Just discovered Sam Wilkes and some of his work and bass playing
It reminds me a lot to John Hassell/Eno era a bit more jazzy
I really hope that one day people will catch on to how truly phenomenal this album is
so pointing out a highlight seems redundant
but I am always in awe of how Amime effects me
it makes me think it surpasses the realm of just music
This album has become my personal soundtrack to reading YKK

her country’s constant position in favor of Morocco’s territorial integrity and sovereignty over its entire territory
In a press briefing following talks with her Moroccan peer Nasser Bourita
the head of São Tomé and Príncipe’s diplomacy reaffirmed her country’s full support for the Morocco-proposed autonomy plan
the only credible and realistic solution to this regional dispute
Amado Vaz also praised the efforts of the United Nations as the exclusive framework for reaching a realistic
and lasting solution to the dispute over the Sahara
The São Toméan top diplomat also expressed her satisfaction with the significant progress made by the Kingdom of Morocco regarding the socio-economic development of the Southern Provinces
São Tomé and Príncipe’s support to Morocco’s sovereignty over its Sahara was translated in 2020 by the opening of a Consulate General in Laayoune
The São Toméan official also praised the leadership and commendable contribution of King Mohammed VI to the international community’s efforts to promote peace
Amado Vaz also expressed her country’s commitment to further strengthening cooperation with Morocco in various fields
as highlighted in a Joint Statement issued after a meeting between the two countries’ foreign ministers
Both ministers praised the momentum created within the framework of the Atlantic African States Process (AASP) to make the Atlantic African space a zone of co-emergence and stability
as well as a geostrategic framework that holds significant opportunities for synergy and cooperation between the countries involved
in strategic areas such as the environment
Bourita and Amado Vaz also acknowledged the strategic role of the AASP in reinforcing peace
The São Toméan Minister further indicated that the partnership with the Kingdom of Morocco within the framework of the AASP will bring concrete benefits to the populations of both countries
she also hailed the King’s initiative aimed at enabling Atlantic access for Sahel countries
describing the initiative as being of strategic importance and as being part of Morocco’s active solidarity and South-South win-win cooperation with fellow African countries
The two ministers hailed the progress made in building the Atlantic African Gas Pipeline
with its operational phases currently in the startup phase

São Tomé and Príncipe has a new head of government, replacing Patrice Trovoada, who was dismissed from his position as prime minister by the country’s president last week, reports the Portuguese news agency Lusa
who was serving as São Tomé’s justice and administration minister at the time of her appointment
She is the third woman to serve in the role
and one of three candidates proposed for the position by the governing Independent Democratic Action (ADI) party
legislative speaker Celmira Sacremento and health and women’s rights minister Ângela Costa
ADI Secretary-General Elísio Teixeira characterised the picks as experienced officials “who know and can continue the process of governance” while maintaining “the stability of relations between the party and the government and with São Toméan society.”
[See more: São Tomé and Príncipe has run out of money to pay for imports]
President Carlos Vila Nova dismissed the government last Monday
his presidential decree citing its “marked inability” to solve the country’s “numerous challenges” and “manifest institutional disloyalty” in relations with him.
He also pointed to the signing of international agreements, including those with Turkey and Venezuela, without his knowledge, as well as extended absences by Trovoada which amounted to nearly seven months.
Trovoada was the second prime minister to serve under Vila Nova since the president took office in October 2021, having replaced Jorge Bom Jesus, and this month marks the end of his fourth tenure as São Tomé’s prime minister – a position he has held on and off since 2008. With her appointment, Amado Vaz becomes the first woman to hold the post since Maria do Carmo Silveira ended her tenure in April 2006.
which features a High Valyrian course put together by Game of Thrones language guru David J
Ahead of the show's season 8 premiere on April 14
Peterson outlined a few High Valyrian phrases that anyone hoping to visit Westeros should master
It probably isn’t a place you’d want to visit now that it has been breached by the Night King
but if the Wall is still on your Westerosi bucket list
memorize the phrase “Skorverdon dekuroti Dōros hen kesīr ilza?” which means
Weddings are rarely joyous affairs in Westeros (just ask Robb Stark and King Joffrey)
but if you’re planning to attend one regardless
this is the phrase for you: It means “which way to the wedding?”
