Barely Awake In Frog Pajamas
Unless you have a masochistic streak, you are as likely to have election fatigue as I am. However, the end of this highly-informative, enlightening period is near and, before the next president is inaugurated in January, a new slate of empty suits will already be jockeying for 2016.
(all of this is, obviously, contigent upon no year-end Mayan nonsense)
So, as I opt to periodically do – when I have no other viable or unviable ideas – it's time to pull up an old Billboard magazine Hot 100 chart and note the songs that debuted that week.
And, since 1982 was the year during which I first truly fell in love with the radio, here is the octet of songs which first appeared on the Hot 100 thirty years ago…
Judas Priest – You've Got Another Thing Comin'
from Screaming For Vengeance (1982)
(debuted #90, peaked #67, 7 weeks on chart)
I didn't go through a metal phase as a kid (or as an adult for that matter) and by the late '80s – when the hair-metal bands were ruling MTV – I thought the genre to be laughable. Over the ensuing years, I've come to enjoy some of the stuff, but, if I'm opting for metal from that period, I'm likely to dial up Iron Maiden.
However, Judas Priest, led by Rob Halford and the twin-guitar attack of Glenn Tipton and K. K. Downing, were titans of the metal world and fixtures in Circus magazine, one of the few music magazines stocked in the rack of our local drug store.
Though I've never embraced Judas Priest, I do recall hearing their driving You've Got Another Thing Comin' here and there at the time. It was catchy enough to give the band their lone US pop hit.
Bill Conti – Theme From Dynasty
from Television's Greatest Hits, Vol. 3 (1990)
I knew the name Bill Conti as the composer of Gonna Fly Now, the theme from the movie Rocky, but, as I never watched the show, I had never heard his theme from the television series Dynasty.
I know that Dynasty was about rich people and there's a snootier-than-thou vibe to the theme that I could imagine accompanying people playing polo, eating caviar, yachting, running for president or doing whatever else rich people do.
Frida – I Know There's Something Going On
from Something's Going On (1982)
(debuted #88, peaked #13, 29 weeks on chart)
I'm sure that, initially, I had no idea that the voice on I Know There's Something Going On belonged to one of the women from ABBA. And, I doubt at the time that I recognized the drumming on the song to be Phil Collins (although I'd soon become familiar with the cavernous sound that was his trademark).
Instead, I loved the thunderous sound and omnious vibe of the song. And, in retrospect, it's odd to think of Frida's lone hit getting played on the rock stations playing Tom Petty, Saga, and Def Leppard that would have never touched ABBA.
Men At Work – Down Under
from Business As Usual (1982)
(debuted #79, peaked #1, 25 weeks on chart)
Men At Work had dominated the radio during the late summer and early autumn of '82 with Who Can It Be Now? and, by Christmas, Down Under had become the Aussie act's second smash.
I do know that my friends and I – living in a world without MTV – had seen both of those videos on Casey Kasem's America's Top 10 and been delighted by lead singer Colin Hay's expressive antics and emotive nature. That Christmas, I received a copy of Business As Usual which I wore out over the following winter months.
Kim Carnes – Does It Make You Remember?
from Voyeur (1982)
Kim Carnes had unleashed the juggernaut Bette Davis Eyes upon the world in 1981 as music was beginning to tickle my fancy. Despite a lengthy career beginning in the '60s as a member of The New Christy Minstrels and a number of solo hits including More Love and Don't Fall In Love With A Dreamer, Bette Davis Eyes will headline the singer/songwriter's obituary.
Carnes' follow-up to Mistaken Identity, which contained Bette Davis Eyes, was destined to fail in matching its predecessors' success. Voyeur's title track came and went quickly as the album's initial single.
The second release was the mid-tempo Does It Make You Remember? which, like Voyeur, briefly reached the Top 40. It's not a bad song and well-suited for Carnes' raspy vocals, but my main memory of Does It Make You Remember? is that the singer seemed to appear on Solid Gold performing it every week that winter (accompanied by noted session guitarist Waddy Wachtel and his voluminous hair).
Phil Collins – You Can't Hurry Love
from Hello, I Must Be Going! (1982)
I knew little of Genesis and even less about The Supremes as 1982 wound down and Genesis' Phil Collins released his cover of the latter's classic You Can't Hurry Love. I knew Genesis for their recent hits from Abacab – No Reply At All, the title track, and Man On The Corner – but I doubt that I knew The Supremes whatsoever.
Though it obviously doesn't match the original, Phil Collins take on You Can't Hurry Love is likely as good as one might hope for from a drummer of a (increasingly less) progressive, English rock band.
John Cougar – Hand To Hold On To
from American Fool (1982)
Few acts had as good a year as Johnny Hoosier – as my buddy Bosco referred to local hero John Cougar – did in 1982. The gritty rocker had broken through with the mega-selling American Fool set which had spawned two hits in Hurts So Good and Jack And Diane that had dominated radio that summer and into the fall.
As I was living in Indiana, local radio had given heavy airplay to American Fool even before Hurts So Good broke nationally, meaning that by the time Hand To Hold On To was issued as the album's third single, I was well and truly tired of anything Cougar.
So, Hand To Hold On To usually prompted me to change the station, but, now, thirty years later, I hear it as a solid, amiable rock song, hardly as memorable as the first two hits but a decent track nonetheless.
Michael Jackson/Paul McCartney – The Girl Is Mine
from Thriller (1982)
If there is one song among Thriller's seven Top Ten hits that I haven't really heard on the radio in the three decades since it was a hit, it would be The Girl Is Mine, the duet that launched the album. Even at the time, it offered no hint at how Thriller would dominate the airwaves for the next eighteen months, well into 1984.
The Girl Is Mine was Paul McCartney's second superstar duet that year – he had paired with Stevie Wonder that spring on Ebony And Ivory – and it's a pleasant enough song with a goofy spoken word interlude. I always thought that its laid-back, breezy vibe would have made the song more suitable for warmer months.
Not long after The Girl Is Mine hit radio, the full album arrived and several of the stations I was listening to quickly jumped on Beat It with Eddie Van Halen on guitar, a far more intriguing track to me.
I hear The Girl Is Mine now and I can't help but hear a buddy ad-libbing "the goddamned girl is mine" in place of the more benign "the doggone girl is mine" in the chorus which was high hilarity to us at the time.

