title: Mixels

text:
Mixels is an American animated television series that aired on Cartoon Network and was co-produced by The Lego Group and Cartoon Network Studios. The series first aired on February 12, 2014, with a new episode of Teen Titans Go!. The series revolves around the Mixels, small creatures that can mix and combine with one another. The Mixels are opposed by the evil Nixels, small, discolored and evil creatures led by King Nixel.

Although previous Lego series, such as Lego Ninjago and Lego Legends of Chima, use CGI animation, Mixels made use of Toon Boom Harmony software, animated at Atomic Cartoons, Inc., before later being animated traditionally at Digital eMation, Inc., Big Star Entertainment, Inc., and Saerom Animation, Inc. A mobile app was released for the series on March 4, 2014, named Calling All Mixels, and even earlier two websites, one on the LEGO website and another owned by Cartoon Network, were launched where fans can learn about the Mixels. Nine series of collectible Lego building toys were also released, based on the characters. On February 19, 2014, the series had begun airing as an interstitial program on Boomerang, and still currently airs as such.

The TV series wrapped up production in July 2016, and the series finale aired on October 1, 2016, marking the end of the franchise, with bar references in Uncle Grandpa and The Lego Movie 2: The Second Part.

Premise
Mixels consists of 24 tribes who each have a different color scheme and inhabit a fantasy landscape. These creatures can Mix (a two-Mixel combination), Max (a three-Mixel combination and the tribe's own one), and Murp (a failed Mix) in all kinds of situations, using items called cubits, which inhabit the Mixels.

Characters

Mixels
Mixels consists of many different, fun-loving tribes who each have a different color scheme. It is noted that American voice actors play Gox (Chris Cox), Camillot (Jeff Bennett), Jinky (Jeff Bennett), Mixadel (Richard Steven Horvitz), and King Mixelot (Dave Fennoy), who are all British-accented characters.

Series 1

Infernites
Based on fire, the Infernites are the red primary tribe of Series 1. They live in the ‘Magma Wastelands’ near the center of ‘Mixel Land’.

 Flain (voiced by Tom Kenny) − Flain is the leader of the tribe called the ‘Infernites’, along with the other Mixels. Flain is adventurous and smart because he is known to his friends as ‘the smart one’. His head is on fire. When he thinks deeply or gets angry, his head runs the risk of catching on fire, so he tries to stay calm.
 Vulk (voiced by Jess Harnell) − Vulk is a one-eyed Mixel who is dimwitted but liked by his friends. Among his looks is how he is one of many cyclopses. His superheated hands can melt through solid rocks and the ‘Nixels’, however he may inadvertently hurt other Mixels with those hands, which make another Mixels not want to have high-fives or anything else with him.
 Zorch (voiced by David P. Smith) − Zorch is an Infernite who has fiery jets that let him "run around with surprising speed". He is a "crazy prankster", but well liked by his friends of whom he sometimes plays pranks on. His fiery jets from his rear leave the Nixels standing in a smoke cloud.

Cragsters
Based on rock, the Cragsters are the secondary tribe of Series 1. They live in tunnels that they have dug deep under the surface of Mixel Land.

 Krader (voiced by David P. Smith) − Krader is a super-strong and tough Mixel with a short temper. Roughly considered the Cragsters' leader, he has a rotating torso and massive hand, which can fold into a demolition ball, allowing him to bulldoze through rocks and dig deep pits to trap the Nixels.
 Seismo (voiced by Tom Kenny) − Seismo is a lanky and shy Mixel who can cause earthquakes with his unusually massive feet; he uses this ability as a weapon against the Nixels.
 Shuff (voiced by Jess Harnell) − Shuff is helpful and friendly, but very clumsy. His body is like "a living wrecking ball", and he accidentally destroys everything with it.

Electroids
Based on electricity, the Electroids are the yellow tertiary tribe of Series 1. They live in the Mountain Forest and stay as close as possible to the lightning storms that energize them.

 Teslo (voiced by Tom Kenny) − Teslo is the leader of the Electroids. He fights with his electrically charged tail. While usually level-headed, he has an open secret fear of heights. He is one of many cyclopses.
 Zaptor (voiced by Jess Harnell) − Zaptor is energetic and thrives on action. He is capable of releasing massive blasts of energy and blinding light, but overuses his ability, much to the chagrin of the other Mixels.
 Volectro (voiced by David P. Smith) − Volectro stores electricity in his hair. When overloaded with electricity, he can draw objects to himself with static electricity that charges his hair.

Series 2

Frosticons
Based on ice, the Frosticons are the blue secondary tribe of Series 2. They live near the crystallized shells of dead volcanoes.

 Flurr (voiced by Phil LaMarr) − Flurr is the leader of the Frosticons. Flurr is the only Frosticon who never feels sleepy and likes to fly around and explore Frosticon lands. He is good at spotting Nixels that are invaded far away, but sometimes misses obvious things.
 Slumbo (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) − Slumbo is the sleepiest Frosticon. It takes an earthquake to wake him up, but when he is awake, he has the power to move giant objects and create obstacles for the Nixels. Slumbo can brain-freeze the Mixels from making ice tunnels.
 Lunk (voiced by Billy West) − An unbelievably slow Frosticon, Lunk makes the other Frosticons seem positively energetic. He is not the brainiest or the most graceful when waddling across ice and balancing on his stubby hands, but his thick ice exoskeleton makes him incredibly durable. When he is sneezing, he can instantly freeze a Nixel in an ice cube.

