title: Pallium India

text:
Pallium India is a national registered charitable trust formed in 2003 aimed at providing quality palliative care and effective pain relief for patients in India. Dr. M. R. Rajagopal is the founder and chairman of Pallium India. Pallium India works in collaboration with several national and international organisations to improve the accessibility and affordability of pain relief drugs (opioids) and other low-cost medicines, to ensure the availability of palliative care services in India and to improve the quality of palliative care services provided by the healthcare and allied health care professionals. In February 2016, Pallium India was accredited by Social Justice Department of Government of Kerala.

Activities

Pallium India's vision is an India in which palliative care is integrated in all health care so that every person has access to effective pain relief and quality palliative care along with disease–specific treatment and across the continuum of care. Pallium India's mission is to catalyze the development of effective pain relief and quality palliative care services and their integration in health care across India through delivery of services, education, building capacities, policy, research, advocacy and information.

The activities spearheaded by Pallium India concentrate mostly on areas inadequately addressed by existing organizations. Pallium India works with Central and State Governments of India for integrating palliative care into the healthcare system, facilitating palliative care education and improving access to essential and affordable medicines like morphine and other opioids.

In 2017, Pallium India opened a library dedicated to palliative care. Books were donated by Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Foundation and Dr Odette Spruyt of Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre.

Pallium India runs home visit programs in and around Trivandrum, as well as inpatient and outpatient clinics in collaboration with different hospitals in Trivandrum. Other services include bereavement support groups, Vocational Rehabilitation Program for patients and families and education of children whose parents are under treatment by Pallium India. Services to poor patients are provided free of cost. Expenses in this regard are met by donations.

Trivandrum Institute of Palliative Sciences (TIPS) is an organ of Pallium India, established in 2006. In 2012, TIPS was declared a World Health Organization Collaborating Centre (WHOCC) for Training and Policy on Access to Pain Relief. Education and research are major activities of TIPS. TIPS provides medical care (inpatient, out-patient and home care services), counselling care, rehabilitation and other supportive services.

Bruce Davis Training Centre (BDTC), the training division of Pallium India, runs a number of different awareness programs and trainings throughout the year with a focus on improving the general awareness among the public and improving the expertise and competency of healthcare and allied healthcare professionals. These include Certificate Course in Pain and Palliative Medicine (CCPPM) for doctors, in Palliative Nursing (CCPN) for nurses and in Palliative Care (CCPC) for allied healthcare professionals. There are also volunteer training programs conducted frequently.

Pallium India works with several hospitals and organizations to catalyse the development of palliative care centres across India and for introducing palliative care education to professionals.

Pallium India collaborates with the Department of Social Justice of Government of Kerala to improve the facilities for wheelchair-bound people in the state. This includes providing rehabilitation services and advocacy for their improved mobility, including creating pavements and buildings that are wheelchair-friendly. Pallium India regularly organizes awareness programs for the public, get-together for patients, art and craft exhibition, food festival and cultural events to spread the message of palliative care.

Pallium India works with Paediatric and Paediatric Neurology departments of S.A.T Hospital, Thiruvananthapuram to provide palliative care for children suffering from various illnesses. Pallium India works out of its office at Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, India.

Currently, Pallium India is advocating for a rational national legislation for end of life care, which allows natural death with dignity and in incurable diseases with access to palliative care, rather than intensive care.

Achievements

Pallium India played a major role in the steps leading to the declaration of a National Program on Palliative care by the Government of India in 2012 November and the Amendment of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances(NDPS) Act of India in 2014. In 2008, Pallium India initiated and followed up a proposal that resulted in the declaration of a "Palliative Care Policy" by the Government of Kerala, making it the first Government in a developing country to have such a policy.

In 2016, Pallium India was awarded the Cancer Aid Society Annual Award for Excellence and Leadership in Palliative Care for the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Countries. In November 2017, Pallium India was awarded Sat Paul Mittal Award of appreciation, in Ludhiana.

A group of palliative care experts under the leadership of Dr M R Rajagopal, collaborated to prepare the draft curriculum for M.D. Palliative Medicine, on behalf of Medical Council of India. A curriculum that introduces palliative care to undergraduate medical and nursing education has been submitted to the Medical Council of India.

Pallium India has catalyzed the development of training centres offering quality education in palliative care in Trivandrum (TIPS), Hyderabad (MNJIO RCC), Jaipur (Bhagwan Mahaveer Cancer Hospital and Research Centre) and Ahmedabad (GCRI).

With financial support from international agencies, ten palliative care service centres were established in different states of India - Jharkhand, Tripura, Uttar Pradesh, Manipur, Mizoram, Bihar, Orissa, Gujarat, Meghalaya, Tamil Nadu and Lakshadweep. In collaboration with Australasian Palliative Link International (APLI), Pallium India developed a mentoring program called Project Hamrahi for budding palliative care organizations in India

Working with national and international experts, Pallium India created the National Standards tool (Minimum Standards for Palliative Care Programs) to ensure quality palliative care.

An advocacy tool initiated by Pallium India with two international partners, called 'the Morphine Manifesto', caught the attention of the international palliative care community so much that 63 international organizations signed up to be launch partners.

title: Peter Lo Su Yin

text:
Tan Sri Datuk Peter Lo Su Yin (Chinese: 羅思仁; 19 May 1923 – 1 January 2020) was Chief Minister of Sabah from January 1965 to May 1967. He was a member of the Sabah Chinese Association (SCA).

