Ji Dong-Won scores against BVB + Ryu Seung-Woo debut
January 25, 2014 Roy Ghim Koreans in Europe 13
Talk about a plot twist: Ji Dong-Won scores against his future employers Borussia Dortmund, his equalizer for Augsburg coming on his first touch of the game. Sunderland now wonders again what they had let go in the transfer window (especially as their designated strikers are struggling as of late). Falling behind to Borussia Dortmund 2-1, it looked like another win for the European Champion runner-ups. Cue Ji, coming in off the bench in the 70th minute. It took less than 2 minutes for the ex-Sunderland man to head the ball from a tight angle – a ball magnificently placed in the box by a brilliant Andre Hahn cross. A quick snap of the head redirected the ball past Weidenfeller’s outstretched hand, into the far corner post, and bounced on into the net!
There’s a number of media articles already talking about the irony in Ji’s goal. Stefan Buczko in ESPNFC writes, “…another twist. In German, it’s the term ‘ausgerechnet’ whenever a player scores a goal that has some kind of storyline behind it. It translates into ‘calculated’ and it was ‘ausgerechnet’ Dong-Won Ji — who is Dortmund-bound next season — who set the final scoreline.”
Jurgen Klopp displeased (and sort of pleased) with Ji’s goal
There’s a lot going on today (and there’s still the Korea v Costa Rica game tonight), so this isn’t the official roundup yet -but here’s a quick glance around Europe:
Possibly a record has been set today:
Park Ji Sung starts for PSV. I think it’s a new record. 9 Korean players in European Leagues all played some part for their team today!
— 스포츠동아 영국통신원 허유미 (@Rachel_Hur) January 25, 2014
So let’s see who these 9 are.
There’s Hong Jeong-Ho, he joined up with Ji late in the match in central defense for Augsburg…
Park Joo-Ho started for Mainz, Koo Ja-Cheol came on later in the 59th minute. Park apparently had a killer pass that picked out Saller -who knocked in the game winner against Stuttgart…there’s a nice video replay of that -we’ll save it for the roundup…
Kim Bo-Kyung and Lee Chung-Yong faced each other in 4th round FA Cup action respectively for Cardiff and Bolton. Both had solid performances, but in particular (from what I saw), the Blue Dragon was a beast for Bolton. Don’t have exact numbers in front of me, but I gathered he had generated the most opportunities for the Wanderers. Lee was unlucky not to score on 2 occasions. Meanwhile, Kim was exquisite in his passing and ball control, though he did foul Lee twice – including tugging his shirt to stop a Lee inspired counter-attack -which drew a yellow card for Kimbo. In the 89th minute, Kimbo nearly doubled the score, a clear shot that Bolton’s Lonergan did well to block. A Frazier Campbell goal in the 50th- in truth a howler past Lonergan, was just enough to advance the Bluebirds (in red as their away kit?!) onward.
Son Heung-Min played 82 minutes in a 3-2 Bayer Leverkusen loss against a surprisingly spritely Freiburg squad. He had a terrific opportunity to score on a breakaway in the 2nd half, his shot just wide of goal. Winning the Korean Footballer of the Year could’ve been the jinx (my lame theory). He was replaced by none other than Ryu Seung-Woo! It was suggested earlier when he just transferred on loan from Jeju United a few weeks ago that the 19 year old would be in the reserves or go on loan to another team. His form during winter training impressed enough to make the first team. Despite the loss, Ryu showed in the few minutes he had why all fuss was being made about him – some exquisite quality on display including a cheeky back heel pass to develop a scoring opportunity…
Ki Sung-Yeung rested (finally!) for Sunderland in their FA Cup match encounter with Kidderminster, leaving our 9th and final player to see action today, a veteran all these players looked up to when coming over to Europe: Park Ji-Sung started for PSV Eindhoven…
Hmmm…feels like a roundup…well we will have the official roundup later, our new Tavern writer Tim Lee to monitor Ji-Sung’s game and fill in with a different perspective on the day’s events – especially since the Korea / Costa Rica match has yet to play out (9 pm EST / 5pm PST / 10 am Sunday Korea Time). In the US, the match is broadcast by ESPN Deportes. With Ji’s goal, the Taeguk-gi flag remains flying at the Tavern today.
Last thought: When Ki is done resting up for the Blackcats, if/when Park Chu-Young has a new team to transfer to, and if the very young Kim Young-“Kiu” solidifies his place with Almeria’s first team, in the future we could see up to 12 Korean footballers seeing top flight European action per weekend (thanks Tavern Statistician -but using simple addition doesn’t get you off the hook). A look in the rear view mirror for Ji as we all breath a sigh of relief – what an important transfer window – and to think he could have still been languishing on Sunderland’s bench instead of scoring vital goals against Champions League quality teams…and scoring goals for them after July! Om-in-ahhhhh!

oops. didn’t see that this’ll already be up later in the roundup
No problem – glad you could share that nonetheless!
Yup, working on it. I’ll have it for you shortly!
Kimchi Breath
Have not watched LCY play really since his injury. Simply because his matches aren’t really available to me.
What are fans assessments of his state right now? How close to 100% is he playing at?
70%? 80%? 90%?
He’s probably about as close to 100% as he can get. In a recent interview, Lee said he’s pretty much all the way back, but the injury was severe enough that he may never get all the way back to where he was before it.
Looks like JDW is trying to prove me wrong. I just wish PJY could get the chance to prove me right at least. Lol.
KSW didn’t like what I said either. He scored in the 10th minute against Costa Rica. lol
TaegukRedDevil
The Korean team overall was still crap regardless. Korea couldn’t score against nine men.
It was more the finishing that was bad. Midfield dominated. This is exactly why I still don’t see how anyone can really argue that PJY shouldn’t be on the team. He’s still generally a huge upgrade in the attack. From what I saw, the midfield created many opportunities and the forwards just couldn’t capitalize. But let’s also remember that this was the K-League guys that basically dominated most of the match. I come away impressed with the K-League boys. But again, Korea’s weakness has been finishing and it showed again tonight.
Huge? He hasn’t played in a match in over a year. Just think about that for one second.
yes. huge. korea’s finishing is THAT bad.

Tectonica Secures over $25m in Land 400 and Global Supply Chain Contracts
Posted at 10:56 pm in News
Tectonica is pleased to announce that it has secured a major contract with Rheinmetall Defence Australia for the manufacture of sophisticated camera technology for Army’s new Boxer 8×8 Combat Reconnaissance Vehicles (CRVs) delivered under the Commonwealth of Australia’s Mounted Combat Reconnaissance Capability project (LAND 400 Phase 2).
Under this contract, Tectonica will deliver its ALTERATM Local Situation Awareness System (LSAS) on all BOXER 8×8 CRVs to be manufactured at Rheinmetall’s Military Vehicle Centre of Excellence (MILVEHCOE) from 2021.
The LSAS uses visual technologies to provide vehicle crews and operators with improved situational awareness by enabling them to see their surrounding environment by day and by night while remaining protected under armour.
This is the second LAND 400 Phase 2 contract awarded to Tectonica, following on from the September 2019 award to install LSAS on vehicles on the early capability delivery fleet of BOXER 8×8 CRVs currently being built in Europe.
Contributing to the Australian Government’s focus on becoming one of the world’s top 10 defence exporters, Tectonica has also secured a significant export contract to design, develop, manufacture, and export its BANTAMTM data and power distribution system to the Germany Army under a contract with Rheinmetall Electronics. The technology will be deployed through the Bundeswehr’s Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) and is fitted to every soldier wearing a computerised backpack.
Developed in Australia, with the support of the Defence Science Technology Group and Australian Defence Force to reduce the bulk and weight carried by soldiers, the BANTAMTM power system distributes power from a central source and gives the dismounted soldier the freedom to concentrate on their mission, confident that the modular high-tech power management device will last the duration of their mission.
The total value of these contracts awarded to Tectonica is over $25 million.
Tectonica’s Managing Director, David Levy said, “Our partnership with Rheinmetall is a great example of industry working together to strengthen the Australian Defence Force and build sovereign industry capability”.

UK 'oral health crisis': 170 youngsters a day have teeth extracted as sugar blamed for epidemic
Hospital teeth removals take place when a patient requires general anaesthetic, which cannot be given by a dentist Credit: Rui Vieira /PA
Telegraph Reporters
13 January 2018 • 12:01am
Britain's tooth decay epidemic saw around 170 youngsters have teeth extracted in hospital every day last year, with sugar blamed for creating an "oral health crisis".
New NHS spending data shows there were 42,911 hospital procedures to remove multiple teeth from patients aged 18 and under in 2016-17 at a cost of more than £36 million.
It marks a jump of almost a fifth (17 per cent) in the number of extractions performed on young people over the past four years, up from 36,833 in 2012-13.
Hospital teeth removals take place when a patient requires general anaesthetic, which cannot be given by a dentist. The NHS has spent £165 million on such treatment since 2012, past data reveals.
Council chiefs said the spike represented a crisis in dental health, brought on by excessive sugar intake among young people.
This concerning trend shows there is an urgent need to introduce measures to curb our sugar addiction which is causing children's teeth to rot Izzi Seccombe
The findings were also condemned by the British Dental Association, which accused the Government of indifference to the problem.
Chairman Mick Armstrong said: "These statistics are a badge of dishonour for health ministers, who have failed to confront a wholly preventable disease.
"Tooth decay is the number one reason for child hospital admissions, but communities across England have been left hamstrung without resources or leadership.
"This short-sightedness means just a few thousand children stand to benefit from policies that need to be reaching millions."
Teeth extraction
With the majority of procedures taking place during the week, this would mean roughly 170 such operations have happened on each working day during last year, the Local Government Association's (LGA) analysis of the data said.
The LGA, which represents 370 councils in England and Wales, called for a crackdown on unhealthy foods and soft drinks to combat spiralling cases of tooth decay.
Limiting the amount of sugar in soft drinks and putting a teaspoon labels on food to indicate sugar it contains would help slash consumption, the LGA said.
Local authorities have a responsibility to help protect public health.
What are the benefits of giving up sugar?
Izzi Seccombe, chairwoman of the LGA's community well-being board, said: "These figures, which have risen sharply, show that we have an oral health crisis and highlight the damage that excessive sugar intake is doing to young people's teeth.
"The fact that, due to the severity of the decay, 170 operations a day to remove teeth in children and teenagers have to be done in a hospital is alarming and also adds to current pressures on the NHS.
"This concerning trend shows there is an urgent need to introduce measures to curb our sugar addiction which is causing children's teeth to rot."
A debate on children's dental examinations and treatment is due to take place in the House of Lords on January 18.
Sugary drinks breakdown
Professor Russell Viner, officer for health promotion at the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health, said: "Having a tooth extracted is very serious.
"There's the operation itself to consider, the aesthetic along with its associated risks as well as the anxiety operations cause children and their families.
"As many of these operations are due to the food and drink children consume, they are completely preventable and pose an unnecessary financial burden on our overstretched NHS.
"At a time when we are faced with reports of chronic bed shortages and cancelled operations, these latest startling statistics should act as a wake-up call to policy makers and act as the catalyst for change."
An NHS England spokeswoman said: "NHS dental care for children is free, and tooth decay is preventable, but eating sugary food and drinks is driving this unfortunate and unnecessary epidemic of extractions.
"NHS England is working with the dental profession, local authorities and health providers and has developed Starting Well - a campaign targeted at high-need communities to help children under five see their dentist earlier and improve their dental health.
"In supporting the 'dental check by one' campaign, NHS England is working with the dental profession to help an additional 70,000 more children see a dentist before they reach their second birthday."

Children's minds 'dulled by iPads before starting primary school'
Children's minds have been dulled by iPads before they even enter primary school Credit: Reuters
Charles Hymas
8 September 2018 • 7:00am
Duty of Care Campaign
National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT)
Children are less inquisitive and ask fewer questions because their minds have been dulled by iPads before they even enter primary school, according to the head of Britain’s biggest head teachers’ association.
Andrew Mellor, the president of the National Association of Head Teachers (NAHT), said children were coming into school as passive rather than active learners because parents were using iPads as “soothers” to keep them quiet.
He said it prevented them developing their imagination and an inquisitive mind which came from reading picture books with their parents.
“We have children starting school at the age of four who are used to having technology put in front of them almost as a soother if they have a tantrum,” he said in an interview with The Daily Telegraph. “They have not been stimulated in early reading and maths but essentially had an iPad in front of them rather than looking through books and developing vocabulary.
“When you ask children to be active learners, it’s not natural for some children who haven’t had that experience. They are used to one-to-one attention which is essentially what an iPad does. Stimulating a child on a one-to-one basis is not what schools can do in a class of 30.”
Top 5 tips | for staying safe online
He said it took a year to wean children off the technology which is increasingly used by under-fives.
Ofcom data shows that more than a fifth of three- and four-year-olds own iPads and more than half spend nearly eight hours a week online.
Mr Mellor also blamed social media for an increase in violence among both pupils and parents, who were coming to blows in the playground or at the school gates after abusing each other online.
He said social media encouraged more vitriolic abuse than is used when people are face-to-face.
“It takes away from the standards agenda in a school like mine where every lesson is critical. We can’t afford to be spending time dealing with stuff that originates outside school,” said Mr Mellor, head of St Nicholas Church of England primary school in Blackpool.

He was backed by Peter Radcliffe, assistant head teacher at Longdean School, a secondary in Hemel Hempstead, who said social media was so deeply embedded in the teenage psyche that it had turned many young people’s lives into “a constant abusive cycle, insulting and baiting others”.
“In the worst cases, parents and even grandparents also engage in this cycle, which often results in feuds that escalate between families. Even though this typically starts during evenings or at weekends, there seems to be an expectation that schools should deal with the fallout.”
Mr Mellor said he was also concerned at the unfettered access that even primary schoolchildren had to pornography on their smartphones.
He said the Government needs to take action to force the tech giants to be more socially responsible and help parents manage their children’s use of social media better.

The student shall have the opportunity to appeal any decision involving disciplinary action. Appeals of dismissals must be submitted directly to the Office of the President. All other appeals must be submitted in writing to the Provost. All appeals must be filed within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of the disciplinary action. The appeal must specify the grounds on which it is being made. Allowable grounds for appeals are limited to the following:
Evidence of procedural irregularity that affected the fairness of the hearing
Evidence of significant mitigating circumstances or facts that could not have been presented to the investigating staff member or at the hearing
Evidence of undue severity of sanction

Erika enjoyed playing rugby in Scotland, now she hopes to play against them

Nelson: Playing alongside Red Roses has helped me become a leader for Scotland
Shaunagh Brown: “I’m just a kid playing rugby in my head still”
Sister act: ‘Tactically astute’ Rachel joins sibling Sarah in Six Nations squad
Italy, Scotland, Six Nations, Women's Rugby
After two years earlier in her career playing for club side Oban Lorne, Erika Skofca admits “a wee bit of my heart will always be Scottish”.
However, now her full focus is on making the breakthrough with the Italy squad during this year’s Women’s Six Nations and beyond - and that could mean a potential appearance against the Scots this Sunday in the third round fixture in Legnano.
The 21-year-old has been converted into a loosehead prop in recent months and was on the bench for the Italians round one fixture against Wales.
“I grew up in a small town located in the north east of Italy and I have been playing rugby since I was 16, before that I was focused on ski competitions,” Skofca told TRU this week.
“I started thanks to my sister as she pushed me to try this sport. When I finished school I was looking for a new experience and my rugby coach at the time, Cesare Zambelli, helped me to get in touch with a rugby team in Scotland.
“Darrell Williams was the team manager of the Oban Lorne women’s team and was also the general manager of a hotel in Oban as well, so he gave me a job and helped me out with the shifts in order to let me train and play the games with the club.
“I fell in love with Scotland as soon as I got there! The people were lovely and Oban was just really beautiful.
“My Oban Lorne team mates really fast became my new rugby family.”
Congratulations to Oban Lorne Ladies former player Erika Skofca who has been named in the Italian International squad for the upcoming 6 Nations! Erika grew from strength to strength with Oban Lorne and played her heart out for our ladies every single! #Internationalstar #oneclub pic.twitter.com/M7AQHJXfze
— Oban Lorne RFC (@ObanRfc) January 15, 2020
Skofca has moved back to Italy now and is playing for Valsugana Rugby Padova - “a really good team where lots of players are part of the national set-up as well” - and having played centre in Scotland she has been learning all about front-row play since September 2019.
“It has all happened quite fast with Italy, I was on the bench against Wales and then not involved against France, so hopefully I'll get the chance to play this Sunday,” she stated.
“If I do there is probably going to be mixed - and really strong - emotions.
“After two years in Scotland, I can say that a wee bit of my heart will always be Scottish.”
The club recently took to social media to congratulate Skofca on her international call-up, saying: “A huge Congratulations to Oban Lorne former player Erika Skofca who has been named in the Italian International squad for the Six Nations.
“Erika grew from strength to strength with Oban Lorne and played her heart out for our ladies every single game over two seasons with the club - massive congratulations Erika, we knew you could do it.”
“We are ready to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and get the result we are looking for”
Since Scotland defeated Italy at Broadwood in the 2017 Six Nations they have lost three times to the Italians.
Two of those came in 2018 away from home in the competition and in an Autumn Test, but Scotland hooker Lana Skeldon believes they are a different beast on the road now.
I think, as a whole, we have developed as a group, they were difficult games back in 2018, but we still learnt things from them and I think now we have a much better mindset to take on any challenge that is thrown at us,” the 26-year-old, who is set to win her 40th cap at the weekend, said.
I think it is a massive opportunity for us this weekend to really show that with each game we are improving and that we are doing the things we are setting out to do.
“Nowadays we just treat every game the same, previously we have struggled away from home, but the way in which the training camps are set out now we are very much ‘ready to go’ when the game comes around wherever it may be.
“We were disappointed not to win in Ireland in round one, but performance wise we put down a marker.
“Against England it wasn’t perfect, but there we're things to take forward and, moving into this third game, we are ready to put all of the pieces of the puzzle together and get the result we are looking for.”
Italy Women v Scotland Women takes place at the Stadio Giovanni Mari in Legnano on Sunday at 6.10pm local time (5.10pm GMT)

