Good Music Lull

I know I’ve been out of the country a lot lately, but I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a single album of note that’s been released in the past two months.

Quick, prove me wrong.

Sentence of the Day (not quite)

From a USIP Special Report titled Securing the Future:

At a minimum, the security sector includes actors directly involved in protecting civilians and the state from violent harm (e.g., police and military forces and internal intelligence agencies), institutions that govern these actors (e.g., ministries of interior, defense, and justice; and national security councils), and oversight bodies.”

Can you figure out why this is such a great sentence?
