Lectures, Podcast and Etc

Thursday July 7th 2016

58f24649a6f0cd4050706c9c5b1d3fd0Mars Retrograde in Scorpio has been in my third house. Here are some things that happened.

• My car got rear-ended and I was without wheels for most of June. Third house rules vehicles.

• My Dad was rushed into hospital for a blood transfusion — Mars went across the IC (parents).

• My buddy Andrea, who is working on the podcast with me, was struck down by a really debilitating illness. Third house rules chums and talking, which is what we do together.

Thankfully, Andrea is going to be OK and we will be broadcasting again, working on making the show showier over time. Although we’re going to work on something for this month, I don’t think we’ll be back on track until Mars gets well out of the shadow at the end of August.

I bought a new car two days ago which is just about my favourite car ever, so thank you Mars.

My Dad is much better — his life was saved by the French national health service.

Speaking of the third house, I think I’d better tell you about some talks I’m giving in the months. As you may know, I don’t get out much — family responsibilities keep me close to home — so I’m quite excited. Perhaps you can make it to one of these.

Meanwhile, I am on BBC Radio Oxford, the first Friday of every month on the Alex Lester show at about 3.30. Tune in or listen again on BBC iPlayer.

The State We’re In

What does astrology have to tell us about these tumultuous times? Can we find historical precedents? And how can we work with these energies to try to make the world a better place

November 21

The Astrological Lodge of London

The Mirror of Time: Neptune in Pisces

Can we see parallels in art, literature and fashions of the 1850s with the 20teens? And could this help you create the best artistic response to the times we live in now?

Haven’t quite decided what to talk about yet.

The Oxford Astrology Group is also planning a mixed day of talks, but we have yet to fix the date. Probably February. I’ll be contributing something then too.

    Always nice when there’s a happy ending! This Mars retrograde reminds me of the 1953 movie, “Invaders from Mars”:
    “Following a large explosion, David is suddenly back in his bed. Thunder and lighting are heard again, as in the beginning of the film. He runs into his parents’ bedroom, confused and frightened; they reassure him he was just having a bad dream, telling him to go back to sleep. Having returned to his bed, more wind and loud thunder is heard. David then climbs out of bed again, goes to his window, and witnesses the very same flying saucer of his dream slowly descending into the sandpit; the screen then holds on young David and dissolves to the film’s ‘The End’ title card, as the film’s ethereal music plays.”

  2. As Leo rising( Cap Sun) I have Mars/Saturn conj in my 4th at zero degrees and Mars is going to make a final pass over this conjunction. I haven’t wanted to leave the house other than to go somewhere locally and I’ve withdrawn from communication as it leaves me exhausted. I will be glad when he goes on his merry way. Glad things are looking better for you Christina.

    • Christina says:

      It’s really been OK — once I knew Andrea and my Dad were stable. Like you I haven’t been anywhere — and I also haven’t been able to write much. But it’s been quite relaxing as long as I didn’t try to do anything.

  3. Saverne says:

    Good to hear dear ones are well and you’ve got a new ride!
    It’s been in my 2nd moving back to the 3rd. There might be more to say when mars and Saturn get together on my natal Neptune there.
    Btw at my husbands work there was a diversity event several weeks ago and it was nice to learn there is a small group from Oxford 🙂

  4. My Mars retrograde has been gruesome…a pre-moral broke just after I had signed my resignation from work…I waited for 3 months until I could face my fears and the ordeal. I am now one tooth less…a bit shaken…and faced a dragon…

A Few Holiday Swans

I don’t have much to say today, I just thought I’d share a few random Trumpeter images taken recently.  My best wishes to anyone paying a visit during the holidays.

Birds of the Great Confluence – Part One – Riverlands MBS and Confluence SP

The Great Rivers Confluence is the area where North America’s two largest rivers, the Missouri and the Mississippi, meet together and flow as the Mississippi.  This confluence is just north of St. Louis, Missouri and provides many opportunities for birds along the Mississippi migratory flyway to find the habitat they need.  These areas provide great opportunities for bird-watchers, hunters, and other outdoors types and go by names such as Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary, Jones Confluence State Park, Columbia Bottom Conservation Area, Marais Temps Clair CA, and a handful of other public properties that have been given mandates based on conserving the basic habitat that wild birds and our other wildlife kin rely upon for their existence.

I have been bird watching in this region for about five years and taking bird photographs here for the last two or three.  In this post, I will be showcasing six of my favorite images I have made at Riverlands MBS and Confluence SP.  I will feature another group taken at Columbia Bottom CA, which sets on the south side of the Missouri River at another time.