J.A. Bartlett says:
"The Girl Is Mine" sounds like it belongs on a McCartney album, while the other Paul/Michael duet, "Say Say Say," would fit better on "Thriller." I wonder if anybody involved in either one ever had second thoughts about how they were placed.
barelyawakeinfrogpajamas says:
Apparently Say Say Say was recorded at Abbey Road between May and September, 1981 and The Girl Is Mine in California over a few days in April, 1982. Thriller and The Girl Is Mine were released in autumn, 1982, while Say Say Say was the first single from McCartney's Pipes Of Peace and wasn't released until autumn, 1983.
I certainly hear you on the two songs, especially regarding The Girl Is Mine.
JohnnyDiego says:
Thank you for reminding me why I stopped listening to the radio long before 1982. My gawd, this stuff is awful.
kblumenau says:
I liked Men at Work a lot then and still do. For two albums, they were an excellent band. Colin Hay's voice is very reminiscent, to me, of the positives of that time and place.
Links to HEAR the songs will be available for two weeks.

Two of the most recent Portcril products joint in one.
Perfect for smaller spaces, this is the harmony between cork, cedar wood, acrylic and aluminum. With an unbounded choice of colors according to the client desire, and the quality of materials and technology that is always present in the various Portcril ranges.


The first prototype of Liquidmetal amorphous knife was developed by former engineers of Liquidmetal Coating. James Kang, the founder of Liquidmetal Technology, developed the technology further, and launched VMatter the first ever injection mold amorphous alloy knife. With further research and test, James and his engineers successfully brought the knife performance to a much higher level and at a much lower cost.
Liquidiamond amorphous alloy is engineered on the base of Liquidmetal and specially developed to enhance the benefits of cutting. Liquidmetal is the commercial name of a series of amorphous metal alloys developed by a California Institute of Technology (Caltech) research team and NASA and then authorized to Liquidmetal for commercial using by NASA. Liquidmetal amorphous alloys combine a number of desirable material features, including high tensile strength, excellent corrosion resistance, very high coefficient of restitution and excellent anti-wearing characteristics, while also being able to be heat-formed in processes similar to thermoplastics. Liquidmetal amorphous alloys can be twice as hard and strong as Titanium, which enable numerous superior features for many applications.
Amorphous alloys contain atoms of significantly different sizes, which form a dense mix with low free volume. Unlike crystalline metals, there is no obvious melting point at which viscosity drops suddenly. It behaves more like glass. At high temperature, it behaves in a plastic manner, allowing the mechanical properties to be controlled relatively easily during casting. Due to their non-crystalline structures, The zirconium and titanium based Liquidmetal alloys achieved yield strength of over 1723 MPa, nearly twice the strength of conventional crystalline titanium alloys.
The lack of grain boundaries in a metallic glass eliminates grain-boundary corrosion — a common problem in high-strength alloys produced by precipitation hardening and sensitized stainless steels. The combination of mechanical hardness, high elasticity and corrosion resistance makes Liquidmetal wear resistant. Although at high temperatures, plastic deformation occurs easily, almost none occurs at room temperature before the onset of catastrophic failure.
As a fundamental innovation of materials and metal, Liquidmetal amorphous alloys have set the new bench mark for performance and metal solutions in many areas such as consumer electronics, watch & jewelry, armory, medical instruments and high performance sports equipments.
SWATCH group has the exclusive patent authorization from Liquidmetal Technology and has successfully launched the limited edition Liquidmetal OMEGA SeaMaster watch featuring two hardest artificial materials ceramic and Liquidmetal alloy. James Bond was wearing the new edition in the latest 007 Movie Specter.

State, EPA examine risk after report of toxic chemicals at former Michigan tannery
State and federal officials spent more than an hour Tuesday detailing efforts to identify and address potential chemical contamination left in the wake of a former tannery and dump sites in Kent County.
The public meeting at the Rockford High School Fine Arts Auditorium addressed ongoing studies of per- and polyfluoroalkyl contamination in and near Rockford, including a January 2019 report to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on the former site of Wolverine Worldwide's Rockford tannery.
A result of months of testing in 2018, the report included results from thousands of samples taken from borings and wells throughout the tannery property, indicating high levels of not only PFAS, but also heavy-metal contaminants believed to stem from the tannery's decades of operation.
"We don't have that level of contamination that's an emergency at or near the surface," EPA on-scene coordinator Jeff Kimble told residents Tuesday. "We have looked at whether there's an immediate risk. We're now looking at 'OK, what's the risk for the next year?'"
The meeting, which was livestreamed, occurred the same day Gov. Gretchen Whitmer directed the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality to begin developing drinking water standards for PFAS instead of waiting on federal guidelines.
The "forever chemicals" known as PFAS are difficult to break down and were popularly used to create non-stick surfaces for products such as Scotchgard, Teflon and food wrappers, and firefighting foam. They have been associated with health risks such as thyroid disease, increased cholesterol levels, and kidney and testicular cancers.
The Wolverine Worldwide tannery in Rockford operated from the 1890s to 2009 and used PFAS-containing Scotchgard to treat some types of leather during that time. Items were dumped at a House Street disposal facility in Plainfield Township as well as other suspected dump sites. The tannery has since been demolished.
The MDEQ first began investigating Wolverine and the potential implications of the historic contamination in 2017 following a complaint from a citizens group. Testing later that year confirmed high levels of PFOS and PFOA, two of the most widely known PFAS compounds.
In January 2018, the state sued Wolverine in federal court to ensure that the company continue investigations, protect public health and clean up the contamination. The EPA also ordered Wolverine Worldwide to investigate the extent of the issue at the tannery and Plainfield Township dump site.
While the Plainfield Township, or House Street, report still is pending, Wolverine's tannery report, first obtained and reported on by MLive, was submitted in January and released publicly by Wolverine on Monday.
In its January 2019 report to the EPA, Wolverine Worldwide reported hundreds of samples taken in and around the site revealed high levels of PFOS and PFOA in soil, ground water, surface water and sediment. In some soil and ground water samples, testing also confirmed elevated levels of metals such as hexavalent chromium, lead, mercury and arsenic, according to the report.
The deeper sampling wells didn't appear to test as strongly for heavier metals and chemicals, other than PFAS, Kimble said.
"It seems like the PFAS got down into that aquifer and moved a lot quicker than this other stuff," Kimble said.
The EPA plans this year to work with residents to form a community advisory group in the affected area and the state may begin additional health assessments to determine potential links between the areas of heavier PFAS concentrations identified so far and the impact on public health.
"That will be something that's definitely developed in 2019," said Abigail Hendershott, district supervisor for remediation and redevelopment division of the MDEQ.
Wolverine has distributed to affected homeowners more than 500 whole-house filters, which continue to stop PFOA and PFOS compounds, the company said in a blog post Monday.
The company said in the blog post that Wolverine's commitment to addressing water quality issues "has never wavered," but noted that the company will continue to "vigorously defend" itself against the state's lawsuit.
In December, Wolverine filed a lawsuit in federal court against 3M, the manufacturer of the PFAS-containing Scotchgard, and is pursuing a resolution that would force 3M and Wolverine's insurers to take responsibility for the issues.

