# Beaming (album)

Beaming is an album by Tony Oxley. It was recorded on November 25, 2019, in Viersen, Germany, and was released in 2020 by Confront Recordings. The album features Oxley on electronics, plus percussionist Stefan Hölker, in a context in which improvisations by both musicians are combined with percussion music performed and recorded by Oxley in 1972.
According to Derek Bailey, Oxley's percussion setup included "amplified frame containing cymbals, wires, various kitchen equipment, motor generators, springs, used with 3 contact mikes (home-made), 2 volume pedals, 1 octave splitter, 1 compressor, 1 ring modulator and oscillator, 1 amplifier and 2 speakers," with the term "frame" accounting for the track titles.

In a review for All About Jazz, John Eyles wrote: "Despite being created by two drummers, while their music has a definite pulse, they do not overtly keep time; instead, using that uncanny knack which the best improvising drummers have, they pay attention to textural sounds while ensuring the underlying pulse remains implicit throughout... they never clash or work against one another, but together combine to create soundscapes which are deep and rich in detail, making them endlessly fascinating. A triumph for Oxley and Hölker."
Brian Morton of Jazz Journal called the album "a remarkable performance," and stated: "So carefully and coherently programmed is the electronic component that it's hard to hear this as two voices at all... There is a clear rhythm to these pieces, but it can't be counted in any conventional way. Sometimes it's accumulative; sometimes fragmented into metrical cells; but it's always there and that's what makes what might otherwise be offputtingly abstract music so compelling."
Point of Departure's Michael Rosenstein commented: "From the initial chimes, shuddering rattles, gongs, clinks, and clatter, it is impossible to separate Hölker's contributions from Oxley's. Each improvisation leaps into a collectively enveloping sound world full of rich resonance and a multiplicity of timbral colors. Listening to each of the pieces is akin to being submersed in a sonic stream as the music surges with propulsive energy... This release is truly unique in [Oxley's] expansive career and well worth searching out."
Writing for The New York City Jazz Record, Mark Keresman remarked: "If one seeks pure drumming, one could be a touch nonplussed here. Here it's the interplay of these two that produces the array of sound(s) herein... Beaming is unlikely to make many—heck, any—converts to the art of rough-hewn sonic alchemy. But for those valuing (or, simply, used to) this kind of din, it's a shot of bracing beverage."

# Bus rapid transit in Africa

In African cities, bus rapid transit is a relatively new phenomenon. The first system was opened in 2008 in Lagos, Nigeria and since then, many more BRT systems have been undertaken and are in different stages of development. 2016 saw a record three new BRTs on the continent. Ousmane Thiam, Honorary President of the International Association of Public Transport and President of CETUD, the urban transport authority in Dakar (Senegal), reckons there will be a significant development of BRT in Africa over the next years.
Currently, BRT systems are in operation in the following 21 African cities:
* Lagos (Nigeria) – Lagos BRT, opened in March 2008
* Johannesburg (South Africa) – Rea Vaya, opened in August 2009
* Gqeberha, Nelson Mandela Bay (South Africa) – Libhongolethu IPTS BRT, system was implemented for the 2010 World Cup
* Cape Town (South Africa) – MyCiTi, opened in May 2011
* Pretoria (South Africa) – A Re Yeng BRT, opened in December 2014
* George (South Africa) – Go George BRT system, opened in August 2015
* Dar es Salaam (Tanzania) – UDART, opened in May 2016
* Marrakech (Morocco) – BRT Marrakesh, opened in 29 September 2017
* Johannesburg, City of Ekurhuleni (South Africa) – Harambee BRT, system started in October 2017
* Polokwane (South Africa) – Leeto La Polokwane BRT, system project was conceived in 2007 and began operations in March 2021
* Nairobi (Kenya) - MRTS BRT
* Rustenburg (South Africa) – Yarona BRT, opened in September 2022
* Dakar (Senegal) – BRT Dakar, will be opened by the end of 2023
* Casablanca (Morocco) – Casablanca Busway, BRT opened in 1st March 2024
* Agadir (Morocco) – will be opened in 2024
* Cairo (Egypt) - Will be opened in 2024
* Durban (South Africa) – GO Durban BRT, system was announced in 2013 is still (under construction 2024)
* Bloemfontein (South Africa) - Hauweng IPTN
* Agadir (Morocco) – Amalway Agadir Trambus
* Abidjan (Ivory Coast) – Abidjan Transport Company
* Kampala Greater Kampala (Uganda) – Bus Rapid Transit
Often BRT is advocated as a cheaper way to build rapid mass transit for Africa's larger cities compared to rail. Implementing these systems is also sometimes conceptualized as a way to initiate wider reform of local bus systems often consisting of privately operated and flexibly run minibuses, sometimes called paratransit or "informal" transport. This also means that these projects confront the problem of how to integrate with these systems and address concerns of replacement or displacement from actors that own and operate minibus systems leading to clashes and raising significant political challenges in implementation.
# Considerations 1972–1976