Technical details: Canon EOS 50D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 640,  f/5.6, 1/800 sec

The bird pictured above is an Osprey, also known as the Fish Hawk and is one of several species of conservation concern that benefit from the types of refuge that Riverlands and the other preserved and well-managed habitats in the confluence region provide.  These birds feed almost exclusively on fish so it is of no surprise that these birds utilize the Mississippi River and surrounding waterways during their migration for their supper.  These birds will use man-made structures, such as telephone poles to build their nests.  At RMBS you can find special structures designed for this specific purpose.  To my knowledge, these structures have not been used but the birds have nested in trees nearby for the past several years.

Technical details: Canon EOS 50D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 400,  f/5.6, 1/640 sec

Probably the best known group of birds that rely on the habitat of the confluence region are the waterfowl.  In this day and age, hunting has been one of the bright spots in conservation and management of the types of habitat that ducks and swans rely on during migration.  Without hunters and the money they spend we probably would have lost much more land to development along the Mississippi flyway than we have.  The number of waterfowl hunters has decreased over the past few decades, while the number of bird-watchers, nature photographers and other conservation-minded types has increased.  This is somewhat ironical because organizations that have relied on funds generated from hunting to purchase, protect and manage wetlands are now experiencing budget shortages.  Bird-watching, photography and hiking do not, naturally put money back into the system.  If a new method of fundraising is not found, we may be facing a crisis in the management and protection of these wetlands and the chance to procure new properties for this purpose.  An obvious solution would be for private donations to be given by anyone interested in the protection of these habitats.  Anyone can purchase Duck Stamps, which monies go into managing habitats in which migratory waterfowl rely.

Technical details: Canon EOS 50D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 640,  f/5.6, 1/400 sec

Other groups of birds, the waders, shorebirds, songbirds and others also rely on the habitat found at Riverlands.  This Yellow-crowned Knight Heron, for instance, is a species that is seldomly found here.  One early August morning I came across a group of these juveniles who were making their way south through the Mississippi flyway together.  As you can see, their colors and patterns make them difficult to spot in almost any natural habitat.

Technical details: Canon EOS 50D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 250,  f/6.3, 1/1600 sec

Winter gulls are a very challenging group of birds to identify.  During normal winters, unlike the tropical winter we are experiencing this year, several rare northern migrants can be found along the dam and other man-made structures.  During the dead of winter it is not uncommon to find groups of experienced birders shivering under the frigid temperatures and gale-force winds at the lock and dam at Riverlands looking at hard to distinguish, rather drab gulls through 60X scopes hoping to find that rare gull to add to their year list.  I have done a little of this myself and it can become addicting!  These cute and graceful Bonaparte’s Gulls are rather earlier migrants that favor warmer weather than many other gulls.

Technical details: Canon EOS 50D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 400,  f/5.6, 1/800 sec

Another challenging group of birds that will have the uber-birder skipping work, church and ignoring family is the shore-birds.  These birds, whom I have recently become enamored with, move through the confluence region mostly during March-May in the spring and August-October in the fall.  These are beautiful, photogenic and biologically fascinating and diverse birds.  The shorebirds are almost strictly a migratory group concerning the confluence region.  These birds have some of the largest migratory routes in the animal kingdom and their routes across Missouri and Illinois vary and can be tricky in predicting.  Farming and other land development practices are hurting this group badly across their migratory route.  Most species of shorebird have pretty narrow requirements or preferences when it comes to the particular habitat and water depth they need to thrive.  Managing a wetland becomes troublesome when the specific needs for a species is considered and skilled management practices are a must.  Unfortunately, almost half of the shorebirds of the new-world are experiencing declining populations, due almost solely to man-made influences.  Serious action needs to be taken to preserve these populations.  You can read more about this by reading the United States Shorebird Conservation Plan.

Technical details: Canon EOS 7D camera, EF400mm f/5.6L USM lens, ISO 400,  f/5.6, 1/800 sec

Next to the Bald Eagle, the Trumpeter Swan may be the most recognized bird species of conservation concern that calls the confluence region home during the winter.  Upwards of 400 of these birds and lower numbers of the similar, Tundra Swan can be seen in a single day at Riverlands and surrounding area.  These birds are rugged survivors that spend the majority of their day searching the surrounding farm fields for wasted grain and overnighting in the sanctuary’s water bodies.  These birds, the world’s heaviest that are still capable of flight, are a treasure to watch and photograph.

