title: 2014 Medina hotel fire

text:
The 2014 Medina hotel fire was a hotel fire that occurred in a hotel in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The fire killed at least 15 people and another 130 were injured.

History
Around seven hundred pilgrims from different countries were staying at the hotel in Medina to perform the Umrah. An electrical short circuit caused a fire to break out in the hotel. According to a local government statement the fire was first reported at 6:30 pm ET, and the blaze was contained by 9:00 pm ET. Fifteen Egyptian pilgrims were killed and one hundred and thirty other pilgrims were injured as a result of the fire. Preliminary indications suggested that those who were killed died of suffocation. The Egyptian consul general in the city of Jiddah, told reporters that most of the injured were Egyptians and that two children were among the dead. It took the rescue teams around two hours to put out the fire completely.

title: Helen Blau

text:
Helen Margaret Blau is an American biologist and the Donald E. and Delia B. Baxter Foundation Professor and Director of the Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology at Stanford University School of Medicine. She is known for establishing the reversibility of the mammalian differentiated state.  Her landmark papers showed that nuclear reprogramming and the activation of novel programs of gene expression were possible, overturning the prevailing view that the differentiated state was fixed and irreversible.  Her discoveries opened the door for cellular reprogramming and its application to stem cell biology.

Biography

Helen Blau was born in London and is a dual citizen of the United States and Great Britain. She earned a B.A. from the University of York in England and an M.A. and Ph.D. in biology from Harvard University with Fotis C. Kafatos.  After a postdoctoral fellowship with Charles J. Epstein in the Departments of Biochemistry and Biophysics and the Division of Medical Genetics at UCSF, she joined the faculty at Stanford University in 1978.  She was awarded an endowed chair in 1999 and named Director of the Baxter Laboratory for Stem Cell Biology in 2002.

Blau is known for her support of women in science and success in mentoring numerous young scientists who comprise the next generation of academic leaders in muscle biology and regenerative medicine.

Research

In the 1980s Dr. Blau's findings challenged the prevalent view that the mammalian differentiated state is fixed and irreversible.  In her famous heterokaryon experiments she fused differentiated cells of two different species to form stable non-dividing heterokaryons, and found that previously silent genes could be activated. As a result, human keratinocytes, hepatocytes and fibroblasts expressed muscle genes that they normally never would. This body of work showed that the differentiated state requires continuous regulation and that a shift in the stoichiometry of trans-acting regulators induces nuclear reprogramming to another differentiated state. Her discoveries fostered the development of the field of stem cell biology and regenerative medicine.

Blau characterized muscle stem cells and showed they are dysfunctional in aging and in muscular dystrophy. She showed that stem cells lose their regenerative potential when grown in traditional plastic dishes and overcame this limitation by fabricating bioengineered microenvironments that mimic crucial stem cell niche and tissue properties. She
has applied this approach to identify molecules that rejuvenate the function of
the aged stem cell population and enhance muscle regeneration.

Blau showed that telomere dysfunction in conjunction with dystrophin deficiency plays a central role in the skeletal muscle wasting and fatal cardiomyopathy characteristic of Duchenne muscular dystrophy.  Her lab's novel technologies enable rapid, transient and robust elongation of telomeres to overcome cellular dysfunction due to short telomeres, which have translational applications.

Dr. Blau's lab applied evolutionary lessons from newts and salamanders that regenerate limbs to identify genes that constitute barriers to regeneration.  By transiently alleviating these brakes on the cell cycle, post-mitotic cells are induced to divide, reconstituting a regenerative cell source.

A hallmark of Blau's research is the development and application of novel technologies. Her discovery of β-galactosidase complementation is widely used in drug discovery. Non-invasive bioluminescence imaging enables highly sensitive temporal and spatial resolution of muscle stem cell regenerative function in vivo. Using single cell lineage tracking and the Baxter algorithms her lab developed, cell morphology, movement, cell-cell interactions, division behavior and gene expression can be dynamically monitored, resolving the cellular basis for population changes, in response to pharmacologic interventions.  She has eight issued US patents.

Current research

Blau's ongoing research focuses on cellular reprogramming, therapeutic interventions to enhance stem cell function in muscle regeneration, and cell rejuvenation strategies.

title: Robert Barnes (physician)

text:
Robert Barnes (4 September 1817 – 12 May 1907) was an English obstetric physician, known as a gynaecologist, teacher, author and medical politician.

Life
Born at Norwich on 4 September 1817, he was second son and second child of the six children of Philip Barnes, an architect, by his wife Harriet Futter, daughter of a Norfolk squire. Educated at Bruges from 1826 to 1830 and at home, where one of his tutors was George Borrow, Barnes began his medical career in 1832 as an apprentice in Norwich to Dr. Richard Griffin. When his family moved to London he studied at University College, the Windmill Street school, and at St. George's Hospital.

Becoming a member of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1842, Barnes spent a year in Paris, where he concentrated on mental illness; on his return to London he settled in general practice in Notting Hill. His ambition at this point was to become a medical teacher: he lectured at the Hunterian School of Medicine and on forensic medicine at Dermott's School, and was obstetric surgeon to the Western general dispensary. He graduated M.D. London in 1848, and in 1853 became L.R.C.P. and in 1859 F.R.C.P.

On 1 April 1859, Barnes was elected assistant obstetric physician, and on 14 July 1863 obstetric physician, to the London Hospital. He moved on 24 April 1865 to a similar post at St. Thomas's Hospital, where he had lectured on midwifery since April 1862. In 1875, he left St. Thomas's Hospital, where he was dean of the medical school, to become obstetric physician at St. George's Hospital; there he was elected consulting obstetric physician in 1885. He had also acted as physician to the Seamen's Hospital, the East London Hospital for Children, and the Royal Maternity Hospital.