Happy December, everyone! It's that time of year when the coffee places start bringing out their winter goods. And, for whatever reason, my favorite beverage this year is peppermint mocha! I had to make some cookies for a bake sale for The Kid's daycare, and I decided to try to recreate my favorite drink in cookie form.
Like all cookies, these start out with softened butter.
Brown and white sugars come next.
The butter and sugars get creamed together until they're nice and smooth.
Measure and add some flour.
To get that coffee flavor, I wanted to use some instant coffee. However, I don't drink instant coffee, and I didn't want to buy a big container for just a few tablespoons. Luckily, I had some of this!
It's Starbucks' Via coffee--a mixture of instant and finely ground coffee. You just add hot water and you have a cup of hot, strong coffee. You could use either all instant or all finely ground, though. Espresso powder would be good.
I used three packets--the next time, I might add four. If I were using a weaker coffee, such as Folger's, I'd double the amount. Starbucks coffee is pretty dark.
And yes, it was pointed out to me that I'm a coffee snob. I don't even drink the coffee at work because I think it tastes like coffee water.
Baking soda will help the cookies rise.
Salt's always important in baked goods, especially things with chocolate. Salt really helps bring out the flavor of...well, just about everything.
Mix in the dry ingredients, and then add the eggs.
And add the vanilla. I didn't photograph that step, for whatever reason. Secrecy, I guess?
You should have a nice, thick dough that smells like a mocha in a bowl.
To up the chocolate factor, what better to add than chocolate chunks?
And to add that peppermint aspect, I grabbed some candy canes.
Use a can or some other heavy thing (like an unopened bottle of sesame oil) to crush the candy canes. You may need to double-bag the plastic bags, since the candy shards are pretty sharp and will make your bag hole-y.
I crushed them up fairly fine, but not to dust.
About a dozen small candy canes will yield you about 1/3 of a cup.
Fold the chunks and candy cane bits into the dough.
Because these are going to become sandwich cookies, it's pretty important that they turn out to be roughly the same size. So I used a small ice cream scoop to measure the dough.
I rolled the dough into balls and dipped the tops into some decorating sugar.
I used some peppermint sugar that I had on hand.
This made them pretty sweet. You could skip this step, but then you won't get the pretty sprinkles on top. So, it's your choice whether to bedazzle your cookies or not.
Set the cookies on a greased cookie sheet, and pop them in the oven.
Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let them cool completely before adding the filling.
Speaking of the filling, its delicious fatty base is butter and shortening.
And, to focus on the coffee/cocoa drink aspect again, I added some marshmallow fluff.
Whip everything together until the filling is nice and fluffy.
I keep squinting at the TV in this pic. I'm pretty sure I'm either watching Miami Animal Police or something on the History Channel about mobsters.
Powdered sugar will make the filling more frostinglike.
Peppermint extract will add even more to the peppermint flavors going on.
This is a nice, manageable frosting. The marshmallow fluff saw to that.
Spread a generous amount of frosting on a (completely cooled) cookie.
Then make yourself a nice, fat sandwich.
Roll the sandwiches in more crushed candy canes. Or sprinkle/press it on, if you don't like your cookies to look like they have five o'clock shadows.
Serve these cookies with a nice tall glass of milk, coffee, cocoa, eggnog, or your favorite holiday drink. These were popular at The Kid's bake sale--and they'll be popular with your family, too!
In a large mixing bowl, combine butter and sugars, and cream together. Add flour, cocoa, coffee granules, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until just combined. Stir in eggs and vanilla.
Add chocolate chunks and peppermint candy. Stir until combined.
Roll cookies into small balls. Dip the tops of the balls in decorating sugar, and then place at least 1" apart on a well-greased sheet. Bake at 350F for 10-12 minutes. Let cool completely before adding filling.
Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl; mix until light and fluffy.
Spread filling generously between two cooled cookies. Roll cookies in crushed peppermint cookies.
There is a holiday cookie contest at work and I think these will be perfect! And I'm going to make my husband help by crushing the candy!
Let me know how they go over! I made mine for a fundraiser for my kid's daycare; I worked the fundraiser for a couple hours, but it was before the lunch hour so not many people ate that early. I went home to bake some pies for Thanksgiving, and then came back, and between 10:30-1 they were completely devoured!
How many eggs? I was confronted with this in the middle of making them - 2 didn't seem right, so I used 3. The first batch is in the oven, I guess we'll find out!
Oh, sorry, 2! I'll go back and edit them in! Let me know how 3 worked out--I imagine you'd get really moist, chewy cookies!
It seemed to go fine, but I ran into so many roadblocks while making them (butter wouldn't cream, they stuck to the cookie sheet, the filling wouldn't come together until I added peppermint schnapps...) that I haven't even tried one! I got rave reviews from my boss and boyfriend, though.


In these last days, God has spoken.
In these last days, God has not been silent, but He has told us what we need to know to act, decide, and be reconciled with Him! And yet, too often we ignore what He has said.

