Creamfields Wows Crowds with Blackmagic Design Live Production Workflow
Fremont, CA – October 11, 2021 – Blackmagic Design today announced that Creamfields, the UK's biggest dance music festival, was delivered using a live production workflow built around ATEM production switchers and HyperDeck recorders.
The four day festival held over the August bank holiday weekend welcomed around 80,000 people to Daresbury, Cheshire to see some of the biggest names in dance music, including Tiesto, David Guetta, Carl Cox and Chase and Status perform across multiple stages.
Handed the brief to be the sole provider of AV with three weeks' notice, UK based CSD Productions deployed an OB truck and three flyaway kits for organizer Live Nation. "We had several weeks to pull together what would normally take six months of planning," reveals Andrew McQuillan of CSD Productions.
Adding: "We've supplied our OB trucks to Creamfields for the fourth and fifth stages previously, and we've handled the broadcast and video package for individual Creamfields shows throughout the year, such as Cream Classical, but we've never handled the main stage.
"There was a steep learning curve for us an organization, but the key to our success was locking in the delivery specs with Live Nation and the various artists as early in the process as possible. We knew the best way to achieve a successful outcome was to use our experience and knowledge of Blackmagic Design's hardware and upscale it."
The ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K formed the systems backbone, with a mix of ATEM 4 M/E Broadcast Studio 4K and ATEM 2 M/E Production Studio 4K switchers covering the different stages. For acquisition, stages one through three each had jib cameras, and all had front of house positions with one box lens and one wide lens.
McQuillan continues: "The output from each camera chain had to be converted from quad SDI to single link 12G-SDI using Teranex Mini converters, then routed to the production switcher. SmartView Duo 4K monitors were used to provide the vision engineers with a four way preview with waveform for monitoring."
The requirements and specifications demanded by the organizers and artists create a whole new pressure processing data.
The main stage was UltraHD 4K this year, with CSD utilizing HyperDeck Studio 12G recorders. The other stages relied on HyperDeck Studio HD Pros for the respective program feeds and HyperDeck Minis recording to SD card for the individual camera ISO.
"This is the first time we've recorded all the individual camera ISO feeds on top of the various program mixes from each stage," recalls McQuillan.
Adding: "We had a media cabin where we were downloading all of the SSDs, so the Blackmagic MultiDock 10G was ideal for taking four SSDs in at once. We've spent the last month just processing the data from Creamfields."
"We like the fact that the Blackmagic workflow is simple to use and its network adaptability," concludes McQuillan. "You can intuitively work out how certain aspects will work together, once you understand the general architecture."
Blackmagic Design creates the world's highest quality video editing products, digital film cameras, color correctors, video converters, video monitoring, routers, live production switchers, disk recorders, waveform monitors and real time film scanners for the feature film, post production and television broadcast industries. Blackmagic Design's DeckLink capture cards launched a revolution in quality and affordability in post production, while the company's Emmy™ award winning DaVinci color correction products have dominated the television and film industry since 1984. Blackmagic Design continues ground breaking innovations including 6G-SDI and 12G-SDI products and stereoscopic 3D and Ultra HD workflows.

November Road by Lou Berney
HarperCollins: 10/22/19
paperback; 320 pages
November Road by Lou Berney is a very highly recommended novel that is part thriller, part character study, and thoroughly exceptional. Set in 1963 after the assassination of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, this is an incredible story of fugitives making connections while on the run across America.
Frank Guidry is a smooth operator and loyal lieutenant to Carlos Marcello, the mob boss of New Orleans. Within hours of JFK's assassination, it becomes clear to Frank that everybody is expendable and he may now be on that list. He did a small errand for Marcello and now it looks like that errand might tie him, thus Marcello, to the assassination. Frank realizes that he is being set up to end up dead, so he goes on the run, covering his tracks as best as he can. Frank decides he needs to head to Los Vegas where he knows a man who hates Marcello and might help him.
Along the way Frank meets another person on the run. Charlotte Roy has packed up her two girls and the dog in the car, leaving her drunken husband Dooley, and Woodrow, Oklahoma behind. Charlotte can't take another stifling day of her existence in the small Oklahoma town and hopes to make it to California. Charlotte and Frank find themselves staying at the same motel after her car breaks down in New Mexico. Posing as an insurance salesman, Frank convinces Charlotte to travel with him to Los Vegas, where he knows a man who can give her a new car.
The two make a connection with each other. Both are trying to escape, but they also see part of what the other wants. Charlotte sees a strong, kind man, while Frank sees a determined, smart woman. Both of them want a new life. What Frank knows and Charlotte doesn't, is that a ruthless killer, Paul Barone, is looking for him and traveling with her and the girls might get him off Frank trail.
The writing in this novel is absolutely exceptional and perfectly presented. The pacing is outstanding and the writing and storytelling will keep you glued to the pages. This is a brilliant just-one-more-chapter novel. The narrative alternates between the point-of-view of three characters, Frank, Charlotte, and Barone. As the tension keeps rising incrementally, it soon becomes impossible to set this story aside. You have to keep reading to find out what happens next. And you will be invested in these characters and what happens to them.
The character development in November Road is impressive and memorable. Berney gets into the heart of his characters, exposing their flaws, but also their dreams and goals. These characters all go through a transformation and growth. Barone, the killer, is a cruel and cold hearted as you would expect and the thought of him coming after anyone will send a shiver down your spine. Along with the great character development, the historical setting is perfectly captured. There is a play list of music in the novel included at the end of the novel for anyone who wants to listen to the songs in the novel.
Disclosure: I received a copy of this book from HarperCollins for a review with TLC Book Tours.

