In the all-around competition she scored 14.200 on the vault, 12.800 on the uneven bars, 12.200 on the balance beam and 13.900 on the floor which gave her a final total of 53.100, almost half a point lower than her English Championships score, for joint fourth place with Angel Romaeo. Simm qualified for two event finals, in the vault final she tied for second place with Ellie Downie with an averaged score of 14.175 and in the floor final she again tied for fourth place with Romaeo with a score of 13.550.

title: SS Albania (1920)

text:
SS Albania was a cargo liner laid down in 1914 by Scotts Shipbuilding and Engineering Company Ltd. Greenock, Scotland for the Cunard Line. Owing to the First World War, she wasn't completed until 1920. Designed to maximize cargo capacity, passenger accommodations were limited to the shelter and "tween" decks. Originally intended for the Liverpool New York run, she was transferred in April of 1922 to the Canadian route. Ultimately the vessel proved a disappointment for Cunard, being too small to operate effectively as a passenger liner and too big for a freighter, and was laid up in 1925 until purchased in 1930 by the Italian company Liberia Triestina who renamed her SS California. She was converted for use as a hospital ship in 1935.

Loss
On 11 August 1941, California was torpedoed and sunk off Syracuse by a Fairey Swordfish aircraft of 830 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm, operating out of Malta.

title: V3903 Sagittarii

text:
V3903 Sagittarii (also known as 11 Sagittarii, or its abbreviation 11 Sgr) is an eclipsing binary star system in the constellation Sagittiarus. It creates an H II region LBN 29 (Sh 2-29)  away from the Sun.

John Flamsteed designated this star the Flamsteed designation 11 Sagittarii, although the designation 11 Sgr is now more often used to refer to the star he designated 1 Sagittarii.

Properties
The system consists of two hot main-sequence stars. The spectral types have historically been accepted as O7V and O9V, but the more recent Galactic O-Star Spectroscopic Survey gives a spectral type of O7V(n)z + B0:V:. The system is one of the youngest-known eclipsing binaries, and one of the few containing such massive stars that have not yet filled their roche lobes. Their likely age is around 1.6 million years, and they have current masses of  and .

V3903 Sagittarii varies in brightness. The General Catalogue of Variable Stars lists it as a possible hot irregular Orion variable star, but it has been shown to be a detached eclipsing binary system. The two stars are detached, that is they do not fill their roche lobes, which makes it an Algol-type eclipsing variable. The period is one day, 18 hours, 52 minutes.

The distance derived from the annual parallax measured by the Hipparcos satellite is around , but the distance calculated from the physical properties of the two stars is 1,500 pc. Later measurements have resulted in refined distances estimates of 1,070 pc and 1,200 pc.

His younger sister Ranjitham was in college with Raja. The two were in love but separate due to misunderstandings caused by their older brothers' clashes. Raja arranges for Malathi and Pattalathan to marry and the two are very happy together. Ranjitham's other brother Arunachalam, who ran away as a child, returns to town just as Pattalathan is deployed again. Malathi knew Arunachalam before she came to town and that prior relationship causes problems for the family. Things are exacerbated when Malathi learns that she is pregnant. The family tensions reach a critical juncture when Pattalathan returns to town.

title: Sonia Taitz

text:
Sonia Taitz is an American author, essayist and playwright. She has written for The New York Times, as a columnist at the New York Observer, and served as contributing editor for Child, a New York Times publication.  Her books include Mothering Heights, the novels In The King's Arms and Down Under, and a literary memoir, The Watchmaker's Daughter.

Early life and education
Taitz was born in New York City to immigrant Holocaust survivors. She grew up in speaking Yiddish in the home. She was sent, at four, to an Orthodox Yeshiva where she learned Hebrew and Torah studies. She later transferred to The Ramaz School, graduating as its Hebrew co-valedictorian. She won the school’s French Award, presented at the Consulate in New York, and addressed Baron Philippe de Rothschild in Paris, in French.

Taitz attended Barnard College, Columbia University, graduating summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in English and psychology. She was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa in her junior year.  Taitz was admitted to Yale Law School; she took a leave to go to Oxford University, where she studied the Romantics of the 19th century. These poets, along with Dickens and Eliot, became the basis of her M.Phil. degree in English Literature. Returning to Yale, Taitz obtained her J.D. and passed the New York State Bar.

