THE DAVE PRITCHARD HISTORY:
Born 18. Jun, 1948, England.
The Planets, ?
The Nightriders was formed in 1963 and they played to jan. 1966. Mike Sheridan "lead vocal", Alan 'Big Al' Johnson "lead guitarist" and Dave Pritchard "guitarist" - formerly from a group called 'The Planets', Brian Cope "bass" and Roger Spencer "drums" /former, 'The Hound Dogs'). Mike Sheridan and The Nightriders soon established a reputation around Birmingham as one of the most accomplished bands on the scene at that time.
Roy Wood joined the band in may 1964 and shortly after Mike Sheridan left.
Their stageshow featured costumery, comedy and parody, but they playes also a loft of surf songs.
The Idle Race was formed i may 1966 when 3 members from Mike Sheridan & The Nightriders wanted to make a new band.
1. Line up. may 1966 to jan. 1970
Greg Masters bass/vocals, Dave Pritchard rythmguitar/vocals, Roger Spencer drums/vocals and Johnny Mann (ex. Vikings) guitar.
Jeff Lynne joins the band after 2 months when Johnny Mann left.
Jeff Lynne left the band in 1970 and went to The Move.
The Idle Race brought in two for replacement for Jeff Lynne, Mike Hopkins (ex. Diplomats) and Roy Cullom, who again was replaced by Dave Walker after two months.
2. Line up. jan. 1970 to feb. 1972.
Greg Masters bass/vocals, Dave Pritchard rythmguitar/vocals, Roger Spencer drums/vocals, Dave Walker vocal and Mike Hopkins leadguitar.
During the the group's last few months, all the members left to be replaced by what became Steve Gibbons Band.
Dave Pritchard became a comedian hereafter.
Dave is a very private bloke, he can be very stubborn when he wants and doesn't stand fools lightly. He has an amazing memory for dates and band events and they always called him when they needed to know when something happened. Musically he is a rhythm metronome and loves to play tunes in his own very distinctive and innovative style.

