Welcome to another Retrospective episode, this time about wildflowers. This was originally recorded in 2019 as part of the radio show, Digging in with Master Gardeners on 90.7 WGXC FM. The content is still very relevant today, so we've repurposed it for our podcast format. In this episode, Tim and Jean sit down with Tracey Testo-Smith, Agroforestry and Natural Resources Program Manager at Cornell Cooperative Extension (CCE) of Columbia and Greene Counties. Tracey considers the Agroforestry Resource Center in the Siuslaw Teaching and Model Forest as her “specialty.” She leads frequent forest walks, and Part I of this interview is a chat about the wildflowers she observes. She explains the Siuslaw Forest's evolution from a logging resource to one of four model forests in the New York City/Catskill Watershed area. The forest is an education source and is frequently open to the public. So, when you want to learn about wildflowers and attend one of Tracey's walks, what should you expect? Tracey says to keep in mind three main features of most : wildflowers are; petal number and symmetry (odd or even number); leaf arrangement, whether opposite, alternate or whorled; the edges of the leaf, whether the margins are entire, toothed or lobed. With these three basic observations, you can begin to “key out” an iID for the plant you're looking at. Newcombe's Wildflower Guide is Tracey's favorite reference book. On her walks, Tracey likes to point out the more subtle flowers, while still admiring the showier “stars”, of course. There is also a grey area about non-native introduced flowers that have coexisted peacefully with the natives for, in some cases, centuries. These are acknowledged for their beauty and usefulness, too. In the Spring wildflower walks, the Ephemerals show off. These are plants with a specific lifestyle habit of appearing early in the year, growing to full maturity and producing seeds before disappearing, plant and all, until the next year. Tracey points out that sometimes plants are misnamed as ephemeral but arent because the foliage perseveres into the summer. One example of this is the Hepatica. A field trip, whether into the Siuslaw Forest or, often, the Hudson CCE campus, consists of the group gathering and reviewing how to use field guides before venturing outside to explore. Phone apps are discussed as well. Tracey admits a partiality to the Springtime. She points out that at that time of year, we're hungry for color and fresh plant life as the forest reawakens. When Tim asked about the rarest plant she'd observed, she described the green fringed orchid, a very subtle beauty that seems to “move around” from year to year. It's listed by the state as not “rare”, but “vulnerable.”Some plants are hunted, specifically ginseng. Once almost eradicated because of its value to herbalists and over-harvesting by landowners and poachers alike, wild stands of the plant are often kept secret by those who find them. Ginseng planbts typcally don't thrive when transplanted, so Tracey warns against thinking you can bring them home to grow them in “safety”. In fact, she advises against digging up any wild plant... it's usually a death sentence because its growing requirements are very specific. Other threats beside loving them to death (moving them) include climate change and invasive plants. Climate change interferes with the interrelations between plants, birds and animals that had evolved over millennia, when outside temperatures are no longer predictable by seasons. With extremes occurring more often, it stresses plant life. Invasive plants outcompete native plants for resources by sprouting earlier and lasting later into the seasons. The other major threat to wildflowers is deer browse. Tracey describes experimental “exclosures” build within the forest and observed over a number of years for effect on the plant population. There is an opportunity for citizen scientist volunteers to participate in the AVID program (see website link in the resources). Another way to participate is via the iMap invasive app, reporting on discovery and reporting of invasive plants.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
Irene The Alien travels across the cold infinities of space for a brief descent to converse with the singular earthling amongst earthlings: Katya. They discuss, with the tranquil gravity of deep space, the paradox of her early ejection from the Drag Race mothership, the chromatic splendor of dresses that gleam like auroras on a methane sea, and RuPaul's rapt delight in immense mortal metamorphoses. Together they plot the firmament of cinema itself, ranking films as one might classify galaxies. Some are mere errant asteroids, whilst others are colossal nebulae of artistry. Enjoy this communiqué as a meditation on both glamour and exile, drifting endlessly through the black and star-strewn silence of space.

