at least, may come from the broader cultural perspectives of Colombian culture. “I guess the Colombian stereotype of a woman is voluptuous and sexy, uncovered and operated. It’s very, very common, even among girls who don’t even want to show themselves. Many friends got their [breast enlargement]operation at 15. There’s a question in many families, ‘Do you want to go on a trip, or do you want the operation for your 15th birthday?’. It’s something really normal. I was reading an interview of Maria Minerva and she was talking about this concept of ‘slutwave’ and she was saying ‘Let’s be honest, let’s not forget the fact that I’m a woman on stage and actually when I look around there is a lot of guys in the audience and when I am moving and singing, there is always a little twist…’ In my case I am not sure if it is something absolutely related to my femininity or if it is just the way I am? It does make the project kind of more empowering when I am on stage, but if I was a guy on stage would I be the same?”

After the tour to promote the compilation and some collaborative projects, the now Barcelona-based Lucrecia published her second full album, 2009’s ‘Congosta’ on the Pruna label. The album signalled the consolidation of Lucrecia´s sound, finding a powerful confidence in self-expression and a perfect balance between atmosphere and the multi instrumental parts that still fitted into the space of the pop song format. If anything, ‘Congosta’ was a further step away from electronica, making frequent use of the guitar, with the beats forming more of a backdrop for the tapestry of voice and textures. Her third album ‘Commotus’, although drifting back towards electronica, was a marked step forward in terms of complexity and execution. Part of the change came from a new balance in instrumentation, with a heavy emphasis on bass, but also a distinct complication to the psychological elements of the tracks, with a palpable sense of unease drifting into the mood. And all this came bound beneath the incredibly striking cover image of a Texas dust storm from the 1930s, a photograph of a terrible and exciting moment where the beauty of the image somehow lulls a false sense of security.

Explaining the shift to bass Lucrecia confesses that “On this album I got a little bit obsessed with the bass because of how I wanted to be able to play it all live. I wanted to be autonomous, but also not fake where everything is playback. I wanted to be able to create something that was kind of honest. There is also this sensation of limitation because bass is a really limited frequency instrument. So I started to think about it and with some processing I could create other sounds. Live I play back the drum parts, but some drums are made with this effect that takes the frequency of the bass and then it creates a dynamic pattern with the low pass filter and the results sound like an old drum machine. I am using like pitch shifters and reverbs and delays or whatever to keep this frequency expanding.”

The psychological presence is something else that is critical to the music. Lucrecia dismisses any sense that the songs are haunting (or hauntological), despite the fact she talks frequently of Colombia and misses the greenery. Instead, she offers an alternative explanation: “Prior to this album, I was really stimulated by sound, by new music and old music and so on, but with this album I was really stimulated by film makers. I was watching a lot of Luis Bunel, Ingmar Bergman movies, Godard movies and so on. In this surrealistic kind of film, you never know what to expect, they do whatever they want to do with you, especially Godard with the sound. The narrative doesn’t go fluidly. Or Pere Portabella, for example, introduces changes of narrative. I was thinking a lot about that when I was making the album. I don’t want to make a piece that is absolutely perfect. I want to make something that, at some point, it makes you say to yourself ‘What the fuck is happening here?’

The change of narrative is a fundamental to the album’ potency and Lucrecia’ creative process. ‘Commotus’, Latin for ‘woken or ‘provoked’, begins simply enough, with two straight forward tracks that appear to introduce the characters of a film. It is the arrival of ‘Turmoil’, in which she sings of the devil, that shifts the narrative of the album and the song, merely by introducing a simple shimmering surf guitar chord. From then on the album becomes more unpredictable, throwing up contrasts in mood and between melody and abstraction, all gradually unravelling in a hazy and cinematic second side that recalls dub as much as post rock and electronica. There is a Bergman-esque feeling of personas at play, something that Spaniard Miguel Marin uses to great effect in his Arbol group, in which Lucrecia also sings live.

The sense of discomfort and narrative change also relates closely to Lucrecia’ academic training in geology, the cover image of the dust storm on ‘Commotus’ and also the beautifully bronzed landscape that adorns ‘Congost’. She doesn’ hesitate in confirming that “It is always metaphorical in the end. There is this geological thing, which in Spanish is called diaclase (joints), where the rock really fractures without moving. Just that image starts to make messy things in my brain, or these things like the batholiths, which are always making me question how these things can be possible? How did they appear from under the ground and change the whole perspective and change the landscape?”