Our Amazing Talks
We publish talk agendas as we're done perfecting them with our speakers.
Keep visiting this list, every published talk will be added down here.
We put so much effort into each of these talks, and there's so much more to come!
Douglas Crockford Upgrading the Web
The web was originally imagined to be a simple distributed document retrieval system. It is now being used for applications that go far beyond the system's original capabilities and intentions. We have found ways to make it work, but they are difficult and far too fragile.
Many times companies have offered to replace the web with superior proprietary systems, but we rejected them. We have been adding features to the web, but this does little to correct the deep underlying deficiencies, increasing instead of reducing its complexity.
This talk suggests a way forward, taking inspiration from our successful transition from NTSC to HDTV. There is a way forward to a web that is safer, easier, and as good as we desire.
Lea Verou The missing slice
Think of the humble pie chart. Simple and ubiquitous, yet surprisingly difficult to create with Web technologies in a flexible, maintainable way. Faced with this simple goal, Lea will take you on a colorful interactive journey through several aspects of CSS and SVG and will sweep you off your feet with clever ways to use them. At the end, you will have your pie and animate it too, but do not be fooled: the real takeaway of this talk has little to do with pie charts and a lot to do with problem solving via the tools the Open Web Platform offers us today.
Martin Kleppe The Aleph
The JavaScript world has seen stunning demos in 1024 bytes, crazy hacks in 140 characters and esoteric sequences of only 6 different symbols. This talk will push the limits even further and reveal, how to write invisible code and singularities: Hidden programs that will generate new worlds out of a single character.
Alexander Kotliarskyi React Native: Under the Hood
React Native is a new open source framework by Facebook that enables software engineers to build world-class application experiences on native platforms using a consistent developer experience based on JavaScript and React. In this talk we'll do a deep dive into technical details about how React Native works. We'll talk about asynchronous bridge that serves as communication channel between JavaScript and platform code and how React fits into this model.
Serge Krul Leading a Front End Development Team
Whether you’re the head of a flock or its whipping tail - chances you were a part of a team at some point in your career. Which qualities have made your experience any better or worse? What to expect from the leader? How to make it tick and pave the road to communal and personal prosperity in a world of constant change? What’s love got to do, got to do with it?
Gil Tayar Old Gods & New: A Vision of Backend & Frontend
What would happen if we gave front-end developers the task of building a backend server that caters to their needs? What would it do? What capabilities would it have? How would it be different from the current backend servers, built by backend developers? I explore the possibilities and try to envision a future where the front-end developers are in charge of the servers that serve their own front-end code.
Alex Wolkov Coding Your Company Culture
There are aspects of your workplace's culture that are out of your control (salaries, benefits, office location). However, there are also some things you can start doing today to influence and enhance your company culture. Alex will showcase how to use your coding skills to improve company culture, with a variety of fun and creative examples.
Benjamin Gruenbaum io.js and the future of server side JavaScript
io.js is a drop-in replacement for node.js and is compatible with nearly all the modules in npm. io.js is a community driven open source project. It was started by the primary contributors to node.js but in the first few months attracted more active developers than the node.js project has had in its entire history. In this talk we'll explore the new features of io.js through how they were contributed by the community. We'll go through my actual contribution process (from issue to specification to pull request to landing) of a feature and explore the new and upcoming features of backend and frontend JavaScript through open source contribution and show how to can get involved and why one should be involved.
Yelena Jetpyspayeva & Vladimir Grinenko BEM - Building 'em modular
Every web developer, designer or manager who supports huge project or tries to reuse some parts of HTML + CSS anywhere else sooner or later will face with the same issues and most likely come to the idea of componentized web. It's rather popular now and was even described as a W3C standard Web Components. But how exactly new are the new ideas and how useful is its realization? In the frontend world since Internet Explorer 5.5 a lot of developers know and use BEM methodology that was created to solve exactly the same problems. During years of use it formed its own huge ecosystem that includes technologies, tools, libraries and active community. It is built and developed by developers within Yandex and outside that use it everywhere both in small such as promo page for a cat and high loaded projects such as Yandex services and Mail.ru. They are well aware of the problems that developers face.
Phil Nash The web is getting pushy
The battle between native and web rages on. The browsers are fighting hard to tear down the benefits that native developers have relied on since the inception of mobile platforms. Geolocation, sorted. Accelerometer, done. Performance, we'll come back to that. But one of the greatest draws for native developers has been push notifications, for the web, email alerts just don't cut it. But now, new in browsers for 2015, is the Service Worker. Born out of the struggle to make the Appcache work for offline capable sites it has also brought the advent of push notifications to the web. Through building up an example application live we will see how to implement the Service Worker to not only serve up an app when we're offline but enhance the online experience with push notifications. The battle may continue, but the web is definitely pushing back.
Matthieu Mayran Nothing else matters: Easy backend for frontend developers
Do you always need to find a backend developer for every project that you have in mind? Lucky to be able to develop on both sides, but mostly interested in spending time doing the frontend? Need to seamlessly synchronize data in real time across various devices? Confused on how several frontends can easily connect to one unique scalable API? This talk will show you how Firebase and Google Cloud Platform can help you simply achieve all that.
Eran Zinman BOOM Performance - the required ingredient for any successful web product
Client performance is what shapes your product and determines the satisfaction of your users. Users don't expect things to happen fast, they expect things to happen immediately. In the presentation we will cover some real-life examples of how to greatly improve performance in web products and share a lot of tricks and cool stuff we've learned along the way.
Or Hiltch Binary Data Adventures in Browser JavaScript
Recently browsers have been introduced with interesting tools for work with binary stream of data. Technologies like XHR2 and File API allow us to fetch binary blobs from urls and the file system, and from there, a whole new world is opened before us: we can use Media Source Extensions to implement live streaming audio/video protocols like DASH and HLS, WebRTC to transmit data P2P bittorrent style, WebGL to draw shapes from arrays of binary position data, and more. Furthermore, using technologies like asm.js and tools like Emscripten to transpile C++ code to JavaScript, we can do amazing things with all of the above, and achieve superior performance. In this talk we'll explore some of these techniques, and learn about how we are solving interesting problems with them.
Igal Steklov Landing your dream job as a FED
Nowadays the demand for Frontend developers is higher than ever. Plenty of offers and interesting positions. So getting hired as a FED should be easy, right? The answer is that this is depending on the position you’re aiming for and what you’re bringing to the table. Different companies look for different profiles. We will map the talents currently looked for by the industry, as well as explore how you should navigate your career in order to become the go-to-guy (or gal) at your organization. By the end of the talk, you will know how to choose the right path in order to make yourself attractive in the job-dating world, so that head-hunters will be targeting you.
Shay Chen Creepy frontend mistakes
Front-end developers often leave loose ends, which allows malicious entities to take advantage of system users, collect data, locations and more. In this talk we will cover the risk of unsecured frontend applications, the potential vulnerabilities, we’ll go through a demo and recommend best practices everyone should implement.
Efim Dimenstein & Itai Chejanovsky Bringing it all together
There are hundreds of different technologies and libraries, but how do we put all of them together to build a complex, multi team, enterprise grade web application? In this talk we will share the "recipe" for building such a product from design, architecture and tools. We will also share tips and lessons we have learned while building such a product.

ANIVERZ
The Abyss—a gaping chasm stretching down into the depths of the earth, filled with mysterious creatures and relics from a time long past. How did it come to be? What lies at the bottom? Countless brave individuals, known as Divers, have sought to solve these mysteries of the Abyss, fearlessly descending into its darkest realms. The best and bravest of the Divers, the White Whistles, are hailed as legends by those who remain on the surface. Riko, daughter of the missing White Whistle Lyza the Annihilator, aspires to become like her mother and explore the furthest reaches of the Abyss. However, just a novice Red Whistle herself, she is only permitted to roam its most upper layer. Even so, Riko has a chance encounter with a mysterious robot with the appearance of an ordinary young boy. She comes to name him Reg, and he has no recollection of the events preceding his discovery. Certain that the technology to create Reg must come from deep within the Abyss, the two decide to venture forth into the chasm to recover his memories and see the bottom of the great pit with their own eyes. However, they know not of the harsh reality that is the true existence of the Abyss.