U.S. Suspends Military Anthrax Vaccination Program
The U.S. Defense Department last week announced that it would temporarily suspend its anthrax vaccination program, according to the New York Times (see GSN, Dec. 3).
The Pentagon's decision followed a recent U.S. federal court ruling that military personnel cannot be forced to take the vaccine, the Times reported. Last Monday, Judge Emmett Sullivan of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia issued a preliminary injunction preventing the Pentagon from "inoculating service members without their consent" and ruled that the vaccine used by the Pentagon was "an investigational drug" being used for an unapproved purpose. Sullivan agreed with arguments that the vaccine had only been licensed to prevent the skin form of anthrax, not inhalational anthrax, the Times reported (Thom Shanker, New York Times, Dec. 24).
According to Assistant Defense Secretary William Winkenwerder, the judge's ruling came in response to a lawsuit filed in March by six anonymous service members. During a Dec. 23 Pentagon press briefing, Winkenwerder defended the anthrax vaccine.
"The anthrax vaccine is safe and effective, and it's been licensed by the FDA since 1970. The Department of Defense has always complied with, and will continue to comply with all FDA requirements in its use of the anthrax vaccine," he said.
Winkenwerder cited a March 2002 Institute of Medicine report, which said that the current anthrax vaccine is effective for preventing anthrax, including inhalational anthrax, in humans. He also countered Sullivan's claim that the current vaccine had not been approved for use to prevent inhalational anthrax, saying, "it's a licensed product against all forms of anthrax."
"In summary, this court ruling is not supported by medical science or by medical facts. It challenges the conclusions of America's best medical experts," Winkenwerder said (U.S. Defense Department release, Dec. 23).
On Wednesday, the U.S. Justice Department filed a motion requesting that Sullivan withdraw his preliminary injunction against the Pentagon's anthrax vaccination program, or to agree to limit the injunction to only the six plaintiffs in the March lawsuit, according to the New York Times.
The motion asks for a clarification as to whether the injunction only applies to the six plaintiffs. If not, then it asks that Sullivan reconsider the injunction because the suit was not filed on behalf of all U.S. military personnel, the Times reported.
"Plaintiffs never pursued this case as a class action," the motion says. "An award of preliminary injunctive relief to anyone other than the six Doe plaintiffs before the court would be wholly without justification," it says.
Mark Zaid, one of the plaintiffs' lawyers who provided a copy of the motion to the Times, said that while the motion was "understandable from the legal standpoint," it was "completely absurd from a policy standpoint."
"The vaccine as being used is experimental in nature and therefore unlawful unless informed consent is given," Zaid said. "So to argue that this decision should only apply to those six individuals does a real injustice," he said (Thom Shanker, New York Times, Dec. 27).
Judge rules Pentagon can not force military to take vaccine.
BY LAURI HARVEY
The Pentagon must stop forcing members of the military to take the anthrax vaccine against their will, unless President Bush signs a special order, a judge ruled Monday.
Department of Defense officials argued that refusing the shots puts other service members at risk.
Six plaintiffs working for the military in sworn and civilian positions filed a class action suit in May after being ordered to take the vaccine. Three obeyed the order and three did not.
The news of Monday's court ruling came to Moses Lacy of Lynwood as his family prepared to face its first Christmas since his daughter Rachael's death this spring. A coroner ruled the anthrax shots were contributing factors in the U.S. Army Reservist's death, and the Pentagon announced last month that the vaccines may have caused her death.
"That is the best Christmas present a person can have," Moses Lacy said. "I'm touched."
Rachael Lacy, 22, died in April after receiving the vaccination, along with a smallpox inoculation.
She made no attempt to refuse the vaccines, but others who have faced the consequences. Military records show some half a million service members have received the vaccine since they became mandatory in 1998.
Some servicemen and women have faced disciplinary action, even courts-marshal, for refusing the shots. Because the program is administered by military commanders -- not doctors -- refusing the shots was considered refusing an order.
Maj. Thomas "Buzz" Rempfer, of the Connecticut Air National Guard, refused to take the vaccine in 1998 and was subsequently grounded. He has been a strong voice in the fight against requiring the inoculations.
Rempfer -- speaking on his personal opinions and not on behalf of the military -- praised Monday's decision.
"The legislation that will naturally follow from this federal court decision will hopefully be enacted in memory of U.S. Army Reserve Specialist Rachael Lacy," Rempfer said. "Her ultimate sacrifice will set a precedent where our (Department of Defense) will never again be allowed to knowingly and illegally experiment on our soldiers."
Monday's decision is a preliminary injunction requested by the military personnel as part of its suit.
The risk of anthrax exposures to service members was feared to have been from anthrax weapons the military believed were being produced by Iraq and other nations.
Critics have argued for years that the vaccines were never given proper Food and Drug Administration approval for use in fighting inhalation anthrax. The Pentagon contends the vaccine is safe and effective for all forms of anthrax.
U.S. District Court Judge Emmet G. Sullivan said in his ruling Monday that the rate of adverse reaction to the vaccine was recently revised from 0.2 percent to between 5 percent and 35 percent. Six deaths have been attributed to the shots, he said.
Sullivan said the anthrax vaccinations fall under a 1998 law prohibiting the use of certain experimental drugs unless people being given the drug consent or the president waives the consent requirement.
"The women and men of our armed forces put their lives on the line every day to preserve and safeguard the freedoms that all Americans cherish and enjoy," Sullivan said in his ruling. "Absent an informed consent or presidential waiver, the United States cannot demand that members of the armed forces also serve as guinea pigs with experimental drugs."
The Pentagon had no immediate comment.
Moses Lacy said Monday that the judge's ruling echoed the sentiments he has had about the drug since Rachael's death.
"That's what I've been saying all along, that they shouldn't be giving it without informed consent," he said.
Rachael Lacy was studying to be a nurse when she was called to active duty in February. The South Suburban College student worked at a Lansing pizzeria and was a member of the 452 Combat Surgical Hospital unit out of Milwaukee, where she served as a combat medic.
Her unit arrived at Fort McCoy, Wis., on Feb. 27 to prepare for deployment to the Middle East.
She received the smallpox and anthrax vaccines along with the other soldiers in her unit within the week. Rachael began feeling ill March 17, and she went to a local emergency hospital in Sparta, Wis., about seven miles from Fort McCoy.
The doctors there began giving Rachael antibiotics, thinking she had pneumonia. She was then referred and admitted to a hospital in LaCrosse, Wis. When Rachael's condition did not improve, she was sent to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn., on April 2.
She died there three days later.
The official cause of death noted on the death certificate is diffuse alveolar damage, meaning widespread damage to the sacks of the lungs.
Contributing conditions listed on the death certificate included, "recent smallpox and anthrax vaccination."
Moses Lacy said he found "a great deal of comfort" in the judge's ruling Monday and felt his daughter's death contributed to the outcome.
"If it had not been for my daughter Rachael's passing, I think it would have continued," he said. "Nobody would have taken a good look at it.
"Certainly there have been other young men and women who have died and become ill (as a result of the vaccines), but I think my daughter's death was the spearhead that brought this to where it is right now. Although it will not bring her back, I think it should be in her honor."

