Emika (album)

Emika is the debut studio album by English singer Emika, released on 3 October 2011 by Ninja Tune.Berlin engineer Rashad Becker.

Background

Emika chose a software studio as her instrument throughout her musical education and beyond. In Berlin she started to collaborate with engineer Rashad Becker. She has mentioned the roots techno culture as an inspiration because "it was a movement with sound and dancing at its very core. It was not about idols or stars, it was about sound and people coming together to dance and feel free" and also dubstep from Bristol and London, for "originally it was deep spiritual music made by kids for kids".Delia Derbyshire, the BBC Radiophonic Workshop composer who came up with the original Doctor Who theme music ("not so much for the sounds she made as rather for her questing spirit, it inspires me as I go ahead mapping my own musical realm"),Mahler and Rachmaninoff. "Historically they are worlds apart, and yet much of their music shares a beautiful sense for tragedy. The tragedy of life itself, as it were. Not in a way that creates sadness within the listener, but in a way that makes one hold on dearly to every moment lived", she explained.

The songs of the album have been based on narratives. "I start with an idea, a story, and then I seek to find the sound world that best dramatizes my story, making it into a song. I try very hard to stay faithful to my narratives and not fall into the trap of genre conventions which is why I'm shy of genre references", Emika explained.

Singles

The release of Emika was preceded four singles which later were included into the album. The lead single, "Drop the Other", was released on 18 January 2010, and was followed by "Double Edge" on 10 May 2010.


Emika (album)

In times of stress, you can count your date of birth backwards or spell your birth month backwards and the logical side of the mind is kicked into action, resulting in a feeling of calm. Counting backwards is a coping mechanism in overwhelming moments of panic… The song is inspired by my best friend from my teenage years. She was a lot older than me and was in therapy. She told me about how our brain works and how it connects thoughts, feelings and creativity. This was the first moment in my life where I became aware of my own creativity.

The single was remixed by British dubstep producers Kryptic Minds and also Marcel Dettmann.

On 5 September 2011, Ninja Tune released the fourth single "Pretend"/"Professional Loving". The first track, in Emika's words, is "about all sides of fakeness, disbelief, dancing on the head of a pin. It begins with a synth I made to feel like a heartbeat, and ends with psychotic hi-hats playing a melody which will come get you while you sleep", the second about the way in which the music industry uses "friendship" as a form of control.

Emika received generally positive reviews from music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalised rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, the album received an average score of 78, based on 13 reviews.AllMusic wrote that the album's "fusion of ethereal melodies and hushed harmonies with avant-garde electronica and twitchy rhythms is indeed as enchanting as it is unsettling", concluding, "Emika doesn't really sound like anyone else out there, an admirable feat which should appeal to those dismayed by dubstep's recent commercial takeover."The Observer described the album as "an intriguing work: dark, seductive and as hard to pin down as its creator", adding that "the influence of Portishead can be heard in [Emika's] crystalline vocals, but it doesn't define her."Drowned in Sound praised the album as "varied and impressive" and noted that it has "a remarkable sonic balance, creating a tense, claustrophobic atmosphere that lasts from beginning to end."


Emika (album)

Pitchfork's Jeff Weiss viewed Emika as "the product of a dynamic and assured vision, one that retains an alluring sense of mystery."BBC Music's Wyndham Wallace dubbed the album "[d]isconcerting but bewitching" and stated, "Pop enough to be immediately accessible, but dark enough—in fact almost gothic, in the same way as Zola Jesus is gothic—to be mysterious and provocative, Emika leaves you wanting more, even though you know it's sometimes rather troubling."The Irish Times found that "[t]here's a wonderful ethereal mood to the tracks, but dig a little deeper and you'll hear her Emika's fondness for dubstep, techno and the minor masterpieces of the BBC Radiophonic Workshop", calling the album "a seductive, impressive affair, the sound of a producer showing just how much potential she has to offer."Resident Advisor expressed that "Emika's music is formidably physical, a quality only amplified by the tense silence that constantly threatens to swallow everything around it. Listen on headphones and you'll get an uncomfortably absent 48 minutes; listen on a good system and you'll be entrapped and immersed."PopMatters commented that "[c]ognitive distortion is all over Emika and can at times be sublime", but felt that "[t]here are points on the album meant to pierce that don't hit hard enough and moments of unease which seem swamped down by the overproduction muck."

