The Cosby Saga, Pt 4: June 15, 2017 The Jury Deadlock Excerpt: "NORRISTOWN, Pa. — The jury in the Bill Cosby sexual assault trial is still at an impasse — after some 40 hours of deliberations over four days — but they're returning Friday for a fifth day of trying to reach a unanimous verdict. Judge Steven O'Neill sent the seven men and five women of the jury, clearly fatigued, back to the hotel for the night around 9 p.m.; they will return Friday at 9 a.m. to try again. “Nine o’clock  is long enough to be debating for this day,” O’Neill said, as he sent the jurors off. Then, curiously, the judge and the attorneys had a private meeting. After a few minutes, they and the  jury returned to the courtroom. Many of the jurors were frowning. The judge addressed the panel, saying he did not want to “intrude on deliberations,” but "if there is anything you need me to know, you will let the court know....I just want to be clear where we are right now.” O’Neill, like the jury, appeared tired from another 12-hour day." https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/06/15/bill-cosby-trial-day-9-anxiety-outside-jury-room-both-sides-wait/102877226/# Excerpt: "After 30-plus hours of deliberation, jurors in the Bill Cosby criminal sexual assault trial have been instructed by the judge to try again after telling him Thursday morning that they are deadlocked. In other words, they cannot come to an agreement on a verdict. And in Cosby's case, jurors told Judge Steven O'Neill at Montgomery County Courthouse in Norristown, Pa., that they “cannot come to a unanimous consensus on any of the counts.” Cosby is charged with three counts of aggravated indecent assault in connection with a 2004 encounter with Andrea Constand. Shortly after reconvening the court upon receiving the jury's news early Thursday, O'Neill directed them to try again. The news about the deadlock, or lack of consensus, was predicted by some experts as deliberations extended for days. However, observers also are not surprised by the judge's latest directions. https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/people/2017/06/15/bill-cosby-trial-what-does-deadlock-mean-whats-next/102888090/# For the full narrative, links and videos please check out my blog Nana's Rants On Things From A-Z http://nanas-rants.blogspot.com This video: https://youtu.be/Rh8RysvzDvk Music: Clear Vision-Rain Support My Work, it would be greatly appreciated.

"Voices Of Africa" performs an original selection called the Market Place, in Clinton, MD at VernonicaLynne's Annual Birthday Party. In this piece we play the Agogo Bell (double-headed iron bell). The bell acts as the metronome in the music, it keeps the timing and is especially important as a reference for the other musicians. Anyone playing the bell must be an accomplished percussionist, that is keenly aware of the timing and able to maintain it throughout. The bells can be heard in the hearts of the trees and the soul of the wind. They are beautiful. It is also important to be conscientious of the tones. Each bell has its own high tone and low tone. When composing our music we listen very carefully to how the "voice" of each bell blends with the other. We focus on high, mid and low tones to create the beautiful melodies you hear in this music. We are available for performances as well as workshops, we can teach you how to play this music.