Haas prof reports on the advantage of being first
By: Haas School of Business
How people make choices depends on many factors, but a new study finds people consistently prefer the options that come first: first in line, first college to offer acceptance, first salad on the menu – first is considered best.
The paper, "First is Best," published in PLoS ONE (June 27, 2012) by Dana R. Carney, assistant professor of management, University of California, Berkeley's Haas School of Business, and co-author Mahzarin R. Banaji, professor of psychology, Harvard University.
In three experiments, when making quick choices, participants consistently preferred people (salespersons, teams, criminals on parole) or consumer goods presented first as opposed to similar offerings in second and sequential positions. The authors say their findings may have practical applications in a variety of settings including in consumer marketing.
"The order of individuals performing on talent shows like American Idol. The order of potential companies recommended by a stockbroker. The order of college acceptance letters received by an applicant. All of these firsts have privileged status," says Carney. "Our research shows that managers, for example in management or marketing, may want to develop their business strategies knowing that first encounters are preferable to their clients or consumers."
The study found that especially in circumstances under which decisions must be made quickly or without much deliberation, preferences are unconsciously and immediately guided to those options presented first. While there are sometimes rational reasons to prefer firsts, e.g. the first resume is designated on the top of the pile because that person wanted the job the most, Carney says the "first is best" effect suggests that firsts are preferred even when completely unwarranted and irrational.
The study's first experiment asked 123 participants to evaluate three groups: (a) two teams, (b) two male salespersons, and (c) two female salespersons. First, participants were asked to join one of the two teams and were introduced to the Hadleys and the Rodsons. Immediately following the introduction, they decided which team to join. Next, participants were told they were buying a car and introduced to two male salespersons: Jim and Jon. Immediately following the introduction, they selected the salesperson from whom they preferred to buy a car. Finally, participants were told they needed to re-make their car-buying decision and that they would be introduced to two new salespersons; this time, female: Lisa and Lori. After sequential introduction they, again, decided which person they'd like to buy a car from.
When asking participants about their choices, the researchers asked about choice in two ways: conscious/deliberate choice, which was self-reported (i.e.., "I prefer Lisa to Lori"), or they completed a reaction-time task adapted from cognitive psychology in which participants' automatic, unconscious preference for each option was assessed (i.e. "good," "better," "superior"). Regardless of whom people said they preferred, on the unconscious, cognitive measure of preference, participants always preferred the first team or person to whom they were introduced.
To test the choice preferences of consumer goods, the researchers asked 207 passengers at a train station to select one of two pieces of similar bubble gum in a "rapid decision task" or choosing within a second of seeing the choices (using psychologist Daniel Kahneman's theory on 'thinking, fast and slow'). Once again, the result was the same: when thinking fast, the bubble gum presented first was the preferable choice in most cases.
Researchers considered the salespeople and the gum relatively positive stimuli, without controversy. In order to test their theory with negatively charged options, Carney and Banaji asked another group of 31 participants to choose between pairs of convicted criminals and decide which one was more worthy of parole instead of prison. After viewing mug shots of two 29 year-old criminals known to have committed the same violent crimes with similar features and facial expressions, again, when "thinking fast," participants judged the first criminal presented as more worthy of parole.
If order matters, why? Carney contends the proven "primacy has power" theory may provide the best answers. The paper cites, "a preference for firsts has its origins in an evolutionary adaptation favoring firsts …" For example, in most cases, humans tend to innately prefer the first people they meet: a mother, family members. In addition, those preferences are associated with what's safe. Carney says the historic concept of the established "pecking order" also supports their findings that people find "first is best."

Harrods in metamorphosis under Qatari ownership
It is just three years since the investment fund Qatar Holding, a subsidiary of Qatar Investment Authority, paid $1.7 billion on behalf of Mohamed Al Fayed to purchase the famous London department store Harrods, founded in 1840.
After the acquisition, the new owners said they wanted to make Harrods a global company with the goal to define luxury in retail and entertainment," recalls Kate Ormrod, analyst at Verdict, a British-based retail analysis firm. The investment fund does not skimp on resources. In 2011-2012, it injected some 128 million euros in the department store as opposed to the 38 million euros it had spent a year earlier. Such a rate of investment is expected to continue in 2012 and has helped finance a compendium of projects: Harrods, which represents 5.1% of department stores sales in the UK (Source: Mintel), opened a new distribution center in Newbury to support sales growth, which totaled 771 million euros in 2011 (+11%) with taxable profits of 148 million euros (+15%). A Harrods opened in Terminal 5 at Heathrow Airport, and the store in Terminal 3 was renovated along with a relaunch of its website. The group has also stepped up its concessions openings: a new men's shoe department, a dedicated watch store (Watches Emporium), the first-ever Tom Ford ready-to-wear boutique and the creation of a huge children's toy store last July called Toy Kingdom. "There has also been an influx of new brands, especially in men's and women's fashion [Carven, Alexander Wang, editor's note]," says Kate Ormrod. "The product offering was expanded to include new designer brands but also mid-range brands to allow the department store to attract less affluent customers." The men's, accessories and children's departments were reorganized while sportswear was expanded.
Le shop in shop Berluti chez Harrods
Harrods is also sending hints to its international customers by allowing the use of UnionPay cards and internationalizing its store signage. Pure Qatari touches are also being quietly developed. On the second floor, the In-Q café offers beverages and the chance to purchase items and clothing symbolizing the culture of the emirate. The opening of an agency for the national airline Qatar Airways is planned for the coming weeks. New international projects are being considered. In July 2012, Harrods announced its plans to create a hotel chain under the Harrods brand in Kuala Lumpur, New York, Paris and London. This summer the department store is also planning to open a pop-up shop in Porto Cervo in Sardinia. But if the projects are flowing, management under the leadership of CEO Michael Ward remains stable. Harrods recruited John Edgar from Selfridges to be its new chief financial officer, and Sarah Brown, wife of former Prime Minister Gordon Brown to the position of non-executive director in charge of governance. "British brands seem to attract foreign investors, but these investors do not seem to want to invest heavily in these companies and prefer to let the existing management decide on the future directions," summed up Kate Ormrod.

With the elegant fashion style, refinement and glamour is key. The woman with this type of fashion style won't step foot outside without looking her best, and pays close attention to creating a wardrobe filled head to toe with the most glamorous and classy pieces. She is a lover of all things that dazzle and wouldn't be caught without her diamonds and jewels, as well as a very stunning outfit that makes heads turn. She's the perfect combination of sophisticated and sexy!
Yves Saint Laurent started his brand in 1962 after working at the house of Dior, where he was famously appointed head designer at young age 21. Many of fashion's most iconic creations can be attributed to YSL, including the women's tuxedo jacket, the high-fashion peacoat, and the shirt dress. In addition to iconic clothing, he was also among the first designers to feature non-white models. Yves stayed at the brand until his retirement in 2002. He died in June 2008.
London has long been the capital of the United Kingdom fashion industry and has a wide range of foreign designs which have integrated with modern British styles. Typical, British design is smart but innovative yet recently has become more and more unconventional, fusing traditional styles with modern techniques. Vintage styles play an important role in the British fashion and styling industry. Stylists regularly 'mix and match' the old with the new, which gives British style that unique, bohemian aesthetic that many of the other fashion capitals try to imitate. Irish fashion (both design and styling) is also heavily influenced by fashion trends from Britain.

