How do I cut a circle without drilling a center point?
Q:I need to make a half-dozen 8" diameter wood discs for an upcoming project. However, the discs cannot have center marks on either side, and my router trammel and bandsaw circle-cutting jig each require a hole for a pivot point. How can I cut these discs and leave both faces clean?
A:You can use that bandsaw circle-cutting jig, David, but you'll need to supplement it with a scrap of 1/4 " hardboard the size of your disc blanks. First, drill a hole in the center of the hardboard scrap, sized to fit the pin on your bandsaw jig. Attach it to your workpiece using double-faced tape. Place the templatte onto the pivot point and cut the disc to shape. Remove the template, and reuse it to cut the remaining discs. Sand each one smooth, and you're good to go.

The green hairstreak (Callophrys rubi) is a small butterfly in the family Lycaenidae. It has a wingspan reaching about 26 -30 millimetres (1.0 -1.2 in) in length. The overside of the wings is a uniform dull brown, with two paler patches on the male's forewings made up of scent scales. The underside is bright green, with a thin white line that is often reduced to a faint row of dots or even missing altogether. The iridescent green colour of the underside is a structural colour caused by the diffraction and interference of light by microscopic repeating structures forming a diffraction grating in the wing scales. Green hairstreaks can be found at the end of March, with their flight time usually lasting until the end of June, but they are sometimes seen in July and early August. They never rest with their wings open, to maintain their green camouflage. The males exhibit territorial behaviour.

Indian filmmakers at the Berlinale 70 (2020): Pushpendra Singh, Rima Das, and Akshay Indikar; ‘The Shepherdhess and Seven Songs’, 14plus international jury member and ‘Sthalpuran’, respectively… (‘Eeb Allay Ooo’ to follow)
By: Asian Culture Vulture
Berlin has come and gone but as with all things on the festival circuit many of the films and personalities (will) return in one form or another and we were able to talk to some of the the Indian contingent invited there…
by Tatiana Rosenstein
THIS year there were three points of interest in the latter part of the festival for any keen observer of Indian cinema (in the strict sense of a country being defined by its geographical boundaries); and www.asianculturevulture.com contributor Tatiana Rosenstein was in Berlin between February 20-March 1, and caught up with director Pushpendra Singh whose film ‘The Shepherdhess and the Seven Songs’ featured in a new competition section called Encounters; director Rima Das who was invited to serve on the Generation 14 plus International Jury and director Askshay Indikar whose ‘Sthalpuran’ was included in the 14 plus section.
‘The Shepherdess and the Seven Songs’ by Pushpendra Singh is a partly allegoric, partly ethnographic study, as well as being, a partly feminist fairy tale.
Pushpendra Singh and Carlo Chatrian, artistic director Berlinale
It focuses on the character of a young and beautiful shepherdess ‘Laila’ from the Bakarwal tribe, trapped between her cowardly husband and the harassment of local officials and set in Kashmir. The story is based on the folk-tale ‘Kenchuli’ by award winning writer Vijaydan Detha (1926-2013).
It was this writer who gave Pushpendra his first film too, an adaptation of Detha’s story which became ‘Lajwanti’. It premiered at the Berlinale in 2014.
‘The Shepherdess and the Seven Songs’ is divided into seven chapters and each is marked by a song depicting the state of Laila – Pushpendra told acv he was influenced by the number seven “because of sufism, where there are seven stages to attain oneness with God”.
A former actor, he came across Detha when he was looking to adapt work from classical Indian literature.
Pushpendra said he was impressed by Detha’s language and his feminist take.
“Detha wrote his prose like poetry, especially because he was not using Hindi, but Rajasthani, which is written in the ancient language of Dingal.
“It appears like poetry in which one could have so many expressions and words to describe just one banal object.”
The Shepherdess and Seven Songs
Despite hailing from a nomadic tribe in Rajasthan, Pushpendra made his film in a different part of India. He felt it had similar resonances to Rajasthan and wanted to examine a culture in danger of dying – he didn’t do it for any political purposes and made his film before the Indian government took the step of changing Kashmir’s political status. Known as Article 370, it was revoked by the BJP government last year and meant the region had less autonomy and citizens from anywhere in India could buy property and settle there (in theory). Pushpendra said he was governed more by culture and music of the region.
“I did research mostly using radio archives, I met people colleting traditional songs. My male lead in the film is a folk singer himself – he composed some songs for me,” he told acv. Pushpendra’s film has a strong feminist ethic.
“Detha speaks about emancipation of women, about the way how women challenge the idea of sexuality and explored their desires. I agree with him. I believe that women are more liberated souls, they give birth to us; they are creators! It’s man who tries to jail, repress and control them because at some point they were more successful,” Pushpendra told acv in Berlin.
In the film, the husband is very passive, while Laila is more assertive. “It is connected to the caste system and family traditions, where females are totally humiliated and disgraced but they are more often braver than the males,” said Pushpendra.
His film also gropes towards a deep spirituality and one that reaches across common (and some might say increasing) religious divisions.
“In 14th and 15th centuries, there was a movement called Bhakti, which referred to devotion for a personal god, and it somehow reunited constantly conflicting Hindus and Muslims by creating a bridge.
“Summarised it was about – that God is not outside but inside of each person. While religion used to be and remains a very problematic topic, it separates people instead of reuniting them. Spirituality doesn’t. I see the solution of all the tensions, including those between Hindus and Muslims, in spirituality, which is about connecting with the roots and finding the peace within.”
Maryanne Redpath, head of the International Generation14plus strand with Abbas Amini, Rima Das and Jenna Bass
For filmmaker Rima Das this year’s Berlinale was both a return and a recognition of how far she has come. Invited to serve on the Generation14plus jury, she was humbled. Her last film ‘Bulbul Can Sing‘ screened at the Berlinale in 2019 and her first film, ‘Village Rockstars‘ (2017) proved a hit and was critically acclaimed and toured the international festival circuit. Das comes from north-east India, not the traditional hub of filmmaking in Mumbai or from more recognised areas of independent filmmaking in India.
“Last year I felt like a student,” Das told acv in Berlin, “but now the festival raised me to the level of a Master, allowing me to judge films of others.
“It’s huge, not only because I started making films only three years ago, but also because in the whole world there are so many talented and qualified filmmakers, but among them, they have chosen me.”
She was on the three-strong International Jury Generation 14plus alongside Abbas Amini from Iran, director of ‘Hendi & Harmoz‘ (2018) and ‘Valderrama‘ (2016) which featured at Berlinale and South African Jenna Bass, director of ‘Flatland’ (2019) and ‘High Fantasy’ (2017).
Jurors are required to watch 14 features and 14 short films within eight festival days.
However, Das – known for stamina – managed to visit other film strand sections as well.
Rima Das
“The films of the main competition have really bothered me. It made me sad to see all that we are experiencing in our troubled and politically insecure world.
“I was happy to return to my section, which is about kids, innocence and pure emotions. I feel that even if we live in pain and darkness, we still need to look for light. The sun keeps rising every day”.
One of the common discussion points of her competition strand was the communication gap between adults and children – now exacerbated by a digital gulf.
One of the youngest filmmakers participating in the Generation14plus strand was Akshay Indikar.
The 28-year-old’s film ‘Sthalpuran’ which premiered in Berlin, is his second feature and is about an eight-year-old called ‘Dighu’ who moves from Pune to the west coast after his father walks out on the family. Dighu is unaware of the reasons for his father’s departure and keeps a diary which helps to him cope with the loss and adapt to his new environment.
Akshay Indikar
The title is derived from Sanskrit and means roughly, ‘history of the space’ or just ‘space’. It’s about the uniqueness and language of spaces, he told acv.
“Language is something, which preserves culture and identity, and which maintains your uniqueness. That is why I make my films in Marathi, as it is more complex than English. I think the presence of English is very political and when you canonise things you put them in an uniform manner. I prefer to celebrate different identities”, said the filmmaker to acv in Berlin.
There isn’t much dialogue in Indikar’s film and he prefers to tell his story through images and even the narrative is perhaps more visual than with anything as discernible as a plot.
“It’s s about my personal taste. I don’t feel a need for dialogues. I rather prefer a visual expression, which leads to multiple meanings than an explanation and (authorial) voice.
Dighu in Sthalpuran
“This film is not about story, but storytelling. I tell my story with images. It’s a poetic cinema,” said the filmmaker who comes from another nomadic community and dropped out of the prestigious Film and Television Institute of India (in Pune) and was he says, brought up on a diet of (Bollywood) cinema celebrating Sunny Deol and Amitabh Bachchan.
The top award in Berlin this year was won by Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof for ‘There Is No Evil’.
The Best Film in the Encounters section went to ‘The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin)‘ by CW Winter and Anders Edström.
The Grand Prix of the Generation 14Plus International Jury went to ‘My Name is Baghdad’ by Caru Alves de Souza.
*Look out for more from this year’s Berlinale with ‘Eeb Allay Ooo’ and ‘Mogul Mowgli’ – coming soon…

