Thank you. As previously mentioned I take inspiration from the likes of Janis Joplin, Nina Simone and Melody Gardot. For me it doesn’t have to sound perfect – the most important thing is what you are saying and performing is real and honest. Any vocal changes that happen in the meantime I don’t mind, because it tells a...
You’ve released your new single via QM records based in Brighton, has it been easier for you to promote the single and your band this way rather than doing it all off your own backs?
They’ve helped us so much – not only with the music but with all aspects such as promotion, photos and so many other things. They’ve been a great support system, especially because we’re a new band. They have taught us what we need to know because they’ve been through it all themselves before.
When and where can we expect to see you play next?
I’m in Holland currently so the band is taking a break. We’re still writing and working on new material and ideas, so keep an eye out for later on this year when everyone is back together.

Hungarian food is the twist at this restaurant-bar in Deep Ellum, where chicken paprikash served over spaetzle sits side by side with craft beer and cocktails such as the Stagger Lee, with fernet branca, cynar, lemon syrup, and acid phosphate, that are anything but humdrum. Exposed brick and a vintage decor fit the nei...
Craft beer rules at this brewpub founded by Andrew Huerter (Deep Ellum Brewing Co.), Sam Wynne (Flying Saucer), and Jeff Fryman (Common Table). Avant-garde lineup of brews is accompanied by a down-home menu from chef David Pena with burgers, chili, and queso.
This bar is getting raves for its spicy fried chicken, served in 3-piece, 6-piece, and 10-piece bucket options, plus chicken tenders, and chicken & waffles. Homey sides include deviled eggs, poblano potato salad, jalapeno biscuits and gravy, Mexican corn, and more, all priced between $3 and $5.
Look for a dual personality here: It's a cafe during the day and a place to salsa dance at night and on the weekends. Menu includes Puerto Rican-inspired dumplings, made with mashed plantains and topped with shrimp mojo. A well-stocked pastry case features house-made treats such as brownies, cookies, and individual Key...
Chicago-style hot dog restaurant revolved around chef Brian Luscher's Post Oak Red Hots line of sausages, such as the Polish kielbasa with grilled onions, mustard, and sport peppers in a poppy-seed bun. There's also an Italian beef sandwich, cheeseburger, chili, and notable sides such as onion rings and hand-cut fries...
Unusual restaurant-bar has a strange Alice-in-Wonderland vibe, with ornate decor, fussy cocktails, and a big menu of bar snacks, from charred okra to chicken wings to beef satay to thick yucca fries.

Rising rates of diabetes, much of it linked to lifestyle, could see 39,000 extra heart attacks by 2035, putting further strain on our creaking National Health Service and the economy as a whole.
Given all the pressing issues in modern-day Scotland – the independence question, Brexit, poverty, the lacklustre economy – it can be sometimes hard to for politicians to consider the bigger picture, our long-term future.
But one that must command their attention is the growing size of our waistbands. Put that way, it sounds trivial, almost laughable. But it is not. The National Health Service is already in trouble as our rising demands on its excellent care ramp up the pressure on doctors and nurses.
Both the Scottish and UK Governments have responded to the situation by increasing health budgets. This may prove to be an effective strategy, but only in the short-term.
That’s because the problem is largely down to us. As a nation, we are increasingly sedentary and this, combined with high-calorie diets stuffed full of fat and sugar, means we are becoming ever more over-weight and obese, increasing the rates of diseases like diabetes 2.
The current cost of treating diabetes is estimated at £10 billion, with a further £6bn spent on treating obesity. That’s more than 10 per cent of the entire amount spent on health in the UK. But diabetes also means people have a greater chance of having a heart attack or a stroke. According to the British Heart Foundat...
Eventually, the NHS will not be able to cope, the economy as a whole will not be able to cope. So, somehow, we simply must change. We must find a way to stop the rise and start reducing levels of obesity. There is no other option. If we can do this, we will be healthier, wealthier and, indeed, happier, so it is, in mod...
We should start early, perhaps even in nursery schools, to encourage an active lifestyle. Exercise should be a daily routine in primary and secondary schools. Every child should be taught how to cook healthy, good-tasting food. Companies need to encourage their staff to be active, as many firms do in the Far East.
