Hear Jon Hopkins new track Singing Bowl (Ascension), the first in a new meditative series – NME
Posted: at 4:47 pm
Jon Hopkins has launched a new Meditations series and shared its first track listen to Singing Bowl (Ascension) below.
The track was created using vibrations from a 100-year-old singing bowl that Hopkins found in an antique shop in Delhi.
The first version of what became the new track was heard at a 2019 installation at the Helsinki Arts Festival. Listen to the new track below.
Talking about creativity during the coronavirus pandemic, and the process of creating the new track, Hopkins said: Like so many people I felt pretty paralysed by this situation when it first unfolded. All my plans for the year were cancelled, and everything felt so weird and dreamlike. But gradually I found I wanted to create something to find peace and perspective through making music, as I have always done.
It felt beautifully pure to just use one acoustic sound source, and no synths. It was liberating to write something without playing anything on a keyboard to avoid the familiar diatonic scale for the first time, and thus avoid any of my own conditioned playing habits.

He added: There was a magic in setting this generative system in motion then just letting the vibrations of this bowl create their own world. I listened to harmonics layering on top of harmonics for hours and was transported.
Singing Bowl (Ascension) appears on a new meditative 24-hour playlist that Hopkins curated for Spotify, which you can listen to here.
Jon Hopkins last shared new music back in February with stripped-back, acoustic track Scene Suspended. It follows 2018 LP Singularity, which NME described as perfectly showcasing the producers painstaking hypnotic mastery.

From Ascension St. Vincent’s: The Year of the Nurse – Trussvilletribune
Posted: at 4:47 pm
To be a fellow worker with God is the highest aspiration of which we can conceive man capable.Florence Nightingale, founder of the modern nursing profession (1820-1910)
Florence Nightingales words echo the Mission, Vision and Values of Ascension nurses across the nation as they answer the call to serve their communities with an incredible strength of healing during these unprecedented times.
Well before this pandemic revealed itself, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Nurses Association (ANA) designated 2020 the Year of the Nurse. While this was done largely because 2020 marks the 200th anniversary of Florence Nightingales birthday, I cant help but think the WHO and ANA had some level of divine foresight that nursing would further differentiate itself this yearand it certainly has. At this point in time, our often unsung caregivers are now widely recognized as healthcare heroes.
We have seen countless nurses leave their homes to bravely face the greatest global healthcare challenge of our time. We are grateful for and humbled by the unwavering dedication to patient care displayed daily by nurses nationwide as they lead with their fellow caregivers at the front line of this pandemic.
At a time when many patients are alone and isolated from their families, nurses have gone beyond clinical care with simple acts of compassion to brighten long days of solitude, and even fear. Across Ascension St Vincents hospitals, weve seen nurses sing to our patients, pray with our patients and families, play games while in isolation from the other side of a patients glass room door and enable countless virtual visits for patients and families to remain connected. I havenever been more proud to be a nurse, and I have never been more proud to serve the Ministry of Ascension St. Vincents.
We are also grateful for the communities that have stepped up to support and show appreciation to nurses. So many people, both young and old, have showered our nurses with meals, letters, encouraging chalk messages, childrens drawings, and signage around hospital entrances andwalkways for our teams to see and appreciate as they start and finish their shifts.
As it turns out, 2020 truly may be the Year of the Nurse. And as we celebrate Nurses Week, let us remain committed to fearlessly serving those in need, no matter the challenge.
To all nurses Happy Nurses Week and Thank You for making 2020 The Year of the Nurse.
Chris Moore MSN, RN, MBASystem Chief Operating Officer & Chief Nursing Officer Ascension St. Vincents

Becoming A Mom Influenced Decision To Be A Nurse – Wgnsradio

(L-R) Amber and Wendy both following their dreams as a nurse.
(MURFREESBORO) "As early as kindergarten, I knew I wanted to be a nurse," says Wendy Underwood, an RN and team lead in the NICU at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford Hospital. Wendy played "nurse" and wrote about her pretend patients in a little notebook she treasured as a young girl. She would ultimately obtain her nursing education at Columbia State Community College in Franklin.
ADVERTISEMENT
During one rotation at Ascension Saint Thomas Midtown (then known as Baptist hospital), Wendy was given an impromptu tour of the NICU by a more experienced nurse. "I truly wish I knew that nurse's name, but I can tell you now that she forever changed the course of my career," says Wendy. Wendy felt an immediate tug in heart towards NICU babies and wanted to serve them and their mothers however she could.
Her calling became even more personal when Wendy and her husband became parents themselves. She was still completing nursing school when her daughter Amber was born in 1996 at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford, then known as MTMC. Amber was born prematurely and required extra care in the "special care area," a precursor of the NICU. Wendy says that watching the nurses care for her daughter during this stressful time was further confirmation that she was destined to work in the NICU.
Today, Amber is a healthy young adult following in her mother's footsteps by studying nursing at Columbia State. Wendy suspects that, for many nurses: "It's in our blood. I think most of us are born with it."
Further evidence that this calling is all in the family? Amber's great-grandmother on her father's side was a nurse in Rutherford County from 1962 to 1977. Her name was Letisha Breedlove Stoker and her portrait hangs on a wall at Ascension Saint Thomas Rutherford.