Nostalgia and a feeling for the red earth of Alabama became the seed of an idea. (text by Bill Caton)
It all begins in the red dirt of northern Alabama near Moulton. Cotton seeds take root there and the fiber they produce is the best in the world. So says Mark Yeager, who started Red Land Farms in 1988.
Yeager can talk with ease about crop rotation (“two consecutive years of cotton and then corn”), and the tough business of farming: “In 2000 we nearly went broke. It will eat you up and spit you out. Markets go flat, drought, insects…Cotton is traded every day around the world. Selling cotton is based off of that. You can make a good crop and still lose money because prices are no good. The farmer is not the high man on the food chain. It’s not a cake walk.”
But Yeager, who is not on the farm on this cold and blustery January day, knows that more than just cotton germinates in the fertile soil in north Alabama. Ideas take root there as well.
Looking every bit the farmer, Yeager adjusts the ball cap on his head with hands that have obviously done a lot of hard work. But today he is not sitting in a tractor cab. He is on a stool in a small store in Moulton where two women pack shipping boxes with cotton bed linens and bath towels.
Yeager and his daughter, Anna Brakefield, started Red Land Cotton in 2016 with the idea that they would use some of the cotton grown on Red Land Farms to make sheets, quilts, pillow cases, towels and other cotton products. Everything is made in America.“We do as much locally as possible,” he says. “When we started, we knew it wouldn’t involve another country. Yarn is made in South Carolina. The cloth is finished in Georgia and returned to Moulton where the sheets are cut and sewn. Towels are made in Griffin, GA. Quilts are made in Kansas City, MO.”
“Dad approached me in 2015 with this idea and I quit my job,” says Brakefield, who earned a degree in graphic design from Auburn and worked two years for an advertising agency in New York City. She handles marketing and product development for Red Land Cotton.
“When we were deciding what we were going to create, Dad wanted to make bedsheets…He was nostalgic about his grandmother’s sheets,” she says. “Turns out that was the most difficult thing to create in America.”
But those sheets from Yeager’s childhood turned out to be a key to the entire business.
“That conjured pictures of what I wanted the brand to be,” Brakefield says. “It’s reminiscent of when things were made right.
“We started with an heirloom bedsheet. The textile engineers in South Carolina created a 1920s-style bedsheet.”
And the Ticking-Stripe pattern (the style my grandmother had), “speaks to nostalgia and heritage.” The same concept applies to newer products, including blankets and bathrobes, all made from 100 percent cotton grown on a farm in north Alabama.
That respect for heritage includes doing as much as possible from the 5,000-acre farm. The cotton is grown and ginned by Red Land Farms and about 10 percent is used to meet the needs of Red Land Cotton.
“We use the best quality of cotton for our products,” Yeager says. “We use about 10 percent of our crop for our business now.”
Red Land Cotton ships about 100 orders a day and double that during the holidays, Yeager says.
“It’s finally getting to the point where I can see the success of it,” Brakefield says. “When you are building something from scratch, it takes a little while to see where you’re going with it.”
“I’m loving it,” Yeager says. “The popularity is growing. And I love working with Anna.”
“My Dad and I are a lot alike,” Brakefield says, laughing.
“At the end of the day they’re family and they have to love you.”

American Idol - Top 36 Group 3
Hello Idol Addicts! One final push this week and we can collectively breath a sigh that the semi-finals are over! I've made it no secret that I'm no fan of this switcheroo back to the semi-finals of old. Our producers seem to have way too much control, and it was yet again on display tonight with the final performance of the night. Tell me, don't you find it a little odd that 3 weeks straight, the final performer of the night will be in the top 12? I'm telling you, this conspiracy is bigger than JFK and WATERGATE! Alas, this is only a TV show. I must say, tonight there seemed to be a few better performances to choose from than week's past. Although, it does seem pretty clear who will be the favorites to get through tomorrow night. Things could get interesting for wildcard night. And I wish for once someone would explain how it's going to work!
But for now, we have some work to do so on with our analysis of tonight's 12. My picks to follow at the bottom!
Von Smith - 22 from Greenwood, MO - He can try to lose the name all he wants. But when history looks back at American Idol season 8 and if they even remember ol' Von, he'll be remembered as "The Screamer." Of course, now after tonight's performance he shall be "The Screamer with Ronald McDonald's Shoes." I mean...whaaaat? What on earth was that crazy outfit? The V-Neck with the Suit, and those ruby red Dorothy shoes! His rendition of "You're All I need to Get By" was interesting to say the least. He sang it all in tune. But he seemed too impressed with himself with those high notes. And it's just an annoying voice in my opinion. The judges went easy on him. But do they really think he has a shot? I don't think so. They may try to scare us with a Wildcard night appearance though.
Taylor Vaifanua -17 from Hurricane, Utah - Well, now we know why Taylor didn't get much press-time in the earlier rounds. Her performance of Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" was really "breathy" and she tried to over sing it a bit. The whole thing felt forced. It sounded like a Saturday Night Live character doing an impersonation of someone over singing. Does that make sense? Didn't think so! Well, neither did that performance! Oh, fun thing to note. When Ryan was giving out the phone number for her fans to dial? You know, it ended in 2. So she put both hands up with 2 fingers each and held them together. Um, my dear, that looked like 4!!! So if Arianna Afsar gets in, it's your fault!
Alex Wagner-Trugman - 19 from Studio City, CA - Well, our resident fitness champion took a break from muscle beach to bring us a rousing rendition of Sir Elton's "I Guess That's Why They Call It the Blues." Seriously? He started lifting to get rid of his dorky persona? I felt bad for the guy. I laughed through his entire performance for all fo the wrong reasons. But I think we all did. The theatrics were hysterical. But nothing will surpass the GROWL!!!! I literally screamed out loud when he did it. I couldn't contain myself! And folks, if I can find it on youtube, it might just have to eventually make it's way onto this blog. rooooowl!!!!!!!! And then the Mic Stand fell over (but it soooo looked like it was intentional!) The dude has no shot at all to move on, but man was that entertaining!
Arianna Afsar - 17 from San Diego, CA- I'm totally confused by this one. She sang Abba's "The Winner Takes it All" or did she? I couldn't make out a song in any of that performance. Maybe it was the arrangement, but she seemed "off" with the music the entire time. It was pretty boring, uninspiring and well, the judges hated it. I don't see anyone really rallying to her cause!
Ju'Not Joyner - 26 from Bowie, Marlyand- A little bit of hypocrisy here with Paula. She told someone earlier that they did the same song in Hollywood week but then complimented Ju'Not for doing the same thing. We heard his spin of the Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah" a few weeks back and enjoyed it then. This was a little more subdued. Apparently he wanted to show respect to the artist and not change the melody up too much. I dunno, he sounded good. His talk about the cortisone shot probably won him some points and showing clips of his kid never hurts either. If anything, he might be back Thursday night for the Wildcard show. I think there was too much talent at the tail end of this night for him to remain in the running. But I like him, for the record!
Kristen McNamara - 23 from Napa Valley CA - Well, we've seen quite a bit of drama from Kristen in Hollywood. We've seen some crazy hair style changes. We've seen her butcher Kelly Clarkson (although some would beg to differ including the judges). But this Karaoke host dug up something you might see in Vegas or Simon's favorite "a cruise ship!" If you're gonna do Traci Chapman's "Give Me One Reason" just do it straight up bluesy! Don't turn it into a Disco! Her voice was pretty decent, but the arrangement was a disaster. I think the judges may like her too. I'm really interested to see how Thursday pans out. If they're going to pick one from each semi-final week then it's gonna be tough to figure it out!
Nathaniel Marshall - 19 from Malone, NY - I really hope this is the last week we have to see this dude. Ever since we saw his Hollywood soliloquy of how the music "COMES FROM HIS SKIN!!!" people have been forcing their dinner up across America. Well, kids you ain't seen nothin' yet! For his final act, he pulled out all of the stops for the grand workout video that might even get Meatloaf into shape! I'm a little annoyed at Simon and Paula for stealing my thunder on this one. As I was watching I took notes saying how he turned "I Would Do Anything For Love" into a Richard Simmons' video. Darn it all! And a one and a two and a one two three! Move those Hips ladies!!! Man was it bad!! And all of the headband antics and inside jokes with the judges afterwards was a little over the top. I don't think Nathaniel has an ice cube's shot in Hades of making it to the next round (went all Greek Mythology on you for a second!).
Felicia Barton - 26 from Virginia Beach, VA - Well Felicia sure looked glad to be there. And she should! She was originally told she was not in the top 36. But then the Joanna Pacitti scandal happened, and she was on the next flight back to L.A. She sang Alicia Keys' "No One" like she was out there with something to prove. (wow, 2 Alicia songs and 2 Elton songs out of 12 total. Crazy!) She did sing it pretty well. I agreed with Simon that it might have been a little "copy-cattish." Again, maybe a wild card, but I think I've already made up my mind on the 3 that get in.
Scott MacIntyre - 23 from Scottsdale, AZ - I mean, how can you not like this guy? We all know he doesn't have the perfect voice. But you had to feel for him when all he wanted was his piano. His best alternative was to sing something from a fellow piano guy. I don't know much about Bruce Hornsby's "Mandolin Rain" but I do know that Scotty here loves music. And just like the judges said, you can just feel his enjoyment as he's singing. If the voters are made of stone, then the judges surely will put him in Thursday. But as Simon said, it seems like a foregone conclusion that he's in. Get this man his piano!
Kendall Beard - 24 from Lufkin, TX - Well, what do you know? There WAS a Country Girl this season! It was tough not to like her from her interview segment tonight. And tough not to root for her as we now want to see her dad do the alligator dance. Do you smell a BUT coming? Well here it is. BUT!! I don't know if her rendition of Martina's "This One's For the Girl" will be enough to cut it tonight. This would be a case in the past 3 season's top 24's where she'd be safe and moving on to the next week. But when we can only pick 3, she just doesn't quite make the cut. As Simon suggested, there really wasn't much else she could have done better. Maybe they'll want to get a country girl into the competition on wildcard night. But let's be honest. I think American Idol has cornered the Country Market as of late (Carrie, Pickler, Gracin, Bucky, Phil Stacey, etc...). And let's be a little more honest. It only goes downhill after Carrie!
Jorge Nuñez - 21 Carolina, Puerto Rico - I am so glad I finally figured out how to type an "ñ" on my computer! Because Jorge just might be sticking around a bit longer. Is there anyone out there that didn't get a little teary-eyed when Jorge was so pleased with the judges' comments that he started crying and "thinking in Spanish?" He sang the heck out of "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" and apparently worked on his dialect. I agree with Simon though. Why would they go to Puerto Rico to find a contestant if they wanted them to sound like they had a Standard American Dialect? I wasn't sure if I was going to like Jorge after his audition. I knew that he sang Jon Secada's "Angel" better than Sergei Federov (I just can't call that crazy dude Anthony!) and I still keep bringing it up because of the anonymous disgruntled reader who apparently was offended. (you just don't know where those Sergei fans are hiding these days!) Anyway, Jorge is growing on me. If the performance alone wasn't enough to get him in, then it was his reactions afterwards that will help seal the deal.
Lil Rounds - 24 from Memphis, TN - And then here it was. The moment we were all dreading. We knew she'd be 12th. We knew she would get into the top 12 no matter what. We saw the clips of her being compared to Barftasia and Mary J. Blige. She decided to sing a song by the latter "Be Without You." What we got was a ridiculous clone version of Miss Blige's tune. When I say ridiculous I mean that in 2 ways. I meant that she was really good. But at the same time it was an exact carbon copy! We saw the Judges drinking the Kool-Aid and bobbing their heads along. We saw Kara trying to talk like Lil to show how hip and cool she is. We saw how Lil needs to PROVIDE for her struggling family. Ugh....we saw Fantasia 2.0. I was no fan of it the first time around, and it ain't gonna change this time around. Lil Rounds is officially my enemy! And just like I successfully convinced America that David Archuleta was not fit for the Idol crown, I accept the challenge to start my campaign to do the same for LIL! Even though, yes Paula, we will see her for "many 'lil rounds' to come." See my eyes folks? Watch them rooooooollllllllllll!!!!!!!!! (whoops, just thought of Alex Wagner-Trugman again!)
Oh and of course after all of the Judges' praise for Lil, it only egged her on to start her Grammy Thank You's a bit too prematurely. That has to be enough to turn anyone off! But, I've got plenty of time to get back on that soapbox. I gotta dish out some picks! This one is easy to me, which means I've probably got it all wrong!
Top Female Vote: Lil Rounds
Top Male Vote: Scott MacIntyre
Next Top Vote Getter: Jorge Nuñez
Bonus Picks: Ju'Not Joyner, Kendall Beard Long Shot: Felicia Barton
The bonus picks are for my sanity only. I never take credit for getting it right if they're picked! Anyway, here's my first stab at the Wildcard. I will revisit this tomorrow if they give us more information. But if they take one from each week. Here are my picks:
Week 1 - Anoooooooop Desai
Week 2 - Matt Giraud
Week 3 - Kendall Beard
I would've went for Ju'Not for week 3 but that is one Male-Dominated top 12! I don't know if they'd do that or not. Maybe Jasmine Murray gets a 2nd shot over Matt. Maybe Jackie Tohn gets in over Anoop (really??? naaaa). Or maybe it won't be one per week! There has to be some kind of performance Thursday for them to make a final decision. Oh well, I made my early picks and we'll get more information after Wednesday Night's show.
In the meantime, hope you enjoyed my ramblings as always and I'll see you after the results!
This blog can also be read and discussed on Gather.com. Come check it out and throw some votes my way if you have spare time!