Mandatory anthrax shots stir health fears, sap morale
Ohio National Guardsman Kurt Hickman expected to head to Iraq or Afghanistan after getting a call-up notice days before Thanksgiving. Instead, his more likely destination is a jail cell. Hickman, 20, faces trial Saturday for refusing a mandatory anthrax vaccine he fears isn't safe. More than 500 other soldiers already have received punishments ranging from demotions to court-martials for refusing required anthrax shots.
The Pentagon says vaccines are essential to protect soldiers' health — particularly from anthrax in Iraq, which developed biological agents. But that doesn't trump the Defense Department's equal obligation to investigate and weigh potential problems.
Instead, it clings to its policy of mandatory vaccinations, even as other countries are moving toward voluntary programs with successful results. The dug-in U.S. position forces concerned soldiers to choose between possibly endangering their health and ending their military service at a time when troop strength already is stretched.
Concerns fall into two categories:
Safety. According to a 2002 survey by the General Accounting Office (GAO), the investigative arm of Congress, 84% of the Air Force Reserve and National Guard troops who received anthrax vaccines since they became mandatory in 1998 had reactions. They included difficulty breathing, muscle aches, headaches and dizziness.
The Pentagon acknowledges that the death of reservist Rachel Lacy, 22, last April may have resulted from an anthrax vaccine. Veterans' groups; the National Vaccine Information Center, a public awareness group; and some members of Congress are calling for better research to determine whether more than 10 other deaths and hundreds of illnesses, from pneumonia to blood clots, may be linked to the vaccines.
Morale. The GAO said concern about mandatory anthrax shots was the main reason cited by two thirds of pilots and crew who left Air Force guard and reserve units from 1998 to 2000. After then vaccines were curtailed for two years because of shortages. Yet the Pentagon increasingly relies on these forces to relieve regular troops. Recruiters fear long tours of duty may drive many reservists away; mandatory shots are an added worry. The Army Reserve already missed a retention goal by 6.7% this year.
The Pentagon insists its vaccinations are safe. And for most people, they are.
But they aren't risk-free. Last year, the Food and Drug Administration warned that 5% to 35% of those who get shots could experience any of 40 side effects. About 6% of reactions can cause death, hospitalization or permanent disability.
Those risks, combined with the U.S. military's failure to find any biological weapons in Iraq so far, make a strong argument for a moratorium on mandatory vaccines — at least while two safer anthrax vaccines are being developed.
Britain, with the most troops in Iraq after the U.S., made the anthrax vaccine voluntary this year. Since then, more than half of its soldiers have refused the shots. Australia, which also has troops in Iraq, has a voluntary anthrax vaccination policy as well.
By giving soldiers a choice about receiving vaccines as more studies on the health hazards are conducted, the Pentagon could ensure that soldiers like Hickman serve time where they're needed most.
Demolished: The Myth That Allows Drugs Giants to Sell More
lndependent/UK
by Steve Connor
For years, the drugs industry has grown fat on a myth - the false belief that all drugs will work on just about everybody.
That has essentially been the rationale for a culture that has encouraged doctors to prescribe first and ask questions later - at a cost to the NHS of £7.2bn a year in medicines.
Yet it has been an open secret within the drugs industry that most drugs do not work for most patients, a secret that has now been publicly aired for the first time by Allen Roses, the head of genetics at GlaxoSmithKline, Britain's biggest drugs company.
Dr Roses, an academic with a distinguished record in medical genetics, is used to speaking his mind, especially on the benefits of a revolutionary new approach to drug development called pharmacogenomics.
That is the science of applying the results of the human genome project to drug development. In essence, it means testing the DNA of patients in order to identify those for whom a particular drug will work - the "responders".
That would enable doctors to eliminate the "non responders" who, as a result, will at least not be given a drug that at best could be useless and at worst dangerous in terms of harmful side-effects.
In the past, drug companies have developed drugs aimed at the widest possible population. That was the most profitable strategy but one that ignored a basic fact in biology - people are different.
To emphasize the point, Dr Roses likes to quote Sir William Osler, a Canadian physician who in 1892 remarked: "If it were not for the great variability among individuals, medicine might as well be a science and not an art."
Bringing a new drug to market is an expensive business costing tens of millions of pounds. It takes place in a culture of maximum possible sales for maximum possible profit - a culture that does not like to broadcast the fact that most drugs don't work for most people.
Drug testing in patients involves three phases of increasingly complex clinical trials that must be successfully completed before the drug is approved by regulatory authorities such as the mighty US Food and Drug Administration.
But even when a drug has been approved in terms of safety and "efficacy" - whether it does what the label says it should do - few people realize just how poorly they perform in real life.
Dr Roses cited a study published three years ago by Brian Spear, a senior scientist at Abbott Laboratories, a medical diagnostics company in Chicago, on the efficacy rates of a range of different drugs.
It found that drugs vary enormously in terms of how well they work, with efficacy rates varying from as low as 25 per cent for cancer drugs to 80 per cent for painkillers.
For many drugs, however, the efficacy rates hover around 50 per cent or lower, meaning that, for most people, these drugs just don't work. As Dr Roses puts it: "The vast majority of drugs - more than 90 per cent - only work in 30 or 50 per cent of the people."
Dr Roses is one of the pioneers in a field of genetics that promises to help to identify those people who could benefit from a drug. It is called single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and it is a way of distinguishing the smallest possible genetic differences between individuals.
The use of SNPs has already led to the discovery, for instance, of a test to detect the 5 per cent of the population who inherit a predisposition to a potentially fatal side effect of an anti-HIV drug called abacavir.
Now it is possible to test HIV patients before the drug is given to them in order to weed out those patients who will suffer a severe adverse reaction - a violent rash on the body.
Scientists believe that SNPs can be used to test people not just for their vulnerability to a drug's side-effects, but also to whether it will work or not.
John Bell, the regius professor medicine at Oxford University, said that for pharmacogenomics to catch on, doctors will have to learn new ways of dealing with patients.
"One of the biggest obstacles is culture. We've all been taught to take the dose for a drug straight out of the British National Formulae and then if that doesn't work to add another drug to the prescription, and so on," Professor Bell said.
"So we can end up with lots of patients on four or more drugs where only one would do. This is a big cultural issue to overcome," he said.
Apart from the ethics of prescribing useless drugs to people who could be poisoned by them, there is also the question of costs to the NHS, which has seen a record 50 per cent increase in its drugs bill over the past three years.
As Bill Clarke, the executive vice president of research at Amersham, a British diagnostics company, said: "It's just not right to spend that amount of money on drugs that don't work." For the sake of a relatively cheap genetics test that can be carried out on the wider population of patients, it would be possible to target drugs more effectively and more safely, Dr Clarke said.
It could also lead to a revolution in the way drugs are tested, he said. If "responders" to a new drug can be identified easily, it will be possible to simplify the expensive phase 3 clinical trials which can involve thousand of people being followed over many years.
Dr Roses agreed: "You can pick out people who respond a lot to the drug, can you pick out people who do not respond at all to the drug and can you pick out people who are sort of in the middle.
"By eliminating the people that we predict will be non-responders we'll be able to do smaller, faster and cheaper drug trials."
That could be the incentive that will lead to a change in the "one-drug-fits-all" culture of the drug industry, he said.
"I can't speak for other companies but I can tell you absolutely for sure that there is a change in the culture of GSK," Dr Roses said. And the advent of pharmacogenomics will not necessarily mean a fall in sales.
"If you can determine who is going to have a response [to a drug] and who is not going to have a response, you can take your next molecule and aim it specifically at the people who haven't had a response with the first one so that you can create a set of drugs that cover the population, and then you are back to selling to everybody," he said.
Trial approach
PHASE I: These first studies evaluate how a new drug or therapy should be given (by mouth, injection into the blood or injection into the muscle), how often, and what dose is safe. A phase I trial usually enrolls a small number of patients, sometimes as few as a dozen.
PHASE II: A phase II trial usually focuses on one type of illness, continuing to test the safety of treatment and beginning to evaluate how well it works. This is the essential intermediate step that will determine whether the drug will go into bigger and more costly phase III trials.
PHASE III: These studies test a new drug, a new combination of drugs or a new therapy in comparison to the current standard treatment. A participant will usually be assigned to the standard group or the new group at random (called randomization). Often it involves "double blind" trials, where neither the patient nor doctor knows who is being given the new drug. Phase III trials often enroll large numbers of people and may be conducted at many doctors' offices, clinics and cancer centers nationwide.
Injections Said to Hamper Bioterror Fight
By BILL BERGSTROM, AP
PHILADELPHIA (AP) - Coming up with medicines that can be given in a nasal spray or by slapping on a patch rather than injections would be a big help in developing and stockpiling vaccines against major bioterrorism threats, an official involved in the government's Project Bioshield said Sunday. Trying to prepare and administer injections to the entire populations of even just major urban areas would be unwieldy and impractical, Dr. Philip K. Russell said in a talk wrapping up a meeting of the American Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene in Philadelphia.
"That could crush the public health structure, if you needed a multi-dose vaccine," said Russell, an official in Health and Human Services Department's Office of Public Health and Preparedness.
As director of the department's Office of Research and Development, Russell is a senior adviser on vaccine development and production, the goal of the proposed $5.6 billion federal Bioshield Act, now pending in the Senate. Russell said officials hope for passage of the act early next year.
Meanwhile, the program has already taken its first steps, he said. The National Institutes of Health has so far awarded two contracts for development of a second-generation anthrax vaccine, to VaxGen Inc. in San Francisco and to Avecia in England.
Biotechnology companies have been seeking a more effective anthrax vaccine since the 2001 anthrax mail attacks that killed five people, because the only vaccine now approved requires six shots over 18 months, plus an annual booster, and can cause side effects.
In addition to trying to reduce the number of shots, scientists will discuss other ways of administering vaccines at a conference his department is coordinating Dec. 18 and 19 in Rockville, Md., including jet injectors, transdermal patches and oral and nasal sprays.
Health officials also want to be sure vaccines being developed for Project Bioshield won't deteriorate in storage, Russell said.
"I don't want to put a lot of stuff in the stockpile that ends up being thrown away in a few years, and has to be replaced at a cost of hundreds of millions of dollars," said Russell, former director of the Army Medical Institute of Infectious Diseases and commander of the Army Medical Research and Development Command.
Arranging trials of new vaccines also will be time consuming, Russell said, adding that it isn't yet known when the first new vaccines might be delivered.