This question—which means “Who holds the Iron Throne?”—is probably best asked outside of King’s Landing
where Cersei will have you beheaded for daring to be so stupid
Or: “Is this Dornish wine?” As a visitor to Westeros, it’s important to know that there are two types of Dornish wine: sour and strongwine. They’re both reds, and probably both enjoyed by Cersei and Tyrion Lannister. (It should be noted: You don’t have to go to Westeros to drink Game of Thrones wine.)
Some of us can’t travel without crafting a detailed itinerary
“Kaerīnvesse Dāroti Viliniot mazōreksi?”—“Does Kings Landing take reservations?”—is a phrase for all the planners out there
This translates to “Can I book a tour at the Crypt of Winterfell?” Because what trip to Westeros would be complete without paying your respects to Ned
The answer to this question—which translates to
“Does the Iron Bank have an ATM?”—is only yes if you’re Cersei Lannister
Another High Valyrian phase you could consider memorizing is “Skorverdon kesy issa,” or “How much is this?”
“Can I take a picture with a dragon?” (Something tells us Drogon wouldn’t be open to selfies
This translates to “How long is the line for Hot Pie’s bakery?” The answer is probably: Pretty long. The guy makes the best bread in Westeros! (Fun fact: Ben Hawkey, the actor who plays Hot Pie, opened a pop-up bakery in London back in 2017 as part of a Game of Thronespromotion.)
or just if someone asks for your name and don't feel like giving it: It translates to

or a $10 bill she could use to buy a bag of heroin
Ilza Padua bathes her 500-pound ex-boyfriend in exchange for a shower
Homeless for years in the madness and squalor of West Kensington
her leathery skin marred with scars from knife attacks and repeated spikings from dope needles
She carries a clutch of novels with her - Robin Cook is popular among the homeless for some reason - and has survived by staying awake at night and prostituting herself only to men who seem safe
Padua says Kensington has been getting crowded lately with more homeless people flooding the neighborhood
known as the epicenter of drug crime in Philadelphia
"There are so many kids here now," Padua said
"I ran into my 23-year-old nephew doing heroin."
The change is conspicuous: "Homelessness in Kensington is increasing exponentially," said Jose Benitez
a neighborhood needle-exchange program that provides free medical clinics and accepts mail for the homeless
What's driving the rise in homelessness is a complex mix of factors
including the pull of heroin; cuts to food stamps
and drug-treatment programs; gentrification in nearby Fishtown; and increased poverty
as though ambient filth melded with the concrete
It's not just that the sidewalks are dirty; dirt is ground into the sidewalk
Homeless people gather near freight tracks and under bridges like hobos during the Depression
Their encampments are both convivial and dangerous
as "dope-sick" people (suffering withdrawal) turn on one another in a second
The vast majority of street homeless are either addicts or mentally disturbed
and people suffering from both diseases met beneath pink crape myrtle
Though greater numbers of homeless people live in Center City
Kensington is where the largest growth in homelessness in the city has been in the last year
who runs the homeless advocacy group Project HOME
Agency figures show average summer and winter street counts of homeless people in Kensington rose from 13 in 2010 to 158 in 2013
the average street count in Center City in 2013 was 375
Street counts are censuses taken on a single day
and experts acknowledge many homeless people who often burrow under bridges or take refuge in abandoned buildings are missed
There's never been a street count of homeless larger than 900 in Philadelphia
but between 5,000 and 6,000 people have contact with homeless street outreach workers during the year
a director at the city's Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services
the number of people in city homeless shelters ranges between 10,000 and 20,000
Though any tally of the Kensington homeless is imprecise
the more than tenfold increase in population within three years is nevertheless staggering
Because new laws restrict prescriptions for opioids such as oxycodone (found in Percocet)
young people accustomed to abusing the drug are replacing it with injectable heroin
a University of Pennsylvania anthropologist and expert on the drug trade
Bourgois lived in Kensington for his research
"Young people find themselves forced to go for the cheaper
more plentiful powder heroin you have to inject," Bourgois said
"And these are the people who end up homeless
because addicts become trapped right around the sites where they buy their drugs and sell themselves for drug money
They call it 'getting lost in the Bermuda Triangle.' "