Biography
Peter Lo Su Yin was born to ethnic Chinese settlers on 19 May 1923 in Sandakan, Sabah. He first attended St. Mary's School in Sandakan and after that St. Anthony's Boys School in Singapore. Having won a scholarship through the Colombo Plan in 1952 to study Law at the Victoria University of Wellington in Wellington, New Zealand, in 1955 he received his Bachelor of Law degree. In 1956 he was admitted to the Bar, thus becoming the first Sabahan to graduate in law and qualify as a lawyer.

On returning to Sabah (or Crown Colony of North Borneo as it was known then), he worked for the Singapore law firm Donaldson & Burkinshaw in Sandakan between 1957 and 1961. At the same time, in 1958, he took a position with the Sandakan Town Board and was soon promoted to the senior post of Deputy Chairman, which he held until 1961. He left Donaldson & Burkinshaw in 1961 to set up his own law practice; Peter Lo & Co, the first Sabah law firm to be opened by a local Sabahan and which to this day still exists as a practising law firm.

At the same time, in 1961-62, he was appointed as a deputy in the Legislative Assembly of North Borneo and as such, also a member of the Sabah Public Services Commission. It was around this time that the concept of a new nation comprising Malaya, Singapore and the Bornean states of Sabah and Sarawak was being put forward. Later during the negotiation stage Lo was appointed by the British government as a member of the Inter-Governmental Committee to sit in 2 sub-committees: the Constitutional sub-committee and the Judicial and Legal Sub-committee, whose remit was to define the terms and conditions by which Sabah would combine with the other nations to form the new nation of Malaysia, and to ensure its rights and interests in this new entity would be safeguarded and protected.

It was during these negotiations that the now famous and sometimes controversial document known as the "20-point agreement" was first drafted. Lo, representing Sabah's interests and with his background in law, was a key player in these talks and integral not just in coming up with the set of demands and conditions by which Sabah's rights would be protected following a merger with the other nations, but was responsible also for drafting this important piece of legislation. The new nation of Malaysia was formed on 16 September 1963.

At the same time, Lo was busy preparing for a political career in the post-independence era and so set about forming a political party with Khoo Siak Chiew called The United Party. This party later merged with the Democratic Party to become the Borneo Utara National Party (BUNAP) which subsequently changed its name to Sabah National Party (SANAP) when the Crown Colony of North Borneo was renamed Sabah in 1963. In 1965 SANAP merged with The Sabah Chinese Association (SCA) and the new party became the SCA. Lo was President of the SCA when he became Chief Minister.

Lo served as a Member of Parliament for the new Malaysia from 1963 to 1978. In 1964 he was appointed Minister without portfolio to serve in the Federal Cabinet under the then Prime Minister, Tunku Abdul Rahman, the first Sabahan to hold this privilege. Then in late 1964, following a collapse in the Sabah coalition government due to tension between the 2 leading parties UPKO (United Pasok Momogon Kadazan Organisation) and USNO (United Sabah National Organisation), Lo was appointed Chief Minister of Sabah when the incumbent Chief Minister, Donald Stephens resigned.

Lo took up this position on 1 January 1965, becoming the first Chinese Chief Minister of Sabah and to hold this post. He was in charge during arguably one of the most difficult and turbulent times in Malaysia's history, having to ensure harmony in a new multi-racial nation, whilst also juggling often conflicting demands between the Federal, British and Sabah governments. It was also during Lo's tenure, only months into his position as Chief Minister, that saw the withdrawal of Singapore from Malaysia to become an independent nation in 1965, a landmark event in both Malaysia and Singapore’s history. Lo lost his seat in the State elections in 1967 and was replaced as Chief Minister by Mustapha Harun. He continued to serve as a Member of Parliament until 1978 after which he returned to focus on his legal career.

Lo died on 1 January 2020 in KPJ Sabah Specialist Hospital, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah, Malaysia at the age of 96. He was married to Rosie Dorothy Funk (deceased 2002) and left behind 4 children- Jenny, Cynthia, Bonaventure, Jacqueline - and son-in-law, Michael. His eldest daughter became BBC editor cum producer in London, the second daughter became a senior officer with a bank in Sabah, the youngest daughter became a chartered accountant in London while his son became a lawyer in Singapore.

Awards and honours
Lo was awarded the Panglima Setia Mahkota (PSM) which carries the title 'Tan Sri' by the King in 1996. Before that, in 1972 he was awarded the Panglima Gemilang Darjah Kinabalu (PGDK), a state honour carrying the title 'Datuk'. On 12 May 2007, Lo was awarded the Unity Award from the Yang di-Pertuan Agong.

title: Thug Notes

text:
Thug Notes is an American educational web series that summarizes and analyzes various literary works in a comedic manner. Thug Notes first aired on June 3, 2013, on YouTube, with the pilot episode centered on Crime and Punishment. The host of the series is Sparky Sweets, Ph.D., portrayed by actor and comedian Greg Edwards. In 2015, a book of essays based on episodes from the series entitled Thug Notes: A Street-Smart Guide to Classic Literature was published by Vintage Books.