Which supermarket has the cheapest groceries?
We investigate prices at Coles, Woolworths, Aldi and IGA to see which chain offers the most savings.
Want to spend less at the checkout?
Australian grocery buyers spent $90 billion at supermarkets last year, despite growth in the overall market hitting a 20-year low. The CHOICE quarterly Consumer Pulse surveys consistently find that the cost of food and groceries is a significant concern for Australians. The most recent reported that 71% of Australians are worried about how much food and groceries cost, topped only by concerns about electricity, fuel and healthcare costs. And many had cut back on spending on essentials, including groceries.
With value for money being the top priority for consumers, we wrote a shopping list of 33 items, grabbed our green bags and hit the supermarkets to find where the biggest bargains can be had.
It probably comes as no surprise that Aldi wins the gong yet again for cheapest groceries.
Our basket of leading brand products cost on average $170.54 at Coles and $168.74 at Woolworths (excluding specials), while a comparable basket of Aldi brand products ($102.50, excluding specials) offered savings of about $66-$68 (49-50%), assuming you're prepared to forgo leading brands. And by switching to even more budget options where available, you can save as much as 59% when buying your groceries from Aldi, rather than shopping for leading brands at Coles and Woolworths.
Intensive price monitoring between the duopoly means that grocery prices at both chains are very closely matched. Just $1.80 (1%) separated the regular prices of our leading brand basket at Coles and Woolworths, although if you include the savings from specials at the time of our shop, our basket ended up $2.85 (almost 2%) cheaper at Coles.
The most expensive place to shop is at independent chain IGA, which charged 5-7% more than Coles and Woolworths for an identical basket of leading brand items. If you include specials, however, the IGA basket price was on par with the regular basket price (excluding specials) at the major chains – a testament to IGA's 'price match promise'.
Switching to supermarket brand – private label, in industry-speak – groceries at Coles and Woolworths can offer significant savings. Compared to our leading brand basket, the equivalent Coles or Woolworths brand basket was 40% cheaper.
At $102.50, the Aldi brand basket was still cheapest, however. The basket of supermarket brand groceries cost on average $112.89 at Woolworths and $113.10 at Coles (excluding specials) – both approximately 10% more than at Aldi.
Supermarket brand groceries account for an estimated 20-25% of grocery sales in Australia, according to industry analysts.
And the reputation of supermarket brands continues to improve. Almost three in five (58%) Australian shoppers say the quality of private-label is "just as good as brands" – up from just 32% in 2011, market research group Nielsen reports. The fact that supermarket brand products (from Aldi and Coles) won almost half of the categories in the consumer-voted 'Product of the year' awards in February is further proof of this.
When shopping, keep an eye out for what have been coined 'phantom brands', essentially supermarket brands in disguise. Woolworths has introduced a number of these phantom brands in stores, a few of which (Clean brand laundry detergent, Balnea brand hand wash and Hillview brand cheese) appear in our grocery baskets.
It's suggested that by impersonating a branded item, phantom brands can help counter the lingering perception, of some customers, that supermarket brands are of lower quality. It's an interesting strategy, but not without risks. A phantom brand product may be good quality and value for money, but if customers discover they're buying a supermarket-owned product when they thought they were purchasing and supporting an independent brand, they might just end up feeling duped.
Another thing you may want to consider is that while choosing supermarket brands over leading brands in Coles and Woolies can save you money, there may be a hidden cost. An increase in private label brands can impact on choice in the long run as smaller or niche brands are squeezed off supermarket shelves. You can read more about the issue of disappearing brands in our supermarket special investigation.
Even further savings can be had by switching to budget-tier supermarket brand items, such as Smart Buy from Coles and Homebrand from Woolworths, although the quality and 'look and feel' of the items may not be directly comparable to that of leading brands.
We took our supermarket brand baskets and substituted items for budget versions where they were available. Smart Buy instead of Coles brand cling wrap, for example, or Homebrand rather than Woolworths Select frozen peas. We found budget versions for nine of our basket items at Aldi, 11 at Coles and 15 at Woolworths.
Aldi still left you with more change in your pocket, but the price difference between its budget basket ($91.76 excluding specials) and the budget baskets at Coles ($99.40) and Woolworths ($97.31) was just 6-8% – good news for frugal shoppers without an Aldi in the neighbourhood.
Average price of grocery basket – retailers compared: click here for an accessible text-only version of this infographic.
Although more than 90% of the groceries sold at Aldi are under its own exclusive brands, it does stock a selection of leading brand items, including seven of the items in our leading brand basket – Cadbury chocolate, Streets Blue Ribbon ice cream, Arnott's Tim Tams, Coca-Cola, Moccona coffee, Cobram Estate olive oil and Kleenex tissues.
Buying these seven items would set you back $41.75 at Coles and $42.83 at Woolworths (excluding specials), but the same items at Aldi cost just $33.15, a saving of at least 23%. So while its range of leading brands is limited, if you're shopping at Aldi and the brands that you normally buy elsewhere are in stock, it's worth picking them up.
In the 2016 financial year, heavy discounting led to the supermarkets sector growing at its slowest rate in 20 years, according to UBS analysts.
Recent media commentary indicated that Coles is reducing the number of price promotions – or specials – and is instead focusing on a strategy of everyday low prices, 'because price promotions breed distrust'. It now has more than 4000 'every day value' lines.
Woolworths also says it's reducing its reliance on promotions in favour of lower shelf prices, and has more than 1500 products on its 'price dropped' program.
While there are minimal price promotions on supermarket brand items, it still pays to shop around for leading brand items – we saved $15.56 (9%) at Coles and $10.94 (6%) at Woolworths on our leading brand basket, taking the effect of specials into account. But it's worth looking critically at specials and multi-buy offers to check that they're really saving you money, and using unit pricing to ensure you're getting the best deal.
Supermarket giants Woolworths and Coles currently rake in almost 70% of the $90.3bn grocery market share between them, according to a 2017 analysis by Roy Morgan Research. But with the seemingly relentless growth of Aldi (it now has more than 400 stores and a little over 13% share in the grocery market, up about 3% from when we last reported on supermarket prices in 2015) there's a lot resting on the duopoly getting their pricing strategy right.