I often tell people that photographing birds is simultaneously the most rewarding and the most frustrating experience I can think of.  For each of these six images that I am relatively proud of there are at least 500 that were unusable.  Fortune favors the prepared photographer who understands not only how to use their equipment, but understands the behavior of the birds they are after.  Getting close is key, but not getting so close as to disturb the natural behavior and sense of security these wild animals should expect to have.  This is often a fine line.

The confluence region where the Big Muddy and the Father of Waters join was once one of the greatest wetlands areas in all the temperate regions of the world.  Farming and urban sprawl have made considerable changes to these natural habitats.  We can do something to maintain and potentially repair some of what has been lost.

Inner Knowing

Here is a something I noted in 2009 written by Constance Kellough, author, and president of Namaste Publishing.

“A felt perception enables us to just know the truth of something as well as to know what we need to do. As such, this faculty of inner knowing is our life’s guide, the source of our wisdom, if we choose to use it. It’s where we are connected to the infinite divine consciousness that originated and sustains the universe.”

I like to think of the infinite divine consciousness as the Holy Spirit, who as part of God who lives in us, also lives in us.

Psalm 46:10 says, “Be still and know that I am God.”

The reason for this post is that I myself have experienced this inner knowing on occasion and believe we all do at some point in our lives. It’s like everything else in life, awareness is key.

What Does Being Terminally Unique Reveal About You?

Having an addiction or a mental illness can make it appear that you are dissimilar to others by making you feel dejected from the people around you.

You may have thoughts that no one will understand me or why is this only happening to me? Chances are that someone has the same issues that are making you feel different from everyone else. You, however, choose to keep feeling terminally unique instead looking for the similarities in others that can set you free.

You affix yourself on being alone.

Having silent turmoil only makes your personal struggle more problematic. Isolating yourself with your problems gives leeway in allowing fear the chance to take the command over you. Fear is usually at the root of all hardship which can make you feel like you are not at the right caliber to be around others. Do not let fear disguise itself to provoke you into thinking that you are not worthy. You are. You most definitely are.

You will not let yourself be understood.

There could be people out there that may not understand your situation, but there are people that will understand you. Stop looking at the people that do not have the capacity to comprehend what you are going through and start searching for the people that do have discernment for you. Stick with like-minded people so that you can do whatever it takes to feel like you are part of a group.

You think you are beyond getting some relief.

If you think you are too far gone to deserve any sort of help, that is just not true. There are people in the recovery world that will have nothing but compassion for what you are going through. By thinking that you are unsuitable to alleviate any discomfort you are going through, you are actually self-inflicting yourself with terminal uniqueness that will keep you from gaining the guidance that you need to feel better.

You think others cannot compare to you.

This is not comparison in a high and mighty way, but in a lowly and less-than kind of way. Your perception is one that thinks that others could not possibly be as a bad as you. The truth is that everyone has skeletons in their closet and if someone thinks they are better than you then you probably do not need their support or company anyways.

Being unique is what you are meant to be. Instead of being terminally unique, you should own that you are an original, exceptional individual that has much to offer this world.

MeRT℠ Brain Treatment

Pacific Solstice offers MeRT℠ (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) to address underlying causes of chemical imbalances in the brain. MeRT℠ is a non-invasive procedure that includes a combination of technologies magnetic transcranial stimulation and electroencephalogram (EEG) to provide individualized relief, while optimizing brain function. We are the preferred provider of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) using Magnetic eResonance Therapy (MeRT) to reduce stress, improve focus, relieve trauma or injury and treat more than one complaint or presenting problem though this prong of our integrated care. As we understand sources of inflammation in the brain and analyze individual brain patterns, we will stimulate the brain to communicate properly. MeRT℠ is a patented, evidence-based, FDA-approved procedure. Our doctor pairs MeRT℠ with psychotherapy, circadian rhythm rebalancing and functional medicine to provide the best results. It is common for a patient to feel relief within five sessions, but within 3 months, cognitive and behavioral changes. Most sessions last 30 - 45 minutes. It's our objective to help you be as informed about your brain as we are; leaving you behind as we get to work on your body is not an option. Your goals are as valuable as the things that make you unique and a true phenomenon. We hope we can even perceive some of your needs before you say them - that's how much we are interested in making your treatment plan comprehensive, delivering it with world class professionalism. Using the best technology and sharing enhanced coping and neurological care is the path we choose for the families we serve.

