On March 20-22, Steve Zamborsky of NAPCO visited downtown Cleveland, Ohio for the 2017 CoatingsTech Conference. The conference featured a special lineup of industry experts speaking on a variety of different topics, as well as technical classes aimed at exploring new ideas in the coating tech world.

At the 2017 CoatingsTech Conference

In addition to these seminars, the conference offered an award competition in three areas; the best paper award, the ACA student presenter award, and the student poster session award. The winners of these competitions were invited to speak and display their work for comment at the symposium.

“I always enjoy the student poster portion of these conferences,” commented Steve. “These students are doing important and ground-breaking research in the field of coating technology, and older folks like me can still learn a lot about new trends and technology!” he finished.

While in Cleveland, Steve was a part of the short course “Smart & Multi-Functional Coatings: How They Are Conceived and Made.” This three and a half hour-long session was taught by Jamil Baghdachi, a Professor of Polymer and Coatings at Eastern Michigan University. While attending the short course, Steve learned about new opportunities for research and breakthroughs in the coating tech industry, and how best to convert this type of research into actual practice. The course addressed new technologies like self-cleaning and dirt-resistant coatings, as well as superhydrophobic and ice-phobic films.

For the final day of the symposium, there was a Regulatory & Sustainability Focus Special Session. This all-day seminar featured a number of special guests speakers who highlighted new innovations in sustainable coating technologies and the importance of investing in these types of solutions.

NAPCO remains committed to providing the best possible service for our clients, and this means keeping up-to-date on all the latest information in the field. Check back later for more updates on conferences and symposiums attended by dedicated NAPCO employees!

Rosebud Sioux Tribe Announces Position on Keystone XL Pipeline

Categories: ,

President William Kindle of the Rosebud Sioux Tribe (Sicangu Lakota Oyate) promised continued vigilance in light of the Nebraska Public Service Commission’s decision today to permit TransCanada Corp.’s proposed Keystone XL pipeline to cross that state’s lands. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe has retained the Native American Rights Fund (NARF) to represent its interests with regard to the Keystone XL pipeline.

The pipeline’s proposed route crosses through traditional Lakota homelands and treaty territories, and will affect not only the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, but also Native Nations in Montana, South Dakota, and Nebraska. It also endangers the Ogallala Aquifer, which supplies water for Native and non-Native users’ residential and agricultural needs on the High Plains in eight states.

“The land, water, tribal sovereignty, and governmental services were not ‘given’ to us in those treaties,” President Kindle said. “They were bargained for with the blood of our ancestors. We will not dishonor our relatives and unnecessarily endanger our health, safety, and wellbeing. The Rosebud Sioux Tribe will take any and all necessary steps, up to and including litigation, to protect our people, our land and water, and our cultural and historic resources.”

“As we have seen, spills from such projects can be catastrophic,” said NARF Staff Attorney Matt Campbell. “The Rosebud Sioux Tribe—just like South Dakota, Nebraska, and Montana—has a duty to protect the health and welfare of its citizens. NARF will help the Tribe make sure it has considered all of its options for ensuring the safety of the Tribe’s citizens, territory, and resources.”

“This is their land, their water,” said NARF Staff Attorney Natalie Landreth. “They have laws protecting their water and those laws must be respected. Keystone XL will need permission from the Rosebud Sioux Tribe, so this is not over.”

See the open letter from President Kindle for more information on the Rosebud Sioux Tribe’s position.

A History of the Keystone Pipeline

The Keystone XL (KXL) Pipeline is the proposed Phase 4 of the Keystone Pipeline system, which already is online with a capacity to carry more than 500,000 barrels per day. The XL stands for “export limited.” If completed, the Keystone XL would add another 510,000 barrels of capacity.

Phase 1 of the Keystone Pipeline was permitted in March 2008. Phase 2 and 3 did not require Presidential Permits and were built over several years starting in 2010. Because it crosses the U.S.-Canada border, Phase 4 does require a Presidential Permit; however, it has been met with opposition since its initial proposal. A timeline of the Keystone Pipeline project is below.

February: TransCanada Corporation proposes the Keystone Pipeline project.

September: Canada’s National Energy Board approves the Canadian section.

January: ConocoPhillips acquires a 50% stake in the project.

March: The U.S. Department of State issues a Presidential Permit authorizing Keystone facilities at the U.S.-Canada border.

September: TransCanada and ConocoPhillips file an application for the Keystone XL Phase 4 extension.

Pipeline representatives start visiting landowners potentially affected by Keystone XL. Opposition emerges in Nebraska.

June: TransCanada announces it will buy ConocoPhillips’ stake in Keystone.

March: Canada’s National Energy Board approves the Canadian section of the Keystone XL.

June: Phase 1 of the Keystone Pipeline goes online. It runs from Hardisty, Alberta, to Patoka, Illinois.

June-July: Increased opposition to Keystone XL includes legislators and scientists speaking out against the project; the Environmental Protection Agency questions the need for the pipeline extension.

July: The State Department extends its review of Keystone, saying they need more time for review before a final environmental impact assessment can be released.

February : The Keystone-Cushing Phase 2 of the pipeline goes online. It connects Steele City, Nebraska, to Cushing, Oklahoma.

August: The State Department releases its final environmental assessment that the pipeline would have a limited environmental impact.

August-September: Keystone XL protesters organize two weeks of civil disobedience at the White House. Police arrest approximately one thousand people.

December: U.S. legislators pass a bill with a provision saying President Barack Obama must make a decision on the pipeline’s future in the next 60 days.

January: Obama rejects the Keystone Pipeline, saying the December bill did not allow enough time to review the new route. Obama says TransCanada is free to submit another application.

February: TransCanada announces it will build Phase 3 of the Keystone Pipeline as a separate project that is not subject to presidential permission, since it does not cross an international border.

April: TransCanada submits a new route to officials in Nebraska for approval.

May: TransCanada files a new application with the State Department for the northern part of Keystone XL.

January: Nebraska Gov. Dave Heineman approves the proposed route for Keystone XL, sending the project back to the State Department for review. Pipeline opponents file a lawsuit against the Nebraska government claiming the state law used to review the new route is unconstitutional.

January: The Cushing MarketLink Phase 3a pipeline goes online. It connects Cushing, Oklahoma, to Port Arthur, Texas. Phase 3b is added later, connecting the pipeline from Port Arthur to Houston, Texas.