In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Matthias Reinwarth is joined by Martin Kuppinger and special guest Felix Gaehtgens to explore two of the hottest (and most debated) topics in identity today: Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) and Non-Human / Machine Identities (NHI). Together, they gothrough the buzzwords to reveal what’s real, what’s hype, and how organizations should approach these fast-evolving areas of IAM. From visibility vs. observability, to governance challenges and the future of machine identity management, this episode delivers sharp insights and practical recommendations from three IAM veterans. So tell us — are ITDR and NHI just marketing buzzwords, or essential must-haves for modern identity security? Key topics covered: ITDR explained: buzzword or meaningful evolution in IAM? Why visibility and observability are not the same The missing “R” in detection & response IAM vs. SOC responsibilities for ITDR Machine identities: terminology, challenges, and governance Ephemeral vs. static machine identities How IAM teams can prepare for the future of identity security

In this bonus segment, Alex and Martin Benes have an interesting conversation about the contrast between ephemeral, fleeting moments in life, travel, and relationships versus stability and longterm growth. The two talk about travel tales, life, and more. They are split.
In this episode of the KuppingerCole Analyst Chat, Martin Kuppinger joins Matthias Reinwarth to dive deep into one of the most overlooked but critical areas in identity and security: non-human identities (NHI) and workload secrets. As cloud-native development and AI-driven workloads grow, so does the complexity of managing machine identities. With AWS now supporting long-lived API keys for generative AI, this episode explores why that's a risky move — and what a modern, secure, and developer-friendly alternative looks like. In this episode, you'll learn: Why workload identities must be treated as privileged How long-lived secrets expand your attack surface Why “balancing convenience vs. security” is a false choice How to apply ephemeral secrets and ITDR signals The role of SPIFFE/SPIRE, policy-as-code (OPA), and automation Why developers shouldn’t own security — and what IAM must do instead How attackers use AI to hunt your leaked secrets What organizations must do to secure NHI at scale Key takeaway: Security must be built around short-lived secrets, automation, and clear separation between identity, secrets, and entitlements — especially for workloads and AI agents.

“If you don't ask your AI what it used to make a decision, it might cost you your reputation—or worse.” — Matt Bramson, Chief Revenue Officer, Frontline Frontline's Matt Bramson on the Monumental Implications of vCon and the Urgent Need for Ethical Oversight in AI Hyannis, MA - April 2025 - As the first-ever vCon Conference concluded, Matt Bramson of Frontline offered a compelling vision of both the promise and the peril emerging from virtualized conversations and AI-driven decision-making. In a far-ranging conversation that blended philosophy, ethics, and enterprise AI, Bramson challenged business leaders to think well beyond lanes, silos, and conventional product rollouts. “We're looking at something civilization-transforming,” said Bramson. “Imagine a mountain of vCons—every conversation, everywhere, stored in a structured format and interrogated by AI. The insights could be profound, even world-changing. But there's a moral cost if we don't ask the right questions.” From Ephemeral Talk to Structured Truth At its core, the vCon standard captures and containers conversations—text, voice, email—across every modality in a standardized format. These containers can then be appended with CRM data, sentiment analysis, and other metadata, unlocking unprecedented insights through AI interrogation. “Conversations are how we share heartbreaks, solve problems, build businesses. They've always been ephemeral. vCons make them permanent—and actionable,” Bramson noted. Yet with such power comes risk. Bramson recounted a chilling real-world example: an AI used by a beverage company to optimize pricing based on customer characteristics. What seemed like a smart revenue idea risked violating anti-discrimination laws—and damaging the brand—because no one had taught the AI what not to use. “Who's teaching the AI business ethics, social ethics? In many cases, no one,” Bramson warned. “If you're not interrogating the AI's output, you might not know it's discriminating—until a journalist does.” A Philosopher's Take on AI With a background in philosophy, Bramson brought a rare perspective to the discussion. Where some see hallucinations in LLMs, he sees echoes of ancient debates in epistemology and metaphysics. “We're overdue for philosophers in tech boardrooms,” he said. “What's unfolding now has been pondered for millennia. Ethics and AI are now converging in real time—and most companies aren't prepared.” He challenged executives to go beyond staying in their lanes: “CEOs must ask how their AIs are making decisions—not just what those decisions are.” Frontline: CX Innovation with Real-World Impact Frontline, Bramson explained, stands at the intersection of contact center services, CCaaS technology sales, and AI-enabled agent software. But what truly excites his team is their work with social impact programs. “We take thousands of 2-1-1 calls—from people seeking food, housing, utility help,” said Bramson. “These conversations are rich with insight, and vCons give us a framework to share that data responsibly across municipalities.” Unlike private-sector rivals, 2-1-1 providers collaborate freely, and Bramson believes vCons will allow best practices in social services to travel faster, more efficiently, and with more measurable impact.