A number of our grocery basket items this year are the same as those we priced in our 2015 and 2009 surveys, so we've compared the average prices of these items to see how much they've changed.
The current rate of food inflation at 1.8% may be running below the general inflation rate of 2.1% (quarter one of 2017), but our survey found some packaged grocery prices have risen well above this.
Of interest is the significantly lower average price of bananas compared with that in previous surveys. Bananas are grown year-round, so bumper crops around the time of our survey in March this year might be contributing to the bargain prices at the checkout.
Some may be disappointed that we're now paying more for Arnott's Tim Tams, but at least they can rejoice over the fact that the price of perennial favourite Cadbury Dairy Milk chocolate has remained the same.
The changing price of grocery items over time: click here for an accessible text-only version of this infographic.
In our 2015 survey we found that where you live can impact how much you pay at the supermarket, with those living in NT and WA paying a premium, and shoppers in the eastern states pocketing the most change from their weekly shop.
Aldi's expansion into SA and WA, offering greater competition to Coles and Woolworths in those states, appears to have had an impact on prices there, with these states delivering the cheapest average basket prices in 2017. Tasmanian residents on the other hand paid a premium for their groceries, as did residents of Queensland and NT. The higher prices in Tasmania and NT can perhaps be explained by a higher cost of goods (due to greater transport costs and reduced economies of scale) and a less competitive environment – after all, neither of these states has Aldi.
Interestingly when we compared the average basket prices at Coles and Woolworths between capital cities and regional areas nationally, the difference was less than $1. But the average basket price at IGAs in capital cities was almost $10 more than at regional IGA stores.
Average price of grocery baskets per state: click here for an accessible text-only version of this infographic.
Almost 30% of Australian grocery shoppers say they'd consider doing their grocery shopping online, but only 3% actually do so, according to Roy Morgan Research. But this could all change when high-speed grocery delivery service AmazonFresh hits Australian shores. It will be interesting to see the impact its had on the supermarket landscape, if any, when we next survey grocery prices.
For the biggest savings and in the absence of a nearby Aldi, shopping around for specials and choosing supermarket brands over leading brands can make a significant difference to your grocery bills.
A resounding 91% of respondents in our latest Consumer Pulse survey told us that buying Australian products was important to them.
Coles and Woolworths report that 96% of their fruit and veg is Australian sourced – for Aldi that figure is 91% – and certainly all the fresh fruit and veg that we priced was grown in Australia. But supermarkets aren't so forthcoming about what proportion of their own brand packaged food is locally sourced.
To get a rough idea, we looked at the country of origin statements for all the food items in our survey, to see which supermarket basket offers the most in the way of Australian produce.
Sadly the labelling provided little clarity around the source of some or all of the ingredients in many cases – just two products, both from Coles, displayed the new country of origin labels. But if you want a basket with as many Australian ingredients as possible, and the least amount of non-Australian products, then – for our shopping list at least – you're probably better off buying leading brands, or the equivalent Coles and Woolworths brand products. You end up with fewer items made from Australian ingredients if you substitute cheaper Coles and Woolworths brand items or shop at Aldi.
Country of origin – grocery baskets compared: click here for an accessible text-only version of this infographic.
Private label/supermarket brands are those manufactured by another company but sold under the supermarket's own brands, and include the brands Coles, Woolworths Select or Aldi's bespoke brands.
Leading brands are those with one of the highest grocery value shares within that product category according to the 2015 Retail World Annual Report.
Supermarkets and locations. We sent undercover shoppers into 110 supermarkets – 32 Coles, 32 Woolworths, 26 Aldi and 20 IGA stores – in 33 locations across Australia in March. Supermarket locations were chosen to give good coverage of socio-economic status and geographic spread across the country. We surveyed supermarkets in clusters so that each store has local competition.
Grocery basket items. Our full grocery basket consisted of 33 items, 28 of which were packaged products, either leading brand or comparable supermarket brand/budget brand options (including beef mince, chicken breast fillets and eggs), with five fresh fruit and veg items (apples, bananas, broccoli, carrots and potatoes) completing the list. Due to item availability a smaller but identical basket of 25 packaged leading brand items was used for the IGA comparison. In total our shoppers collected price data for 77 different grocery items.
For more details on how we chose the locations and selected the basket items see How we survey supermarket grocery prices.


Prior to today, you could pre-order the Microsoft Surface Go tablet from the usual suspects like the Microsoft Store, Best Buy and B&H. Conspicuously absent from the list was Amazon, but that has now changed. Starting today, you can reserve the slate from Amazon while Amazon Spain is offering a 25% discount (in Euros) on the highest priced model.
The tablets start shipping on August 2nd. Amazon's website in Spain has a 25% discount on the model with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD storage. Instead of being priced at 599 EUR, the discount drops the price to 449 EUR ($524 USD). However, in exchange for what turns out to be less than a 5% price cut in dollar terms, you will have to wait until August 28th for Amazon Spain to ship the device (see the image at the top of this story).
The Surface Go is equipped with a 10-inch screen, carrying a resolution of 1800 x 1200. Under the hood you'll find a dual-core 1.6GHz Pentium processor, and the camera combo from back to front weighs in at 8MP and 5MP. Not only is there a fast-charging Surface Connect port, there is also one for a USB-Type C connector. The battery lasts for up to 9 hours, and the tablet runs Windows 10 Home in S Mode.

How much actual user space is available on the 64gb? Starting storage on a windows device should be 128gb.
I think it would have around 40-45 but I'm only guessing, probably won't know until reviews are out.
Hard to say. One thing is a fresh device and another is few cumulative updates later ... or even anniversary update later. Yeah 64GB on Windows and especialy eMMC is a pain to use. It can be done, I even tryed 32GB eMMC Win tablets, but it is a painful experience.

The newest local bike trail, the South Omaha trail, connects with the Field Club trail near an old grain elevator. The elevator has been decorated a few times, the last being with some huge murals that I posted about here. I was sad when they took the murals down. During a walk last month I noticed some new art on the elevator. Professional street art has been painted on some of the silos near where the two trails meet.

Cancer Survivors May Have Lower Odds for Dementia
FRIDAY, June 21, 2019 (HealthDay News) -- Researchers have found more evidence of a puzzling phenomenon: Older adults who survive cancer seem to be somewhat protected against dementia.
A number of studies in recent years have found that cancer survivors have a relatively lower risk of developing Alzheimer's.
The new research adds another layer. It shows that even before their diagnosis, older adults who go on to develop cancer have an edge when it comes to memory performance.
Among the older Americans who were tracked for 16 years, those who developed cancer typically had sharper memory skills -- both before and after the diagnosis -- than those who remained cancer-free.
Researchers said it all supports the theory that some of the biological processes that contribute to cancer may actually protect against dementia.
But the big remaining question is, what are those mechanisms?
"We're really interested in understanding what [they] could be, because it might point the way to strategies to prevent dementia," said senior researcher Maria Glymour, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine.
The study findings are based on more than 14,500 U.S. adults born before 1949. Between 1998 and 2014, they underwent periodic tests of memory function. During that time, 2,250 were newly diagnosed with cancer.
On average, the study found, the people with cancer consistently performed better on memory tests. In the decade before the cancer diagnosis, their memory declined at a 10.5% slower rate than their counterparts who remained cancer-free.
After the diagnosis, cancer patients did typically see a sudden worsening in their memory for a short time. But afterward, their rate of memory decline continued at the same pace as before the diagnosis -- which meant they maintained an advantage over cancer-free older adults.
There are theories as to why the pattern exists: Some of the mechanisms that allow cancer cells to grow and spread may, in the brain, protect cells from dying.
Glymour's team points to the example of an enzyme called PIN1: Its activity is enhanced in cancer, but decreased in Alzheimer's. Among other roles, the enzyme is thought to help prevent the buildup of abnormal proteins in the brain that are the hallmark of Alzheimer's.
But there is a lot of work to do before all the pieces can be put together, according to Glymour. One question is whether only certain cancer types are connected to a lower risk of memory decline and dementia.
In past studies, the link has been surprisingly consistent among different cancers, Glymour noted. "But," she said, "we think that might just be because there were not enough cases of different types of cancer to detect the differences."
If larger studies do show that only certain cancers are tied to slower memory decline, Glymour noted, that could give clues about the underlying reasons.
Dr. Olivia Okereke is director of geriatric psychiatry at Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. She said the association between cancer and a lower risk of Alzheimer's is puzzling and "sounds counterintuitive" -- since cancer, and some cancer treatments, can actually take a toll on mental skills such as attention, information-processing and short-term memory.
"But these associations have been noted in studies for years now," said Okereke, who wrote an editorial accompanying the research. Both were published June 21 online in JAMA Network Open.
She called the new study a "very useful contribution," because it shows the memory advantage exists before people ever develop cancer, then persists afterward.
That, Okereke said, suggests that "common underlying mechanisms" might contribute to cancer while protecting brain cells.
"But we need more research to elucidate those mechanisms," she added.
The U.S. National Institute on Aging has more on the causes of Alzheimer's.

