  • Rese4b Instituti
    RESE4B INSTITUTI The International Food Policy Research Institute was established in 1975 to identify and analyze alternative national and international strategies and policies for meeting food needs of the developing world on a sustainable basis, with particular emphasis on low- income countries and on the poorer groups in those countries. While the research effort is geared to the precise objective of contributing to the reduction of hunger and malnutrition, the factors involved are many and wide-ranging, requiring analysis of under lying processes and extending beyond a narrowly defined food sector. The Institute's research program reflects worldwide collaboration with governments and private and public institutions interested in in creasing food production and improving the equity of its distribution. Research results are disseminated to policymakers, opinion formers, administrators, policy analysts, researchers, and others concerned with na tional and international food and agricultural policy. IFPRI is a member of the Consultative Group on Inter national Agricultural Research and receives support from a number of governments, multilateral organiza tions, foundations, and other sources.

  • Bhagavad Guitar by RICHARD GEHR
    Bhagavad Guitar By RICHARD GEHR Where does music come from? Musicians are like radio receivers, proposes one theory, transforming sounds already zipping through the ether into the sculpted air that eventually tickles our tympanic membranes. Turn ’em on, tune ’em in, and stand back. But besides emanating a certain false modesty, doesn’t this theory subtly shortchange the individual creative spirit? I used to think so, until a friend directed my own antennae toward guitarist Tisziji Muñoz. A self-taught guitarist who practices rarely, if ever, Tisziji (pronounced tis-see-gee) Muñoz’s musical signature can be recognized clearly in about three notes. It’s an ecstatic yet slightly scratchy singing voice of a guitar sound that borders on feedback like a harmonic disturbance interfering gently with the aforementioned cosmic radio waves. Like John Coltrane, in whose tradition he most definitely lies, Tisziji’s cable connection plugs in directly to the source, the mysterium eternalis, the inner mounting flame from which music doth flow. Coltrane was the first major Western player to adjust his internal rabbit ears to the universal broadcast spectrum. Guitarists John McLaughlin, Carlos Santana, and Allan Holdsworth all eventually hopped on the Trane, extending his modes and metaphysics in a variety of contexts, while the late Sonny Sharrock took Coltrane’s methodology to the harmonic outskirts of an altogether different country. But none of these guitarists’ music ebbs and flows as naturally out of the void, pure spirit, whatever you want to call it, as Tisziji’s. Most of the time you’ll find Tisziji Muñoz teaching astrology and serving as spiritual guide to a Schenectady sect known as the Illumination Society.

  • There Are Three Composers That I Have at One Time Or Another Tried to Play
    Love Will Come – new long web notes: There are three composers that I have at one time or another tried to play all of their songs: New Orleans R&B pianist Professor Longhair, The Doors, and Vince Guaraldi...Vince Guaraldi and his music are so much a part of the deep heart and soul of San Francisco, and of the experience of childhood, and beyond.” — George Winston In 1996, George released his first album of Guaraldi compositions, entitled LINUS AND LUCY - THE MUSIC OF VINCE GUARALDI. It nicely mixed well known-standards like the title track and Cast Your Fate to the Wind, with less well-known material, including some music cues that had only been heard in the soundtracks. George’s second album of Guaraldi music delves even deeper into the repertoire, uncovering some hidden gems. Like many musicians of his generation, George Winston first heard the music of San Francisco based jazz pianist Vince Guaraldi on his 1962 hit Cast Your Fate to the Wind, and on the 1965 televised Peanuts® animation special A Charlie Brown Christmas. First aired on the CBS network in 1965, the television special was created by the Peanuts® comic strip creator Charles Schulz (1922-2000), writer/producer Lee Mendelson (1933-2019), and former Warner Brothers animator Bill Melendez (1916-2008). Vince Guaraldi was hired to compose the jazz soundtrack, a bold step for network television at that time. Vince completed the diamond that was the Dream Team. At first, some executives at CBS weren’t fully on board about using jazz for the music soundtrack.

  • The Audience with Betty Carter”—Betty Carter (1980) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by William R
    “The Audience with Betty Carter”—Betty Carter (1980) Added to the National Registry: 2012 Essay by William R. Bauer, Ph.D. (guest post)* The Audience with Betty Carter This two-disk album recorded live at San Francisco’s Great American Music Hall on December 6, 7, 8, 1979, documents a shining moment in the career of the highly idiosyncratic and defiantly independent female jazz artist Betty Carter. No mere rhetorical ploy, the record’s title reflects the singer’s deep commitment to her audience and appreciation for the ways they supported her work on all levels, from commercial to aesthetic. Every track exudes the craftsmanship and artistry that have kept her faithful listeners coming back time and again. But it wasn’t only her music that they sought out. In an art form that, following Miles Davis’s aloof example, had literally and figuratively turned its back on its audience, her showmanship has always set her apart. As with her idol, Louis Armstrong, Betty Carter did not distinguish between the roles of entertainer and artist. And listeners’s reactions, evident on several of these tracks, reveal their delight in the strands of rapport with which she so exquisitely drew them into her world. Carter fiercely respected her audience’s intelligence; and, when it came to the music, she refused to compromise her high standards. But she also knew how to work the crowd. This recording invites us into that world, too, magically transforming us into members of “The Audience.” On up-tempo rhythm numbers—represented here with dramatically reworked versions of standards, both well known, such as “My Favorite Things” and “The Trolley Song,” and obscure, such as “Deep Night”—she toys with us, keeping us on the edge of our seats awaiting the next revelation.

  • Newsletter 3Rd Feb 2021
    Red Oaks Primary School 3rd February 2021 Newsletter Facebook Please find us and like ‘Red Oaks Primary School’ on Facebook. By liking us, you will receive any posts we put up. Christmas Toy Appeal A huge thank you to all of you who donated to the Swindon Christmas Toy Appeal last year. We were overwhelmed by the amount brought in. In total the appeal achieved the following: • 5,823 toys were donated – at least triple the number from 2019. • £10,900 was donated through the giving page with which more presents were bought in specific age categories where less toys were donated. • 700 children from 265 families received presents. • Each child was given a complete gift sack and 3 stocking fillers. • 1 in 2 families also received a food hamper, prepared by Pattern Church and delivered by part of the appeal. This was made possible thanks to donations from Tesco, Swindon Night Shelter and Swindon Food Collective. • Even after this there are still some toys left over to be able to support schools and local organisations during the lockdown. Car Park We remind children regularly that they MUST dismount from bikes and scooters at the main car park entrance. The car park is very busy so we ask please do not cut across the disabled bay but use the path that goes around the outside and those that cross the main car park area. We have also reminded the children of this as we do not want any accidents. Social distancing As a reminder whilst waiting outside school in the mornings and after school, please keep your children with you so that they cannot run around and mix with others.