When she talks of the cover image she denies any analogy with the current crisis in Europe and Spain, since the Texas ‘black blizzards’ were a consequence of mismanagement and a provoker of the depression, but instead offers a simpler explanation: “It [the dust storm]is not something that destroys radically everything around you, but it is more like a thing that is there that makes you think and changes your comfort. But depending on your personality, it can make you react in a different ways, like do I just collapse, or do I choose to react in a good way and work on it? It is a thing that is more questioning you rather than threatening you.” Later she is more explicit, capturing the mood of the music and how she translates herself as an artist on stage and in the studio: “I am always looking for becoming. Like developing and going to another place to see what happens. I am always trying to find the uncomfortable situation.” In this way Lucrecia has been a success, creating a particular musical geography, each album like a melodic batholith penetrating the surroundings and creating in the landscape that new and therefore uncomfortable situation that forces you to respond and question. And for this reason it is always worth being a little bit afraid of Lucrecia Dalt and what questions she might ask next.

Assemblyman Tony Thurmond has won the race for California state superintendent of public instruction, defeating Marshall Tuck in the nonpartisan contest.

Two million ballots have yet to be counted but in a tweet he issued this morning, Thurmond said Tuck had conceded the race in a “gracious call to congratulate me and wish me well.”

The most recent results showed Thurmond 152,000 votes ahead and leading Tuck 50.8 percent to 49.2 percent with 9 million votes tabulated.

“I intend to be a champion of public schools and a Superintendent for all California students,” said Thurmond said in a statement. “I ran for Superintendent of Public Instruction to deliver to all Californians the promise that public education delivered to me – that all students, no matter their background and no matter their challenges, can succeed with a great public education.”

The result will be not be official until all the votes are counted, and will be certified by the Secretary of State in early December.

In a lengthy statement issued to his supporters, Tuck said, “Given it has become clear that we are not going to win this campaign, I felt it was in the best interest of California’s children for me to concede now so that Assemblymember Thurmond has as much time as possible to plan to take over as State Superintendent.”

Thurmond is a two-term assemblyman representing parts of Oakland and other East Bay communities. A social worker by training, he ran several nonprofits serving children before turning to political office. He served both on the board of the West Contra Costa Unified School District and on the Richmond City Council.

Tuck  was formerly head of a charter school network and also directed a partnership of  public schools within Los Angeles Unified.

After the initial post-election count, Tuck was ahead by 86,000 votes. But mail-in and provisional ballots counted since then proved to be a gold mine for Thurmond. Thurmond has collected 238,000 more votes than Tuck out of the approximately 3 million ballots counted since Election Day.

According to EdSource estimates, a record-breaking nearly $60 million was spent on the race by the competing sides through direct contributions and through independent expenditure committees.

Even though both Thurmond and Tuck are Democrats, Thurmond benefited from getting the official endorsement of the California Democratic Party, as well as some of the party’s most prominent elected officials, such as Sen. Kamala Harris and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi.

He was also backed by the California Teachers Association and other labor unions representing education workers and university faculty. At the same time, he had to fend off a well-financed, and often negative, campaign mounted by charter school advocates who poured money into an independent expenditure committee set up to defeat his candidacy.

CTA president Eric Heins said electing Gavin Newsom governor and Thurmond state superintendent were his union’s top priority. “It’s clear that educators played a pivotal role in this election,” he said, pointing to phone banking, door to door canvassing and other activities by union members on behalf of Thurmond.

One indication of the potency of labor backing in this race is that every state superintendent of public instruction over the past 24 years — Delaine Eastin, Jack O’Connell and current incumbent Tom Torlakson — was endorsed by teachers unions. Like Thurmond, Eastin, O’Connell and Torlakson all served in the Legislature before they ran for state superintendent of public instruction.

This was the second time that Tuck had made a run for the office, both times mounting a vigorous campaign, and both times falling short.  “I remind myself that winning the election isn’t the end goal,” he said in the statement he issued today.  “The end goal is that all children in this state and country, regardless of background, get access to quality public schools.”

Thurmond’s victory also means that for only the second time an African American will occupy the post.  The last was the near-legendary Wilson Riles, who was defeated by Bill Honig in 1982 after serving three terms.