The presentations this week feature a series of residencies, performances, and talks by artists whose works explore dance and movement as a means of experiencing memory, history, and Black lived experience. Tara Aisha Willis is Curator of Theater & Dance at EMPAC and she joins us to tell us more.
Hello Interactors,Spring at Interplace brings a shift to mapping, GIS, and urban design. While talk of industrial revival stirs nostalgia — steel mills, union jobs, bustling Main Streets — the reality on the ground is different: warehouses, data centers, vertical suburbs, and last-mile depots. Less Rosy the Riveter, more Ada Lovelace. Our cities are being shaped accordingly — optimized not for community, but for logistics.FROM STOREFRONTS TO STEEL DOORSLet's start with these two charts recently shared by the historian of global finance and power Adam Tooze at Chartbook. One shows Amazon passing Walmart in quarterly sales for the first time. The other shows a steadily declining drop in plans for small business capital expenditure. Confidence shot up upon the election of Trump, but dropped suddenly when tariff talks trumped tax tempering. Together, these charts paint a picture: control over how people buy, build, and shape space is shifting — fast. It all starts quietly. A parking lot gets fenced off. Trucks show up. Maybe the old strip mall disappears overnight. A few months later, there's a low, gray building with no windows. No grand opening. Just a stream of delivery vans pulling in and out.This isn't just a new kind of facility — it's a new kind of urban and suburban logic.Platform logistics has rewritten the rules of space. Where cities were once shaped by factories and storefronts, now they're shaped by fulfillment timelines, routing algorithms, and the need to move goods faster than planning commissions can meet.In the past, small businesses were physical anchors. They invested in place. They influenced how neighborhoods looked, felt, and functioned. But when capital expenditures from local firms drop — as that second chart shows — their power to shape the block goes with it.What fills the vacuum is logistics. And it doesn't negotiate like the actors it replaces.This isn't just a retail story. It's a story about agency — who gets to decide what a place is for. When small businesses cut back on investment, it's not just the storefront that disappears. So does the capacity to influence a block, a street, a community. Local business owners don't just sell goods — they co-create neighborhoods. They choose where to open, how to hire, how to design, and what kind of social space their business offers. All of that is a form of micro-planning — planning from below. France, as one example, subsidizes these co-created neighborhoods in Paris to insure they uphold the romantic image of a Parisian boulevard.But without subsidies, these actors are disappearing. And in the vacuum, big brands and logistics move in. Not softly, either. Amazon alone added hundreds of logistics facilities to U.S. land in the past five years. Data centers compete for this land. Meta recently announced a four million square foot facility in Richland Parish, Louisiana. It will be their largest data center in the world.These buildings are a new kind of mall. They're massive, quiet, windowless buildings that optimize for speed, not presence. This is what researchers call logistics urbanization — a land use logic where space is valued not for what people can do in it, but for how efficiently packages and data can pass through it.The shift is structural. It remakes how land is zoned, how roads are used, and how people move — and it does so at a scale that outpaces most municipal planning timelines. That's not just a market change. It's a change in governance. Because planners? Mayors? Even state reps? They're not steering anymore. They're reacting.City managers once had tools to shape growth — zoning, permitting, community input. But logistics and tech giants don't negotiate like developers. They come with pre-designed footprints and expectations. If a city doesn't offer fast approval, industrial zoning, and tax breaks, they'll skip to the next one. And often, they won't even say why. Economists studying these state and local business tax incentives say these serve as the “primary place-based policy in the United States.”It forces a kind of economic speed dating. I see it in my own area as local governments vie for the attention (and revenue) of would-be high-tech suitors. But it can be quiet, as one report suggests: “This first stage of logistical urbanization goes largely unnoticed insofar as the construction of a warehouse in an existing industrial zone rarely raises significant political issues.”(2)This isn't just in major cities. Across the U.S., cities are bending their long-term plans to chase short-term fulfillment deals. Even rural local governments routinely waive design standards and sidestep public input to accommodate warehouse and tech siting — because saying no can feel like missing out on tax revenue, jobs, or political wins.