Fang Gang
Based on eating and wood, the Fang Gang are the brown primary tribe of Series 2. They live on a farm.

 Gobba (voiced by Billy West) − Gobba is the bite-loving leader of the Fang Gang who can use his sensitive, whiplike tongue to seek out food on his homeland, a farm. He is the best taster of feelings among the Fang Gang, carving totem poles.
 Jawg (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) − Jawg is a character who protects his friends by using his indestructible teeth. He is a dog who can speak, and will not hesitate to bite intruders with his teeth.
 Chomly (voiced by Phil LaMarr) − Chomly is the lazy trash compactor of the Fang Gang who will try to crunch just about anything not nailed down. Chomly is close-talking and has incredibly bad breath. This makes no Mixel wanting to be stuck next to Chomly at a 'Fang Gang food party', but his stinking breath comes in handy for repelling the Nixels.

Flexers
Based on rubber, the Flexers are the orange tertiary tribe of Series 2. They live in the Rubberlands, in line with what they are based on.

 Kraw (voiced by Fred Tatasciore) − Kraw might be short, but he is one confident character. Claiming to be the smartest Mixel, he loves to challenge the Mixels to a quiz, but his main strength is to turn into a bouncy, rubber super ball to evade or smash Nixels. He is one of many cyclopses.
 Tentro (voiced by Phil LaMarr) − The incredibly elasticated Tentro is one of the most powerful of the Flexers. Despite being strong and super intelligent, he lacks confidence. No one knows why, though, because he has tentacles that pack a huge punch and the ability to climb any surface and capture any Nixel who attacks him.
 Balk (voiced by Billy West) − Balk may be the slowest of the Flexers, but his mallet-like head can hit, pummel, and crush whatever is in the way. His head-butting has bashed his brain cells, so he can be forgetful when finding it hard to spit out the right words, yet there is nobody better than him to defend the Rubberlands, where the Flexers themselves live, from Nixel Invasions.

Series 3

Glorp Corp
Based on slime, the Glorp Corp are the green primary tribe of Series 3. They are swamp-dwelling thrill-seekers.

 Glomp (voiced by Maddie Taylor) − Glomp is the leader of the Glorp Corp. He always "hatches hair-brained schemes" and plays goofy games, making him have lots of fun. Mixels will not get too close: the tallest Glorp Corp member usually has slimy hands and a runny nose. He is one of many cyclopses.
 Glurt (voiced by Bumper Robinson) − Glurt is a slimy hound-like creature who is the most excitable member of the Glorp Corp. With a pointy tail and a yapping mouth, he slobbers with delight when he sees anyone. An avid garbage collector, he gobbles up all the trash, cleaning up after the Glorp Corp.
 Torts (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) − Torts has bulky feet and is the slowest-moving member of the Glorp Corp. A slob who enjoys playing for thrills, he shoots gloopy, green slime from his hands. Anything can stick to him, which is great fun when goofing around and perfect for catching Nixels.

Spikels
Based on spikes, the Spikels are the tertiary tribe of Series 3. They live in a feminine-like home.

 Scorpi (voiced by Maria Bamford) − The leader of the Spikels, Scorpi loves bedtime-esque things. He always sees life with wonder and scuttles around on his centipede-like legs when seeking fun. He loves to hug and snuggle, but beware of his dangerous, pointy tail.
 Footi (voiced by Bumper Robinson) − "Livewire" Footi can't stop moving at all. Everyday's moment always bursts with exciting possibilities for him. He loves to skip, jump, and dance. The other Mixels must give him plenty of room when he starts stomping around; his huge, spiky feet are dangerous, so Mixels must watch out. He is characterized as feminine due to his voice.
 Hoogi (voiced by Maddie Taylor) − Hoogi is the slowest-moving of the Spikels. He has giant fang teeth and is also super affectionate, giving the Mixels the best hugs with his lanky arms. He walks as slowly as a zombie, but getting grabbed by his spiky hands can be painful: Mixels may want to avoid one of his hugs.

Wiztastics
Based on magic, the Wiztastics are a purple traveling troupe of magicians and the secondary tribe of Series 3. They live in a magic tent and put on shows for the Mixels.

 Magnifo (voiced by Brian Stepanek) − Magnifo is the most smart and most serious of the Wiztastics. With a wizard's hat, a wizard's cape, and two magic wands, he puts energy into every show with the help of his bumbling assistants. Even if the Mixels think his act is cheesy, they shouldn't tell him or the rest of the Wiztastics; they love it. He is one of many cyclopses.
 Mesmo (voiced by Carlos Alazraqui) − Mesmo looks the part of magic with his expressive wizard-hat eyelids, goatee beard, and magic tail that drops spells. But his problem is that he lacks in showmanship; Mesmo needs help peacocking his huge wings and stealing the show.
 Wizwuz (voiced by Bumper Robinson) − Wizwuz is the over-enthusiastic magician's assistant of the Wiztastics. On stage, he constantly messes up the show, but his improvised antics are half the fun. Whether burping spells or hanging from the ceiling, Wizwuz loves to perform and make the audience laugh.

Series 4

Orbitons
Based on space, the Orbitons are the secondary tribe of Series 4. They live in Orbitopia of the Mixel Moon.