“A Tale Both Old and New”: Finding Baba Yaga by Jane Yolen
Tue Oct 30, 2018 1:30pm 2 Favorites [+]
This is the story of Natasha. It is not the story of the beautiful Vasilisa and her charming prince, although they might claim otherwise. Nor is it the story of the Baba Yaga, or at least not in the way you think. No, this is about Natasha and how she became herself by becoming someone else.
For Natasha, home is hell. Her father is abusive and angry, her mother fearful and beaten down. When she can stand no more, she flees into the woods. She brings nothing with her but her will to survive. Eventually she stumbles upon a house standing on chicken legs tended by an old woman calling herself the Baba Yaga. She is a “mighty force” of a woman with an unreadable face and a mouth full of iron fillings. Most girls would be afraid of the crone with an iron nose and blunt disposition, but Natasha is not like most girls. Natasha moves in and is put to work. Life is hard, but she’s happy there, glad to be useful and thankful to be respected. All the things her father hated about her, the crone enjoys.
Everything changes when Vasilisa arrives. She is all that Natasha is not, and while their contrasts at first act as complements, soon they become conflicts. And when Vasilisa meets her handsome prince, Natasha’s feelings for her best friend get as tangled as the weeds in Baba Yaga’s garden. Buried between the lines, Yolen hints at Natasha’s growing feelings toward Vasilisa and the unexpected sense of betrayal she feels when the man comes around. But like much of this novella, Yolen leaves the investigation and interpretation up to the reader.
Vasilisa and her prince escape the clutches of Baba Yaga, as they are wont to do. This is a folktale, after all. The princess always runs away and the crone always chases after her. Natasha could flee like her companion, but she finds power and peace under the old witch’s roof. The chicken leg house isn’t a waystation in a larger quest or a chapter in a book but the ending and the beginning all rolled into one.
Now, I’m not one for poems. I don’t dislike poetry, but I don’t especially like it either. There’s no real reason for my disinterest; poetry just isn’t my jam. So it’s a testament to my admiration for Jane Yolen that despite knowing Finding Baba Yaga was written entirely in verse, I still desperately wanted to read it. And now, having circumnavigated it thrice over, I’m so glad I did.
Although it took me a few verses to settle in to the storytelling methodology, once I did everything clicked. I could see what Yolen was pushing, what she left unsaid, and what was left for me to discover on my own. The poems were short but not abrupt, intricate but not delicate, layered but not inexplicable. Yolen reveals so much in just a few brief lines. There’s a whole world in a single stanza.
There is no peace
in this house,
only strips of paper,
tatters of cloth,
slivers of glass,
slit lips and tongues.
I pick up the shards
and put me to bed
every night.
Jane Yolen is one of the all-time greats. She is one of the biggest voices in young adult fiction and has helped guide and shape it into the juggernaut it is today. Her books are creative, unique, and deeply moving. So too is her latest YA novella Finding Baba Yaga. With a bit of verse, Yolen weaves a remarkable folktale about finding the power within and becoming the person you want to be. In the Foreward, Yolen explains how she was inspired to write this novella after discovering a website featuring Lonely Hearts posts written from the perspective of Baba Yaga, one of her favorite characters from folklore. Some of these poems you may have seen published elsewhere, but they work much better as a whole than individually.
Finding Baba Yaga is like a forest in a snowstorm: harsh, bleak, romantic, and breathtaking. Obviously Yolen knows her Russian folktales because this feels very, very Russian in the best possible way. I hope this isn’t the last time Yolen mixes young adult fiction, folktale adaptations, and poetry. Read it, then read it again.
Finding Baba Yaga is available from Tor.com Publishing.

Best books of 2017Books
The best politics books of 2017
A year of Tory meltdown, Brexit bots, and in which women spoke out in the wake of Harvey Weinstein

History may be written by winners, but the juiciest tales are always told by losers. Nothing yields richer pickings for political commentators than a movement furiously tearing itself apart in defeat, and on that score at least, 2017 has delivered in spades. The doyen of such high-class gossip is the Sunday Times political editor Tim Shipman, whose All Out War was last year’s bestselling guide to the referendum campaign. Its sequel Fall Out (William Collins) takes up where that left off, describing first how Theresa May somehow managed to turn an almost invincible polling lead into a disastrous electoral collapse, and second the phenomenon of Jeremy Corbyn’s rise to almost-power.
Readers should be warned that it’s very much in that order; although the chapters set inside Labour’s divided HQ are meticulously done, they lack the tangible intimacy and insight of the chapters on Tory meltdown. Nonetheless Shipman’s books are fast becoming classics, the equivalent of Andrew Rawnsley’s guides to the New Labour era. This one is if anything more accessible than the last, focusing on the personality clashes that helped bring the Tories in particular to their current dysfunctional state. It’s testament to the rigour of Shipman’s research that the book doesn’t feel dated despite the speed at which events at Westminster have moved since it went to press, with a string of ministerial careers now threatened by claims of sexual harassment.
Talking of which, one of the most unexpected catalysts of social change and reflection this year has been the outpouring of female anger prompted by the Harvey Weinstein scandal, with women worldwide volunteering long-buried stories of sexual abuse. At its peak #metoo began to function almost as a political movement, albeit with a small “p”. So it’s perhaps appropriate that this year should have seen so much female anger making its way into print.

The first in a spate of unmissable political books by women was Harriet Harman’s autobiography A Woman’s Work (Allen Lane), which looks newly contemporary in the wake of Weinstein. It opens with a confession about all the times she was sexually harassed as a young woman – stories it has, in some cases, taken her half a century to talk about – and closes with a poignant account of why she never dared run for the party leadership. In Everywoman (Hutchinson), her Labour colleague Jess Phillips takes aim at everything from sexual exploitation and domestic violence to body shaming in a narrative that is by turns witty and furious. The heavyweight contender, however, is Hillary Clinton’s What Happened (Simon & Schuster). Anyone bored witless by Clinton’s stilted official autobiography a few years ago need not worry; this account of how she lost the presidential election is as close to unbuttoned as she gets. The book’s central warning about the scope and ambition of Russian attempts to subvert western politics looks ever more prescient as the months go on – including in Britain, with debate now raging over the impact of Russian bots’ cheerleading for Brexit on social media.
Goodhart's Road to Somewhere is a thoughtful introduction to the deep regional divides exposed by the EU referendum
Ah, Brexit. This Christmas brings a fresh crop of attempts to understand its implications, for those who aren’t already sick to the back teeth of it. The leave voter in your life, or remainers worried they might be living in a liberal bubble, might well appreciate the updated paperback version of David Goodhart’s Road to Somewhere (Hurst), his account of what drove angry provincial voters (Somewheres) to take revenge on a condescending cosmopolitan elite (Anywheres) at the referendum. If you can get past the intellectual contortions Goodhart performs to argue that what sounds uncannily like racism isn’t racism really, it’s a thought-provoking introduction to the deep regional divides exposed by the vote to leave the EU. Read it alongside Richard Reeves’s Dream Hoarders (Brookings Institution), written originally for an American audience, about the ways in which a middle class elite quietly advance their own children at the expense of other people’s. Those growing ever angrier at where the referendum is leading us may however prefer Nick Clegg’s How to Stop Brexit (Bodley Head), a short, sinew-stiffening guide for anyone whose New Year’s resolution is to do exactly that. Finally there is Robert Peston’s WTF (Hodder & Stoughton), which traces the current political volatility back to what he argues are its economic roots. The chapters on Tony Blair’s and Gordon Brown’s approach to borrowing, the handling of the banking crash and the failure to address economic inequality in its aftermath are well worth bookmarking.

Brown himself explores similar ground in My Life, Our Times (Bodley Head), his attempt to put the record straight about the last Labour government and defend his part in bringing the world back from the brink during the 2008-09 financial crisis. The book suffers from some occasionally jaw-dropping absences of self-awareness, and a certain magisterial self-absorption. But Brown’s frustration that Labour could not hang on to power long enough to tackle deeper issues exposed by the banking crash is palpable.
The surprise delight of the year for me, meanwhile, was the Washington Post reporter Souad Mekhennet’s I Was Told to Come Alone (Henry Holt). It’s ostensibly a book about journalism, from a woman who covered the rise of al-Qaida, the Arab spring and then Isis via a remarkable and at times personally risky series of interviews with jihadi leaders. But it’s also a highly readable primer on the forces that gave rise to jihad, and an insight into the complexities of immigrant identity and loyalty. A German-born Muslim whose family is of Moroccan origin, Mekhennet is regarded with suspicion at times both by militant Islamists and western security services; and while she never condones the violence she sees, she has an unusual ability to project herself into the shoes of those drawn to extremist ideology as well as their victims. In a slippery post-truth world, her book is a reminder of just how much meticulously investigated and reported truths matter.
And if none of this makes for very cheering Boxing Day reading, then there’s always a fail-safe antidote; just slip a copy of I, Maybot: The Rise and Fall (Guardian Faber), a collection of John Crace’s sketches of an extraordinary year in politics, under the tree. Buy while your prime minister lasts.

NHS group considers charges for crutches and neck braces
South Warwickshire CCG presents 'tentative' proposal to public participation group, prompting criticism from health unions

Denis Campbell, health correspondent
Wed 16 Apr 2014 14.12 EDT
Patients could be asked to pay for their own crutches, walking sticks and neck braces under proposals drawn up by an NHS organisation to introduce charges for services that are currently free.
GPs in south Warwickshire have sparked controversy by examining how patients who are disabled or recovering from an accident or operation could be asked to contribute towards the cost of devices that are vital to their mobility.
Critics said the proposals were "the thin end of the wedge" and could lead to patients being charged to access core NHS services, hitting disabled and poorer people hardest.
If implemented, the proposals from the GP-led NHS South Warwickshire clinical commissioning group (CCG) could also affect patients suffering from whiplash, a hernia or sore hip or knee, or who have fractured their spine or who need help getting out of bed.
Although many patients in England already pay for dental treatment, prescriptions, glasses and hearing aids, all basic NHS services are free. Ministers and NHS England have made clear that they are opposed to new charges for care.
Sue Lear, a "service design and innovation" official working on behalf of the CCG, told its patient and public participation group last week that it was keen to reduce its annual £421,000 bill for devices that are known generically as orthotics. Its overall annual budget is £304m and it commissions and funds treatment for the 270,000 people within its borders.
Her presentation to about 20 elected patient representatives from different GP surgeries in the area posed questions about the viability of introducing charges. "Would it be reasonable to ask people to contribute to the cost of orthotics, aids and appliances? If so, which items and how could we agree this? If so, what criteria should be applied, eg low-cost items below a specified threshold?"
Lear also listed 15 different types of aids or devices to which charges, or contributions from patients, might be applied. They were: ankle foot orthoses, ie foot drop splints; wrist splints; trusses, eg for hernias; spinal supports; knee braces; hip braces; lumbar/sacral/abdominal supports; spinal support, eg for fractures; cervical support – collars; helmets; toilet aids & equipment; perching stools; walking aids – walking sticks, crutches, frames; bed mobility aids – sticks, beds, grab handles; and bath seats.
Many such pieces of equipment are never returned by patients once they have finished with them and so cannot be reused, increasing costs at a time when money is tight, Lear said. However, patient representatives told her that charges would deter some who needed such devices from obtaining them and that any means-testing would prove very complicated to administer.
The move, uncovered by the anti-cuts group False Economy, is thought to be the first time that any provider of NHS care has looked seriously into introducing charges. Two recent reports from the Reform and King's Fund thinktanks advocating charging for GP visits and hospital appointments or a £10 monthly fee to help the NHS cope with increasing demand for healthcare have prompted a debate about whether the NHS should abandon the key principle that it is free at the point of use.
Those present at the meeting said the proposal, which Lear described as "tentative", was given a hostile reception. The CCG wanted to gauge reaction to the possibility of introducing what she called "self-funding for orthotics", which suggests that it may expect at least some patients to pay the full cost of their device.
NHS England criticised the CCG's proposal. "NHS services are free of charge, except in limited circumstances sanctioned by parliament. An approach like this would appear not to meet these criteria", a spokesman said.
Frances O'Grady, the TUC general secretary, said: "The idea of charging for the use of essential items like mobility aids and braces runs contrary to everything the NHS stands for. What started out as an idea floating around rightwing thinktanks is now raising its head in clinical commissioning groups within the heart of the NHS."
Christina McAnea, head of health at the union Unison, said: "Charging patients for essential items such as crutches is the thin end of the wedge. Where do we go from here?".
Liz Sayce, chief executive of Disability Rights UK, said: "Charging for essential equipment is counter-productive and unfair and will also jeopardise independence by putting some people off getting essential equipment. And public funding is supposed legally to support proactive steps to achieve greater equality for disabled people. This would do the opposite."
The British Medical Association, the doctors' union, also criticised the move. "The NHS is facing a tough economic climate, but charging patients for important medical equipment is completely the wrong way to tackle the health service's financial challenges", said Dr Chaand Nagpaul, chair of its GP committee.
"If walking sticks, knee braces or other items are issued to patients it is because there is a clear clinical need for them. They can significantly reduce pain and improve a patient's wellbeing. By attaching a charge to these items, we run the risk that vulnerable people, especially the growing numbers of people over 70, and those in low incomes, will not be able to afford them. It could also deter all patients from seeking care," he said.
"In the long term, this measure will actually end up costing the NHS more money as patients without medical equipment will invariably have to go to their GP or visit the hospital more often because of pain, reduced mobility or suffering falls."
The CCG refused to answer questions about what it called a "very early-stage" proposal, including who had come up with the idea. In a statement it stressed its need to save money.
"NHS South Warwickshire CCG is committed to the NHS's key principle of free at the point of use. At our latest patient and public participation group, one of our discussions was about how to improve quality and value for money of our orthotics service," a spokeswoman said.
"A number of avenues were discussed, in particular helpful comments about the equipment returns process and whether charging for equipment should be considered. This has not been discussed further within the CCG since the meeting and no proposals exist to develop this further."

Soonthorn Wongsaita/ShutterstockIf you’ve ever been pricked too many times for a shot before the clinician finally finds your vein, you already know the frustrations of a misplaced needle. But for deeper injections, the stakes are even higher.
Plastic tubes called catheters need to reach large veins to draw blood or deliver medications. Instead of pricking an arm, clinicians insert the needles in places like the neck or thigh. They don’t always find the veins the first time, though, and children’s are even harder to locate because their bodies are smaller than adults’. In fact, about 30 percent of those injections miss the mark, says Hugo Guterman, PhD, electrical and computer engineering professor at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. About 300 Americans die each year of infections and other complications from misplaced needles, he says.
To make deep injections more accurate, Dr. Guterman and his lab have developed the Fast Intelligent Needle Delivery (FIND) system.
Via, Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical CenterThe system hooks a joystick up with an ultrasound to find the vein. Once the device finds its target, the needle goes in at the push of a button—way more accurate than doing it by hand. “From our experience, everyone who used FIND was able to find the vein and introduce the needle after five minutes of training,” says Dr. Guterman. “Therefore, we are very optimistic and expect that a well-trained operator will get an almost 100 percent success [rate].”
Not only is FIND safer, but it also saves time. Depending on a vein’s location, manual insertions can take anywhere from one to forty-five minutes, says Dr. Guterman. But FIND finishes in just a fraction of that time—setting the system up and inserting the needle takes just 20 to 45 seconds.
FIND still needs to go through clinical testing before seeking FDA approval. In the meantime, Dr. Guterman has teamed up with Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center to create Xact Medical to continue research and development.
At first, FIND will probably be used mainly for difficult deep injections in kids and adults, like reaching the neck, says Dr. Guterman. Eventually, he hopes it will have even wider uses, such as biopsies. “It can be adapted to be used in every part of the body,” he says.

The Art of Politics
Two shows offer food for political thought in a chaotic election season.
By Tiffany BradleyTwitter

How do we talk politics? Many months away from the presidential election, I’m already tired of our current discussion. The news is full of conversations that don’t work: recaps of overcrowded debates, endless fact checking, and GIFs of candidates’ faces. Also not helpful for political inspiration: long policy papers that no one but reporters and political junkies will read. And certainly the least useful: the screaming and shouting led by reality-show candidate Donald Trump.
My eyes are already glazed over, and we’ve made it only as far as the New Hampshire primary. To get a thoughtful perspective on political change, I’m turning to artists. Their work is offering another view, whether through calls to action, soft reflection, or somewhere in between. Turning down the volume and slowing down the pace has its rewards.
The Brooklyn Museum and the Guggenheim have radically different experiences on offer. “Agitprop!” at the Brooklyn Museum looks at the continuity of political struggle until the current moment, while “Photo-Poetics: An Anthology” at the Guggenheim focuses on the immediacy of everyday lives.