Career

Law
Taitz acted as a law guardian for foster children, working pro bono under the auspices of Lawyers for Children. She has also served as an advocate in the ER under the “DOVE” program at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital, supporting the legal rights of victims of rape and/or domestic violence.

Journalism
Taitz began her career in journalism as theatre critic for The New York Law Journal. She then wrote for 7 Days Magazine. These pieces led to her first book contract, for Mothering Heights, and to freelance work for The New York Times. There, she wrote extensively on the arts (particularly film and theatre), and contributed book reviews and personal essays. She was a contributing editor of Child Magazine, a New York Times publication, and The New York Observer assigned her a column on social/cultural issues. She currently writes for Psychology Today and The Huffington Post, as well as other publications.

Creative writing

Taitz began writing plays while at Oxford University. These were mounted on the stage at the Oxford Playhouse’s Burton-Taylor Rooms. During this time she was awarded the Sir Allan Bullock prize in a short fiction competition.

Other plays by Taitz have been staged in New York at Primary Stages, Women’s Interart Theatre, Circle Repertory,  at the Ensemble Studio Theatre where Sonia Taitz served as Artist-in-Residence, as well as at Washington D.C’s National Theatre. Taitz was a three-time finalist at the Humana Festival of New American Plays.

Taitz’s first book was Mothering Heights (1992), a personal and sociological exploration of modern parenthood. The book, which advocated that parents choose their own way to raise their children, was excerpted in the Post for a week, featured on The Today Show, CBS This Morning, NPR, NBC, and CNN. It earned praise from People Magazine, Redbook, and Publishers Weekly.

Taitz’s next book, a novel titled In The King's Arms, received positive reviews by The New York Times Book Review and ForeWord Reviews, and Tait was highly praised by critic Jesse Kornbluth.  The Jewish Book Council wrote positively about the novel in its quarterly journal, Jewish Book World and nominated it for the Sami Rohr Prize in Fiction. The Library of Congress funded an audiobook of In The King's Arms, to be taped at the Jewish Braille Institute in New York.

Taitz’s literary memoir, The Watchmaker's Daughter, was published in 2012. The book was listed in Vanity Fair’s “Fanfair/Hot Type” and was also listed as a Reader’s Digest “Must–Read”. It received positive reviews from People Magazine, Kirkus Reviews and was awarded a Book of the Year Medal from ForeWord Reviews. The Library of Congress funded the audio recording of The Watchmaker's Daughter, taped by the author at the Jewish Braille Institute, and completed in early 2014. The book was nominated for the American Library Association Sophie Brody Medal as a book that enhances the understanding of the Jewish-American experience. A radio play, "The Day Starts in the Night," based on an episode in the book, was commissioned and  broadcast on NPR.

In 2014 Taitz’s fourth book, Down Under, was published by McWitty.  It is a seriocomic novel about first love, forbidden liaisons and second chances.

Personal life
Sonia Taitz is married and has three children, Emma, Gabriel, and Phoebe.

title: Madison Station Historic District

text:
The Madison Station Historic District is a historic district in Madison, Alabama.  Madison was first settled around 1818 as a farming community, but significant growth began in 1858, when the first depot was built along the Memphis and Charleston Railroad line.  Madison Station became an important loading point for the shipment of cotton, supplanting the Tennessee River as the preferred means of shipment.  Merchants and other businesses soon followed, with many people moving from the river port of Triana.  After a lull during the Civil War, the town's growth continued; Madison was incorporated in 1869.  The town grew steadily until the 1950s, when industry spurred by the expansion of Redstone Arsenal replaced cotton as the primary economic force in Madison County.

The historic district contains the commercial strip along Main Street, running along the railroad tracks; cotton warehouses a few blocks from the depot; and numerous houses from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, mostly to the north of the tracks.  The commercial buildings are grouped in two blocks on the eastern end of main street.  Most date from after 1900, with the exception of the Robert P. Cain Mercantile store (built 1859) and the building that housed Madison's first drug store (built 1871).  The houses in the district represent popular styles of the late 1800s and early 1900s, including Queen Anne, Folk Victorian, Colonial Revival, Tudor Revival, and American Craftsman.  The oldest houses are on Front Street, paralleling the tracks on the north, most of which are in Queen Anne style.  The majority of houses are on Church Street, and show the full range of architectural styles.  Between Front Street and the railroad tracks is the Village Green, a public, open space that contains a gazebo and a replica of the Roundhouse, the first town hall.  The Madison Station depot was housed in four buildings during its existence: the first, built in 1858, was destroyed in a Civil War battle in 1864; the second served from 1866 until 1885; the third from 1885 until 1901; and the final, a combined passenger and freight depot, closed in 1961 and has since been demolished.