 Niksput (voiced by Andrew Kishino) − The leader of the Orbitons, Niksput is charismatic but unintelligent, and often pretends to be smarter and braver than he actually is. He can fly at high speeds, but often crashes due to his lack of skill. He is Also one of many cyclopses.
 Nurp-Naut (voiced by Justin Grollman for Nurp and Rodger Bumpass for Naut) − Nurp-Naut has two personalities : Nurp is playful and childlike, and Naut is serious and mature. These personalities are aware of each other and even communicate with each other. Whenever his personality changes his head spins rapidly. Naut is also one of many cyclopses.
 Rokit (voiced by Phil Hayes) − Rokit is incredibly serious. Whenever he does something, he puts his full effort into it. He is often frustrated about the other Oritons' lack of discipline.

Infernite Cousins
Based on fire, the Infernite Cousins are the primary tribe of Series 4. They, like the Infernites, live in the Magma Wastelands near the center of Mixel Land.

 Meltus (voiced by Jess Harnell) − Meltus may look scary, but he is really a shy and nervous Infernite who is allergic to everything. Even when he walks outside, he starts sneezing fire.
 Flamzer (voiced by Rodger Bumpass) − Dramatic and anxious, he can move quickly, like a scaredy-cat. He is one of many cyclopses.
 Burnard (voiced by Jess Harnell) − Everything is funny to Burnard. He laughs a lot; he even laughs through fear and sadness. Even if he laughs hard enough, he spews fire. However, the only way to make him stop laughing is by telling him a funny joke whose punchline he does not get.

Glowkies
Based on bioluminescence, the Glowkies are the tertiary tribe of Series 4. They live in a cave on the Mixel Moon.

 Globert (voiced by Dave Fennoy) − Globert is flamboyant, and loves to perform. He is one of many cyclopses with their largest eye.
 Vampos (voiced by Sam Riegel) − Vampos is the athletic member of the Glowkies. Although he loves sports, he is considered very relaxed and calm.

Merchandise

Lego Mixels

Lego Mixels (stylized as LEGO Mixels) was a Lego theme based on a variety of tribes living in a fantastical diverse world and are small creatures that can mix and combine with one another to create new characters. The theme was first introduced in 2014. It was eventually discontinued by the end of 2016.

Overview
The Lego Group handles all toy merchandise for the Mixels franchise, and Cartoon Network handles all non-toy merchandising. The Lego Mixels buildable collectible figurines went on sale on March 1, 2014. Each character has their own set, and nine were released as part of series one. For each tribe, one of the three sets contains a Nixel. Series 2 was released at the end of May, and Series 3 was released at the end of August. Series 4 was released on February 1, 2015.

Development
Before Cartoon Network came to Lego, Mixels was called Monsters. It had sets of five in a tribe with overly simple designs. Some design changes include Shuff and Seismo's names being swapped with each other, Shuff having a looser crystal on his head that would have looked more like hair, Vulk's ears being red instead of black, the Nixels coming in various shapes, and Balk originally being shorter and squatter with thinner tentacles and smaller pupils. Kraw was originally named Bouncer, Gobba was Chippo, and Tentro was Flexi; other sources still slip up on Tentro and call him Flexi, though, including the Lego Magazine once.

Lego designer Gemma Anderson explained the importance of the Max figure in designing each tribe's individual figures and stating that, "During the sketching phase, I would consider what the tribe theme is and then work out what the max could be, at the same time wondering how I can use certain parts from the Max in the 3 small Mixels. It's often a case of going back and forth between the 3 models and the Max." Anderson also highlighted the importance in the characters' faces in capturing a unique personality and explained, "The eyes and mouths are a huge part of the personality of the Mixel, changing the eyebrows for example can drastically change the expressions from sad to happy, or even angry! We would often brainstorm on the names of the character; some of them might be inside jokes with the team. One example is 'Tuth' in Series 8, it was a joke in the team that me being from Wales, I pronounce some words a little differently, such as 'tooth' sounding more like 'tuth'. We decided during the naming process, we would try to name that one Mixel how I pronounce it, and we succeeded."

According to Bricklink, The Lego Group released 90 playsets as part of the Lego Mixels theme. The product line was eventually discontinued by the end of 2016.

title: Soccer Ashes

text:
The Soccer Ashes is a soccer trophy contested by Australia and New Zealand. It was initially held between the 1920s and 1950s before the trophy was lost. The trophy was found in 2023, and a renewal is scheduled for October.

History
The concept of awarding a trophy made of ashes was inspired by the Ashes urn awarded to the winner of series between Australia and England in cricket.

The Soccer Ashes were created in 1923 after New Zealand had defeated Australia in the inaugural series in 1922. The ashes consisted of the remains of cigars smoked by the two captains, Alec Gibb (Australia) and George Campbell (New Zealand). The ashes were encased in a razor case used by an Australian soldier, Andrew Fisher during the Gallipoli campaign during World War I. The case was then set in wood from both countries.

The whereabouts of the trophy were not known from the mid-1950s until they were found in 2023 by the grandchildren of former Australian Soccer Football Association chairman Sydney Storey. Upon the recovery of the trophy, the first edition of the match since 1954 was scheduled for October. It is set to be played in London.

title: 1998 Parramatta Eels season

text:
The 1998 Parramatta Eels season was the 52nd in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and captained by Dean Pay they competed in the National Rugby League's 1998 Premiership season.