“Agitprop!” hits you hard at first glance. This Brooklyn Museum exhibition mixes five historical case studies with 20 contemporary art projects, national and international. Many of the works drive towards direct action. Soviet posters and suffragette banners fight for your attention as you enter the Sackler Center for Feminist Art. So many messages in conversation with each other could be empowering, but in this case they feel overwhelming, much like the campaign trail I’m trying to tune out. With such constant bombardment, it’s hard to learn any new lessons.
In many of these works, language drives the art: Posters from Gran Fury, Guerrilla Girls, and Dyke Action Machine! focus on wordplay rather than power through imagery. The exhibition works best with space to breathe; Urgent Visions, a mural by Egyptian street artist Ganzeer unfolds as it would on the block. The form of a woman shielding her face from harassment reads clearly without subtitles. Similarly, Adejoke Tugbiyele’s Gele Pride Flag patchworks bright head wraps into an LGBT pride flag—an international symbol made personal and tactile. You get the impact of an international protest woven into the textiles of West Africa.
The exhibition stumbles when documenting performance as protest, from John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s bed-ins to Los Angeles Poverty Department’s jazz processions to Dread Scott’s On the Impossibility of Freedom in a Country Founded on Slavery and Genocide. Watching past performances on video screens made me feel like I missed the party. There’s an immediacy of relationship and reaction with performance in protest that just reads as dull after the fact. Political art that combines a cultural imperative and some imaginative space make the most impact.

“Photo-Poetics: An Anthology,” on the other hand, captures the politics of the everyday. Ten contemporary artists share their perspectives through reflective photographs, videos, and slides. Looking through the viewfinder of others can be more effective than receiving slogans. “Photo-Poetics” isn’t advertised as a feminist show, but seeing the world through the lens of (primarily) women photographers is still rare, both in museums and in popular media.
Spread out on three floors, the show starts with the rich and slightly disorienting work of Leslie Hewitt. Her Riffs On Real Time series layers personal snapshots over archival magazine images over rec-room textures, offering a nuanced view of black life often missing in these frantic times. Likewise, Morya Davey’s hour-long video Les Goddesses personalizes women’s bodies and choices. Even her installation is intimate, making viewers sit on a shared couch as they listen to her voice and look into her apartment. Davey braids together stories about her sisters, contrasting their experiences with those of the 18th-century feminist theorist Mary Wollstonecraft. Davey’s portraits of liberated women alternate between adventure and disaster.

Meanwhile, Lisa Oppenheim and Kathrin Sonntag use slide carousels to rotate their images in a meditative immersion. These works bring us back to photography as a tactile craft, slowed down from the flood of social media selfies.
In the end, art provides space for both reflection and action. The campaign cycle is only driving us to one point: the ballot cast in November. But without an accurate reading of the social movements that brought us to this point, or the tenuous relationships connecting our society, we probably won’t make an informed choice about future governance.

Hidden cost of Covid as calls to eating disorders helpline surge in Scotland
By Kirsteen Paterson @kapaterson Journalist
Calls to Beat's Scottish eating disorders helpline have risen 162% during the pandemic
A SPECIALIST eating disorders charity has expanded its services as the pandemic sees more and more Scots seek help.
Calls to the Scottish helpline run by the Beat charity have shot up by more than 160% in a year. The change refers to the period between April and October, compared with the same six months in 2019.
That demand is predicted to rise again as Christmas nears and Covid restrictions continue.
The 30-year-old charity says the pandemic has been "particularly challenging" for those affected by eating disorders.
Factors include changes to treatment plans and lack of access to support networks.
Loss of routine is also said to be driving an increase in need as those affected grapple with the upheaval.
The imposition of Level 4 restrictions over swathes of Scotland means the organisation is readying itself for continued high demand.
Emma Broadhurst, its national officer for Scotland, said: "It’s not surprising to see such a large increase in people reaching out for help, especially now with extra worries about restrictions over Christmas.
"Recovery from an eating disorder can be challenging enough without the added pressures of a pandemic, but we know it is still absolutely possible and will be here to support anyone wanting extra help for however long they need us."
Beat is now offering a free Zoom-based Coping with Christmas course designed for those who have been caring for someone with anorexia, bulimia or binge eating disorder for less than five years.
The training sets out to "empower carers and equip them with the skills to support someone with an eating disorder over the festive period, so that they feel more in control and less overwhelmed". Carers will also hear from other families who have been in similar situations.

Scott Cam Just Demolished His Reputation On Live TV. Now 5 Lucky Couples Get To Rebuild It!
Victorians Stuck In NSW Have Had Plenty Of Time To Become Professional Tennis Players, Andrews Says
Craig Kelly Vows To Block Anyone Who Doesn’t Agree With His Free Speech
Trump To Begin New Role At Sky News Australia
In a new twist on reality TV favourite The Block, host Scott Cam has completely demolished his own reputation, ready to be rebuilt by the show’s 2020 contestants.
Cam said the format was overdue for a refresh, and getting contestants to overhaul a reputation rather than an apartment block was just the twist the show needed.
“Anyone who saw today’s interview will tell you it was a demolition job. The reputation’s been razed to the ground – there’s nothing left. So the contestants will have a clean slate to work with, which is very exciting,” Cam said.
Cam said it was one of the toughest challenges the show has ever seen.
“I’m really not sure how the contestants are going to be able to do this, to be honest. But one of the things I love about this gig is how it’s full of surprises. I mean, who would’ve thought someone would come up with the idea of paying me $350k to do a couple of Facebook posts? It’s just so creative, such an amazing use of a tight budget”.
Each week will see teams rebuild a different part of Cam’s reputation, with the host being auctioned off to the highest bidder at the end of the series. “Of course we won’t be able to reveal the final auction price. That’s none of your business,” Cam said.

Greatest In Flames Songs
Only for the Weak
This a melodious over load of metal!
That catchy composition played during the intro and the chorus is mesmerizing! The meaning behind the song is insane! This is and will for sure always be in flames' best song!
Its just a masterpiece. Everything about it, how the music flows so nicely with the vocals and how its one of those songs no matter how many times you play it, you never grow tired of it. It gives you goosebumps. Probably not only the best in flames song, but one of the top metal songs ever made
No Because This song is by favorite the favorite because In Flames have MANY GREAT songs but as far as Melodic metal this is it... I wanted to Vote for the chosen Pessimist... But it would not be Fair if we were talking about melodic death metal... This song owns PERIOD.
If you put the song on headphones, and you close your eyes during the bridges, you feel the song surrounding you, it's amazing! The riff is just spectacular... To me this song is the top of the top when it comes to In Flames.
Colony (the album) was In Flames's peak, their Everest, before things started going downhill. This track has remained my favorite from them for 20 years. Glad to see lots of people voted it too.
WOW! That's the best In Flames song EVER! I love it! When I heard it for the first time, I said What?. Screw you Zombie Inc.! You cannot grasp the true form of Colony's attack! (Ace Ventura laughter)
Like Dude So True Shocked it was this High on the List at least some in flames fans have good taste
Greatest in flames song of all time with the riff and drum beat that makes you feel like you've just blown 5 lines of columbian.
What can I say, first time I heard the song I was thinking generic IF song, and then the absolute killer chorus kicks in! Hard to choose a favourite, but this is probably it! Unbelievably great song!
Listen to what's going on BEHIND the vocal melody in the chorus. Such an amazing and rare chord progression to hear in In Flames let alone metal. Gets me so pumped.
The first song I heard from In flames in 2004. Love at first sound and the love has grown so big that no one can break us. My heart belongs to in flames
Excellent lyrics. Cool melodies. Perfect beat. This is what In Flames is all about, hope their new albums were as good as the old ones though.
Moonshield
The only reason I didn't vote for this is because I think Behind Space pips it slightly. This song somehow manages to make death metal sound beautiful. It's such a shame this and other "classic" in flames songs never get played at their gigs any more..
What?! How come this isn't number one?! Damn, I loved this song ever since I was a kid, at least needs to be in the top ten!
Amazing songs, I can't stop listening it... The guitar is hypnotic, the voice is terrific, my favorite song.
My personnal favorite 100% pure Jesper gems. This album is amazing but moonsheild is still my favorite In Flames song.
Crawl Through Knives
Absolutely BRUTAL scream in the final chorus which tops off an unbelievably awesome song
Awesome lyrics... " If you could be the things I need I will crawl through knives an inch per tear "
This song is so good! How was it not a single!? It seems to be a lot of people's favorite.
Inflames are my favourite band and this song is my favourite.
Take This Life
One of the most epic songs of in flames, and most of the people get to know the band because of this song. In flames we trust!
This song speaks to me in a way of me living through it as a kid great lyrics great song
One of the first In Flames songs I fell in love with, so harsh and such a great chorus.
Finally, someone with some taste. I was trying to remember that song.
My Sweet Shadow
The perfect example of how inflames are able to utilize the different aspects of there sound, from the melodic guitar work to anders vocals and in this utilization create something of godly harmony.
Beautiful melody with fluid transitions as the song progresses. Love the blend of varied vocals throughout and hard-hitting, punchy drum-work. Love it.
Only for the weak does not deserve to be at the top spot. Suburban Me, form the same album as only for the weak, needs to be voted up too.
Simply awesome and great lyrics as well. It is hard too find a better song to finnish a live show anywhere
The fact that this is at #11 makes me want to set something on fire. Why is Take This Life above this again? I like that song too but Jotun destroys it and most other songs in this list.
By far their best work and probably the best Melodic Death Metal song ever written.
This is their best in my opinion. The intro, the chorus, beautiful.
This is the best metal song ever created on this earth
Cloud Connected
I think this is the best inflames song because every time I listen this song it takes me over the clouds and my reason to start listening inflames.
This is my favorite In Flames song. Heard this song somewhere and it got me hooked on these guys. Good song to start your day off too!
By far their best song! If you're looking for something to include in your playlist while working out...this is it!
Ooh crap! Need a paper towel now. (me at 15 first time I heard this song! )
Zombie Inc.
I had been lisening to In Flames for a year or so before I first heard this song. But wow. This is the best song the band have ever produced. Everything about is so damn good. The power and rhythm is out of this world and it has so many amazing parts to it. I mean, this is not a ordinary song. It is built in such a cool way with the verses, bridges and the small sticks. Man I am in love with this one, In Flames we trust
Exceptional guitar work, the bridge and chorus rhythm and lead guitars melt together so well and the overall song is highly melodic. The lyrical concept is thought provoking, and the song has an epic clean tone guitar solo. Personally, this is the best song on Colony and my favourite In Flames track.
I can't believe this is at 47! In my opinion the guitar solo is the best in the In Flames repertoire, which is certainly saying something! The rest of song is also brilliant, I think the best on the Colony album. Should definitely be higher.
This song is a beauty. I don't know which part is the bridge and which part is the chorus and it doesn't matter because both are so strong. Add in a rocking' guitar solo that comes in two phases and you've got a metal classic.
The Newcomers
? Drained
Artifacts of the Black Rain
The best riffs and melody in their discography. I wish it had a solo like in December Flower though. All the other albums are good, but nowhere near this. To bad the newer emo-ish songs are first in the list.
Jester Race is In Flames Magnum Opus, and still no songs from this album in the top 10?
For me, this is the best song In Flames ever recorded, amazing riffs, great lyrics, fantastic songwriting!
It's ridiculous that no songs on the Jester Race and only one song on Whoracle are in the top 10. I'm a fan of their newer work as well and have enjoyed every single album they have released but this song seriously has the probably the catchiest and most memorable riffs and some of the deepest lyrics they ever wrote.
This song is pretty amazing. It's very musically interesting to me while still being very poppy and catchy. Great melodies and guitar harmonies.
Ordinary Story
Nothing is more melody than this... A great in flames song and the piano work... Mind blowing... This is the number 1 and than comes the rest... Actually all in flames songs are great but this is 1
Deserves to at least be in the ranks of Only For The Weak, and Colony. Truly a beautiful song with very inspirational lyrics and themes. Far better than anything from Come Clarity.
This is the best one... even though I like more than 90% of in flames songs... but I would like 2 see ordinary story at 1st place... Great work of clean vocals and piano art.. in flace we trust
This is the pinnacle of In Flames. It is so absolutely heavy but yet still so catchy and melodic.
Clayman
Cone on that Chorus:
How come it's possible
I wish there was a way
I feel so invincible
I'm the sculpture made of clay!
And then perfectly screamed...
Underrated song, the band play this song barely, I don't know why, cause its one of their best songs
The best track on Clayman; I totally get why they decided to name the album after it.
This song is the best no doubt. So hard core.
The Quiet Place
This should definitely be higher (I mean WAY higher) up the list. It blends the BEST of vocals, headbang-able riffs and melody into a godlike song. This is what I show people when they ask me what makes melodic death metal different from other metal.
1. The Quiet Place
2. Only for the Weak
3. Crawl Through Knives
4. Take This Life
5. Fear is the Weakness
6. Trigger
7. Delight and Angers
8. The Mirror's Truth
9. Deliver Us
10. Come Clarity
By the way: Scream should be in top 25
How did this get so low?
This should be at least third or second best song of in flames.
I think before people vote they should actually listen to the other songs.
Really underrated... Amazing vocals, I'm rather surprised that it isn't higher up the list but then I found the order of the list rather surprising itself!
The chorus of this song is unbelievable. It just gives you goosebumps all over and that's when you know that you've found a great song. And this is definitely a great song. Probably my favorite out of all in flames songs.
Great song, it was at sound wave guys! I can not believe that it is so fare down on the list, it should at least be top 10. Come on guys only a few more votes and this amazing song will make it.
Great hook and the rest of the song delivers up. If someone is new to In Flames this is definitely one of the songs to let them listen to.
My sister and mother who listen to artists like Selena Gomez and One Direction loved this song. It's so catchy and beautiful.
Come Clarity
This was the first ever In Flames song I ever heard, and it still gives me shivers every time I listen to it. This song is the reason I listen to In Flames, there is just some sort of truth in this song that I love. In Flames We Trust.
This song is an absolute masterpiece. I can relate to the lyrics on so many levels... It has driven me to tears before. The melody, the chorus, absolutely everything about it is beautiful.
The song has a great intro and is sung with a choked voice done so well. The chorus has a simple guitar riff and a powerful message, obviously made with passion.
In Flames we trust. This is one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. And this must be number one. Lyrics, riff and vocal is amazing.
Pinball Map
Absolutely ridiculous song. The intro explodes in your face instantly, the fast pace, the breakdown, everything. Should be top 10.
My absolute favorite song from In flames! Right before Trigger and Crawling Through Knifes
Way too many post Clayman songs near the top.
I think this should be on the top ten list...great riffs and great lyrics...it deserves at least #5
Sounds of a Playground Fading
So underrated! This song combines great lyrics with an unbelievable good sound that catches you while the song start and as you continue listening the sound grows and a toughest sound takes place combining with the great voice and lyrics this band have
Bought this album after only hearing Scorn, and I loved this song from the first play.
Amazing song guys! So much underrated! Deserves to be at least in the top 3.
So underrated undoubtedly :3
The female vocals and Anders' screams make a wonderful composition on this song :o
The combo is epic, not like to old stuff but certainly great
Where the Dead Ships Dwell
Highly powerful vocals, insane guitar riffs super melodic and harmonic. it has to be at least top 3, together with The Mirror's Truth and Only for the Weak.
Are you sure people know how to vote on this site as this should be much higher? Along other great songs that sits below top 10...
Definitely my favorite IF song, really melodic and brings out their true potential. In flames we trust!
How come this song no. 33... It deseves No. 1... Best song of all time I guess
Suburban Me
Ever listened to thi song? There is no better IF song.
One of the best!
Great, underrated IF song
December Flower
The solo in this one is in my top 10 metal solos. The riff is also good, but the solo is incredible. Way better than the new stuff, which is also decent, but not exceptional. Too bad the list has the newer emo songs first.
This whole list is garbage so far laugh out loud. Make no mistake, this is their best song. Colony and zombies inc follow it and so does the jester race.
Comments about the solo in this song are correct. Best solo, one of the best guitar solos in melodic metal history, hands down.
#21 what? This is clearly the most powerful song and has got the best solo ever. It deserves to be in TOP 10!
The Jester Race
Is this a joke? Seriously when I started listening this band this song was my favourite and its still in top 5 songs in my opinion really soft beginning getting harder and then chorus takes you to brutal joy level..
To be honest I'm proud of this poll. There isn't all these idiots who are like "in flames old songs are the only good in flames, the real in flames! " BS your full of crap and your stuck in the past. Open your self to the new music! It's a great new style!
Jester Race album is by far their best album and this song lands in the top three tracks for me from that album. Good song, deserves to be in the top 15 at least.
This song is pretty underrated, I think. Like most of the Jester Race album, this title track is really good.
Coerced Coexistence
Unbelievable low ranking for this song. My favourite overall from In Flames
Totally agree with the top comment. The syntesizer and the guitar together in the beginning and I'm the chorus is so unique and happy! I feel like closing my eyes and singing along to this cheery song
Any 1 reading this should get this clear, this is the best headbanging song of in flames. Headbanging starts right from the moment the song starts. Great riffs, and vocals of course. You off mood just listen to this song
The song really sticks out from the rest of the album
The intro instantly grips you and takes your for a ride.

Returning to Roots: A New Book Highlights How Indigenous Practices Can Create More Sustainable Technology

Self-described designer, activist, academic, and author Julia Watson is trying to quash the boundary between native practices and technology in a new book that explores the ways indigenous wisdom can combat the high-tech approach to design and fighting climate change. In Lo—TEK Design by Radical Indigenism, Watson shares knowledge that transcends generations and cultures in an attempt to debunk the myth that indigenous approaches are primitive and far removed from current conceptions of technology. Throughout its more than 400 pages, the book explores ideas from 20 countries, including Peru, the Philippines, Tanzania, Kenya, Iran, Iraq, India, and Indonesia, about how to tackle more sustainable technology and design. It also contains a forward from anthropologist Wade Davis.
Watson founded Julia Watson Studio, an urban design studio, in addition to co-founding “A Future Studio,” described as a collective of conscious designers. She also teaches urban design at Harvard and Columbia University. Lo—TEK is scheduled to be released this month by Taschen.