Dick Pougher

Arthur Dick Pougher (/pʌfɜːr/; 19 April 1865 – 20 May 1926)cricketer and umpire who played for Leicestershire County Cricket Club from 1885 to 1901, and in one Test match for England in 1891–92. He was born at Humberstone, Leicestershire and died at Aylestone Park, Leicester.

Pougher was an all-rounder who played in 163 first-class matches. He was a right-handed batsman and scored 4,555 runs at an average of 18.59 runs per completed innings with a highest score of 114 as one of five centuries. He was a right arm fast medium bowler who could also bowl off breaks. He took 535 wickets at an average of 19.02 runs per wicket. He took five wickets in an innings 31 times with best figures of 9/34. He achieved ten wickets in a match seven times with a best return of 14/89. He held 98 career catches.

Playing career

Tours

Pougher went on two overseas tours but played in only one Test match for England, which was against South Africa at Cape Town in 1891–92. He was awarded two benefits: one by Leicestershire in 1900 and one by Middlesex in 1910.

Five for none versus the 1896 Australians

Pougher's Wisden obituary recalls his "most memorable feat" when he played for Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) against the 1896 Australian tourists at Lord's on 11 June 1896.J. T. Hearne and William Attewell to reach 18/3 in the first seventeen overs. At that point, W. G. Grace, the MCC captain, decided to replace Attewell with Pougher.


Dick Pougher

From his first delivery, Pougher caught and bowled Jim Kelly, taking the catch with his right hand. Pougher then bowled Clem Hill with a delivery that "bewildered" the batsman. Hugh Trumble survived the three remaining balls of the five-ball over without scoring so Pougher had a double-wicket maiden. Jack Hearne continued bowling from the other end. Pougher's second over, again bowling to Trumble, was another maiden but without a wicket falling. With the second ball of his next over, Hearne bowled Frank Iredale and the Australians were then 18/6 (effectively 18/7 because George Giffen had been taken ill and was out of the match). Hearne had taken 4/4 in eleven overs. Pougher came on for his third over and finished the innings at 18/9 by bowling Trumble with his second delivery, then bowling Charles Eady with his third and, off the fifth and last ball of the over, having Tom McKibbin caught by George Davidson.

Pougher took five wickets in fifteen deliveries (including three wickets in four deliveries) without conceding a run. In scorecard notation, the sequence of his deliveries was:

ww...|.....|.ww.w (w = wicket taken; . = no run scored; | = end of over)

Having been dismissed for only 18, the Australians were obliged to bat again and reached close of play with 25/2, still 176 runs behind. On the second day, they were all out for 183 after a good partnership of 112 between Joe Darling (76) and Eady (42). Pougher bowled 28 overs in the second innings, including 15 maidens, but took no more wickets and his return was 0/33. Jack Hearne, however, took 9/73 for a match analysis of 13/77.

Umpiring career

Pougher umpired 49 first-class matches. All but two of these were between 1903 and 1909; the exceptions were one match in Australia in 1888–89 and Leicestershire's game against the West Indians in 1923.Yorkshire's game against Kent in July 1904, but this match is not included in the total, as he and fellow umpire William Shrewsbury (brother of Arthur) declared the match void after the first day because of illegal changes made to the pitch.


Dick Pougher

Later years

After retiring from cricket, Pougher kept the Old Cricket Ground Hotel at Aylestone Park, Leicester, where he died in 1926, aged 61.

Nothin' but Good

Nothin' but Good is the second album by American country music singer Dawn Sears. It was released in 1994 via Decca Records.

Critical reception

Giving it 3 out of 5 stars, Jim Ridley of New Country magazine thought that the album's production was "straight down the middle of a pop-country road" and "still fails to register Sears' own personality strongly", but thought that her performances on "Runaway Train", "Uh Oh", and "Planet of Love" were solid. He added that she "sings most movingly" on "Little Orphan Annie", a song written in tribute to her parents.