February: A Nebraska judge rules that the law that allowed the governor to approve Keystone XL over the objections of landowners was unconstitutional. Nebraska appeals.

April: The State Department suspends the regulatory process indefinitely, citing uncertainty about the court case in Nebraska.

November: TransCanada says the costs of Keystone XL have grown to US$8 billion from US$5.4 billion. Elections turn control of the U.S. Congress over to Republicans, who pledge to move forward on Keystone XL.

January: The Nebraska Supreme Court narrowly strikes down the lower-court decision, ruling that the governor’s actions were constitutional. The U.S. Senate approves a bill to build Keystone XL.

February: Obama vetoes the bill.

November: The Obama administration rejects TransCanada’s application to build the Keystone XL pipeline.

November: Trump elected president.

January: Trump signs a presidential memorandum inviting TransCanada to resubmit their application for a Presidential Permit and directing the Secretary of State, Department of the Interior, and Department of the Army to fast-track the decision. He also signs an order requiring pipelines in the United States to be built with U.S. steel.

March: The Trump White House exempts the Keystone Pipeline from the requirement to use U.S. steel.

DVD – DVD Imitation Vs CD – DVD Duplication – Choosing the Appropriate Disc Copying Service

Many qualified compact disk duplication companies work with the two duplication and replication for the CD and DVD MOVIE jobs. Depending on quantity, turn-time and quality, you can find circumstances that dictate probably the most least expensive way to clone your own CDs and Dvd videos. High quality duplication service companies that short run COMPACT DISK and DVD duplication, and large run replication services should use high quality disks to achieve the best quality together with abiliyy. There are quite a few various methods of CD and DVD prints. Having said that many people query the two types regarding CD and DVD replication methods, the following information will need to help you to determine the best duplicate method for your career.Related image

As soon as i outline the variances between duplication and duplication solutions, keep the using in mind:

When understood and duplicated properly, the duplicated disc has the same quality as some sort of replicated disc.
Different print selections can be used with the two burning functions to give your current disk the best overall look.
According to your compact disk duplication program, you can choose almost all the same packaging together with shrink-wrapping possibilities.
Quality investigations are used with both copying strategies to make certain quality.

CD or DVD AND BLU-RAY Duplication

Duplicity is usually employed for a smaller “short run” quantity or quick-turn duplication jobs. Duplication is usually commonly used as the particular standard process when duplicating portions of just one – truck discs. Applying duplication, a master disk is used to burn (digitally transfer) your data to clear recordable discs (CD-r or DVD-r). The information is definitely validated and the replicate then recognized or refused. Because disc-burning speed offers increased greatly over the years, a good professional compact disk duplicator uses the appropriate speed when duping different types of CDs and DVDs. Regarding case in point, CD Copying with regard to songs will be slowed up to ensure playback top quality.

Dependent on the sum of CD and DVD AND BLU-RAY burning and printing products you and your duplication service services have accessible, generally duplication is some sort of faster process to produce 1-6000 cds. A quick-turn is somewhat more feasible because the set-up time period is minimal. When presented the correct content and even publications ready artwork (see our own next article), a duplicator can start creating burned and even printed dvds immediately.

MOVIE CD Duplication

Duplication is needed to make mass quantities (starting on over 1, 000) associated with disc’s. The duplication approach is equipped to manage large quantities and keep charges low because the approach does not focus on a good already manufactured CD-r. Often dvd duplication services starts with some sort of “glass master” of your own original information. Having some sort of glass master built can take up to 1-3 nights. The glass get better at can then be used to stamp out or duplicate Computer games as well as DVDs through volume poly-carbonite. The dvd can be then either screen-printed or even offset printed.

Replication does take longer then duplication with the extra steps of producing some sort of glass master in addition to developing screens for publishing to complete your job. Typically the process does much more, yet if you have a new large quantity and a good several additional days to extra, duplication is the less expensive and better alternative for your current CD as well as DVD backup job.

Match ups:

*Key hint for great mastering in addition to burning the duplicated blank disc:

When producing your get better at disc, making use of the proper perfecting format will ensure that a new duplicated COMPACT DISC or DIGITAL VIDEO DISC is equivalent to some sort of replicated DVD or DIGITAL VIDEO DISC.

Use the beneath format’s:

CD – Method one closed, disc-at-once
DIGITAL VIDEO DISC instructions UDF closed, disc-at-once

Generally there is little difference in the CD / DVD AND BLU-RAY duplicated and CD / MOVIE replicated finished merchandise. Around older DVD People, there are a new slight compatibility challenge in between the two functions. Some sort of replicated disc might work on all CD and DVD players and computer drives. A replicated disc will work with people that will study the DVD-R or CD-R dvd. Nearly all new COMPACT DISC and DVD players can support a duplicated CD or perhaps DVD. In Today’s entire world, there is minimal to help no difference in between a new duplicated or replicated compact disk. Customers are commonly linked to one technique as well as other based on their own volumes. Nevertheless, requesting possibly duplication or perhaps duplication primarily based on cost, time rescued and the reducing suitability issue can help the individual make an educated determination.

Blissful, Effective Screening Privacy Trees

Let your hair down and relax in a private has the fast-growing privacy plants you want!

Celebrate your way in an all-green setting with evergreen "forever green" trees. Or, incorporate lush flowering trees to decorate your space.

Privacy is a continuum, after all! The spectrum ranges from castle walls to wispy, see-through screens.

Privacy 101 from the Nature Hills Horticulture Team

Almost Everything You Ever Wanted to Know About Privacy Trees and Shrubs

Make your privacy trees and shrubs work hard to expand the amount of livable space. Strategic placement is an important consideration for a great garden design mix.

Use privacy trees to create the walls of garden rooms. Push beyond the perimeter, and carve out smaller areas for entertaining, dining, yoga, you name it.

Maximize every square inch of your lot with a thoughtful landscape design. Give consideration to all the tasks your family performs in the yard.

Privacy Design Tips to Add Excitement

Play with plants! You'll create a landscape that reflects your personal style and lives large.

Everyone has utilitarian areas, from garbage cans to potting sheds and compost piles. Hide them from view with a short row of North Pole® Arborvitae or Blue Arrow Juniper.