Summary
Parramatta finished fourth in the newly created 20-team NRL. Parramatta had a highly successful finals series, beating the North Sydney Bears in a Qualifying Final and then backing up to defeat eventual premiers the Brisbane Broncos 15–10 at ANZ Stadium in Brisbane. Due to the win, Parramatta gained a week off before clashing with arch-rivals Canterbury in the Grand Final Qualifier.

The game was poised at 18–2 in favour of Parramatta with 11 minutes to go. However, Canterbury managed a late resurgence scoring three tries in eight minutes to tie the game up at 18–18 with Daryl Halligan kicking two side line conversions which took the game into extra-time. The extra-time period is remembered for the performance of Parramatta player Paul Carige who made three crucial errors. Parramatta would go on to lose 32-20 in extra-time.

title: The Doctor and the Soul

text:
The Doctor and the Soul is a book by Viktor E. Frankl, the Vienesse psychiatrist and founder of logotherapy.

The book explores topics on the meaning of life in general as well as the meaning of specific areas of one's life, such as work and personal relationships.

Frankl took the original manuscript of the book with him into the Nazi concentration camps where he was held. However, it was soon discarded by other inmates. Frankl later reconstructed the manuscript from memory while still in the concentration camps, and published after the end of World War II.

Contents
The Doctor and the Soul is divided into five sections:
From Psychotherapy to Logotherapy
From Psychoanalysis to Existential Analysis
Logotherapy as a Psychotherapeutic Technique
From Secular Confession to Medical Ministry
Psychotherapy on Its Way to Rehumanization

Writing
Frankl wrote the book initially during Nazi occupation of Austria. However, he was not able to publish at that time. Instead, he was forced to hide his manuscript and take it with him to the concentration camps. Soon after arriving at the concentration camp, Frankl was forced to discard his work.

A few years later, while still incarcerated, Frankl began reconstructing the manuscript from memory on scraps of paper. Sometime after his release, after the war had ended, Frankl published both Man's Search for Meaning as well as The Doctor and the Soul.

Frankl attributed his survival during the war years to his awareness of the topics written in The Doctor and the Soul. He countered the image of him as portrayed in the American media, that he discovered these ideas in the concentration camps. Instead, said Frankl, discovering this ideas prior to his arrest and detainment helped him overcome the existential crises of losing everything dear to him.

title: The Bye Bye Blackbirds

text:
The Bye Bye Blackbirds are an Oakland, California-based indie rock and power pop band, fronted by guitarist and vocalist Bradley Skaught. The San Francisco Chronicle described their work as "British Invasion guitar-pop with a twinge of country and roots," in which "disparate rock influences – '60s rock, '70s power pop, '80s college radio and indie rock – come together for catchy, harmony-laden songs."

Rock critic Tris McCall wrote that the band is "firmly established as one of the best and hardest-working independent power-pop outfits in Northern California," with songs that "contain monster singalong hooks."

Background
Bradley Skaught, the group's -year-old principal songwriter and frontman, was originally from Tacoma, Washington. Skaught began taking drum lessons while in second grade. He later moved to Oakland, California, where his musical career included a stint as drummer for Yuji Oniki, after which Skaught became better known as a guitarist and vocalist. His vocals have been called "distinctive and lovely," "a unique drawl reminiscent of Tom Petty", and likened to John Lennon.

Skaught was the founder of the band Belle Da Gama, which included Ian Robertson. The name Belle Da Gama was taken from the Salman Rushdie novel The Moor's Last Sigh. Belle Da Gama recorded one album, Garden Abstract, released in 2001 on 125 Records.

In 2005, Skaught and Robertson disbanded Belle Da Gama and formed The Bye Bye Blackbirds. The new group was named after the 1926 jazz standard Bye Bye Blackbird. Skaught and Robertson, both guitarists, recruited drummer Lenny Gill and bass player William Duke online. In forming the new band, Skaught and Robertson decided on a "back-to-basics approach" based on "fundamental things we loved as listeners – songwriting, harmony, cool guitar parts and sounds."

Recordings

Honeymoon (2006)
The Bye Bye Blackbirds released their debut recording, an EP called Honeymoon, in 2006. Bill Swan, of the indie band Beulah, produced the seven-song EP.

In a review, Richie Unterberger likened the songs to the "late-'70s power pop of Elvis Costello," also finding similarities in approach with Badfinger and the Beatles. Skaught later referred to Honeymoon as "a bit embarrassing to me, although I like a couple songs and I love the sound... It works to me as a kind of statement of intent, but it makes me squirm to hear it."

Apology Accepted and Houses and Homes (2008)
 The group released their second EP, Apology Accepted, and their first full-length album, Houses and Homes, on the American Dust label in 2008.

Unterberger likened Houses and Homes to British Invasion bands, with "tunes and the upper-register vocals [that] often echo some of the poppier Beatlesque groups of yore," praising the album's sensitive lyrics and "upbeat guitar-oriented pop/rock with a tinge of the bittersweet." In contrast to the album's dominant pop sound were the dreamy instrumental "Next Door", and the tenser, Brian Eno-like ambient track "Murray Morgan's Last Dream".