Barnes took a prominent part in founding the Obstetrical Society of London in 1858 and was president in 1865–6. But a dispute with the council of this society led him in 1884 to establish the British Gynæcological Society, of which he was honorary president until his death. The older society was hostile to the performance of ovariotomy and other operations by obstetricians. Barnes was one of the pioneers of operative gynæcology, and prevailed: the two societies were united in the obstetrical and gynæcological section of the Royal Society of Medicine in 1907.

At the London College of Physicians Barnes delivered the Lumleian lectures On Convulsive Diseases in Women in 1873 and was censor (1877–8).
He was elected honorary fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1883; of the Medical Society of London in 1893 (he had given the Lettsomian lectures in 1858), and of the Royal Medical and Chirurgical Society at the centenary meeting of 1905.

A leading teacher and gynæcologist in London, Barnes was a rival of James Matthews Duncan both in debates at the Obstetrical Society,  and in practice. He was also a director of the Prudential Assurance Company (1848–9; 1884–1907), amassed a fortune, and gave to medical institutions including St. George's Hospital, where the pathological laboratory was called after him. He died at Eastbourne on 12 May 1907, and was buried there.

Works
Barnes was author of:

 Obstetrical Operations, 1870; 3rd ed. 1876; translated into French.
 Medical and Surgical Diseases of Women, 1873; translated into French.
 Obstetric Medicine and Surgery, 2 vols. (with his son, Fancourt Barnes), 1884.
 Causes of Puerperal Fever, 1887.

In early life Barnes contributed to The Lancet. He wrote also 32 papers in the Transactions of the Obstetrical Society, and an official report on scurvy at the Seamen's Hospital, 1864.

Family
Barnes married:

 Eliza Fawkener, daughter of a London solicitor; and
 Alice Maria, daughter of Captain W. G. Hughes, of Carmarthenshire, D.L. and J.P. for that county.

By his first wife he had one son, Dr. R. S. Fancourt Barnes, and two daughters, and by his second wife one son and one daughter.

title: Serang railway station

text:
Serang Station (), is a railway station located in Cimuncang, Serang, Serang, Banten on the Merak–Tanah Abang railway. The station is located to the northeast of the city center.

Previously, this station also served long-distance passenger trains and local trains such as Kalimaya, Patas Merak and Krakatau trains. As of 1 April 2017, the Kalimaya and Patas Merak trains were declared to have stopped operating because they were replaced by the new Rangkasbitung Line service of the KRL Commuterline, and on the same date, the Merak Local Train route was cut to only Rangkasbitung–Merak PP, from the previous Tanah Abang–Merak PP route. On 17 July 2017, the Krakatau train route was also cut to become Pasar Senen–Blitar PP from the previous Merak–Blitar PP, and the name was changed to Singasari train.

History
Serang Station was opened on 1 July 1900, together with the completion of the railway stretch between Rangkasbitung and Serang. Serang was a terminal station for several months until 20 December 1900. On that day the line extension to Anyer Kidul was finished, thereby completing the entire Banten railway () in order to accommodate the port of Merak as the crossing facility to Lampung.

Serang Station originally had 4 lines, but now there are only 3 lines left because the 4th line has been dismantled. In addition to the passenger station, this station was also a loading and unloading place for freight cars, where the cargo was unloaded into a warehouse located in the corner of the station embankment. In addition to warehouses, Serang Station also has a water tower facility for steam locomotives.

In the past, on the plot between Serang Station and Karangantu Station there was a Kedungcinde halt, while on the plot leading to Walantaka Station there was a Cihideung halt. These railway stops are no longer active.

Building and layout
Serang Station has 3 train lines with line 2 as a straight line. There is land on the former line 4 which previously functioned as a stockpile, and line 4 is the line used for loading and unloading of goods from the carriages into the warehouse building which is in the corner of the station embankment. Right next to this former warehouse, there is also a former water tower which was used for a steam locomotive.

Given Serang's status as a provincial capital, the station has been a relatively important stop on the Banten railway. This is reflected in the more extensive facilities, such as multiple platforms and tracks. The station actually has four tracks, but the easternmost track is unusable, leaving only three tracks in use.

The front of the station building faces west. The building stands on foundations of up to 60 centimeters from the ground. The station building has two main rooms: one for the train dispatcher and station master, and another for administration and ticket sale. Between these two is the waiting area. Part of the building still retains the original Dutch architecture, such as the tall doors and windows.

Incidents

 On 8 June 2015, The pipeline freight train from Krenceng to Semarang collapsed at the crossing close to this station, there were no fatalities in this incident. As a result of this incident, a number of trains bound for Tanah Abang experienced delays and the access road was temporarily closed.
 In 2022, Lokal Merak heading to Rangkasbitung left this station and crashed into an odong-odong at Silebu about 5 metres from the station injuring several passengers and killing 9. The crossing gates has been installed at the site where the accident occurred.

title: Trance to the Sun

text:
Trance to the Sun (1990–present) is a neo-psychedelic post-punk band originally based out of Santa Barbara, California. The band consists of multi-instrumentalist Ashkelon Sain (born Gregory Lloyd Sain) as the primary songwriter, performer and producer, and has featured three full-time vocalists—Ingrid Blue (also known as Ingrid Luna - born Ingrid Justina Holden) (1997–present), Dawn Michelle Wagner (1997), and Zoë Alexandra Wakefield (1993–1996). Trance to the Sun recordings have often included guest contributors, and tour line-ups have usually included one or more additional musicians. Currently, the band consists of Ashkelon Sain, Ingrid Luna, and Daniel Henderson, with additional live musician Terry Luna on bass guitar.