Cäcilia Weber

Cäcilia Cordula Weber (née Stamm; 23 October 1727 – 22 August 1793) was the mother of Constanze Weber and the mother-in-law of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

Biography

She was born in Mannheim, the daughter of Johann Otto Stamm, a government secretary, and Sophia Elisabeth Wimmer.Franz Fridolin WeberJosepha, Aloysia, Constanze, and Sophie. Constanze was the only one who did not become a professional singer, but, according to Mozart, she possessed a fine voice and musical ear. The children were born in Zell im Wiesental, but the family moved to Mannheim soon after Sophie was born.

Cäcilia first met Mozart in 1777, when he came to Mannheim in search of a job.

The Weber family moved to Vienna in September 1779, still following Aloysia as she pursued her career at the German Opera there.Joseph Lange agreed to help support the family with an annual stipend of 700 florins when he married Aloysia, 31 October 1779. Cäcilia also made some income by taking in boarders.

It was in this way that Mozart re-entered the Webers' lives. In 1781 he settled in Vienna, hoping to pursue his career there, and on 1 or 2 May 1781 he became a boarder in their home (in a building called Zum Auge Gottes, "God's Eye").

Cäcilia asked Mozart to move out when she realized that he had fallen in love with Constanze, for the sake of propriety.

Mozart's relationship with his mother-in-law had a somewhat rocky start, as she did not get along well with Constanze.

Well, Mozart became fonder and fonder of our dear departed mother and she of him. Indeed he often came running along in great haste to the Wieden (where she and I were lodging at the Golden Plough), carrying under his arm a little bag containing coffee and sugar, which he would hand to our good mother, saying 'Here, mother dear, now you can have a little Jause [afternoon coffee].' She used to be delighted as a child. He did this very often.

Cäcilia died in Wieden near Vienna, Austria.

Not Final!

"Not Final!" is a science fiction short story by American writer Isaac Asimov, originally published in the October 1941 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, and included in the 1972 collection The Early Asimov. Its sequel, "Victory Unintentional", is a robot story. These are two of the few stories by Asimov to postulate non-human intelligences in the Solar system.

Plot summary

Earth colonists on Ganymede, the largest satellite of Jupiter, have discovered the existence of intelligent life on the planet's surface. They manage to establish communication with the Jovians by means of a "radio-click" code, and exchange scientific information. When the Jovians realise that the humans are not like them, they break off communication with a threat to destroy what they see as inferior beings.

Scientists on Ganymede realize that no possible Jovian ship could leave the surface without utilizing force-field technology, and experimentally determine that said technology cannot be made practical—therefore the Jovians will be unable to carry out their threat. Although the force field can be created, it cannot exist for more than a fraction of a second at the strength needed to contain Earth's air pressure, let alone Jupiter's. The scientist in charge, a brilliant theoretician, predicts this and then proves it with an experiment that ends in an explosion. Nicholas Orloff, the Colonial Commissioner (who had been on Ganymede to assess the threat) reports back to Earth that the danger that had been posed by the Jovians is ended.

Meanwhile, a ship is headed for Ganymede to pick up Orloff and return him to Earth. A conversation between the ship's Captain and a technician reveals that this ship utilizes force-field technology in an ingenious way which the scientists on Ganymede have not thought of. By trial and error the technician discovered that the field explodes, losing an arm and an eye in the process. However he has circumvented this by turning the field on and off at a high frequency, so it is never on long enough to explode, but is never off long enough to lose air.


Not Final!

The ending line, "I imagine he'll be rather pleased" [with the applicability of the new technology], is ironic since the reader knows that this is precisely the reverse of what we know Orloff's (and the rest of the human race's) reaction to the news will be, since this implies that the Jovians will eventually be able to overcome the technical difficulties and emerge from their planet to wage war on humanity.

The story illustrates a tension between the theoretical ("Scientific") attitude and the practical ("Technical") one, exemplified by the prominent scientist claiming that his theory shows the force-field technology to be impossible ("That's final! That's final!"), and mirrored by the technician's account of his methods, and by the story's title.

Development

"Not Final!" is one of Asimov's early short stories, written at the end of his third year writing stories for science fiction magazines.