After graduation won the Best Student Award! Launched his label "Manish-Arora" & started vending in India. Manish symbolized India at HongKong Fashion Week, in the year 2000 and also participated in the first Indian-Fashion-Week held in New-Delhi. In the next year he launched his other label "Fish Fry" , it was shown in six topmost Indian-cities. His future in our space stimulated line at Wills-India-Fashion-Week fascinated many international viewers, in 2007. Arora is an industrious man who's always on the go! Because of his intellect and beautiful sense of styling, MAC has enrolled him to team up on a new project, the Raj-inspired-beauty-range. He also introduced his jewelry collection in 2012 that was much loved. He's recognized for his eccentric amalgamation of western&Indian clothing that assemble perfectly!
"Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury." No quote could be more appropriate from the woman who gave us the little black dress. Born August 19, 1883, in Saumur, France, Coco Chanel is famous for her timeless designs, trademark suits, and little black dresses. Chanel had a brief career as a singer before opening her first clothes shop in 1910. In the 1920s, she launched her first perfume and introduced the Chanel suit and the little black dress.
Until the 1950s, fashion clothing was predominately designed and manufactured on a made-to-measure or haute couture basis (French for high-sewing), with each garment being created for a specific client. A couture garment is made to order for an individual customer, and is usually made from high-quality, expensive fabric, sewn with extreme attention to detail and finish, often using time-consuming, hand-executed techniques. Look and fit take priority over the cost of materials and the time it takes to make.[2][3] Due to the high cost of each garment, haute couture makes little direct profit for the fashion houses, but is important for prestige and publicity.[4]

"Leather has become a key player in our wardrobes; it's now much more accessibly priced and the breadth of styles means we can wear it all year long. Designers manipulated this fabrication which draped and felt like wool, cotton or silk," says von der Goltz. "Faux leather continues to be a rising trend, with Nanushka leading the way. Nearly half of our Nanushka buy for A/W 19 is made up of vegan leather looks."
"Floral dresses are a wardrobe staple no matter the season, and for autumn, they were back and bigger than ever, referencing the '40s and an homage to swing dancing in particular, with midi lengths as the key shape from the likes of Dries Van Noten, Miu Miu and Erdem," says Hsu. "Alessandra Rich remains a key favourite when it comes to her feminine and wearable floral dresses, which offer the perfect desk to dinner outfit worn with heeled boots. Satin was also key fabric this season, with a mix of high-neck and V-neck iterations."
It was a season where emotions, personalities and uniqueness reigned supreme. The monthlong round of shows culminated in a heart-warming and outstanding Chanel show—the last ever technically created by the late creative director, Karl Lagerfeld. An alpine scene magically assembled within Paris's Grand Palais featured a lineup of Chanel girls old and new, and a finale to rival any—with the likes of Karen Elson, unable to hold back the tears, walking through the "snow" next to Cara Delevingne, Mica Argañaraz and Penelope Cruz, to name but a few high-profile faces. The show also confirmed that one of the designer's most beloved of fabrics—bouclé—was set to be a trending choice for A/W 19.
If there's one thing that guaranteed Instagram likes all year thus far, it's hair accessories. Whether giant padded headbands or cutesy diamanté clips, the enthusiasm for this outfit add-on shows no sign of slowing down for autumn/winter and the accompanying party season. We were particularly enamoured with the most outré options, like Simone Rocha's crystal tiaras or Alessandra Rich's marabou halos.
Donna Karan came from a background that was related to fashion in certain ways. This fashion designer worked as a head of a design team for a few number of years and launched some designs that included the very well-known 'Seven Easy Pieces'. She is the sole creator of the DKNY label (Donna Karen New York). Since then, this label has seen many new additions in the fashion segment.


Peebles Seniors completed their home fixtures for this season with a victory over local rivals, Torwoodlee.
Things didn't start too well for the home team with the opening pair of Ian Tate and George Cunningham losing narrowly by one hole. However, debutant Neil Byers and his partner Andy Tucker quickly restored parity with a 3&1 win.
David Wright and Brian Robson ensured that Peebles got their noses in front with a hard earned 2&1 victory.
Game 4 provided the closest encounter of the day. Former team captain Vic Roberts and his partner Gordon Fisher came up against a very determined pair led by the Torwoodlee captain Keith Allen. The lead changed hands many times but in the end the teams could not be separated and the game was halved.
The home team finished the match very strongly. In game 5 Ian Pemberton and Ian Mewett won comfortably by 5&4 and in the final game of the day Gordon Brown and Graeme Murray closed the proceedings on the 16th green to win 3&2.

Mystery disease kills ducks in Alappuzha
ALAPPUZHA, November 30, 2021 19:19 IST
Mass death of ducks at Purakkad in Alappuzha has triggered panic among farmers in the region.
Joseph Cherian, a duck farmer, said he had lost 9,000 ducks (around 70 days old) in the past week due to a mysterious illness.
Animal Husbandry Department officials said samples of dead birds had been sent to the National Institute of High-Security Animal Diseases (NIHSAD), Bhopal, for analysis. "The cause of the deaths is yet to be ascertained. We are awaiting the examination results, which is expected in the next 48 hours. All the dead ducks belonged to a single farmer. Other than the deaths at Purakkad, no such incidents have been reported from anywhere in the district," said an official.
The samples were sent to NIHSAD after tests conducted at the Avian Disease Diagnostic Laboratory at Thiruvalla and the State Institute for Animal Diseases remained inconclusive...

Bird flu hits Kottayam once again
KOTTAYAM, December 14, 2021 23:29 IST
In a major blow to duck farmers ahead of the festive season, authorities have confirmed the presence of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus in three panchayats of Kottayam district.