BOOK TWO
MORE SERIOUS STUFF
NEVER TELL A HERMIT CRAB WE CAN'T REPAIR THE WORLD
A book all about peace and kindness, reconnection and love. A story to be embraced by all ages, with all proceeds going towards helping seniors and students.
A Message from Daniel
Our world is a weird and challenging place, full of dragons to slay and politicians to hide from. Any given day, we are beset by difficulties and oppression, despair and dark warnings. In short, it's a fun planet we got.
There are many ways to approach things. There is humor. There is therapy. There is "the extended vacation." And my favorite, the incomprehensible rant. My suggestion is you try all four...often...with abandon...and maybe some chocolate.
As a decades-long survivor of anxiety and depression, I have learned many things. Chief among them is one basic idea: We are all in this together. We need each other. We grow by knowing one another. We survive by leaning on those in our orbit.
This site includes an overview of all that. It includes parts of my "MILO K., hermit crab" comic strip and books, and it offers links to a few of my articles about depression and anxiety. This is just a sampling, a taste, a smattering of what I do and have done. There is much more on its way. (Check out my Twitter and Facebook accounts if you don't believe me.)
If nothing else, I hope it brings you a site to visit.
A LITTLE ABOUT DANIEL
Daniel Sean Kaye was raised from birth by a colony of hermit crabs. Strangely enough, this has nothing to do with the books. Begun as a comic strip, "MILO K., hermit crab," which ran for 10 years in a series of weekly newspapers in Montgomery County, PA, the entire concept was exhausted by year two. Many moons later, under a legal agreement with the state of Maine, Kaye was forced to write and illustrate these books.
Among other things, Kaye is the former editor of House & Home magazine, Parents Express magazine and The Art of Living Well magazine. He wrote the "Dadography" parenting column, is still a staff writer for a bunch of other places, and is Director of Life Enrichment at Rydal Park Continuing Care Retirement Community. He is on the Abington School Board, Abington Community Taskforce, Citizens and Police Together, and the Montgomery County Taskforce for Suicide Prevention.
He lives with his patient wife, Wendy, his odd son, Aidan, two cats, a one-eyed dog, two frogs, and two snails.
Thanks for submitting! I'll get back to you as soon as humanly possible!

How about we begin with a definition. What is gambling? Gambling is betting on something that might happen later on. When we bet, we go for broke, pick a questionable result, and wager on it. Card sharks wager on casino games, horse dashing, and sports where the outcome can't be anticipated with sureness. A few individuals will wager on anything. Keep in mind the Seinfeld scene where Kramer wager on the entry and flight times of planes at a New York City air terminal?
How is gambling not quite the same as purchasing stocks and bonds? Stocks and bonds are considered ventures and not bets on the grounds that we can sensibly hope to end up as a winner over the long haul. They might be hazardous however not in the same sense as gambling.
How is gambling not the same as purchasing protection? When we purchase protection, we are betting on something that could conceivably happen later on. We would prefer not to go out on a limb that it will happen, so we pay another person (the insurance agency) to go out on a limb for us. When we purchase property holder's protection, for instance, we are betting our home will burn to the ground and the insurance agency is betting it won't. (Obviously we trust we won't win this wager.) This isn't gambling on the grounds that the danger can be figured. The insurance agency utilizes a wide range of measurements to break down the likelihood of our home burning to the ground and settles the premium we will pay in like manner.
Individuals have bet since old times. Nonetheless, society never affirmed of it in light of the fact that it was marked an endeavor to get cash without working for it. Society trusted that diligent work ought to prepare to money related achievement. It wasn't until the late 1960s that states (aside from Nevada which had legitimized all types of gambling prior) began to run lotteries to raise cash for beneficial motivations.
So why do we bet despite the fact that we are unrealistic to win over the long haul? We bet for the fervor of the unverifiable result. Some bet to attempt to make their budgetary dreams work out as expected. A few individuals bet for stimulation or happiness, for example, a night out with companions at the casino or a bingo diversion for a beneficent association or a lottery ticket. Some think they can beat the chances and bring home the bacon out of gambling. There are individuals who bet in light of the fact that they essentially cherish the test. They take a gander at gambling as a round of aptitude or critical thinking and they are certain they can win. Some like nature or the rush of a conceivable huge win, or the adrenaline surge of taking a risk. Casinos permit us to mingle and hang loose. There are no checks in a casino; we forget about time; we overlook every one of our inconveniences. It's similar to a treatment session! In the event that we are meek, we can go to a casino and intensely take risks.
Periodic gambling might be an unwinding type of stimulation yet be mindful so as not to get dependent. Compulsion might prompt fixation. You might lose control and turn out to be fanatical to the point that you can destroy you life or endure other calamitous outcomes. So in the event that you bet, make certain as far as possible and keep as far as possible you have set.


Southsure started as a specialist life insurance company providing life and disability insurance exclusively to SBS Bank.
Our focus has always been on providing an advice-based service for our customers while keeping premiums as low as we can.
Demand for our services among SBS customers quickly grew and we formed a partnership with Lumley, (a business division of IAG New Zealand Limited) to provide car, house, contents and boat insurance too.
The addition of travel insurance rounded out our 'everyday insurance offer' thanks to our partnership with Comprehensive Travel Insurance (2004) Limited and Allianz Australia Insurance Limited.
Today, every New Zealander can access personal insurance through Southsure directly, and benefit from our friendly advice-based service.
We've also formed distribution partnerships around New Zealand and provide consumer credit insurance through retailers such as Smiths City and selected financial intermediaries such as SBS Bank subdsidiary Finance Now.
In April 2014, Southsure invested in Abbott Group, an insurance brokerage with offices in Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch and Dunedin. Abbott Group specialises in business insurance and provides a complementary commercial insurance arm to Southsure's offer.
So if you have an idea or an insurance need for your business, talk to us. We're small enough to be flexible and large enough to deliver.

Steve Cichon is a proud Buffalonian helping the world experience the city he loves. writing about the people, places, and ideas that make Buffalo unique and special.