Download More Than 300 Art Books From the Getty Museum's Virtual Library
“The Rosebud Garden of Girls” by Julia Cameron. Virtual Library title: “Julia Margaret Cameron: The Complete Photographs” by Julian Cox, Colin Ford, Joanne Lukitsh, and Philippa Wright
Over the last five years, the Los Angeles-based Getty Museum has developed a program to share more than three hundred books in its Virtual Library. Each unabridged volume, drawn from the Getty Publications Archive, has been cleared for copyright issues and is available for free download. Greg Albers, Digital Publications Manager for Getty Publications, shared with Hyperallergic that books in the Virtual Library have been downloaded 398,058 times to date. The initiative is a way to keep compelling and historically important books available even if they have, literally, gone out of print. Topics in the Virtual Library collection range from fine and decorative art genres to features on specific artists.

A Miniature Magazine Penned by Teenage Charlotte Brontë is (Finally) Acquired by the Famous Author's Namesake Museum
It’s often said that even the most successful people start small. What they probably don’t mean, though, is that to become an author equal to the timeless stature of Charlotte Brontë, you should pen a miniature magazine first. Yet Brontë did just that: in 1830, at age fourteen, she hand-wrote six issues of a petite periodical, one of which recently came up at auction for $777,000. The Young Men’s Magazine was a matchbook-sized series including stories and even advertisements of Brontë’s devising.
The Brontë Society placed the winning bid to acquire Brontë’s magazine, wresting it back from the Museum of Letters and Manuscripts, a now-shuttered for-profit (and fraud-ridden) venture that nabbed it in 2011. Learn more about the history and significance of The Young Men’s Magazine in the video below, which features Ann Dinsdale, the curator of the Brontë Parsonage Museum in Haworth, England.
Not Just For Bookworms: Helsinki's Oodi Central Library Connects Residents Through Multi-Faceted Cultural Resources
Readers, researchers, and other curious residents are encouraged to gather together in a massive new ship-shaped library in Helsinki, Finland. Designed by ALA Architects, Oodi Central Library, the long and narrow structure features a sweeping wooden exterior topped with two stories of glass walls. Oodi Central Library is situated in the heart of Helsinki, nestled in the capital city’s cultural district. About one-third of the space is dedicated to books. A cafe, restaurant, public balcony, movie theater, recording studios, and a maker-space broaden the institution’s ability to connect with, and serve the needs of, a diverse population.
The effort seems to have paid off: in the library’s first month about two-thirds of Helsinki’s residents visited the library, and it has had 3 million visitors so far in 2019, according to Tommi Laitio, Helsinki’s Executive Director for culture and leisure. Laitio explained in a recent conference talk in Washington, D.C. that it is essential in their small country for people to respect and invest in their fellow residents. “Our society is fundamentally dependent on people being able to trust the kindness of strangers.” (via Kottke)

Innovative Augmented Reality Book Merges Dance, Theater, Literature, and Technology
Adrien Mondot and Claire Bardainne, who work together as the Adrien M / Claire B Company (previously), explore the intersection of tangible and augmented reality in their multi-media projects. They recently launched a Kickstarter to support their latest project, Acqua Alta – Crossing the mirror. Acqua Alta turns a seemingly simple pop-up book into an animated black-and-white world. Two figures move through the pages, battling rainstorms and walking through doorways, all seen through the portal of a tablet or smartphone.
The duo tells Colossal that after their 2017 exhibition Mirages & miracles, they wanted to focus their efforts on an affordable medium at an intimate scale that still allowed for constructing volume. “After considering the AR algorithm, it was important to find a solution for the book to be a plane for each of the 10 double pages,” Mondot and Bardainne explain. “The magic happens only when the real space and the AR space are completely synced together.”
The duo was also working with a limited budget and limited professional experience with motion capture. In contrast to more specialized production companies with greater resources and established, Mondot and Bardainne were challenged by looking for smart and creative solutions to achieve the same results.
“It was very exciting to be at the border between many disciplines—theater, dance, but also comic books and animation,” Mondot and Bardainne share. “We are questioning the language: what does this medium allow us to express? Can we use part of the cinematographic language? Can we use some of the symbolic tools of the theater?”
You can support Acqua Alta on Kickstarter, where the book is available for preorder (it also comes with a free app for experiencing the AR). Explore more of Mondot and Bardainne’s interdisciplinary work on their website.
A Yellow Brick Road is Paved in Chicago to Mark Former Home of 'Wizard of Oz' Author L. Frank Baum
Photographs: Bickerdike
Follow the yellow brick road to 1667 N. Humboldt Boulevard in Chicago. The address is home to recently rehabbed affordable housing in the rapidly gentrifying Humboldt Park neighborhood. It’s also where author L. Frank Baum penned “The Wizard of Oz” in 1899 (though the author’s residence has since been demolished). The 70-foot long section of sidewalk is now paved with yellow bricks, a nod to one of the most famous stories in American popular culture, thanks to nonprofit developer Bickerdike. An upright rounded wall will also feature an Oz-themed mural commission from Chicago-based artist Hector Duarte.
In an interview with Block Club Chicago, Bickerdike clarified that the whimsical touches were not part of the core affordable housing budget; the project partners including the architect, general contractor, an an outside foundation paid for it out of pocket. (via Block Club Chicago)

Animation Documentary
Bloomers: An Animated Documentary Recounts the History Behind an Undergarment Business
Consumers are paying closer attention to the ethics and business practices behind the products they buy, and animated documentarian Samantha Moore is shining a light on one company creating everyday essentials. Last year, the Shropshire-based creator released “Bloomers,” a short film that chronicles the history of the Manchester-based lingerie company Ella and Me, which began production in the United Kingdom before moving abroad and back again.
From flowing silk to lace-trimmed underwear strung up only to be snipped apart, the detailed project colors mostly the garments, swaths of fabric, and spindles of string. The workers and machines remain black-and-white line drawings throughout the film as it walks through the manufacturing cycle from design to consumer purchases.
Moore helps illuminate the impacts rising production costs had on Ella and Me since its beginning as a mom-and-pop business. She documents its inception and even the employees’s familial connections to the textile industry. The animation is set to a diverse soundtrack that includes interviews with the company’s team, in addition to noises commonly found on the production room floor, like scissors slicing through soft cotton and the repetitive tick of sewing machines.
Since its release, “Bloomers” was nominated for the Best Short Film at the British Animation Awards 2020, was the winner of the Best British Film at London International Animation Festival 2019, and took home the top prize as the Best Documentary at ReAnima International Film Festival 2019. Keep up with Moore’s animated documentaries on Vimeo and Instagram.
Mechanations: Historical Machines Exploded into Individual Components in Sculptures by John A. Peralta

Artist John Peralta creates sculptural odes to some of our most historic innovations by organizing and suspending components of sewing machines, typewriters, and old film projectors. In his “Mechanations,” Peralta hangs each screw, wheel, and lightbulb side-by-side in specially created lightboxes, creating three-dimensional diagrams which illuminate the inner workings of each machine.
The sculptures break down the mechanics of the 20th-century devices, presenting a unique peek into the simplicity of objects before the Digital Revolution. Peralta dissects iconic machines in areas such as design, communication, and entertainment. This technique, which he has used for over a decade, was inspired by seeing a similar sculptural diagram on the back of a Chinese magazine in 2005. “I was inspired by its fragile beauty, and imagined a three-dimensional version with a real object,” Peralta outlines on his website. “Using only a ruler and simple tools, which I still use today, I developed techniques for suspension which expose the inner workings of these humble mechanical objects.”
The artist’s work will be included in a presentation by New York and Los Angeles-based gallery George Billis at the upcoming SOFA fair from November 1-4, 2018 at Chicago’s Navy Pier. Peralta also has a solo show at Billis’ New York location, which runs from December 11, 2018 to January 12, 2019. You can see more of Peralta’s work on his website and Instagram.

Textile Sculptures Created From Dozens of Multicolored Orbs by Serena Garcia Dalla Venezia
Chilean textile artist Serena Garcia Dalla Venezia creates thoughtfully composed arrangements of hand-sewn fabric balls, producing texture and depth by grouping together dozens of differently sized and shaped spheres. Appearing almost like organic growths, her works seem to be transforming before your eyes, which makes sense when you consider her fascination with accumulation and chaos. You can see more of Venezia’s smaller works and large-scale installations on her website. (via The Jealous Curator)

Favorite Place: An Embroidered Stop-Motion Music Video for Black Books by Christophe Thockler
Is this the first music video made exclusively with embroidery and sewing implements? I’m gambling yes. Directed, filmed, and produced by Christophe Thockler the clip uses 10,000 photographs of needles, thread, cloth and embroidery, mixed with clever lighting techniques to produce a fun video for Favorite Place, the latest track by US pop rock band Black Books.

ESTATES, TRUSTS & WILLS
LAND COMPENSATION CLAIMS (PUBLIC WORK)
Published: 2 Apr, 2020 by Samuel Ames
Issues for Trusts during the Covid-19 lockdown
In this article we highlight some of the current issues relating to trusts and in the private client space more generally.
Issues for Trusts with Commercial Properties
A key issue in the trusts space arises for those trusts that are in business and rely on rental income as their main source of income, such commercial trusts. We are not aware of any income relief currently being offered by the Government for commercial/trading trusts in the businesses of leasing properties. On the flipside however, relief may be available to tenants by way of employer support or a wage subsidy so that they are able to continue paying their rent. Trustees of commercial trusts will need to engage with tenants and advisors to address issues around current rent payments and set expectations around when full rent is to be paid. For further information about the impact of COVID-19 on commercial leases read here and see here for information about Force Majeure clauses.
Trusts with Residential Rental Properties
The Government has announced that rent levels in the case of residential tenancies will be frozen for half a year due to the spread of the coronavirus in New Zealand. This means that the rent under a residential tenancy cannot be increased during this time. What does that mean for those who are living in a rental property? Firstly, if tenants have lost their jobs and need support, they should talk to their landlord or property manager as soon as possible to work out a payment plan or to see what financial support is available to them. Secondly, unless the tenant has come to an agreement with their landlord, rent still needs to be paid during the lockdown period and during the six-month freeze.
Trustees will need to take advice from their property manager or engage with their tenants directly in regards to whether a concession as to rent for affected tenants may be made. The lease needs to be checked carefully before coming to any agreement. Again, Government relief may be available to tenants and this should be taken into account when negotiating with the tenant.
Further measures have been implemented by the government to prevent the termination of tenancies during the lockdown period to facilitate self-isolation and staying at home requirements. Tenancies will not be terminated during the lock-down period, unless the parties agree, or in very limited circumstances. Tenants who had previously given notice to terminate the tenancy can revoke their termination notice if they need to stay in the tenancy for the lockdown period however, tenants can still terminate the tenancy if they wish. Fixed term and periodic tenancies will not end unless specific grounds apply, for example the tenant wishes that the tenancy to comes to an end.
Luckily, the traditional family trust is largely unaffected by the current pandemic situation however, there may be restrictions in carrying out some aspects of trust administration. Much of the ordinary trust administration such as signing trustee resolutions and reviewing financial accounts can continue; however, access to a scanner or ability to sign on-screen will be needed as face-to-face contact should be avoided and non-essential postal services are on hold.
Other Private Client Matters
The current lockdown environment means that any face to face contact with clients (in person) is not permissible and this is creating roadblocks in the case of documents that need to be signed in person or require a witness. In the case of wills, which are arguably an “essential” document, two people who are independent of the will maker must be physically present when the will is signed. Conceivably, it would be possible for, say, two neighbours to witness the will being signed from their veranda or through a window. The will could then be signed and the pages initialled by each of the witnesses keeping the necessary physically distance. The same approach could be used for Enduring Powers of Attorney documents. However, this could easily be a breach of the ‘bubble’ rule and involves people from different households coming near each other. At all times the safety of ourselves and the people around us must be paramount and front of mind.
It may not be possible to sign a will or other document that requires a witness at this time however, your written will instructions or draft will approved by you could be used as evidence of your wishes in the event you pass away before a will is signed.
In the UK a major overhaul of probate legislation is on the agenda as the government is urgently looking to change the requirements around witnessing wills in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak. No such initiatives are currently under review by the New Zealand Parliament however, the New Zealand Law Society is keeping the coronavirus situation under review and monitoring the advice it receives from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office.
On a slightly more positive note, these challenging times are requiring us to think even more creatively as we work with our clients to continue to meet their legal needs.

We often receive e-mails from Leaving Cert and International Students wondering what it is like to study Medicine at UCD.
Unfortunately we do not always get the opportunity to reply to every quiery. This page is designed to answer some of the most common questions that we receive.
If you have further questions click here:
APPLYING TO UCD
Questions about the criteria and processes for graduate entry and international students applying to UCD should be directed to the school of Medicine (Their site).
For Irish Leaving Cert students, applying for Medicine at UCD is done through the CAO system like all other courses. However the points system is a little different. Your 'Medicine Points' are a combination of your Leaving Cert results and your HPAT results.
The HPAT is an exam held in February designed to test your logical and emotional reasoning. It is a multiple choice exam broken into 3 sections. It is worth a theoretical 300 'Medicine points', however no one every scoers anywhere near that but it is generally considered that about 180+ can be considered a good score that (with a high leaving cert score) should get you in and around the points required, but this can vary from year to year.
The HPAT is a very tricky exam, and no past papers are available and no one really knows how it is graded. However in preparation for the HPAT most students would either subscribe to online resources or receive HPAT grinds in order to familiarize themselves with what they will face.
The points you get from your leaving cert work slightly different to other courses. If your points total exceed 550, then for every additional 5 CAO points, you only get one additional 'Medicine Point'. For example 580 CAO Points = 550 + (30/5) = 556 Medicine points.
So for example a student with 560 leaving cert points and a HPAT score of 184
10/5 = 2, 550 + 2 + 184 = 736 (The cut-off in 2014)
In September, the society will be organising a talk on the HPAT that will be held in UCD Belfield. Follow us on Social Media to get updates.
UCD is Ireland's 'international university' and Medicine is one of, if not the most, international courses. About 75% of entrants into PreMed come through the Irish school system, with the rest coming mostly from Canada, The United States, The United Kingdom, The Middle East, Africa, East Asia in fact practically anywhere.
In 1st Med, a large number of students from Malaysia arrive and stay for 2 and a half years before returning to Malaysia to complete their degrees.
COURSE STRUCTURE IN THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE
Teaching is split between lecture, small group tutorial and lab based learning.
Each semester you have 5 core modules, which each have 2-4 hours of lectures a week depending on the course.Each module is like a stand alone subject like 'Medical Genetics' or 'Cardiac Biology'. Every member of your class will be scheduled for the same lecture at the same time, and sometimes you can share lectures with other courses so they can get packed, but attendance isn't mandatory so there is usually plenty of space.
For an idea of what you learn in each year, Click Here:
The lecturers in UCD are of a very high standard. The staff is vey international and most have a wealth of either research or clinical experience. UCD is great in its use of technology. All lecture halls are fitted with modern Audiovisual equipment and the vast majority of lecturers will post lecture notes and other details of their course online for students to view.
Each module has its own exam, and you receive an individual grade from each module that contribute to your overall Grade Point Average or GPA.
Examination varies by subject but most involve some form of continuous assessment, be that group projects, verbal presentations or mid-term exams. Final exams tend to be a mix of both essay questions and multiple choice questions which sometimes have negative marking for incorrect answers.
In addition, each year students must sit two elective subjects. These can be effectively any course offered by any school in the university, and are an opportunity to learn a foreign language, explore a subject tha interests you, examine a particular specialish branch of medicine or just take an easy subject to boost your GPA.
Practicals are an important part of the teaching in UCD, particularly in the older years. From 1st Med you begin to do dissections in the cadaver labs. Clinical skills are taught in special clinical skills classrooms, where you learn about examination techniques and technologies mostly by testing them out on each other. One thing that UCD is shifting away from is old-school techniques like looking at slides down a microscope, replacing them with computer assisted labs instead.
Many modules have small group tutorials, where in groups of 10-15 you discuss particular aspects of the module with one of the lecturers and gives you a chance to ask questions and improve your understanding. These vary in frequency from module to module.
Hospital Based Learning
UCD's main teaching hospitals are St. Vincent's University Hospital and the Mater University Hospital, two of Ireland's largest and best institutions.
Students will also be expected to do rotations in smaller regional and specialist hospitals as well which may include:
The National Maternity Hospital, Holles St.
Our Lady's Children's Hospital, Crumlin
Mullingar General Hospital
Wexford General Hospital
Mayo General Hospital, Castlebar
The Beacon Hospital, Sandyford
The Royal Hospital, Donnybrook
St. Michael's Hospital, Dun Laoghaire
and a number of others
Students in their first year of studying at UCD are able to live on campus in one of the multiple Residences.
The price and consequently standard varies from residence to residence, for more information on this we reccomend you view UCD's official website.
Priority is given to new students, scholarship students, students with disabilities, final year students and visiting students from other institutions. There are usually additional spaces for students in other years as well as there is a large quantity of apartments.
Rent for the year includes wifi, electricity, heating, waste disposal and water costs.
UCD has just recently completed a number of new apartment blocks in a new residence block, increasing its capacity which will create more places for next year.
Accommodation away from the campus is generally less expensive, however the rental market in all of Dublin is still much higher than the rest of the country and other major European cities, particularly on the southside of the county (near UCD). Students often find housing in nearby areas such as Rathmines, Clonskeagh, Goatstown, Mount Merrion and Ranelagh.
UCD has probably the best facilities of any third level institution in Ireland. The campus is extremely modern and there is always something being built.
The school of Medicine is housed in the ultra-modern Health Sceinces Building, which contains
spacious comfortable lecture theatres
multiple computer labs
dissection labs
classrooms specifically designed for teaching clinical skills
tutorial classrooms
a fake ward, complete with 'dummy' patients (which you never really use but it's just cool to have)
It is also where you will find the Health Science Library, which houses every medical textbook and journal you will ever need during your time in UCD, and plenty of open space to study.
UCD has a number of other libraries, most notably the James Joyce, which is absolutely huge. Taking up its own building and housing the library's general collection, including many of the scientific texts you require during the early years of Medicine, as well as everything from Accounting to Zoology, includign a half deent DVD collection.
UCD is Ireland's premier sporting University. Its sernior rugby team compete in the highest Irish division, while the soccer team qualified for the UEFA Europa League in 2015 and are the only university to compete at the top levels of the national league.
GAA is massive in UCD, UCD ae the current College's All-Ireland Champions in Gaelic Football, and lost out in the semi-finals of the hurling.
UCD fosters a lot of high performance talent, and many of its students represented Ireland at the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
UCD has a club and both men's and women's teams for practically every sport you can imagine, from archery to lacrosse to water polo. The biggger sports like rugby, GAA, football etc. would have multiple teams for players of every level.
UCD also has 3 Gyms open to students known as the 'Main Gym', which is massive and takes outside members, he 'Performance Gym' a relatively smaller but still quite large area with a focus on strength trainign equipment, and the the 'Team Gym' which is supposed to be only for those playing a sport with a UCD team. There is also an olympic length swimming pool.
The School of Medicine and MedSoc have many of their own sporting activities. Medical students can play for our teaching hospitals - St. Vincents, and the Mater - in the Hospitals Cup, a rugby competition between Dublin Hospitals. MedSoc organises many sporting activities through out the year, most notably the MedSoc ski trip, but also tag rugby, football and basketball.
UCD campus is effectively like a medium sized town with everything you could need available on campus including a bank, numerous restaurant and cafes, the student bar, shops for food, a post office, a cinema, a theatre, pharmacy and many more services.
UCD has a vibrant student society scene, with something for all tastes. Practically every week you can attend or take part in debates, musicals, plays, lectures from guest speakers, poker nights, video games nights.. you name it, there is a society for it,