And all of us, individually, should take a look at our bodies in the mirror and think of ways we could perhaps be a little more active than we currently are. It could be as simple as walking to the shops, but we all must do something, because at the moment, regardless of how Brexit goes, our future looks bleak.
Following Nikki Haley’s crime in the UNSC of threatening to attack Syria even without the Council’s permission, the US dragged the UK and France to commit the crime of attacking Syria under the justification of an alleged chemical attack in Douma. The terrorist sponsored “White Helmet” produced a clearly staged video o...
To vindicate itself Syria had invited in and guaranteed a safe passage to inspectors of the Organization for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) to investigate the allegation. Trump’s administration, knowing very well that the alleged chemical attack is fake, and without waiting for the results of the OPCW’s ins...
In an apparent attempt to blackmail Saudi Arabia, Trump announced last week that he will withdraw the American troops from Syria. He also indicated that if Saudi Arabia wants the US to attack Syria they have to pay for the attack. Trump had just announced insultingly that the American forces are just mercenaries for hi...
An American military armada was shipped to the Middle Eastern region, and with the American presence in its bases in some Gulf Arab States and in the Red Sea, an attack on Syrian targets was perpetrated during the early hours of Friday 13th. It was estimated that more than 110 Tomahawk missiles were fired in an attempt...
The rest of the missiles hit vacated facilities that had been previously bombed by Israeli forces. Israel had provided the coordinates of these facilities to the American forces. The attack, despite what tripartite had stated and Trump’s empty “mission accomplished” statement, was an utter military failure that had acc...
Russia was so confident of the effectiveness of the Syrian defensive missile system that the Russian forces sat watching idly without any interference as they had warned earlier.
This criminal attack came under the justification of protecting the Syrian civilians from suffering any further chemical attack. The question that poses itself here is: how does the bombing of the chemical stockpiles and the resulting dispersion of these chemicals in the air would protect civilians? Did the American mi...
One would have doubts whether the American military had carefully thought through this attack, especially when there were reports of opposing opinions in the Pentagon. What are the real goals of the attack? Definitely it was not the alleged destruction of the chemical weapons since there was no precaution about the dis...
It is very well documented that with the cooperation of other countries these three; US, UK and France, had been the major supporters of the terrorist groups attacking Syria. It has been observed that every time the Syrian forces gain an upper hand over the terrorist, an allegation of a chemical attack surfaces. These ...
One may think that this aggression had come because the US found itself out of any political negotiation concerning the future of Syria and wanted to force its presence. Such an attempt had failed since the attack had succeeded only in alienating the US further. This aggression had served only to demonstrate that the A...
Russia was so confident of the effectiveness of the Syrian defensive missile system that the Russian forces sat watching idly without any interference as they had warned earlier. Besides, Russia is now supplying Syria with its latest very powerful defensive missile systems including S-300 and S-400 and more advanced mi...
If the intent of such an attack was to intimidate the Syrians into submission fearing American reprisals, as the US is accustomed in doing to some UNSC member states, then this goal had also failed, and succeeded only in boosting the morale of the Syrian population and strengthening their trust and support to Al-Assad ...
Previous American and Israeli attacks aimed at strengthening terrorist positions and boosting the morale of what is called Syrian opposition. This attack resulted the exact opposite. The Syrian opposition leaders had already expressed their disappointment of such a frail attack that resulted virtually into nothing tang...
Severe disappointment has also hit the hearts of Israeli leaders, the AIPAC; American Israeli lobby, and some Persian Gulf Arab states especially Saudi Arabia, who were pushing for the bombing of Syrian vital targets including Syrian air bases, ministry of defense, military bases, and even the presidential palace. Alth...
Recognizing their military failure US, UK and France went back to the UNSC demanding the Council to issue resolutions to condemn the chemical use in Syria, to form an independent investigation to determine responsibility of chemical attacks, to demand a permanent seize fire and to allow unrestricted shipments of humani...
This tripartite criminal aggression, and the failure of the UNSC to condemn it, clearly exposes the criminality of the Western countries, and their utter disregard to any international law and to human lives. The complicity for this crime by the UNSC member countries make them partners to the crime, regardless whether ...
The long histories of these three countries clearly demonstrate their contempt to all international laws and their disregard to international organizations. During the last two decades they had created and armed terrorist groups to lead their own proxy wars around the world, then under the claim of fighting terrorists ...