Nobody says all lines have to be 90-degrees to each other...or stick-straight, either! Jazz things up by placing the row at an angle for interest.

Use privacy trees to define the different areas. Remember that sometimes, a gentle touch is enough to get the job done.

Scoop a dollop of soft screening with Soft Serve Cypress on the street side of your children's play structure. Or, consider the bold blooms of First Editions® Plum Magic Crape Myrtle on one side of your back door.

Look for opportunities to "blur the line of sight" to a neighbor's window. Stick with skinny plants like Castle Wall Holly in small space gardens. offers an extensive online catalog of plants that add privacy. Filter the results you want by height, mature spread and growing Zone.

You'll be happy with right-sized plants to avoid an oppressive feeling. Don't bring an "elephant gun" to a mosquito hunt...filter by feet in height from 12 feet, 20 feet, 30 feet, 40 feet and more.

What is a Privacy Tree?

Privacy trees feature dense branching with lush foliage. They are moderately tall, and best of

Privacy trees prevent neighbors from viewing the yard, block an unsightly view, and assist in noise abatement. These important trees provide the underpinning to your overall landscape design.

Common Considerations for Privacy Trees

There are several choices of trees that will perform well in providing a living fence or screen. The first choice is whether the grower desires an evergreen tree or a deciduous tree.

Considerations for the choice of tree would include:

  • What is the mature height and spread?
  • How thick or dense are they?
  • How long do they live?
  • How fast do they grow?
  • How much care will they need?
  • Are they drought tolerant?
  • Do they need full sun?

Evergreen trees are versatile and can be used as specimens, hedges, and privacy screens. But well-branched deciduous trees that drop their leaves in fall should also be considered.

For large properties, you'll add a lyrical screen with Weeping Willow trees. Site them correctly, with plenty of space, and you'll love their graceful look any time of year.

In this collection, we've also included a few tall shrubs for your consideration. Choose the right plant for the right spot!

Take a look at our Privacy Shrubs, too!

We highly recommend that you consider a mix of plants for the most attractive landscape. Biodiversity of species is touted by many experts as a way to limit your risk, as well.

Evergreen Privacy Trees Offer Color and Structure Year-Round

Evergreen trees tend to be dense and long lived. But Spruce trees start to branch close to the ground, whereas Pine trees will be branched several feet above the ground when mature.

Evergreen trees, such as Thuja Green Giant Arborvitae, are used in countless locations as screening plants. These fast growers can put on up to three feet a year!

Leyland Cypress is another large-scale evergreen option that can be sheared into a hedge. Use this in a sheltered spot where the wind doesn't blow as hard, and ice storms won't faze it.

Living fences are a standard privacy treatment for use on your property lines. A long line of solid green makes a formal statement!

Just remember that tall trees planted on the south side of a landscape will cast long shadows that may limit plant choices in other areas of your yard. Emerald Green Arborvitae is a nice compromise to consider in this situation.

Don't forget about Privet shrubs, Strawberry Trees, Pacific Wax Myrtle, and other broad-leaved evergreens. Even Magnolia trees can be used as large-scale privacy hedges with a beautiful bonus of lemon-scented blooms.

Use a Mix of Both Evergreen and Deciduous Privacy Trees

Popular fast-growing privacy trees include deciduous trees like Royal Empress Paulownia, Willow Hybrid and Hybrid Poplars.

Slower growing evergreen trees like Spruce or Eastern White Pine make a very handsome, and long-lived addition. The trade off is time!

Consider growing two rows of privacy trees if there is space enough. Plant the fast growing tree in the back row and the slower growing tree in the front row.

When the slower growing trees reach the desired size, remove the shorter lived trees in the back row. Choose trees that begin branching close to the ground for best results.

Flowering Privacy Trees Look Gorgeous

Evergreen trees make a perfect choice for the exterior border of your landscape. But you'll be thrilled with the tender charm of blooming trees for interior applications.

Run an informal grouping of Flowering Crabapple trees in your patio planting bed. Sculpt them to leave the lower branches on the main stem for plenty of expansive privacy.

Use Crape Myrtle trees as hedges, specimens or mass plantings. These versatile plants can be pruned to size, and can even be kept in containers!

How Many Feet of Spacing Is Best Between Privacy Trees?

The goal is to create a lush, solid screen without sacrificing healthy air circulation. Study the Plant Highlights on every product page to see how many feet tall and feet wide your mature tree will reach.

Plant them on center, measuring from the center of one to the center of the next. Choose the smallest number listed for the mature spread.

Finally, use an old farmer's trick. Stagger two rows in a zig-zagging planting pattern for a faster fill.

Even narrow plants like Sky Pencil Holly do well in a staggered planting. As a bonus, you'll love the full, natural look of a staggered row!

Ideas for a Private Backyard in a Hurry

Add a curved berm with extra soil brought in and placed in a mounding heap. Create two higher hills, with one higher and wider as the dominant hill.

Why create a berm? Plant your privacy trees on the berm, and you'll jump start your privacy by several feet.

Buy the largest container sizes we have in stock, and you'll gain another big head's start. Larger container sizes mean older trees with a larger root system.

Always use Nature Hills Root Booster with important landscape trees and shrubs. This symbiotic formula supports the tiny feeder roots over the whole life of your plant...and never "wears out".

Creative Privacy Tree Choices

Love songbirds? Use low-maintenance, fragrant Eastern Red Cedar trees to give birds plenty of shelter.

Have kids and want a natural playground? Plant a checkerboard of Blue Italian Cypress trees for them to use as a perfect place for amazing games of Hide and Seek.

Add three Nellie Stevens Holly in a curve to create a magnificent backdrop for a collection of Hybrid Tea Roses. Just remember to site them on the north side of your Rose bushes!

Unique flowering trees include Summerburst Golden Rain tree with their outstanding ornamental features. And no one should forget Ivory Silk Lilac trees with their incredible fragrance.

Buy healthy, well-rooted, fast growing privacy trees and shrubs from We make it so easy with expert shipping right to your doorstep.

Chicago Forecast

Chicago Forecast: Saturday Could Mark Hottest Weekend in the City So Far This Year

NBCUniversal Media, LLC

Chicago could see its hottest weekend on record so far this year, with summer temperatures remaining into the work week.