After selling "Nightfall" in late April 1941, Asimov took a break from writing to study for qualifying examinations to enter the PhD program in chemistry at Columbia University. He failed the exams, and, very disheartened by this, did not return to writing until 24 May, when he began to work on "Not Final!". Asimov submitted "Not Final!" to John W. Campbell on 2 June, and it was accepted on 6 June, but without a bonus. It was published in the October 1941 issue of Astounding Science Fiction, and later included in the collection of his early short stories The Early Asimov (1972).

Asimov wrote a sequel, "Victory Unintentional", in 1942. These two stories are some of the few written by Asimov to include the idea of extra-terrestrial intelligence in our solar system.

Cäcilie (Strauss)

"Cäcilie", Op. 27 No. 2, is the second in a set of four songs composed by Richard Strauss in 1894.

The words are from a love poem "Cäcilie" written by Heinrich Hart (1855–1906), a German dramatic critic and journalist who also wrote poetry. It was written for the poet's wife Cäcilie.

History

Strauss composed the song at Marquartstein on 9 September 1894.Pauline de Ahna. All four of the Opus 27 songs, including Cäcilie were given as a wedding present to her.

Instrumentation and accompaniment

The song was originally written with piano accompaniment in the key of E major, but later orchestrated in his 'heroic' key of E♭. The instrumentation is: 2 flutes, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets in B♭, 2 bassoons, 4 horns in E♭, 2 trumpets in E♭, 3 trombones, tuba, 3 timpani, harp and the orchestral string section.

The tempo direction is "Sehr lebhaft und drängend".

Strauss, in his rich and lively orchestration, included parts for a solo string player from each section.

The change of key a semitone down from E to E♭ explains why, from bar 34 on the violas are asked to play the note B, a semitone below the lowest note normally possible on the instrument; and at this point Strauss asks half the violas to tune this string down a semitone.flute the note B, a semitone lower than its normal lowest note.

Wenn du es wüßtest,                         If you but knew, sweet,

Und kosend und plaudernd,                   caressing and chatting,
Wenn du es wüßtest,                         could I but tell you,
Du neigtest dein Herz!                      your heart would assent.

Wenn du es wüßtest,                         If you but knew, sweet,
Was bangen heißt in einsamen Nächten,       the anguish of waking thro' nights long and lonely
Umschauert vom Sturm, da niemand tröstet    and rocked by the storm when no-one is near
Milden Mundes die kampfmüde Seele,          to soothe and comfort the strife weary spirit.
Wenn du es wüßtest,                         Could I but tell you,
Du kämest                                   you’d come, sweet, to me.

Wenn du es wüßtest,                         If you but knew, sweet,
Was leben heißt, umhaucht von der Gottheit  what living is, in the creative breath of
weltschaffendem Atem,                       God, Lord and Maker
Zu schweben empor, lichtgetragen,           to hover, upborne on dove-like pinions
Zu seligen Höhn,                            to regions of light,
Wenn du es wüßtest, wenn du es wüßtest,     if you but knew it, could I but tell you,
Du lebtest mit mir.                         you’d dwell, sweet, with me.

Nothin' Fancy

Nothin' Fancybluegrass band based in Buena Vista, Virginia and was formed in September 1994. Its "parent band"Crimora, Virginia.

History

East Coast Bluegrass Band

The East Coast Bluegrass Band was the predecessor to Nothin' Fancy formed in 1985. It was formed to compete in the East Coast Bluegrass Championship in Crimora, Virginia.bluegrass bands of the 1940s and 1950s.

Nothin' Fancy and East Coast Bluegrass Band continued to coexist until 2000 when East Coast Bluegrass Band's members drifted apart and had to reorganize.

Notable Changes

Chris Sexton, who had appeared with Nothin' Fancy for their first-place victory in the band competition at the Maury River Fiddler's Convention in 1998 and recorded as a guest fiddler on the band's second and third releases ("Earn Your Ticket" and "Field of Dreams," respectively), officially became the newest member of Nothin' Fancy in 2000. The fourth project, Now and Then is the first album to feature the five-piece group as it is today.