Loved the show for the most part tonight Mike. After razzing on Lil Rounds earlier, how does she sound for you now?
I'm thinking she'll definitely advance along with Scott. People, I suspect, are very intrigued with a possible blind American Idol winner. He's got mad skills and I can't wait 'til we see him being a piano.
As for my third choice, it came down to Kristen, Ju'not or Jorge. I'm really loving on Kristen right now--love her voice, love her pipes, even loving the fact that a Nashville Starlet can make it far in Idol! She'd be my third pick.
I certainly believe that Jorge will be picked up for the top 12 as well. If he's not picked by America, then he's certainly has a more than decent chance at being one of the judges wild cards.
Good show tonight and another fine blog by Mike V! All is well. Let's hope that Lost doesn't disappoint tommorrow either.
12:13 AM, March 04, 2009
Great stuff as usual, Mike! I picked Scott, Lil and Ju'Not to advance, but I could see Jorge making it instead of Ju'Not.
I loved Alex Wagner-Trugman's performance. It was even better on second viewing. I know he probably won't make the Top 12, but then, my favorites rarely make it very far. Just once I wish someone who's both funny and creative could make it deep in the competition.
I'm with you on the anti-Lil wagon. I seriously doubt she has any chance of winning though.
Lil's performance just didn't impress me that much. She has a good voice, but it's nothing special that we've never heard before. She sounds like every other successful R&B artist out there.
Shanna,
Um.........WHAT????? Doesn't Idol WANT a success recording artist to come out of this season? I thought the whole purpose of Idol was to find a relative unknown, give them a chance and see if they could make it out in the big, bad world of the music business.
Lil's got the pipes, the 'tude and apparently the skill that would lend itself readily to the music industry. I'm quite okay with her at this time.
Yeah, they do. But they are usually looking for something unique. I'm just saying there is nothing that would make her stand out in the crowd. It's fine for you to like her. I'm sure you won't be the only one, but I'm entitled to my opinion too. And my opinion is that she's not the best contender for the title this season.
Shanna, No problem here. But when you say that there is nothing that would make her stand out in the crowd, did you NOT see her, ahem, backside. : > )
Yeah, I can understand why people will like Lil Rounds. She has a really good voice. The name itself is UNIQUE and catchy if not utterly ridiculous! She's personally not my cup of tea though. I don't even like tea!
Fantasia had talent and attitude as well. And look what she turned into. An utter disaster! And she's not really lighting up the charts either, never really did. LIL does seem a little more "put together" than Fantasia was (little being a key word!), but I still see a lot of similarities to the winner of American Idol's worst season.
I agree with Shanna right now though. I'm not a big fan of Carbon Copy performances! Sure, we know she can BE Mary J. Blige. Let's see how she can change the game a little bit before getting too excited about her vocal chops. Let's see how she does on Country Week! Many "power vocalists" have fallen on such nights.
That's all I have for now.
Thanks for the props on the blog!

Creve Coeur Green Heroes
Shalowitz Home: 29 Beacon Hill
One of the greenest and most energy efficient homes in St. Louis is located at 29 Beacon Hill in Creve Coeur. Mr. Howard Shalowitz, the homeowner, allowed city staff to interview him and tour his home for this article.
The home has served as a showcase to educate builders, buyers and the general public about green building options and their benefits. The home has also been awarded the difficult to achieve LEED-H certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design for Homes) from the US Green Building Council.
The 3,700 sq. ft. home is a near-zero energy home, meaning that it produces the majority of energy it uses via solar power. Other green features include ICF construction (Insulated Concrete Forms) for maximum insulation in walls, geothermal heating and cooling to utilize moderate ground temperatures to work against the extreme temperatures of the winter and summer, a radiant heat blocking house wrap and more. Interior finishes include bamboo and cork floors, counters made from recycled glass, plumbing fixtures that conserve water, non-off-gassing paint and adhesives, and low-energy use light fixtures.
In addition to saving energy, the home provides many conveniences. According to Mr. Shalowitz, “The induction stove boils a pot of water in 90 seconds while using 50% of the energy of a conventional stove.” When asked what feature of the home he would most recommend to other homeowners, Mr. Shalowitz said that a tankless water heater is a great example of an investment that conserves energy - it only heats water when needed and also provides the convenience of never running out of hot water.
One of the best perks of a near-zero energy home is saving money on utility bills. Mr. Shalowitz indicated that his sum total gas bill over the past year and half has been approximately $80 (less than $5 per month on average). During the summer time, the solar panels on the roof generate enough electricity to not only power the home but also feed electricity back onto the power grid, which AmerenUE essentially buys back from the homeowner!

Director of "Redha" brings awareness to autism
Tunku Mona Riza wishes to change the public's perception on autism.
Not everyone in society knows or understands autism, which is why director Tunku Mona Riza has come up with her film, "Redha", in hopes that she can develop a public awareness on the matter.
Inspired from a true story, the film portrays the lives of a Malay couple, Alina and Razlan, who are having a hard time coping and raising their only son, Danial, who has autism.
Produced by Current Pictures, the film will be released in Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei on 14 April 2016 and stars Namron, June Lojong, Nadiya Nisaa, Remy Ishak, Ruminah Sidek, Harith Haziq, Izzy Reef and Susan Lankester.
At the gala premiere of "Redha" at GSC Pavilion, KL, the director talked about her experience on making this meaningful and touching Malaysian film filled with humanity.
The cast line-up, director and producer of "Redha".
Cinema Online: How did you get the idea to make such a film?
Tunku Mona Riza: The idea came to me when I met an autistic child while I was young. At that time, I realised that there wasn't much awareness on the disorder among society, so I decided to challenge myself to learn and understand more about the condition, and most importantly, how it affects the families in Malaysia.
Why did you decide to choose Namron and June Lojong to play the couple with the autism child in this film?
I wanted a real husband and wife to play the role because there are minor intimate scenes like kissing foreheads, hugging, or holding hands. Even though they are tiny gestures, but I believe that they will create a huge impact on the film.
The film took quite a long time to produce. Can you explain why?
Yes, we did take a long time to make this film, because it took us around two and a half years to research on autism. We also approached two families who are facing such issues so that we would understand more of their lives and what they've been through, all so we can shape the role of the autistic child perfectly.
Harith Haziq plays the role of young Danial.
What are the challenges that you have faced while making this film?
At first, we had difficulties getting the cooperation from The National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM), as they were worried that we might misinterpret the whole autism issue. But after a thorough and detailed explanation on our intentions to produce the film, they willingly lent their hands and shared useful information on the matter.
What was the production cost?
The whole film cost RM3.7 million, including the studies and research that we did for the past two and a half years.
What are your expectations for the film?
I do hope that the public will give their full support to this film. Not only are they able to watch the film, in Malaysia, they will also be able to perform a good deed with every ticket that they have purchased, as RM1 of each ticket will be donated to the autism cause. We also made an agreement with BSN (National Savings Bank) who loaned us the money to make the film, which is that if the film manages to collect RM7.5 million, the bank will give a contribution of RM300,000 to other autism organisations .