(2)What was once a dynamic choreography of land use and local voices becomes something flatter: a data pipeline.It isn't all bad. Fulfillment hubs closer to homes mean fewer trucks, shorter trips, and lower emissions. Data centers crunching billions of bits is better than a PC whirring under the desk of every home. There is a scale and sustainability case to be made.But logistic liquidity doesn't equal optimistic livability. It doesn't account for what's lost when civic agency fades, or when a city works better for packages than for people. You can optimize flow — and still degrade life.That's what those two charts at the beginning really show. Not just an economic shift, but a spatial one. From many small decisions to a few massive ones. From storefronts and civic input to corporate site selection and zoning flips. From a lived city to a delivered one.Which brings us to the next shape in this story — not the warehouse, but the mid-rise. Not the loading dock, but the key-fob lobby. Different function. Same logic.HIGH-RISE, LOW TOUCHYou've seen them. The sleek new apartment buildings with names like The Foundry or Parc25. A yoga room, a roof deck, and an app for letting in your dog walker. “Mixed-use,” they say — but it's mostly private use stacked vertically.It's much needed housing, for sure. But these aren't neighborhoods. They're private bunkers with balconies.Yes, they're more dense than suburban cul-de-sacs. Yes, they're more energy-efficient than sprawl. But for all their square footage and amenity spaces, they often feel more like vertical suburbs — inward-facing, highly managed, and oddly disconnected from the street.The ground floors are usually glazed over with placeholder retail: maybe a Starbucks, a Subway, or nothing at all…often vacant with only For Lease signs. Residents rarely linger. Packages arrive faster than neighbors can introduce themselves. There's a gym to bench press, but no public bench or egress. You're close to hundreds of people — and yet rarely bump into anyone you didn't schedule.That's not a design flaw. That's the point.These buildings are part of a new typology — one that synchronizes perfectly with a platform lifestyle. Residents work remote. Order in. Socialize through screens. The architecture doesn't foster interaction because interaction isn't the product. Efficiency is.Call it fulfillment housing — apartments designed to plug into an economy that favors logistics and metrics, not civic social fabrics. They're located near tech centers, distribution hubs, and delivery corridors, and sometimes libraries or parks outdoors. What matters is access to bandwidth and smooth entry for Amazon and Door Dash.And it's not just what you see on the block. Behind the scenes, cities are quietly reengineering themselves to connect these structures to the digital twins — warehouses and data centers. Tucked into nearby low-tax exurbs or industrial zones, together they help reshape land use, strain energy grids, and anchor the platform economy.They're infrastructure for a new kind of urban life — one where presence is optional and connection to the cloud is more important than to the crowd.Even the public spaces inside these buildings — co-working lounges, shared kitchens, “community rooms” — are behind fobs, passwords, and management policies. Sociologists have called this the anticommons: everything looks shared, but very little actually is. It's curated collectivity, not true community.And it's not just isolation — it's predictability. These developments are built to minimize risk, noise, conflict, friction. Which is also to say: they're built to minimize surprise. The kind of surprise that once made cities exciting. The kind that made them social.Some urban scholars describe these spaces as part of a broader “ghost urbanism” — a city where density exists without depth. Where interaction is optional. Where proximity is engineered, but intimacy is not. You can be surrounded by life and still feel like you're buffering.The irony is these buildings often check every sustainability box. They're LEED-certified. Near transit. Built up, not out. From a local emissions standpoint, they beat the ‘burbs'. But their occupant's consumption, waste, and travel habits can create more pollution than homebody suburbanites. And from a civic standpoint — the standpoint of belonging, encounter, spontaneity — they're often just as empty.And so we arrive at a strange truth: a city can be efficient, dense, even walkable — and still feel ghosted. Because what we've optimized for isn't connection. It's delivery — to screens and doorsteps. What gets delivered to fulfillment housing may be frictionless, but it's rarely fulfilling.DRONES, DOMICILES, AND DISCONNECTIONI admit there's a nostalgia for old-world neighborhoods as strong as nostalgia for industrial cities of the past. Neighborhoods where you may run into people at the mailbox. Asking someone in the post office line where they got their haircut. Sitting on the porch, just waitin' on a friend. We used to talk about killing time, now we have apps to optimize it.It's not just because of screens. It's also about what kinds of space we've built — and what kind of social activity they allow or even encourage.In many suburbs and edge cities, the mix