The Real Condition Behind the Laughing Fits in ‘Joker’
Christine Shatrowsky
Even if you haven’t watched the box-office hit, I’m sure you’ve seen images like these circulating around:
Image via Reddit.
These pictures depict the character Arthur Fleck (pre-DC Universe villain) from ‘Joker.’ The movie documents Fleck’s struggles with mental illness and his subsequent turn to violence after being isolated and outright rejected by society.
Image via Youtube.
Throughout the movie, though, we spot a recurring detail: Fleck’s random laughing fits. While starting his stand-up comedy routines and even simply sitting on a bus, Fleck laughs uncontrollably, leading him to carry an information card to explain his laughter to strangers during one of his episodes.
The Joker’s laughing spells are, actually, based on a real condition. Its name? Pseudobulbar affect.
What is pseudobulbar affect?
Pseudobulbar affect (PBA), also known as emotional incontinence, is a neurological condition characterized by episodes of sudden laughing or crying. Breaking the word into parts gives us -pseudo (meaning false), -bulbar (relating to a specific part of the brain) and -affect (referring to expression of emotion).
Episodes of PBA are usually mood-incongruent, meaning that someone with PBA might laugh uncontrollably while sad or cry while feeling amused. PBA patients may have episodes lasting seconds to minutes for any reason.
Crying appears to be a more common manifestation of PBA than laughing.
How common is PBA?
Recent estimates suggest that around 2 to 7 million people in the United States have PBA, depending on the criteria used to distinguish PBA from other syndromes.
How might someone acquire PBA? How does it occur?
Pseudobulbar affect typically occurs as a result of a neurological condition or brain injury, such as multiple sclerosis, stroke, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease or traumatic brain injury.
The Joker’s information card. We can see that it mentions his condition “can happen in people with a brain injury or certain neurological conditions.” Image via Reddit.
Injury to the parts of the brain that regulate emotional expression are thought to bring about PBA. A malfunction of the cerebellum (which ensures emotional responses are appropriate for social situations), for example, may create this lack of control over an individual’s emotions.
Alterations of neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine (responsible for controlling mood and feelings of pleasure) are also believed to play a role in PBA.
What is it really like to have PBA?
The documentary Beyond Laughter and Tears: A Journey of Hope sheds light on what it’s really like to have PBA. It opens with a viral clip of a man, Scott Lotan, laughing at what appears to be nothing for nearly 3 minutes.
Scott was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and later realized that his laughter was beyond his control. Laughing attacks in restaurants, during important meetings at his job and in other untimely situations have affected his life to a point where they’ve nearly started physical fights. Scott believes most people just assume he’s high or there’s something seriously wrong with him, an unfortunate consequence of having PBA.
Deanna Hurley, also featured in Beyond Laughter and Tears, suffered a stroke. Since then, Deanna hasn’t been able to stop her crying unless she shifts her thoughts to a different topic, which can be difficult for some PBA patients to do. Her physician mistook her crying for depression and told her to see a psychiatrist, but she knew her crying spells were something else.
Deanna’s case brings up an interesting point: patients with PBA are often mistaken for having depression. Dr. Jeffrey Cummings, a neurologist and the Director of the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health, states that “the most common misdiagnosis of PBA is to identify the patient as being depressed. It’s only when you begin to realize that that’s not the way the patient feels that you discover this PBA syndrome.”
Although Scott Lotan’s and Deanna Hurley’s experiences have been far from easy, their input in Beyond Laughter and Tears is helping to raise public awareness of PBA. Hopefully, movies like ‘Joker’ will continue to do so.