Functional medicine treatment may include variations of the following: evaluation and treatment of hypometabolic state, fatigue, adrenal function, thyroid function, gut or inflammation, hormone imbalances. This often requires specialized laboratory testing (blood, urine, stool, saliva) to evaluate. Treatment is achieved with micronutrient supplementation, adaptogenic herbs, or bioidentical hormones. These interventions are bridged and layered with conventional methods to ensure long term mental stability. Although MeRT℠ is successful on its own, without the functional and trauma informed methods we’ve developed, we are not willing to provide this treatment without treating the whole person. There will be extensive education on how underlying issues may be affecting mood, addiction or cognitive delays. Your long term success is our pursuit and we would love to co-pilot your success as you learn how to care for body, mind and spirit.

Contact our admissions team to see what options are available to you!

Disclaimer: Functional medicine is evidence-informed medicine and all methods are adapted from the Institute of Functional Medicine and the Kalish Institute.

Essence mag execs named in exposé step down after tumultuous week

A group going by Black Female Anonymous penned a scathing exposé about Essence magazine and demanded that four top execs step down — and now all four are out, sources told Page Six.

The group declared victory — but Essence denied their allegations and is insisting that the explosive post on Medium did not cause the staff changes, which were already in the works.

Richelieu Dennis resigned as interim CEO, Page Six reported on Wednesday, but will remain on as the chairman of Essence. Now we’ve heard that COO Joy Collins Profet, board member Michelle Ebanks and chief content officer Moana Luu — who were mentioned in the piece that alleged a toxic workplace at Essence — have also followed suit.

Caroline Wanga was announced as interim CEO. But Essence said in a statement that Dennis “never held a CEO role … interim or otherwise,” after multiple outlets reported he’d stepped down as CEO. The magazine also claimed that Ebanks “has had no role in day-to-day operations since her departure” as CEO on March 31, and that “Profet notified the company of her departure two months ago … before the anonymous blog was posted.”

The company also said, “Luu will be recused from day-to-day operations” during an independent review. The execs have not individually commented beyond Essence’s statements.

A source told us: “This is a very serious situation and there’s more than [Dennis] … There are steps being taken.” Another source said, “People would not be stepping down, or out, unless there was a verifiable problem.”

The brand’s former global beauty director, Julee Wilson — who said she’s not part of Black Female Anonymous but implied on her Instagram story that she believes the women — added of Wanga: “She’s amazing. I’m confident she’ll be able to help usher Essence into a new era of dopeness.”

The group also has support from fashion vets and activists such as Bethann Hardison and Michaela Angela Davis. Black Female Anonymous has hinted it could release more info.

We can accept payment for missed appointments by card or bank transfer.

We reserve the right to refuse appointment requests or to cancel appointments.

We schedule all workshops carefully and with the intention that they will go ahead as planned. All workshops must be paid for in full at the time of booking.

We may decide to cancel a workshop, for example if we do feel we have enough bookings to make it a worthwhile workshop experience. If we cancel a workshop, we will offer you a refund or a place on another workshop.

We are not responsible for reimbursing any travel or accommodation costs you may be responsible for.

You can change your mind and cancel a workshop booking, provided there is still 30 days or more before the workshop is scheduled to run. You can’t change your mind about attending a workshop after it has run.

If you cancel your workshop booking with less than 30 days to go before the workshop, you do not have the right to either a refund or a place on another workshop. However, if we have someone on a waiting list who can take your place we will exercise our discretion.

Musician of the week: Giveon

Illustration by Ethan Gullett

Adrianne Kristianto, Social Media Coordinator

From collaborating with Sevn Thomas and Snoh Aalegra to being featured on Drake’s “Chicago Freestyle,” the emerging R&B singer Giveon has swooned the ears of many listeners with his ardent vocals. The California-bred vocalist recently released his latest EP, “Take Time,” on March 27, giving R&B enthusiasts something to rejoice for during self-isolation. With his baritone delivery, Giveon has mended many heartaches through songs like “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY,” “LIKE I WANT YOU” and “VANISH.” Giving a new connotation to R&B, Giveon’s raw talent is slowly but surely garnering the recognition it deserves.

Though his vocals are highly evocative of Sampha’s, the Long Beach singer set his music apart from most R&B/soul musicians with cavernous hums; intense, reverberated chord progressions; and, predominantly, his way of writing tainted love letters.

When asked about his upbringing and inspirations, Giveon mentioned that, despite his constant exposure to “old school Aretha Franklin, Mary J. Blige, and all that,” from his mother, Giveon captured much of his inspiration from Frank Sinatra. “I had an epiphany after initially hearing [Frank] Sinatra,” he stated to Okayplayer earlier this year. “It was the very first time I heard a baritone singer. I got into Bobby Caldwell and Barry White from there.”