Skaught called Houses and Homes "satisfyingly better than Honeymoon to me.... We experimented a lot – goofy stuff with tape echoes and lots of layers." The bluegrass-tinged song "The Ghosts Are All Right" was featured in the book Music: What Happened?, which named it as a favorite for that year, describing the song as "a Byrds-worthy meditation on history and responsibility in a local community."

Apology Accepted, a download-only EP, included "Monster Eyes", a song written with novelist Jonathan Lethem from "lyrical fragments" of his novel You Don't Love Me Yet, and performed with Lethem at a reading. The title track of Apology Accepted was a cover of a song by The Go-Betweens.

Fixed Hearts (2011)
 Before recording 2011's Fixed Hearts, bass player William Duke, who had previously shared songwriting responsibilities with Skaught, left the band. Skaught stated that writing all of the songs on Fixed Hearts was "liberating" and that the album benefited from his resulting confidence, and from the contributions of new bass player Aaron Rubin and producer Paul Tyler.

The title is a reference to drummer Lenny Gill's then-recent heart surgery, as well as to the protagonists of the songs, who emerge from heartbreak with their own hearts repaired.

Reviewing Fixed Hearts, the Aquarian Weekly cited the "general giddiness of the album", moving from a "nostalgic and swinging vibe" through songs with a "country-pop sound" and "pulsing drums", to the "peaceful" final tracks.

AllMusic's Jack Rabid wrote that the album had the "brightly ringing, polished/unthreatening, anodyne" 1960s pop vibe of a "groovy guitar pop party" where "nice guys finish first and get the girl in the finale." The review cited Skaught's "easy sincerity and the group's harmonic gifts," embracing a "Panglossian panoply of this period from when they were pups, cutting in country-pop, folk, and—heck yeah—a horns-laden opener with bits of Memphis soul."

We Need the Rain (2013)

Production notes
The group's 2013 album, We Need the Rain, was produced by Paul Tyler, except for two tracks produced by KC Bowman (of Agony Aunts and Corner Laughers). The album marks Ian Robertson's final contributions as a member, prior to his departure to form a solo project, Black Butterfly Gang.

 Skaught dedicated We Need the Rain to Scott Miller, his "musical mentor". Miller was not involved with the album, but Skaught told the San Francisco Chronicle that Miller's death in April 2013 was "the most painful and devastating blow", leading Skaught to consider the album "a kind of anchor, something to channel all that chaos through ... It's the first record we've made that we couldn't take to him and get that final vote of confidence on."

Critical response and reviews
We Need the Rain was named one of the "Top 20 Releases of 2013" by Goldmine, with critic John M. Borack citing guitars that "jangle, strum and get muscular when they need to."

The San Francisco Chronicle described the album as having "sweetly melancholy jingle-jangle and satisfyingly gutsy guitar and bass parts" with "soulful crunch." Reviewer Bill Kopp wrote in Musoscribe that "chiming guitars, ear candy hooks, punchy guitar riffage, tight vocal harmonies" provide the emotional and "visceral punch" of power pop. In Dirty Impound, Dennis Cook wrote, "Every tune practically shimmies out of the speakers, cool small details etched into ceaselessly ear-snagging melodies as sweet, gently yearning voices sing about love and the weather in ways that make both seem brand new."

According to Tris McCall of the Newark Star-Ledger, the album took a new and "more aggressive approach" in which "guitars still twinkle and shimmer, on occasion, but this time around, they growl, twist, stutter and snap, too." McCall wrote, "Although Skaught's essential optimism is always visible," this "isn't always a happy album," with songs "both more direct and more discontented" than Skaught's prior work. "Yet it is the deepest, gutsiest and most rewarding set in the band's discography, and it points the way forward for a project that once felt like a formal exercise in songcraft."

Take Out The Poison (2017)

Production notes
The 2017 album Take Out The Poison was recorded primarily by Scott Evans at Antisleep and Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA. The line-up of the band was in flux at this time and, as  a result, the album features three different drummers: Charlie Crabtree, Ian Lee and Andrew Wakefield. It is the first of the band's albums for which Lenny Gill is the full-time lead guitarist. Take Out The Poison is notable for featuring three duets, with Lindsay Paige Garfield, Julie Wakefield and Olivia Mancini being the featured duet vocalists. The album is also the first by the band to feature a string section on two songs, arranged by Bay Area musician and composer Mark Clifford. A video for the first single, "Duet", was filmed in San Francisco by Mike Tittel, who also took the cover photograph.

Critical response and reviews
Commenting on the diversity of the material and the ambition in pursuing different sounds and styles, Musoscribe critic Bill Kopp wrote "this album revels in those seemingly incompatible forms." Tim Hiney at Dagger 'Zine wrote that songwriter Skaught "mines several decades of rock n’ roll and up comes up with another winner"

Boxer At Rest (2020)

Production notes
Boxer At Rest was recorded at Hyde Street Studios in San Francisco by engineer Chris von Sneidern and produced by Doug Gillard. It's the first album by the band to feature drummer Jozef Becker (notably of The Loud Family and Thin White Rope). Initial tracking for the record was done in early 2019 without guitarist Lenny Gill who had undergone a heart transplant and was still hospitalized at the time. After a full recovery, Lenny returned to the studio in late 2019 to add his lead guitar parts. Longtime collaborator Bill Swan returned to arrange the horns on "Baby It's Still You" and "You Were All Light". The album features the harmony vocals of Kelly Atkins extensively alongside those of KC Bowman.