Bird flu in more places in Alappuzha
ALAPPUZHA, January 03, 2022 19:30 IST
Updated: January 03, 2022 19:30 IST
Bird flu outbreak has been confirmed in more places in Alappuzha. Officials of the Animal Husbandry Department said that more than 19,000 ducks within a one-km radius of the hotspots in Pallipad and Ambalappuzha North grama panchayats would be culled in the next two days.
The outbreak has so far been confirmed in seven grama panchayats in Alappuzha. Avian flu was first confirmed in ducks at Kunnumma South (ward 10) in Thakazhy grama panchayat on December 8. Later, it was reported from Nedumudi and Karuvatta on December 14, followed by cases in Purakkad and Cheruthana. Last week, more than 16,000 ducks within a one-km radius of a hotspot in Ambalappuzha North grama panchayat were culled...

GRAND CAYMAN, Cayman Islands, April 11, 2019 /CNW/ — In the era of fake news, the demand for impartial, reliable information is high. For over a decade, users have turned to Wikipedia for factual information, as the site has significantly impacted education and online knowledge-sharing. To better understand Wikipedia users' sentiments, Everipedia, the world's largest online English encyclopedia, recently surveyed 1,000 people living in the United States to explore their experiences and opinions regarding Wikipedia's reliability. Although Wikipedia is a widely-used resource, some users are beginning to question its neutrality due to the limited number of editors responsible for creating content. In fact, Wikipedia has recently been in the news because a third of the site's content is created by just one man.
When users were asked to define the main reason they do not edit Wikipedia articles, nearly 70 percent said they never submitted an edit due to Wikipedia's complicated editing process, limiting the number of Wikipedia editors significantly.
Users are also concerned with the lack of diversity within Wikipedia's editor base, an issue the Wikimedia Foundation has acknowledged. On Wikipedia pages entitled "racial bias on Wikipedia" and "gender bias on Wikipedia," there are quotes from the Wikimedia Foundation acknowledging that Wikipedia's editor base is predominantly white and male.
Over half (60 percent) of respondents think the under-representation of people of color within Wikipedia's editor base is a problem and only about one-third (36 percent) of respondents are satisfied with Wikipedia's content regarding women or women's issues.
Users are also intrigued by the idea of compensating content contributors for their contributions. Nearly three-quarters (71 percent) of respondents believe Wikipedia content would be better if contributors were compensated and three-quarters (75 percent) of respondents said they'd be more likely to contribute to Wikipedia if they were compensated.
Originally started in 2015 as a more modern and inclusive alternative to Wikipedia, Everipedia is now building the world's first peer-to-peer encyclopedia on the blockchain, incentivizing content creators by making them stakeholders in the knowledge base themselves. With millions of monthly unique users and over 6 million wiki articles, everipedia.org has already surpassed English Wikipedia as the world's largest English Encyclopedia by content.

In genetics, coverage is one of several measures of the depth or completeness of DNA sequencing, and is more specifically expressed in any of the following terms:
Sequence coverage (or depth) is the number of unique reads that include a given nucleotide in the reconstructed sequence. Deep sequencing refers to the general concept of aiming for high number of unique reads of each region of a sequence.
Physical coverage, the cumulative length of reads or read pairs expressed as a multiple of genome size.
Genomic coverage, the percentage of all base pairs or loci of the genome covered by sequencing.

Sequence coverage

Rationale
Even though the sequencing accuracy for each individual nucleotide is very high, the very large number of nucleotides in the genome means that if an individual genome is only sequenced once, there will be a significant number of sequencing errors. Furthermore, many positions in a genome contain rare single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Hence to distinguish between sequencing errors and true SNPs, it is necessary to increase the sequencing accuracy even further by sequencing individual genomes a large number of times.

Ultra-deep sequencing
The term "ultra-deep" can sometimes also refer to higher coverage (>100-fold), which allows for detection of sequence variants in mixed populations. In the extreme, error-corrected sequencing approaches such as Maximum-Depth Sequencing can make it so that coverage of a given region approaches the throughput of a sequencing machine, allowing coverages of >10^8.

Transcriptome sequencing
Deep sequencing of transcriptomes, also known as RNA-Seq, provides both the sequence and frequency of RNA molecules that are present at any particular time in a specific cell type, tissue or organ. Counting the number of mRNAs that are encoded by individual genes provides an indicator of protein-coding potential, a major contributor to phenotype. Improving methods for RNA sequencing is an active area of research both in terms of experimental and computational methods.

Calculation
The average coverage for a whole genome can be calculated from the length of the original genome (G), the number of reads (N), and the average read length (L) as . For example, a hypothetical genome with 2,000 base pairs reconstructed from 8 reads with an average length of 500 nucleotides will have 2× redundancy. This parameter also enables one to estimate other quantities, such as the percentage of the genome covered by reads (sometimes also called breadth of coverage). A high coverage in shotgun sequencing is desired because it can overcome errors in base calling and assembly. The subject of DNA sequencing theory addresses the relationships of such quantities.

Physical coverage
Sometimes a distinction is made between sequence coverage and physical coverage. Where sequence coverage is the average number of times a base is read, physical coverage is the average number of times a base is read or spanned by mate paired reads.

Genomic coverage
In terms of genomic coverage and accuracy, whole genome sequencing can broadly be classified into either of the following:
A draft sequence, covering approximately 90% of the genome at approximately 99.9% accuracy
A finished sequence, covering more than 95% of the genome at approximately 99.99% accuracy
Producing a truly high-quality finished sequence by this definition is very expensive. Thus, most human "whole genome sequencing" results are draft sequences (sometimes above and sometimes below the accuracy defined above).

It wasn't that long ago that I reported on the Marvel SheevaPlug wall plug computer, well now the SheevaPlug is available in the UK from New IT. The SheevaPlug is basically a 1.2 GHz CPU low power computer equipped with 512 MB of FLASH and 512 MB of DRAM.
The SheevaPlug also features a gigabit ethernet connection and a very small physical footprint, measuring just 110mm (L) x 69.5mm (W) x 48.5 mm (H). The SheevaPlug is designed to plug directly into a power outlet to save space too. Since the main units have the US 2-pin style plug connector, the kit from New IT comes with an EU 2 pin power adapter, a UK 3 pin power adapter and a UK 3 pin power cable.
When I was looking up the power consumption, I found the consumption to be rated at a surprising 19W. The norm for power consumption in low power computers seems to be around 10W, so I was surprised that the SheevaPlug is rated higher than this.
Prices for the SheevaPlug start at £89.00 from NewIT and include a USB cable, an ethernet cable and the mains plug adaptors.