The district was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.

title: Lower Manair Dam

text:
Lower Manair Dam also known as LMD was constructed across the Manair River, at Alugunur village, Thimmapur mandal, Karimnagar District, in the Indian state of Telangana during 1974 to 1985. It provides irrigation to a gross command area of .

Location
The Lower Manair Dam is located on the Manair River at 18°24' N latitude and 79° 20' E longitude in Karimnagar District at Km.146 of Kakatiya Canal. The Manair River is a tributary of the Godavari River and the dam is built across the river at the confluence with Mohedamada River. The dam drains a catchment area of  which includes   of free catchment and the balance is intercepted catchment. Karimanagar town is  away from the dam.

In the vicinity of the LMD which is the only place of recreation for the people of Karimnagar, in the light of recent drowning incidents and the insecurity created by hooligans, security measures have been stepped up.

Features
Lower Manair Dam's construction was started in 1974 and commissioned in 1985. It is an Earth cum Masonry dam. The dam height above the deepest foundation is ; the maximum height of the earth dam is . The dam length is , top width is . It has a volume content of 5.41 million cum with a reservoir water spread area of  at FRL of . The gross storage capacity of the reservoir is 680 million cubic meters and the effective storage capacity is 621 million cubic meters (Mcm). The spillway is designed for discharge of capacity / second (and is controlled by 20 gates of  size, while the maximum observed flood discharge is reported to be /second.

The storage behind the dam serves as a balancing reservoir for the Kakatiya Canal and regulates flow for irrigation.  The command area for irrigation is .

The water quality status of the Lower Manair Reservoir was studied from September 2009 to August 2010 for the physico- chemical parameters such as water temperature, pH, turbidity, transparency, total dissolved solids, total hardness, chlorides, phosphate, nitrates, dissolved oxygen (DO) and biological oxygen demand (BOD). The results indicated that all parameters of water quality were within permissible limits and it was concluded that the water in the reservoir was fit for use for irrigation, drinking water supply and pisciculture.

Reservoir fisheries
Studies were conducted in the LMD reservoir from June, 2013 to May, 2014 to identify the larvivorous activity of fishes. On the basis of morphometric and meristematic characters, the 58 fish species are identified in the reservoir. Also reported were 53 ornamental fish species comprising eight orders; of these 23 species belong to cypriniformes order. Awaous grammepomus, also called Scribbled goby was also identified.

 58th Reserve division
 63rd Reserve division
 66th Reserve division
 8th Cavalry Division

A new attack was launched, Mulhouse was taken and the Germans were even pushed over the Rhine. French defeats in Lorraine and the Ardennes forced the  to withdraw from Mulhouse, to a more defensible line near Altkirch and to provide reinforcements for the French armies closer to Paris.

Disbandment
The army was disbanded on 28 August and many of its units distributed among the remaining French armies. The units that remained in Southern Alsace, came under the First Army and received the name of , which became the XXXIV Corps on 22 October 1914.

title: Pomara massacre

text:
Pomara massacre refers to the killings of 13 unarmed Bengali Hindus of Pomara Union in Chittagong District of East Pakistan on 14 September 1971. The Pakistan army buried alive 13 Bengali Hindus in the Pomra reserved forest.

Background
The Pomara Union falls under the Rangunia Upazila of Chittagong District. The mass killing site is about 50 metres from the Gochra Chaumohani railway station and 25 km from Chittagong. It is situated behind the Pomara High School just beside the Pomara reserved forest.

Killings
On 14 September a 50-60 strong contingent of the Pakistan army attacked Madhuram Talukdarpara, and launched a barbarous assault on the men, women, children and the elderly. Eighteen villagers were tied with ropes and then beaten and dragged to the army camp near the Pomra reserved forest. Hundreds of villagers accompanied them to the camp to secure their release from the army officers. The eldest five of the captives were released in half dead condition. The rest were made to dig a grave where they were buried alive.