Critical response and reviews
Don Valentine, writing for I Don't Hear A Single, wrote, "Boxer At Rest is a magnificent album, a proper album to be listened to from start to finish. It will definitely be up there at the end of year awards." Mike Baron wrote "If architecture is frozen music, the Blackbirds’ songs are fluid Frank Lloyd Wright or Charles Haertling, beautiful, inviting designs in which you want to live." Dave Franklin commented, "The secret of The Bye Bye Blackbirds sound seems to be that whilst they walk with the swagger of a rock band, they think with the precision of a pop outfit. And if they seem to tip their hats to a few past, pop greats, they do so whilst stepping confidently into the future..." In a Q&A at the Sweet Sweet Music blog, Skaught suggests the choice of Gillard as producer was in part because "we knew him a bit, but also he’s got this amazing body of work for decades and is also a brilliant songwriter." Speaking to Andrea Weiss at All Around Records, Skaught explains the thematic origins of the songs on the album as a combination of personal losses and struggles in society and community: "You know, we’ve lost some really good friends and people from our musical circles, and on top of that the struggles of our times and places – the political landscape, wealth disparity, gentrification, this feeling of things fraying around the edges. I think a lot of just living in Oakland has fed into these songs – Ghost Ship, homeless encampments in public spaces, venues closing, people on the margins pushed even further out. I think the songs sit right where the personal and the public are the same thing."

The 1999 Parramatta Eels season was the 53rd in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and captained by Jarrod McCracken and Nathan Cayless, they competed in the National Rugby League's 1999 Telstra Premiership.

Summary
Parramatta continued their success and consistency into the second year of the new National Rugby League, finishing two points behind Minor Premiers Cronulla. Parramatta kicked off their finals series with a comfortable 30–16 win against Newcastle at Parramatta Stadium.

However Parramatta could not back up that performance against Melbourne, after having a week off. Similar to the 1998 preliminary final loss to Canterbury, Parramatta lead the match 16-0 early before going into the half-time break winning 16-6. In the second half, Parramatta had chances to book their place in the grand final which included Jason Smith knocking the ball on with two players unmarked on his left hand side. This followed on from the first half where Dennis Moran knocked the ball on over the line where he was unmarked. In the end it was Melbourne who would comeback to win 18-16 at the Sydney Football Stadium in an upset victory.

title: Hearts and Minds (1995 TV series)

text:
Hearts and Minds is a British television series created by Jimmy McGovern and first aired on Channel 4 from 16 February to 9 March 1995. The series won the Royal Television Society award for Best Serial Drama.

The series is about a young teacher at a tough Liverpool high school. After working in a factory, Drew Mackenzie (Christopher Eccleston) manages to educate himself to become a teacher. He wants to share his idealistic approach to rising above his circumstances with his Liverpool students, but soon finds himself caught in the crossfire of racial tensions, homophobia, and the difficult home lives of the teenagers.

According to series creator Jimmy McGovern, the series was based in part on the three years he spent as an English teacher at the Quarry Bank school in Liverpool.  The series was well reviewed by British critics, who praised its realism as compared to other well known school dramas.

title: 2000 Parramatta Eels season

text:
The 2000 Parramatta Eels season was the 54th in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the National Rugby League's 2000 Telstra Premiership.

Summary
Parramatta finished an inconsistent 2000 season in seventh place. However, in the first week of the Finals series, Parramatta was involved in a big upset, defeating the second placed Sydney Roosters 32–8 at the Sydney Football Stadium. It must be noted though that there was only three points which separated the two clubs on the competition ladder.

The Parramatta side managed to repeat the result against local rivals Penrith the next week in a comfortable 28–10 win in front of 25,746 at the same venue, meaning that the club reached their third straight NRL Preliminary Final. Parramatta were looking to make it "Third Time Lucky" against the former NRL premiers, Brisbane Broncos, but it ended up to be "Third Time Unlucky" as the Broncos won the match 16–10. Parramatta were known throughout the 2000 season as the "Baby Eels" due to the club having only eight players in the entire squad who were over the age of 25.

Friedrich Karl Johann Vaupel ( 23 May 1876, Kreuznach – 4 May 1927, Berlin) was a German botanist who specialized in the study of cacti. He was the binomial authority of many species within the family Cactaceae.

He studied medicine and natural sciences in Berlin, Heidelberg and Munich, obtaining his PhD in 1903 as a student of Karl Ritter von Goebel at Munich. While still a student, he participated in a scientific journey to Mexico and the West Indies (1899–1900). Following graduation, from 1903 to 1907, he was involved in an extended expedition to India, Australia and Samoa.

In 1908 he began work as an assistant at the botanical museum in Berlin-Dahlem, where in 1921 he became a curator. In 1926 he was awarded with the title of professor. The genus Vaupelia was named in his honor by botanist August Brand (1863–1930).

Published works
He was an editor of the multi-volume "Blühende Kakteen (Iconographia cactacearum)", issued in 45 parts from 1900 to 1921. The project was originated by Karl Moritz Schumann in 1900, and continued by Max Gürke and Vaupel. Other written efforts by Vaupel include:
 Vier von Ule in Nordbrasilien und Peru gesammelte Kakteen, (1913).
 Zeitschrift für Sukkulentenkunde, (editor).
 Die Kakteen: Monographie der Cactaceae, (1925, 1926).

title: 2001 Parramatta Eels season

text:
The 2001 Parramatta Eels season was the 55th in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the National Rugby League's 2001 Telstra Premiership, reaching the 2001 NRL Grand final.