Style
The series is presented by Sparky Sweets, Ph.D., in the character's "original gangster" style.

The following is an example of Sweets' style from his analysis of To Kill a Mockingbird, one of his most popular: "Only a jive-ass fool would bother capping a mockingbird, cause all them bitches do is just drop next-level beats for your enjoyment. So what my girl Harper trying to say is ratting on Boo Radley wouldn't do no good. It would only rid the hood of one more true-blue player."

Explaining the usage of African-American Vernacular English within the series, Edwards stated, "but the truth is, the gift of literature is universal in meaning and should be made accessible to everyone on every plane. So, Thug Notes is my way of trivializing academia's attempt at making literature exclusionary by showing that even high-brow academic concepts can be communicated in a clear and open fashion." The style used by Edwards' character was a result of "frustration with the world of academia".

Episodes

Reception
Thug Notes has been met with a cumulative view total of over 160 million (as of June 2017) and critical acclaim. Thug Notes'''s virality has been documented by mainstream news publications such as The New York Times and HuffPost. The Tampa Bay Times has noted that the series can be used as an educational tool. However, The New York Times somewhat criticized the increase in the frequency of style of the series, stating "We have to put a stop to inappropriate hip-hop appropriation before we get the Fox News 'Rap the Headlines Hour' or 'Gangsta 60 Minutes'."

In 2014, Wisecrack/Thug Notes was listed on NewMediaRockstars'' Top 100 Channels, ranked at #94.

title: The Heap (Fargo)

text:
"The Heap" is the eighth episode of the first season of the FX anthology series Fargo. The episode aired on June 3, 2014 in the United States on FX. It was written by series creator and showrunner Noah Hawley and directed by Scott Winant. The title refers to the paradox in logic known as the paradox of the heap.

In the episode, Lester Nygaard (Martin Freeman), having successfully framed his brother Chazz for the murders, finds newborn strength and decides to start his life anew. It also features a one-year ellipsis, during which the lives of all main characters have radically changed.

The episode was acclaimed by critics, and was seen by 1.86 million viewers.

Plot
Following his brother Chazz Nygaard's arrest, Lester Nygaard consoles his sister-in-law, Kitty, who believes her husband is guilty. Shortly afterward, Lester tosses out Pearl's belongings, beginning a new life. Later, Gina Hess angrily storms into Lester's office, demanding payment from Sam's insurance policy and accusing Lester of having duped her and taken advantage of her sexually. Lester initially pretends he will make some calls on her behalf, but when her sons try to bully Lester, he hits them with a stapler, which in turn intimidates all three of the surviving Hess family members, and they back off. Additionally, Lester tells Mrs. Hess that Sam's having stopped paying the premium on the policy indicates she won't get paid. Lester's dominant performance impresses his coworker Linda.

Meanwhile, Molly Solverson returns to work and unsuccessfully attempts to reopen the Lester Nygaard investigation. At the Duluth hospital, Lorne Malvo kills a police guard and gives Mr. Wrench the handcuff key to escape, telling him that he and Mr. Numbers came closer than anyone else ever had to besting Malvo. Malvo confesses that he killed Mr. Numbers and tells Wrench to come find him if he still wants revenge. In Fargo, FBI Agents Pepper and Budge, having been assigned to surveillance during Malvo's 22-homicide gun rampage and missed his having walked right by their car en route to entering the building, are demoted to file clerks.

A year passes, and Gus Grimly, now a mailman, is happily married to Molly as they eagerly await their first child's birth. In Las Vegas, Lester, who has married Linda, receives an award for Insurance Salesman of the Year. While at the hotel bar, Lester spots Malvo, who now sports grey hair and a goatee rather than brown hair and a full beard. While conversing with his companions, Malvo calls himself "Dr. Michaelson".

Reception

Ratings
The episode was first aired in the US on FX on June 3, 2014 and obtained 1.86 million viewers. The show was aired in the UK on Channel 4 on June 8, 2014 and was seen by 1.2 million viewers.

Critical reception
The episode was acclaimed by critics. It currently holds a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The A.V. Club writers Zack Handlen and Emily Todd VanDerWerff gave the episode an A- rating.

Another positive review came from IGN writer Roth Cornet, who gave the episode a 9.1/10 "amazing" rating.

Analysis
The episode title refers to the paradox in logic known as the paradox of the heap.  Agent Budge references the paradox within the episode when, deeply bored after a year of file room duty, he wonders aloud to Pepper at what point taking files out of the room would make it no longer the file room.

The New York Times reviewer, Kate Phillips, also notes the similarities between "an obscure comic book icon who, in one version, morphs from dirt and swampish things into a monster, much as Lester Nygaard survived by adopting the chameleonesque traits more familiar to Lorne Malvo, the dark lord and monster of this entire montage".

While in bed, Molly is watching the comedy mystery detective film Detective Kitty O'Day (1944).

title: Leadfinger

text:
Leadfinger (pron: Led-finger) are an Australian guitar rock band formed in the city of Wollongong, New South Wales, in 2006 by Glasgow-born singer/guitarist Stewart 'Leadfinger' Cunningham. The band has released 6 albums to date, with the most recent coming out in February 2022 through Golden Robot Records.