Looking back at 200 years of Amherst
2018 marks Amherst's bicentennial year, and together we'll look back through the town's history with 75 images, some dating back as far as the 1850s– but some as recently as the 1980s, looking back at some of the places and institutions which we fondly remember– like department stores and car dealers– which aren't here anymore.
New: The History of Buffalo's Beer Culture
Buffalo was literally built on the promise of free booze, one of our drinking districts was the most infamous in the entire world, our mayor was fined for violating Prohibition laws, every neighborhood and ethnicity had a brewery– and now a new crop of microbreweries are part of Buffalo's future.
Buffalo Pop Culture historian Steve Cichon looks at beer and the roll it's played in our past– and the role that past is playing in our future.
New: Four Common Sense Steps to Writing Your Own (Book, Memoir, Family History…)
The old adage says we all have a book in us, and it's true—although sometimes it doesn't feel that way when you're staring at a blank page not knowing where to start.
As the author of five books and award-winning journalist with thousands of newscasts and articles written, Steve Cichon understands the sometimes elusive nature of trying to craft the thoughts in your head and the feelings in your heart into words.
As an editor, adjunct communications professor, and radio news director, Steve Cichon has helped hundreds of people get better at taking what they see, hear, and feel, and turning it all into ideas and words to share with the world. The great news is… we all have the skills and abilities necessary to be able to write something great—it's just a matter of putting them all together in the way that turns you into an author.
Steve's handful of easy techniques build on the writing skills we already have, no matter your assumed level of competence or aptitude. The focus in this fun workshop is less about rules and grammar, but more about using common sense to help you find your unique voice and share it more easily in four outstanding steps:
Outpouring- getting it all out through prolonged brainstorming
Outreach- researching facts (best practices in internet and local library research, and what you can expect to find there) and talking to others (how to get the most out of interviews and talking to people.
Outline- once you have your raw materials assembled, it's time to start understanding what you have, how it all relates into one or two overall themes, and putting it all together in a way that will make sense for a reader.
Bang it Out– While the best time to write is when you feel inspired to do so, having all your ideas organized and ready to go, helps keep that light lit… and it's off to the races.
New: Grover Cleveland's Buffalo
Many Buffalonians know that Grover Cleveland was mayor of Buffalo before moving on to become governor of New York and president of the United States. Other than that, we don't have much to say about the man who lived here for 27 years practicing law and serving as sheriff and mayor.
Steve Cichon takes a look at the life and times of the fun-loving, beer-drinking, card playing bachelor who lived through the period that saw Buffalo grow from a frontier outpost to one of the nation's largest cities.
Like most of Buffalo's 1860s and 1870s landmarks, just about every known place Grover Cleveland lived or frequented is gone, but picturing these places in reference to what's there now, dispelling a few myths, and uncovering some fascinating truths help us understand our 22nd & 24th President, the old Buffalo, and the new Buffalo that much better.
New: The slow death of Humboldt Parkway and the building of the 33 & 198
"It was a dreadful mistake to build the Kensington Expressway."
While it makes for great speeches, it's difficult to boil the agonizing, slow, 25-year Humboldt Parkway destruction process and community debate into a single sentence, let alone just the word "mistake."
Steve Cichon looks at the beautiful, Frederick Law Olmsted designed Humboldt Parkway, the reasons behind the first 1946 plans which eventually became "The 33" and "The 198," and the messy, politics-filled 25 year ordeal between those initial sketches and the 1971 finishing of the highway.
New: Before there was Canalside…
Today, it's the latest, greatest Buffalo hangout: Canalside. Selfies with Shark Girl and Tim Horton, curling, riding ice bikes, and soaking up sun in colorful Adirondack chairs are all exciting new parts of what it means to be a Buffalonian in 2016.
While many say the rebirth of the inner harbor area is a long time in coming, it's at least the fourth or fifth time the area has been "reborn" since Buffalo's first non-native residents built huts along the northern shore of Little Buffalo Creek. That creek was excavated to form the Commercial Slip and Erie Canal terminus, which was filled in so the Aud could be built on it. Then the Aud was torn down and replaced with the Canalside skating rink.
Steve Cichon explores all the different yesterdays, today, and what the future might bring for our city's birthplace—the Inner Harbor.
New: WNY's Favorite Amusement Parks of Yesterday & Today
If you grew up in Western New York, places like Crystal Beach, Fantasy Island, and Darien Lake are firmly etched into the warm memories of being care-free kid in Western New York.
Steve Cichon looks at those parks that we all remember, as well as a handful of smaller fun places that used to dot every corner of our area– from the rides at Woodlawn Beach and Glen Park in the 40s and 50s, to the small "Kiddieland" parks which wound up in places like the parking lots of Twin Fair stores in Tonawanda and Cheektowaga, to parks which maybe our parents or grandparents might have told us about in Buffalo, West Seneca, and along the lakeshore.
We also take a look at the North Tonawanda's Allan Herschel Company, which for nearly a century was the world's largest manufacturer of amusement rides.
CROWD FAVORITE: 90 Years of Buffalo Radio & TV
WGR Radio signed on in Buffalo in 1922. In the over 90 years since then, the men and women who've come into our homes and cars through the power of Buffalo's radio and television stations have entertained us, given us the news, provided company for us, and been our friends.
Long time broadcaster, historian, and author Steve Cichon takes us on a fun multimedia journey through time, touching on the great stations, great personalities, and great memories which come back to life with his treasure trove of stories, images, videos and sound bites.
CROWD FAVORITE: Buffalo's Great Retailers
These days, the shopping malls and strip plazas of Western New York are filled with the same stores as similar structures around the country.
Historian and Author Steve Cichon takes us back to a fun and heart-warming time when not only did we have our own stores like AM&As, Sattlers, and Sample, but those grand department stores were lined up along city streets like Main, Broadway, and Hertel.
New: The Evolution of Hertel Avenue
Over the last 10 to 15 years, Hertel Avenue has cemented a reputation as the slightly less-crazy-but-still-just-as-fun older brother of the Elmwood strip. It was also the last of Buffalo's major streets to be built out, with some of the strip still retaining a rural feel into the 1920s.
Spending an afternoon or evening on Hertel drops you in the center of the cosmopolitan "New Buffalo," showcasing a perfect example of a diverse neighborhood that has retained the flavor and feel of its heritage, keeping bits of the old while the vibrant and new evolves. The result is a strong, proud, urban neighborhood filled with residents and entrepreneurs of every age and experience — all combining to reflect the best of our uniquely Buffalo character.
Steve Cichon takes a look at the past, present, and future of a place with a great vibe doesn't rely on cheap nostalgia, and where longtime venerable institutions have been rebuilt and reconfigured to fit our modern needs and make the past a living, breathing part of what's next.
Parkside, Buffalo, NY
From the Delaware Park meadow, to the Darwin Martin House, to the Buffalo Zoo, to the Frederick Law Olmsted designed streetscape, Buffalo's Parkside neighborhood has long been one of the city's most stable and attractive neighborhoods.
As a resident and author of The Complete History of Parkside, Steve Cichon keeps it fun and interesting, hitting on all the big attractions and many amazing stories you'll wind up repeating to your friends.
Irv, Rick, Tom
For more than three decades, Buffalonians turned to Eyewitness News at 6 & 11 for a uniquely Buffalo version of the day's events around the Queen City.
Steve Cichon, longtime Buffalo newsman, historian, and author of Irv! Buffalo's Anchorman: The Irv, Rick, & Tom Story, takes a fun look back at what made Eyewitness News so unique, and tells the unlikely separate stories of Irv Weinstein, Rick Azar, and Tom Jolls, and how they came together to form the longest running anchor team in TV news history.
Mayor James D. Griffin in Photos
James D. Griffin was the most commanding figure in Buffalo during the second half of the 20th century. He's best remembered for his "rough and tumble" nature and his advice to sit out snow storms by grabbing a six pack and staying home.
Steve Cichon takes a fun look at that side of the man, but the historian and author of Gimme Jimmy! Mayor James D. Griffin in his own Words and Pictures also examines the vast accomplishments of Buffalo's favorite mayor, with insights from his close friends and family.
Buffalo's Tomb of the Unknowns: The 1812 Mound in the Meadow
Three-Hundred American soldiers died during the harsh Buffalo winter of 1812 as they waited to invade British Canada. Those soldiers are buried in a mass, virtually unmarked grave in the middle of what is now the Delaware Park Golf Course. It's an incredible story too few people know about.
Author Steve Cichon has worked with several fellow historians in researching, preserving, and sharing this story of American bravery and sacrifice. He tells the story of these men and the efforts made through the years to commemorate and honor their ultimate sacrifice.
I'm ready to just show up and start speaking, or I can bring the entire array of necessary technical equipment to make an audio/visual presentation happen.
What I (usually) need:
– microphone/sound system
– ability to plug my laptop audio into the sound system (it's a standard mini headphone jack)
– laptop projector/cables
– screen or wall onto which I'll project
– Laptop with PowerPoint installed
– Presentation remote
I will bring my own laptop and presentation remote, but can also bring any of the equipment needed to make it all work…
– sound system/mic/cable to laptop/monitor
– portable screen
Don't worry about the technical part: we can figure it out together.
Let's tell some stories together!