Summary
In 2001, Parramatta set a regular-season points scoring record in the premiership by scoring 839 points in 26 matches on their way to claiming the minor premiership. In their fifth consecutive Finals Series, Parramatta dominated the series, starting with a 56–12 victory over the New Zealand Warriors at Parramatta Stadium in front of 17,336. After getting a week off, Parramatta defeated the Brisbane Broncos at Stadium Australia, 24–16 in the rematch of the 2000 preliminary final.

Parramatta went into the decider as hot favourites after losing just once in 22 matches. Despite this the team was defeated in their first grand final appearance in fifteen years. They lost 30–24 against the Newcastle Knights, trailing 24–0 at half-time.

Parramatta set a number of point scoring records throughout the season which as of 2023 are yet to be broken which include, most points in a regular season (839). They also set the record for most tries (159) and most points (943) in a full premiership season. The 2001 Parramatta side also held the records for most tries in a regular season and highest points differential of any side in a regular season, however both of these records were broken by Melbourne in the 2021 NRL season.

title: Jacopo Antonio Mannini

text:
Jacopo Antonio Mannini or Giacomo Antonio Manini (August 23, 1646 in Bologna – February 10, 1752) was an Italian painter of the late Baroque period. He mainly painted quadratura.

He trained first with Andrea Monticelli, then with Domenico Santi. Along with the figure painter, Sigismondo Caula, Mannini painted the ceiling frescoes (1702) of the church of San Barnaba in Modena. The work was restored in 1858. He also painted the ceiling of the Oratory of St Sebastian. He also painted, along with Marcantonio Chiarini, temporary decoration for festivities sponsored by the court of the Duke of Modena. His brother Angelo Michele helped him complete the decoration of San Bartolomeo in Modena.

title: 2005 Parramatta Eels season

text:
The 2005 Parramatta Eels season was the 59th in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the NRL's 2005 Telstra Premiership. The Eels finished the home and away season on top of the ladder to claim the minor premiership, but were knocked out in the preliminary final, going down 0–29 to the North Queensland Cowboys.

Summary
The 2005 season marked a resurgence of the Parramatta Eels; after two years in the wilderness, the club were back into premiership contention after ending the season as minor premiers on 36 points, ahead of the St. George Illawarra Dragons on points differential. The first week of the 2005 Finals Series saw a comfortable 46–22 win over the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles, who were in their first finals campaign since the creation of the National Rugby League in 1998. Following the week off, Parramatta were beaten by the Johnathan Thurston-led North Queensland at ANZ Stadium, 29–0, ending another season in disappointment.

Adding further salt to the wound, Parramatta's inspirational forward Nathan Hindmarsh missed the entire finals series and popular cult figure Fuifui Moimoi was suspended in the final round of the season, also missing the finals. Parramatta had also defeated eventual premiers the Wests Tigers twice throughout the season, defeated St. George Illawarra and also recorded a 50-12 victory over North Queensland earlier in the year.

title: 2006 Parramatta Eels season

text:
The 2006 Parramatta Eels season was the 60th in the club's history. Coached by Brian Smith and Jason Taylor and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the NRL's 2006 Telstra Premiership.

Summary
The Parramatta Eels began the 2006 season with the knowledge that their coach Brian Smith, would not be there next season, after being asked to step down by the management of the Parramatta Eels rugby league club in what turned out to be a direct trade with the Newcastle Knights club for their coach, Michael Hagan. However, Smith resigned officially on 15 May 2006, after an extremely poor start to the season, which left the Parramatta side running 14th and second-last.

Assistant coach and former Parramatta player, Jason Taylor, took over as caretaker manager for the rest of the year and led a Parramatta resurgence in the second-half of the season to eventually reach eighth position by season's end including a nine-game winning streak. They were, however, eliminated by eventual runners-up Melbourne Storm in the first week of the finals, 6–12. Melbourne were later found guilty of wilful and deliberate breaches of the salary cap over a five year period between 2006-2010.

title: A Lume Spento

text:
A Lume Spento (translated by the author as With Tapers Quenched) is a 1908 poetry collection by Ezra Pound. Self-published in Venice, it was his first collection.

Background and writing
Ezra Pound (1885–1972) studied Romance languages and literature, including French, Italian, Provençal and Spanish, at the University of Pennsylvania and Hamilton College. In these studies Pound—long interested in poetry—had gained an interest in turn-of-the-century English poetry.

Pound dedicated A Lume Spento to Philadelphia artist William Brooke Smith, one of his friends, who had recently died of tuberculosis. The two had met in 1901–02, and Smith—an avid reader—introduced Pound to the works of English decadents such as Oscar Wilde and Aubrey Beardsley. The title of the work is an allusion to the third canto of Dante's Purgatory, where it occurs in the speech of Manfred, King of Sicily, as he describes the treatment his excommunicated corpse has endured, exhumed, and discarded without light along the banks of the river Verde. The procession of priests with unlit tapers is similar to the imagery in the practice of "bell, book and candle", but Manfred remains optimistic that "by their curse we are not so destroy'd, / But that the eternal love may turn, while hope / Retains her verdant blossom...". Critic Hugh Witemeyer wrote that, overall, the implication is that Smith had led an unorthodox life like that of Manfred.