Britains Got Talent – An Interview With Jolyon Palmer
By Vince Pettit
Formula Two heads to Brands Hatch this weekend, we took the time to catch up with one of Britain’s rising stars who just so happens to be leading the championship at the moment, Jolyon Palmer.
It’s been quite a rise to prominence for Palmer, who having worked his way up through Karting, T Cars, Formula Audi moved to Formula Two in 2009. After what was a mediocre season only scoring 3 points from 16 races the son of ex-F1 driver Jonathon Palmer upped his game over the winter.
Speaking to thecheckeredflag.co.uk we asked him if he expected he would be doing so well this year: “Thought I could do well as winter testing was a real turning point for me and I started climbing the time sheets.”
Despite dominating a lot of this years races the 19-year-old has surprised even himself. “I am very surprised to be doing as well as I am doing, but now I am more confident and feel I can continue good form.”
Good form is something he will definitely be looking to carry on as the FIA-backed championship heads to Great Britain.
“Winning at my home race is the obvious target,” says Palmer, “but now I need to look more at the bigger picture so if I don't win but I manage to extend my championship lead then that will still be a good weekend.”
Despite the great results of the year which has left Palmer leading the championship by 26 points, nearest rival Dean Stoneman is closing in.
“Dean Stoneman has been quick all year and is my championship rival.” admits Palmer.
Asked about his other rivals for the weekend ahead he replied: “Will Bratt was very quick in testing and other drivers like Jack Clarke, Benjamin Bailly and Kazim Vasiliaskas have all started to hit form as well, so it is hard to tell at the moment.”
Looking back over the season so far Palmer has a total of four wins and eight podiums, asked about his favourite race of the year he replied:” Definitely Monza weekend was the best of my career so far. 2 Poles and 2 wins. Silverstone was special as it was my first win and also Portimao looked like it was going to be as good as Monza until I had a problem with the tracking in race 2.”
In the build up to the World Touring Car Championship / Formula Two double header at Brands Hatch Palmer swapped cars with touring car ace Rob Huff, something he felt was a good experience.
“I was pleasantly surprised with the touring car, whilst the power wasn't anything like what I'm used to, it was fun to drive, it moved around a lot and had excellent brakes. Very enjoyable to try something new and I hadn't driven a tin top since my T Car days in 2006.”
Although it seems that Palmer is well on his way to a successful single-seater career we asked him if he would ever consider a switch to World Touring Cars.
“Single seaters is all I'm thinking about at the moment. WTCC is a great championship and having driven Rob's Chevrolet I can see how fun a race with 20 something cars would be, however single seaters is my aim and I'm closer than ever to fulfilling my dream of driving a Formula 1 car.”

Strong Signs For British Motorsport At Autosport International
By James Charman
The World of Motorsport had all eyes on the first day of Autosport International 2014 as a range of major projects broke cover at the NEC in Birmingham.
Over 30,000 motorsport professionals are expected to attend the show, with international guests joining the British motorsport community to kick 2014 off in the best fashion possible. Doors open to the public tomorrow (Saturday).
The extent of motorsport to the UK economy was highlighted with the release of new data about its growth. Figures compiled and released by the Motorsport Industry Association show that Britain’s Motorsport Valley generated £9billion in sales in 2012, up £4.6billion since 2000.
“Our motorsport industry represents some of the best of British talent and ingenuity and it is imperative that we provide the right conditions so it continues to thrive,” said Business Minister Michael Fallon. “That is why we are investing £1 billion jointly with industry to ensure companies across the automotive sector have the support they need to develop the technologies of the future.”
A number of new projects were also unveiled at the show, including Zenos Cars’ first model, the E10. Zenos marks the new venture for former Caterham Cars CEO Ansar Ali and COO Mark Edwards, with the E10 being a track-focused, road legal open-top, two seater powered by a 200bhp engine, weighing just 650kg and covering 0-60mph in under five seconds. The car will be available from just £24,995.
“It’s been a huge day for Zenos Cars,” co-founder Ali said. “As a major event for the UK sports car industry, Autosport International is a great place to make the E10’s presence known. We’re really glad to be here, and hopefully by the end of the four days more people will be familiar with the Zenos brand.”
Local race preparation company JRM also took the opportunity to unveil a brand-new Group N specification WRX STI rally car at the show, signalling a partnership with Subaru Tecnica International, Subaru’s motorsport arm. Meanwhile, Ford introduced the Radical RXC Turbo, following the launch of the RXC twelve months earlier.
“It’s been a fantastic day to start Autosport International 2014, with a host of major projects among the new technology on display and members of the global motorsport industry on hand,” said Ian France, Autosport International Show Director. “As evidenced by the latest figures released by the MIA documenting the on-going growth of the UK motorsport sector, the industry is in a very healthy state and that’s represented by the atmosphere within halls at the show about the year ahead.”

Formula Renault 2.0 NEC
Ye Celebrates Maiden Formula Renault 2.0 Victories in Germany
Credit: Gregory Eyckmans
Yifei Ye secured his first two Formula Renault 2.0 victories last weekend at the Hockenheimring, winning both races of the Northern European Cup finale.
The Josef Kaufmann Racing driver had secured two pole positions in tricky qualifying conditions on Friday, and then dominated both Saturday races, beating team-mate Sacha Fenestraz into second place twice.
The seventeen-year-old Chinese racer, the 2016 French F4 Champion, has often played second fiddle to Fenestraz in 2017, so it was a great way to end the NEC season with the two wins, and he praised his team for giving him and his team-mate the car to fight at the front all weekend long.
“I have to give a lot of credit to the team who gave us such fantastic cars to race, it was a very positive weekend – a double pole and double victory – so I’m very happy about that,” said Ye.
“After two brilliant qualifying sessions yesterday, our mindset was to bring the cars home first and second for the team.”
Fenestraz was left with too much work to do to take the win after dropping from second on the grid to third at the start of race one, and by the time he had found his way passed Richard Verschoor, Ye was out of reach.
In race two, he attempted to attack Ye from the start, but found the Chinese racer a tough nut to crack, and he was again forced to settle for second.
“The start was a little bit hard, I think the right side was a bit dirty,” said Fenestraz. “And then with Richard, it was a little bit hard to overtake him, since he was quite fast at the beginning.
“Once I’d gotten past I just had to try to do my best, go as fast as possible and then try to catch up Yifei, but like yesterday he did an amazing job and was really fast.
“I preferred to just take some more experience in a race situation and keep that second place until the end.”

Western Tech Firms Give Up Tech Secrets for Access to Russian Market
By June
Published June 24, 2017 at 10:47am
Russia is a relatively untapped tech market and U.S. and Western tech companies are routinely sharing sensitive product info with Russian agencies in order to access the market.
Russian officials call for tech companies to give them their source codes for security products like firewalls, anti-virus apps, and encrypted software before allowing these products to be sold in the country.
A Reuters investigation recently revealed that several American/Western firms (from Cisco, IBM, SAP, and more) agreed to give the Russian Federal Security Service their sensitive information.
Reuters reports:
While a number of U.S. firms say they are playing ball to preserve their entree to Russia’s huge tech market, at least one U.S. firm, Symantec, told Reuters it has stopped cooperating with the source code reviews over security concerns. That halt has not been previously reported.
Symantec said one of the labs inspecting its products was not independent enough from the Russian government.
U.S. officials say they have warned firms about the risks of allowing the Russians to review their products’ source code, because of fears it could be used in cyber attacks. But they say they have no legal authority to stop the practice unless the technology has restricted military applications or violates U.S. sanctions.
From their side, companies say they are under pressure to acquiesce to the demands from Russian regulators or risk being shut out of a lucrative market. The companies say they only allow Russia to review their source code in secure facilities that prevent code from being copied or altered. (Graphic on source code review process: tmsnrt.rs/2sZudWT)
The demands are being made by Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB), which the U.S. government says took part in the cyber attacks on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign and the 2014 hack of 500 million Yahoo email accounts. The FSB, which has denied involvement in both the election and Yahoo hacks, doubles as a regulator charged with approving the sale of sophisticated technology products in Russia.

House votes to impeach President Trump a second time

View More ELECTION 2020 Articles
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump was impeached by the U.S. House for a historic second time Wednesday, charged with “incitement of insurrection” over the deadly mob siege of the Capitol in a swift and stunning collapse of his final days in office.
With the Capitol secured by armed National Guard troops inside and out, the House voted 232-197 to impeach Trump. The proceedings moved at lightning speed, with lawmakers voting just one week after violent pro-Trump loyalists stormed the U.S. Capitol, egged on by the president’s calls for them to “fight like hell” against the election results.
Ten Republicans fled Trump, joining Democrats who said he needed to be held accountable and warned ominously of a “clear and present danger” if Congress should leave him unchecked before Democrat Joe Biden’s inauguration Jan. 20.
Trump is the only U.S. president to be twice impeached.
The Capitol insurrection stunned and angered lawmakers, who were sent scrambling for safety as the mob descended, and it revealed the fragility of the nation’s history of peaceful transfers of power. The riot also forced a reckoning among some Republicans, who have stood by Trump throughout his presidency and largely allowed him to spread false attacks against the integrity of the 2020 election.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi invoked Abraham Lincoln and the Bible, imploring lawmakers to uphold their oath to defend the Constitution from all enemies, foreign “and domestic.”
She said of Trump: “He must go, he is a clear and present danger to the nation that we all love.”
Holed up at the White House, watching the proceedings on TV, Trump took no responsibility for the bloody riot seen around the world, but issued a statement urging “NO violence, NO lawbreaking and NO vandalism of any kind” to disrupt Biden’s ascension to the White House.
In the face of the accusations against him and with the FBI warning of more violence, Trump said, “That is not what I stand for, and it is not what America stands for. I call on ALL Americans to help ease tensions and calm tempers.”
Trump was first impeached by the House in 2019 over his dealings with Ukraine, but the Senate voted in 2020 acquit. He is the first to be impeached twice. None has been convicted by the Senate, but Republicans said Wednesday that could change in the rapidly shifting political environment as officeholders, donors, big business and others peel away from the defeated president.
The soonest Republican Senate leader Mitch McConnell would start an impeachment trial is next Tuesday, the day before Trump is already set to leave the White House, McConnell’s office said. The legislation is also intended to prevent Trump from ever running again.
McConnell believes Trump committed impeachable offenses and considers the Democrats’ impeachment drive an opportunity to reduce the divisive, chaotic president’s hold on the GOP, a Republican strategist told The Associated Press on Wednesday.
McConnell told major donors over the weekend that he was through with Trump, said the strategist, who demanded anonymity to describe McConnell’s conversations.
In a note to colleagues Wednesday, McConnell said he had “not made a final decision on how I will vote.”
Unlike his first time, Trump faces this impeachment as a weakened leader, having lost his own reelection as well as the Senate Republican majority.
Even Trump ally Kevin McCarthy, the House Republican leader, shifted his position and said Wednesday the president bears responsibility for the horrifying day at the Capitol.
In making a case for the “high crimes and misdemeanors” demanded in the Constitution, the four-page impeachment resolution approved Wednesday relies on Trump’s own incendiary rhetoric and the falsehoods he spread about Biden’s election victory, including at a rally near the White House on the day of the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
A Capitol Police officer died from injuries suffered in the riot, and police shot and killed a woman during the siege. Three other people died in what authorities said were medical emergencies. The riot delayed the tally of Electoral College votes that was the last step in finalizing Biden’s victory.
Ten Republican lawmakers, including third-ranking House GOP leader Liz Cheney of Wyoming, voted to impeach Trump, cleaving the Republican leadership, and the party itself.
Cheney, whose father is the former Republican vice president, said of Trump’s actions summoning the mob that “there has never been a greater betrayal by a President” of his office.
Trump was said to be livid with perceived disloyalty from McConnell and Cheney.
With the team around Trump hollowed out and his Twitter account silenced by the social media company, the president was deeply frustrated that he could not hit back, according to White House officials and Republicans close to the West Wing who weren’t authorized to speak publicly about private conversations.
From the White House, Trump leaned on Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina to push Republican senators to resist, while chief of staff Mark Meadows called some of his former colleagues on Capitol Hill.
The president’s sturdy popularity with the GOP lawmakers’ constituents still had some sway, and most House Republicans voted not to impeach.
Security was exceptionally tight at the Capitol, with tall fences around the complex. Metal-detector screenings were required for lawmakers entering the House chamber, where a week earlier lawmakers huddled inside as police, guns drawn, barricade the door from rioters.
“We are debating this historic measure at a crime scene,” said Rep. Jim McGovern, D-Mass.
During the debate, some Republicans repeated the falsehoods spread by Trump about the election and argued that the president has been treated unfairly by Democrats from the day he took office.
Other Republicans argued the impeachment was a rushed sham and complained about a double standard applied to his supporters but not to the liberal left. Some simply appealed for the nation to move on.
Rep. Tom McClintock of California said, “Every movement has a lunatic fringe.”
Yet Democratic Rep. Jason Crow, D-Colo. and others recounted the harrowing day as rioters pounded on the chamber door trying to break in. Some called it a “coup” attempt.
Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., contended that Trump was “capable of starting a civil war.”
Conviction and removal of Trump would require a two-thirds vote in the Senate, which will be evenly divided. Republican Sen. Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania joined Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska over the weekend in calling for Trump to “go away as soon as possible.”
Fending off concerns that an impeachment trial would bog down his first days in office, Biden is encouraging senators to divide their time between taking taking up his priorities of confirming his nominees and approving COVID-19 relief while also conducting the trial.
The impeachment bill draws from Trump’s own false statements about his election defeat to Biden. Judges across the country, including some nominated by Trump, have repeatedly dismissed cases challenging the election results, and former Attorney General William Barr, a Trump ally, has said there was no sign of widespread fraud.
The House had first tried to persuade Vice President Mike Pence and the Cabinet to invoke their authority under the 25th Amendment to remove Trump from office. Pence declined to do so, but the House passed the resolution anyway.
The impeachment bill also details Trump’s pressure on state officials in Georgia to “find” him more votes.
While some have questioned impeaching the president so close to the end of his term, there is precedent. In 1876, during the Ulysses Grant administration, War Secretary William Belknap was impeached by the House the day he resigned, and the Senate convened a trial months later. He was acquitted.