In addition to the warm weather, area residents can expect to see dry conditions, with no rain in the forecast until well into the new work week. Add southwesterly winds into the mix, and the area is prime for a long spell of dry and hot weather in coming days.

With little humidity, Saturday is expected to warm to the low 90s, accompanied by sunny skies throughout the day.

Sunday will likely bring similar conditions with sunshine and temps in the low 90s in most areas.

Some cloudy skies could roll in Sunday with a chance for a scattered shower or two throughout the day, according to NBC 5 Storm Team meteorologists. High humidity moves in to start the work week to cause more mugginess across the area.

A bit more cloud cover is possible on Monday, but temperatures will likely remain in the mid-to-upper 80s before the next chance of rain hits the forecast on Wednesday.

“These investments, many of which are already under way, will ensure our southeast Michigan manufacturing facilities can support our aggressive growth plans,” said Jim Tetreault, the Ford vice president in charge of North American manufacturing.

The plan will cover an array of component as well as assembly plants.  In the Detroit area, that includes an axle plant, a stamping facility and two assembly lines. The Michigan Assembly Plant has become the home base for an array of high-mileage models including the new Ford Focus Electric battery car.

The maker will also invest $161 million in the Flat Rock Assembly Plant to expand production of the well-received new Fusion model that is a finalist for North American Car of the Year. Until recently, there had been concerns that factory might close after Ford’s Asian affiliate, automaker Mazda, decided to pull out of the long-term joint venture and shift production of the Mazda6 sedan back to Japan.

The expansion program reflects Ford’s growth in sales and market share since the company bottomed out during the recent recession. Like a number of its domestic competitors, Ford had sharply reduced production capacity during the downturn and now needs to expand its manufacturing base to take advantage of the anticipated rise in sales.

The U.S. market is still well below its previous mid-decade peak of more than 17 million cars, trucks and crossovers but sales are expected to end 2012 at just below 14.5 million – and forecasts call for demand to start nudging 16 million over the next several years.

Key to the new program, Ford will be investing in more flexible manufacturing operations that can adapt to shifting market demand. Factories like Michigan Assembly and Flat Rock Assembly will be able to flex between different models to reflect current buying trends.

The investment program also will support the One Ford program.  Increasingly, Ford is shifting to a mix of vehicles that are shared worldwide, such as the latest-generation Fiesta subcompact, rather than developing unique models for individual markets. There are, however, a few exceptions, such as the full-size F-Series pickups that are primarily targeted at the North American market.

Ford operates 65 plants worldwide and employs 172,000 employees.

Staten Island Family Searches for Dog Missing After House Fire

NBC Universal, Inc.

Dina Jimenez's family nearly lost everything inside their Staten Island home after a fire broke out last week. To make matters worse, their 7-year-old yorkie-pomeranian mix has gone missing.

The flames destroyed the home last Wednesday and Jimenez's father, a cancer survivor who was the only one inside their New Dorp Beach home at the time, believes Lola the dog ran out after the front door was busted open.

"I stood by the steps with the firemen, and I just kept telling them, the dog is in there. They searched and searched they said no dog in there," Dina Jimenez said.

The family is now desperately searching for the beloved dog and neighbors have come together to help out. Some have reported that they saw a dog that fit Lola's description, but no one has been able to capture her.

Jimenez said she was grateful that the fire spared her parents' lives and she hopes Lola is also OK.

10 Classic Hollywood Screen Tests

Behind-the-scenes footage of anything is usually interesting (if you're interested in that sort of thing), but these screen tests from classic movies are more fun than most.

The New Gallery Concert Series (NewGal) presents new pieces of music and visual art, along with the composers and artists who create them. NewGal’s commitment to building a unique community that encourages interactive collaborations and dialogue between musicians, visual artists, and members of the audience makes the New Gallery Concert Series one of the most refreshing organizations of its kind.

The New Gallery Concert Series, a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation, was founded by pianist and acting Artistic Director Sarah Bob in the fall of 2000. NewGal is a major contributor to Boston’s new music and new visual art community having hosted over 69 concerts with over 361 musical compositions, given more than 93 world premieres and showcased hundreds of works by just as many visual artists from around the world. With works that span the spectrum from classical-contemporary, improvisation, electronic music, jazz, folk, art song, opera, and the avant-garde to sculpture, painting, indoor installations, photography, graphic and children’s book illustrations, visual music, video art, and film, NewGal’s programs are cohesive, diverse, provocative, exciting, and intimate.

NewGal is a small but solid organization committed to presenting the NOW, with all participants alive, inspired, and curious.  While our programs include care-free and joyful moments, we, as an organization, absolutely recognize our platform’s responsibility to confront relevant subjects that impact our entire society in hopes of making progressive change.  NewGal embraces its duty via the vibrancy of our outstanding artistic community to ensure that the many intelligent, passionate, and informative voices of our artists are heard loud and clear.

Because NewGal provides a safe and friendly space for exploring challenging works, there is a strong bond between it and its community that allows NewGal to take more risks, create more appreciation for our living musicians and visual artists, invoke more dialogue both in and outside of the concert hall, and provide more creative opportunities for our participants.

NewGal’s longevity is evidence of its high quality output and mainstay in the community, committed to exposing the talent of countless and primarily local musicians and visual artists. In September 2019, …nobody move…Commissions and Premieres for the New Gallery Concert Series was released on Avie Records in honor of NewGal’s twentieth anniversary and received immediate international critical acclaim. Acting as co-presenters for over fifteen years, the New Gallery Concert Series and the Community Music Center of Boston provide the weekend long Young Composers Festival (YCF) every winter. Numerous students of all ages come to YCF at no cost to observe and create by composing, attending panel discussions, professional music readings, tutorials, concerts, and hands-on presentations that range from how to scratch like a D.J. to extended techniques on every instrument.  NewGal’s annual Call for Scores brings new (to us) composers and compositions to our venue from all over the world. Past NewGal concert, exhibition, and educational events outside of our regular season have included work with the South End Settlement House (Boston) and  residencies at the St. Cloud State University (MN), Eastern Nazerene College, and Clark University (MA) consisting of masterclasses, collaborations with faculty, panel discussions, and one on one time with students. NewGal has also had the opportunity to perform and/or present with outside organizations such as New Music Gathering, the Boston New Music Festival,  Museum of Fine Arts’ SoundBites Series (Boston),  New York University’s Frederick Loewe Theater, and Castle of our Skins.