Just Stop Oil protesters defy cops again as arrests made on second day of action
Ten more arrests have been made after a protest outside a giant Midland oil terminal today. It was the second demonstration in two days at the Kingsbury depot, near Tamworth.
Activists stood and held placards outside the UK's largest inland oil depot on April 27. According to protesters, they were arrested "pretty swiftly".
Yesterday, April 26, some 16 people were taken into custody for blocking the entrance to the site. Activists on the ground told BirminghamLive it was the first action since they wrote to Boris Johnson demanding a halt to all future licensing and consent for the exploration, development and production of fossil fuels in the UK.
Climate protester sprays government building with paint using fire extinguisher
Campaigners from a group called 'Axe Drax' covered the headquarters of the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy with paint using a fire extinguisher.
According to the group's social media account, they want to pressure the government into cutting ties with the Drax Group.
It's part a string of protests targeting the company, which operate a biomass fuel station in North Yorkshire.

These included the removal of monthly gold licences, replaced by a much more affordable annual miner's licence. This event is known as the Eureka stockade. Journal of Australian Colonial History. The rebellion at the Eureka Stockade took terrible casualties, but although the miners were defeated on the day, they were successful in bringing about the changes they sought. It was sent to to be restored at a cost of more than 100,000. Following a Commission of Enquiry, changes were put in place.
Eureka Stockade (1949 film)
Do they mean Chartism or Republicanism? He was released from prison on 28 June 1855, precisely three months early. There were frequent licence hunts, during which the miners were ordered to produce proof of their licences, and this increased the sense of unrest. They built a , or stockade, on Bakery Hill above the gold diggings on the Eureka gold lead. These included abolition of monthly gold licences, replaced by an … affordable annual miner's licence. It was used during the racial riots at. Democracy was a relatively new idea in 1854 and many of the miners who had travelled to the colony were pushing for it. A Commission of Enquiry was conducted and changes were implemented.
Eureka Stockade
Public Record Office Victoria, 2003. As photos of actual events are sometimes not available, I will often use photographs of similar events and objects for illustration. At 3:00am on Sunday, 3 December 1854, 276 police and military personnel and several civilians stormed the stockade in what is known as the Battle of the Eureka Stockade. Over the next thirty years, press interest in the events that had taken place at the Eureka Stockade dwindled, but Eureka was kept alive at the campfires and in the pubs, and in memorial events in Ballarat. Number of beds in a healthcare unit in-patient facility 6. Licences had to be paid whether or not a digger found gold.
Eureka Rebellion
There were fewer troopers on the goldfields, and intrusive spot-checks ceased. This was when the gold miners on the Ballarat goldfields rebelled against the monthly gold licence, not to mention the surprise licence checks which could result in people being thrown in gaol. There are several components of the mind to be discussed. Bentley was a friend of the local magistrate and he escaped prosecution, as did three other men from the group. Retrieved 21 August 2012 — via National Library of Australia. Less successful diggers found it difficult to pay their licence fees.
Eureka Stockade Rebellion
In addition, the journey to Ballarat from Melbourne was not an easy one and most people walked for over three days due to the high cost of coaches. The story supported the original problem, but equations were then brought into the story later on. Many nationalist groups have started to use the flag as a symbol. Later, Lalor was elected Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Victoria. People are concerned that it will become a symbol of leaving people out, and not a symbol of Australian. Although the rebellion itself failed in its objective, it did gain the attention of the Government. The official register of deaths in the Ballarat District Register shows 27 names associated with the stockade battle at Eureka.
What was the Eureka Stockade
An estimation of 120 miners were arrested after the Stockade, many of them being innocent. The rebellion was caused by a number of issues within the gold fields. Watt ultimately decided not to do this and always regretted it. The unusual proportion of the killed to the wounded, is owing to the butchery of the military and troopers after the surrender. It was given to the in the 1890s. The population of Victoria grew from just over 77,000 in 1851 to almost 237,000 by 1854. On the 11th of November 1854, ten thousand miners met to demand the release of the three men, the right for all males to vote and the abolition of the miners license; this meeting led to the formation of the Ballarat Reform League.
The Eureka Stockade
Do they mean Chartism or Republicanism? After 12 months, all but one of the demands of the Ballarat Reform League had been granted. Conditions on the Australian goldfields were extremely harsh, likeove … r-crowded dustbowls. The hostilities grew between police officers, diggers. Some weeks prior, the Victorian Government has sent the 12th and 40th Regiments to the goldfields to support the police troops who attacked. Her book Forgotten Rebels of Eureka details how Charles Evans' diary describes a funeral for a woman who was mercilessly butchered by a mounted trooper while pleading for the life of her husband during the Eureka massacre. However, thirteen of them were charged with High Treason, despite the evidence against them, not a single one of the miners were found guilty.
They were attacked by the British Army. They were attacked by the British Army. Retrieved 21 August 2012 — via National Library of Australia. There were over 1,000 miners at the stockade the previous evening, but there was not enough room for them and the majority were sent home to return the following morning.

Chávez's Passing: In the Hemisphere's Words
Chavez | by Donmatas1 | Flickr | Creative Commons
Below are excerpts from statements made by leaders of the Western Hemisphere upon learning of the passing of Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez. The tone of the U.S. President and Canadian Prime Minister's remarks is different from the Latin Americans'.
Barack Obama (U.S.A.)
"As Venezuela begins a new chapter in its history, the United States remains committed to policies that promote democratic principles, the rule of law, and respect for human rights."
Stephen Harper (Canada)
" I would like to offer my condolences to the people of Venezuela on the passing of President Chávez.
"Canada looks forward to working with his successor and other leaders in the region to build a hemisphere that is more prosperous, secure and democratic.
"At this key juncture, I hope the people of Venezuela can now build for themselves a better, brighter future based on the principles of freedom, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights."
Enrique Peña (México)
"Lamento el fallecimiento del Presidente Hugo Chávez. Mis más sentidas condolencias a su familia y al pueblo venezolano".
Ollanta Humala (Perú)
"Adiós Comandante y amigo Hugo Chávez. Mis sentidas condolencias a su familia y a todo el pueblo venezolano".
Ricardo Martinelli (Panamá)
"Deseamos expresarle nuestro pésame al Pueblo Venezolano y a la Familia Chávez por el sensible fallecimiento del Presidente Hugo Chávez".
Evo Morales (Bolivia)
"Duele, pero también queremos decir a los pueblos, fuerza y unidad ahora más que nunca. Estamos destrozados".
Juan Manuel Santos (Colombia)
"Lamento profundamente la muerte del presidente de Venezuela Hugo Chávez Frías. Nuestras sinceras condolencias"
Dilma Rousseff (Brasil)
"Estamos de luto por la pérdida de un gran amigo. Va a dejar un hueco en 'la historia y en las luchas' de América Latina".
Sebastián Piñera (Chile)
"Fue un hombre profundamente comprometido con la integración de América Latina. … Sin duda teníamos diferencias, pero siempre supe apreciar la fuerza, el compromiso y la voluntad con la cual el Presidente Chávez luchaba por sus ideas".