Xbox 360 Games Wallpaper Biography
In every origin story, the player is introduced to Duncan, a Grey Warden who is trying to find recruits to fight the Blight. By the end of his or her origin story, the player's character is selected as a potential Grey Warden, and leaves with Duncan.
The player and Duncan journey to a fortress called Ostagar in southern Ferelden, to join Cailan, the king of Ferelden, and Loghain, a legendary general and Cailan's father-in-law. The three leaders plan to make a stand against the encroaching darkspawn before the Blight can overwhelm Ferelden. Duncan can sense the influence of an archdemon, a god-like being hosted in the body of a powerful dragon that commands the darkspawn, which means that this would be the first true Blight in over 400 years. It is of utmost importance that this Blight is ended before it can gain momentum, as previous Blights have left Thedas all but in ruins.
Duncan initiates the player into the Grey Wardens through a dangerous ritual called the Joining. The Joining involves imbibing darkspawn blood, which can either kill a person or imbue him or her with the powerful darkspawn essence known as the Taint. After surviving the Joining, the player and Duncan attend a council of war, where it is decided Cailan's army and the Grey Wardens will lure the darkspawn into attacking. The player, along with another Grey Warden, Alistair, is given the task of lighting a beacon at the top of the fortress which signals Loghain's men to charge the horde's flank, breaking the darkspawn and ending the Blight. After fighting through the many darkspawn that had sneaked around the battle into the tower, the player lights the beacon, though Alistair notes that they're surely doing so late. Loghain, upon seeing the signal, abandons the battle along with his army. King Cailan and Duncan are quickly overwhelmed by the darkspawn horde, who kill them, massacre Cailan's army, and seize control of Ostagar and southern Ferelden. Later, it is told that any survivors of the battle at Ostagar were taken or feasted upon by the darkspawn.
The player's Warden and Alistair are nearly killed at Ostagar as well, but are saved by Flemeth, a powerful witch who lives in a secluded hermitage with her daughter and apprentice, Morrigan. The player, along with Alistair and Morrigan, decide that in order to stop the Blight from destroying Ferelden, and possibly all of Thedas, they will need to gather a new army and slay the archdemon. Using ancient Grey Warden treaties, the player's Warden must travel across Ferelden to enlist the aid of the Dalish elves, the dwarves of Orzammar, the Circle of Magi, and Arl Eamon of Redcliffe. Unfortunately, all of these factions are facing problems of their own, which the player must help resolve to secure their allegiances. Meanwhile, Loghain returns to Ferelden's capital city, Denerim, to inform Queen Anora, his daughter, of King Cailan's death. Loghain uses the Grey Wardens as a scapegoat, blaming them for abandoning the battle and betraying Ferelden, outlawing the order and hunting down any survivors. While Queen Anora inherits her husband's authority, Loghain quickly declares himself her regent and effectively seizes control of the kingdom. Loghain swiftly becomes a brutal and tyrannical ruler willing to do anything to retain power, igniting a civil war between himself and Ferelden's nobility, who refuse to acknowledge his authority.
After the player successfully obtains the assistance of all the primary factions, a meeting known as the Landsmeet is called among the nobles of Ferelden. There, the player confronts Loghain and rallies support from the rest of the kingdom to face the darkspawn. The player is also presented with the option of executing Loghain for his crimes or sparing his life. Sparing Loghain causes Alistair to leave the player's party in anger and disgust (if Alistair has already agreed to marry Anora and become king, he will remain in Ferelden and be present at the end of the game, but he will not rejoin the player's party for the final battle). If Loghain is spared, he is forced to undergo the Joining and takes Alistair's place as a Grey Warden, showing sincere regret for his actions as regent.
At this point, the player learns that only a Grey Warden can slay the archdemon because of the Taint present in a Grey Warden's body. Killing the archdemon releases the demonic essence within it, which is automatically drawn to the Taint in the Grey Warden who slew it, and effectively kills him or her as well; if anyone else slays it, the archdemon's essence survives and finds a new host in the nearest darkspawn, making the monster effectively immortal. On the night before the final battle, Morrigan offers the player's Warden a way to slay the archdemon without sacrificing anyone: Morrigan believes that if the player succeeds in conceiving a child with her, that the child would also carry the Taint. Once the archdemon dies, its demonic essence would be drawn away from any Grey Warden to safely merge with the unborn child instead. The resulting child would be born a demigod, which she plans to raise on her own. Morrigan admits that this was her true motive for joining the player's campaign all along. The player can accept Morrigan's offer, convince Alistair or Loghain to take part instead, or refuse the witch's proposal, causing her to leave the party. If the Warden is female, she can only refuse Morrigan or convince Loghain or Alistair to do it.
The next day, the player and the newly assembled army of Ferelden fight their way through the city of Denerim, which is now overrun by the darkspawn. After fighting their way through the darkspawn horde, and an epic final battle against the archdemon atop Denerim's highest tower, the player is given the chance to deliver the killing blow or to let Alistair/Loghain do it. Either way, the archdemon is killed and the rest of the darkspawn army retreats from Denerim, marking the end of the fifth Blight. Unless the player chose to sleep with Morrigan, whoever slew the archdemon also perishes. Should the player choose the ritual, the option to allow Alistair/Loghain the final blow is skipped: the cutscene showing the Warden slaying it plays automatically.
The story ends with a ceremony attended by the people of Ferelden during which the player and his or her companions are honored for saving the kingdom. The game then presents an epilogue in text and pictures which details the ramifications of the player's in-game choices on the future of Ferelden and the lives of his or her companions.

11th Women's Fl�che Wallonne - CDM

Big guns head for showdown on Mur de Huy
By Ben Atkins
Marianne Vos (Team DSB Bank) won the race in 2007 with a late surge
The Women's World Cup rolls on this week, back into Belgium for the eleventh edition of the Fl�che Wallonne for Women. Like the Ronde Van Vlaanderen earlier in the month, la Fl�che piggy-backs the equivalent men's race, using the same infrastructure and finish line as the more established event. The 103.5km course will cover the exact route of the final loop of the men's race. Starting in Huy, it takes in eight categorised climbs to finish at the top of the last of them: the legendary Mur de Huy.
If everything goes to plan, we should finally be treated to the first showdown this season between three-time winner Nicole Cooke (Great Britain) and last year's victor, Dutch wunderkind Marianne Vos (DSB Bank). This race � like the men's equivalent � has become a mano a mano battle to see who can get up the legendary slopes of the Mur de Huy the quickest, and these two were head and shoulders above virtually everyone else 12 months ago.
It seemed for a while as though Cooke � the British champion riding for her national squad this week � was invincible on the up-to 25% gradients, but then World champion Vos shocked the world and proved that there was more to her game than just a phenomenal sprint. She bided her time as Cooke piled on the pressure and sped past her in the closing metres to take a victory on the famous climb.
Cooke's Great Britain team will be bolstered this week with newly signed team-mate Sharon Laws. Emma Pooley's Specialized Designs for Women team is not invited to this race and so the Trofeo Alfredo Binda winner joins Cooke and Laws in what should be a preview of the GB team for Beijing. Pooley's inclusion is the main reason that the team will be riding in red, white and blue, instead of the orange and black of Halfords-Bikehut.
US Amercian Kristin Armstrong finished a strong fifth last year and is going well in 2008 also
Photo �: Erik Van Breugel
Aside from this, the race ought to feature another battle between the two big in-form teams of this season: Cervelo-Lifeforce and High Road. American Kristin Armstrong (Cerv�lo-Lifeforce) finished in fifth place last year and is showing some great form with her victory at the Novilon Eurocup Ronde van Drenthe last week. She will also be ultra-determined after being defeated on the line by High Road's Judith Arndt at the Ronde Van Vlaanderen earlier in the month.
Arndt herself is a perennial podium finisher here, as is her High Road team-mate Oenone Wood. The two of them working together in the final stages could prove devastating, and both are in fantastic form this month. The German-registered international super-team will � as usual � be totally united behind its two captains.
As well as Cooke, the other three-time winner Fabiana Luperini (Menikini-Selle Italia) will take the start with the aim of adding a fourth title. However, the first of these three victories was 10 years ago in first edition � and the last was in 2002 � and while she's featured in the top ten many times since that last victory she's never really threatened the podium.
Behind the podium of Vos, Cooke and Arndt last year was Team Flexpoint's former US champion Amber Neben. After showing good form already this season, the American will be looking to go at least one better and get her foot on the podium, but she could go all the way.
Great Britain's Nicole Cooke is looking to mount a serious challenge to Vos
The Team Bigla duo of Nicole Brändli and Noemi Cantele has rarely been absent from the front of any of the major races this season. Both are coming into this race with good form and both have finished strongly here in the past. If the main favourites slip up at all, either of these two could get away and cause a small shock.
Equipe Nürnberger Versicherung � the other German super-team � have a number of riders who can do well; not least Trixi Worrack and Edita Pucinskaite, who were third and sixth respectively in 2006; and Eva Lutz who was tenth last year. The team does have a further aim in the race though: the defence of Suzanne De Goede's lead in the World Cup overall.
De Goede herself has no great history in this race, as she's much more of a sprinter than climber. Last year she was the second last to finish (but did finish, where eighty riders did not) but will have been working hard for her then T-Mobile team and Judith Arndt. Ironically, it is Arndt herself that now poses one of the most serious threats to her lead, along with Vos and Pooley, who lurk just behind in the standings after four rounds.
One will also be curious about German Hanka Kupfernagel, who will be starting her road racing season on Wednesday. After winning the 'cross World Championships in Italy, Kupfernagel did a training camp in Soth Africa and is now ready to tackle the road season, with the ultimate goal, the Olympics, looming in the background.