Separate from the artificial R&B musicians who have become comfortable sacrificing their individuality for some numbers, Giveon stated that he doesn’t find R&B interesting.

“The ones I do find interesting are the pioneers of their version of R&B,” he said during a DJBooth interview. “Frank Ocean was the pioneer of his version of R&B. And PARTYNEXTDOOR — he pioneered his style. A lot of times, artists come along and create their own world and then they inspire other artists to make music in that same world. After that, it’s a bunch of copies.”

Though he is considered an R&B/soul artist, Giveon’s take on the state of today’s R&B naturally reflects the distinctive sound in his work, making him one of the few artists who have caught the attention of musicians like Drake, August 08, Snoh Aalegra and many others.

Giveon’s latest EP, “TAKE TIME,” tells the story of his own love tale “that went from sweet to sour.” Comprising eight songs in total, this 24-minute long EP showcases Giveon’s fragility that can be lyrically and sonically felt as he conveys how adrift he felt in his past relationship. Dedicating the first song, “THE BEACH,” to his home state of California serves as a solid introduction, one which features angelic guitar strings. This song is followed by “WORLD WE CREATED,” in which Giveon talks about the satisfying feeling of being in love whilst the strings and light drums reverberate throughout the song. On “THIS AIN’T LOVE,” Giveon takes a trip down a memory lane of an unhealthy relationship that only felt good at the moment, the head-bopping beat coexisting with his airy vocals. Serving as singles for the EP, the emotionally charged ballads “HEARTBREAK ANNIVERSARY” and “LIKE I WANT YOU” conclude the project, along with “VANISH.”

With an undeniable songwriting talent, Giveon is more than just an overnight sensation. His baritone voice is as mesmerizing as it is haunting, serving as more than just a sonic vehicle for his tainted love letters.

New cabinet rejects dialogue offer

Hunza, April 25 : Officials from local administration visited Sost to convey dialogue offer from the former SDP cabinet. According to SDP sources the local community informed administration about the grave situation at port and rejected the offer for dialogue. The representatives of Sost WO have said the local administration to help them in defending the interest of local community. The delegation of local administration was comprised of AC Hunza, SSP Hunza, SHO Gulmit and Naib Tehsildar.

Around three hundred men, women and children have gathered at the port and different speakers are highlighting different issues the dry port faced during the last 9 years. According to sources the local administration had sent a heavy contingent of the police force to deal with any law and order situation but they have been stopped in Ali Abad because of a stay-order obtained by the new cabinet from session court. The safety measure had been taken in view of handling any law and order situation, like the one created by elements close to the previous cabinet during the Oath-taking ceremony at Karim Abad, Central Hunza, last week.

Contrary to rumors spread by elements involved in the previous cabinet, in the national press, the transfer of management authorities of the Silk Route Dry Port has been very peaceful. Our source from Sost told us that not a single pane of glass nor any door had been broken during this public event. People in Gojal and Hunza valley are peaceful and they don’t believe in hostile agitations, the source said.

1 thought on “New cabinet rejects dialogue offer

  1. I don’t understand with whom and on what issues the dialogue was to take place. If it is the previous administration of SDP then it is totally rubbish. Why the people need a dialogue to take possession of what they rightfully own. The previous management was in place because of trickery and divisive politics of a one particular family whose allegiance does not rest with the people of hunza.

An Open Letter to Prime Minister Imran Khan

Open Letter to Prime Minister Pakistan, Imran Khan

Revered Sir,

Your attention is direly needed for addressing the digital crisis and students’ struggle for internet amid the Coronavirus pandemic in the difficult terrain of Gilgit-Baltistan.

Gilgit-Baltistan is among one of the peripheral chunks of Pakistan which has been hard hit by the digital divide. After lockdown, triggered by the CoVID19 pandemic, the students and diaspora of Gilgit-Baltistan living in metropolitan cities moved back towards their homes.

The sudden rush caused a chasm in digital connectivity, as a mammoth mammoth number of users started using the available bandwidth and infrastructure operated by the army-owned Telecommunication Service Provider, i.e., Special Communication Organization (SCO) – the only service provider of Fixed Broadband Internet and Mobile 4G services in GB, under the Ministry of Information Technology.

A large number of students have not been able to attend their online classes and participate in exams conducted by their universities and college, due to slow internet. Eventually, forced by the lack of facilities, many students had to drop and freeze their semesters.

In addition, the returned diaspora has had to face a challenging situation due to bad internet facility in the region because their employees require them to work from home, which is not possible without fast and reliable internet connection. This situation has led to a lot of resentment and frustration in the region.