heroin is a drug of choice among white people
populated largely by Puerto Rican residents
a 30-year-old former dog groomer from Northeast Philadelphia who is white
fell into homelessness in Kensington after smoking and sniffing heroin
wanting to see what it was all about," she said
Maintaining an addiction can be more rigorous than work
Sellers lost her job and became a denizen of the Kensington streets
She started living in a park and then a shed in Kensington
many people with drug problems in Kensington like Sellers could afford rooms in buildings or small apartments using General Assistance dollars
ending that lifeline for 37,000 Philadelphians
recovering addicts contributed their stipend to halfway houses that aided recovery
But the end of GA meant many such halfway houses had to close
the state and federal governments have cut about $6 million from the city's drug- and alcohol-recovery programs over the last six years
director of the Office of Addiction Services in the city Department of Behavioral Health and Intellectual Disability Services
Those cuts contribute to homelessness in Kensington
The slashing of federal food-stamp benefits hastens homelessness
already the poorest area in the poorest big city in America
Benitez added that the larger population of homeless in Center City get greater attention from the city than Kensington
With more frequent contact from outreach services
those homeless people are placed on lists that prioritize them for housing and other programs
I may never have contact with an outreach team," Benitez said
Further complicating matters is the dearth of homeless shelters in Kensington
Kensington is receiving more homeless people also because places like Fishtown are gentrifying
driving up rents in the area and forcing those who can't afford them to live on the streets
"Rents are up from $500 to $700 even in areas where buildings haven't been improved," she said
Monitoring the rise in homelessness in Kensington
It's a really big concentration of folks needing help."
sister of Latvian tourist Liga Skromane who was raped and killed at Kovalam in 2018
is eager to hear the sentence to be awarded on Monday to the two accused who have been found guilty of the crime
Ilza is working overtime at her beauty parlour in Cork city
to pay off the debts caused by the legal battle she fought to secure justice for Liga
it was Liga who suggested the name ‘Beauty Crime’ for the parlour
Ilza had to take a break from her business and the COVID-19 crisis that followed made things worse
She had arrived for Ayurvedic treatment at a centre in Pothencode
Thiruvananthapuram for depression and Ilza had accompanied her as a bystander
Liga went for a morning walk and was never seen again
After a police complaint was filed in the evening
a search was launched and Liga’s body was recovered one month later
Ilza launched a legal battle with the help of friends
a court delivered a verdict which found both accused – Umesh and Udayan of Panathura - guilty
Ilza spoke to Manorama Online about the case
I had to spend nine months at a stretch in Kerala
waiting for the trial to begin and it adversely affected my business
was admitted to hospital in a bad condition and I had to rush to Latvia
I again came to Kerala leaving my family and business
Liga’s mortal remains were recovered on my birthday
I wanted to perform the last rites for Liga as per Latvian custom by placing flowers and playing her favourite songs
But she was cremated at Shanthi Kavadam at Thycaud in Thiruvananthapuram
So many people crowded the place and I couldn’t go anywhere near her body
I didn’t stop crying for two days after her cremation
we had visited several villages in Kerala and Tamil Nadu
There are two cartoon-like illustrations of husband-and-wife duo and Ilza founders Han Oh and Erin Kim on the fridge behind the counter at the CBD’s new Japanese spot
The illustrations were designed by one of Oh’s friends when the couple opened the first Ilza location in Docklands just under five years ago. The pair, who met while working at Nobu’s Melbourne location – Kim in the kitchen where she started as an apprentice and worked her way up to sous-chef
and Oh on the floor and as a junior sommelier – opened their fourth location just last month
The Little Collins Street shopfront has just 25 seats including the outdoor area
designed the space herself and matched the white square subway tiles and the wood grain and colour from the next-door restaurant
which used to also occupy the new Ilza space
The restaurant in both its decor and atmosphere is decidedly more casual than the Japanese fine diner where the couple met
I wanted to be more casual to serve more people,” says Kim
but we both had good experience and we both love dining
so we started to make our food more casual.”