Recovery of waste brine for highway applications
RECOVERY OF WASTE BRINES FOR HIGHWAY APPLICATIONS
William A. Sack, Professor
Ronald W. Eck, Professor
Carmen R. Romano, Engineer
EG and G-WASC, Inc.
Waste liquids arising from oil and gas production may be divided into three categories: drilling
fluids and muds, chemical treatment fluids and produced brines. This paper focuses on the quality
and quantity of produced brines and the potential for recovery of these waste fluids for use in highway
applications. Brines are separated from the oil and/or gas as they reach the surface and are often
placed in temporary storage at the wellhead. For example, in West Virginia above-ground covered
steel or fiberglass tanks designed to hold 100 barrels of brine (4200 gallons) are typically provided.
In some states lined or unlined pits or ponds or buried metal or concrete tanks have been utilized
for brine storage. However, unlined ponds and buried tanks are often a source of ground water
pollution and their use is being discontinued in most states.
CURRENT BRINE DISPOSAL PRACTICES
Brine disposal practices may be divided into the broad categories of surface discharge, subsurface
discharge, evaporation, and roadway application. Approximately 30 states produce some amount of
oil and/or natural gas and brine handling practices vary considerably because of variations in climate,
geology, brine quantity and quality produced and regulatory framework. Surface discharge of brines
to land or surface waters occurs in both an uncontrolled and a controlled manner. Wells are so
numerous in some states that it is extremely difficult for regulatory agencies to cope with the problem,
and a significant amount of brine is discharged in an uncontrolled manner. For example, Templeton
and Associates [1] reported in a survey of brine production and disposal in Ohio that 40,000 barrels
per day (BPD) of salt water were produced in 1979, and that 75% (30,000 BPD) were disposed of
by unknown means. Controlled surface discharge is practiced in some states where brine may be
discharged by simple dilution through an existing municipal or industrial treatment facility. Treatment facilities built solely for oil and gas industry wastes are operational in some states including
Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Treatment includes gravity separation of oils, pH adjustment and
use of lagoons for aeration and sedimentation prior to discharge in proportion to stream flow. Another type of surface discharge is via ocean disposal as practiced in some coastal states such as Louisiana.
Use of subsurface disposal wells for disposal of brine is probably the most widely used controlled
method especially in the western and southern oil and gas producing states. Wells may be drilled
specifically for disposal or may be dry holes or abandoned wells converted to disposal use. Disposal
of brines to subsurface formations to increase reservoir yields via injection wells is also carried out.
This practice may be termed water flooding, secondary recovery, or repressuring [2].
Subsurface disposal is the method of choice in states such as Kansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and
Texas. For example, there are approximately 4000 disposal wells and 2000 injection wells in Kansas
alone. However, for a number of reasons the use of disposal or injection wells is much less common
east of the Mississippi River in states such as West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Ohio and New York.
Successful disposal requires the availability of permeable formations sufficiently thick to accom-

The proper action for the Cambridge City Council in Monteiro v. Cambridge
The judge in Monteiro v City of Cambridge, on or about June 2, will take action that commences the appeals period in this case. The Cambridge City Council has started to position itself to evaluate whether the City Council will fund an appeal.
I have been told that the Cambridge City Council is not capable of doing what should be done on Monteiro v. City of Cambridge. This opinion is based on the individual limitations of the members of the Cambridge City Council.
I personally think that people who so clearly and publicly claim to stand for civil rights might actually stand for civil rights. And the Monteiro case involves the deliberate destruction of the life of a black woman, Cape Verdean, department head in response to her filing a civil rights complaint.
The Chronicle editor has done an excellent job evaluating this case as a personal matter of the City Manager.
This evaluation should feature in the decision of the Cambridge City Council on whether or not to fund an appeal.
If the Cambridge City Council does fund an appeal, the fact that this case is a personal matter with regard to the Cambridge City Manager should feature in the voters’ evaluation of the qualifications of the members of the City Council to hold office.
The very strong opinion of judge and jury is that the Cambridge City Manager destroyed the life of Malvina Monteiro in clear and knowing violation of civil rights laws protecting Ms. Monteiro’s right to file a civil rights complaint. His action has been determined illegal and “reprehensible.”
The judge’s decision tears apart each and every argument of the Cambridge City Manager in court. That decision may be read on the Internet at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/judge-issues-decision-denying.html. That decision includes a shocking evaluation of the testimony of the Cambridge City Manager.
If the Monteiro decision is not appealed, the City Manager’s treatment of Malvina Monteiro is a matter which has been litigated.
The City Manager has rather strong clauses in his contract paying him a large golden parachute should he be fired. It is not unthinkable for such clauses to be found void as against public policy in the face of such a court decision.
I see nothing complicated about it.
We have nine city councilors who claim to be pro-civil rights.
We have nine city councilors who should be accepting the decision of judge and jury and voting to fire the Cambridge City Manager.
Change in start of BU Bridge repairs
1. Introductory.
2. Press Release from DCR.
3. Afterthought.
The following Press Release was issued by the DCR on May 15, 2009, and forwarded by the Cambridge City Manager’s Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association on their listserve on May 18.
The key part of this is the comment on the BU Bridge repair project and its needless destructiveness to the environment. This is a change from the announcement I passed on from a planning group meeting last week.
The anticipated bid date is repeated as early June.
Commencement of work is now scheduled for fall.
This change in commencement of work is very clearly to fit it with Cambridge practices.
The hypocrites lie about themselves during election campaigns, and they do the really rotten stuff the week after the election.
I am rotating between eight plus bad guys and 7½ plus bad guys. My increasing evaluation is to look at Councilor Kelley’s conversion to a statement of support for the Green at Magazine Beach in light of his apparent destructiveness of the Green everywhere else that I know of.
Eight plus bad guys.