Huge deal: The Green family say they will invest a minimum of $50 million into the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. *Photo by Kegeaki Smith
New owners: Alexander and Andrew Green, along with their dad Peter, now own the Fairmont Hamilton Princess. *Photo supplied
No jobs will be lost
Hotel will still be called Fairmont Hamilton Princess
Sold to Peter Green and his sons Alexander and Andrew
Greens promise a minimum of $50m investment into the hotel
The Greens also own Waterloo House
Hotel had been on the market since February
FRIDAY, SEP. 28: The Fairmont Hamilton Princess has been sold to Bermudians Peter Green and his sons, Alexander and Andrew Green.
They purchased the hotel for an undisclosed price from Global Hospitality Investments (GHI), which has owned the hotel since September 2007.
The property will continue to be managed by Fairmont Hotels & Resorts and there will be no changes to staff or operations as a result of the sale.
The Fairmont Southampton is not part of the deal.
In February, the Bermuda Sun reported GHI had put the Fairmont Hamilton on the market to attract extra investment.
At that time, Jennifer Chase, COO of GHI, told the Sun they had attracted 15 different parties to take an equity stake in the hotel “But if someone came in and made an attractive offer for the hotel and wanted to do the project we would obviously consider that.
“That would be great for Bermuda. We are conscious that other hotel developments have not moved forward on the island and we did not want to wait three to five years before we could go ahead with this exciting expansion.”
The Green family said they will invest a minimum of $50 million to enhance the property.
The family will continue the development plans started by GHI, which include building a marina, upgrading rooms, redeveloping the hotel’s public spaces including the pools, gardens and restaurant to increase the property’s leisure credentials, while maintaining its existing appeal to business travellers.
The project, which has received in-principle approval earlier this year, involves the construction of 60 to 70 marina slips behind the hotel as well as a 39,000 square foot expansion of the Poinciana Wing for extra guest rooms.
The Green family also owns Overbay and the Waterloo House development of luxury commercial and residential accommodations on Pitt’s Bay Road, which passed the halfway point to completion this summer.
Over 90 per cent of the commercial space within the property has been rented out, some of it to companies that are new to Bermuda, and the residential penthouse apartments will be released onto the market this Fall.
The family has a history of owning iconic hotels. From 2004-11, they had a 25 per cent stake in the Maybourne Group, which owns The Berkeley, Claridge’s and The Connaught.
Alexander Green credited Government in enabling to complete the deal so quickly.
He said: “Taking ownership of such a prominent and historic landmark in Bermuda is a dream come true for our family and we are excited about expanding its contribution to the local economy.
“We are developing a long-term investment plan for The Fairmont Hamilton Princess informed by our extensive knowledge of the island based on our family being based here for 65 years.”
Andrew Green added: “While the hotel has traditionally attracted business visitors, we believe that there is great potential to increase the leisure side of the business through enhancements to the hotel’s leisure facilities.
“The hotel has a superb team of management and staff in place, some of whom have devoted as many as 40 years of their lives to its success. We look forward to continuing the good work that GHI has done with plans to upgrade the hotel on an on going basis. This further investment in Bermuda continues to show our dedication to the Island and our unshakable faith in its long term prospects.”
Laurent Poole, CEO of GHI, said: “The Green Family is a natural owner for The Fairmont Hamilton Princess and the ideal fiduciary to bring its full potential to fruition.
“We have had a great experience owning The Fairmont Hamilton Princess and will continue future investment activities in Bermuda.”
Wayne Furbert Minister of Business Development & Tourism, said: “It is exciting to have The Fairmont Hamilton Princess return to Bermudian ownership and we believe that the Green family’s investment in one of the island’s foremost landmarks is a mark of confidence in Bermuda and the future of the island’s tourism industry.”
Len Czarnecki, general manager of The Fairmont Hamilton Princess, says: “We are looking forward to working with the Green family in building upon the existing success of The Fairmont Hamilton Princess."