Kim says the ingredients and technique are mostly Japanese
in which Kim “twists” Japanese teriyaki sauce with Korean gochujang
Fans of the couple’s other Ilza locations in Docklands
Box Hill South and Nunawading will be familiar with the lunch offerings at the city outpost
a Korean-American dish combining canned corn
which she wraps in a rice paper roll and fries
There’s also her signature hamburger curry udon
a Japanese curry served with a hamburger patty that is filled with cheese
But dinner at the Little Collins Street location is filled with new dishes largely inspired by the izakaya restaurants Kim visited on trips to Osaka
raw dishes like kingfish crudo and salmon tartare
and croquettes filled with mozzarella and served with jalapeno mayo to “give it a little kick," as Kim says
Kim’s food is made to pair well with Oh’s cocktails
but not too fancy,” he says of his drinks style
Popular alcoholic offerings include the Peach Hana
which mixes lychee and peach soju with Cointreau and house-made strawberry jam
There’s also a small selection of sake and Japanese beers on offer
Kim used to bake as a form of meditation and relaxation on her days off
she uses her sweet skills at work and develops all the recipes for Ilza’s dessert offerings
These include strawberry shortcake; orange
matcha and black sesame Basque cheesecakes and matcha tiramisu
While the couple builds their mini Ilza empire together
Kim hopes the next spot will be more of a “Erin’s Sweet Shop”-type concept
where she’s able to get creative with desserts

you can take a seat at the penny-tiled wooden tables (which Oh and Kim refurbed themselves) and see how the menu experiments with Japanese and American flavours
A crowd favourite is the cheeseburger curry udon
which is best paired with a malty Asahi or Yoyogi Black Lager
a classic sando might be the go – like the beef menchi sando stuffed with Japanese meatballs
shredded cabbage and Ilza’s signature sauce
The drinks are just as experimental, with strawberry-matcha, peanut-butter and orange lattes available. For something more familiar, grab a coffee by Zest
Ilza also serves up hearty dinners a few nights a week
Go for its salmon tartare served on crisp lettuce or rice dons with pork katsu
Dessert might be a sweet matcha panna cotta or strawberry shortcake
Pair your meal with a yuzu Margarita or a refreshing soju-spiked cocktail
The Peach Hana marries peach soju with Cointreau
there’s also an abundance of sake and Haku vodka-laced highballs
as well as non-alcoholic drinks like the Japanese soft drink ramune (which loosely translates to “lemonade”)
opt for one of a handful of Yarra Valley wines

The trial in the murder of Latvian tourist
The trial begins more than four years after Liga's body was found inside an obscure mangrove forest at Thiruvallam
It was in such a decomposed state that her head had virtually severed from her body
The remains were found nearly one-and-a-half months after she went missing from her Ayurveda retreat at Pothencode
The prosecution case is that the accused - Udayan (27) and Umesh (31) - had lured Liga to the mangrove forest
drugged her and then sexually assaulted her
and hung her from a tree in the mangrove forest
Post-mortem conducted on her body revealed blood clots in her brain
hinting at the possibility of strangulation
a clear sign that she was undressed and raped
It was after nearly two months of the probe that the police team finally reached the mangrove forest
One of the accused is a tourist guide and the other
Liga's younger sister who identified Liga's decomposed body
was the first person to take to the witness stand on Wednesday
Ilze told the court that she and her sister came to Kerala for a long-haul Ayurveda treatment on February 3
She said that Liga had successfully undergone treatment for depression in Ireland
She said the doctor then instructed Liga to submit herself to comprehensive Ayurveda therapy
more than a month after the treatment began
the sisters were supposed to attend a yoga class in the hospital
But Liga said she had a headache and asked Ilza to go alone
They searched for Liga in all the places she could possibly visit but there was no trace of her
who said that he had driven her to Kovalam
She then went around putting up posters of her missing sister all over Kerala
When the police mailed her some pictures of the body
putting up posters and trying to find some trace of her missing sister
"I could recognise my sister from the picture
especially her brown hair and the printed ornament in front of her toga top," Ilze said
She immediately took a night train back to Thiruvananthapuram and was quickly taken by the police to the mangrove forest to identify the body
Her first day in the witness box of a foreign court
when she was peppered with probing questions for nearly an hour by the defence counsel
“I felt peaceful because I know that what I am saying is true
and that my sole aim is to get justice for my sister and my family,” Ilze told Onmanorama