Venezuela: A New Start?
Mexico: A Hard Road for Reforms
Prof. Arturo C. Porzecanski
/ March 7, 2013
For the sake of completeness, President Obama's statement started out by saying: "At this challenging time of President Hugo Chavez's passing, the United States reaffirms its support for the Venezuelan people and its interest in developing a constructive relationship with the Venezuelan government." For the sake of context, you might also have noted that two U.S. Embassy officers had been ordered expelled from the country hours before the announcement of Chavez's death, having been accused of conspiracy to destabilize Venezuela. No other government leader besides President Obama was put in the position of having to issue a gracious condolence statement despite having just been accused — the way his Administration was accused — of conspiracy to destabilize that country!
Max Paul Friedman
Prof. Porzecanski has offered valuable context. Still more context could include the use of US funds to support the Venezuelan opposition (which would rankle Americans if done by a foreign government here), and the lingering distrust over the Bush administration's premature celebration of the 2002 coup attempt against Chavez. There has been no shortage of provocation from both sides. The question is whether the US could achieve more by taking the high road. If the United States is interested in influencing the nature of government in Venezuela, it might begin by asking what will be more effective: admonitions that sound to Chavez's many supporters like bidding good riddance to the leader they repeatedly elected, or statements of solidarity that refreshingly depart from Washington's longstanding inclination to "teach the South American republics to elect good men" (Woodrow Wilson, one hundred years ago).
Julio Corzo
Mr. Friedman "forgets" that the castrofascist regime in Cuba supports Chavez long before he got the presidency, "forgets" also that USA supported Castro with money, weapons and a huge propaganda campaign when the tyrant was fighting Batista…… and supported Castro putting aside other revolutionary groups that also fought Batista giving preference to Castro for ideological reasons……… countries and power groups always gives support to someone…… to try to present one specific supportive streams as an evil thing is not honest knowing that there are other countries and power groups working in opposite way.

Description for Minecraft APK
You know, anyone who is anyone has either heard or experienced this extraordinary piece of art. In fact, people of all ages are paying their respects and enjoying the Minecraft APK game to this day.
What makes this simulator so amazing is the extremely simple concept. Little block people frolic in an expansive sandbox world. Surviving the forces of nature and transforming the world around them into their own image.
Furthermore, anything within your imagination is no difficult task to accomplish when you obtain the Minecraft pe free download.
The charm of Minecraft
First, there are many aspects of Minecraft pe that separate it from the competition. And it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out the basics. Anyone can evolve into a veteran of the game in just a couple of hours to even minutes.
Start the game by chopping down trees, digging into the ground, harvesting rocks and boulders. All for the sake of gathering materials to build your dreamscape.
From this point you simply build. Build, build, build. Until you cannot build any longer. In fact, every material has its own use, no matter how insignificant it may look. Additionally, you can buy select materials in the shop available.
Speaking of the shop, the store in Minecraft APK has many different treasures to exploit. Blueprints for some legendary structures (like the Deathstar or Eiffel tower). Even additional skins for your character. Add some personality into your gameplay for more immersion and personal-play.
Online modes allow for the fun to never end with both friends and strangers. Furthermore, you can visit another player's sandbox and admire the creativity. Maybe even get some new ideas for yourself.
Beware, Survival Mode will bring outside forces to stop you. As a survival game, you must defend yourself against wild animals, zombies and many more dangers. Don't be afraid, there are many weapons to help protect you from these deadly distractions.
Pocket Sized Adventures await with Minecraft Pocket Edition
In fact, there's more fun to be had with this Pocket edition of Minecraft APK for Android and iOS. Take the adventure with you for more dedicated hours an immersion.
Imagine, you're having a boring day in-between work or school. There's literally nothing else to do. You're lost in thoughts and your imagination is peaking. What better time than now to take out your phone and build some ground-breaking monuments?
You see where we're going with this? And that's just one example to be said about Minecraft pe APK.
This byte-sized (get it?) version of the game bring more vibrant and colourful graphics to match your touch-screen device. Actually, they may be more impressive compared to browsers and home consoles.
Convenient touch actions and user-friendly controls to match Android and iOS. Tapping, holding, swiping and sliding are all that's required to fully enjoy the pocket builder. No carpal tunnel for me, thank you.
Revised terrain and locations. You can traverse and build in locations both similar and quite different from the original versions. Take full advantage of the scenery, make the perfect beach house, or a giant city, eclipsing the mountains.
When you get the Minecraft pe APK download, you'll notice some additional content, not present in other versions of the game. That's right, this version contains exclusive content for everyone to feel like they are playing something truly special. Because they are.
Of course, we don't need to tell you this, but the Pocket Edition is a much smaller size than others. So, you can expect fast download and installation speeds. No need to wait too long. That is, unless you have some pretty crappy Wi-Fi.
Overall, with a mobile Minecraft you can take the fun anywhere you go. There's never a creative block between your ideas and getting home to build, when you take the building with you.
Finally, Minecraft is a personal experience with each player. You cannot imitate the events of one player and directly compare to another. Every detail during the play-through of one person's adventure is strictly personal to themselves.
That is the beauty of Minecraft. Every moment is yours and yours, alone. It will always hold a special place in your heart. Every day is a new personal struggle or productive day to be had.
Now, who would like to be a part of this amazing experience? Why not? Download the Minecraft APK latest version or update ASAP. Don't waste any more time.
The best building simulator is just a click away. Experience a never-ending life changing phenomenon.