Trance to the Sun has had a considerable impact on the dark wave, gothic rock and post-punk music scenes in the U.S. and abroad. Mike Ventarola of the internet radio station Hidden Sanctuary described Trance to the Sun as "one of a few select bands from that part of the world whose previous compilation appearances, CD’s and tour dates read like a who’s who for the goth underground. Despite the multiple band lineup changes over the years, the core group remained tenacious and steadfast. They are applauded and adored by fans worldwide because they haven’t sold out to the corporate mindset looking for the one hit wonder of the week. Instead, they created a legacy of music that is at once entertaining as it is intelligent."

Also noteworthy is the band's productivity. Between 1993 and 2002, Trance to the Sun released 7 studio albums, one E.P., and one live concert album, and toured the U.S. five times. As of April 2014, 25 Trance to the Sun songs have been featured on 23 artist compilations. Trance To The Sun halted the making of any new music in 2002. During the band's inactive period, the band released three compilations including previously released and unreleased material, and two remastered albums. The Ingrid Blue version of the band reunited for a one-show reunion performance in 2007.

In 2013, Trance to the Sun reformed to tour and release their 8th studio album titled Via Subterranea, which is slated for a 2016 release. In January 2014, the band performed live for the first time in 7 years, and for the first time in support of a (forthcoming) studio album in 13 years.

Early Years (1990 - 1993)

The origin of the name Trance to the Sun was explained by Sain in 1995. "Our music is for the nocturnal environment, delivered in a trance-like state, made possible by the wealth of energy dealt to earth in the daytime by the sun."

Trance to the Sun began in 1990 as Ashkelon Sain performing solo electric guitar in Southern California. He received a favorable response to his first cassette release Volcano (1990) on his personal label Etherhaus, which was followed up by a second cassette release Dusk in 1991 on Etherhaus. Between 1990 and 1992 Sain also performed intermittently with the band This Ascension, and in 1991 started the band Blade Fetish with Matt Ballesteros of This Ascension and Mark Linder.

Sain recalled Trance to the Sun's beginnings in a 1995 interview with Morbid Outlook magazine. "The spirit of Trance to the Sun began in 1990 when I forewent [sic] convention and released a cassette called Trance to the Sun "Volcano" which consisted of nothing more than eight works played on electric guitar with a plethora of ambient, spacious effects. Another cassette entitled "Dusk" followed in 1991—one song-forty minutes. The last three tracks on our "Ghost Forest" CD are the culmination of that period, from one of about ten live performances I did around Santa Barbara and LA. There were some "off" periods in 1992 and 1993, where I was involved in Blade Fetish and This Ascension."

The Wakefield Period (1993 - 1996)

Ghost Forest

Blade Fetish broke up in 1992, reformed in 1993 and toured the U.S., and then parted ways again. During the break, Sain began recording new songs on his 4-track with his then-girlfriend Wakefield, and recording his live performances. Sain recalled the time in a 1995 interview. "Stepping down from the rehearsal and performance rigors of [Blade Fetish and This Ascension], I went back to work in my studio. Then I heard Zoë sing...."

Tess Records signed Trance to the Sun in 1993 and the band released Ghost Forest, a collection of Sain's live and studio recordings, on cassette later that year. Additional musicians included Wakefield on vocals in “Cauldron Street” and "August Rain V.1", and guest contributions by Dave Stein on keyboards, and guitar by Kevin Serra of This Ascension on the track "August Rain V.1".

The European branch of Tess Records requested a CD version of the Ghost Forest. With the intent to raise the fidelity of the recording, a partially re-recorded version of the album was submitted for release on CD in 1994. Sain would eventually remaster the original cassette version for re-release on Below Sea Level Recordings in 2012. Glenn Petteys, who had also toured with Faith & the Muse and Blade Fetish, performed live with the band in 1994 in support of the album.

"Bloom Flowers, Bloom!"

In early 1995, Trance to the Sun released "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!" with Sain recording or programming instruments and with Wakefield in a more established vocalist/lyricist role. Alternative Press noted that the album "incorporates elements of experimental, goth, ambient, and rock into an ethereal stew, emphasizing cyclical trance structures around which the various elements interweave. Zoë's vocals are often indiscernible, which can be a bit frustrating, but it's the aural quality of her voice that is more important, acting as another instrument and not just a vessel for lyrics, which here are dream-like in their flow and not bereft of meaning."

To support "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!", Sain and Wakefield toured the U.S. with the band Lycia with additional musician Israel Medina performing bass guitar. During one of these shows, Lycia vocalist Mike Van Portfleet lost his voice, and Sain filled in for vocal duties.

The band was very close with Lycia and enjoyed their time on tour together. Sain: "We set up a show for [ Lycia ] to play with us in Santa Barbara. They invited us to play a show with them in Phoenix. Mike is so swell and helpful. I knew I wanted to tour with them and so did he. By the time our west coast shows rolled around, our respective record companies were booking us a joint national tour....

"Mike lost his voice toward the end so I did my best to sing for them in Atlanta. I felt I had done terribly but afterward, all these people came up to me saying, 'I've loved you since Ionia.' I also wrote a bassline for their song Nine Hours Later, which they invited me onstage to play at several shows."

Also during this tour, Trance to the Sun played C1, the first annual floating Convergence festival, in Chicago, Illinois. The band also began appearing on artist compilation albums at this time.

Despite frequently being considered as part of the gothic rock genre, Sain did not view the music as such, though he did credit its listeners with discovering many noteworthy bands: "Goth is an important doorway for lots of things that would not be accepted easily anywhere else. For example, who were the first people to embrace the Sugarcubes? Goths. And now we have a megastar of Björk. Pixies 1988? Gothic audience, not fratboys. Einsturzende Neubaten walked in through the "gothic" door—Miranda Sex Garden—Cocteau Twins. It's no wonder nobody can agree on what "Gothic" means... depth and dissonance and polite confrontationalism are quite possibly the only denominators.... I just like to play interesting music. It just so happens to be the 'goths' who are listening."