DCR BEGINS REPAIRS ON BU BRIDGE
One Boston-to-Cambridge lane will be closed to vehicles
The Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) is set to begin repairs on the BU Bridge that will require one Cambridge-bound lane to be closed to vehicles.
Effective this evening, the downstream sidewalk (on the side with Boston-to-Cambridge vehicular traffic) will close. The adjoining Boston-to-Cambridge traffic lane also will close to vehicular traffic, but will be open for pedestrians and cyclists.
“We know these lane and sidewalk closings will be inconvenient, but in the interest of public safety, these repairs have to be made,” said DCR Commissioner Richard K. Sullivan Jr. “We appreciate the public’s patience as this work moves forward.”
A recent inspection by TranSystems identified two structural elements under the roadway and sidewalk that need to be repaired. DCR’s design contractor, STV Inc. of Boston, will design the repairs, and Unified Contractor Inc. of Melrose will start the work as early as next week.
In the meantime, and during the work, the downstream sidewalk will be closed to all pedestrians, and the right-hand Boston-to-Cambridge lane will be closed to vehicles and reserved for pedestrians.
As part of Governor Patrick’s $3 billion Accelerated Bridge Program, aimed at quickly repairing the Commonwealth’s most neglected bridges, DCR is currently soliciting bids for a full rehabilitation of the BU Bridge. A contract for that work, estimated to cost about $20 million, is expected to be awarded in June, and work would begin in fall 2009.
The current repairs, expected to cost about $100,000 and be completed three weeks, also will be funded through the Accelerated Bridge Program. The downstream sidewalk is expected to remain closed during the full bridge rehabilitation. The upstream sidewalk, which has been undergoing repairs, is expected to reopen later this month.
To learn more about the Accelerated Bridge Program, visit www.mass.gov/ acceleratedbridg es.
To learn more about DCR projects, visit www.mass.gov/ dcr/projects.
Public comment about the preceding project, the BU Bridge Sidewalk project is now being described as “BU Bridge Repairs.”
Yet more dirty tricks.
The game with the bad guys has always been to lie through word games and secret definitions, or, for that matter, whatever dirty trick works.
Now they are deliberately confusing the two projects, one of which is responsible, the other of which is business as usual.
Another factor to consider is the long record of bad faith. A delay which can be reversed at will can just be a tactic to catch responsible people off guard.
The Monteiro judge is right.
“Reprehensible” is a very appropriate word.
Monteiro: Reconsideration rejected, Details on Motions, City Council consideration.
1. Motion for Reconsideration rejected.
2. Details at Cambridge Chronicle.
3. Cambridge City Council getting in to the act.
Cambridge filed is motion for reconsideration on May 19. The Court filed its response yesterday:
Motion (P#121) Upon review of all submissions and relevant case law,
the within mtoion for reconsideration is DENIED. (Bonnie H. MacLeod,
Justice). Notices mailed 5/21/2009
The Cambridge Chronicle apparently has received a copy of some of the papers on which my knowledge is limited to paper titles. Its report may be read at: http://www.wickedlocal.com/cambridge/news/x542611448/Judge-rules-against-city-Attempt-to-appeal-discrimination-case-moot
Take care, however. The report is simplified for public consumption and, as a result, lacks legal perfection. Additionally, there are legal points which the Chronicle does not seem to understand. To the extent anything in the report conflicts with my reports, my reports should prevail.
The Chronicle report included city council discussion of the matter.
That came from a city council order signed by five members (a voting majority) which is published at http://www.cambridgema.gov/cityClerk/PolicyOrder.cfm?item_id=25451. This order directly addresses the Monteiro case. It was tabled and would not normally be brought up until a week from Monday.
The initial order called for money to hire special council to evaluate the situation and for closed door discussion WITHOUT THE CITY MANAGER.
A modification order from Toomey reports that the city council has already met with special council.
Separate Final Judgment in Monteiro to issue about June 2?
1. Papers filed.
2. Analysis.
3. Summary.
It looks like there will probably be a final judgment issued by the judge for Malvina Monteiro on or about June 2.
The judge issued the following order on Monday, May 18:
Motion (P#107) In light of this Court's decision on the defendant's
post-trial motions, the within motion is ALLOWED. Counsel are to
provide a proposed form of judgment for the Court within 7 days.
(Bonnie H. MacLeod, Justice). Notices mailed 5/18/2009
Paper 107 was filed by the Plaintiff at about the same time as the defendant's post trial motions.
Paper 107:
MOTION Of Plaintiff Malvina Monteiro Pursuant To Rule 54(b) For Entry
Of Final Judgment Against Defendant City Of Cambridge; and
Defendant's Opposition.
This action was taken in spite of the city (defendant) filing a notice of intent to seek reconsideration of the post trial motion order.
On May 19, 2009, the Defendant filed the following:
Defendant City of Cambridge's MOTION for Reconsideration of Decision
and Order on Post Trial Motions; Plaintiff, Monteiro's opposition to
deft's motion.
The reality is as follows:
There are three plaintiffs outstanding, Monteiro and two who have not had a trial yet.
Under the rules, UNLESS the judge orders otherwise, all action on a case officially is not done UNTIL all plaintiffs' complaints are resolved. The Monteiro complaint was the first to be heard. Thus, everything would normally be on hold until the other two plaintiffs complaints are tried.
The motion the judge just granted allows final judgment to Ms. Monteiro without waiting for the other two plaintiffs.
Thus, after the drafting exercise the judge calls for in her order, Ms. Monteiro will have a judgment in hand allowing her to COLLECT her judgment from the City of Cambridge (i.e., sell a couple of buildings if the city does not pay). That judgment will also allow the city to appeal the decision.
Rules are such that the plaintiff cannot get the appropriate paper to commence the collection process on the judgment until after the appeals period expires. Thus an appeal prevents collection on the judgment until the appeal is completed.
Prior to the Judge’s order, Cambridge posted notice that Cambridge will seek reconsideration of the ruling and order rejecting the city’s post-trial motions. The timing of the judge’s request for language allowed Cambridge to file its reconsideration motion with any plaintiff response attached to it before the judge is scheduled to issue her official separate Judgment.
Cambridge proceeded with filing the motion for reconsideration.
Since the actual separate judgment will not be issued until after receipt of the Cambridge reconsideration request, the judge has left herself room to change her mind in light of VERY persuasive language by Cambridge, while the judge is simultaneously moving forward the final judgment with relative speed.
That motion for reconsideration had better be very persuasive if the city expects to prevail.
It would appear highly unlikely that the motion for reconsideration will be that persuasive.
June 2, give or take a few days, I anticipate final and separate judgment. That judgment will be followed by time for appeal. If Cambridge does not appeal, Cambridge had better pay or see some of its property sold at auction.
Analysis of Urban Ring Citizens Advisory Committee meeting April 14, 2009; announcement of CAC meeting June 10, 2009
Archie Mazmanian’s analysis of the April 14, 2009 Urban Ring Phase 2 Citizens Advisory Committee meeting:
The CAC meeting April 14 included a presentation by A Better City (ABC) Planning Director and CAC Co-Chair Tom Nally.
The presentation provided several slides, with suggestions for taking several limited steps. EOT’s Ned Cod did not seem too impressed with this but perhaps bit his tongue to “comply” with the March 6, 2009 DEIR Certificate issued by Ian A. Bowles, Secretary, Executive 0ffice of Energy and Environmental Affairs. No handouts were made available to members of the public in attendance; we could only look at the slides and listen to Nally’s general narrative.
This demonstrates the “power” of ABC and its development-membership that I referred to in an earlier letter posted on the Chalres River White Geese blog March 17, 2009. After the close of the meeting, I asked Ned Codd if the ABC slides would be posted on the Urban Ring website together with EOT’s presentation. He said he thought so, subject to ABC’s permission. I suggested that these became public records and should be included. In fact, ABC’s proposal in its entirety should be disclosed to the public under the circumstances so the public can be in a position to comment on them at a later date.
There were no positive messages presented at this meeting, especially in light of recent transportation events and MA budget cutting. In fact there seemed to be a suggestion from Ned Codd that the LMA tunnel might not be affordable under FTA requirements for New Starts federal funding, as MA has to be able to demonstrate availability of project funding beyond what FTA may provide; and it was not clear that MA could do this.
In the public comment period, I “tiraded” that I was hearing at this meeting the voice of former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld during the 2003 Iraq conflict about “known unknowns” and “unknown unknowns" that also seem to plague Phase 2 of the Urban Ring. Public transit has major problems now, and they are getting worse. I further “tiraded” that assuming Phase 2 passes muster and is completed, say, by 2020, public transit problems surely would have further worsened in the interim, such that Phase 2 would only serve as a “band-aid” when surgery is required, in the form of Phase 3 with its light/heavy dedicated rail. As to no LMA tunnel, I further “tiraded” that the traffic mess in the LMA currently is measurable and superimposing Phase 2 surface routes through LMA should reveal the absurdity, the futility of “no tunnel” since what happens in the LMA, unlike Vegas, does not stay in the LMA and causes traffic problems in surrounding neighborhoods.
What’s sad is that the Legislature is not seriously addressing transportation issues. At some point public transit users will become vociferous, especially with the economy far from recovery, as it may become more difficult commuting to their jobs. The Greater Boston area relies upon public transit. The Greater Boston area provides much of MA’s economic activity. Solving these problems will be expensive since the problems have long been neglected and ignored. MA cannot rely upon federal funding to address these problems. The Legislature has to come up with a way to find the money—and fast! Band-aids won’t stop the bleeding.
You may post this letter on your Blog, if you wish.
Archie now notes that on April 22, 2009, EOT posted on its website its presentation including the ABC slides: www.theurbanring.com/currentmaterials.
Also, there will be an Urban Ring Phase 2 CAC meeting on Wednesday, June 10, 2009, from 4-6 PM at 10 Park Plaza, Conference Room 2-3. The meeting will discuss the “pending Notice of Project Change and review the proposed implementation strategy for the Urban Ring Phase 2 project.” Contact at EOT is Scott Hamwey, telephone 617-973-7210.
Further Thoughts on Chronicle Letter - Monteiro
On looking at the letter as edited in Thursday's Chronicle, the editing significantly improved the letter.
As edited, it concentrated solely on the important issue, the Monteiro case and Cambridge's extremely bad political establishment.
The big problem is a very bad political establishment in the City of Cambridge.
A Clarification on Councilor Kelly.
The Cambridge Chronicle has been doing very well by me, very well. It hurts to have to do a perhaps picky correction, but I do try to be accurate. So I feel compelled to make a correction, at least in this forum, on the version of my letter of praise for the Cambridge Chronicle printed in today’s (5/14/09) paper.
The letter as written is reproduced below at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2009/05/praise-for-cambridge-chronicle-monteiro.html. The letter was accurately copied by the Chronicle on line.
The hard copy edition omitted the fifth through seventh paragraphs. This was rather clearly an edit to fit the letter into available space. The edit, however, kept the content solely on the Monteiro case and omitted my listing of a bunch of other problems.
My summary paragraph blasts eight plus city councilors. The text as published only really supports blasting seven. Eight deserve to be blasted as stated in those three paragraphs. I doubt very seriously that Councillor Kelley, who is the eighth councilor in this regard, would be interested in a follow up explicitly blasting him on the other civil rights issue, on environmental and animal abuse issues, and on zoning abuses while pointing out that he did not vote to rehire the City Manager. That vote makes the letter as published technically only relevant to seven councilors.
In this regard, however, I note that Councillor Kelley Monday publicly, and belatedly, objected to the ongoing destruction of Green maintenance at Magazine Beach. Kelley did not object to the outrageous introduced starvation wall. Kelley did not object to the heartless starvation of the Charles River White Geese. Kelley did not object to the outrages associated with the BU Bridge repairs. Kelley did not object to the destruction of all ground vegetation between the BU Bridge and the BU Boathouse. Kelley did not object to the twice yearly destruction of all protective vegetation lining the Charles River except for the bizarre introduced wall at Magazine Beach. Kelley did not object to the annual poisoning of the eggs of water fowl. Kelley did not object to the continuing and unnecessary destruction of healthy trees on a large scale by the City of Cambridge. Councilor Kelley did object to the destruction of Green maintenance at Magazine Beach.
I will continue my highly distressed observations.
DCR Presentation; BU Bridge “Repairs”, Bridges to be Removed from them?
Bob reports.
On Wednesday afternoon, May 13, I attended a meeting of the “Regional Transportation Advisory Council” at the Transportation Building in Park Square, Boston.
Representatives of the Department of Conservation and Recreation made a presentation on their Parkway and Bridge Program.
They stated that the BU Bridge repair contract is anticipated to be awarded by June 3 for work starting July 4.
They showed a map of the project which included the irresponsibly located staging as previously reported. The most important part of the map from an environmental perspective was that the portion of the goose meadow which they did not intend to further destroy this time is marked something like “Geese Protection Area.”
This is the department which goes out of its way to destroy as much wildlife as it can get away with on the Charles River between the Harbor and the Watertown Dam.
This is the department which has spent nearly ten years promising no intent to harm the Charles River White Geese and then explaining that starving them is not harming them, followed by bragging about starving them.
This is the department which has timed the work around the BU Bridge to maximize harm to the Charles River White Geese.
This is the department which has, starting in 2004, destroyed all ground vegetation between the BU Bridge and the BU Boathouse except for the vegetation which they propose to destroy as part of this project.
The “Geese Protection Area” is a DCR created mudpit, with all previously undestroyed ground vegetation destroyed as part of this project, half of the destruction for staging which is unnecessary in that location and highly appropriate for under the nearby Memorial Drive overpass.
Featured very prominently in their presentation was a photo of the EMPTY but very beautiful Ebersol Fields near Massachusetts General Hospital. Ebersol Fields is the prototype of the outrage going on on Magazine Beach. Ebersol Fields, as a byproduct, has created poisoning of the Charles River with annually recurrent algae infestation. The DCR tossed on Tartan when their beloved poisons were not sufficiently destructive to pests at Ebersol Field. The DCR, like the City of Cambridge, is offended by GREEN maintenance which has existed on the Charles River for the better part of the last century.
The DCR also commented on pending legislation to destroy responsibilities of the DCR.
Based on their presentation, it would appear that all of the actors in the State House support taking away bridge responsibilities from the DCR. The DCR hopes that they will be allowed to finish the Bridge Repair projects.
Based on their presentation, there appears to be a difference of opinion as to whether parkways should be taken away from the DCR. One of the projects the DCR continued to push in their presentation would needlessly destroy hundreds of healthy trees between the Longfellow Bridge and Magazine Beach.
The DCR’s sycophants brag that Memorial Drive will look terrific in 40 years.
This entity fits very well with the City of Cambridge.
Reprehensible is an excellent word.
The above report has been posted for the governor.
Praise for Cambridge Chronicle - Monteiro Case
1. Chronicle Reports.
2. Letter of Praise.
In the April 30, 2009, Cambridge Chronicle, the Chronicle had the Monteiro case as its lead headline.
The Chronicle wrote a very specific and quite good editorial on the matter.
The Chronicle editorial may be read at: http://www.wickedlocal.com/cambridge/news/opinions/x303487854/Editorial-Gambling-with-our-money.
It leads with:
“Gambling with taxpayer money. That’s essentially what Cambridge City Manager Bob Healy has done in a case that has lasted 11 years, embarrassed City Hall and cost taxpayers a whopping $6 million, if you include the more than $1 million in legal fees.”
Another juicy comment:
“The image of an unelected public official proposing fee hikes while pursuing his own expensive personal legal battle that so far seems unconquerable doesn’t sit well with us.”
The latest, May 7, 2009, Cambridge Chronicle, featured a guest editorial by an East Cambridge activist. It went into specific examples of outrageous behavior by the city.
This letter, by Mark Jaiquith, may be read at: http://www.wickedlocal.com/cambridge/news/opinions/x342382829/Guest-commentary-The-Bob-Healy-conundrum.
It leads with: “Has Cambridge had enough of Bob Healy?”
And comments later:
“It would be easier to deal with good old-fashioned graft, but we have something else, in my judgment no less corrupt. It’s a culture within government that what matters is the city’s bond rating, doing what He wants.”
I sent the following letter on May 7, after reviewing the paper:
You are to be commended for your editorial and for the guest editorial on the Monteiro case.
I particularly appreciated the examples given in the guest editorial.
Cambridge has a dishonest government. Cambridge keeps the voters in control through intermediaries who do not identify themselves as intermediaries and who commonly use secret definitions and who use other improper techniques.
A government which does what was done to Ms. Monteiro is not "pro-civil rights." Seven continuing city councilors rehired the City Manager.
A government which tries to keep a handicapped elder from using her guide dog is not "pro-civil rights." All eight continuing city councilors are on the wrong side.
A city government which routinely and needlessly destroys many healthy trees, but which runs around calling itself "pro-environment" is not "pro-environment." A city government which destroys green maintenance at Magazine Beach and walls off Magazine Beach from the Charles River is not "pro-environment." A city government which heartlessly abuses beautiful valuable animals is not "pro-environment." All eight continuing city councilors are on the wrong side.
A city government which destroys zoning protections while claiming to be doing the opposite is not honest. All eight continuing city councilors are on the wrong side.
I can see unidentified representatives running around calling it "politically correct" to defend reprehensible government behavior.
I can see unidentified representatives running around repeating Cambridge’s civil rights nonsense, the civil rights nonsense which was discredited by the well thought out opinion of the Monteiro judge.
I can see unidentified representatives calling it AGAINST "political correctness" TO BE IN SUPPORT of the civil rights of this BLACK WOMAN.
"Political correctness" is other than what somebody’s handler calls "politically correct" this week, especially when the record in reality is so bad and so contrary to "political correctness."
Too many voters of Cambridge have too long been kept away from the reality that we have at least eight really bad city councilors who are responsible for the current really bad city government.
I can see too many voters being told by unidentified representatives that Cambridge has a decent government. I can see too many unidentified representatives running around who do not want to know that Cambridge’s government has been found reprehensible by verdict of judge and jury.
Your editorials are an excellent first step toward responsibility in Cambridge government.
We need to go beyond the first step. Cambridge needs a government which is not reprehensible.
Cambridge Pols to Council: Save the world. Indifferent to city destruction of city.
2. Response sent to City Manager’s Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association listserve.
3. Call to action?
Below are an email announcing a city council vote sent over the City Manager’s Cambridgeport Neighborhood Association listserve and my response. My response has not yet been sent out.
Of interest is the naming of yet another “green” organization which somehow just does not want to know about ongoing environmental destruction by the City of Cambridge.
The “environmental” group sounds a lot like eight plus “environmental” city councilors and the Cambridge city manager.
Their definition of “environmental” is dramatically demonstrated by the ongoing destruction. You may also read the definition of “environmental” by the Cambridge Pols organization at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2007_05_29_archive.html.
The opinion of judge and jury on the Cambridge City Government, “reprehensible,” may be read at: http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2009/04/judge-issues-decision-denying.html.
Sent Saturday, 5/9/09
If the councilors were serious about the world's climate and its environment, they have no further to go than their own behavior on the Charles River, at Fresh Pond, at Alewife and in the needless destruction of so many healthy mature trees in their various projects.