of logistics zones, tech centers, and residential enclaves creates what urban theorists might call a fragmented spatial syntax. That means the city no longer “reads” as a continuous experience. Streets don't tell stories.There's no rhythm from house to corner store to café to school. Instead, you get jump cuts — a warehouse here, a cul-de-sac there, a fenced-in apartment complex down the road. These are spaces that serve different logics, designed for speed, security, or seclusion — but rarely for relation. The grammar of the neighborhood breaks down. You don't stroll. You shuttle.You drive past a warehouse. You park in a garage. You enter through a lobby. You take an elevator to your door. There's no in-between space — no casual friction, no civic ambiguity, no shared air.These patterns aren't new. But they're becoming the norm, not the exception. You can end up living in a place but never quite arrive.Watch most anyone under 35. Connection increasingly happens online. Friendships form in Discord servers, not diners. Parties are planned via private stories, not porch swings. You don't run into people. You ping them.Sometimes that online connection does spill back into the real world — meetups, pop-ups, shared hobbies that break into public space. Discord, especially, has become a kind of digital third place, often leading to real-world hangouts. It's social. Even communal. But it's different. Fleeting. Ephemeral. Less rooted in place, more tied to platform and notifications.None of this is inherently bad. But it does change the role of the neighborhood as we once knew it. It's no longer the setting for shared experience — it's just a backdrop for bandwidth. That shift is subtle, but it adds up. Without physical places for civic life, interactions gets offloaded to platforms. Connection becomes mediated, surveilled, and datafied. You don't meet your neighbors. You follow them. You comment on their dog through a Ring alert.This is what some sociologists call networked individualism — where people aren't embedded in shared place-based systems, but orbit through overlapping digital networks. And when digital is the default, the city becomes a logistics problem. Something to move through efficiently…or not. It certainly is not something we're building together. It's imposed upon us.And so we arrive at a kind of paradox:We're more connected than ever. But we're less entangled.We're more visible. But we're less involved.We're living closer. But we don't feel near.The irony is the very platforms that hollow out public space are now where we go looking for belonging. TikTok isn't just where we go to kill time — it's where we go to feel seen. If your neighborhood doesn't give you identity, the algorithm will.Meanwhile, the built environment absorbs the logic of logistics. Warehouses and data centers at the edge. Mid-rises in the core. Streets engineered for the throughput of cars and delivery vans. Housing designed for containment. And social life increasingly routed elsewhere.It all works. Until you want to feel something.We're social creatures, biologically wired for connection. Neuroscience shows that in-person social interactions regulate stress, build emotional resilience, and literally shape how our brains grow and adapt. It's not just emotional. It's neurochemical. Oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin — the chemistry of belonging — fire most powerfully through touch, eye contact, shared space. When those rituals shrink, so does our sense of meaning and safety.And that's what this is really about. Historically cities weren't just containers for life. They're catalysts for feeling. Without shared air, shared time, and shared friction, we lose more than convenience. We lose the chance to feel something real — to be part of a place, not just a node in a network.What started with two charts ends here: a world where local agency, social spontaneity, and even emotion itself are being restructured by platform logic. The city still stands. The buildings are there. The people are home. But the feeling of place — the buzz, the bump, the belonging — gets harder to find.That's the cost of efficiency without empathy. Of optimizing everything but meaning.And that's the city we're building. Unless we build something else. We'll need agency. And not just for planners or developers. For people.That's the work ahead. Not to reject the platform city. But to remake it — into something more livable. More legible. More ours. This is a public episode.

In this episode, Mandy (@mandyleft) talks with photographer and filmmaker Marta Arjona (@marjonablasco). They began by discussing Marta's short films Dolors and Peaceful Wind. They also talked about using expired films and some of Marta's favorites. Marta was the recent recipient of a community grant from Ilford for her project ePhemeral. The nature of dance is that a dancer will never move exactly the same twice, so each performance is unique. Capturing it on film makes it eternal. They finished up with the reoccurring segments FFS (For Film's Sake) and PACS (Pleasing Analogue Camera Sounds) and Marta gave a shoutout to Cuarto Color Lab (@cuartocolorlab).