Background

Leadfinger founder Stewart Cunningham has been a fixture in the Australian underground music scene for over 20 years. He first plied his trade as guitarist with pre-grunge Wollongong band The Proton Energy Pills. In the late 1980s, he then headed to Sydney where he spent the 1990s playing in seminal underground guitar bands – Asteroid B-612, Brother Brick and Challenger-7. He also had a stint in Melbourne with The Yes-Men, a band formed by Sean Greenway (ex-God and The Freeloaders). All of these bands released critically appreciated albums in Australia, the United States, Japan and Europe.

Upon returning to live near hometown Wollongong in 2005, Cunningham began performing live as 'Leadfinger', relying on open tuning and slide guitar driven songs. The first three Leadfinger albums were released through Bang! Records, a Spanish Basque independent label that specialises in underground Australian rock like The Beasts of Bourbon, The Scientists and The Drones. The band's most recent album No Room at the Inn, came out through iconic Australian Label Citadel Records whose legacy stretches back 30 years and roster includes many of Leadfinger's own musical influences including Deniz Tek, Died Pretty and the Lime Spiders.

The name 'leadfinger' was originally a pen name for Stewart Cunningham and originates from when his brother shot him with an air rifle at age 14. The lead pellet from the air rifle became embedded in his left index finger and required surgery to remove. Future bandmates would take to calling Cunningham 'leadfinger' in jest that the bizarre air rifle injury had somehow come to influence his guitar style.  Cunningham himself states that the name Leadfinger was also chosen for his new project as an homage to delta blues legend Lead Belly, his original intention being to perform solo under the name. Cunningham continues a great tradition of Scottish Australian rock musicians and songwriters in Australia following in the steps of the Young family (members of AC/DC, The Easybeats), Jimmy Barnes, Bon Scott, Colin Hay, Karl Broadie, James McCann and others.

Music

Leadfinger dabble in a wide variety of styles but are mostly known for a combination of guitar driven high energy rock, power pop and 70s punk rock, similar to The Replacements, Radio Birdman and The Saints. Leadfinger mine the deep seam of underground guitar music back through the 70s rock and punk era's to the classic Stones and Dylan records of the late 60s and beyond. Their tools are as broad as their musical palette; electric guitars, 12 and 6 string acoustic guitars, alternate tunings and slide, dynamic bass and drums and harmony vocals. Their music embodies a soulful and classic kind of rock and roll and is based around the songwriting of singer/guitarist Stewart Cunningham and the use of vintage gear and amplification.

History

2005–2008 (The Floating Life)

After a 4-year hiatus from playing and writing music following the death of his Yes-Men bandmate, Sean Greenway in 2001 and the abrupt end of that band, Cunningham began writing again in 2005 and a new batch of songs was recorded primarily as demos in his home studio. These songs would eventually be compiled for release as the first Leadfinger album, 'the floating life' which came out in mid 2007 through Spanish based record label Bang! Records. The connection with Bang! Records came through that label's prior release of recordings by Cunningham's earlier bands Brother Brick, The Yes-Men and Asteroid B-612. The first ever Leadfinger gig took place at Wollongong's long standing underground venue The Oxford Tavern in February 2006 and featured in Cunningham's own words "...a musician used to playing with a band fumbling through a set of songs in a shocked and disjointed manner". By mid 2006 Cunningham was joined at a number of gigs by drummer Stephen O'Brien (ex- The Unheard). Finally at the Oxford Tavern on NYE 2006 the first full line-up of Leadfinger was completed with the addition of Wayne Stokes (ex-Thumlock) on electric bass guitar. This initial 3 piece line-up of Leadfinger would only play live sporadically in its time together, including the official launch gig for 'the floating life' album at the Hopetoun Hotel in Sydney on 29 July 2007. They managed to record a batch of new songs in two inspired sessions at an old farmhouse in the Tongarra dairy country below Macquarie Pass south of Wollongong. These recordings can be heard on the Through the Cracks CD EP (2008 – Musicfarmers Records) and the Rich Kids album (2009 –  Bang! Records). Both these releases were produced and mixed by Cunningham at his home studio, dubbed 'Leadfinger's Rendezvous Studio'. This first line up played its last gig at The Tote Hotel in Melbourne as part of the two night Bang! Records Festival on 15 August 2008.

2008 – 2009 (Rich Kids)

The current and most well known Leadfinger line up came together in late 2008 with the addition of second guitarist Michael Boyle (ex-Mudlungs) and a new rhythm section of Adam 'Reggie' Screen on electric bass guitar and Dillon Hicks (ex-Zambian Goat Herders). on Drums. Although they played their first official gig at The Annandale Hotel in Sydney in January 2009, Hicks had previously filled in on Drums for some Leadfinger gigs in Melbourne in 2008 whilst Boyle had been playing with Cunningham in a duet format at smaller intimate gigs in the previous two years. With the culmination of this line up the band became a genuine going concern. A newfound camaraderie and commitment that was missing from the previous line up enabled the band to play live more regularly and pursue a more definite musical direction.