"I like good goth music a lot and I do see a certain connection in our music to goth but I've never had any inspiration to be like somebody else or to go in a certain style. I have my own ideas and if they ever too closely resemble something that I've heard before, I usually discard them."

In 2020, Sain remastered the album for re-release on Below Sea Level Recordings, including four additional tracks from the era--
Live versions of "A Moon Short Stay Cure", "You So You" from Zoë Wakefield's first live performance, "Clown Small & Even", and "Crystalize & Slant" which first appeared on a German compilation

Venomous Eve

Venomous Eve, which was already being recorded prior to the release of "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!", was released in late 1995. The album relied heavily on the Morpheus synthesizer manufactured by E-MU Systems, and credited its performance to Lucian S. Donato as a third member of the group.

Sain commented on the experience of gaining a third member in a 1995 interview. "I do work the shit out of my electronic equipment but there's got to be live instruments and a lot of depth as well.... It's been a long, evolutionary process, but I think it's safe to say that we are now a threesome. We've taken on a keyboardist named Lucian, who is really quite a bizarre character. He fits in as though he was always there, it's strange."

Venomous Eve was the best-received Trance to the Sun album to date. Dave Segal of Alternative Press wrote: "Trance cast off the crutches of conventional song structure and bask in a shimmering miasma of tweaked and freaked guitars, synths, violins and bass... These nine long songs move with knight-like stealth and elegance, wreathed in all manner of bizarre noises..."  Albany, NY's Music Advocate wrote that "Venomous Eve is fog-shadowed walks through perfumed night gardens, and languorous waltzes in cold-orb lit tower ballrooms set to brooding gothic-shrouded atmospheres." Venomous Eve took off on American college radio, achieving the rank of No. 1 most played album on San Francisco area radio station KFJC in March 1996.

On August 29, 1996, Wakefield left the band on the day before the band was to open for Love Spirals Downwards in San Francisco, California. Trance to the Sun had been opening for Cindytalk earlier in the year, and Sain asked Gordon Sharp (Cindytalk, This Mortal Coil), who was visiting Sain at the time, to sing in her place. Robert Alonzo, who had just joined the live line-up on drums for the first time in the band's history, played only one earlier show with the group prior to Wakefield's departure.

In 2021, Sain remastered the album with an expanded 16 page booklet featuring photos and history from Trance to the Sun's inception through the Venomous Eve era for re-release on Below Sea Level Recordings.

The Wagner Period (1997)

Delirious

Sain enlisted Dragonqueen vocalist Dawn Wagner, who had opened for Trance to the Sun during the Cindytalk tour, as a replacement for Wakefield in 1997. The two released the E.P. Delirious later that year, where Sain also performed some vocal duties. Gary Thrasher of Outburn Magazine wrote:

"Always at the forefront of experimental goth music, Trance to the Sun don't appear to have even slipped a notch after the departure of vocalist Zoe Wakefield.... With a voice that can swoop from the cloudy heights of Cocteau Twins' Liz Frasier down to the sexually charged growl of Switchblade Symphony's Tina Root, Dawn brings a whole new feel to the band. Ashkelon steps up to show he has an excellent voice as well on "Sympathy For Cruel Causes."

A U.S. tour in support of the release followed with bassist Israel Medina, from which Medina was eventually removed and replaced with Ashe Ruppe and Mark Blewett was brought in on drums. After the tour, Wagner left the group to focus on her new project Scarlet Slipping, for which Sain recorded and mixed two albums. An outtake from this period, "Winter Furnace Winds", appears on Spiders, Aether & Rain.

The Blue Period (1997 - 2002)

Azalean Sea 1998 1997 1996

Sain recruited Ingrid Luna (then Ingrid Blue), who had performed violin on some 1996 demos, as the third vocalist in 1997. In 1998 Trance to the Sun released Azalean Sea 1998 1997 1996. It is the only Trance to the Sun album to feature all three vocalists—the first released recordings with Blue, as well as unreleased tracks from the Wagner and Wakefield periods—and contains many of the band's most popular songs including "Execution of the Stars", "Slave", and "August Rain V.3". The album featured several guest musicians including Faith and Disease members Eric Cooley and Dara Rosenwasser, and also featured album artwork by Wakefield and Blue. Cover artwork and direction by Blue, an accomplished painter in her own right, would become commonplace beginning in 1999.

From a May 1999 review by Thomas Roche of the San Francisco-based Gothic.net: "Most striking upon listening to this album is the amount of energy that throbs through the music--the rhythm tracks are always active and the bright bass churns smoothly, keeping each song driving along with the intense sensation of movement no matter how moody and spooky the vocals and guitar can get. You're forced to throw away any preconceptions that Goth is 'low-energy' music."

The band toured the U.S to support the album with additional musician Joaquin Gray on bass guitar as joint headliners with Seattle's Faith and Disease, joining together for the end of the set.

Urchin Tear Soda/Florakleptonomy

Sain and Blue released the full-length album Urchin Tear Soda in 1999, and then toured the U.S to support it with additional musicians Dhanan Zakheim on bass guitar and guitarist James Webb (recruited from Santa Barbara thrash metal band Asinine, for whom Sain had produced a demo recording earlier that year). The album included a cover of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" by Pink Floyd. This marks the first time that Trance to the Sun included a cover song on one of their albums, though they have recorded several for various compilations over the years.