On July 12,2020, the Chairman of CPEC announced that the Optical Fiber Cable has been operationalised from Khunjrab (Gilgit-Baltistan) to Islamabad. Unfortunately, Gilgit-Baltistan has not been linked to the recently laid Optical Fiber, which passes through the region. This situation has causes anger and resentment which has led to protest demonstrations in different parts of the region.

In the past, a delegation was dispatched by the Federal Government to take local leadership of Gilgit-Baltistan in loop regarding CPEC projects and Optical Fiber. A lot of promises were made with the locals, but they have not been fulfilled.

This situation ha increased grievances of the populace, especially the students suffering from bad internet connection, and distorted and congested mobile coverage in Gilgit-Baltistan. For lack of these facilities, the youth of Gilgit-Baltistan, who are no less in terms of talent or ambition, cannot keep pace with their peers living in the cities.

Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) needs to take immediate steps to complete technical and legal proceedings  to push other telecom operators to start seamless 3G/4G services in GB.

The jurisdiction of Universal Service Fund (USF) may be extended to GB in order to improve telecom network and coverage.

Sir, you are requested to take pragmatic steps and direct the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority, Ministry of Information Technology, Frequency Allocation Board, Gilgit-Baltistan Assembly and other stake holders to resolve the internet Issue in the region.

The students of Gilgit-Baltistan look forward to you as last resort because their education is at stake.

Thanking you in anticipation
#Team Internet for Gilgit-Baltistan

Thou Shalt (Not) Sample? New Drifts in the Ocean of Sampling

Zeitschrift für Geistiges Eigentum / Journal of Intellectual Property Law, ISsue 2/2019, p. 170-198.

27 Pages Posted: 26 Apr 2019 Last revised: 1 Sep 2019

See all articles by Péter Mezei

Péter Mezei

Institute of Comparative Law and Legal Theory

Date Written: March 27, 2019

The status quo of the pre-2014 period with respect to musical sampling was that any taking of the whole or a portion of a sound recording (embodying musical compositions and musical performances) might run against the economic – and, in the Continental European droit d’auteur/Urheberrecht systems, the moral – rights of the respective rightholders (authors, performers and/or sound recording producers). The sampler might excuse himself from liability if the unauthorised use can fit into the frames of any limitation or exception, including the fair use doctrine under the laws of United States. Limitations and exceptions cannot provide any shelter for samplers with respect to moral rights. Both U.S. and German practice have continuously applied such potential excuses tightly. In one of the most important sampling decisions ever, the Sixth Circuit has noted in its bright line rule that the prior authorization is a prerequisite to any lawful sampling (“get a license or do not sample”). Similarly, the Sixth Circuit also refused to apply the exception of de minimis for sampling cases in this ruling.

In the most important German ‘sampling’ ruling, the German Federal Supreme Court (hereinafter: BGH) similarly excluded the applicability of the concept of de minimis, when it found that the sound recording producers’ rights are infringed by the taking of even the smallest of sound samples. Further, it has been declared as a bright-line rule that the sampler cannot apply the concept of “free use” (“freie Benutzung”) of the German Copyright Act, in a case where he could have been able to record the taken segment individually.

Such a limited approach may be dangerous. Sampling has become a fundamental element of modern music industry, especially for hip-hop and electronic musicians. If all samples would require prior authorization, it could chill musical self-expression – an important part of the modern “pop-culture”. Not to mention that a bright-line rule, like the one in Bridgeport, would lead to a de facto monopoly of copyrights, and/or of the rights of sound recording producers, which should not be the ultimate goal of any copyright regime. Naturally, the exact opposite of this argument, namely, that all samplings are to be treated lawfully, is similarly false, and neither will this paper take such a position.

This article aims to introduce the post-2014 U.S. and German sampling rulings. According to the chronologic order, the paper starts with the American cases (Part I), followed by the German rulings (Part II). Part III provides for a critical analysis of the latest developments, and discusses the possible outcomes of the pending Pelham ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union.

Initial Thoughts on Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell: Fantasy Tropes, Pineapple Ale-Houses, and Wishes for 2015

I’m in the middle of Susanna Clarke’s Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell.  Her writing is masterful, clear, assured, and gorgeous. As perfect as you can get.  Mr. Norrell is a somewhat weasel-y, nervous magician, and strikes me as an incarnate of Poe. I’ve met Jonathan Strange as well, who is beginning to come into his own as a magician.