There is a policy order on the Cambridge City Council agenda this Monday evening (May 11) recognizing that there is a climate emergency and requesting the City Manager "to direct the appropriate city departments to increase the City's responses to a scale proportionate to the emergency and consistent with the city's own Climate Protection goals for 2010 and beyond." The full text is at http://www.cambridg ema.gov/cityCler k/PolicyOrder. cfm?item_ id=25054 Three Councillors have signed on - Marjorie Decker, Timm Toomey, and Henrietta Davis.
This comes out of a Green Decade/Cambridge initiative to ask the Council to recognize the climate emergency and mobilize the city to take appropriate action. It could be a huge opportunity - not only for a new level of action in Cambridge, but to have a much broader impact. We need to get the word out everywhere - to the public and to policy makers - that the climate crisis is now a global emergency and that we have a rapidly narrowing window in which to act if we are to have any chance of averting a runaway catastrophe.
We need as many people as possible to come to the Council meeting Monday evening to show that there is popular support for this resolution. Also, we want to get the Council to call a citywide hearing and not just pass this without meaningful follow-up. Please come if you can! Public comment starts a little after 5:30. If you want to get on the list to speak, you can call the City Council office Monday between 10 and 3 at 617-349-4280. Or you can sign up to speak when you get there. Or you can just come and not speak but show support by being there and by applauding the people who do speak.
Or if you can't come, you can email the entire Council on any item by using Council@Cambridgema .gov and the City Manager at healy@Cambridgema. gov.
Response to "Environmental" Praise for Representative Alice Wolf
Still catching up.
The following was printed in the April 23, 2009, Cambridge Chronicle.
The document from a Cambridge City Councilor to which the letter refers was written by Samuel Seidel. It is published on this blog at http://charlesriverwhitegeeseblog.blogspot.com/2007_05_29_archive.html.
I, with regret, have become quite skeptical of organizations and pols which call themselves “environmental” in Cambridge .
I know that I have been publicly mocked by one key Cambridge pol because I have the temerity to believe in the world’s definition of “environmentalism”. Cambridge pols, he said, have a better definition.
A letter in this week's Chronicle praises Representative Wolf on "environmental" grounds, including praise for protecting our scenic parkways and bridges.
I do not consider destruction of the Green maintenance at Magazine Beach for replacement with maintenance with herbicides to be something worthy of environmental commendation. These poisons are destructive to water fowl and not helpful to humans.
I do not consider the bizarre wall of introduced vegetation blocking access between Magazine Beach and the river to be anything other than what the key DCR bureaucrat has bragged of: a tool to starve the local waterfowl.
I see code words for protecting the environmentally reprehensible Department of Conservation and Recreation which, along with Cambridge and its pols, is destroying all animals living on or visiting the Charles River between the Watertown Dam and the harbor.
The DCR annually poisons as much waterfowl eggs as it can get away with. Twice a year, the DCR destroys all protective vegetation for migrating birds, except for the bizarre starvation wall at Magazine Beach .
The DCR seems to toss in as much animal harm as it can get away with in its projects. The BU Bridge repairs destroy key ground vegetation for staging that should go under Memorial Drive . The project completes total destruction of ground vegetation between the BU Bridge and the BU Boathouse which has been done in stages starting in 2004.
The “protection of bridges” has included addition of light pollution on three Charles River bridges.
The DCR, Cambridge, and Cambridge pols are involved in heartless animal abuse directed at the Charles River White Geese.
Sounds to me like the definition of environmentalism being used is the 19th Century of environmentalism: destroy, destroy, destroy, and make it look good.
You add to that the apparent plans to remove the playing fields at Magazine Beach from general public use. Neighborhood kids trying to use at least one Russell Field playing field have been chased off by the police for not getting prior city permission. This same “improvement” is scheduled to be implemented at Magazine Beach .
I am not happy.
Destroy Alewife and Save Silver Maple? Bad idea.
I have been remiss in reporting published letters.
The following letter was printed in the Cambridge Chronicle on April 9, 2009. I had previously commented in these pages that I thought the Chronicle had decided not to print the letter to which I was responding.
They printed. I responded. The Chronicle published.
Well meaning folks wrote a letter opposing destruction of the PRIVATELY OWNED Silver Maple Forest but supporting destruction of the PUBLICLY OWNED Alewife Reservation a hundred feet or so from Silver Maple.
A cynical reader could react that the writers’ support of environmental destruction a few feet from Silver Maple which they want protected proves the writers to be opponents of affordable housing.
Such a reaction does not reflect the singular treatment good people are subjected to when they try to protect the environment in or near the City of Cambridge.
You see, Cambridge’s extremely destructive City Manager has a massive organization which descends on good people who try to protect the environment. Techniques frequently include deceptive statements, lies, misstatements, and key omissions.
It is quite certain that the operatives did not tell these decent people a number of things.
First, there is a very reasonable alternative to destruction of the Alewife reservation. Destruction of the Alewife Reservation is for flood storage. The reasonable place for the flood storage is under the large parking lot about 500 feet south of Alewife, just north of the railroad tracks. That owner is considering developing.
Secondly, the proposed destruction comes from a government which is flat out reprehensible on environmental issues.
The support of destruction of the Alewife Reservation by these good people has a qualifier based on a third common game. The operatives commonly talk about due process and lovely reviews. They do not tell who the “reviewers” are.
The letter mentions some sort of committee. The good people who wrote the letter would never be told that the committee is appointed by the key destroyer, and they would not be told the dangers to people appointed by the Cambridge City Manager who stand up to the Cambridge City Manager.
A jury recently considered the treatment by the Cambridge City Manager of a black woman department head who had the nerve to file a civil rights action. Malvina Monteiro, according to the jury, had her life destroyed in retaliation. The jury awarded $1.1 million real damages and $3.5 million penal damages. The judge is considering the verdict and hopefully will change it to firing the city manager without pension.
But we have decent people fooled into an irresponsible statement.
I have sympathy for those good people and for saving the environment which is our mutual concern. I have great lack of respect for the bad people who fooled these good people into a silly, destructive statement.