Urchin Tear Soda was more synthetic and refined than previous releases. Paul Angelosanto of Instant Magazine wrote, "The production and implementation are impeccable. Every tone and echo seem to be perfectly placed and designed. It all feels so well made that when listened to it gives you the feeling of sitting alone as space rushes through you."

A live recording of the 1999 Urchin Tear Soda tour from Santa Barbara, which features four songs from Urchin Tear Soda and the songs "Automatic Reversal" from Azalean Sea, "You Can Never Cut Your Hair" from the 4-CD Cleopatra Records compilation The Black Bible, and "Malla At Ease" from the Cleopatra Witchcraft Compilation, was released as the limited CD-R release Florakleptonomy (1999). This recording was remastered in 2011 and a digital booklet was added which contained footage from a stop in Seattle about a week later in the tour.

In 2000, Trance to the Sun undertook a second tour in support of Urchin Tear Soda with Joaquin Gray returning to bass duties. This tour included a second Convergence appearance at C6 in Seattle, Washington.

Atrocious Virgin

In 2001, Trance to the Sun released Atrocious Virgin. The cover art features several paintings and drawings by Blue. This album contains the track "Homewrecker", generally regarded as Trance to the Sun's most popular song.

Sain considered Atrocious Virgin to be among his best work, referring to it on the Trance to the Sun Bandcamp website as their "gothic-psychedelia magnum opus". In 2002, he commented on the experience: "In the studio, it would take me typically 3 weeks to finish a Trance To The Sun song; and in that 3 week period I would spend anywhere from 80 to 180 hours. I kind of logged my studio time. To do that kind of studio work by yourself, you have to take careful notes. And on the last Trance To The Sun album there's a song called "Map of the Lost" which set the all time record at 180 hours. "Map of The Lost" is one of the greatest pieces I've ever come up with. The reason it took so long is because it went through several mutilations before reaching a final stage."

The band toured the U.S. to support the album, with Joaquin Gray once again on bass guitar. A Trance to the Sun cover of the Cocteau Twins song "When Mama Was Moth" appeared on the 2002 Dewdrops Records compilation Half Gifts: A Tribute To The Cocteau Twins, and also appeared on Spiders, Aether & Rain.

Dissolution

In 2001, Sain and Blue decided to discontinue the group. Sain elaborated in a 2002 interview:

"It became time to do something else. We did 7 albums and 131 shows... almost 200 songs recorded in our studio, and life just really became to a natural, if not dramatic, conclusion for me in Santa Barbara, I had a pretty traumatic accident, where I was hospitalized; I was jilted romantically in a pretty bad way and I didn't react to that very well, and I kinda' went crazy for awhile. I went off my head, and I went to work at sea. I took a job on a ship for awhile....

"I need to be a part of a bigger organization of people. And maybe the impeding factor in being so largely responsible, is there is only so much one person can do. And wanting to be able to do more, wanting to accomplish more... ultimately it leads to frustration. Like, I don't ask for more in terms of what that music was. The music came out precisely as it should of, I spent ALL the time necessary that it did. The tours certainly suffered. We played under-promoted tours, and there were some nights when only 10 people showed up... and it does become hard to justify driving 1000 miles to play one show where 10 people have shown up. I mean, we played those shows, we played them masterfully, we put everything we had into them... but you can only do that for so long. You can only have that happen so many times..."

Sain spent the summer of 2001 recording and producing the album The Astonished Eyes Of Evening for the Los Angeles band Cinema Strange, which was released on German label Trisol. In fall 2001, he began a series of ambient recordings, self releasing them under the name Submarine Fleet.

Relocation

Sain relocated to Portland, Oregon in March 2002. Ashe Ruppe, who lived in Portland, helped facilitate the move.
In Portland, Sain continued doing both performance and production work. He briefly joined the local Cure tribute band theXplodingboys in 2003, which he would rejoin in 2009. Sain participated in the band Electromagnet, with Ashe Ruppe and also Marshal Serna of Sumerland, releasing one E.P.. Then Sain began a full band, also named Submarine Fleet, that included Mark Linder and Ashe Ruppe, as well as Dhanan Zakheim on bass guitar and Daniel Canty on drums. Submarine Fleet released two albums in 2005 and 2007.

Sain produced the Projekt Records releases Atlan (2009) and Eztica (2011) of the Portland-based Tuvan throat singer Soriah, for which Sain also performed, received co-billing, and toured. The 2011 and 2012 west coast Soriah tours were expanded to include a full band that included theXplodingboys drummer Daniel Henderson, who would join Trance to the Sun in 2013.

2007 Reunion/Spiders, Aether & Rain

In 2007, Trance to the Sun reunited for a single performance at C13 (Convergence) in Portland, Oregon with Ingrid Blue on lead vocals, Dhanan Zakheim on bass guitar, and several of Sain's Portland collaborators performing additional backing vocals, guitars, electronics, and hand percussion. A commemorative video of the performance was created by Sean Strauss, featuring Noah Mickens as master of ceremonies.
A best-of studio collection personally assembled by Sain, Spiders, Aether & Rain...The Finest Works Of Trance to the Sun, was concurrently released on Projekt Records in 2007. Along with songs from each full-length studio release to date, the collection also featured the unreleased outtake "Winter Furnace Winds" from the Dawn Wagner period, and the Cocteau Twins cover "When Mama Was Moth".

The Blue Obscurities/All the Covers

In 2011, Trance to the Sun released The Blue Obscurities, a collection of previous compilation tracks and unreleased material from the 1999-2001 Blue period, as well as two newer instrumental pieces, on Below Sea Level Recordings. The cover art once again consisted of artwork by Blue, and included photos from an unfinished video for the Atrocious Virgin track "Sleeping With the Natives".