Shorter departed from the group in 2005, and was replaced by Eli Johnston of Branson, MO. Nothin' Fancy released "Album No. 7" under Pinecastle with Johnston and featured him as the lead vocal on the song "Tupelo County Jail," but Johnston only stayed with the group for 13 months. Citing artistic differences, he left the group and joined the band Pine Mountain Railroad. Nothin' Fancy's members called Shorter back into service in time for the 6th Annual Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival. Shorter, who at the time was playing bass for country star Keith Bryant, happily agreed and the band was re-united with its original cast and has stayed as such since.

Gary Farris, the guitar player, also departed the group in July 2012 and was replaced by Justin Tomlin.

In 2019, founding member Mitchell Davis announced that he would be leaving the band. Following his departure, the band announced in March of that year that it had signed on Jacob Flick to take up Davis' role on the banjo.


Nothin' Fancy

In June 2021, it was announced that Jacobe "Jake" Lauzon would be joining the band to play guitar and provide vocals. Jake, originally from Ontario, Canada, was a welcome addition to the group, having been was recognized as the Bluegrass Guitar Player of the Year in 2018 and 2019 at the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards.

In September 2022, it was announced that Jake Lauzon would be departing from the band to pursue new musical interests after playing one final set at the 20th Nothin' Fancy Festival.

In December 2022, the band announced that it had found its new guitar player, Curt Gausman. Curt, who got his bluegrass start in the 1980s, was part of Hobbs and Partners, which was led by Arnold Hobbs. The group also included John Paganoni, John’s son Chris (who filled in as a substitute with Nothin’ Fancy on more than one occasion), and Mark Delaney. From his work with Hobbs, he later formed the Hazel River Band, which he led through 1996 and recorded two albums with the Hay Holler label.

Recordings

East Coast Bluegrass Band released four self-produced albums. They then contracted Tim Austin of Doobie Shea Studios to produce and record the project. Recording began in February 1996. Later that spring, lightning struck and destroyed the studio and all the recorded sessions. Once it was up and running again they were one of the first acts to record in the new studio.Life's Mysteries on Copper Creek Records.

The group, now appearing as Nothin' Fancy, was approached by Pinecastle Records and signed to the label in 2002. They recorded their fifth project, "Once Upon a Road" with the title song written for the band by Tom T. Hall and his wife Dixie. "Once Upon a Road" rose to number 10 on the Bluegrass Charts as posted by Bluegrass Unlimited. Their bluegrass gospel song "When the Angels Take My Hand" rose to the Number 1 spot on the Bluegrass Gospel charts as posted by (the now-defunct) Bluegrass Now magazine. The album also earned them a showcase at the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Convention in October 2002 and a nomination for the IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year Award.


Nothin' Fancy

Their sixth album, "Reflections," was a much more personal album, with Andes penning 10 of the 13 songs. It featured the novelty single "I Met My Baby in the Porta-John Line" as a bonus track, also by Andes. "Reflections" was not as commercially successful as "Once Upon a Road," but it was from these two albums and the performances from this period that Nothin' Fancy had found its highly unique voice, which paid homage to bands such as the Country Gentlemen and the Seldom Scene. The late Charlie Waller, a founding member of the Country Gentlemen who went on to lead that group until his death in 2004, met with Andes at the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America annual convention and learned the song "Heaven Got an Angel" from Andes (that was recorded originally on "Field of Dreams") and recorded it on the Country Gentlemen album "Cryin' in the Chapel."

Their eighth album, Lord Bless This House, the first all-gospel recording for the group, was officially released January 27, 2009 through Pinecastle. Co-produced by Grammy-nominated bluegrass artist Rhonda Vincent and her brother Darrin Vincent (of Dailey and Vincent fame) with guest appearances from the both of them, it is frequently played on Sirius XM Radio's Bluegrass Junction station, along with other selections from their discography.

Undeniable is the group's 16th studio recording, released in 2019 to celebrate their 25th year together. The album includes all-original songwriting by Mike Andes, Caleb Cox, and Chris Sexton. It features Mike Andes (mandolin, lead/harmony vocals), Chris Sexton (fiddle, harmony vocals), Caleb Cox (guitar, lead/harmony vocals), James Cox (bass), and Jacob Flick (banjo). Cello, viola, and string arrangements on “Here’s To My Life” were provided by Chris Sexton. The album was recorded, mixed, and mastered at Mountain Fever Studios in Willis, Virginia and released by Mountain Fever Records.