In fact, Riles and Thurmond will be the only people of color to occupy the post, in a state where children of color comprise over three quarters of California’s 6 million student body.

Sharon's Story

How a dreamer took the plunge to explore her passions and live her dream life.

Are you a dreamer?

Do you dream about faraway lands, overwater bungalows or other exotic vacations? Have you ever been afraid to get into a kayak for fear it will sink? Have you talked yourself out of a hike because you thought you might not be able to finish it?

My name is Sharon and I’m a dreamer too! Except now I’m doing everything in my power to live that dream. I used to browse the internet planning vacations I never had the courage to book. There was always a fear: I can’t travel alone, I’m too fat to do that, it looks hard and on and on.

In 2011, I started a travel blog. I shared my boring beach vacation stories and favourite travel products, but I yearned for more.

I jumped into my car, made my girlfriends get up at ungodly hours and drove them to small towns to get out and explore. I walked into local businesses and said I want to write about you! I took photos and went home and blogged about it on my site.

Soon after, Ontario tourism boards took notice of me. On my very first press trip, we went treetop trekking. It was a hard course and after two obstacles I realized I wasn’t going to be able to complete it. I swallowed my shame, disappointment and fear as the crew set up a high angle rescue.

The Life Changing Moment When…

Yes, that is me being rescued out of the tree. That’s me in my plus size 18 pink capris pants having a life revelation. About half way down I had this overwhelming moment of pure joy. I knew I was the only blogger on the trip with this story and also I knew in my core, this is what I was meant to be doing. I found my passion.

I learned something that day, I am afraid of heights and not a fan of military type treetop rope challenges. Clearly, I was not in shape enough to do that level of trekking, but I also didn’t die from trying. I swallowed my fear of heights, the fear of dropping off the platform to repel down the tree and I survived. That moment fuelled me to try more things and stop dreaming about my life and start living it.

I had a lot of dreams. Including a healthier body, running my own business and travelling the world. I’m not going to lie, that moment in the tree was humiliating. It made me mad and pushed me to take action. As I began planning a healthier life my world suddenly collapsed around me. I was laid off.

Combined all my Passions into One Dream

After being downsized from corporate life, I decided to take the plunge and start a freelance graphic design business and work full-time on the website. I dedicated myself to living the life I’ve always dreamed about by combining my love for writing, photography and design to become a leading content creator and travel and lifestyle website in Canada.

I partnered with some amazing brands to test out their products and had the opportunity to drive all over my home province: Ontario. That’s how my adventures really took off. I experienced a lot of little dreams: rode a Segway, zip lined, went ice fi shing, went dog sledding, went snowshoeing and on an on. I’m so excited to share my stories, photos and experiences with you all!

I found myself in Texas for the first time, and more US travel brands followed. Before I knew it I had written hundreds of posts making up detailed destination guides of each region. In 2016, I added Florida and Virginia to the US section. In 2017, I started the year off in Cuba and Antigua and to celebrate Canada’s 150th I explored more regions in Quebec and Prince Edward Island.

Living The Daily Dream 360 Life!

After seven years of travel and lifestyle writing, I decided it was time for another big change. It was time to focus not only on my dreams but on how to balance them. A 360° approach to each day.

I’m hoping to move beyond just another travel and lifestyle website into a community where dreamers like me can find inspiration to live their own balanced Daily Dream 360° life!

In April, 2018, Dream Travel Magazine evolved into:

Daily Dream 360 Travel and Lifestyle Website

Antti Niemi signs with the Sharks

Updated: September 1, 2010 at 6:12 pm by Alexander Monaghan

If we had no Kovalchuk saga which unfortunately engulfed most of our summer the delay in signing a young, Stanley Cup winning goaltender like Antti Niemi would be unexpected. Possibly even unheard of.

Well, all is right now in the world as Niemi signed with a contender and pushed Antero Niittymaki from what seemed like his last chance to prove he would be a capable NHL starter. Whoever backs up Niemi will be decided during training camp according to The Mercury News.  For now, all is well in the world and the Sharks look like they may be the team to beat despite not replacing Rob Blake on the blue line.

As more teams start to feel the effects of a cap-based world, even the true contenders can carry holes in their lineup.  Expect a slight regression in peripherals without the elite tandem of Duncan Keith and Brent Seabrook but a great deal of wins.

The following two tabs change content below.