Trance to the Sun also released a digital-only album All the Covers (1995 - 2001) through Projekt Records in 2011, which consisted of a collection of previously exclusive compilation tracks that the band had reacquired the rights to release. An extended version of "Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun" appears on this release.
The remastered version of Florakleptonomy was also released in digital-only format in 2011. The remastered version of the original 1993 cassette version of Ghost Forest was re-released on CD on Below Sea Level Recordings in 2012.

Ascension to the Sun

In 2012, as part of a Tess Records tribute at Portland's Brickbat Mansion, a live performance collective called Ascension to the Sun was formed. It consisted of Sain, Dru Allen and Cynthia Coulter of This Ascension, Jeremy George of Faith & the Muse, and Henderson. The line-up performed three shows consisting of Trance to the Sun and This Ascension material. Videos of "Rex" from "Bloom Flowers, Bloom!" and the This Ascension songs "Fearful Symmetry" and "Chameleon Room" were captured from the initial Portland performance.

Reformation

Via Subterranea

In 2013, Sain and Blue decided to reform once again as Trance to the Sun, this time to write a new album. The reformed line-up included Sain, Blue, and the addition of Daniel Henderson as drummer. Blue remained in Santa Barbara, making it a cross-state effort. A Kickstarter campaign for the album, tentatively called Aviatrix, commenced in September 2013, and the project met its goal in a few days.

In a September 29, 2013 Kickstarter Backer's Interview video, Sain and Blue cited many reasons for bringing back Trance to the Sun. Sain noted that "the whole culture of music has changed where it seems somehow right, now, to do a Trance to the Sun album where it might not have seemed right even five years ago.... [in the digital age] music is comprehensively changed in how people view it.... Now every genre co-exists. Trance to the Sun needs to make another album in that climate".

Aviatrix was the first Trance to the Sun studio album to contain acoustic drums. In November 2013 in Portland, Oregon, Sain and Henderson performed instrumental versions of four new songs as Trance to One Half of the Sun a few days prior to recording their guitar and drum parts. Reflecting what their rehearsals were like for the album recording, the show featured a backing track with bass and keyboards but no vocals, which "showcase[d] the way our new songs sound live in their present, half realized state." Island 13, a 5-song E.P. of re-recorded back catalog songs, was released on Bandcamp.com in December 2013 on Below Sea Level Recordings.

On January 11, 2014, Trance to the Sun performed as a full band for the first time since 2007, and for the first time in support of a (forth-coming) album in 13 years, at El Corazon in Seattle, Washington, followed by a Portland, Oregon performance the next evening. The live line-up featured Sain on electric guitars, Blue on vocals, Henderson on drums, and Blue's husband Terry Luna on bass guitar, along with a minimal backing track. Shortly afterward, the band released a live video of "Execution of the Stars" from Azalean Sea 1998 1997 1996 / Spiders, Aether and Rain. Additional California tour dates were announced in February 2014 and were performed in late April/early May.

On April 20, 2014, an early version of Railcar to Tasmania from the upcoming album appeared on the At Sea Compilations album "Twist The Past 1".

In an April 24, 2014 Kickstarter update, Trance to the Sun announced that, due to a conflict with another band "near to the scene" that had recently released an album with a similar name, the name of the upcoming album had been changed from Aviatrix to Via Subterranea. However, the band agreed that the new name fit the material better.

The album's release date was originally scheduled for Spring 2014, ahead of the California performance dates. But its release was delayed due to frustrations with the album's sound as of the original release deadline. In a July 30, 2014 Kickstarter update, Sain credited the unanticipated complications of mixing such a complex album for the delay, and renewed his intention to release the best possible version of the album. Sain stated that he was ending involvement in all other musical endeavors until the album was complete, save for an already agreed-upon engagement playing bass guitar for the late summer 2014 Spiritual Bat tour.

Trance to the Sun did schedule additional performances in 2015. Enrique Ugalde (Soriah) served as bass guitarist for two February Pacific Northwest shows. Additional California show dates were performed in late May/early June with Terry Luna resuming bass duties. A live video from the Portland performance of the Urchin Tear Soda song "Black Sea, Black Fish" featuring footage from both legs of the tour was released at the end of 2015.

On November 26, 2016, the Trance to the Sun Facebook page announced that the album Via Subterranea, having undergone extensive mixing to achieve the highest possible sonic quality, was virtually complete, and that pre-orders were available on the Trance to the Sun Bandcamp page with a release date of December 30, 2016.

On December 3, 2016 a free promotional single for Max Mystic was released on Bandcamp A video for Max Mystic was released a few days later on Youtube.

The album was released on Below Sea Level Recordings. opus.fm wrote: "On Via Subterranea, their first full-length since 2001’s Atrocious Virgin, Portland’s Trance to the Sun conjures up a heady blend of goth, shoegaze, and psychedelia that brings to mind even such a landmark album as The Cure’s Disintegration. Like Robert Smith’s magnum opus, there’s a commitment on the part of Trance to the Sun to go big or go home. Ingrid Luna Blue’s voice is coy, ethereal, and sultry, delivering abstract lyrics like “I could disrupt the orbit of your distant molten eye” and even garden gnome-inspired streams-of-consciousness. Meanwhile, Ashkelon Sain’s guitar evokes middle-eastern textures, tears through soaring solos, and delivers haunting ambience — sometimes all in the same song. (To continue with the Disintegration comparison, think “Prayers for Rain” or “Homesick” rather than, say, “Lovesong.”)"

A single and Youtube video for Railcar to Tasmania was released in February 2017.

Zaïre. Revue Congolaise—Congoleesch Tijdschrift (French and Dutch; in English: "Zaire. Congolese Review") was a Belgian academic journal devoted to African studies. In particular, it focused on the region of the Belgian colonial empire (modern-day D.R. Congo, Rwanda and Burundi).