Akdal MKA 1919 Match 12 Gauge Shotgun
By VS762 (edited)
If you participate in or follow 3 gun, you have undoubtedly seen the Akdal MKA 1919 by now. With 3 gun unlimited (previously open) being dominated by Saigas and Vepr 12s, it is always interesting to see something new. With the MKA 1919 out for over a decade a lot of people are wondering why this shotgun is not more prolific. The answer is not surprisingly, reliability. While all semi-auto shotguns tend to have their quirks, the MKA 1919 had more than its share. The first generations were plagued with both reliability and durability issues. The GEN2 has addressed all these issues. Sadly, the US will still not get the MKA 1919 Match Pro which features an all alloy receiver due to sporting/importation limitations. Head up though, there is a large aftermarket following for this weapon. So lets take a look at this platform and the features that may finally make the MKA 1919 a Saiga killer.
On the business end there are also some updates. While still using internal choke tubes, they are no longer Winchoke pattern tubes. Winchoke tubes are 0.816" x 32. The new MKA tubes are 21mm x 32 (0.824" x 32). Because the thread pitch is the same, Winchoke tubes will screw in and even seem tight. After a few rounds that eighth thousands of an inch catches up to you, and they will loosen. So sad news on that front. Turning to the gas system and bolt, there were some much needed improvements. The gas regulator nut is still a standard right thread, but the jam/lock nut is now a left thread. So far this seems to have fixed the loosening that some earlier owners had. The feed ramps and are not metal and pretty much the entire bolt and carrier have been upgraded. With only 200 rounds through the weapon so far, it is still too early to say how all these improvements will play out. The initial results look promising though.
The one aspect that still needs improvement in our opinion are the sights. The sights are m4 style with a peep or blade option on the rear. It is hard to show in a photo, but rapid target acquisition with this set up is out of the question. While I am not generally a fan of red-dot or reflex sights on a shotgun, this platform really benefits from one.
So with a street price of around $450 USD is this the holy grail of 3gun ready scatterguns? The answer is both yes, and no. The MKA 1919 is a great platform, but far from competition ready. There are aftermarket parts out there to really make this weapon shine. Parts such off-side charge handles, billet lowers, better stocks and so on. So if you are buying this for 3 gun, expect to invest another thousand dollars or so. Even at $1450 you will be competitive for much less than a prepped Vepr or Saiga 12. The UTAS XTR is a strong option also, but for those of us who prefer a side charge I give the MKA the edge. As always if we got something wrong, tell us. MKA 1919 Match Discussion Thread.
On the strong side of the weapon, the first thing you will notice is the now standard ambidextrous safety and over sized magazine release. The logo has also been slightly changed from the previous MKA 1919 XN model. In addition, the charge handle has been updated to what I guess you would call a tactical one. All of these improvements are a massive step in the correct direction. While the safety still feels too smooth and slightly undersized, it does make an effort to support the south paws out there. The massive magazine release button is all but impossible to miss. Magazines now drop free, something that was hit and miss on previous generations. The trigger is slightly lighter than the older XN variant. Over a ten pulls it averaged 8lb 10oz. It is still very much on the heavy side, but the reset is crisp and there is no perceivable over-travel. The bolt release is now also larger and much easier to release even with thick gloves on if you use the palm slap method.
Included with the gun, you will find a plastic accessory case. In the case are the extra choke tubes, choke tube key, and the heavy load gas ring. Changing the choke tubes is the only aspect of maintenance or general usage that requires any tools. Worth noting is the gun we received was clean and oiled. It seems more and more common to get a new firearm that is fairly dirty and dry. It is nice to get something, especially in this price range, that you can just pull out of the box safety check and fire. As time goes on, we will keep you posted on reliability in the thread found here: MKA 1919 Match Discussion.
Check the discussion forums for updates as we build this up for 3 gun unlimited.

Reporting about people with disabilities
In many societies, people with disabilities are pushed aside – be they mentally challenged or physically impaired. Some of them have to beg for money in the streets, others stay out of sight or are even locked away.
In Cambodia, the country’s Disability Action Council (DAC) estimates that nearly five percent of the population of 14.9 million people is disabled. According to the UN Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP), Cambodia’s high disability rates can be attributed to three main factors:
• “past war casualties
• the ongoing risk of mines,
• the lack of prevention and primary care for various disabling diseases.”
The Cambodian media don’t often deal with the lives of the disabled. One reason may be shyness or ignorance on the part of the journalists about the life of people with disabilities. But two recent television training workshops have helped improve the way journalists portray people with disabilities in the media. They were jointly organized by DW Akademie, Germany’s GIZ and the Women’s Media Centre of Cambodia.