Why Was Baseball Hall of Famer Ted Williams Decapitated? – Sportscasting
Posted: at 4:46 pm
Ted Williams was one of the greatest hitters in MLB history. The two-time Triple Crown winner and 17-time All-Star remains the last batter to finish a season with an average above .400. Sadly, since the Hall of Famer died in July 2002, his name is associated more with the things done to his body after death than his innumerable baseball accomplishments. Why was Ted Williams decapitated after his death?
The list of accomplishments in Ted Williams 19-year career is long. He won six batting titles and led the American League in home runs and RBIs four times. In 1941, the 22-year-old Williams hit .406 for the season and that included 37 home runs and 120 RBIs. He was the last hitter to ever hit above .400.
Williams followed up in 1942 with another stellar performance becoming the first-ever player to win the Triple Crown leading the league with a .356 average, hitting 36 homers, and driving in 137 RBIs. Unbelievably, he finished second in MVP voting that season.
After three years of military service in World War II, Williams returned to baseball and resumed right where he left off. He finished the 1946 season with a .342 average and won the first of two MVPs in his career. He also played in his only World Series that season. He won the Triple Crown for a second time in 1947 and retired in 1960 with a lifetime average of .344.
Williams was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1966.
When Ted Williams died in Florida on July 5, 2002 at age 83, things got weird fast. Despite his wishes to be cremated and his ashes scattered in the Florida Keys, his son John Henry and youngest daughter Claudia opted to have his body sent to Scottsdale, Arizona to be frozen at the Alcor cryonics facility.
Cryonics is a process done with the hope that someday scientists will be able to bring the subjects back to life. The heads and bodies are stored in stainless steel containers at extremely cold temperatures.
When Williams oldest daughter, Bobby-Jo Ferrell learned about the plan of her siblings, she sued. John Henrys lawyer produced a family pact signed by Ted, Claudia, and John Henry, where the three agreed to be placed into biostasis after death. While there was legal wrangling back and forth between the siblings questioning the authenticity of Williams signature, Ferrell eventually dropped her lawsuit due to a lack of funds.
Several months later his death made headlines for a second time when it was discovered that Williams head had been decapitated by surgeons and stored separately from his body at the Alcor facility.
In 2009, the bizarre circumstances of the Splendid Splinters death and actions that followed took an even stranger twist with the release of a book from a former Alcor employee. In Larry Johnsons book Frozen: My Journey Into the World of Cryonics, Deception and Death, he offered up details on how employees at Alcor allegedly mistreated the Hall of Famers body.
Johnson wrote in one incident where an empty tuna can was used as a pedestal to support the batters head and had stuck to it during transportation from one container to another. An Alcor employee allegedly decided to use a monkey wrench in an attempt to dislodge the can from the head.
Then he grabbed a monkey wrench, heaved a mighty swing, missing the tuna can completely but hitting the head dead center, Johnson wrote. Tiny pieces of frozen head sprayed around the room. The author detailed how a second swing knocked the can loose.
Alcor denied all allegations that there was any mistreatment of Ted Williams. John Henry died just two years later in 2004 from leukemia. His body was transported to Alcor.