2009 finally saw a belated release of the Tongarra farmhouse recordings by the first Leadfinger line up. The album titled Rich Kids (after the album track Rich Kids Can't Play Rock'n’roll) was released on vinyl and cd again through Bang! Records. Critical reviews of the album were very positive. Of the album's title track Patrick Emery wrote via Australian Mess+Noise music website "...Rich Kids Can't Play Rock'n’Roll but Leadfinger can!" Rich Kids has a raw, distinctly Australian sound a la The Saints and Radio Birdman and contained two standout tracks that would become mainstays of the live set for years to come, namely Fade Your Brilliance and Rich Kids Can't Play Rock'n’Roll. Both formats of the album also include a cover of Bad Penny, a song written originally performed and written by Rory Gallagher whilst a version of I Think of Demons (originally by Roky Erickson) appears on the vinyl format. A version of The Saints song Ghost Ships appears on the CD release.

2010 – 2011 (We Make the Music)

Over winter 2010 Leadfinger recorded album number 3 at Sydney's Big Jesus Burger Studio in Surry Hills, Sydney. With the help of JP Fung and Brent Williams (The New Christs) the band found themselves in a professional recording studio for the first time and made the most of it. We Make the Music was recorded using vintage analogue technology and 2" tape and then mixed on a vintage Neve desk. As a result, the sound of this album has great warmth and depth that harks back to great seventies era albums that are a strong influence on the band like Exile on Main Street by the Rolling Stones and Big Star's first two albums. We Make the Music was released in March 2011. The CD and digital version were released through Wollongong based record label Impedance Records whilst the vinyl version came out through Bang! Records. The album title and title track was inspired by a particular scene from the film Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (starring Gene Wilder) and is a statement on the originality and the value of artistic inspiration over corporate and media manipulation. "We are the music makers and we are the dreamers of the dreams" was originally from an 1873 poem, Ode by Arthur O'Shaughnessy.

There was enough material recorded at the BJB sessions to make a double album and this was Cunningham's original intention but lack of enthusiasm for this idea from both labels meant that We Make the Music was the standard 12 tracks although the track list for each format is markedly different. The album Launch was at the Annandale Hotel on 19 May 2011 and it received many good reviews with Australian webzine the i-94 Bar declaring "This is a bona-fide Australian Classic".

The Remaining tracks from the sessions were released on a limited edition CD EP called I Belong to the Band in November 2011. Leadfinger also made two video clips for songs from the We Make the Music album, for the title track "We Make the Music" and the song "Fourteen" from the CD version of the album. Both clips were produced by Rob Stephenson.

2012 – 2015 (No Room at the Inn)

In late 2011 Leadfinger began arranging and rehearsing a new batch of songs that would become album number 4. The songs were mostly pre-written by Cunningham with many being inspired by an Epiphone acoustic 12 string guitar that had he had acquired in early 2011. Songs like The Wandering Man, Gimme the Future, Pretty Thing and The Other Ones that became the backbone of the album were all based on simple 3 chord progressions that were given a distinct tone and twist by the involvement of the 12 string sound. Having a very small budget the band had no option but to record something quick and inexpensively so the bed tracks were done at Sydney's Defwolf studio in late April 2012 whilst the overdubs, vocals and mixing were completed by Cunningham himself at his home studio, Leadfinger's Rendezvous Studio over the next few months. The resulting album No Room at the Inn was recorded and mastered for under $5,000. It is a true independent recording paid for and made by the band. The album was fortuitously picked up by iconic Australian record label Citadel Records and it received worthy critical acclaim upon release in February 2013.

Most great rock 'n’ roll is made out on the fringes but this latest album from Australian veteran Stewart 'Leadfinger' Cunningham packs such a punch that it deserves to come out from the underground. Fans of bands from The Masters' Apprentices to HITS will love its greasy swagger, sure-footed songwriting and a sound that's both rich and raw. This is a deep seam, back to the classic Stones records of the late '60s on songs like You're So Strange, with its gospel-charged backing vocal from Chloe West. Gimme The Future sports searing guitar work that threatens to shred speakers, and Cruel City pumps with the kind of intensity once found on Radio Birdman records. But there is also room for banjo on the dusty roads of the title tune, and the intense The Lonely Road is dedicated to Rory Gallagher. Anyone who ever heard the sparks flying on a record by the late Irish bluesman will recognise a soul brother in Leadfinger and his passionate tunes." (4 Stars) Noel Mengel, The Courier Mail, 20 April 2013To promote the album Leadfinger embarked on an Australian tour in March and April 2013 supporting fellow Citadel label mate and legendary Detroit-born musician Deniz Tek (ex- Radio Birdman/New Race).

 2016 – 2019 (Friday Night Heroes)

The band released their 5th album Friday Night Heroes on 14 July 2016. Recorded in mid-2015 in the now defunct Linear Recording Studio (Leichardt, NSW) with Wade Keighran of Wolf & Cub mixing and co-producing. The album was released through the Brisbane-based Conquest of Noise label on vinyl and CD. The band embarked on a ten date, 4 state Australian tour in July and August to promote the album.

In October 2017 Leadfinger played its first ever overseas gigs when the band played a 14 date European tour that included gigs in France, Switzerland and Spain.

In early 2018 guitarist & main songwriter, Stewart Cunningham became ill and was diagnosed with stage 3 lung cancer. He underwent extensive medical treatment and an eventual Pneumonectomy later that year. After complications from the surgery and further treatment, the future of the band was precarious and put on hold completely but eventually Cunningham had recovered enough for the band to begin rehearsing again in late 2019.

