Watch Cyril Neville Join Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue On “Fire On The Bayou” At ‘ACL’ [Video]
In September, ten-piece jazz ensemble Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue played a special performance for live music television program Austin City Limits. The episode recently aired over the weekend on PBS, highlighted by music icon Cyril Neville joining the “Voodoo Threauxdown” for a cover of the The Meters’ “Fire On The Bayou”.Clad in a white, silky jacket, and a tambourine in hand, Neville stepped to the front of the stage as he led the funksters through a high-energy take on the classic, before Troy Andrews aka Trombone Shorty stepped forward to add in a duet on vocals. Neville moved around the stage with ease and swagger at the ripe age of 70, before Andrews stole the show with a roaring horn solo.

Sheldon Foundation), new and improved toilets (made possible through a grant from the Lenna Foundation), and a new “Lost Words” exhibit.Starting Sept. 5, the restrooms, Blue Heron Gift Shop, Discovery Room, and other first floor exhibit spaces (with some COVID-19-related modifications) will be open. The indoor nature play area on the third floor will be available by reservation only to help limit contact between family groups. Audubon Executive Director Leigh Rovegno said of the reopening, “Because access to the exhibits will be limited to the first floor, we feel it’s important to adjust our typical building admission prices. Until we are able to open up more of the building to daily visitors, admission will be ‘by donation’ only. We hope that our visitors appreciate this gesture, but also understand that we will continue to have building-related expenses, including general utilities and cleaning costs which are necessary to provide a safe and enjoyable visitor experience.”The Nature Center’s building hours are 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Saturday, closed on Sunday. Visitors are required to wear face coverings while inside the building and to adhere to social distancing recommendations.Audubon Community Nature Center is located at 1600 Riverside Road, one-quarter mile east of Route 62 between Jamestown, N.Y., and Warren, Pa.To learn more, call (716) 569-2345 during open hours, visit AudubonCNC.org.

Armenia’s Constitutional Court has ruled elements of the country’s controversial mandatory pension system, but not the law itself, unconstitutional.At the beginning of this year, Armenia launched a mandatory pension system requiring all persons under the age of 40 to contribute 5-10% of their salary to one of the pension funds managed by external asset managers, which had been selected by the Armenian central bank and government.However, the reform caused wide-spread protests and was criticised by opposition parties, which challenged the system with the constitutional court.Arman Vardanyan, chief executive of Austrian asset manager C-Quadrat’s Armenian business, told IPE that the court ruling meant that that implementation of the law had now been deemed “unconstitutional”. C-Quadrat, a subsidiary of German insurer Talanx, is one of the two foreign asset managers commissioned to manage pension funds in Armenia. Vardanyan’s interpretation was confirmed by the Armenian justice minister, as quoted on Armenian news portal tert.am: “The Constitutional Court ruled that certain provisions of the law on funded pensions are unconstitutional – It did not rule the law itself unconstitutional.”The Constitutional Court has declared the law will have to be amended to make it constitutional by 30 September.A spokeswoman for the Armenian central bank told IPE: “Some of the disputed articles of the law (and the relevant ones in the interconnected laws) must be brought in line with the Constitution and the deadline for this is September 30, 2014.”But the law will remain in place, she added.Tert.am further quoted Felix Tokhyan, a member of the Constitutional Court: “The provisions of the pension law declared unconstitutional will remain in effect until September 30.”“Since the pension law remains in force with all of its provisions, the mandatory payments shall continue to be made,” confirmed Vardanyan.

The GCTA Law has come under scrutinyafter the Department of Justice announced that convicted rapist-killer AntonioSanchez, former mayor of Calauan, Laguna, might be released from prison becauseof supposed good behavior. Nationwide, 1,914 convicts werereleased by BuCor applying the GCTA Law./PN In Camp Crame, Quezon City, PhilippineNational Police (PNP) spokesperson, Brigadier General Bernard Banac said themanhunt will be done with or without a reward, “though a reward may be helpfulto entice possible informants. Law enforcers may employ “reasonableforce if the subject of the arrest violently resists and endangers the securityof the arresting officers,” Justice secretary Menardo Guevarra earlier said. ILOILO City – Of the 144 convictsfrom Western Visayas that the Bureau of Corrections (BuCor) freed in line withthe Good Conduct Time Allowance (GCTA) Law, 62 managed to beat the 15-dayultimatum set by President Rodrigo Duterte.