Indonesia’s media struggles to maintain independence
In Indonesia, like in many Asian countries, the production of palm oil is a contentious issue. On the one hand, palm oil plantations and the palm oil industry create jobs and income. On the other hand, there are controversial land issues involved. Environmentalists criticize the disastrous effects huge palm oil plantations have on biodiversity.
The media can play a decisive role in structuring the debate and making arguments more transparent for the public. In Indonesia, one of the key players in this debate is the NGO SAWIT Watch Indonesia. Its Programme Director Rahmawati Retno Winarni discussed the relationship between the Indonesian media and organizations representing parts of civil society with DW Akademie’s Patrick Leusch.
This interview was recorded in front of a live audience during this year’s European Development Days in Brussels.
At the European Development Days, DW Akademie presented interviews and debates with representatives from politics, media and international development organizations. Each interview touched on a different aspect of media development.
Organized by the European Commission, the European Development Days is Europe’s premier forum on international affairs and development cooperation. This year, the international conference focused on food security, inclusive growth and engaging the private sector for development.
DW Akademie interviews and debates held at the conference are available on our homepage, as well as over Vimeo and Facebook.

Climate Change: The longer we wait the more expensive it will get.
The Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) recently released a new study that offers two different and probably controversial results. At first the researches say that everything is going to be extremely expensive the longer we wait until political leaders get active. „Global economic growth would be cut back by up to 7 percent within the first decade after climate policy implementation if the current international stalemate is continued until 2030“, the paper says. That‘s an awful lot compared to the 2 percent that are expected if there‘s a climate agreement reached by 2015.
The researchers conclude that it is most relevant to not further postpone mitigation to keep climate targets (the 2 degrees above pre-industrial levels-target e.g.) in reach. “Economists tend to look at how things balance out in the long-term, but decision-makers understandably worry about additional burdens for the people and businesses they are responsible for right now. So increased short-term costs due to delaying climate policy might deter decision-makers from starting the transformation. The initial costs of climate policies thus can be more relevant than the total costs”, lead-author Gunnar Luderer says.
On the other hand Ottmar Edenhofer, he’s the co-author of the study and chief-economist of PIK, formulates a goal that could make it possible to keep the earth’s rising temperatures below the 2 degrees-target mentioned above. But his demands seem to be quite optimistic. At first, he said, a wordwide carbon trading system must reach prices for CO2 emission rights of 20 to 50 Euro (27 to 67 Dollar) per ton. That would be the only way to increase the price of fossil energy sources at a level that could force the industries to switch over to green energy alternatives. Here we should keep in mind that a ton of CO2 is currently traded at just about 3 Euro (4 Dollar) in Europe.
According to Edenhofer especially technologies for carbon dioxide removal from the atmosphere might be required in the future to reach the climate targets. This implies the use of bio-energy alongside wind or solar power, with plants consuming CO2, combined with carbon capture storage (CCS), storing underground the emissions from biomass combustion. The longer it takes to start climate policies the higher is the world’s reliance on these technologies will be, the study adds.
For the study the scientists produced 285 alternative climate change mitigation scenarios, with varying assumptions on the course of international climate negotiations on the one hand and on the other hand the availability of low carbon technologies from solar and wind power to bio-energy, CCS and energy efficiency. For the economic evaluation, they considered indicators like mitigation costs, energy prices or potential financial transfers induced by an international carbon market.

Little monsters under your desk
Yes, it's true. You are not alone in your office. Even if you are not at work, there's someone (or something) living right under your desk, in your office's restroom, or inside of your keyboard. How is that? Researches from the University of Oregon in Eugene (USA) examined 155 rooms of a University building - offices, classrooms and toilets.

Light Triggers a New Code for Brain Cells
Brain cells can adopt a new chemical code in response to cues from the outside world, scientists working with tadpoles at the University of California, San Diego report in the journal Nature this week.
More than skin deep. After exposure to constant light, cells in the pale tadpole's brain adopted a new chemical code to control its skin pigments.

The discovery opens the possibility that brain chemistry could be selectively altered by stimulating specific circuits to remedy low levels of neural chemicals that underlie some human ailments.
Dark tadpoles don pale camouflage when exposed to bright light. The researchers have now identified cells in the tadpole brain that respond to illumination by making dopamine, a chemical message, or neurotransmitter, recognized by the system that controls pigmentation.
"We used to think activity turned a switch to specify which transmitters a neuron would use only in early development," said co-author Davide Dulcis, a postdoctoral fellow in neurobiology who designed and conducted the experiments. "But this is happening after hatching."
The cells, found in a cluster called the suprachiasmatic nucleus, connect to a gland that releases a hormone that disperses pigments to darken skin. Dopamine squelches hormone release leaving pigments tightly packed in skin cells and the tadpoles nearly transparent.
"The behavior meets an ecological need." Dulcis said. "Pale tadpoles are difficult for predators to see in a bright environment, so the faster the tadpoles change their pigmentation, the better they are able to survive."
Cells in the core of the cluster always make dopamine, but a ring of surrounding cells normally don't, even though they are connected to the gland.
Bright light alters this pattern, however. After just two hours, cells in the surrounding ring show signs of making the new neurotransmitter. Because they are already hooked up to the hormone-producing target, illumination can result in noticeably paler tadpoles in as little as ten minutes.
"The new dopamine neurons are not simply activated at random," said co-author Nicholas Spitzer, a professor of neurobiology who leads the research group. "It's as if they are a kind of national guard, waiting in reserve to be called out. There's a pool of neurons waiting for the right sensory stimulus to be called into action and to adopt a new transmitter."
The signal-switching cells receive a link directly from the eye and are part of a brain circuit shared by a variety of animals from bony fish to humans. Although these cells don't contribute to vision, they do monitor light levels for other purposes, particularly for coordinating daily rhythms of physiology and behavior.
Activity might alter brain chemistry in other circuits as well, the researchers say. Light helps people who experience seasonal affective disorder, for example. Their symptoms of depression, which descend during long winter nights, lift in summer and also abate when they are regularly exposed to bright light, a therapy that can be as effective as anti-depressant drugs.
"Maybe it's the case that for many neurons there is additional circuitry that can be activated under certain circumstances," Spitzer said.
Depleted brain chemistry underlies several diseases, including Parkinson's. If a reserve pool of neurons could be identified and recruited by stimulating particular neural circuitry some of the side effects that stem from flooding the entire brain and body with drugs designed to boost levels of specific neurotransmitters might be avoided, he said.
The National Institutes of Health funded the study.