The collection was initially meant to be titled La Fraisne ("The Ash Tree"). Although this title was not kept, the poem of the same name was presented second in the collection.

Contents and themes
A Lume Spento consists of 45 poems.

A Lume Spento is replete with allusions to works which had influenced Pound, including Provençal and late Victorian literatures. Pound adopts Robert Browning's technique of dramatic monologues, and as such he "appears to speak in the voices of historical or legendary figures". These figures, Witemeyer writes, reflect the spiritualism common in the period, in which the different personae Pound adapts are considered "mediumistic channelings" of the deceased.

In his biography of Pound, David A. Moody argues that the collection demonstrated an implicit challenge to the "crepuscular spirit" prevalent in contemporary literature, one which has drawn little attention yet can be found in certain poems and the collection's arrangement. He notes a progression in which persons who let their passion get the best of them are, implicitly, relegated to a Dantean Hell. In two of the poems ("Famam Librosque Cano" and "Scriptor Ignotus"), he writes, Pound appears to be questioning his own poetry, yet also showing unbound pride at his ability. This last poem, according to Moody, is the culmination of this progression and challenge: "If 'La Fraisne' represented the lowest state of being, then in 'Scriptor Ignotus' we have the poet himself as aspiring to the most exalted state of his poetic soul".

Release and reception
After completing the poems, Pound attempted to find an American company to publish them. He thought that it would impress publisher Thomas Bird Mosher, but was mistaken; Mosher refused to acknowledge the then-unknown poet. Unsuccessful with finding an American publisher, by February 1908 had left for Europe, first arriving in Gibraltar, then moving to Venice, Italy. It is in this latter city that Pound ultimately self-published A Lume Spento in July 1908, with the printer A. Antonini.

Upon arriving in Venice, Pound had only $80 to his name; $8 of this was spent printing A Lume Spento. Paper for this first printing was reportedly left over from the Venetian press's recent history of the church, and Pound supervised the printing process himself. Only 150 copies were printed. Pound was not confident of the quality of the work and considered dumping the proofs into a canal, later writing in Canto LXXVI:

   shd/I chuck the lot into the tide-water?
      Le Bozze "A Lume Spento"/
            and by the column of Todero
      shd/I shift to the other side.

In August, Pound moved to London, and by the end of the year he had persuaded the bookseller Elkin Mathews to display the collection. By October 1908, Pound's work had begun to receive critical commentary, both in the press and amongst the writing community. In a review of A Lume Spento, the London Evening Standard called it "wild and haunting stuff, absolutely poetic, original, imaginative, passionate, and spiritual". Later reception has been mixed. Moody writes that there is evidence of "some real mastery of rhythm and rhyme" in the work, but the quality of the poems drops dramatically as the collection continues.

Although Pound continued to seek an American publisher for A Lume Spento, he was unsuccessful. He published his second collection, A Quinzaine for this Yule, in December 1908. Pound's main poems from A Lume Spento were reprinted in his 1909 collection Personae; this collection begins with the same motto A Lume Spento ends, "Make strong old dreams lest this our world lose heart". Some more poems were included in later collections. A Lume Spento was first republished in full in 1965, as part of A Lume Spento and Other Early Poems, then again in 1976 as part of Collected Early Poems.

The 2008 Parramatta Eels season was the 62nd in the club's history. Coached by Michael Hagan and captained by Nathan Cayless, they competed in the National Rugby League's 2008 Telstra Premiership.

Summary
After being billed at premiership contenders by several prominent betting agencies, including TAB SportsBet, the Parramatta Eels failed to impress in the 2008, a season that could only be described as a huge disappointment. The Eels finished 11th in an inconsistent season marred by Jarryd Hayne's controversial shooting incident in the pre-season. Despite the poor performance by Parramatta, CEO Denis Fitzgerald stressed that Michael Hagan's position as club coach was not in danger. Michael Hagan resigned as coach on 21 October 2008, citing family and health reasons for his decision.

title: Bernard Lokai

text:
Bernard Lokai (born 5 September 1960) is a German painter. He studied at the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf and was a student of Gerhard Richter, and part of the Young Figuratives movement. He lives and works in Düsseldorf and Berlin, Germany. In 2002 he began teaching at the Freie Kunstakademie Essen in Essen in the Department of Painting and Graphics.

Life
Lokai was born on 5 September 1960 in Bohumín, Czechoslovakia. After his parents left Czechoslovakia, Bernard Lokai grew up in Düren, Germany. After finishing high school he began to study art at Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 1982. In 1987 he finished the academy as Meisterschüler of Gerhard Richter. At the academy he met the colorfield landscape painter Hans-Jörg Holubitschka, with whom he has participated in several exhibitions as part of the exhibition serial Young Figuratives.

Work
Bernard Lokai's work incorporates the gestural brushstrokes of Abstract Expressionism and the spray paint of graffiti. His "Landscape Block" works consist of multi-panelled grids composed of eighteen 12 by 16 inch panels, each painted in the studio, then combined into a grid at random.

Art critic Mara Hoberman wrote that Bernard Lokai's Landscape Blocks depict "eighteen land-, sea-, and sky-scapes in disparate styles quoting, in turn, the brushstrokes of Monet, Turner, and Richter (his teacher), among others."