In November 2019 Leadfinger self released the La Banda En Espana CD/Digital EP. A compilation of recordings made in Denia, Spain during their 2017 European tour. The highlight of this release being an electric 12 string guitar version of live favourite, You Wear it Well, a song by Rod Stewart from his 1972 Never A Dull Moment album.

 2020 – present (Silver & Black)

In early 2020 Leadfinger signed an exclusive licensing deal with Australian record label Golden Robot Records to distribute all of their music worldwide via all streaming and downloading platforms.

After a long hiatus from playing live Leadfinger played its first gig in over three years at Marrickville Bowling Club in June 2021.

The band released their sixth album Silver & Black on 25th February 2022. Silver & Black was recorded in late 2020 at Garth Porter owned Rancom Street Studio (Botany, NSW) with Brent Clark producing. Silver & Black was released through the Sydney-based Golden Robot Records label on double 12" Vinyl, Digital and CD. The new album as received positive critical reviews, being hailed as the a 'Magnum Opus' by Col Gray writing for the  i-94 Bar underground music site...Top to bottom – every song on “Silver & Black” is a winner, each rich with colour and diversity. If you thought “Friday Night Heroes” was good, “Silver & Black” goes one step further, and stands as Leadfinger's magnum opus – and it should rightfully open new doors for the band. After more than four years – Leadfinger are back – rejuvenated, reinvigorated, and armed with a stunning collection of new rock ‘n’ roll songs. Special when lit and then some. Get on board." (5 Stars) Col Gray, 7 March 2022

The band played various dates in NSW, ACT and Victoria in 2022 to promote the release of the album.

In February 2023 the band replaced drummer Dillon Hicks with Stuart Wilson. Wilson has previously played in notable Sydney rock bands like The New Christs, Lime Spiders, and Loose Pills. He played his first show with Leadfinger on 11th March when Leadfinger supported Nick Barker and the Reptiles at The Bridge Hotel in Rozelle, Sydney.

title: Samuel Beck House

text:
The Samuel Beck House is a historic house at 407 The Hill in Portsmouth, New Hampshire.  Built about 1761, it is a well-preserved example of late colonial architecture with an early Federal period door surround.  The building was moved to its present location as part of a project to widen nearby Deer Street.  The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

Description and history
The Samuel Beck House stands near the southwestern corner of The Hill, a cluster of historic houses southwest of the junction of Deer and High Streets.  These houses were relocated to this area as part of a road widening project.  The Beck House is  stories in height, with a side gable roof and clapboarded exterior.  It is five bays wide and two deep, with a large central chimney, and an early Federal-period front door surround with an arched fanlight.  The interior retains original 18th-century features, including paneled fireplace surrounds, and a three-run winding staircase in the front entry vestibule.

The land where this house originally stood on Deer Street was platted in 1710 and subdivided in 1756.  It was purchased by Samuel Beck in 1761.  The neighborhood, populated in the early 20th century by Italian immigrants, was subjected to urban renewal activities in the 1960s and 1970s.  This house was one of a number that was relocated to form The Hill, while others were razed or moved elsewhere.

title: Aline Küppenheim

text:
Aline Adriana Küppenheim Gualtieri (born 10 August 1969) is a Chilean film and television actress.

Early life and career
Born to a French father and a Chilean mother, Küppenheim spent her early years traveling around different parts of Europe due to her parents' trade, both of whom were artisans. During this time, her interest in drawing also developed, as she used to draw with chalk on the streets of Paris while her parents worked.

In the early 1980s, Küppenheim returned to Chile and studied at La Girouette School in Las Condes. Later, she studied theater at Fernando González's academy-club.

Küppenheim made her telenovela debut in 1991 with the successful TV series Ellas por ellas on Canal 13, playing the role of Victoria "Vicky". She later moved to TVN and appeared in the teleseries Trampas y caretas and Jaquemate, where she landed her first significant role as one of the young protagonists of the story alongside Felipe Camiroaga.

Afterwards, Küppenheim returned to Channel 13 and appeared in several teleseries such as Champaña, El amor está de moda (where she made her debut as a singer interpreting the central theme of the show), Marron Glacé, el regreso, Eclipse de luna and Amándote. She then switched back to TVN, where she landed her first antagonistic role in the telenovela La Fiera, starring Claudia Di Girolamo. After the series ended, she decided to accompany her husband at the time, actor Bastián Bodenhöfer, to France, where he was appointed cultural attaché.

title: Anisancylus obliquus

text:
Anisancylus obliquus is a species of small, freshwater, air-breathing limpet, an aquatic pulmonate gastropod mollusc in the family Planorbidae, the ram's horn snails and their allies.

Distribution
A. obliquus is native to Brazil, where it occurs in the southern part of the country, Chile, Uruguay and Argentina.  Its occurrence in Peru, in the city of Callao, needs to be confirmed.

Description
A. obliquus has a high shell, reaching  in length. The apex is prominent but not sharp, dorsally flattened, curved to the back and slightly to the right, with the tip usually facing down.
The protoconch shows a deep apical depression, from which clear radial lines depart, and rounded, irregularly arranged punctuations. The teleoconch shows prominent radial lines, more salient in the anterior-medial region of the shell.