Unleashing Unconstrained News Knowledge Graphs to Combat Misinformation // MLOps Podcast #279 with Robert Caulk, Founder of Emergent Methods. // Abstract Indexing hundreds of thousands of news articles per day into a knowledge graph (KG) was previously impossible due to the strict requirement that high-level reasoning, general world knowledge, and full-text context *must* be present for proper KG construction. The latest tools now enable such general world knowledge and reasoning to be applied cost effectively to high-volumes of news articles. Beyond the low cost of processing these news articles, these tools are also opening up a new, controversial, approach to KG building - unconstrained KGs. We discuss the construction and exploration of the largest news-knowledge-graph on the planet - hosted on an endpoint at AskNews.app. During talk we aim to highlight some of the sacrifices and benefits that go hand-in-hand with using the infamous unconstrained KG approach. We conclude the talk by explaining how knowledge graphs like these help to mitigate misinformation. We provide some examples of how our clients are using this graph, such as generating sports forecasts, generating better social media posts, generating regional security alerts, and combating human trafficking. // Bio Robert is the founder of Emergent Methods, where he directs research and software development for large-scale applications.

La soul est américaine, comme Wolfgang Valbrun et Michelle David. Démonstration dans cette double #SessionLive ! (Rediffusion) Notre 1er invité est Wolfgang Valbrun. Il est invité dans la #SessionLive pour la sortie de l'album Flawed By Design. Wolfgang Valbrun est un auteur-compositeur-interprète né et élevé dans l'État de New York, dont la carrière musicale s'est épanouie en Europe, notamment à Paris où il s'est installé à l'adolescence.Sa mère lui a donné une éducation musicale précoce qui couvre un large spectre, de Bob Marley à Bobby McFerrin, de Billy Joel à Elton John et de Charles Aznavour à Grace Jones, le tout infusé d'une touche de Kompa, la saveur musicale haïtienne qui a influencé de nombreuses scènes musicales caribéennes.Les premières années de Wolf ont été marquées par des périodes tumultueuses, car il déménageait régulièrement entre différents pays en raison de la séparation de ses parents. C'est lorsqu'il s'est installé à Paris que sa vie a pris un tournant décisif. La transition vers une nouvelle culture et un nouvel environnement a exigé une transformation complète, laissant derrière lui les repères familiers qu'il avait connus auparavant.Guidé par des cousins plus âgés, il s'éloigne du rock américain qui définissait ses goûts et s'immerge dans le monde de la soul, du jazz, du hip-hop et de la musique brésilienne. Des artistes comme Erykah Badu, The Roots, Seu Jorge et Gilberto Gil ont marqué son parcours musical. Les horizons de Wolfgang se sont élargis pour embrasser une riche diversité de genres, laissant une empreinte indélébile sur sa jeune âme d'artiste.À la fin de ses études secondaires, Wolfgang cherche à changer d'air. Il passe une année au Venezuela où la salsa, le merengue, la cumbia et le calypso charment et forment ses sens musicaux. De retour au pays, il auditionne pour rejoindre le groupe de funk parisien « Marvellous », où il rencontre Thierry Lemaitre, avec qui il écrit et joue depuis lors.Wolfgang a ensuite rencontré ses futurs collègues James Graham et Adam Holgate en jouant avec Marvellous aux côtés du groupe britannique de soul The Tastemakers.Par un coup du sort, Hillman Mondegreen, leader du groupe The Tastemakers, a proposé à Wolfgang de rejoindre son nouveau projet ephemerals en tant que chanteur et Wolf a saisi sa chance de montrer son talent à un public international.Le premier album des Ephemerals, Nothin Is Easy, est un classique de la soul avec une touche de modernité, les chansons de Mondegreen étant un véhicule parfait pour la voix distinctive de Wolf, qui apporte un élément-clé d'émotion et de puissance à la musique du groupe.Titres interprétés au grand studio :- Where Is The Peace Live RFI- Paris, extrait du CD- Sun Don't Shine Live RFI.Line Up : Wolfgang Valbrun (Lead Vocal), Adam Holgate (Guitar), Thierry Lemaitre (Sax), James Graham (Keys), Charlie Fitzgerald (Bass), Rhi Williams (Drums) et Damian McLean- Brown (Trumpet).Son : Benoît Letirant, Jérémie Besset.► Album Flawed By Design (Jalapeno Rd 2024).YouTube - Web - Facebook - instagram Puis la #SessionLive reçoit Michelle David & The True-Tones pour la sortie de l'album Brothers & Sisters.