What Is Casual Resort Dressing?
There are few mysteries that even approach that of life -- where it comes from, how it replicates -- in their greatness. What could be more basic, more beautiful, and more awe-inducing than the double helix, those interlocking, winding strands that give way to all life, that we can now see an image of for the first tim...
But of course we knew what DNA looked like before we could see it so directly with an electron microscope as in the top photo, which was released this week.
Although in that image it might appear that you are seeing a little snippet of DNA, the X-ray crystallography technique that Franklin used does not, as an electron microscope does, show an image of what you would see with a naked eye if only you could see something so small. Rather, as NOVA explained in a 2003 special ...
Unfortunately, this story is not just one of a happy discovery but of the human drama that always trails along. Watson saw the image without Franklin's permission, and in the years that followed, he made disparaging remarks about her appearance and demeanor. Whereas Watson and Crick went on to receive the Nobel prize, ...
In recent years, an ongoing debate has taken shape about just how to apportion the credit for this monumental discovery -- how to honor the woman who took this picture, and whose work has been so overshadowed by the giant figures of Watson and Crick. The controversy is, in some ways, sadly fitting: As we looked for the...
The global economic slowdown has been accompanied by some pretty horrific real estate stories. From Dublin to Madrid to Dubai house prices have crashed, leaving investors spooked. So is investing in property still viable? If so, where are the next property hot spots? Laura Baines and guests discuss.
A look at the railroad crossing at US 90 and Cravens Road after a crash between an 18-wheeeler and an Amtrak train on Sept. 21, 2018.
MISSOURI CITY, Texas - A tractor-trailer and an Amtrak train collided Friday at a railroad crossing in Missouri City.
The crash was reported around 1:35 p.m. at the intersection of Cravens Road and U.S. 90.
Channel 2 Investigates has been looking into other crashes at this intersection and our investigative team found some startling information.
According to the Federal Railroad Administration's Office of Safety Analysis, there has been an accident at this railroad crossing -- U.S. 90 and Cravens Road in Missouri City -- every year since 2014.
Lufthansa CEO Sees "Manageable" Brexit Impact -- So Why Did American Air Shares Fall 11%?
Lufthansa CEO Carsten Spohr says Brexit will have a "manageable" impact on Lufthansa. Nevertheless, shares in American, Delta and United, the U.S. carriers that serve the UK, fell sharply on Friday.
Despite leading the charge against Gulf subsidies, American Airlines operates a transatlantic joint-venture with one of the Gulf carriers' most vocal supporters: British Airways. It may become difficult to keep up appearances as Qatar Airways wields increasing control over UK aviation through its stakes in BA's parent ...
Lufthansa Beats The Merger Drum, But Are Europe's Airlines Ripe For Consolidation?
Lufthansa's call for consolidation in the European aviation sector makes perfect business sense. But cross-border tie-ups between culturally-diverse, nationally-aligned airlines will be much tougher than in America.
Attorneys for The University of North Carolina responded late Friday to a threatened federal lawsuit from students over “Silent Sam” – a Confederate monument on the Chapel Hill campus.
The university’s response suggests students claiming that the monument creates a racially hostile learning environment take their complaint to the Equal Opportunity and Compliance Office at UNC-Chapel Hill but says the university disagrees that they have a valid Civil Rights claim under Titles IV and VI.
“While we understand that UNC may not have unilateral authority to move Silent Sam, we do expect Chancellor Folt, as the leading representative of our UNC community, to vigorously advocate for the removal of Silent Sam and publicly acknowledge the statue’s connection to both white supremacy and racism. Every day that s...
The latest example of Chancellor Folt’s failure regarding Silent Sam is the fact that UNC did not petition the N.C. Historical Commission, prior to tomorrow’s meeting, for permission to remove Silent Sam from campus.UNC could have petitioned the Historical Commission, and should have done so. And Chancellor Folt should...
An Army general has upheld Private Chelsea Manning's conviction and 35-year prison sentence for giving reams of classified U.S. government information to the anti-secrecy website WikiLeaks, the Army said Monday.
The approval by Maj. Gen. Jeffery S. Buchanan, commander of the Military District of Washington, clears the way for an automatic appeal of the case to the Army Court of Criminal Appeals. Manning's appellate lawyers said Sunday that they expect their appeal to focus on issues including alleged misuse of the Espiona...