The journal was published with both French and Dutch language articles. When it started in 1920, it was originally entitled Congo. Revue générale de la colonie Belge—Algemeen tijdschrift van de Belgische Kolonie  (Congo. General Revue of the Belgian Colony). Ceasing publication during the German occupation of Belgium, it was revived in 1947 and the title was changed. It ceased publication in 1960, shortly after the independence of the Belgian Congo.

History
The journal was originally published under the title Congo. Revue générale de la colonie Belge—Algemeen tijdschrift van de Belgische Kolonie (Congo. General Review of the Belgian Colony), first published in 1920. It was published privately in Brussels and was edited by Édouard De Jonghe. Articles were divided into six sections, including informative articles (often on ethnography), miscellaneous studies of broader phenomenon, studies on commerce and trade, and a detailed bibliography. It was issued jointly with the Bulletin de la Société Belge d'Études Coloniales (Bulletin of the Belgian Society of Colonial Studies). Congo ceased publication with the outbreak of World War II and the subsequent German occupation of Belgium. In 1947, it was replaced by Zaïre. Revue Congolaise-Congoleesch Tijdschrift. Zaïre was published in 14 volumes and last appeared in 1960.

title: Brass Sun

text:
Brass Sun is a work of steampunk science fantasy. It was created by writer Ian Edginton and artist I. N. J. Culbard and is published in the British comics anthology 2000 AD, where it first appeared in 2012.

Premise
The story takes place in a full-size orrery. Wren, the young protagonist, undertakes a quest to restart the dying brass sun at the centre of a gigantic mechanical solar system containing dozens of worlds and moons, all connected via colossal spars.

Creation
Edginton got the idea for the series while speculating about full-scale versions of orreries. The character of Wren was conceived as a capable female character that young girls can relate to.

The Diamond Age, Floating Worlds and Engine Summer likely reference classic science fiction novels of the same name, by Neal Stephenson, Cecelia Holland and John Crowley, respectively. Motor Head likely references the well-known British rock band Motörhead.

title: Lord of Tears

text:
Lord of Tears, also known as The Owlman, is a 2013 Scottish low-budget horror film directed by Lawrie Brewster and was his horror film directorial debut. The film first released on 25 October 2013 in Whitby at the Bram Stoker International Film Festival, where it won two awards. The film follows a Scottish schoolteacher that begins to see visions of the Owl Man, a strange figure that he was obsessed with as a child. The film was followed by The Unkindness of Ravens and The Black Gloves, both directed by Lawrie Brewster.

Plot
James Findlay (Euan Douglas) is an average school teacher that has been estranged from his mother for years and has only returned to her home to settle her estate after her death. This somewhat baffles his friend Allen Milton (Jamie Scott Gordon), as his own father is undergoing a serious illness and is unlikely to recover. James discovers via letters that he stands to inherit two houses from her: one small and average, the other a large mansion that he is urged to never again visit. Confused, James ignores her request and moves into the house in hopes of making sense of everything, as he cannot remember his early childhood but does vaguely remember living at the house during this time. Soon after he arrives he meets the beautiful American, Eve Turner (Lexy Hulme), who lives nearby in a set of renovated stables. He also finds evidence that he had a mental breakdown as a child, brought about by visions of a creature known as the "Owl Man" (David Schofield).

As James stays at the mansion he begins to fall in love with Eve while also discovering that the house sits atop a series of catacombs and that his parents dabbled in pagan magic in order to achieve fortune. He eventually begins to recall more from his past even as the Owl Man's presence begins to grow increasingly ominous, culminating in James discovering that his parents had been worshipping Moloch, who would grant wishes in exchange for a sacrifice. This causes James to regain his lost memories, discovering that Moloch had been manifesting himself as the Owl Man and that he was supposed to be the sacrifice that Moloch demanded. His parents were unwilling to offer James, so they took in an orphaned American girl as a nanny and murdered her in James's stead, claiming that as they had been her guardians, she was a reasonable substitute. James then realizes that this girl was Eve, which has the unfortunate effect of making Eve remember the events as well and turn into a menacing figure intent on driving James insane via a series of attacks. He tries to flee from the house but finds that Moloch will not allow him to leave.

Moloch claims to have no ill will against James; rather his anger is directed at his now deceased parents. He tells James that only finding Eve's bones and putting them to rest will end the haunting and free him. If he does not, Moloch will haunt him forever. James is able to find Eve's bones and puts them to rest in the front yard. Her soul free, Eve leaves the grounds, as a heartbroken James begs her not to go.

James visits his friend Allen and tells his story, horrified that his parents made such a monstrous choice, and states that he would not have done the same. Standing up, James feels woozy. He realizes that Allen has poisoned him and plans to kill him using the ritual sacrifice to appease Moloch. Clearly upset, Allen begs for James to forgive him even as he is killing him, explaining that Moloch came to him and offered to save his father (Neil Cooper) if he completed the sacrifice. The film then cuts to Allen driving his father home from the hospital, with a haunted look on his face. The film ends at back to the mansion, where a light suddenly turns on in the catacombs, and a new skull rests in a ceremonial fashion, hinting that James's ghost has taken the place of Eve's and will remain there until another sacrifice is performed.

Production

Brewster came up with the concept for Lord of Tears while researching Pagan folklore of the Scottish Highlands and discovering the Owlman. He also drew inspiration from Japanese horror films, as he saw that these films heavily utilized their native mythology, which prompted Brewster to want to create a film that did the same with Scottish mythology. Filming took place in Scotland in the Scottish Highlands, Dysart, and Kirkcaldy over a two-week period and completed production in fall of 2012. After filming was complete Brewster ran a successful Kickstarter campaign to gain funding to produce marketing materials, finish the movie's soundtrack, and to send the movie out to film festivals.