The mantle is strongly pigmented and can be totally black; pigmentation is also present in the areas of muscle insertion (foot and tentacles). The anterior right muscle impression is elongated, extending to the middle region of the body. The left impression is elliptical and transversely arranged while the posterior impression is rounded.

The rachidian tooth has two long main cusps and might have a denticle between them, with one to two cusps to the side of the left main cusp and one to the side of the right one. The lateral teeth are tricuspid, with the mesocone largest and two to five minor cusps to the side of the endocone and the ectocone. The marginal teeth have up to ten cusps.

The ovotestis has 30 follicles on average. The prostate has 3 to 5 follicles.

title: North Carolina Highway 123

text:
North Carolina Highway 123 (NC 123) is a primary state highway in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It serves as the main road through Hookerton and an alternate bypass of Snow Hill, entirely in Greene County.

Route description
NC 123 is a two-lane rural highway that begins at NC 58 in Glenfield Crossroads, and ends at US 13 and US 258 in Lizzie.  from NC 58, it enters the town of Hookerton where it goes north along William Hooker Drive then east on Main Street. Crossing the Contentnea Creek, it continues north to Maury, where it connects with NC 903. After  through mostly farmland country, it reaches Lizzie where it ends.

The routing makes it an optional bypass of Snow Hill, for those traveling between Kinston and Farmville; however, speed limit drops to  in both Hookerton and Maury, so any time save is minimal.

History
NC 123 was established in 1932 as a new primary spur from US 258/NC 12 in Glenfield Crossroads, to the town of Hookerton. In 1938, it was extended north to NC 102 in Maury. In 1951, it extended northwest to its current northern terminus at US 258 in Lizzie.

title: Seven Eyes

text:
Seven Eyes (also known as the Myddleton Arms) is a Grade II* listed building in the community of Ruthin, Denbighshire, Wales, which dates back to the 16th century. It was listed by Cadw (Reference Number 918). The property was acquired in 1595 by Sir Hugh Myddleton who provided London with its first fresh water supply and remodelled in the mid 17th century by Sir Richard Clough, in a similar fashion to his Bachegraig hall.

The multi-dormered tiled roof building, also known as "The Eyes of Ruthin" due to the seven dormer windows, originally framed with timber but replaced with brick in the late 18th century. The Dutch design, long, steeped roof is attributed to Sir Richard Clough, an Elizabethan merchant. It has four tiers of dormer windows, each at a different elevation, known locally as the seven eyes of Ruthin.

The interior features of the building include three tiers of dormer windows set within the tiled roof and the spere truss (or aisle-truss) which is clearly visible upstairs.

The exact dating of the house is unknown, what is certain is that the core of the house was a medieval hall-house type, now difficult to recognise due to the many alterations that have taken place. In one of the rooms is a mural bearing, in moulding, the date 1657 and the Langford coat-of-arms. The Langfords were brought to Ruthin by the de Greys in the 15th century and served as  constables of Ruthin Castle. The property is said to have been purchased by Sir Hugh Myddleton in 1595. Sir Hugh virtually bankrupted himself in providing London with its first fresh water. Originally from a Denbigh family and a Denbigh benefactor in 1622 he was made a baronet as Sir Hugh Myddleton of Ruthin, citizen and Goldsmith of London

This building is located at 10 St. Peters Square, Ruthin, Clwyd, LL15 1AA

title: Wilderness Reserve

text:
Wilderness Reserve is a private estate of  in Suffolk's Yox Valley assembled by Jon Hunt since 1995 incorporating estates of Sibton Park, , Heveningham Hall, , Cockfield Hall,  and other land acquisitions within the catchments of the River Yox and Blyth Valley. The estate, which offers high-end holiday accommodation within an un-fenced landscape developed for wildlife and leisure activities includes a recently completed design for parkland and lakes by celebrated landscape architect Capability Brown (1716–1783).

History
The land and buildings for Wilderness Reserve have been assembled over time with various land purchases by Hunt.

The first purchase was Heveningham Hall in 1994 of , however but it was the later purchase of the nearby  Sibton Park estate that marked the start of the main Wilderness Reserve project. Various other acquisitions of land and buildings have also been made , including Cockfield Hall.

Capability Brown design realised
Designs for the grounds of Heveningham Hall commissioned from Capability Brown in 1782 by Gerard Vanneck, the then owner of hall, were only partly implemented following the death of the client the following year.

Hunt set about restoring Brown's original design, soon after purchasing hall in 1994 and sought the help of landscape architect Kim Wilkie. During the restoration of Brown's vision required the removal of modern features inconsistent with an 18th-century design including concrete roads, car parks, telegraph poles and farm outbuildings were either demolished or buried. and Wilkie says that "98 per cent" of Brown's original 600-acre design at Heveningham were now in place.

Wider areas have been developed according to principles that Brown would recognise as consistent with an Arcadian pleasure ground including lakes, parkland and woods and various historic manor houses.