Considerations 1972–1976, Volumes 1 and 2, is a pair of live albums by trumpeter and composer Bill Dixon. They were recorded during 1972 to 1976, a period during which Dixon was teaching at Bennington College and was, in his own words, "in total isolation from the market places of this music." Released in 1981 by the Italian Fore label, the recordings help to document the gap between the 1967 album Intents and Purposes and the Soul Note albums of the early 1980s.
Volume 1 features two trios, along with three solo works, two of which were later released on Odyssey: Solo Works (2001). Volume 2 features another solo work, a composition for trumpet and orchestra, a duo for trumpet and drums, and a chamber work.

Author Colin Larkin noted the "essentially reflective nature" of Dixon's music, and, regarding the small ensemble compositions, stated that "the results are remarkable for their balance of intellectual freight, sensitivity to nuance and implicit structural coherence."
Phil Freeman of Burning Ambulance commented: "The two Considerations LPs have never been reissued on vinyl or CD; they're not on any streaming service; and they're not that easy to come by. Some enterprising soul should absolutely find the rights (and the tapes) and get them back out there, though, because the music is extraordinary and beautiful and 100% worth hearing for all Bill Dixon fans and anyone with an ear for adventurous, creative music."

# Burn Back the Sun

"Burn Back the Sun" is the second single from Decyfer Down's debut album, End of Grey. It reached the number-one spot on the Christian Rock chart and remains a popular song from the band.
In 2016, it was covered and released in an acoustic version on their album, The Other Side of Darkness, with TJ Harris on the Vocals. Not only did that have an acoustic theme as opposed to the original's electric sound, but the fact that the two were sung by two different Vocalists made the two unique from each other. However, that version was never released as a single. It was also released as a track on Decyfer Down's five-track acoustic EP, released exclusively to people who contributed to their IndieGoGo Campaign.

## Song meaning

Former singer Caleb Oliver talks in an interview, saying that many times he feels so on fire and passionate about life, Christ, and God's will for his life. Then he'll find himself growing cold and slipping away. Oliver goes on saying, that it's basically a big analogy for a person's walk and their everyday struggle to stay on fire.

## Personnel

* Caleb Oliver - lead vocals, backing vocals, bass guitar
* Brandon Mills - lead guitars, rhythm guitars, backing vocals, synth
* Christopher Clonts - lead guitars, rhythm guitars, backing vocals

# Antofagasta de la Sierra Department

Antofagasta de la Sierra is the northernmost department of Catamarca Province in Argentina.
The provincial subdivision has a population of about 1,300 inhabitants in an area of 28,097 km$^2$ (10,848 sq mi), and its capital city is Antofagasta de la Sierra.

## Volcanoes

The department is most famous for its volcanic activity. There are over 200 volcanos situated in the Antofagasta de la Sierra volcanic field, the most notable of them being Antofalla, Carachi Pampa, Alumbrera and Galán.
The Galán volcano has the largest explosive caldera in the world.