The New Gallery Concert Series has received many accolades. The list includes the first ever John Kleshinski Award in honor of NewGals’s daring, exciting and high quality presentations, support from the Trust for Mutual Understanding to give performances and presentations of contemporary American music in Bulgaria, support multiple times from the Boston Cultural Council, Aaron Copland Supplemental Program, Cambridge Arts Council among others, and the honor of being on the short list of presenters at Boston’s WGBH Classical Festival.  NewGal has been featured in the Boston Globe, the Boston Voyager’s “Boston’s Most Inspiring Stories,”   South End Gazette, JPGazette, 90.9WBUR’s “The ARTery,” 88.9’s “Not Brahms or Liszt,” and the the prestigious Sonus: A Journal of Investigation into Global Musical Possibilities featuring Sarah Bob’s article “NEW GALLERY CONCERT SERIES and WHY IT MATTERS.”  Most recently, just days after the release of NewGal’s debut album, ...nobody move... was named “Album of the Week '' by National Sawdust and “The Boston Area’s Best Recordings of 2019” by the Boston Globe.

Ultimately, the New Gallery Concert Series is proud to have put many of our participants “on the map,” incited more commissions, more art sales, repeat performances, recordings, tours, published writings, collaborations, and connections beyond the series. Likewise, NewGal is just as proud to host a multitude of participants “already on the map” who believe in the work, the mission, and NewGal’s success, and simply want to be a part of the energy, optimism and exposure NewGal provides.  NewGal is a constant instigator and reminder that the arts are real, living, breathing, and that its connection with the audience is an important part of what makes it thrive.   Over twenty years later, the New Gallery Concert Series continues to provide exceptional new music and visual art, and promote 100% living, top notch participants, with a commitment to its community.  The New Gallery Concert Series thanks YOU, our donors, our funders, our volunteers, our patrons, and participants for your consistent and unflappable support.

The New Gallery Concert Series gratefully acknowledges the
Longy School of Music of Bard College for embarking on our newfound partnership this 20-21 season.

Mondelez International expands better-for-you snack offerings with Enjoy Life Foods acquisition

Mondelez International expands better-for-you snack offerings with Enjoy Life Foods acquisition
The $12 billion "free-from" market in the United States is large and growing at strong double-digit rates.

Mondelez International today announced the acquisition of Enjoy Life Foods, a private U.S. snacking company and the market-leading brand in the fast-growing "free from" segment. Enjoy Life offers more than 40 great-tasting products, including cookies, chocolate, snack bars, and savory snacks that are allergy-friendly and gluten-free. Enjoy Life's products are free from the eight most common allergens – wheat, dairy, peanuts, tree nuts, egg, soy, fish and shellfish – which together account for about 90 percent of all food allergies.

"As we focus on continuing to drive growth in snacking, the acquisition of Enjoy Life Foods is a great strategic fit for us," said Mark Clouse, Chief Growth Officer at Mondelez International. "The Enjoy Life brand expands our portfolio into faster growing, on-trend, 'better-for-you' areas and provides an excellent platform to make these delicious offerings available to consumers with 'free-from' needs or simply looking for healthy-lifestyle options, both in the United States and beyond."

The $12 billion "free-from" market in the United States is large and growing at strong double-digit rates1, driven by an increasing incidence of food allergies and food intolerances as well as consumers adopting "free from" as a healthy-lifestyle option.

"Enjoy Life offers an excellent brand promise that's trusted by their loyal and engaged consumers," Clouse said. "We're excited about the extraordinary potential of this business and the entrepreneurial team leading it. We have a great opportunity to share our expertise, learn from their experience and work to accelerate Enjoy Life's growth in this exciting consumer space."

"We're thrilled! As we combine our great brand, market leadership and passion for our consumers with the global resources, scale and marketing expertise of Mondelez International, I'm confident this relationship will enable us to reach even greater heights," said Scott Mandell, CEO and Founder of Enjoy Life Foods.

Mandell and other members of the Enjoy Life leadership team will continue to lead the company. Mondelez International will operate Enjoy Life Foods as a separate, wholly owned subsidiary to continue to nurture its entrepreneurial spirit, but will provide back-office support and access to its global resources.

The transaction was a simultaneous sign-and-close deal. Financial terms were not disclosed.

England make a brilliant comeback through Joe Root's maiden five wicket haul

Story by Kaushal Kowjalgi Updated 3 months ago

England is still in the game as India lost the advantage of being ahead. India continued from their overnight score of 99 runs. But the hosts lost wickets in regular intervals. India's middle order was undone by Joe Root's part time off spin. England's skipper picked up his maiden five wicket haul and India were bundled out for 145 runs.

Google Glass to help patients in remote areas

Source: Google images
Source: Google images
Source: Google images

New York: Google Glass may be used to effectively extend bedside consults to distant healthcare facilities such as community and rural hospitals to diagnose and manage patients, researchers suggest.

“Glass is positioned perfectly as an emergency medicine telemedical device. It is small, hands free and portable, so you can bring it right to the bedside and have a real-time specialist with you when you need one,” said Peter R. Chai from University of Massachusetts medical school.

Traditional telemedicine devices usually consist of large desktop or laptop computers affixed to a big cart that has to be rolled from one exam room to another exam room.

This limits both access and functionality in a busy emergency room setting.

Through the glass, the physicians can stream video of an exam, take and enlarge photos and consult with remote specialists.

In the study, emergency medicine residents at UMass Memorial Medical Centre performed 18 toxicology consults with Google Glass.

Physicians wearing Google Glass evaluated the patients at bedside while a secure video feed was sent to the toxicology supervising consultant. The supervising consultant then guided the resident through text messages displayed on the Glass.

With Google Glass, consulting toxicologists were more confident in diagnosing specific toxidromes.

Additional data collected showed that the use of Google Glass also changed management of patient care in more than half of the cases seen.

Specifically, six of those patients received antidotes they otherwise would not have.

“Placing an expert at the virtual bedside of the patient has huge advantages. It brings a specialist to patients that might not otherwise have access to that kind of expertise,” Chai said.

Because Google Glass is relatively unobtrusive to patients, can be operated hands free and is extremely portable, it has a distinct advantage over traditional telemedicine platforms,” he added.