Why do you play music?
I started sharing music via cassettes in 6th grade – I would record songs I liked off the radio, then also record a rambling monologue about why these particular songs were cool, and, mail the finished product to 2 friends in a neighboring town that I had met at basketball camp. The idea was they were supposed to record over the tapes with their own songs and “analysis”, and then send them back to me. We all know how this story ends. I mention this because not a lot has changed – I have taken the liberty of forcing my musical taste onto others for a VERY long time, and, DJing is just kind of the updated version of sending tapes of cool songs to people and wanting to connect and have a shared musical experience with them.
**If you take away one thing from this paragraph, it is that I still think I’m in 6th grade.
What do you see as your role in the music world going into the future?
Longevity and carving out my own sustainable niche in the music world is really important to me at this point in my life and career. I’m not messing around anymore, and, I’ve been taking steps to make music a much bigger part of my daily life – both creatively and financially. I have very lofty goals for myself, and, it actually feels really wonderful to finally have the confidence to admit what I want to do and just go for it. I still have much to learn about dance music history, and, wish I would’ve started playing house and techno about a decade ago, but, this feeling that I’m lagging behind my peers has made me work all that much harder to get to the level where I want to be. Basically, I’m here and I’m serious – get used to it!
Favorite label or artist from the past year?
Label(z) – L.I.E.S., MOS Deep, Nonplus, Dolly
Artist(z) – probably Rrose…he really blew my mind – and locally – Vin Sol tore it up!
**Do you like how I ignored that you asked for a single artist or label?
What are you looking forward to most this year?
I am REALLY looking forward to finishing tracks I’ve been working on; figuring out how to run a record label; producing and DJing bigger events; buying more records; and, traveling and collaborating. Also, finding the perfect bowl of pho.
What is behind the name Doc Sleep? Sounds kinda kinky.
I wish it was kinky or that I had a better story to go along with it! I had about a 1-day deadline to come up with a name for my first gig back in the day, and, after going through all the names that actually made sense for a DJ, I decided to go with the title of a book I was reading at the time, Doctor Sleep by Madison Smartt Bell…because, who WOULDN’T be extremely excited to go dance to a DJ with “Sleep” as part of their name. WOW.

Corporate Relevance:Communications Strategies in the COVID-19 Age
2020年5月22日 Featured News, Healthcare
1. Should we expect a paradigm shift?
Finally we are seeing a flattening of the worldwide COVID-19 curve and lifting of lockdowns across major cities. On May 14, Japan lifted its state of emergency for 39 prefectures. With people and businesses asked to either refrain entirely or severely restrict so many activities during the crisis, we are now entering a new phase of resuming daily life while coexisting with the virus.
Some experts are predicting that the post-COVID-19 world will be accompanied by a transformational paradigm shift, spanning every aspect of our lives from business and commerce, to education to politics. Indeed, the pandemic has already ushered in rapid adoption of long-advocated initiatives, such as cashless society, online shopping, teleworking, paperless society, online education, and telemedicine. We can now finally predict that Japan will see step changes in these areas, with COVID-19 acting as the catalyst.
2. Communicating with citizens and consumers online
How has the business response to COVID-19 been perceived?
As with the rest of the world, companies in Japan have been driving measures such as teleworking to curb infections. A number of businesses also refocused resources and output to meet changing needs, whether it be supporting healthcare professionals or creating content for citizens staying at home. In their own way, each of these companies are making positive contributions to their community and society as a whole.
Garnering praise across traditional and social media alike, these initiatives deliver content while still encouraging social distancing, such as branded, printable coloring-in images for restless children stuck at home, workout videos, tips on how to make the perfect home coffee, or ‘secret’ recipes from renowned restaurants released on YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. These businesses are using online communications with citizens and consumers to their advantage by adding value and winning positive attention.（See more in Japanese.）
3. Latest W2O report in the spotlight
Healthcare marketing communications specialist and our California-based global partner, W2O, tracks the relevance of leading companies using proprietary online and offline metrics. W2O’s unique “Relevance Model” examines the achievements of companies with high degrees of relevance and are winning praise from media and stakeholders during COVID-19-related adversity. The results published in its latest report offer some valuable insights into the post-COVID-19 world.
In this newsletter we have compiled a summary of W2O’s “Relevance Model” with selected excerpts from its latest report below.
4. What does “relevance” mean for business?
In the marketing world, relevance is often defined as “a measure of how important your business brand is to meet the wants and needs of the consumer.” W2O expands on this by defining relevance as, “a data-driven, agile way of thinking and operating that is attuned to societal and cultural currency.”
For a company to boost its relevance, it needs to reduce the gap that lies between company expertise (capabilities, lines of business, and future growth) and stakeholder expectations (political, technological, cultural and generational). In other words, these two areas should meet and overlap as much as possible.
W2O has been tracking the relevance of 240 companies for three years with its unique evaluation metrics that monitor mainstream articles and social media to grasp what business stakeholders are interested in, and how businesses are responding. The results for 2019 reveal that only 6% of 140 healthcare-related businesses were ranked as having “strong” relevance.
Among Fortune 100 companies, those with “strong” relevance stood at just 8%, of which only 1% were regarded as “resilient”. Healthcare industry stakeholders and media recorded interest in controversial topics, such as health insurance, marijuana, and mental health, demonstrating how challenging it can be for businesses in this field to differentiate themselves and be recognized as positive influences.
5. COVID-19 and society’s changing interests
US citizens have been fixated on COVID-19 since January 2020. Public attention has shifted away from President Trump and the presidential primaries. With public sentiment so dominated by the pandemic, some businesses were successful in driving their relevance, while others lost out. The key here is agility – a company’s ability to reprioritize to meet shifting public expectation（See COSMO Newsletter #4 for case studies of companies in the relevance ranking here in Japanese）
It’s against this backdrop that W2O updated its “Relevance Model” to more accurately evaluate maintaining good relations with key stakeholders over time. Under the new model, they have evaluated the characteristics of businesses still scoring high relevance now.
Crucially, businesses in this category all embrace tension: “Companies with high relevance do not see conflicting issues as something bipolar, but rather focus on striking a balance between the issues.” Let’s take a closer look at the implications of this.
6. From ‘OR’ to‘AND’: Striking a balance when conflicting elements cause tension
National vs. Local
Relevant organizations recognize and engage within the tension that lies between national, state, and city-level leadership. They do so by providing a point-of-view on the resulting differences and encouraging open discussion, particularly among employees.
Public Health vs. the Economy
Relevant organizations are mindful of the conflict of interest between public health, the economy and civil liberties. They prioritize health, but create policies for returning to work and protecting jobs.
Societal Good vs. Long-Term Business Sustainability
Relevant organizations step up to provide goods and services for free or at significantly reduced prices for the common good, having planned ahead for the long-term sustainability of their operations. These efforts are typically done without much fanfare.
New Ways of Marketing
Relevant organizations empathize with and support stakeholders more than marketing to them. Some significantly limit or completely suspend advertising. Some donate their ad space to small businesses. Nonetheless, consumers are indicating that marketing for things unrelated to the virus is acceptable. 90% of Google ads are non-COVID-19-related and performing well.
The New Normal vs. the Next Normal
Organizations with high relevance are not just adapting now. They’re already thinking about how to sustain it post-COVID-19.
7. Organizations that boosted relevance even during the pandemic
The latest W2O report tracks the relevance of businesses from January to April 2020, offering insights on fluctuations and the actions that caused them:
■ Boston Scientific
Boston Scientific will start manufacturing a low-cost ventilator developed by the University of Minnesota, as a back-up alternative for doctors. The FDA granted the technology emergency use authorization amid the COVID-19 outbreak. Boston Scientific’s relevance score increased by 5% and its ranking moved up to #7 from #13. Generated coverage from Bloomberg, The Boston Globe and healthcare vertical.
■ VERTEX
Vertex made an emergency offer of free cystic fibrosis medication for 90 days to the pan-Canadian Pharmaceutical Alliance if they agreed to negotiate in good faith and conclude on a Price Listing Agreement. Vertex’s relevance score is up 13%. Ranking moved up to #20 from #57.
■ CRISPR
CRISPR’s gene editing technology may scale to COVID-19 testing. Researchers published a study last week describing a new COVID-19 test that uses the technique to deliver results in 40 minutes. CRISPR’s relevance score is up 90%.
■ Disney
Disney’s April 16 “Family Singalong” on ABC.com brought together a star-studded line-up to entertain families at home. The special raised awareness of Feeding America and its network for those needing support during the pandemic. The show drew 13M total viewers. Disney’s relevance score is up 51% in two weeks and the company is currently ranked #7. The company has seen high relevance volatility dropping in and out of the top 10.
■ Google & Apple
Google and Apple announced a partnership to build a contact tracing technology for their smartphone platforms. The opt-in technology would alert users if they have come in contact with a COVID-19 infected person. Privacy advocates have raised concerns because the technology involves sharing sensitive health information via mobile devices. However, Google’s score is up 25% while Apple’s score is up 46%. Google holds on to its #6 ranking, with Apple at #4.
8. COVID-19 lessons to live by
The W2O report concludes: “It’s taken some time for stakeholders and organizations to embrace these tensions as an ‘AND’ not an ‘OR.’ As we observe that consumers are engaging with less news on COVID-19, it’s ever-more important that companies continue to recognize that.”
In summary, here are seven key lessons to take away:
Empathy is key
Actions speak louder than words
Response initiatives must account for all stakeholders and be long-term centric
Transparency is not optional
Partnerships drive faster innovation
Agility is essential
Stability is expected
We hope these selected findings from W2O’s latest report will be of value when building your own communications strategies for the new COVID-19 age. (Click here to see the full report).
W2O’s US-based “Relevance Model” evaluation and ranking has been well received by clients. Having introduced the concept, we hope to see a similar model developed for Japan that caters to local business and organizational characteristics. Where will your organization rank?