Microsoft launches Teams to take on Slack
Edward C. Baig
NEW YORK—Microsoft hopes to outflank Slack, the workplace communications app that it reportedly considered buying, with a new team-focused chat-based workspace built around Office 365.
CEO Satya Nadella announced Microsoft Teams, as the collaborative service is being called, at an event Wednesday in New York City.
"Today's announcement is core to our mission of empowering every person to achieve more," said Nadella, who a week ago was here announcing a new suite of enterprise-focused hardware and software tools.
"In a world that abounds with information, what's scarce is human attention and time," he said. "This paradox is what drives us. Work is about people and teams of people."
Microsoft shares (MSFT) slipped 0.6% to $59.43 Wednesday. Shares hit an all-time high of more than $60 last month following a quarterly report that was better than investors expected.
Nadella is almost three years into a stewardship marked by a mission to transform the storied tech company from software peddler to a nimble cloud-first business focused on the needs of business enterprises.
As Microsoft preps Slack rival, Slack goes on offensive
Microsoft Teams looks an awful lot like Slack, which was founded in 2013 by Stewart Butterfield. The resemblance was so pointed that San Francisco-based Slack took out a full page advertisement in The New York Times on Wednesday, offering some "friendly advice."
In both cases, the platforms give teams of workers the ability to keep a running thread of text-based chatter that can be archived. The idea is that an employee can get up to speed quickly on a group's progress by reading through a list of recent messages.
Slack's boom was due in part to email's evolution from novelty to tyranny, with in-boxes often overwhelmed with a mix of important and useless communications.
What happens to Yammer?
Microsoft's initial stab at enterprise-based communications tool came with its 2012 purchase of Yammer for $1.2 billion. But the standalone service never caught fire and its shortcomings were highlighted by the sudden popularity of Slack's service. While Yammer Enterprise goes away with the advent of Teams, Yammer itself will remain integrated with Office 365.
But by having the CEO announce Teams, Microsoft is signaling that it now hopes to provide its business customers with a solution that's on a par with Slack.
Teams is launching in preview mode in 181 countries and in 18 localized languages. The service, which will be made available to the small businesses and larger enterprises using Office 365, won’t be generally available until the first quarter of 2017. Microsoft says it has 85 million monthly active users for Office 365 on the commercial side of its business.
For its part, Slack says four million people are using its service daily, up from 3 million as recently as May. And more than 33,000 teams in companies large and small are using Slack.
Bots will save us from info overload, Slack and Box CEOs say
Patrick Moorhead, analyst with Moor Insights & Strategy, applauded Microsoft for challenging Slack at its own game and announcing a product that was ready for a global rollout.
"Unlike previous Office threats, Microsoft is getting ahead of the curve and not waiting for services like Slack to siphon off meaningful customers like Google for Work, now GSuite, did in the early days," he said. He said Teams incorporates Microsoft's previous acquisitions such as Skype and Yammer and takes advantage of its continuing work on machine-learning bots.
If Microsoft can keep up with the kind of services that work on Slack and maintain its Office 365 pricing model, "Slack could likely be at risk of decreased growth as they no longer have a giant utility lead," he said.
Microsoft had Slack in its crosshairs, according to an unnamed source quoted by TechCrunch. Microsoft reportedly considered an $8 billion bid for Slack last winter, before pulling out in part because of opposition from co-founder Bill Gates.
Teams collaborators access Word, Excel, PowerPoint
Similar to Slack, under Microsoft Teams, groups at work will be able to organize themselves into channels, or private groups. One channel, say, could be for marketers who are collaborating on a product launch.
In group chats Teams will let employees employ emojis, stickers, GIFs and custom memes. And teammates can keep everything out in the open or as need be go private.
“Beyond delivering modern chat capabilities we also think about Microsoft Teams as really being quite deeply integrated into Office itself, as a hub for teamwork," says Kirk Koenigsbauer, Microsoft’s corporate vice president for Office. That means giving collaborators easy access to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, Yammer, Skype and other programs.
Microsoft also promises support for bots out of the gate.
“We don’t think that there’s a single tool to get work done. We think businesses need a universal toolkit," Koenigsbauer says.
Microsoft also announced a Teams preview program for developers and says more than more than 100 partners are already participating, including Zendesk, Asana, Hootsuite, and Intercom.
Aaron Levie, CEO of Box, a longtime Microsoft cloud storage partner said he was "excited about the potential to build even further on our partnership with Microsoft and integrate with Teams, just as we currently do with Office 365."
At the New York event, early preview customers Hendrick Motorsports, Accenture, Alaska Airlines, joined Microsoft on stage. In a blog post, Accenture CIO Andrew Wilson, said that “we believe it is the digital cockpit we’ve been waiting for.”
Koenigsbauer is certainly mindful of the competition that may come from Slack. “What we’re trying to do is something a little bit different. We don’t just want to introduce a new chat tool. We think this notion of bringing this together in a digital workspace that feels like a modern open office…with a conversation experience, is pretty unique.”
He says that Teams might incorporate as few as five or six coworkers or go on up to groups that number 150 or more.
Microsoft has various Office 365 offerings for businesses. A small business-oriented Office 365 suite costs $5 per user per month. One of the company’s more popular enterprise plans goes for $20 per user per month.
Microsoft shares surge past 1999 high
Nadella made his pitch for Teams by comparing business collaboration with the interplay between musicians and athletes, which often differs depending on the musical genre or sport.
"A symphony works as one bound together by a score but each focused on their own instrument, while in jazz the score is merely a hint of what's possible for the musicians," said Nadella. "Or in my favorite sport, cricket, I've always been amazed who this team of specialists performs brilliantly as individuals with a coordinated set of strategy and tactics."
Stumping for Teams, Nadella added that "it's all about finding the right tools that drive collaboration, and the same is true for business."

1925 $1 Peace Silver Dollar - NGC MS66
Buy Silver Coins
Ever since silver was discovered, it has fascinated human beings. The gorgeous white metal is known the world over as a precious element and is used in everything from jewelry to current modern technology. Its conductivity is extremely high and is found in lodes or mines the world over.
Silver American Eagle Coins
Released in 1986, the Silver American Eagle coin carries a face value of $1 but is worth much more than that thanks to the 99.9% silver composition. Produced in three different mints throughout its history, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and West Point, this coin is produced in a bullion version and as an uncirculated proof. The initial design was created by Adolph A. Weinman in 1916. The obverse features a striding Liberty, the sun is at her feet, rays streaming outward. The reverse shows an emblematic eagle with outstretched wings. In one talon is a bundle of arrows. The other holds an olive branch, representing peace. Find uncirculated proofs or bullion of the American silver eagle in a variety of years on our site. You can buy box sets to increase your collection even more so.
Silver American Buffalo Coins
The Silver American Buffalo is quite an interesting piece. Although its yellow cousin the American Gold Buffalo is a lot more common and popular, this piece of currency is quite an item to behold. Minted only in 2001, this coin is a bit of a rarity. Just over a quarter million of them were ever produced, and of those only about 1,600 of them are certified as perfect Proof 70 by the NGC. Just like the Gold American Buffalo coins, the silver version has a Native American profile on the obverse, looking right. On the reverse is an iconic buffalo, looking leftward. This design was created a long time ago by James Earle Fraser for the original buffalo nickel. Now, it can be seen on the gorgeous, hefty silver American Buffalo dollar coin.
Private Rounds
Silver collectors love this precious metal in any shape or size. This includes silver rounds, which to a lot of people just appear to be normal silver coins. Though a true numismatist or aficionado knows that the factor that separates the rounds from coins is the specific government mint. Mints use the word coin for currency that carries a face value and can be used as legal tender. In this way, rounds actually carry no face value, since they aren't legitimate currency. These are simply privately minted coins of silver. Reputable refineries like International Trade Bullion (ITB) mint silver rounds for those silver lovers the world over, who collect the metal for a variety of reasons. Oftentimes it’s for investment purposes, as buying precious metals is frequently seen as a fantastic way to diversify and strengthen an investment portfolio.
Perhaps one of the most famous of America's silver coins is the Morgan dollar. Named for its designer George T. Morgan, this coin has an interesting story. It was minted from 1878 to 1904 and was then brought back again in 1921. These iconic coins were minted in Carson City, Denver, New Orleans, San Francisco, and Philadelphia. The Morgan silver dollar features a profile portrait of Liberty on the obverse and it depicts an eagle on the reverse. The eagle has its wings outstretched and in its talons it clasps an olive branch and a bundle of arrows. At the U.S. Gold Bureau, you can find silver Morgan dollars from multiple years of minting as well as from multiple mints; you can find uncirculated proofs as well as circulated examples of the coin. Regardless of your collection, you should be able to spot a Morgan you haven't yet acquired.
The Peace Dollar was named as such because it was designed and produced after World War I. The design was selected in a contest hosted by the U.S. Mint. The winning design is meant as a symbol of peace. Anthony de Francisci won that contest and got to design this now-famous piece of American currency. The minting started in 1921 and stretched to 1928. Afterward, the U.S. Mint brought it back for a brief stint in 1934 and 1935. The coin itself features a Lady Liberty in close-up profile on the obverse. The reverse shows a bald eagle perched, rays of sun streaming up toward him from below. At the U.S. Gold Bureau, we carry a number of differently graded coins from both the NGC and PCGS. Find a Peace dollar from your favorite year and snatch it up before someone else gets the same idea.
True silver lovers amass the metal in all forms. At the U.S. Gold Bureau, we're proud to offer an impressive array of internationally minted silver rounds and coins; from Canada's Silver Maple Leaf to the gorgeous Silver Philharmonic, Austria's silver dollar coin. You can even find commemorative pieces like the Canadian Niagara Falls coin, which carries a whopping 10 ounces of silver and carries and a face value of $50. For the superhero fans, Canada mints a $50 Superman coin, which features the classic comic book hero flying outward, bursting through gold plated comic pages.
Historic Silver Coins (Pre-1965)
A lot of people choose silver due to its investment potential. Some collect it because silver just happens to be what the coins they're collecting are made from. Some people collect silver for both reasons. At the U.S. Gold Bureau, you can find historic coins like the Peace dollar or Morgan dollar from a variety of different years. They'll all have more or less the same metal composition. See, before 1965, coins that were minted in the U.S. would contain about 90 percent silver while the rest was copper. By 1970 however, this process had been phased out and silver was no longer being used in U.S. currency. Numismatists and savvy collectors are special fans of silver coins made before 1965. Browse the site to find that perfect Morgan dollar from the year and minting you've been searching for, or browse our vast collection of junk silver and further extend the borders of your historic coin collection.
For those silver fans that are more into the investment side of the precious metal, The United States Gold Bureau has them covered. Coins and rounds are incredibly popular for a number of different reasons, but there is something about a solid, smooth silver bar, the heft of it, the feel of the sleek design and minimalist aesthetic. There is a timeless quality to the silver bullion bar. At The United States Gold Bureau, we offer bars from a variety of manufacturers in a plethora of sizes. Find silver bars from as small as an ounce to as big as a kilo. Whether you've dabbled in gold and enjoyed it, so you're looking at the next most popular precious metal, or if you're simply just looking for a better metal that suits your investment strategy, silver bars are a fantastic choice.
The Potential of Silver
Not sure what to buy? Allow yourself to get lost in the rich history of the coveted Peace dollar; browse the selection of interesting and fanciful world coins; explore bags of junk silver, never knowing when you might find a special rarity; research and then strengthen your investment portfolio by diversifying with silver. You can even invest silver into an IRA account. Take some time to explore our online literature, peruse the products and discover the potential of silver.

It’s my belief that this opportunity gives me the best chance of competing in London and so I have decided to go for it.”

Fix It in the Mix
by Simon Frith
Simon Reynolds’s new book on dance culture comes in two versions. The American, Generation Ecstasy: Into the World of Techno and Rave Culture, is simpler and more linear. The British, Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Club Culture, loops around in a druggier way and is accompanied by an illustrative CD. With the argument cut differently in each book (different chapter sequences, some different material), reading them back to back is like listening to different mixes of a 12-inch single. It’s the same book, but sets up different readerships.
In Britain publishers have seized on 1998 as the 10th Anniversary of Acid House, and Energy Flash has to be read as one of a number of books of club history and reminiscence. The best of Reynolds’s competitors, Sheryl Garratt’s Adventures in Wonderland: A Decade of Club Culture, is in effect another mix: the same stories, the same key interviews, the same photographs. For a generation of British youth, dance music is now an embedded physical memory, and these books (Reynolds’s included) function as print repositories for familiar dance-floor tales–how Europhile techno producer Derrick May was dismayed by what British clubbers did to his Detroit sounds; how Paul Oakenfold and his DJ friends had an epiphany in Ibiza; how the Hacienda housed the rise and fall of Madchester. Rave culture, in short, has left a permanent imprint on British pop mythology that Reynolds must address.
But in the States, judging by Reynolds’s own account, rave remains a fringe culture, a distorted mirror of an exotic British scene that was itself a distorted amplifier of an African American sound. Modern dance music needs an accounting to American readers in different terms than for British readers, and Generation Ecstasy is duly lucid, comprehensive, and smart. Reynolds uses a variety of approaches: straight narrative, I-was-there reportage, critical theory. Arguments vanish and recur, grounded in a relentless series of track descriptions, lovingly analyzing and evoking numbers you’ve never heard and never will.
Through this undergrowth of musical detail two themes sound out. First, 1990s dance culture can only be understood by reference to the effects of Ecstasy. Dance-floor sensibility, from smiley-face utopianism to fragmented panic, was an expression of E-consciousness. It was this consciousness that the best DJs understood; it was these DJs who kept the music moving to match the collective mood. Second, dance dramatically sped up the usual pop process of revolt into style. Reynolds captures well the buzz and disappointment of pop fandom–the excitement of learning a musical secret; the rush when you realize everyone else knows it too; the immediate realization that it is, alas, no longer a secret. On the rave scene this familiar pop process was materialized in the Ecstasy effect, in the effort of finding out where to go to dance and who would be going with you.
As Reynolds admits, Generation Ecstasy is part of this secret telling. He begins with a quote from fellow rock critic Barney Hoskyns: “What we must lose now is this insidious corrosive knowingness, this need to collect and contain.” Throughout the book there are echoes of Susan Sontag’s argument against interpretation. Reynolds values dance music over rock because of its meaninglessness, its supposed lack of stars and lyrics on which to hang a story. And yet his book is an exercise in containment, just as dance music itself is obsessed with genre labels, and he has no hesitation at all in linking “meaningless” sounds to changing social conditions, in treating producers like Tricky and the Aphex Twin as auteurs.
Indeed, in Reynolds’s account, ’90s dance music was the ultimate collectors’ music (all those knowing quotes and samples). Combine this with dance-floor dependence on do-it-yourself electronics, and it’s not surprising that you end up with an exclusively male musical form. There are reasons besides Reynolds’s book for thinking that the culture he describes is in terminal decline. In Britain, independent nightclubs are closing as dance music becomes part of corporate leisure and Radio 1 routine. Dance has changed pop industry practices (as punk did before it), but its final effect (like punk’s) will be to extend the boundaries of rock, with dance now absorbedinto its ideology, rather than to keep alive the avant-garde message that Reynolds is trying to inscribe in its history.
Meanwhile, for anyone over the age of 40, Generation Ecstasy is the best available wayinto what has always been a closed-to-the-grownups world. I’ve never taken Ecstasy,never raved, and what most struck me reading Reynolds in both versions is how reminiscent the experiences he describes are of my mod clubbing in the mid ’60s and disco clubbing in the early ’80s. Different sounds, different drugs, same exhilaration.

World jazz - Latin Jazz - Bossa Jazz
Vojaĝo - Toulouse - Occitania - France
Vojaĝo in Esperanto is pronounced "vo-YA-jo". It is the story of friendship among six musicians from Toulouse, the Pink City in Occitania. United by a common passion for Latin music and jazz, these "travelers from the South" forge compositions with the spontaneity, exaltation, and warmth of the South. The band Vojaĝo is also characterized by the desire to put art at the service of right causes, such as the respect of the environment and friendship between human beings thanks to Esperanto.
What attracts us with the first accents of their repertoire is the energy and enthusiasm of a style well-rhythmed to communicative joy. Sometimes nonchalant and sensual, sometimes joyful and jubilant, the music distilled by Vojaĝo reveals the musicians' joy of life, happy to share their passion.
One of the characteristics of Vojaĝo is the taste for the melodies made "a la mano" on real instruments that vibrate, resonate, breathe, and give their soul to music. To work the sound dough into chiselled, lovingly shaped music, in the manner of the most seasoned craftsmen.
On syncopated rhythms, taking its roots from Choro, Bossa Nova, Samba, Salsa, or the Blues, Vojaĝo's style has strongly oriented accents from the South, from Brazil, the Caribbean, Italy, Argentina, or Louisiana, that embark you on a trip to the other end of the Earth, in the suburbs of Rio, São Paulo, or Belem, Cuba, Buenos Aires, Naples, or Toulouse. A nonchalant journey in a music full of sunshine, like a hymn to life, which incites friendship between "remakers of the world".
Vojaĝo performed in concert for the first time in front of an Esperanto audience during the 100th World Congress of Esperanto at the Palais des Congrès in Lille in July 2015.
Vojaĝo is composed of:
- Audrey Rey: song in French, choirs.
- Gilles Bénard: keyboards.
- Jean-Claude Patalano: song in Esperanto, tenor and soprano saxophones, clarinet, concert flute.
- Didier Kerboull: bass.
- Pascal Marceillac: drums.
- Julien Fischer: percussions (cajón, congas, bongos, pads).
Several days after Vojaĝo's first album, Planedo nia, was released, a request came out of South America: Alejandro Cossavella proposed collaboration on the songs of his next album project.
That request was not surprising, since Jean-Claude Patalano and Ale had already worked together in 2004 on the arrangements of several titles on Strika Tango's album Civilizacio.
It was therefore natural that the musicians of Vojaĝo enthusiastically accepted to contribute in the realization of the album Tro, a gem of Pop music en Esperanto.
For more information about Vojaĝo please visit their website:http://www.vojagxo-muziko.fr/en/groupe-en.html

Greg Newson - Business Owner and Health Practitioner
Greg is a qualified Naturopath, Western Medicine Herbalist, Nutritionist and Remedial Massage Therapist and Professional Health and Wellbeing Speaker with a passion for helping people on all matters to do with health. Greg loves seeing people overcome illness and regain their health and enjoyment of life. He has a real desire to educate people on all matters of health and nutrition and give them back control of their lives. Greg believes that with the right knowledge, people are more informed and thereby more likely to make the right decisions for their long-term health and wellbeing.
Greg was born in Sydney, Australia when 'The Beatles' were still together, and long hair and moustaches were all the rage. Childhood schooling was nothing remarkable, and Greg left in Year 10 to pursue an apprenticeship as an Electrician with PM Cork & Co. Life rolled on for Greg until his mid 20’s when his father was given the devastating diagnosis of an inoperable brain tumour. Despite cancer treatment attempts provided by mainstream medicine, Greg’s father's health declined. It was during this period that Greg sought to research other possible natural medicine treatment options. Unfortunately, his suggestions for these alternative treatments fell on deaf ears. The arrogant attitudes and unwillingness to consider possible alternative options lit the fuse within Greg to pursue a career in Natural Medicine. He had developed a newfound need to help people reclaim their health using a more natural approach to treating disease. This was the driving force behind Gregs decision to enrol at Health Schools Australia and Charles Sturt University in NSW Australia, where he completed his degrees in Naturopathy, Western Herbal Medicine and Nutrition.
Greg has taken to Natural Medicine like a duck to water. His brain that was somewhat inactive during his former school years has become the biggest sponge, soaking up knowledge wherever it can. Greg is exceptionally well aligned in the Natural Medicine field; his expertise and passion for helping others is truly a gift for others to benefit from.
As a passionate practitioner and health teacher, Greg educates people in the community on health matters by speaking on local radio and presenting at a variety of health and healing retreats or seminars.
Greg is a member of the Australian Traditional Medicine Society
Janelle Newson - Business Operations
Janelle has a background in customer service and business management. Her unique skill set allows her to oversee the operations of the business, its accounting requirements and she has the joy of cracking the whip to keep Greg in line.
Janelle has great respect for the healing properties of natural medicine. In her mid 20's Janelle suffered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome through which she discovered natural medicine and experienced its transformative powers.
Her favouring health saying is "the path of wellness and healing is truly a gift that keeps on giving". Janelle loves the journey and continues to grow and expand her gift to help others. To maintain balance in her life, Janelle enjoys daily exercise, meditation, a good cup of organic Earl Grey tea plus laughing at the antics of her mischievous labrador. She holds a strong connection with spirit and is continually amazed by its life-changing healing energies.
Tali Edwards - Administration and Design Business Assistant
Tali runs our front office and the day to day administrative activities of our business. With the additional skills of Graphic Design and Social Media Management, Tali is responsible for any new developments as well as 'polishing' our current design work and social media content. With a working history in the technology and alternative health fields, Tali is an invaluable asset to the Vitality and Wellness Centre.
Tali shares in the belief of treating the causes of dis-ease and not just the symptoms. She has taken her own personal journey to exploring the many alternatives to modern medicine. Tali has applied what she has learnt to helping her two cats with their on-going health issues. In her free time Tali runs an online creative writing blog and sews quilts for herself and her friends.
Buddy - Lifestyle Coach / Security Guard
Buddy is the business's most adorable employee. He keeps us sane and constantly reminds us of the importance of being present, playing and having fun. He pretends to act as the chief of security, but can easily be bribed by the smallest morsel of food. He is often found sleeping on the job and when awoken expects pats and rubs behind his ears. It's quite obvious that Buddy thinks the Vitality and Wellness Centre is the place to be.