“I have been waiting for this day,” she said
she is slightly worried about the other 103 witnesses
the police arrested the relative of one of the accused for threatening a witness
“I am worried about the safety of the witnesses but I strongly believe that they will testify what they know to be true,” she said
live in the same area as these criminals (the accused) and their friends,” she said
hinting that there was every chance that the witnesses could be intimidated and forced to turn hostile
she is fully satisfied with the police investigation and their findings
Liga's partner Andrew Jordan had questioned the police probe and said that there were more people involved than the two accused
He had even called for a CBI probe into Liga's murder
“My family and I have never wanted Andrew's involvement in my sister's case
Neither do we know him well nor do we understand the motives behind his actions,” Ilze said
Ilze had moved to Ireland from her native Latvia
The other members of her family are in Latvia
Her father is a retired mechanical engineer and her mother is a florist
She does not subscribe to Andrew's allegation that more than two people were involved
"When I saw the place where my sister's body was found (the mangrove forest)
it was clear that it was the hang-out of these two accused
Nobody else could have any idea that such a place even existed," she said
Ilze was also unable to stand earlier rumours that her sister was a junkie
Liga might have been drawn by these criminals by their promise to show some beautiful places near Kovalam
(Ilza had told the Court on Wednesday that Liga was a nature lover.) But she smoked cigarettes and drugs could have been stealthily added to her cigarettes," Ilze said
She will be in Thiruvananthapuram till the trial is over

Japan remains a top travel destination for Australians
and with more than 45,000 Japan-born people living in Australia (as of the 2021 census)
it’s no surprise that the east Asian country’s food culture has had a significant impact on Melbourne’s food scene
This city loves Japanese cafes, including staples like Collingwood favourite Cibi and Camberwell’s Haiku as well as instant classic Moon Mart
we’ve seen the arrival of three new exciting Japanese cafes spots that all also happen to be open for dinner
where Kim “twists” Japanese teriyaki sauce with Korean gochujang
mayonnaise and cheese wrapped in a rice paper roll and fried
There’s also the signature hamburger curry udon
But dinner at the Little Collins Street location is filled with dishes largely inspired by the izakaya restaurants Kim visited on trips to Osaka
and croquettes filled with mozzarella and served with jalapeno mayo
a Japanese dish that sees a broth – traditionally made with tea – poured over a bowl of rice and toppings
Here they skip the tea and instead use a dashi-based broth with chicken stock
you can order the ochazuke set with sides of ceviche
with Feng also sourcing from guest roasters in China and Japan
The team imports Japanese tea such as sencha
Chiaki transforms into an izakaya that’s also inspired by Australian wine bars
Zhou oversees the menu including snacks and small plates such as savoury shiso leaf madeleines; oysters with mirin dressing; Wagyu tartare with tuna mayo; whipped salmon and cod roe on shokupan; and potato salad with jalapeno
serves breakfast and lunch all day and izakaya classics with sake by night
To drink, there’s coffee from Wide Open Road and single-origin matcha and hojicha (roasted green tea) lattes, plus Mork hot chocolate and house-made juices
Check out our guide to the city’s best Japanese cafes for more
A particular favourite are the raspberry croissants at Ket Baker
It’s the one season we can basically bank on here in Geelong that we know will deliver on its namesake promise of being wet
not complaining – about needing to wear coats out on evenings
enjoying those delicious winter vegetables (parsnip
broccoli and swiss chard are all in season
right?) and fully appreciating those venues who keep their bars and dining rooms warm for us paying patrons
What should definitely be on your radar right now is Ilza
a small but modern Japanese café found on the ground floor of the WorkSafe building in Geelong’s CBD
beef menchi balls and corn cheese harumaki (Japanese spring rolls) sit along a large tempura offering
particularly as Geelong has never really had a great
there’s a dish at Man Bo restaurant I tried last week that is well worth your restaurant dollars if you’re looking for good Chinese
It’s the chef’s take on typhoon shelter prawns
originally a Hong Kong dish where garlic (and lots of it)
the whole prawn sees a quick deep fry in aromatic oil
I’m not sure where they get their produce
seriously large) can be eaten – head
shell and all – once given more chilli
What I further like about Man Bo’s version too
is they’ll add foie gras to the dish in the stir-fry for minimal extra charge
If you like garlic and you also like prawns
A couple of Little Malop precinct additions are about to be launched too this winter