Performance


Nothin' Fancy

Performance

East Coast Bluegrass Band paid their dues at lawn parties and bars in and around the Harrisonburg, Virginia area and the Charlottesville, Virginia area for many years. In years since, the band, as Nothin' Fancy, has played the Grand Ole Opry at the historic Ryman Auditorium in Nashville,Rhonda Vincent & Nothin' Fancy".Lincoln Center in New York City, and The Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. Nothin' Fancy plays about 140 shows a year and is a staple on the bluegrass festival circuit.Royal Caribbean and Carnival cruises.Ontario, Canada, and the band toured as part of the 2012 Bluegrass Sundays Winter Concert series organized by the Northern Bluegrass Committee in Scarborough, Ontario.

Musical style and sound

The band seeks to remain "true to the traditional sounds of the great bluegrass bands of the 1940s and '50s",Bill Monroe, Ralph Stanley, the Country Gentlemen, and the Seldom Scene; but song selection ranges from original material to gospel classics to covers of pop artists such as Bob Seger, Bruce Springsteen, Bill Withers, Bob Dylan, and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

In live performance Nothin' Fancy has been noted for its strong vocals, four-part arrangements, and its high-energy shows well-seasoned with humor. The quintet's early years saw the band gathering around one microphone, employing a shell-game choreography for solos and back-up which keeps the show visually active as well as aurally pleasing, although the most recent configuration is more traditional with individual microphones for instruments and vocals. Andes' clear singing style is attributed to the unique stylings of Charlie Waller, whose earthy bass-baritone voice sang with clear enunciation. Farris sings a bold tenor harmony remarkable for its projection; his powerful delivery has been likened to the late John Duffey of the Seldom Scene. Shorter occasionally sings baritone harmonies an octave higher, while Davis sings bass vocals, more on gospel songs. In later recordings, Davis gave up singing bass and allowed Sexton to sing bass on gospel songs

Nothin' Fancy Bluegrass Festival

In 2001, a Rockbridge County entrepreneur, Morris O'Shields, created a bluegrass festival at the Glen Maury Park, the site of the Maury River Fiddler's Convention where Nothin' Fancy won its victory three years before. The festival was named for Nothin' Fancy, who have served as the host act in years since.


Nothin' Fancy

The so-named festival has become a much-loved annual event that brings scores of bluegrass fans to the Shenandoah Valley and to the little town of Buena Vista, VA, where Farris calls home (and from which the band operates). Held each year at the Glen Maury Park in Buena Vista, Virginia, the festival has perennially played host to major bluegrass bands. The 2008 festival, for example, included such names as Rhonda Vincent, Michelle Nixon, Blue Mountain Sunrise, The Deer Creek Boys, Randy Waller & the Country Gentlemen, Blue Moon Rising, and the Gary Waldrep Band.IIIrd Tyme Out, the Lonesome River Band, Missy Raines, Marty Raybon, The Dillards, the Lewis Family, Goldwing Express, Larry Stephenson, Mark Newton, Doyle Lawson, and Charlie Sizemore.

Everychild Foundation

The Everychild Foundation is a private philanthropic foundation based in Pacific Palisades, California. It awards a single grant of up to $1 million each year to a non-profit organization within Los Angeles County that helps children affected by disease, abuse, neglect, poverty or disability by launching or expanding a new innovative, replicable project . The Foundation has awarded more than $19 million in grants that served over 1 million Los Angeles children. The idea is to leverage the grant dollars in order to have a wider impact with replication.

The Foundation was started in 1999 by Jacqueline Jacobs Caster. It relies on member dues to fund grants; Everychild members make a tax-deductible contribution. There are no fund raising events or paid staff, and low overhead.

History

Caster was dissatisfied with the use of charity events to raise their funds. The production of these events can consume large amounts of time and money while yielding relatively small returns. According to the National Center for Charitable Statistics at the Urban Institute, of the 102,353 public charities reporting special fund-raising events in 2005, the average return was slightly less than 40 cents on the dollar with $5.92 billion in total production costs and a net of $3.9 billion.