Release
Lord of Tears had its world premiere on 25 October 2013 in Whitby at the Bram Stoker International Film Festival. It went on to feature at several other film festivals including the Belfast Film Festival and the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival. The film received a limited DVD and Blu-ray collector's edition release in 2013 through Brewster's Hex Media and was packaged with the film's soundtrack, a printed booklet, and a downloadable electronic booklet. This release received special note for its shipping packaging, as purchasers received the DVD set wrapped in black tissue paper and topped by a single owl feather. The collector's version later sold out, prompting Hex Media to announce that they were going to release a new three disc special edition that would include new content and that the film would have a new edit, updated color treatment, and sound effects.

On 27 June 2014 Lord of Tears received a video on demand release through Vimeo. The film was retitled The Owlman for its UK DVD release through 88 Films in March 2016.

Reception

Critical reception for Lord of Tears has been mixed, with audience reviews being more negative than certain film critics. Bloody Disgusting praised the film's acting and later marked it as one of their best films for 2013. Starburst gave the film 8 out of 10 stars, commenting that the film's selling point might lead some into mistakenly believing that the film was a monster movie rather than the ghost story it is, but commented that "Brewster's confident direction allows the film to develop naturally." Ain't It Cool News cited the film's simplicity as a highlight as they felt that Brewster made effective use of the Scottish landscape. Fearnet's Scott Weinberg opined that while the movie did have a few "typical indie-style missteps", they were ultimately minor and that overall he enjoyed the film. HorrorNews.net gave the film a positive review, commending the film's soundtrack, and performances, writing, "Rather than just going the route of horror only, the film tackles things intelligently while also paying slight homage to its roots."

title: Marty Plissner

text:
Martin P. "Marty" Plissner (May 20, 1926 – February 6, 2014) was an American political commentator. He worked for CBS News from 1964 until his retirement in 1996.

He first began his job during the 1964 United States presidential election during Robert F. Kennedy's campaign. He was known for coining the phrase "too close to call".

Early life
Plissner was born in 1926 in Brooklyn, New York. He graduated from Yale University, taking time during his studies to serve in the United States Navy during World War II.

"Too close to call"
In the early 1960 elections, there were no exit polls to predict the outcomes.  A model was devised, based on certain reported-precinct results, which gave samples for mathematical formulae to be applied. In one unspecified situation, all the votes were reported but there was no clear winner, Plissner and his CBS newsteam called that election "too close to call".

Personal life
He was married to Susan Morrison until his death. They had two daughters. He had one son from a previous marriage to Doris Ruth Kaplan. Plissner lived in Washington, D.C.

Death
Plissner died on February 6, 2014, in Washington, D.C. from lung cancer, aged 87.

title: Perry Lakes Hawks

text:
Perry Lakes Hawks is an NBL1 West club based in Perth, Western Australia. The club fields a team in both the Men's and Women's NBL1 West. The club is a division of Perry Lakes Basketball Association (PLBA), the major administrative basketball organisation in Perth's western suburbs. The Hawks play their home games at Bendat Basketball Centre.

Club history

Background
Perry Lakes Basketball Association was established in 1973 as Scarborough City District Basketball Club. It was formed from the amalgamation of three 'Metropolitan' clubs from the Claremont district: City Beach, Claremont and Scarborough. Scarborough City played out of Perry Lakes Basketball Stadium and competed in the Western Australian Basketball Federation's (WABF) District Competition. The men's A Grade team reached the grand final in 1977, 1979 and 1981, finishing as runners-up in their first and third tries while claiming their first premiership in 1979.

SBL / NBL1 West
1989 saw the formation of the State Basketball League (SBL) with both a men's and women's competition. Perry Lakes, trading as the Hawks, entered a team into both the Men's SBL and Women's SBL. Both teams had strong inaugural seasons, with the men finishing in second place with a 19–3 record and the women earning the minor premiership with a first-place finish and a 15–6 record. The women went on to reach the inaugural WSBL Grand Final, where they lost 79–66 to the Perth Redbacks.

In 1994, both teams reached the grand final. The women were defeated by the Stirling Senators, while the men claimed their maiden MSBL championship with a 107–86 win over the Swan City Mustangs. The women claimed their first championship in 1998. Between 1998 and 2004, they played in every WSBL Grand Final, including winning three in a row between 2001 and 2003. In a similar dominant era for the men, the Hawks competed in five straight MSBL Grand Finals between 2001 and 2005, as they claimed a four-peat between 2001 and 2004 under coach and club legend John Gardiner. In 2007 and 2008, the women claimed back-to-back championships.

In 2009, the Hawks returned to the MSBL Grand Final but fell short of their sixth championship with an 85–77 loss to the Lakeside Lightning. Grand final appearances followed for the women in 2010 and the men again in 2011. In 2012, both teams missed the finals for the first time in two decades.

In 2017, the women returned to the WSBL Grand Final. They defeated the Mandurah Magic 59–48 to win their seventh championship. Toni Farnworth took out the Grand Final MVP award for her 26 points.

In 2018, the men returned to the MSBL Grand Final. They defeated the Joondalup Wolves 94–87 to win their sixth championship. Ben Purser was named Grand Final MVP for his 12 points, 10 rebounds and game-high eight assists.

In 2020, both teams reached the grand final in the women's West Coast Classic and men's West Coast Classic.

In 2021, the SBL was rebranded as NBL1 West. The Hawks men were crowned minor premiers in the inaugural NBL1 West season and reached their 10th SBL / NBL1 West grand final, where they defeated the Rockingham Flames 92–82 to win their seventh championship. Andrew Ferguson was named Grand Final MVP for his 18 points and 15 rebounds.