Aftermath
A few days later some locals attempted to exhume the corpses, but gave up due to heavy stench. Soon the mass grave became covered with shrubs and the area became a grazing ground for the cattle. At present seasonal vegetables are cultivated at the mass killing site.

The 2014 Castle Point Borough Council election took place on 22 May 2014 to elect members of Castle Point Borough Council in Essex, England. One third of the council was up for election and the Conservative Party lost overall control of the council to no overall control.

After the election, the composition of the council was
Conservative 20
Canvey Island Independent Party 16
UK Independence Party 5

Background
At the last election in 2012 the Conservatives held control of the council with 25 councillors, compared to 15 for the Canvey Island Independent Party and 1 independent. However, since then the UK Independence Party had won 2 Castle Point seats at the 2013 Essex County Council election and planned to stand 8 candidates at the 2014 Borough Council election.

14 of the 41 seats on the council were contested at the 2014 election.

Election result
The Conservatives lost their majority on the council after the UK Independence Party gained 5 seats. The UK Independence Party gains came in Appleton, Cedar Hall, St George's, St Peter's and Victoria wards, with 87-year-old UK Independence Party candidate Ron Hurrell defeating the Conservative leader of the council, Pam Challis, in St Peter's ward. Meanwhile, in the European elections that were held at the same time the UK Independence Party won 48% of the vote in Castle Point, almost double that of the Conservatives.

On Canvey Island the Canvey Island Independent Party regained a seat in Canvey Island South, which they had lost to a defection. The results left the Conservatives as the largest party on the council with 20 seats, while the Canvey Island Independent Party had 16 seats and the UK Independence Party had 5 seats.

Following the election the Conservative group on the council chose Colin Riley as their new leader defeating the former deputy leader of the council Jeffrey Stanley by 2 votes, while Alan Bayley became the leader of the UK Independence Party group. Both the Canvey Island Independent Party and UK Independence Party initially proposed a coalition between all 3 parties to run the council, but following the Conservative leadership election decided against coalition and Colin Riley became the new leader of the council at the head of a Conservative minority administration.

Ward results

By-elections between 2014 and 2015
A by-election was held in Canvey Island East on 30 October 2014 after Canvey Island Independent Party councillor Gail Barton was removed from the council for not attending any council meetings for 8 months. The UK Independence Party did not put up a candidate for the by-election, instead supporting the Canvey Island Independent Party candidate, while the Canvey Island Independents agreed to support the UK Independence Party at the 2015 general election. However the seat was gained by independent candidate Colin Letchford with a majority of 66 votes over the Canvey Island Independent Party.

Meanwhile, following the by-election, councillor Stephen Cole defected from the Canvey Island Independent Party to the Conservatives, with the agreement between the Canvey Island Independent Party and the UK Independence Party being cited as a factor in his decision. This meant following the by-election and defection the Conservatives regained a one-seat majority on the council with 21 seats, compared to 14 for the Canvey Island Independent Party, 5 for the UK Independence Party and 1 independent.

title: Fred Orton

text:
Fred Lionel Orton (born 1945, Coventry, Warwickshire England) is an English art historian. His initial training was at Coventry College of Art in painting as a Dip.A,D student.  He extended his experience in the History and Development of Art initially at the Courtauld Institute in London and  then professionally as a scholar of art history and art theory at the University of Leeds.

Scholarship
Orton published an influential essay in 1991 in the Oxford Art Journal that argued that Harold Rosenberg, the critic who coined the term "Action painting", developed the concept as a result of his commitment to Marxism rather than to the photographs of Jackson Pollock in action. According to art critic Stephen Moonie, Orton's essay was one of the first attempts to define the term, offering a "political reading" which, "as Orton shows with great diligence", was a continued effort in Rosenberg's career. With Griselda Pollock he wrote Avant-Gardes and Partisans Reviewed and Vincent van Gogh: Artist of his Time. A social historian of art, he is influenced by Marxist theory. His 1994 book Figuring Jasper Johns investigated the relationship between Jasper Johns and Frank O'Hara.