Caster, a lawyer and urban planner, launched the foundation on a different model. It began with a membership of 56 women. In 2001, it issued its first grant for $230,000healthcare provider serving the indigent, and staffed by the USC School of Dentistry. By 2007, with 225 members, the Foundation issued its first $1 million grant, an amount which has been repeated every year since. In 2019, the group began awarding $100,000 to the runner-up candidate for the annual grant.

Model

The Everychild Foundation is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Its intends to alleviate youth suffering in the Los Angeles metropolitan area by fulfilling needs of children that are unmet because of disease, disability, abuse, neglect or poverty.


Everychild Foundation

All funds of the Everychild Foundation are derived from its members who each commit $6,000 annually (increased from $5,000 in 2019 in order to fund a runner-up grant and adjust for 20 years of cost of living increases) to the Foundation. The membership has very low annual attrition rate (roughly 5%). Recruitment is primarily through word of mouth and small, member-hosted breakfasts.

The primary work of the Foundation is the identification and screening of potential grantees and oversight once a grant is awarded. The Grant Screening Board is made up of 20 Everychild members who spend the year reviewing proposals and ultimately selecting two finalists. The process includes review of documents provided by the grant applicant, site visits, and analysis of the need for and viability of the proposed project and its budget. To prevent an entrenched group controlling the Foundation's grant process, committee terms are for three years and are staggered for continuity. The entire membership of the 200+ women vote on the final selection of the winner of the $1 million annual grant. However, in 2020 and 2021, the foundation has instead divided the $1 million to award multiple emergency operating grants to worthy agencies whose donations have decreased and demand for their services has exploded as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Foundation has two other major operating committees. The Grant Outreach Committee is responsible for contacting agencies that may have a proposal that is eligible for the Everychild grant. If an agency appears eligible, committee members work with it to help it prepare Letters of Inquiry, the first stage of the grant application process. Membership on this committee is limited to those who have already served on the Grant Screening Board.

The Grant Monitoring Committee is responsible for monitoring the post-award status of funded projects. Under the terms of the grant agreement with recipient agencies, members of this committee visit the project site twice a year to assure that it is being implemented appropriately.

There have been more than 30 spin off groups in the United States and Great Britain based upon the Everychild Foundation model.

Everychild Foundation

Other activities

In recent years, the Everychild Foundation, through its policy committee, has become involved in policy issues in three major areas: support for infants and toddlers ages 0 to 3; advocacy for children aging out of the foster care system at age 18; and reform of the juvenile justice system. Activities include support for legislation in these areas and collaboration with other groups and agencies in efforts in these areas.

The Foundation also holds Salons throughout the year for experts and interested members to discuss children’s issues in depth. These Salons have recently addressed the topics of autism, childhood asthma, and public education. Salon speakers have included former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Conner and Representative Henry Waxman among others.

Etymology

The name Jala—place where there is a lot of sand—is derived from the Nahuatl word xali, which means sand, and the variant tla, which means place with an abundance of.

Geography

The municipality of Jala is located in the southern part of the state of Nayarit; between parallels 21° 5’ and 21° 20’ latitude north and meridians 104° 18’ and 104° 31’ longitude west. It is bounded in the north by the municipalities of Santa María del Oro and La Yesca; in the south by the municipalities of Ahuacatlán and Ixtlán del Río; in the east with Ixtlán del Río and in the west with Santa María del Oro.

There are sugarcane mills, sawmills, brickworks, furniture factories, a packing plant for peaches, and several small transformation industries.

Tourist sites

The main site of touristic interest is Ceboruco volcano. It is reached by an 18-km stone-covered road from the main highway. The crater is a 3-km walk up a path from the end of the road.


Jala, Nayarit

Ceboruco last erupted from 1870 until 1872 to produce a large flank flow of andesite. According to researchers, in prehistoric times Ceborucco had at least 2 very large eruptions that produced 2 concentric calderas. Ceborucco rises about 1000 m above its base and has a summit elevation of 2,164 metres (7,100 ft). The original volcano was mostly made up of thin andesite lava flows and pyroclastic layers. Since the calderas formed, however, the flows have tended to be thick. See photos at .

There is also an excavation area of an archeological site of a temple and burial grounds thought to date to 700 AD, nearby; one of the few round-based pyramids found in Mexico. Another is just SE of the town of Tequila, and known as Guachimontones.