I love the detail in this book. Today I read a passage about a certain ale-house called the “Pineapple [that] had once been the refuge and hiding-place of a notorious thief and murderer.”  What a name for an ale-house! Mr. Norrell’s righthand man Childermass, a man with a somewhat darkly colored conscience and perhaps sinister ulterior motives, meets one of his master’s enemies in the bowels of this alehouse: “Three greasy steps led down from the street-door into a gloomy parlor.  The Pineapple had its own particular perfume, compounded of ale, tobacco, the natural fragrance of the customers and the unholy stink of Fleet River, which had been used as a swear for countless years.”  I just love her writing.

This book is “perfect fantasy” in the sense of common tropes: magic, 19th century, faerie folk, finicky men, sort of Sherlock-y, a Raven king, or anything Raven-ish, towns that end in ‘shire’…  It’s inherently and fabulously British, and I love that, of course.  That being said, part of me asks: haven’t we been here before?

In 2015, I wish for a canonical-feeling fantasy text that’s not inherently British and that does not center around men/boys/Anglos-only, and that perhaps turns these tropes on their heads and introduces new ones. These texts I wish for do exist, but they haven’t been adapted into things such as television shows (BBC is adapting JSAMN– in fact the first episode has already aired) and they haven’t been massively successful from a commercial standpoint with a Western audience.  Commercial success does not have to be an indicator of quality, but whatever the quality, it brings the story to the masses.

What if Jonathan Strange had been Joanna Strange? Or, if the first faerie to appear in the text, the gentleman-with-the-thistle-down-hair who rules over Lost-Hope, were a gentlewoman?  Just a few wonderings amidst much praise…

There were five people who had popped the blisters that had been developing on their feet, and their feet got infected when they crossed the disease-ridden river. When we reached Alcove Spring, the people with infected feet had to sit out from swimming and had to do chores the entire time, because it was unwise to soak their infected feet. they eventually developed calluses, which allowed to walk with ease again. We had to pay an expensive toll of $25 to cross another river, leaving us with $875 for the rest of our journey. The food we brought with us has been getting worse and worse, and to add to it, we cannot find any wood, leaving us to have to cook with cow patties, or cow dung. Luckily, a man had caught some fish that night, and was willing to share with the wagon train. That was a nice change for the taste buds! The next day, we were delayed by a ginormous herd of bison crossing our path. This gave us the lucky opportunity to stop for a bit of time before heading back on our way. I decided to wander off and explore a bit, and I found a buffalo skull. I decided to write a note on it for future travelers. It said: 'Don't waste your food! -IK'
<![CDATA[Oregon Trail - Fictional Travel Log]]>Tue, 24 May 2016 15:29:31 GMThttps://paulsolarz.weebly.com/russell/oregon-trail-fictional-travel-logWhat did we get ourselves into?! We decided to cross the craziest river on the face of the Earth! We had to take our wild oxen across, while a complete stranger took our wagons across. This made me nervous because some nitwits decided to pop their blisters on their feet. Their feet got infected, and the infections kept spreading to the point where their whole leg may have to be amputated! That would be a huge loss for us, because we would probably have to take all of our belongings out of the wagons to let them in. While we were dragging our oxen across the raging river, one of our oxen completely freaked out. It charged at Tyler Smith and trampled him, leaving him almost dead! Tyler now has to ride in the wagon for weeks to recover. While this madman was taking our precious wagons across, he tipped a couple of them over, and we lost a ton of our stuff! To make this whole situation even worse, everybody has been getting unbelievably homesick, which has been preventing them from getting a single wink of sleep! Everybody has been miserably tired and some are even sick or injured. Luckily, we have a nice, long stop ahead at beautiful Alcove Springs. They have fresh water, and lots and lots of space for us to rest. We are going to be staying at this paradise as long as we can before we have to continue on our journey.

<![CDATA[Science Fair - Russell]]>Thu, 05 May 2016 19:23:45 GMThttps://paulsolarz.weebly.com/russell/science-fair-russell
I am glad I recorded before the science fair because i know how to reflect on how I did before and after. I can also see what I did differently each time I present.
By the end of my science fair my project was so much faster. I pretty much had the entire project inside my head. I really liked how lots of people came to my project! I also liked how much more things I knew about it. I saw a mistake inside my slides and I fixed it. I was a lot more fluent when I was talking and a lot more enthusiastic when I was doing it.
Overall, I think that the Science Fair was a valuable experience because...

I definitely made some mistakes along the way, but I learned from them. Here are some examples:

If I were give the chance to do anything differently, I would make sure I didn't turn to the board as much. Talk a little bit different to the little kids even though I did.

Does copywriting matter for estate agents?