Orton is also one of the editors of a collection on the Ruthwell and Bewcastle crosses, and with Catherine Karkov edited an important collection on Anglo-Saxon stone sculpture; he contributed one essay, and three other essays are responses to his.

title: Alsuma, Oklahoma

text:
Alsuma was a rural community between Tulsa and Broken Arrow in Tulsa County, Oklahoma, United States. Its post office opened in 1905, and was named Welcome, but was renamed Alsuma in 1906. Another version states that the town was named for John Alsuma, a local merchant. According to a long-time resident, the town was renamed for three women: Alice, Susan and Mabel. Legend has it that a squabble among the three town leaders about an appropriate name was settled in a face saving way. Their wives were named Alice, Susie and Mary. It was suggested that the first two letters of each woman's name be combined. The community covered as much as  and held a population of 75 families. The post office discontinued service in 1926. It is now considered a ghost town. The name is still used locally in referring to a specific area of southeast Tulsa.

The Missouri, Kansas and Texas Railroad (locally known as MKT or Katy) ran through Alsuma and built a station there in 1909. The railroad closed that station in 1940, but operated another station there from 1943 until it was closed in 1971. The railroad renamed the station either Trovillion or Troxillion in 1926, but the sign was repeatedly stolen until the company restored the Alsuma signage. Some early newspapers characterized Alsuma as one of Oklahoma's "black towns". However, former residents have said that some white families also lived there during the time of racial segregation. The railroad divided the community into separate white and black sections. Alsuma had its own school for black children, but the white children went to Union High School, a substantially superior facility. After segregation was outlawed, the black children all transferred to the Union School and the Alsuma school closed permanently.

The Alsuma area seemed to be an attractive locale for an airfield, in the early days of flying. After Duncan A. McIntyre closed his McIntyre Airport, his company merged with that of R. F. Garland, who owned Garland Airport at 51st and Sheridan Road in Tulsa County. The merger occurred in October 1931. The facility was later renamed Garland-Clevenger Airport, and by 1934 it was known as Tulsa Commercial Airport. The airport moved a short distance to the southwest, but still in the vicinity of Alsuma, by 1937. The new facility still was rudimentary by modern standards. Built on a  tract, it had a sod (unpaved)  runway and two hangars. Oilman Walter Brown bought the facility in 1951, renamed it Brown's Air Service and soon began to upgrade it. He added hangars, paved runways and a combination office/restaurant building. Brown Airport continued for more than a decade. By 1964, it was closed and the property turned into a housing development.
Tulsa annexed Alsuma in 1966. The city did not extend city services to that area for several years, and did not permit new construction in the area during that time. Residents were even forbidden to build new septic tanks. Tulsa proposed to redevelop the area as an industrial park in 1969, under the aegis of Urban Renewal, and rezoned the entire area for industrial use. It finally completed extending the sewer and water systems to Alsuma in 1971.

Few physical traces of Alsuma still exist inside the Tulsa city limits, on 51 Street between Mingo Road and the Mingo Valley Expressway. Alsuma had its own park, where both black and white children played during the era of segregation. This was prohibited by law in the segregated Tulsa city parks. The Tulsa Park and Recreation Department still lists Alsuma Park at 9801 E. 51st Street as a recreation area, but it is used primarily for storm water retention. There are soccer fields in the pond area, but all playground equipment has disappeared. There are still some residences remaining, but officially Alsuma is regarded as a ghost town.

title: Leech–Hauer House

text:
The Leech–Hauer House was a historic residence in Huntsville, Alabama.  It was built circa 1830 by professional carpenter William Leech.  It was built in a transitional style between Federal and Greek Revival.  The house was a two-story, L-shaped structure, with a front porch which was later enclosed.  John G. Hauer purchased the house in 1904, and it remained a family residence until it was sold to a flower shop in 1974.  It was purchased by physician (and later politician) Parker Griffith and his brother in 1977.  The house was listed on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage and National Register of Historic Places in 1978.  The house was subsequently demolished, and a modern medical office building was constructed on the site in 1988.

title: Knock Knock (2015 film)

text:
Knock Knock is a 2015 thriller film directed by Eli Roth, who also co-wrote the script with Guillermo Amoedo and Nicolás López. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Lorenza Izzo and Ana de Armas. The film was released on October 9, 2015, by Lionsgate Premiere. Knock Knock is a remake of Death Game (shot in 1974, not released until 1977), which was directed by Peter S. Traynor and starred Sondra Locke and Colleen Camp. All three individuals had a hand in the production of Knock Knock, while Camp also had a cameo in the newer film.