The study was published in the Journal of Medical Toxicology.

JSC Recommends Appointment of 30 Judges to Specialized Courts

30 judges to be appointed in the Environment and Land Court (ELC)

JSC Chairperson, Chief Justice David Maraga (left), during interviews for shortlisted candidates on July 9. The Maraga-led panel says the recommendations “took into account constitutional and statutory parameters”/FILE – JUDICIARY PUBLIC AFFAIRS

The Judicial Service Commission (JSC) has recommended the appointment of 30 judges to the Environment and Land Court (ELC) and the Employment and Labour Relations Court (ELRC) in a move that will see the number of judges assigned to the two specialized courts increase to 75 from the current 45.

The Chief Justice David Maraga-led panel says the recommendations “took into account constitutional and statutory parameters”.
20 of the judges have been recommended for appointment to ELC while 10 will assume duties at the ELRC. The JSC is required under Article 172 (1) (a) of the Constitution (2010) to: “promote and facilitate the independence and accountability of the judiciary and the efficient, effective and transparent administration of justice and shall- (a) recommend to the President persons for appointment as judges”.

The environment court which has exclusive and appellate jurisdiction on environment and land-related matters currently has 33 judges sitting in 26 counties.

The labour relations court which hears original and appeal cases arising from employment and labour disputes currently has 12 judges stationed in Nairobi, Mombasa, Kisumu, Eldoret, Nyeri, Kericho, and Nakuru.

JSC said in a statement a total of 389 applications were received following an advert placed on local dailies on February 2 out of which 63 candidates were shortlisted for ELC and 29 for ELRC.

Judiciary Building
Judiciary Building.

The shortlisted candidates were interviewed between July 9 and August 8.

Those listed for appointment as ELC judges are Mboya Oguttu Joseph, Naikuni Lucas Leperes, Mwanyale Michael Ngolo, Makori Evans Kiago, Addraya Eda Dena, Kimani Lilian Gathoni, Kamau Joseph Mugo, Wabwoto Karoph Edward, Koross Anne Yatich Kipingor and Gicheru Maxwell Nduiga.

Others are Mogeni Ann Jacqueline Akhalemesi Anam, Ongarora Fred Nyagaka, Christopher Kyania Nzili, Mugo David Mwangi, Cheruiyot Elizabeth Omange, Omollo Lynette Achieng’, Washe Emmanuel Mutwana, Nyukuri Annet, Murigi Theresa Wairimu and Asati Esther.

Those recommended for appointment to the ELRC are Gakeri Jacob Kariuki, Baari Christine Noontatua, Keli Jemimah Wanza, Mwaure Anna Ngibuini, Matanga Bernard Odongo Manani, Rutto Chemtai Stella, Kebira Ocharo, Okeche Harrison Ogweno, Kitiku Agnes Mueni-Nzel and Nderitu David Njagi.

The two specialized courts – ELC and ELRC – are listed as superior courts alongside the Supreme Court, the Court of Appeal, and the High Court under Article 162 (1) of the Constitution (2010).

The shortlisting of the 30 persons for appointment as judges of the specialized courts with a High Court status comes just three months after the JSC forwarded the names of 11 candidates for appointment as Court of Appeal judges.

The list forwarded to President Uhuru Kenyatta in April included Justice Odunga George Vincent, Lady Justice Ngugi Grace Mumbi, Justice Odunga George Vincent, Justice Korir Weldon and Justice Msagha Mbogholi.

Others recommended for appointment were Justice Tuiyott Francis, Lady Justice Omondi Hellen Amolo, Lady Justice Nyamweya Pauline, Justice Muchelule Aggrey Otsyula, Justice Kibaya Laibuta and Justice Joel Mwaura Ngugi.

The JSC said at the time it was seeking to increase the number of judges assigned to the Court of Appeal from the current 19 to 30.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) however voiced criticism over the listing of the 11 appellate court judges citing exclusion of candidates from private practice.

LSK said in July the proposed list did not bring out diversity of experience from the bar, bench and academia.

Documentary on Metro system returns to national screens

An ITV documentary looking at everyday life on the Tyne and Wear Metro is returning to screens again.

Tuesday, 6th April 2021, 3:46 pm
An ITV documentary on the Tyne and Wear Metro is returning to national screens.

Metro: A Rail Life Story is a four-part documentary series giving a unique insight into day to day operations on the Metro system as it gears up to celebrate its 40th anniversary – prior to the Covid-19 pandemic.

The programme, filmed in 2019 and first shown in early 2020, is being rerun on ITV1. Episode one airs tonight (Tuesday) at 11.40pm.

Nexus, the public body which owns and manages Metro, gave unprecedented access to film crews over the busy summer of 2019.

Customer Services Director at Nexus, Huw Lewis, said: “We’re delighted that the ITV documentary about Metro is to be screened again on national television.

“It was a huge honour for us to be part of this programme in Metro’s 40th anniversary year. It affords viewers the chance to see some of the challenges that we face to keep the Metro service operating for its passengers.

“The filming took place before Covid-19 had ever happened, so it’s a snapshot of what our lives were like before lockdown and social distancing.

“Metro remains part of everyday life and has become a regional icon over the last four decades.

“I hope everyone enjoys watching the series just as much as they did the first time it that it was aired.”

The first episode features thousands of people using Metro to get the Spice Girls concert at Sunderland’s Stadium of Light.

The ITV series showed Metro staff dealing with day-to-day issues including fare evasion, customer services, infrastructure maintenance and managing its ageing fleet of trains.

How to Goose a Cold Audience

At marathon sitcom tapings, Mark Sweet, a former Willy Wonka impersonator, has been indispensable to Chuck Lorre, Roseanne Barr, and the late Garry Shandling.

The other day, after ninety minutes of solitary yoga on the floor of his home office, in Bel Air, Mark Sweet drove to Stage 20 on the Warner Bros. lot, in Burbank, to preside over the audience during a taping of the CBS sitcom “Mom.” Sweet, a sixty-eight-year-old magician and hypnotist who used to work as a professional Willy Wonka impersonator, wore a gray sweater, black jeans, and Gucci loafers. He carried a small black bag of magic tricks, as he does most Tuesdays and Fridays, when he keeps studio audiences “warm”—primed to laugh loudly at scripted jokes—between takes and reshoots.