Does Trump know his own government indirectly bankrolls some key promoters of the Russiagate hoax? – RT
Posted: at 4:46 pm
US President Donald Trump was elected on a promise to drain the swamp. Almost four years later, the Washington think-tank racket is as murky as ever, and the gravy train keeps rolling.
The false Trump/Russia collusion narrative has been dead for so long now that its hard to remember what killed it, whether it was the Mueller Report or simply death by a thousand cuts.
Here is what we know: Russiagate was a giant scam, and many of those who promoted it knowingly lied for a considerable length of time. Their aim was either to undermine Trumps presidency or prevent any improvement in US relations with Russia.
Most of the journalists who facilitated the hoax also knew it was nonsense. But their loathing of Trump and in some cases Russia, too trumped ethical considerations. Thus, much of the general public was, for years, fed a diet of grifters and washed-up old spooks pushing a scam.
The crazy thing is that many of its chief architects work for Washington think tanks funded by the US government. Given Trump has taken no obvious steps to curtail public funding for these lobby groups, it means the presidents own cabinet has been effectively bankrolling activists who are out to smear and destroy him.
Take Evelyn Farkas. A rabidly anti-Russia official in Barack Obamas government, she was subsequently looked after with a gig at NATOs Atlantic Council adjunct. This has become a traditional route in DC. When one party loses power, its apparatchiks are placed in a sort of think-tank racket cryonics chamber from which they can be reanimated in future, if their own tribe gets back into the White House.
Farkas, a former deputy assistant secretary of defense for Russia, Ukraine and Eurasia, told MSNBC TV in 2017 that the Trump campaign colluded with the Russian government to win the 2016 presidential election.
But, as Townhall reports, during an interview with the House Intelligence Committee in June 2017, where she was under oath, she admitted she didnt have any information about collusion during that interview.
As its correspondent Katie Pavlich points out, through dozens of House Intelligence Committee transcripts and after a lengthy Special Counsel investigation, it was clear from the beginning Russian collusion with the Trump campaign was a made-up talking point that was used as a political weapon.
Farkas involvement fits a pattern. Her dad came from an elite Hungarian family who had their status diluted after the Soviets installed a communist government in Budapest following World War Two. Farkas background is important, because US media ignores how many of the people who pushed the Trump-Russia hoax come from East European migrant families with an axe to grind against the Russians.
The idea that Russia stole emails from the Democratic National Congress (DNC) was based on information from CrowdStrike. This cybersecurity firm was the source of the allegation that Russian intelligence agencies had hacked the DNCs servers. You may remember the Fancy Bear and Cozy Bear narrative which was popularised by US media at the time.
CrowdStrikes co-founder Dmitri Alperovitch was born in Moscow and moved to the US with his family at the age of 14. Like Farkas, he is also attached to the Atlantic Council, and his first published involvement with the pro-NATO pressure group was in 2012.
Back in 2016, he was lionised by mainstream US media, with Esquire, for instance, saying he was our special forces (and Putins worst nightmare) and leading the fight to protect America.
It has now emerged that the following year, his partner at CrowdStrike Shawn Henry told Congress in closed-door testimony, previously buried that CrowdStrike had no concrete evidence that the data was exfiltrated from the DNC.
In other words, as journalist Aaron Mate has pointed out, CrowdStrike, the very firm behind the accusation that Russia hacked & stole DNC emails, admitted to Congress that it has no direct evidence Russia actually stole (or) exfiltrated the emails.
Of course, promoting Russiagate wasnt limited to the immigrant community. The likes of Bill Kristol, Michael McFaul, John Podesta and Clint Watts are all connected to the German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMFUS), another DC lobby group which receives US government funding.
Watts was front and centre in pushing the hoax, while McFaul was at one point ubiquitous on cable news shows waffling on about Russia helping Trump to win the 2016 election. Podesta, meanwhile, alleged his emails were hacked by Russia while he was chair of Hillary Clintons failed presidential campaign.
The GMFUS receives over $1 million annually from both the US State Department and USAID. Meanwhile, the Atlantic Council gets between $500,000 and $999,000 a year from the same State Department and $100,000 to $249,000 from each of the US Air Force Academy and the US Department of Defence.
Which means Trumps government is partially funding the people who tried to destroy his presidency, based on a falsehood obvious to honest observers from the very start. So much for the US presidents campaign promise to drain the swamp.