Does copywriting matter for estate agents?

You might think I’m biased on this – and you’re absolutely right – but when someone gets a badly written leaflet through their door, or reads the words “property” or “building” or “leasehold” spelt wrongly on an estate agent’s or property developer’s website, it does leave a bad taste in their mouth. And it’s not that uncommon. I’m not sure why the property industry is filled with so many people who have trouble spelling words associated with property, but it does. These people would do well to simply accept that, while spelling is not their best area, they don’t have to plaster illiteracy all over their website, or window, or brochure, or whatever. Help is at hand, and they should take it.

When it comes to marketing property (or your company) well, having great text that really paints a picture of what you’re looking to say is absolutely invaluable. Although spelling mistakes get on my nerves, what I spend more energy on when I see them is laughing at the company that put them there. Potential customers do that too. Don’t go around thinking a minor spelling error or two has no effect and doesn’t matter; it does. No customer who thinks bad spelling is unforgiveable is ever going to call you if you use bad spelling, so you’ll have no idea who you’re missing. On the other hand, nobody is going to give you a miss because you spell things right. So really, what’s the downside in good grammar?

What does copywriting cost? Well, let’s say you spent the grand sum of £500 on having some great copy written for your website or company marketing brochure. Sound like a lot? You could buy an iPad for that, and still have change for a slap-up meal. OK then, how much would it cost you if ONE potential vendor didn’t call you because the text about your company was badly written. I’d say at least 4 times that amount for agents outside London and 8 times upwards for agents in the capital. Now imagine that compounding year on year.

Estate agents who think decent copywriting isn’t important, may as well tell vendors they don’t need an estate agent to sell their home.

The founder and CEO of Ballet crypto, Bobby Lee has expressed his expectations for bitcoin and says that bitcoin is going to surpass gold in total market capitalization by the year 2028.

In a recent interview held on Monday, the former CEO of Bitcoin exchange BTCC has given his views on Bitcoin and gold. During the interview, he has shown his love for both gold and bitcoin. As he said during the interview:

I’m actually a big fan of gold. I don’t get to meet a lot of gold bugs, but I’m certainly one of them…That said, I’m an even bigger fan of Bitcoin. So compared to my gold holdings, my Bitcoin stash is worth even more than my gold stash.

During the interview, he made a comparison between gold and bitcoin. He said that though he is a big fan of gold still he thinks that bitcoin will overtake gold in the next nine years.

The physical gold is round about 180,000 tons and it’s market capitalization is almost $9 trillion while the total market cap of bitcoin at the present time is standing around $150 billion. So it will be a difficult task for bitcoin to take over gold in total market cap value.

At the beginning of this month, CEO Bobby Lee said that the flippening (which is the point at which the market cap of bitcoin would surpass that of gold) will happen in the next nine years.

Bobby Lee said that Gold stands at $8 trillion which is 50 times greater than that of bitcoin market cap value. But during the interview, he said that he believes that bitcoin will skyrocket to $500,000 and take over the gold. As he said:

I truly believe the total value of Bitcoin – which is $160 billion today – will reach and eclipse the value of gold. That’s the true flippening.

During the interview, Lee also talked about the Libra project and Chinese influence. He said that the Chinese government is rapidly adopting the blockchain technology.

3 on Thursday / Bits & Bites

3 on Thursday

This has been a busy week, the first where work has felt stressful. It hasn’t been stressful in a bad way, but there has definitely been some pressure. This Saturday, my in-laws will be coming to the city for an early supper. It will be nice to have some QT with them. It’s also nice that we’ve left the rest of the weekend pretty open and can play it by ear. I have SO MUCH tv to catch up on. It’s just sitting in my dvr, taunting me when I get home late. Hopefully this weekend affords me some time to just sit back and enjoy.

I recently bought some pampas grass and plopped it in two vases I snagged at Target. It’s something so cheap and simple, but it does a lot to pull the room together. We also just commissioned a painting that will go right above these vases. Our place is actually starting to look decorated (with purpose), rather than just thrown together. I still have a good bit left to do, but, piece by piece, it’s coming together.

The work pressure I mentioned was most intense on Tuesday so I was very happy when Hannah randomly reached out to see if I wanted to join her for happy hour that day. A drink + catch-up sesh was much needed.

It is very difficult to find queso (the runny, melted cheese dip found at [typically] low class, inauthentic Mexican restaurants) in NYC but I recently found some, and it made me soooo happy. This was at a trendier Mexican spot so they upped the queso game with cilantro and a couple chopped tomatoes. That cilantro addition was great.