Rewilding
The estate includes part of the valleys of the River Blyth and River Yox that lead to the nearby Minsmere nature reserve on the Heritage Coast. Hunt has said that he wanted to allow nature to recover naturally by rewilding much of the land. Country Life magazine reported, "…sharp-leaved fluellen, field madder, heartsease, corn mint – these and other plants that an arable farmer would regard as weeds flourish unsprayed". Returning this farmland to the wild over two decades has allowed significant numbers of animal species, flora and fauna to settle in the area.

Hunt has created new areas of pines, lakes and meadows, planting 800,000 trees and managing land for wildflowers. 2,000 nest boxes have been installed and there are now breeding populations of raptors, barn owls, buzzards and other at-risk species, together with many other mammal, amphibian, moth and butterfly populations. Country Life reports that the estate supports 13 pairs of breeding owls and is visited by bitterns. In 2013 it was reported that 72,000 ash trees under the threat of European chalara disease would need to be removed from the estate, to be replaced by hornbeam and oak.

Accommodation
Many buildings have been converted to offer high-end holiday accommodation:
 Sibton Park, an 1827 Georgian Grade II listed manor house.
 Sibton Park Walled Garden, accommodation for 16 people (as featured in New York Times in 2016).

 Garden Cottage, sleeps 6, abutting the Walled Garden
 Farmhouse, sleeps 12. Thatched house close to walled garden.
 Cartshed
 Clockhouse
 Barn
 Gate Lodges
 Hex Cottage
 Moat Cottage
 The Grange
 The Cider House
 The Hovel
 The Tabernacle
 Tennis Pavilion
 Together with various farmhouses, lodges and barns

Hunt's private residence, Heveningham Hall is adjacent to the estate, but some buildings within the estate have been made available for holiday accommodation, including a clockhouse, barn and a gate lodge, as well as a farmhouse said to have been visited by Alexa Chung. In 2013, Hunt told the Financial Times: "Farming alone won't pay for a modern estate to survive. Real estate will."

title: David Snell (composer)

text:
David L. Snell (10 September 1897 – 27 March 1967) was a pianist, conductor, composer and music director. He composed the music for over 170 shorts, series or feature films.

Early years

David L. Snell was born on 10 September 1897 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
He became a pianist, and studied at the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, Wisconsin College and the Meyer Conservatory of Music.
He formed his own orchestra, and was the musical director for several stage productions.

Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer music director
Snell joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's music department in 1937, turning out music for a range of films from low-cost "B" movies to expensive features.
He would spend his entire film career with MGM.
He was conductor, composer, and music director for MGM for twenty-one years.'
The work could be high pressure. In November 1938 Franz Waxman had just five days to put together the fifty-minute score for A Christmas Carol so it could be released in time for the holiday season. Snell helped out, writing the opening and closing credit cues and half a dozen other cues based on themes provided by Waxman.

Snell wrote music for many full-length films, shorts and B-movie series such as Dr. Kildare, Maisie and The Thin Man.

His songs include Under The Stars, Downstream Drifter, Come Back Little Girl Of Mine and Once Over Lightly.

Snell's scores often showed first-rate craftmanship, but his work has generally been ignored, perhaps because in most cases he chose to simply underscore the dialog as opposed to contributing complementary musical ideas.
However, for the 1947 Lady in the Lake, based on the Raymond Chandler novel and set around Christmas time, Snell chose to use a choir singing a cappella without musical accompaniment, providing an austere and effective "black and white" score to accompany the stark black and white cinematography.
The moody music echoed Christmas carols.

David L. Snell died at home in Glendale, California on March 27, 1967.

title: Bradford Bees

text:
The Bradford Bees were a minor league baseball team based in Bradford, Pennsylvania. The team was a charter member of the Pennsylvania-Ontario-New York (PONY) League and played 18 seasons from 1939 to 1957 (the team sat out the 1943 season due to World War II). Over the course of the team's history, the team also played under the names Bradford Beagles, Bradford Blue Wings, Bradford Phillies and Bradford Yankees. In its last season, the Beagles split their schedule between Bradford and Hornell after the Hornell Dodgers had ceased operations; in Hornell, the team was known as the Hornell Redlegs.

As the Bees, the team won the league title in 1941. The Blue Wings also won a league title in 1949.

Bradford no longer hosts baseball at the professional level, nor does it host summer baseball as a few other former PONY League markets that have shrunk to the point where they can no longer support the professional game have done.

title: Ffynnon Sara

text:
Ffynnon Sara is a Grade II listed building in the community of Derwen, Denbighshire, Wales, which dates back to the 6th century. It is listed by Cadw (Reference Number 24347).

Ffynnon Sara is a well near the small village of Derwen, Ruthin. The well is suspected of being linked to a founder of a monastery 8 miles away in Llanynys. This is due to the well standing by an ancient pilgrim trackway. Ffynon Sara is estimated to have been built around the 6th century. Up until the 17th century the name was Ffynnon Pyllau Perl ("The Pearl Pool Well"). A woman living in a nearby cottage named Sara became well known for tending the well hence the name was changed to Ffynnon Sara (Sarah's Well). Those cured at the well left sticks at Sara's cottage as a gift of thanks. There is no sign of the cottage today as it is believed to have burnt down in the 1860s. The well was repaired and now stands in its own grounds. There is access by a beautiful tree lined, cobbled path through a small gate set back off the road.

Location
This building is 1 km north west of Derwen church, in a small roadside enclosure with perimeter wall and gate.