Mark SweetIllustration by João Fazenda

Sweet took a seat in the empty house to watch the dress rehearsal of the week’s episode. “If you actually distill the comedy, it’s about the laughs,” he said. “I’m the front line of that.” Each week’s audience supplies the episode’s recorded laughter. Sweet, the liminal space between the audience and the show, supervises this precarious choreography. The taped laughs are doctored only to edit out the occasional strange shriek or squeal.

The twenty-two minutes that air on television are culled from many hours of stop-and-start taping in front of a group of restless human beings. Sweet is an emollient so crucial that he is known as the “king” of audience warmup. Garry Shandling used to arrange “The Larry Sanders Show” tapings around Sweet’s schedule.

“With the audience, it’s like bullfighting,” Sweet said. “Either they have you, or you have them.”

Outside, on the studio lot, a guy with a long gray ponytail and a red beret, who works for a company called Audiences Unlimited, wrangled a couple hundred unvetted audience members into a single-file line. They surrendered their cell phones, and, later, were handed slices of pizza in Styrofoam containers. When the company has trouble filling the seats, it pays organizations looking to fund-raise—senior centers, halfway houses, sororities, the Marines—to come pack the audience. Once inside, they become Sweet’s responsibility.

When the run-through was finished, Sweet walked onto the stage, through the set for the house where Anna Farris’s and Allison Janney’s characters live. Conferring with the first and second assistant directors, he reviewed a forty-five-second laugh from the previous week, provoked by a character throwing salt over her shoulder into a baby’s bassinet.

The audience traipsed in, and Sweet milled around, greeting people: “Are you folks ready to laugh? Are you ready to be part of television history?”

Desiré Gonzales, a writer who attends the tapings every week with her mother, sat in the back row. “We want to see the shows, but we also want to learn the business, get familiar with the four-camera setup,” Gonzalez said. “You’ll see the writers huddling around the director, looking to see what works, thinking about reactions and changes.”

With everyone seated, Sweet opened a bag of fun-sized chocolate bars, which he keeps on hand to throw into the audience as a reward for clapping. “It’s a three-ring circus,” he said. “There’s the performance down there on the stage, with the actors. Then, there’s my little lab going on up here, with the magic. And then all the dynamics going on in the audience.”

While the cast set up for the first scene, Sweet performed a magic trick with a twenty-dollar bill, then started a break-dancing competition between a schoolteacher from Ohio and a teen-ager visiting from China.

“You have to be attuned to everyone—it’s very precise, like a ballet,” he said. “The live audience sets up the timing and the tone. We find laughs that aren’t even in the script.”

Sweet was in the middle of pretending to cut off a woman’s finger when the A.D. alerted him that they were ready to roll. “Sweetheart, have a seat,” Sweet told the woman. “And remember: it’s about your energy, about your laugh. Keep the laughter very strong, folks.”

For the next two hours, the writers and the producers reworked the episode in front of the twitchy onlookers. Sweet kept them distracted.

“If you lose the audience, you’re screwed,” Sophia Lear, a producer who worked with Sweet on “Living Biblically,” another CBS comedy, said. “You never get them back. A bad warmup is a blunt instrument—blasting hip-hop music, screaming things into a mike. It’s hell.”

The taping dragged into its third hour. “I’m using the power of waking suggestion”—a hypnosis term—“to get the audience to understand that they’re part of television history,” Sweet said later. “My entire energy is devoted to getting each of them to realize: we’re the other characters in this play.” ♦

Exhibition: International Architecture & Design Showcase (2012)

Title: Sunbird Pavilion, International Architecture & Design Showcase

Team: Palestine Regeneration Team (PART) on behalf of Palestine

Collaborators: On behalf of Palestine and in collaboration with the Palestinian Embassy in the UK  and British Council

Location:Dreamspace Gallery

Dates: 2012

We propose an interactive pavilion/installation that will display some actual ‘live’ and speculative projects that we are currently undertaking in Palestine in collaboration with different bodies there. These projects celebrate the Palestinian cultural landscape and its many hidden, yet highly creative, layers. As such, the aim is to reveal the possibilities for wrapping and stitching together the fragmented urban fabric of Palestinian neighbourhoods.

In addition, the interactive pavilion will demonstrate through its own built skin some simple everyday practices and ‘invisible’ technologies that could help Palestinian families to enhance their environmental conditions through wrapping (greater thermal comfort), breathing (more fresh air and light), and reducing energy use (conserving natural resources).

Our design interventions are all part of an ongoing project currently taking place for regenerating many of the historic centres across Palestine. The interventions promote alternative and indeed unique ways of looking at heritage, conservation and environmental sustainability. All of them are also inspired by local cultural practices and the daily habits of citizens.

World Championship: Faksa, Czechs come up short in bid for bronze

Stars center finishes with four points at the tournament as Czech Republic falls to Russia in a shootout

by Mark Stepneski @StarsInsideEdge / Inside Edge

Stars center Radek Faksa and the Czech Republic fell short in their bid for a bronze medal at the 2019 IIHF World Championship Sunday, falling to Russia in a shootout, 3-2, at Ondrej Nepela Arena in Bratislava, Slovakia.

Lightning goaltender Andrei Vasilevskiy stopped all four Czech attempts in the shootout, and Nikita Gusev and Los Angeles' Ilya Kovalchuk both scored in the skills competition for Russia, which picked up a medal at the tournament for the fifth time in the last six years while pushing the Czech's medal drought to seven years.

All four goals in regulation came in the first 20:39, and it stayed a 2-2 game through the rest of the second and third periods and ten-minute overtime despite the Czechs outshooting the Russians by a wide margin, including 24-7 over the final 30 minutes leading up to the shootout.

Faksa had no points, five shots on goal and a minus-1 rating in 16:24 of ice time. Faksa, who centered the fourth line Sunday with Washington's Jakub Vrana and Tampa Bay's Ondrej Palat on this wings, won 9 of 17 faceoffs.

The Stars center finished the tournament with four points (one goal, three assists) in seven games. Faksa won 68 of 112 faceoffs (60.7 percent), finishing 12th at the tournament in faceoff winning percentage.