The Top 10 Collections of New York Fashion Week Fall 2020

Waking up this morning, still high from last night’s Marc Jacobs spectacular, the headlines that forecasted New York fashion week’s demise seemed altogether too dire. Fashion week isn’t dead, though it is in mid-disruption.
Against the backdrop of Extinction Rebellion teen protests, a groundswell of designers have begun putting concerns about their own impact on global warming at the center of their practices. Talents established (Gabriela Hearst) and emerging (Collina Strada’s Hillary Taymour) took up the cause this season, finding new ways to work with waste products and using deadstock as much as possible. Designing to a theme is an out-of-date concept. Sustainable design is the only kind of design for the future. Will that affect the potential for growth for these thoughtful women? Probably, but bigger, as we’re all learning amidst this climate crisis, isn’t necessarily better. The challenge going forward, for the CFDA, IMG (which runs the central Spring Studios venue), and brands themselves is how to make the week less damaging to the environment.
The loudest complaint about New York, of course, was that too many familiar names were missing. Maybe so, but Tom Ford, who nailed the laid-back glamour of LA at his pre-Oscars show, will be back, and in the meantime, the absence of stars like Ralph Lauren and Zendaya x Tommy Hilfiger (who’ll be back too) left room for newer names to emerge. Show me a young designer with more ambition or a better color sense than Christopher John Rogers, or more innate finesse for tailoring than Marina Moscone. The big names who did show—Hello, Marc Jacobs!—exhibited monumental vision. Who else, anywhere, gives you as much emotion? As much uplift? Rodarte’s Kate and Laura Mulleavy came close. After 18 months off the calendar, theirs was a particularly welcome return: dreamy, dark like our times, and a pretty clear reminder that the only constant is change.
As we move on to London, Milan, and Paris, we’ll be watching for two trends that emerged here in New York. The first is blanket dressing (Michael Kors) and the second is the return of sexy (Proenza Schouler). Both are responses to the current moment—our scary times, again. Should we hunker down or go out dancing? Oh, why not both? Meanwhile, if you’re investing in tailoring, which continues to be a major story here, Tory Burch’s jackets have personality to spare.
Here, from name-brands to more-or-less unknowns, are the week’s most resonant collections.

This was ur-Marc Jacobs, familiar to those of us who saw his shows in that pre-internet era: a three-button A-line coat; a little crewneck and straight-leg trousers; matching pastel jackets and minidresses and tights; a sequin shift dress. Miley Cyrus made a cameo wearing a black bra and pants. The evening dresses were more couture-ish— the designer was just in Paris shooting Givenchy’s spring campaign with Charlotte Rampling, and the experience looked like it rubbed off on him—but they too were essential Marc Jacobs. Ornamented, yes, but still American in their aerodynamism. New York Fashion Week ended on a universal high.—Nicole Phelps
Marina MosconePhoto: Courtesy of Marina Moscone
Backstage before her show at The Players Club—“backstage” being an art-filled room upstairs in the historic townhouse—Marina Moscone said she’d been thinking about the ’70s. It was a popular reference this week, but you wouldn’t have picked up on it in her clothes. And that’s a good thing. Moscone has never been a referential designer; to her, the decade wasn’t about groovy prints or a particular silhouette, but rather an attitude, a subdued glamour, and a sense of simplicity. She imagined Anjelica Huston and Jane Forth getting ready for a night out, throwing on blazers or bias-cut dresses and not fussing over any of it. Moscone is interested in what the 2020 version of that looks like; suffice it to say, it’s far from the cloyingly retro “’70s-inspired” stuff we’ve seen on so many other runways.—Emily Farra
Michael Kors’s comfort agenda applied to both day and night. There was a terrific Prince of Wales suit with an easy-to-wear pleated midiskirt, and pleats also featured big in his eveningwear. For an even more relaxed after-dark look, he showed a black sequined smock dress over a turtleneck bodysuit and another pair of riding boots. There wasn’t a pair of stilettos in the show. At a preview, Kors talked a lot about heritage—his brand turns 40 next year, so the past is on his mind: “In 1981, I said my clothes were about dressing for a fast life.” This season, more than ever, he has us covered.—N.P.
RodartePhoto: Isidore Montag / Gorunway.com
For all the pleasure to be had through the bulk of this show, seeing Laura and Kate Mulleavy return to their gothic roots and reach into their capacious bag of decorative tricks to conduct a proper fashion haunting, the real joy was to be found in watching the sisters exit terra firma. In the concluding passage they sent out a group of gowns unlike anything Rodarte has shown before—hand-painted bias-cut dresses with great scarves of silk unfurling off the shoulder and flying behind the models like endless wings. They were achingly lovely, these looks—and precisely what the Mulleavys intended them to be, which was the beautiful, barely there apparel one puts on “to walk out into the unknown,” as the sisters explained after the show. The metamorphosis was complete: This season’s Rodarte woman emerged furiously, insistently alive.—Maya Singer
Gabriela HearstPhoto: Alessandro Lucioni / Gorunway.com
Can an entire collection be made from waste products? And can you make that waste into something beautiful? Those are the questions that Gabriela Hearst set out to answer with her new offering. “When you put parameters around creativity, it becomes more focused,” she said. Hearst was talking about sustainability earlier than most, and she’s demonstrated a real passion for the subject, from setting goals to eliminate plastic to measuring the carbon footprint of her fashion shows. The giant shredded paper bales that decorated her show space today acted as a visual metaphor for her new project. As we enter the 2020s, we need to begin using the resources at hand, not continue to make new ones.—N.P.
Proenza SchoulerPhoto: Filippo Fior / Gorunway.com
Sexy’s back. This season Proenza Schouler’s Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez felt a strong urge to move away from the soft draping and midi lengths of their recent collections. Fall is shorter, sharper, and more shapely all around. The irony is that their starting point was a blanket. The duo gave their stylist Camilla Nickerson a blanket for Christmas which she started wearing as a scarf, and inspiration was born. “She’s blanketed in a protective layer of strength and confidence,” Hernandez said backstage. McCollough put it another way: “It’s about finding beauty in a world that’s unraveling.”—N.P.
Collina StradaPhoto: Alessandro Lucioni / Gorunway.com
More important perhaps than how good the clothes were this season was the fact that everyone in the room was dancing too, and with giant smiles on their faces. At Collina Strada, Hillary Taymour is talking about sustainability just like everyone else, but she’s also having fun with it, lightening things up a bit. These are dark times, and we’re working in an industry that struggles every day to become more forward-thinking, as well as one where promoting cancel and callout culture on social media can get you million-dollar deals and a front row at the top luxury shows in Europe. We should all follow Taymour’s lead and come back to some optimism in fashion. She’s tending to a beautiful, hopeful garden, and the seeds are only just beginning to grow.—Brooke Bobb
This was slyly thoughtful treatise on many of the things Tory Burch has become known for in her collections, and a meditation on what power means to women. You can understand why she’d be thinking along those lines, having been dubbed during her career a female CEO, as if her business acumen needed to be qualified by her gender. Clearly, it didn’t—and shouldn’t. That’s what led Burch to explore tailoring that didn’t resort to aping the cliché of women in suits. Those high-neck Edwardian jackets and lean pants worn with lanky embroidered boots, for instance, were intended as a more personal and intuitive depiction of what being powerful could mean to women today, Burch included. The personal is always up front in her work; the ability to engage women in conversation, whether it’s with her clothes or her philanthropic endeavors. And it was certainly evident at this show, where she wanted to get away from what she felt had been the somewhat sterile environment of last season and go to the celebratory joy of having someone such as singer Alice Smith—Burch is a fan—perform live. But ultimately, the real personal triumph here was Burch’s; a designer who is challenging herself to be increasingly ambitious in her work, defying the definition of who she is and what she can be—and quite plainly succeeding.—Mark Holgate
Spanning a full 40 looks, Christopher John Rogers’s first post-CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund show brought back some familiar silhouettes—there was the bulbous strawberry-shaped waist (Rogers says it’s become one of his best sellers), which reappeared on the runway in violet, and he worked in some past references, like Pierrots, the French cinematic clowns that informed last season’s ruffled necklines. As for new inspirations, he cited trash bags, of all things—he says that a curtain brushing the floor in a Renaissance painting has the same energy as a crumpled garbage bag—and mid-century couturier Alix Barton, also known as Madame Grès, whose later work skewed more graphic and progressive than the goddess-draped gowns that made her famous.—Rachel Hahn
Tom FordPhoto: Alessandro Lucioni / Gorunway.com
The Friday of Oscars weekend is no time for Tom Ford to be in New York—not when Jennifer Lopez, Renée Zellweger, and Miley Cyrus, along with Jason Momoa, Jon Hamm, and Jeff Bezos, are descending on Los Angeles in the party-filled lead-up to the big awards ceremony. The proximity of so much fame suggested that he might have had a red carpet collection in store for us. That didn’t come until the end. Instead Ford seemed interested in extending the conversation he started recently, filtering concepts of simplicity, ease, and wearability through an L.A. lens. There was glam of a laid-back variety. He described it as “chic, possibly slightly stoned, and very sensual,” and said he was inspired by a 1967 Bob Richardson photo of Baron Alexis de Waldner and Donna Mitchell sharing a cigarette or a joint. “For me it’s very L.A.”—N.P.

Bills team spirit runs high at Christ the King School
by: Angelica Morrison
(WIVB)– The students at Christ the King School in Snyder held a pep rally for the Buffalo Bills Friday afternoon.
About 200 students, staff and parents participated. They made signs, wore their bills colors, shirts and face masks, and cars drove by on Main Street honking their horns.
“We’ve been working hard since September, we’ve been in school since September, and we wanted to get out here and show our love for the Bills and the community and, quite frankly, just have some fun,” said school principal Maria Wangler.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB)-- Buffalo Police say they are preparing to beef up patrols next week.
Bills fans flooded the streets around Buffalo City Hall and "Josh Allentown" after last night's win.
BUFFALO, N.Y. (WIVB)-- Before last week's insurrection, the last time the U.S. Capitol was sieged was the War of 1812.
That war played a significant role in the history of Western New York.

The New Meaning of Rich: Four Principles of Wealth That Will Change Your Life
Author: Evan Tarver
We live in a world where the true meaning of wealth has been lost.
In years past, a dream of riches was synonymous to Charlie Sheen’s character in Wall Street. Today’s world is one that no longer fits that dream. Greasy-haired stock brokers who grind their way to the top is not the idea of rich anyone believes in anymore. There is a problem, however, where we lack any other meaning of wealth.
We need to change how we think about wealth. We need to redefine what it means to be “rich.” Wealth, defined in this modern age, is a true ownership of your emotions, time, location, and ability to give back. When you follow this definition of wealth, and focus on maximizing each area, the monetary riches follow, 100% of the time, every time.

When Jimmy Ryan’s mangled corpse is found in a local church basement, this sadistic sacrilege sends a bone-deep chill through the winter-whipped city.

But in a town ruled by an old-world code of silence and secrecy, her search for answers is stonewalled at every turn, even by fellow cops. Only when Abbie finds a lead at the Gaelic Club, where war stories, gossip, and confidences flow as freely as the drink, do tongues begin to wag—with desperate warnings and dire threats.

Visiting Tom: A Man, a Highway, and the Road to Roughneck Grace

How to Grow More Vegetables (and Fruits, Nuts, Berries, Grains, and Other Crops)
Author: John Jeavons
Decades before the terms “eco-friendly” and “sustainable growing” entered the vernacular, How to Grow More Vegetables demonstrated that small-scale, high-yield, all-organic gardening methods could yield bountiful crops over multiple growing cycles using minimal resources in a suburban environment. The concept that John Jeavons and the team at Ecology Action launched more than 40 years ago has been embraced by the mainstream and continues to gather momentum. Today, How to Grow More Vegetables, now in its fully revised and updated 8th edition, is the go-to reference for food growers at every level: from home gardeners dedicated to nurturing their backyard edibles in maximum harmony with nature’s cycles, to small-scale commercial producers interested in optimizing soil fertility and increasing plant productivity.
Well Read, Then Dead (Read Em and Eat Mystery Book 1)
Mystery > Cozy
Author: Terrie Farley Moran
Nestled in the barrier islands of Florida’s Gulf Coast, Fort Myers Beach is home to Mary “Sassy” Cabot and Bridget Mayfield—owners of the bookstore café, Read ’Em and Eat. But when they’re not dishing about books or serving up scones, Sassy and Bridgy are keeping tabs on hard-boiled murder.
Read ’Em and Eat is known for its delicious breakfast and lunch treats, along with quite a colorful clientele. If it’s not Rowena Gustavson loudly debating the merits of the current book club selection, it’s Miss Augusta Maddox lecturing tourists on rumors of sunken treasure among the islands. It’s no wonder Sassy’s favorite is Delia Batson, a regular at the Emily Dickinson table. Augusta’s cousin and best friend Delia is painfully shy—which makes the news of her murder all the more shocking.
No one is more distraught than Augusta, and Sassy wants to help any way she can. But Augusta doesn’t have time for sympathy. She wants Delia’s killer found—and she’s not taking no for an answer. Now Sassy is on the case, and she’d better act fast before there’s any more trouble in paradise.

Author: Sarah Pekkanen
How far would you go to save your family?
Every morning, as her husband Mike straps on his SIG Sauer and pulls on his heavy Magnum boots, Jamie Anderson tenses up. Then comes the call she has always dreaded: There’s been a shooting at police headquarters. Mike isn’t hurt, but his long-time partner is grievously injured. As weeks pass and her husband’s insomnia and disconnectedness mount, Jamie realizes he is an invisible casualty of the attack. Then the phone rings again. Another shooting—but this time Mike has pulled the trigger.
But the shooting does more than just alter Jamie’s world. It’s about to change everything for two other women. Christie Simmons, Mike’s flamboyant ex, sees the tragedy as an opportunity for a second chance with Mike. And Jamie’s younger sister, Lou, must face her own losses to help the big sister who raised her. As the press descends and public cries of police brutality swell, Jamie tries desperately to hold together her family, no matter what it takes.

Moped & Scooter Accident Attorneys in Sacramento
We Can Help You Explore Your Legal Options
Mopeds and scooters have become increasingly popular, both as modes of transportation and as recreational vehicles. They’re smaller and more fuel-efficient than motorcycles. In some ways, they’re easier to operate than a motorcycle, particularly for beginners.
Nonetheless, scooters and mopeds can be just as dangerous — if not more so — than motorcycles. Because they’re so small, they’re harder for drivers to see. Riding at night can be especially dangerous for this reason.
If you have been injured in a moped or scooter accident, contact The Weinberger Law Firm Sacramento injury lawyers at (916) 357-6767 today.
Common Moped & Scooter Accidents
According to the Motorcycle Safety Foundation, the vast majority of accidents involving mopeds, scooters and motorcycles happen in intersections. A driver might not see you and turn left directly in your path. Other common collisions involve:
Getting sideswiped by a driver who fails to check his or her blind spots
Getting rear-ended by a vehicle that’s following too closely
Getting struck at an intersection by a vehicle that fails to stop
Bad weather conditions or poor road design can increase the chances of a collision.

In answer, another kind of man, Enkidu, is sent to earth to live among the animals and learn kindness from them.

Burton firefighter accused of soliciting minor no longer employed
BEAUFORT, S.C. (WSAV) – A Burton firefighter accused of soliciting a minor is now out of a job as he awaits extradition back to Beaufort County.
The Beaufort Police Department tells News 3 Brandon Thomsen, 46, faces charges of criminal solicitation of a minor and dissemination of obscene material to a person under 18 years old.
For several days, his whereabouts were unknown, but police announced last week he was located at a medical facility in Brunswick, Georgia, which he was at for an “unknown reason.”
The Burton Fire District placed Thomsen on immediate suspension pending the ongoing investigation. In a release, the district said Thomsen had not been on duty at the fire station since Aug. 20.
On Tuesday, Burton Fire confirmed he is no longer with the Department. Thomsen remains in Brunswick at this time.