Small business loans, transfer station hours, construction and other Barnstable Town Notes – Barnstable Patriot
Posted: at 4:44 pm
The State Treasurer's Office of Economic Empowerment is offering Empowerment Grants to support Massachusetts small businesses amid this spring's coronavirus outbreak.
Grants will be focused on small business owners located in Massachusetts Gateway Cities, including Barnstable. Businesses that are minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and/or immigrant-owned and have been in business for at least one year are encouraged to apply.
Preference will given to small businesses in industries especially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including home cleaning services, personal training/fitness, brick and mortar establishments (excluding chain stores and marketing franchises), and personal care services, such as hair and nail salons.
The application deadline is May 29, and funding decisions will be made by June 12. Complete details are online at http://www.mass.gov.
Transfer Station hours
The Transfer Station and Recycling Center are temporarily closed on Tuesdays and Wednesdays at least through Monday, May 18.
"On the busier days, despite our best attempts, this area does not provide for appropriate social distancing," Supervisor P.J. Kelleher said in a May 4 statement. "These measures are being done to provide a safe environment for our employees and our residents."
These measures create redundancy in staffing and assist in continuing the ability to provide essential services during a time when social and physical distancing are key elements being used to combat COVID-19.
Recycling is not considered an essential service during a State of Emergency; however, the Transfer Station is an essential operation to town residents, Kelleher said. Current sticker holders may continue to utilize the facility to dispose of trash.
Recycling Sticker holders will be limited to disposal of scrap metals, disposal of yard waste, and access to free compost. The acceptance of chargeable recyclable items has been temporarily suspended. These items include but are not limited to mattresses, TVs, white goods, and toilets.
The transfer station office and gate house are closed to the public and all person-to-person transactions suspended. Staff is available to answer phone calls at 508-420-2258.
The Construction & Demolition (C&D) Area will be accepting material with restrictions. All vehicles disposing of C&D material will be required to weigh the material on the scale. The gate attendant will direct the vehicle via intercom on how to proceed.
Payments for C&D material will be accepted by check only. Cash and electronic payments will not be accepted. Check payments may be placed inside a designated box/container at the intercom system. Receipts and weigh slips will not be issued during this time.
The above measures follow the recommended guidance of social and physical distancing and strive to limit the amount of disruption these changes may cause.
Call for public comment
The Town of Barnstable Planning and Development Department is accepting comments on substantial amendments to the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) 2019 Action Plan and Citizen Participation Plan. A summary of the amendments is posted on the town website: http://www.townofbarnstable.us/departments/cdbg/
The purpose of the amendments is to apply for Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) funding and flexibilities provided to make it easier to use CDBG-CV funds and 2019 and 2020 program year funds for coronavirus response. The town anticipates receiving $168,324 in CDBG Coronavirus (CDBG-CV) funds.
Complying with the flexibilities provided under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Securities (CARES) Act the Town will accept comments for a period of not less than five days from this notice.
Please submit comments by email to kathleen.girouard@town.barnstable.ma.us with CDBG Comments in the subject line please. Comments received by May 12 will be considered and included in submission to HUD.
Kent leaves Lions
Chris Kent coached the St. John Paul II boys hockey team to its two most successful seasons in program history. The Lions won their first-ever playoff game during the 2018-19 school year, and for the 2019-20 season set a number of school records, including most wins (17), best regular-season record (17-2-3), most goals scored (127), fewest goals allowed (33), most shutouts in a season (6), best goals against average by a goalie (Gunnar Stevens, 1.38), first season in which one goalie played the entire season (Stevens), and first appearance in a sectional quarterfinal.
Someone new will have to continue Kents legacy, as the school recently announced a search is underway for a new head coach.
Its probably one of the hardest decisions Ive faced in my life, Kent said. The biggest things Im going to miss are the families, the coaches and the kids.
Kent said hes stepping away to focus on his childrens varsity careers. His son Anthony and daughter Cali will both attend Sandwich High School next year, and Kent said coaching at another school would impede his attendance at their games.
I have an older daughter who I watched play field hockey all through high school, and I never missed a game, Kent said. Times flying, and Im getting old. I just want to sit back as a parent and enjoy watching my two kids play.
A coach at the youth and high school level for 25 years, Kent came to JPII as an assistant when Chuck Jancaterino took over the program in 2015. Jancaterino left after the 2017-18 season, at which point Kent took over.
Human rights nominations
The Barnstable County Human Rights Advisory Commission (HRAC) is accepting applications through May 5, 2020 for the Annual Malcolm McDowell Award, named in honor of the noted human rights activist and former member of the Barnstable County Human Rights Commission.
Two graduating members, who have participated in their schools Human Rights Club and the HRAC Human Rights Academy, who demonstrate initiative, leadership, and dedication to improving the human rights atmosphere of Barnstable County and the wider world, will receive a $250 gift certificate.
Alan Milsted, Chair of the HRAC Board said, I am delighted that, although we have had to cancel the Spring session of the Human Rights Academy, we are still able to offer the McDowell Award to students graduating as seniors from high schools or from the Riverview Schools GROW program.
The recipients will be announced on May 10. Application and further details may be found at https://bit.ly/3cQm61I
Construction in Hyannis
Construction is scheduled to begin the week of May 11 at the intersection of Center Spring Streets in Hyannis and is anticipated to take one week. Normal work hours are 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday through Friday.
Work will involve excavating trenches in the roads, installing sanitary sewer pipes and manholes, backfilling, compacting, and paving. During active construction there will be lane closures or temporary detours with signs and police details to direct traffic past or around the work zones.

May 14, 2020 - The United Way of Westchester and Putnam (UWWP) is working with towns and villages across Putnam County to organize a one-day, drive-thru food drive on Saturday, May 16 to restock hard-hit food pantries.

UWWP in partnership with Putnam County has already given out thousands of pounds of food during weekly food drops through the Food Bank of Hudson Valley and other organizations.
"The coronavirus has created great economic hardship for many of our families and our food pantries have been depleted,'' said Tom Gabriel, President and CEO of the United Way of Westchester and Putnam.