Bliss Investment Partners Secures Funds for Hotel Purchase
OakNorth Bank funds purchase of Ramada Plaza Southport
• OakNorth, has completed a £750,000 loan to Bliss Investment Partners for the purchase of the award-winning waterfront hotel, Ramada Plaza Southport;
• The Private Investment Partnership is backing the existing employee team who have helped establish it as the number-one ranked hotel in the region;
• The transition to new ownership will secure the hotel’s future and bring stability and key jobs to the region.
OakNorth – the bank for entrepreneurs, by entrepreneurs – has completed a debt finance deal worth £750,000 to enable Bliss Investment Partners, to acquire the four-star hotel, Ramada Plaza Southport, from Even Southport Ltd.
Bliss Investment Partners is co-managed by Robert Agsteribbe, who was a minority shareholder in Even Southport Ltd., and Daniel Broch, founder of Everyman Cinemas which he led through its expansion from maiden venue to multiple venues. Given the hotel’s impressive track record and success to date, the new owners are backing the existing employee team lead by General Manager, Enda Rylands, together with Deputy Manager and Sales Office Manager, Lisa Little and Nicky Goodwin.
In addition to its 133 guest rooms, the hotel also has a restaurant (The Marine Brasserie), bar, gym, conference facilities for up to 300 guests, and underground car parking for 80 cars. The hotel, which was built in 2008, is located in the heart of the Southport Waterfront Development, adjacent to the town’s theatre and convention centre, which attracts approximately 25,000 delegates each year. With thousands of reviews and an overall rating of 4.5 on TripAdvisor and 8.9 on bookings.com, it is widely considered as the city’s best hotel.
As one of the most popular seaside resorts in the UK, Southport attracts over 8 million visitors a year, making tourism the largest contributor to the local economy. Famed for its title as ‘England’s Golfing Capital’, with 15 golf courses all within an hour’s drive from the town, Southport is a regular host of The Open Championship at the Royal Birkdale Golf Club.
Commenting on the deal, Robert Agsteribbe and Daniel Broch, managing partners at Bliss Investment Partners said: “We’re hugely excited about this purchase – we love the business and particularly the great team of people. This acquisition locks in a great property with an established and highly effective management team which provides the perfect platform from which to grow the company across further locations in the UK.
“The team at OakNorth were incredibly supportive throughout the process, ensuring that we fully understood what information we needed to provide them with and what the next steps in the process were. It was a very different experience to what we’ve had with other banks – we genuinely felt that we had a partner in OakNorth and that the team were available to help any time day or night.”
Deepesh Thakrar, Debt Finance Director at OakNorth Bank, commented: “Since our launch in September 2015, we have provided debt finance for a number of hotel deals, including the development of a 200-bedroom aparthotel in Liverpool and the purchase of the Best Western Calcot Hotel in Reading.
“Robert and Daniel’s experience, coupled with the strong management team, and the hotel’s outstanding reputation, put it in a prime position for continued success in the future. With Royal Birkdale hosting the Open Golf Championship later this year, the hotel will remain a prime destination for tourists and professionals alike – we look forward to working with the team on future opportunities.”

What You May Have Missed: Weekly Wrap-Up
Mizzou-team
“Argo” and sinkholes and horsemeat … oh my? Check out some of the stories you may have missed last week in today’s Weekly Wrap-Up.
5. An Unlikely Ambassador
Dennis Rodman, the retired NBA star, visited North Korea this week to watch a basketball game between the USA and North Korea, in addition to filming for a new HBO series. After spending quite a bit of time with the country’s leader, Kim Jong Un, ABC.com is calling Rodman, “an unlikely ambassador for sports diplomacy at a time of heightened tensions between the U.S. and North Korea.”
4. Fourthmeal … or Horsemeal?
The Huffington Post reported Friday that a test involving the infamous Taco Bell fast food chain in England resulted in the finding of horsemeat in the ground beef. While the company immediately withdrew the “beef” from sale, I think I’ll be sticking to the bean burritos from now on…
3. Pope Leaves Vatican for the Last Time
Pope Benedict XVI left the Vatican for the last time as the official pope on Thursday. He was taken by helicopter to begin his retirement, leaving his followers and colleagues to wonder what is to come.
2. Sinkhole Swallows Man
A Florida man is assumed to be dead after a sinkhole formed under his home this week and, quite literally, swallowed him up while he was sleeping in his bed. Not crazy enough for you? Authorities stated that the sinkhole is around 30 feet in diameter and 20 feet deep and is continuing to grow. The man’s brother heard his screams as he fell into the hole but was unable to save him; the search has since been called off.
1. And the Oscar Goes to…
Ben Affleck’s “Argo” took home the Oscar for Best Picture at the awards last Sunday. Other show-stealers included Jennifer Lawrence (Best Actress), Ang Lee (Best Director) and Daniel Day-Lewis (Best Actor).