Plot
Architect and happily married man Evan Webber has the house to himself and his dog, Monkey, on Father's Day weekend due to work and a physical therapy appointment for a shoulder injury while his wife and children go out on a family-planned beach trip. His wife Karen, a successful artist, leaves their assistant Louis in charge of her sculpture that needs to be moved to an art gallery for her show.

Two women, Genesis and Bel knock on Evan's door during a rainstorm. Soaking wet, they tell him they are looking for the address of a party. As their phone is not working, Evan allows them in to dry off and use the Internet to get hold of the party's host. He gives them robes so they can dry their clothes in his dryer. The girls make themselves at home and flirt with Evan while he orders an Uber for them and plays a few of his old vinyl records from his days as a DJ. They then disappear to the bathroom when their driver arrives. Evan brings them their clothes and finds them nude. He tries to convince them to leave, but as they start forcing themselves upon him, he gives in and has a threesome with them.

The next morning, Evan finds out that his wife's sculpture has been vandalized by the girls. When Evan threatens to call the police, the girls claim they are underage. Vivian, a friend of Karen's, stops by to see if Evan needs help. Seeing Genesis, Vivian angrily leaves. When Evan threatens to report a break-in, they give in and agree to be taken home.

He then returns home, cleans the mess the girls have made, and tries to go back to his work. Just as he is getting closer to completing his project, he hears a shattering noise. When he stoops to pick up a broken picture frame of his family, Genesis knocks him out with one of his wife's sculptures. Bel climbs onto him in an attempt to arouse him while role-playing as a schoolgirl in his daughter's school uniform. Evan initially refuses, but the girls threaten to FaceTime his wife with him unless he agrees to do what they demand. He is tied to his bed, and Bel rapes him while Genesis records everything, calling him a pedophile. However, Evan breaks free and knocks Bel to the floor. He charges at Genesis, but she stabs him with a fork; she and Bel tie him to a chair with an electrical cord.

Louis arrives to collect the sculpture and finds Evan, but before he can help him he hears the girls smashing the vandalized sculpture. He runs to stop them, but then has an asthma attack and realizes they have taken his inhaler. As he tries to get it back, he slips on a piece of the sculpture, hits his head while falling, and dies. The giggling girls turn Louis' corpse into a red sculpture and dig a makeshift grave in the backyard for Evan. They also use both Evan's and Louis' phones to text and make it look like Evan discovered that Louis had an affair with Evan's wife and because of this, was murdered by Evan. The sadistic girls trash the house, torment and torture Evan, cut his hair, and force him to play hide and seek. When Genesis and Bel begin trying to find Evan, he escapes from the house, only to be stopped and held at gunpoint by Genesis. The girls tell him that they have killed other men and announce that he will die at dawn.

At dawn, they tie Evan up with a hose, bury him in the hole, leaving only his head above ground, and tell him they will crush his skull with a large stone. It misses his head by inches, and the girls, laughing hysterically, then reveal that the entire ordeal was merely a "game", as they never intended to kill Evan, nor are either of them underage, and that everything they did was part of a wicked hobby of seducing, victimizing, and ruining the homes of married men with children. Genesis shows Evan the video she recorded earlier with his phone of Bel raping him. As Evan watches on, she uploads it to his Facebook profile. They depart for another victim and take Monkey with them, leaving Evan to his fate. Karen and the kids arrive to find the house ruined; Evan's son, Jake, says, "Daddy had a party."

Dread Central awarded it a score of four out of five, saying "what we do have is a home invasion film for the social media generation (yes, it does feature social media in its plot) that should make you think twice before offering warmth and shelter to a stranger on a dark and stormy night."

Jeff Bond of Geek Monthly praised Reeves' performance, saying, "his [dramatic] turn in [the film]... helps make the movie easily Roth's best work."

Reception
Norman Fleischer gave a mixed review of the album, noting the Thirteen Sense's failure to live up to the initial success of The Invitation. Fleischer writes: "On the other side A Strange Encounter somehow also sees the band liberating itself from any expectations. But somehow it also feels a bit more like a tender final wave from a talented band like the desperately needed new start. This gives the new Thirteen Senses record a somehow bittersweet aftertaste. And ironically that's the most fitting environment for their music."