Élevée à New York dans une église, Michelle David a commencé à chanter à l'âge de quatre ans et a rejoint son premier groupe, The Mission of Love, un an plus tard. Au cours de sa carrière, elle a parcouru le monde avec la comédie musicale de Broadway Mama, contribué à des pièces de théâtre à succès tels que The Sound of Motown, Glory of Gospel et Mahalia, et enregistré pour des artistes tels que Diana Ross et Michael Bolton. Tout cela s'est produit avant la sortie de six albums de gospel acclamés par la critique avec les True-Tones. Avec leurs grooves entraînants, leurs voix puissantes et leurs mélodies fortes, Michelle David & The True-Tones ont déjà conquis de nombreux festivals et de nombreux clubs.Avec le nouvel album du groupe, Brothers & Sisters, première sortie sous Record Kicks, Michelle David & the True-Tones crée un voyage sonore qui résonne avec l'esprit soul de leurs concerts. Le nouvel album a été enregistré en direct - avec le groupe au complet, simultanément dans une seule pièce, ce qui donne un son énergique, authentique et captivant. Michelle David & the True-Tones utilisent leur plateforme artistique pour inspirer un changement positif, encourageant les auditeurs à les rejoindre dans un voyage de réflexion, de compassion et de responsabilité collective. Dans un monde plein de défis, Brothers & Sisters émerge comme un phare musical, éclairant le chemin vers un avenir où l'héritage de l'amour et de la lumière perdure.Titres interprétés au grand studio :- Brothers and Sisters Live RFI voir le clip - Cold Cold World, extrait du Cd voir le clip - That is You Live RFI.Line up : Michelle David (Chant), Onno Smit (Guitare basse), Paul Willemsen (Guitare basse), Bas Bouma (Batterie), Bart van der List (Trompette), Paul van de Calseijde (Sax tenor), Claus Tofft (Congas) +Claire Simon (Traductrice).Son : Benoît Letirant, Mathias Taylor.► Album Brothers & Sisters (Record Kicks 2024).Web - facebook - Instagram.

Is there such a thing as a timeless classic? More than a decade ago, Dr. Rochelle Gurstein set out to explore and establish a solid foundation for the classic in the history of taste. To her surprise, that history instead revealed repeated episodes of soaring and falling reputations, rediscoveries of long-forgotten artists, and radical shifts in the canon, all of which went so completely against common knowledge that it was hard to believe it was true. Where does the idea of the timeless classic come from? And how has it become so fiercely contested? By recovering disputes about works of art from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth, in Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art (Yale University Press, 2024) Dr. Gurstein takes us into unfamiliar aesthetic and moral terrain, providing a richly imagined historical alternative to accounts offered by both cultural theorists advancing attacks on the politics of taste and those who continue to cling to the ideal of universal values embodied in the classic. As Gurstein brings to life the competing responses of generations of artists, art lovers, and critics to specific works of art, she makes us see the same object vividly and directly through their eyes and feel, in all its enlarging intensity, what they felt. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Where does the idea of the timeless classic come from? And how has it become so fiercely contested? By recovering disputes about works of art from the eighteenth century to the close of the twentieth, in Written in Water: The Ephemeral Life of the Classic in Art (Yale University Press, 2024) Dr. Gurstein takes us into unfamiliar aesthetic and moral terrain, providing a richly imagined historical alternative to accounts offered by both cultural theorists advancing attacks on the politics of taste and those who continue to cling to the ideal of universal values embodied in the classic. As Gurstein brings to life the competing responses of generations of artists, art lovers, and critics to specific works of art, she makes us see the same object vividly and directly through their eyes and feel, in all its enlarging intensity, what they felt. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

On the night of Summer Solstice 1986, Larry Harvey and Jerry James built and burned an eight-foot wooden figure on San Francisco's Baker Beach surrounded by a handful of friends. Burning Man was born.This summer, the 39th annual Burning Man gathering begins to assemble on a vast dry lake bed in Nevada's Black Rock Desert, the nomadic ritual's home since 1990. An estimated 80,000 people will come.During production of our Keepers series, chronicling activist archivists, rogue librarians and keepers of the culture and free flow of information, we received this message on the Keepers Hotline:"Hello Kitchen Sisters, I am a rogue archivist, the archivist for Burning Man. Come to Burning Man headquarters and I'll show you the collection. Cheers.” —LadyBee, Archivist & Art Collection Manager, Burning ManHow do you archive an event when one of it's driving principles is "leave no trace," where The Burning Man is in fact burned? What is being kept and who is keeping it? We journey into the archives of this legendary gathering to find out.Produced by The Kitchen Sisters with Nathan Dalton and Brandi Howell, mixed by Jim McKee.