The 26-year-old native of Crescent, Okla., was sentenced in August for six Espionage Act violations and 14 other offenses for leaking more than 700,000 secret military and State Department documents, plus some battlefield video, while serving in Iraq in 2009 and 2010. Buchanan, as commander of the jurisdiction in which...
Manning is serving her sentence at Fort Leavenworth, Kan.
Military prosecutors at Manning's trial last summer called the former intelligence analyst an anarchist hacker and traitor who indiscriminately leaked information she had sworn to protect, knowing it would be seen by al-Qaida. It was among the largest leaks of classified information in U.S. history.
Manning, then known as Bradley Manning, was convicted in July of 20 crimes but acquitted of the most serious charge, aiding the enemy. After sentencing, Manning declared a desire to live as a woman named Chelsea, having been diagnosed with gender dysphoria.
With good behavior, Manning could be released as early as February 2020, according to her trial attorney, David Coombs.
If you want a fresh turkey this Christmas – buy frozen!
Time is being called on frozen turkey snobbery as it is revealed that so-called fresh turkeys have often been ‘deep chilled’ for over a week and in some cases up to a month, before even hitting supermarket shelves.
As most of us will buy our turkeys a few days in advance of the big day, this means that often we are serving up a bird which has been in storage for more than ten days. Frozen turkeys, in comparison, are flash frozen immediately and then preserved in our freezers before being cooked, using ‘nature’s pause button’ to s...
The revelation comes as Iceland’s frozen turkey priced at £26 is crowned as the winner in the Good Housekeeping Christmas taste test – beating versions costing up to £95 from luxury farm shops. These same farm shops, known for supplying royalty with their festive centrepieces, make no secret of the fact that they offer...
Not only does a frozen turkey mean a fresher turkey, but it also offers the guarantee of a turkey well ahead of time. Each of the ‘big four’ supermarkets is offering fresh turkeys from the 20th December – at which point millions of consumers will rush out to stores for a bird which expires on Boxing Day.
Nigel Broadhurst, Managing Director at Iceland said: “It’s a well-known industry fact that the majority of ‘fresh’ turkeys that hit our shelves just before Christmas have in fact been in cold stores for weeks. It would just be impossible for millions of truly fresh birds to suddenly appear on shelves on the same date!
Finally, the economies of frozen mean that we are getting much better value when selecting a turkey from the frozen aisle. Shoppers can pick up a large frozen festive bird for just £13 from Iceland, compared to £23 for the same size fresh turkey at Waitrose. If they opt for an entirely frozen Christmas dinner, they can...
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu, who served as President George H.W. Bush's chief of staff, Monday recalled the late president as a person who created a team that "really respected and liked each other," and as a man who set a "great example to anybody who aspires to public life."
"He was a great boss," Sununu told Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "We talked dozens of times a day. He ran the White House that way that whenever there was an issue I needed to go see him I just went in and talked to him and got an answer and then moved whatever he wanted forward."
Bush was also willing to make decisions quickly, but that does not mean he made them without thought, Sununu said.
"He let his staff present both sides of the issue," Sununu said. "He let us argue amongst ourselves and then he made a decision, and he really created a staff that liked each other. I think the hallmark of the Bush 41 White House was that we had a team in there that really respected and liked each other."
The four years Bush was in office were busy ones, the former chief of staff said, as the team was working on many things simultaneously, including the collapse of the Soviet Union, dealing with Saddam Hussein and Panama. In addition, several pieces of domestic legislation were passed including the Clean Air Bill and th...
"The president was very capable of managing all of that, and my job was the try to keep everything together and keep things going, and he made it extremely easy for me," Sununu said.
Still, everyone underestimates the difficulty of the collapse of the Soviet Union, Sununu said.
"His art form was dealing with people in a way that respected their views but got them to come to the right conclusion and move things forward," Sununu said.
Former New Hampshire Gov. John Sununu recalled former President George H.W. Bush as a person who created a team that "really respected and liked each other," and a man who set a "great example to anybody who aspires to public life."
PhotoPoint.com says customers who want their photos returned to them can have their accounts burned to a CD for about $25--drawing harsh criticism from some members.
An online photo site that shut down without notice two months ago has come up with a blueprint to reunite former customers with their pictures.