Just Cause 3 New gameplay – The Map From End To End [VIDEO]
Just days before the launch of Just Cause 3, two hardcore gamers from PlayStation Access on YouTube released a new gameplay video, which gives us a deeper look at how large the map really is in the upcoming game. Just Cause 3 takes place on the island of Medici, featuring a 400-square mile map. A virtual helicopter tour from one end of the map to the other is shown entirely in the video clip above.
The map in Just Cause 3 isn’t necessarily larger than the one in the previous sequel, but will feel more “dense”, according to the games director.
Roland Lesterlin said,
Just Cause 2 was already enormous, we really wanted to focus now on density and the feel of the world itself. So we didn’t necessarily just have to do increased land mass. But we have certainly gone a lot bigger when it comes to density of the world. And now it’s not just on top of the world–we also have caves and tunnels and all sorts of stuff there, too.
Just Cause 3 launches on December 1 across PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

Zaiwalla & Co's statement on the Judgment released in Banco Central de Venezuela's claim against the Bank of England
Following a four-day hearing last week during which the High Court in London heard arguments from representatives of the Banco Central de Venezuela (BCV) and the Ad Hoc Board appointed by Juan Guaidó, Mr Justice Teare today handed down a Judgment ruling that Her Majesty’s Government has formally recognised Mr Guaidó as the “constitutional interim President of Venezuela”, and that due to the ‘One Voice’ and ‘Act of State’ doctrines the Court is precluded from investigating the validity of Mr Guaidó’s acts.
Sarosh Zaiwalla, senior partner at Zaiwalla & Co, representing the Banco Central de Venezuela, commented:
“The Banco Central de Venezuela will be seeking leave of the court to appeal this Judgment, which it considers entirely ignores the reality of the situation on the ground. None of the Board members of the so called ‘ad hoc Administrative Board’ of BCV appointed by the Mr Guaidó have been resident in Venezuela for some years now. Mr Maduro’s government is in complete control of Venezuela and its administrative institutions, and only it can ensure the distribution of the humanitarian relief and medical supplies needed to combat the coronavirus pandemic. This is the reason why it issued a claim against the Bank of England, which had refused to act on its instructions to assist in permitting Venezuela’s gold reserves to be used to fund efforts by the United Nations Development Programme to purchase food, medicine and medical equipment for the use of the Venezuelan people during the coronavirus pandemic. This outcome will now delay matters further, to the detriment of the Venezuelan people whose lives are at risk”
It is very rare for a case of such international legal importance to be decided by reference to legal questions alone without taking into account the facts on the ground, and still rarer for an English Commercial Court to be told that it can only decide a question in the way that the Government says it must. This has led to the unusual result in this case that while at the same time acknowledging the UK’s full diplomatic relations with Mr Maduro’s government, the Court has also upheld as valid in England Mr Guaidó’s acts of appointment which are considered unlawful and invalid in Venezuela.
On BCV’s case, the continuation of diplomatic relations shows that Mr Maduro is still recognised, de facto, as President by the United Kingdom, and it is unjust to expect the Courts to adhere to the idea of the UK having ‘One Voice’ when it comes to recognition when the Government itself does not. Sarosh Zaiwalla further commented:
“The BCV considers it deeply unsatisfactory that the English Court arrived at these conclusions without considering the fact that the Constitutional Chamber of the Supreme Tribunal of Justice of Venezuela had ruled the Statute on which Mr Guaidó’s appointments depend to be unconstitutional and unlawful in Venezuela. The UK Government’s statement, interpreted by this judgment as a formal statement of recognition, has regrettably compelled the court to decide in one way without permitting it to take into account evidence to the contrary.”
The case is Banco Central de Venezuela v The Governor and Company of The Bank of England, claim number CL–2020–000304.
Banco Central de Venezuela is represented by Nicholas Vineall QC, instructed by Zaiwalla & Co.
The interests of Mr Juan Guaidó are represented by Andrew Fulton, instructed by Arnold & Porter.

Zombieland 2: Is It Worth It?
On Friday, October 18th moviegoers around the globe walk, ran, and shambled to finally see the much-anticipated sequel of the year; Zombieland 2: Double Tap. We the fans of the original movie had been waiting ten years for this moment, and we couldn’t be happier, but, Zombieland 2: Is It Worth It?
The movie starts with a snowy shot of an abandoned building and the signature narrated greeting from the main character named Columbus. During this, he tells us seven years have passed since the first movie. Also, during this period the zombies have evolved into different classes. We begin with the introduction to the dumbest class of zombie, The Homer. The reason being this type is bumbling and stupid similar to their namesake, Homer Simpson. If you find yourself facing a clever and witty one, with a knack for problem-solving you are facing what is called a Hawking, or Beatrix if it is female. The last type mention in the intro is a fast, shift, quiet type called the Ninja. After learning about these new types of zombies we discovered that during this seven-year gap our heroes have been living it up in the White House, Columbus and Wichita are unofficially married, and Little Rock turned 18 years old. Shortly after her small birthday party Little Rock and Tallahassee are having a heated discussion about her leaving the nest as Tallahassee makes the ultimate zombie killing vehicle he nicknamed, The Beast. Little Rock wants people her age to date and hang out with as she brings up the dream of wanting to marry someday. Tallahassee shrugs off her complaints and focuses on the car. The next day he greets everyone in the oval office with a surprise early Christmas party, where Little Rock and Tallahassee butt heads again as Tallahassee gives her a gun and calls her ‘Little Girl’. She is annoyed with him because he won’t treat her as the adult she is. During the party, Tallahassee mentions moving the group to Graceland to be more near his idol, Elvis Presley. Later that night once everybody goes to bed Columbus decided now is the time to purpose to Wichita with the Hope Diamond. This spurs an argument with the young couple because Wichita is very much against marriage. After a few minutes, Columbus gives up and puts the ring back in the drawer to give her some time to think over his proposal.
He wakes up the next day eager for Wichita’s answer and learns from Tallahassee that she and Little Rock ran out in the middle of the night, leaving a note apologizing for their abrupt departure. Meanwhile, Little Rock and Wichita hit the road after stealing “The Beast”. While out on the road they begin to complain about Tallahassee and Columbus smothering them when they meet a guitar playing Pacifist named Berkeley. We cut back to Tallahassee and Columbus with Columbus narrating to us that weeks had passed since the girls left, and Tallahassee dragged him to a nearby mall to blow off some steam. After abandoning Tallahassee in a sporting goods store he goes into a nearby candle shop to browse for some nice scented candles for his room. Here he runs into Madison. Madison is your stereotypical blond character and tells Columbus she survived the last seven years by living in the cooler at Pinkberry. Columbus feels bad for her and invites her to live at the White House with him and Tallahassee. Tallahassee is not impressed by Madison but agrees to bring her along for Columbus’s sake. When they arrive it doesn’t take long for Columbus and Madison to “get to know each other better”. Later that night, Tallahassee hears some noise from the garage and decides to investigate it with Columbus thinking it’s a zombie. When they get to the garage they are shocked to find Wichita going through their weapons. Wichita tells them that she only returned because she needed guns to rescue her sister.
She says they had been staying with Berkeley during her absence from the group. Berkeley has no weapons of any kind and survives on the notion of peace, love, and music. After Tallahassee throws a fit she says that Little Rock had run off with him to go to Graceland together after leaving a note for Wichita that morning. Fearing for her sister’s safety Wichita returned to stock up on guns and other weapons so she can go to Graceland to save her sister, which the boys are more than happy to help her with.
The overall movie was very enjoyable. It held firm to the old foundation of the first movie but added enough new elements making a unique storyline. It also had the right amount of both comedy and drama which is what made the first film so exciting. My favorite parts were the many first movie references they made such as Columbus drinking Code Red Mountain Dew or the stuffed Twinkie in Tallahassee’s garage. If you enjoyed the first one, you’ll love the second one. Just remember when you go to see it stay tuned for the post-credit scene where they discuss the first day of the outbreak with a special celebrity appearance. I think I should also mention there is quite a bit more violence and swearing in this one compared to the first film, so please leave the kiddos at home.

Students leading
With few signs that either the politicians or the protesters are prepared to make concessions, the uprising looks set to enter an increasingly difficult phase.
Khalil Gebara, a professor of economics at the Lebanese American University, told Al Jazeera that the engagement of students and youth may yet prove to be one of the uprising’s greatest assets.
“What you are seeing today at the level of the youth and students is a phenomena that you haven’t seen since the civil war,” Gebara said. “The question is, which way will these students vote?”
“If we have early elections, it may represent a real turning point in the history of Lebanese politics because we may see a real change if this momentum is capitalised upon,” he said.
“If it takes a lot of time, you fear that mainstream parties will co-opt and dilute this momentum.”
Fatima al-Sheikh, a 20-year old freshmen student walking towards Beirut’s Riad al-Solh square on Saturday, said she believed decisive change would come whenever the next elections were held.
“I think it’s impossible that we will bring them back [at the next poll]” she said, as she removed a Lebanese flag from her backpack and unfurled it.
“We grew up thinking that they (sectarian leaders) looked out for our interests, even though we knew they were corrupt and sectarian and oppressive. But now we feel that with our hearts, and we can’t go back from that.”

Fig. 1 Rapid detection of β-lactamase gene expression. (A–D) One-cell-stage embryos were injected with 1 mM CCF2 (right embryo) or with 1 mM CCF2 + 10 ng/μl pXex–β-lactamase plasmid DNA (left embryo). Detection with the CCF2 filter set at the oblong stage (3.7 h at 28.5°C) (A), sphere (4 at 28.5°C) (B), 30% epiboly (4 h at 28.5°C) (C), 80% epiboly (8.5 h at 28.5°C) (D), and 10 somites stage (14 h at 28.5°C) (E). (F–H) One cell stage embryos were injected with 10 ng/μl of pXex–mmGFP plasmid and fluorescence was detected using the fluorescein filter set at 50% epiboly (5.3 h at 28.5°C) (F), 80% epiboly (8.5 h at 28.5°C) (G) and at the 10 somites stage (14 h at 28.5°C) (H).
Fig. 2 Cell-autonomous detection of the β-lactamase marker. (A) One-cell-stage embryos were injected with CCF2 and later at the 16-cell stage one of the marginal blastomeres was injected with β-lactamase mRNA. At this stage the cytoplasm of the marginal blastomeres is not separated allowing the mRNA to diffuse and to be translated in more than 1/16 of the cells. (B, C) One-cell-stage embryos were injected with CCF2 and later at the 64-cell stage one of the blastomeres was coinjected with β-lactamase mRNA and with rhodamine dextran as a lineage marker. At 30% epiboly the yolk was removed and a flat preparation of the embryo was visualized at a high magnification using the CCF2 filter set (B) or with a filter set for rhodamine detection (C).

CFB Baden–Soellingen
Canadian Forces Base Baden–Soellingen or CFB Baden–Soellingen, formerly known as RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen (Baden), (IATA:FKB, ICAO: EDSB, former code EDAL) was a Canadian Forces base located near the farming community of Söllingen, part of the municipality of Rheinmünster in the West German state of Baden-Württemberg. It is now a commercial area called Baden Airpark, which also includes the regional airport Flughafen Karlsruhe/Baden-Baden.

To meet NATO's air defence commitments during the Cold War, No. 1 Air Division RCAF was established in Europe in the early 1950s with four Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) bases in France and West Germany. These included RCAF Station Marville (No. 1 Wing) and RCAF Station Grostenquin (No. 2 Wing) in France and RCAF Station Zweibrücken (No. 3 Wing) and RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen in West Germany. These wings consisted of three fighter squadrons each.
Construction of the airfield at Baden–Soellingen began in December 1951 at a location between the Black Forest and the River Rhine under the supervision of the Armée de l'Air (French Air Force) (AA). The runway and associated facilities were completed by June 1952 and were intended to accommodate a brigade of the AA which arrived in August for the first operational use of the base. At that point support buildings were under construction.
RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen
In early 1953, NATO headquarters determined that the base under construction at Pferdsfeld, which was originally planned to accommodate No. 4 Wing, would not be ready for arriving squadrons and personnel later that summer. It was decided that France's units would temporarily vacate their airfield at Baden–Soellingen since this base was almost complete. Sixty-two RCAF Sabres of 414 Squadron (414 Sqn), 422 Squadron, and 444 Squadron arrived at Baden on 4 September 1953. Several months after the RCAF units arrived, NATO headquarters made the RCAF move to Baden permanent and the facility was named RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen, with dependents following in the spring of 1954.
Personnel worked quickly to make the base fully operational and integrate into RCAF operations within NATO for the defence of Western Europe.
NATO identified a shortage in all-weather fighter/interceptor aircraft in 1955 and the RCAF responded by providing the Air Division with four CF-100 squadrons to supplement existing squadrons equipped with Sabres. At Baden, 414 Squadron was replaced by 419 Squadron flying CF-100s. Air Division Sabre squadrons were converted to the CF-104 Starfighter beginning in 1962, with the CF-100 squadrons were disbanding by 31 December of that year. The CF-104 units changed the RCAF's original mission from fighter/interceptor to nuclear strike/reconnaissance.
In 1963 the Cabinet of France announced that all nuclear weapons located on French soil (NATO or French) would be controlled by France itself. This was unacceptable to the RCAF (and other NATO units stationed in France), so the nuclear-capable 421 Squadron at Grostenquin was hastily moved in the fall of 1963 to Baden and the similarly equipped 430 Squadron at Grostenquin moved to Zweibrücken. Remaining non-nuclear armed units in France were re-positioned to Marville.
In March 1966 the Government of France announced that it would be withdrawing its military forces from NATO and that current NATO units based in France must leave or fall under French military command. This forced the RCAF to look for a home in Western Europe for 1 Wing and 1 Air Division Headquarters, moving to Base Aérienne 139 Lahr–Hugsweier which the Armée de l'Air was vacating as per the French government's announced withdrawal from NATO military integrated organisation. RCAF personnel, aircraft and equipment were transferred to the new RCAF Station Lahr (Lahr) by March 1967 with dependents to follow later.
On 1 February 1968 the RCAF merged with the Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) and Canadian Army to form the unified Canadian Forces. RCAF Station Baden–Soellingen was renamed Canadian Forces Base Baden–Soellingen, or CFB Baden–Soellingen. As part of an effort to remove duplication and cut the defense budget following unification of the services, Zweibrücken was closed with its units consolidating at Lahr and Baden.
Further defence cuts and consolidation saw the Canadian Army (then renamed to Force Mobile Command) units of 4 Canadian Mechanized Brigade Group based in the Soest area of northwestern Germany moved to Lahr. However, a mechanized infantry battalion was stationed alongside the fighter squadrons at Baden:
1970–1977: 3rd Mechanized Commando, The Canadian Airborne Regiment
1977–1984: 3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment
1984–1988: 2nd Battalion, Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry
In addition, there was also a communications squadron, and after 1975, an air defence battery.[1] A multi-force airfield repair unit formed in the late 80s to fix the runways if needed.
The cuts resulted in a drawback of the air force from six squadrons to three which were reorganized under the new 1 Canadian Air Group banner.
The ramp-up in defence spending during renewed Cold War tensions in the late 1970s and 1980s saw Baden receive much-needed new infrastructure, including updated quarters for its personnel and their dependents. The year 1984 saw squadrons at Baden begin to re-equip from the CF-104 to the CF-18 with 1986 being the final year of operations for the CF-104 at Baden.
In October 1989 the Berlin Wall came down and by the end of 1990 Germany had reunited, thawing Cold War tensions and removing the role for Canada's active units stationed in Western Europe under NATO command.
Gulf War deployment
In September 1990 it was announced that an augmented 409 Squadron, and an infantry company from the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Canadian Regiment, would deploy from Baden to a base in Qatar as part of Operation Desert Shield along with some airfield security personnel. In December it was announced that 439 Squadron would deploy from Baden to replace 409 Squadron in Qatar. Aircraft from 439 Squadron were involved in air patrols and air-to-ground missions during Operation Desert Storm in January–February 1991, firing the first war shots by a Canadian military aircraft since the Korean War.
UNPROFOR deployment
The last major deployment from Baden occurred in April 1992, when infantry soldiers from November Company of The Royal Canadian Regiment were deployed to a United Nations peacekeeping mission in the disintegrating country of Yugoslavia. November Company's deployment was the first of many that the Canadian Forces would undertake to the nation under the banner of United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR). On the first night in Sirač, Croatia, November Company came under indirect mortar fire and was hit by 10–25 shells. In July 1992, the company was relocated to Sector Sarajevo, and fell under the command of General Lewis MacKenzie. November Company was ordered to break through to and seize Sarajevo International Airport for UNPROFOR to use for transporting food and supplies to civilians in the city.
The post-Cold War defence cuts of the early 1990s identified both Baden and Lahr for closure by 1994. The airfield at Baden closed on 31 March 1993 and several of its squadrons were disbanded with their aircraft returned to Canada for storage. By summer 1993 most personnel had vacated Baden with the base becoming a detachment of Lahr, whose personnel had also largely vacated by 31 August 1993. During the final months, Baden operated largely as a detachment of Lahr and was permanently closed on 31 December 1993. CFB Lahr would continue on until being officially closed 8 months later on 31 August 1994.
The Baden Airpark GmbH took over the area in 1995 and commercial flights started in 1997.
All Canadian military veterans who served in Germany for more than 180 days were bestowed the Special Service Medal with the NATO-OTAN bar.
A Canadian housing area near the base was named Kleinkanada in German, or Little Canada.