While my sister Doti was in the Hospice House, we talked about having a small ceremony for her after she passed away. In her mind she carefully arranged everything, in typical Doti fashion, and she asked me to play three songs during the ceremony:
Tis the Gift to be Simple
Dona, Dona, Dona
Take a Little Love and Pass It On
I'd never heard of any of these songs, but I told her that I'd look into them and would perhaps post them on my website, as well. She mentioned these songs a few more times during the next few weeks, so they must have been important to her. I recently found them on the Internet, two of them on iTunes. So to honor her request I'm posting them below.
Also known as "Simple Gifts," this is a traditional Shaker song written in 1848. This version is by Judy Collins, one of Doti's favorite singers.
This song was played for a simple Shaker dance and the "turning" refers to dance instructions. When the traditional dance is performed properly, each dancer ends up where he or she began, "come 'round right." I think Doti liked this song because she believed in simplicity. I think she would've been a great Shaker!
'Tis the gift to be simple, 'tis the gift to be free
'Tis the gift to come down where we ought to be,
And when we are in the place just right,
'Twill be in the valley of love and delight.
When true simplicity is gained,
To bow and to bend we will not be ashamed,
To turn, to turn 'twill be our delight,
Till by turning, turning we come 'round right.
Written for a Yiddish play in 1940, this song was popularized in the 1960s by Joan Baez, one of Doti's favorite singers. Joan doubled the "n" and called her version "Donna, Donna." It's about a calf being led to slaughter and was a popular anti-war song during the 1960s, which is, I'm sure, why it was one of Doti's favorites. In fact, I'm sure she sang this song many times in her youth.
On a wagon bound for market
There's a calf with a mournful eye
High above him there's a swallow
Winging swiftly through the sky
How the winds are laughing
They laugh with all their might
Laugh and laugh the whole day through
And half the summer's night
Donna Donna Donna Donna
Donna Donna Donna Don
"Stop complaining", said the farmer
Who told you a calf to be
Why don't you have wings to fly with
Like the swallow so proud and free
They laugh with all their their might
Calves are easily bound and slaughtered
Never knowing the reason why
But whoever treasures freedom
Like the swallow has learned to fly
I'd never heard of this song and had a hard time finding it. My searches on iTunes and all the streaming services turned up nothing. Was this actually a song, I started to wonder? But after a lot of searching on the Internet, I finally found a recording of it -- though it was pretty poor quality. As I discovered, it's an inspirational / gospel tune, which isn't surprising considering that Doti loved gospel music.
The song was written by a songwriter named Fran Powers, perhaps in the early 1970s. As far as I know, this version of the song, which was sung by Roy Rogers in 1972, was the only version ever recorded. Roy even named his whole album after this song, calling his LP, "Pass It On." As I mentioned above, the version I found on the Internet was really poor, so I decided to order the vinyl album and, using my turntable, I converted it to MP3 format, and I've posted that MP3 version here. The vinyl album was in mint condition so the recording here is pretty good quality -- probably as good as you'll find.
After hearing this song for the first time, I absolutely loved it because the words and melody were very uplifting and made me think of Doti. If you read the lyrics, I think you'll agree that it's how Doti lived her life, so I can understand why she enjoyed this song so much.
Take a little trust and pass it on
You can't sell it, you can't buy it
But it's free if you want to try it
Come on and take a little love and pass it on.
When someone does you a kindness
Don't stop to ask him why
Just say thanks my friend and then pass it on
Things you do to help your brother
He might do unto another
So take a little love and pass it on.
Pass it on, start a season of rebirth
Don't let prejudice and hatred
Interfere with peace on Earth
Show your fellow man you care
Kneel and join him in a prayer
Love was meant for us to share so pass it on.
Yes, take a little trust and pass it on
We may have different colored skins
But you could color us as friends
If we just take a little love and pass it on.
When someone gives you the credit
For all the good things you have done
Chances are you had some help from one or two
Rare new things are accomplished if you have to work alone
Take your credit where it's due and pass it on.
Pass it on, pass it on and help my story
I don't care who gets the credit
if the good Lord gets the glory
There's so much good we could do
If it didn't matter who got that credit
So take yours and pass it on.

Blockchain Weekly Recap 2-27-2016
Home » Technology » Blockchain Weekly Recap 2-27-2016
Mizuho Launches Two Blockchain Endeavors
Mizuho Financial Group (MFG) announced this week that it is pursuing two projects involving blockchain technology. The ventures include a partnership with Cognizant to pursue blockchain record-keeping solutions for use by MFG enterprises, and an effort to collaborate with three other Japanese firms in a project that utilizes Microsoft Azure’s BaaS.
The Tokyo-based financial giant reportedly serves one-fifth of all Japanese citizens, and claims assets in excess of one and a half trillion dollars. The announced plans are part of the company’s stated strategic goal of leading the way in blockchain technology acceptance throughout Japan.
Mediachain Protocol Offers Promise of Digital Content Rights Database
A new metadata protocol called Mediachain may finally help digital content creators resolve one of the most pressing online challenges they face: developing and managing a system to protect their digital work. The new protocol relies on blockchain technology to provide the sort of time-stamped metadata content needs if ownership rights are to be maintained.
Mediachain’s initial focus has been directed toward image data management, a process that not only provides creators the ability to attack identifiers to their work, but also permits users to locate creator information. The ultimate goal is to provide the foundational layer for identity verification that others can use to build the types of distribution platforms that could make it easier for creators to monetize their digital works.
New European Central Bank Report Explains New Interest in Blockchain
A growing number of central banks around the world are now showing more interest in the potential benefits offered by the blockchain, and the European Central Bank apparently shares their optimism. I a new report released by the ECB this week, the central bank revealed that it is now conducting blockchain tests in an attempt to enhance the security of its payment systems.
That report, Eurosystem's Vision for the Future of Europe’s Financial Market Infrastructure, explores everything from the technological, functional, and business opportunities currently on the horizon to the need for further examination of how technologies like distributed ledgers could help to revolutionize banking services.
Factom Partners with China’s Ancun Zhengxin for Blockchain Notary service
Factom is reportedly partnering with Chinese data notarization firm Ancun Zhengxin to create a customized blockchain-based notary solution for use throughout China. The Chinese company currently services 28 of China’s 34 provinces, providing services in a total of 100 locations.
Factom is a recognized blockchain solutions expert, and will bring its expertise to bear in the development of a blockchain-based interface designed to help Ancun Zhengxin achieve increased accountability and transparency, as well as lower costs for its notary services.
UK FCA: No Blockchain Regulation for Now
Citing the need to give blockchain technology the freedom it needs to grow and develop, the United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) announced that it has no current plans to begin regulation of the industry. The Authority’s Director of Strategy and Competition, Christopher Woolard, made that announcement earlier this week at London FinTech Week.
Woolard did acknowledge that the FCA will at some point have to examine various consumer issues and regulatory concerns once the technology has had time to evolve. For now, however, the FCA plans to monitor progress with the technology to see what path its development takes.
ISITC Believes Blockchain Evolution to Become Clearer within Eighteen Months
According to recent statements by executives with the International Securities Association for Institutional Trade Communication (ISITC) – an association dedicated to the promotion of greater efficiency for securities trading, the investment world should have a much clearer picture of the blockchain’s impact sometime within the next twelve to eighteen months.
One official, Nigel Solkhon of Citi in London, notes that this emerging technology is growing and developing very rapidly, in no small measure due to the large amount of research investment the industry has received. These recent statements come on the heels of the organization’s first blockchain technology gathering, which was held last week in London.