## Pre-history

There is evidence of hunter-gatherer people in the region dating back about 8,000 years. Their diet largely consisted of wild camelid animals. Seeds of amaranth grain dating from 4,500 years ago and evidence—grinding artefacts—that they may have been used as food since 7,000 years ago have been found.
# Burglehn

In medieval law in the Holy Roman Empire, the term Burglehn described two things:
* The castle with all its accessories as a feud, which the king could give to a vassal.
* A defined area outside the walls of a castle, where the houses of the burgmannen were found.
The burgmannnen were given these houses by their lords as part of their remuneration as well as a feud. The area of the burglehn and its inhabitants were under a special law. That is, they were neither subject to the territorial lord (Landesherr), nor to the town charter, not even if the burglehn was within the town walls. In law, they were subject to the holder of the castle.
Such houses were often also freihauses. There were frequent disputes between the people of the burglehn and the adjacent town, about whether the inhabitants of these houses could exercise crafts that were otherwise regulated by the town's guilds.
The burglehn began to be dissolved and placed under the local government in the 17th century. This process was completed in the 19th century. Some burglehns lasted much longer than the associated castles, which had often lost their military significance. Even today in some towns and cities a street name refers to the location of the former burglehns.

# Aruna Stambha

Aruna Stambha (Sun Pillar) is a sixteen-sided 34 feet (10 m) tall monolithic chlorite stone Pillar having the idol of Aruna (Charioteer of Sun) on the top. It is about twenty feet (6.1 m) away from the Singhdwara (Lion Gateway) of Jagannath Temple in Puri.
It is an important Landmark of Puri and the pilgrims and devotees worship it with great reverence. The Stambha has a magnificent base carved with military scenes and other figures. Its Capitol is ornamented by a series of lotus petals. The monolithic shafts nearly in circumference is sixteen sided. Above this are two gradually diminishing square slabs surmounted by the idol of Aruna in the act of praying to the god Sun. The column is about 34 feet (10.5 m) in height. The whole Stambha is a monument of great beauty.

## History

According to Madala Panji, Chronicle of Jagannath Temple, mentioned that the Aruna Stambha was brought from the Konark (Sun temple) during the reign of Bhoi king Dibyasingha Deva II by the Maratha guru 'Brahmachari Gosain' and erected here in front of Singhadwara. In 1815 the artists of Colin Mackenzie preparing a sketch of the Pillar at Puri on 26 April. The Pillar seems to have been removed to Puri in the last quarter of the 18th century. From the Vedic times, Surya is taken to be identical with Vishnu. Hence it was quite appropriate to place in front of the temple of Vishnu-Jagannath at Puri.

# Astragalus amphioxys

Astragalus amphioxys, common name crescent milkvetch, is a plant found in the American southwest, including the whole of Utah, the southeast part of Nevada, the north part of Arizona, the western part of Colorado, the northwestern part of New Mexico, and one county in Texas. It was first described by Asa Gray in 1878.

## Description

The color of the flowers ranges from pink-purple to reddish-purple. The irregular flowers are in elongated clusters. The bloom period is between the months of March to June. It rarely flowers in its first year of life. The petals are around twice as long as the sepals. The leaf color is green to silvery-white. The compound leaves are round or oval in shape. The smooth leaves have an alternate leaf attachment. The spineless leaves and stem have hair on them. They have the same amount of hair on opposite sides. The fruits are pods. The pods only have one chamber and an lower seam that lies in a groove, distinguishing it from other similar species. It is most commonly found in the months of April, May, and June.
Astragalus amphioxys has 4 subspecies:
Astragalus amphioxys var. amphioxys native to Nevada, Utah, Arizona, and New Mexico, secure in all four.
Astragalus amphioxys var. modestus native to Nevada, Utah, and Arizona, critically endangered.
Astragalus amphioxys var. musimonum native to Nevada and Arizona, imperiled in Nevada and critically endangered in Arizona.
Astragalus amphioxys var. vespertinus native to Nevada, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, and New Mexico.

## Distribution and habitat

It can be found in deserts, arid grasslands, and among piñon and juniper. It occurs in the Desert Scrub, Interior Chaparral, Semidesert Grasslands, Pinyon Juniper Woodland, and Montane Conifer Forest plant communities, at elevations of 2000–7000 feet.
Although most of the observations of the species were in the general range that the species is known for (I.e. Southwestern U.S.), according to GBIF.org, there was one observation of it in Northeastern Alaska.
It can be found in Arches National Park, specifically around the visitor center and on the Portal trail outside the park.
It has a global rank of G5, which means it is very secure. Arizona and Nevada rank it as secure, but Texas ranks it as very endangered in the state. All of the other states don't have a rank for their state.

## Uses

The Zuni use the plant medicinally. The fresh or dried root is chewed by a medicine man before sucking snakebite and poultice applied to wound.