The Genesis Record is a seminar for those who want to take a prophetic walk through the Book Of Genesis. The importance of this first book of the Bible is apparent in the fact that this is the book Jesus quoted from the most. This tells us that there are untapped keys and treasures for our life that will unlock divine connection and overflow. In this seminar, we learn what we call, "The Origins". Origins of the World were established in this book's timeline, and in a day and age where so many lines are being blurred, we must know the origins of His Word and the design that He set in place. In order to know where we are going, we must know where we started. Join us as we take a walk back in time, and establish solid foundation by learning how the Holy Spirit wrote and constructed this Book of Beginnings.

It was a wild night on RAW as several superstars made their return, and few left the company. Get your full Monday Night results here!
After an historic WrestleMania, the traditional Raw after Mania looks to double up on the surprises and changes across the WWE Universe.
We are kicking things off with the new WWE Universal champion Seth Rollins. The WWE crowd chants "You deserve it", to which Seth replies "We deserve it". Seth speaks on Brock and how he will be a fighting champion. The New Day's music hits and out comes WWE Champion Kofi Kingston and the New Day. Huge Kofi chant now. The New Day congratulate Seth on his win over Lesnar. Kofi goes on to say the women's Winner Take All match gave him an idea. How about he and Seth do the same. No Shield, no New Day. Just Seth vs Kofi, title for title. The crowd loves the idea, and Seth accepts the challenge for later tonight.
Result: Hawkins rolls up Dawson for the win and the champs retain.
Baron Corbin makes his way out next. He brags about defeating Kurt Angle. He goes too far and the Olympic hero makes his way out. Kurt takes out Corbin and celebrates in the ring as he says goodbye to the crowd. Suddenly, music hits and we see Lars Sullivan debut. The freak of nature makes his way to the ring and destroys Kurt Angle.
Result: Alexa returns to action with a pinfall win over Bayley.
After the break, Undisputed Women's champion, Becky Lynch makes her way out to huge cheers from the crowd. Becky speaks on what she's achieved, and the crowd shows her a lot of love. After Becky finishes, Lacey Evans comes out for her usual walk and even sucker punches Becky, but Becky is having none of it and attacks Lacey to huge cheers.
Backstage Seth warns Kofi about what he's getting into.
Result: Ricochet pins Gable and is attacked by Bobby Roode after the bell.
We get a mysterious video featuring a puppet of a buzzard in box. We hear laughter which sounds like Bray Wyatt.
Result: The match never gets started as Bobby and Lio beat down Dean and put him through the announcer table on the top of the stage.
Result: Sami makes an unsuccessful return to action losing to Finn. After the match, Sami gets on the mic and tells the fans this is a toxic environment because of them.
Elias goes on about how he's tired of people interrupting him to make a name for themselves. The next person who interrupts him is a dead man. On that cue, the original deadman's music hits. The Undertaker is here! After a long staredown, the dead man beats down Elias with his move set.
Result: After a competitive match, The Bar interferes and beats down both men. We have a tag team match now.
Result: Seth pins Cesaro after a stomp.
The champs stand tall to celebrate.
That's it for RAW, over to you Smackdown!
WWE Raw is live on SuperSport 4 in South Africa with the broadcast starting at 2:00 on 9th April. Subscription required.

Writing for the Court SHELDON
Citation 101 Ill. 467,1882 WL 10186
Decision Date 18 January 1882
Parties WILLIAM RHODE et al.v.MATTIE MCLEAN.
101 Ill. 467
1882 WL 10186 (Ill.)
WILLIAM RHODE et al.
MATTIE MCLEAN.
Supreme Court of Illinois.
Filed at Mt. Vernon Jan. 18, 1882.
[101 Ill. 468]
WRIT OF ERROR to the Appellate Court for the Fourth District;-- heard in that court on writ of error to the Circuit Court of Richland county; the Hon. WILLIAM C. JONES, Judge, presiding.
Messrs. BELL & GREEN, and Mr. J. P. ROBINSON, for the plaintiffs in error:
The bond was shown to have gone into the hands of Henry Blatter, and he should have been called to account for it, before the admission of secondary evidence. 1 Greenleaf on Evidence, sec. 558; Parkins v. Cobbett, 11 Eng. C. L. 394; Chapin v. Taft, 18 Pick. 379.
And what Blatter said to Morehouse about the bond being destroyed, was no evidence against the other defendants. Blatter was a competent witness for the plaintiff, and could have been compelled to produce the bond on the trial. Rev. Stat. chap. 51, secs. 6, 9.
Where a written instrument is traced to the hands of a particular person, that person must be called and sworn to give an account of it. The King v. The Inhabitants, etc. 6 T. R. 236; Jackson v. Hasbrouck, 12 Johns. 192; Woods v. Garrett, 11 N. H. 442; Poignand v. Smith, 8 Pick. 278; The Governor v. Barkley, 4 Hawks, 20. See, also, as to the diligence required, Mariner v. Saunders, 5 Gilm. 113; Rankin v. Crow, 19 Ill. 626; Cook v. Hunt, 24 Id. 535; Williams v. Case, 79 Id. 356; Wing v. Sherrer, 77 Id. 200; Railway Company v. Ingersoll, 65 Id. 399.
The substance of a lost paper ought to be proven satisfactorily, and its contents should have been known to the witness, and understood by him, so as not to leave any doubt as to its material parts; and when the proof is made out by parol, the witness should have seen and read the paper, and be able to speak pointedly and clearly as to the tenor and contents. Rigg v. Taylor, 1 Pet. 591; United States v. Britton, 3 Mason, 464; Rankin v. Crow, 19 Ill. 626.
The law is well settled, that where a surety signs a note or obligation of any kind, on the express condition that it is to be signed by another person, as a co-surety, before it is delivered, and it is delivered without being so signed, the payee, or obligee, being chargeable with notice of such condition, such facts constitute a good defence to any action brought upon such instrument against the surety. Stricklin v. Cunningham, 58 Ill. 293; Allen v. Marney, 65 Ind. 398.
Mr. J. M. LONGENECKER, and Messrs. WILSON & HUTCHINSON, for the defendant in error:
As to the last point made, that the plaintiffs in error never consented to the delivery of the bond until it was signed by other obligors, the law is settled against the plaintiffs in error. Smith v. Peoria Co. 59 Ill. 412; Comstock et al. v. Gage, 91 Id. 335.
The objection that the statement of Blatter that the bond was destroyed does not bind his co-defendants, is not sustained by authority. 1 Greenleaf on Evidence, pp. 252, 253; Wharton on Evidence, secs. 1091-2, sec. 143.
"If a document is conceded by the party in whose hands it was last heard from, to have been lost or destroyed, then notice to him to produce it is unnecessary. He is estopped from setting up such possession of the paper as would make a notice to produce of use." Wharton on Evidence, sec. 161.
The loss is proved by the clerk's certificate or oath, where the statute requires it to be filed. Abbott on Trial Evidence, sec. 14, p. 510.

TWI's Tipper Group supports women working in industries involved in welding and associated technologies and, as part of their mission to encourage and support women in engineering, they took advantage of TWI's in-house training school to take part in a welding appreciation course.
The practical course allowed six Tipper Group members the chance to experience hands-on welding using MMA, TIG and MAG welding processes as well as NDT techniques like penetrant testing and magnetic particle inspection.
This practical training took many of the group members out of their comfort zone while still being in a group supported by their peers. The informative session saw initial trepidation turn into excitement at the prospect of improving the skills on offer.
This training demonstrated how TWI is willing to support and encourage greater diversity in engineering, while also offering a genuine hands-on insight into the skills required by welders.
You can find out more about TWI's work within corporate and social responsibility (including the Tipper Group) here.