Finland won the gold medal, upsetting Canada, 3-1, in the championship game. Marko Anttila scored two goals, and Kevin Lankinen stopped 43 shots for the Finns who won their third gold medal at the Worlds and first since 2011. Finland, which had just a couple of NHL players on its roster, knocked off Sweden, Russia, and Canada -- all of which were stacked with NHL talent -- in the playoff round to take the gold medal.

Stars defenseman John Klingberg also played at the World Championship, recording four points (two goals and two assists) in five games for Sweden, which was eliminated in the quarterfinal round by Finland. Klingberg finished fourth at the tournament in average ice time (23:14 per game).

Sunday's medal games

Bronze: Russia 3, Czech Republic 2 (SO)
Gold: Finland 3, Canada 1

Temptations from the Food Network New York City Wine and Food Fest

Get ready for some gratuitous food porn!

Last weekend I was busy tasting many delicious things at the Food Network New York City Wine and Food Festival. Last year I got the chance to take photos for a couple of events (Fried and Rock and Bowl)  put together by Mina Productions, and they invited me back to take pics of three events this year.

I’m not going to bore you with too many words this time, I'm mostly  just  going to show you some deliciously tempting pictures.

First up was Shake & Bake with Whoopi Goldberg, Art Smith and guest DJ Questlove on Thursday night.

Whoopi Goldberg, Art Smith and DJ Questlove

This event was all about the fried chicken. Restaurants from all around down showcased their take on this comfort food.

Here are some favorites:

Fried Yard Bird and Auntie's Slaw

The Fried Yard Bird from Red Rooster Harlem is one of my favorites. I loved trying it so much at last year's Fried event, I went and had it for my birthday this year.

Joanne Trattoria set up

I didn't get a great shot of the dish itself, despite much help from the chef -- lighting was just too dark-- but Art Smith's Buttermilk Fried Chick on Joanne's Pecorino Waffle was really interesting take on the sweet and savory classic combo.

Ken & Cook's Fried Chicken

Ken & Cook's Buttermilk Fried Chicken was also amazing.

Really, they all were. But we're not done yet, there were some awesome desserts too.

Liquid Klondike from Catch

The Liquid Klondike from Catch was a trip and a half.  It  was devils food cake on a chocolate potato chip cookie, covered with chocolate and potato chip crunches.  I'd say this was gourmet stoner food at its best.

On the simpler side, these Pumpkin Spice & Gluten free Candied Yam Cookies from Schmackary's were also super addictive.

Schmackary's Pumpkin Spice & Gluten-Free Candied Yam Cookies

It was all so good, here's the full slideshow:

Next up were two beautiful brunches at Core: Club over the weekend.

On Saturday, I got to sample some Southern Cooking as the Core Club’s own Executive Chef teamed up with Chef Josh Feathers of Blackberry Farm in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee for the Blackberry Farm Brunch.

Just in case I hadn't had enough fried chicken, I got to start the day with one more taste:

Buttermilk Fried Chicken

But there was a lot more. Here are a few more dishes:

Smoked Salmon Loin

The Smoked Salmon Loin with chickpea panisse, beet caramel, spiced mustard, and shaved vegetables, was delicate and beautiful.

Bacon Pickled Pork Belly with Ramp Kraut and Fried Egg and Spicy Hollandaise

The Bacon Pickled Pork Belly with Ramp Kraut and Fried Egg and Spicy Hollandaise was soooooo indulgent.

Apple Peanut Butter French Toast with Sorghum Brown Butter Buttermilk Sorbet

PBJ and French Toast together -- why didn't anyone ever think of this before? -- Apple Peanut Butter French Toast with Sorghum Brown Butter Buttermilk Sorbet.

Here's the whole spread:

I was really excited to receive Blackberry Farm's new cookbook. I can't wait to dive into it:

On Sunday, Chefs Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune in the East Village and Hedy Goldsmith of Michael’s Genuine Food & Drink in Miami put together a Whimisical Brunch to tickle the fancy of those who think brunch is just an excuse to indulge your sweet tooth.

There were a few savory items first, including bloody mary's, a smoked fish appetizing platter, and this fried egg and chickpea dish. I loved the spicy, saucy chickpeas with the egg and the tapenade. So good.

Butter-crumbed egg with spicy stewed chickpeas, parsley leaves and preserved lemons

Then they started to roll out the sweeter dishes, starting with these Ricotta Pancakes.

Ricotta pancakes

This candied bacon may be one of the best things I've ever put in my mouth:

Candied Bacon

As if that wasn't enough, before the brunch was over there were many more pastries, candies and sweets like this Marcona Almond Brittle.
marcona almond brittle

I mentioned recently how much I love biscotti -- I think these might be the best I've ever had!

That's just a few of the sweet treats, here are the rest:

I'm planning on getting the book just to get that biscotti recipe:

Beyond getting to taste the amazing food, this year I got the extra perk of getting to go behind the scenes. It is amazing to be able to see professionals at work. When things are in the weeds, it can be ugly in the kitchen, but when things are going well, it’s more like a well-choreographed ballet, and it’s really cool to watch.

In addition to getting to watch this dance and to taste the wonderful food, all proceeds from these events benefit the Food Bank For New York City and Share our Strengths.

International Collaboration

In its international work, the National Judicial Institute (NJI) seeks to strengthen the rule of law through judicial education and judicial reform. International development and the attainment of the UN’s Millennium Development Goals are often stalled by the effects of weak or fragile governance and rule of law. Through strengthening judicial institutions, progress can be made towards poverty alleviation and development.

Judicial education is an integral companion to effective and sustainable judicial reform. Working closely with partners in Canada and in developing countries, the NJI, through its International Cooperation Group (ICG) responds to requests for judicial expertise from around the world. The NJI’s contribution focuses on capacity building of judicial education institutions, the design and delivery of judicial education projects and other initiatives in judicial reform where the Institute has a comparative advantage. NJI has undertaken multi-year judicial reform work in a long list of countries as diverse as Australia, Chile, China, Ethiopia, Ghana, Jamaica, Mexico, New Zealand, Pakistan, Philippines, Peru, Rwanda, Russia and Scotland, among others.

The involvement of the Canadian judiciary in international work is grounded in its reputation for being socially aware, ethical and progressive. Canada’s bilingual and bijural legal system reflects its multicultural society, and has provided Canadian judges with the ideal background for collaborating with their counterparts around the world.