with Daisy Bar heading in the basement space below where Dribbles was once located
and one that I always thought would work if the right bar operators nailed the offering – let’s hope the incoming tenants can turn this moody
concrete subterranean space into something special
Let’s hope the people of Geelong are thirsty this winter
as the other new opening in this strip is also yet another bar
all within a 100 metre radius (just saying)
it will occupy what was until recently I Raggazi pasta bar
And it’ll be bittersweet to see one of our town’s original independent wine bars change hands this weekend
as the owners of Union Street Wine serve their final glass on Saturday after nearly 10 years in the game
Probably the first of Geelong’s better places solely focused on bringing you the best glass or bottle
Let’s hope the new owners continue to grow punters’ appreciation and taste for all things vino
Union Street Cellars on Minerva Road (Herne Hill) will however still stay under the previous ownership
I was reminded by a recent visit just how great the bread (and sweet treats) can be at Ket Baker
Hands down the best niche bakery on the Bellarine
it’s not hard to understand why this place is a destination for so many residents in the surrounding Leopold/Ocean Grove/Queenscliff catchment
Newtown) that fly the flag high for Geelong state baker stage
A particular favourite are the raspberry croissants
then it’s got to be the seeded sourdough loaf (or their fruit loaf
only days ago as this goes to print – is a promising (albeit small) addition to Geelong West’s wholesome coffee/café scene called At Randy’s
I’m yet to check it out (it’s on the hit list for this week) but a cousin of mine has already reported positive things
basically around the corner from Geelong Fresh
It’s great to see a few new additions like this one to our hospitality landscape coming into winter
Perhaps it’s not all gloomy weather out there after all
‘I would like you to sign this for me.’ That’s all she said
‘Even my mother had to sign one.’ I think she was joking,” Waterman added
‘I’ll sign it if you sign something not to talk about me and to not speak about us anymore.’ He said he didn’t want her using him in books or newspapers and magazines to build up her public persona.” And her curt response was not surprising
“She said ‘no.’ He said she was getting upset
Reports even claimed Waterman was paid $15,000 to $20,000 to appear on Keeping Up with the Kardashians
“She never paid him for anything,” Waterman revealed
“When people have a lot of money they never pay for the things that they do
They can always get away with it.” That she did
Jenner even continued to lead the public into thinking she just bumped into Waterman in the summer of 2012 while playing tennis. But it wasn’t that coincidental. The Kardashians have been accused of creating fake scenes before
She had to have known he was there,” Ilza remembered
And all the attention on Waterman’s private life has taken a toll on her former lover
He didn’t want to bring this up in the open like this,” she said of her Emmy-nominated son
But the TV manipulation that has haunted the world’s most famous family since their hit show debuted in 2007
Ilza recalls Jenner as “honest” and “sweet” and always driven
“I didn’t meet that horrible person that’s written about
She was a hardworking woman even back then
She was always looking for something to do to show her worth
When your husband works that much and you have all that money and nothing to do
Someone put the two together.” But Jenner’s honesty was questionable
“I didn’t know she was married. She told us she was separated,” she revealed to RadarOnline.com
“She wouldn’t talk about her husband with me. If she did I would have said, ‘What are you doing here with my son? What are you doing coming after my young son with all of these kids?’” Waterman, then 24, and Jenner, then 36, were so close she even brought a then 5-year-old Khloe Kardashian to Waterman’s family home and attended their family functions
“She would always come along with us to events
We even had a neighborhood wedding and she came,” she said
That’s why I thought she was separated because they went everywhere.”
It all came crashing down when Jenner’s high-powered attorney husband phoned her house in the early morning hours
This man called Todd asking if he knew where his wife was,” she continued
I suggest you talk with your wife and I’ll talk with my son.’ “That’s when we said
‘I’m just a kid and I could never support a child and give her the life she was accustomed to.’”
That’s when Waterman moved to England to escape the family drama that ended up making Jenner a household name. Even nearly 25 years later, Ilza says she doesn’t judge Jenner for what happened. Still, she’s even tossed around the idea of writing a book of her own because
she never signed a confidentiality agreement
I have millions of things… if I could talk about it
Maybe I should change the names like she did,” she laughed
