He acquired Spanish citizenship in 1968, relinquishing his U.S. citizenship to qualify for the Spanish national team. At a height of 6'4" (1.93 m), he could play at either the shooting guard or small forward positions. He was named one of FIBA's 50 Greatest Players in 1991. On February 3, 2008, Brabender was chosen as one of the 50 most influential personalities to European professional club basketball, over the previous half-century, by the EuroLeague Basketball Experts Committee.

College career
Born in Montevideo, Minnesota, Brabender played college basketball at Willmar Junior College (now Ridgewater College) and the University of Minnesota Morris after a high school career at Milan High School.

Club playing career
Brabender was drafted by the Philadelphia 76ers in the 14th round (145th overall) of the 1967 NBA Draft, though he never played in the NBA. Brabender came to Spain in order to gain experience, and he ended up contributing to four EuroLeague titles won by Real Madrid in 1968, 1974, 1978, and 1980. With Real Madrid, he also won 13 Spanish League championships, 7 Spanish Cups, and 4 Intercontinental Cups.

EV13 route (10,400 km) starts from the Arctic Ocean and Barents Sea on the Norwegian and Russian borders and reaches the Black Sea crossing Greece in two sections, from Serres to Drama and from Kyprinos to Kastanies Evros along the River Ardas, passing through Central Macedonia, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace Regions. The route is also called "The Iron Curtain" and is a tangential route to the countries of the former Eastern Block. Crossing it, visitors have the opportunity to visit areas and places of interest related to the history of Europe during the Cold War.
Even if the Greek section of the Iron Curtain Trail is short, cyclists have the opportunity to cycle through the former "Surveillance Area", a highly-militarised area along the Bulgarian-Greek border. During the Cold War, owning land or driving a car in this area was forbidden and passing through this 25 km wide strip of land was only possible upon the presentation of a special military passport.
After crossing this former border – where access is of course now allowed – EuroVelo 13 enters Greece near the Roupel fortress, famous for its defence during the German invasion in Greece in April 1941. The route re-enters Greece where Ardas river flows along the Greek – Bulgarian border, passes through the lively village of Petrota, follows along the Evros river and enters Turkey after the town of Kastanies, in the low plains near the confluence of Evros and Ardas rivers.

Rochester Independent College is a UK school with a fresh approach to traditional private
education. There's no uniform and students are on first name terms with teaching staff. It offers flexible pathways for those who need to move schools at different points, including retaking GCSEs or A levels, switching for the final year of sixth form, or changing from IB to A levels.
"We emphasise not just getting students to pass their A Levels with excellent grades but on placing them into the best course at the best university possible for their aspirations" says Rochester Independent College's Principal Alistair Brownlow. "We enable our students, many of whom come to us from the best traditional boarding schools or international schools, to build on what they have learnt previously and focus on exam technique in a relaxed environment, encouraging them to believe in themselves more and grow in confidence."
After a disappointing set of exam results, a change of scene and a fresh approach can often be transformative. The UK Good Schools Guide, reviewing Rochester Independent College says: "Many students transfer here after poor progress at A level and the effect can be dramatic. Parents all speak highly of the pastoral care and the growth in confidence witnessed. It's a sound investment – among the retakers all got into university and three-quarters won Russell Group places."
If A Levels haven't gone completely to plan, there are options at hand. Rochester Independent College in the UK have an outstanding track record in helping students mature, get back on track and ultimately achieve their best possible performance at A level, opening the door to a fantastic choice of universities.


I've decided that Wednesdays will be weigh-in days. Weighing myself daily for this blog will make it a habit, and it's one I've already worked to break. I stress in real-life conversations that we shouldn't worry about weight. It's only part of the picture. As we all know, muscle weighs more than fat does, so if you're fit, chances are you'll weigh more. So get off the scale, folks. It only serves to make us more paranoid about our body images, and we all know we don't need any more issues.
Tried to make juice. Gross.
Sunshine: 10 minutes outside, 50 in the car.
Not a bad day! Yesterday was one of those days I wished I'd stayed in bed, but today was better. A friend at work told me about something that happened to her, and it's similar to what I've been experiencing as far as others' opinions on my recent weight loss. She looks incredible and feels healthy, and that's what is important. Let's all remember that. Let's also remember to never juice mustard greens, as they are spicy and make your stomach hurt a little. Oh, the burn. So take a lesson from me, kids! Don't be doin' that. So I ate an apple for dinner. I should have eaten more, but it got late after yoga. Live and learn, guys.
. A ripe banana. Eat them THIS way.
I know what you mean about "others' opinions on recent weight loss". The healthiest I've ever been was when I got the most crap from people about my body. But funny how when I gain weight or am eating unhealthy, no one says anything.
Thank you, girl!! <3 It's been fun. I'm happy to share!

Saudi Arabia: Trial of terrorist "Yanbu cell" begins - ASHARQ AL-AWSAT English Archive
Saudi Arabia: Trial of terrorist "Yanbu cell" begins
by Asharq Al-Awsat | May 17, 2011 | Middle East |
Riyadh, Asharq Al-Awsat – In its first public session, the Saudi Arabian Special Criminal Court, which specializes in terrorism cases, began the trial of a terrorist cell consisting of 11 members, who are accused of conspiring with the perpetrators of the terrorist attack which took place in the city of Yanbu on 1 May 2004, resulting in dozens of deaths and injuries. This represents the first time in the history of the Saudi Arabian Special Criminal Court that a trial has been covered openly by the media.
The Yanbu massacre took place on 1 May 2004, and saw 4 militants of the "Yanbu cell" storm the offices of the Texas-based ABB Lumus Global Inc, opening fire on workers indiscriminately. This attack and the ensuing police chase through the city resulted in the death of one Saudi Arabian security officer and 6 foreign nationals, namely two Americans, two Britons, one Australian and one Canadian, as well as the injury of more than 25 Saudi nationals. The 4 gunmen were killed during the attack.
Riyadh is accusing the 11 defendants of providing material support to the perpetrators of the Yanbu massacre, and the legally obtained confession of the defendants indicates that the "masterminds" behind the Yanbu attacks were none other than Saad al-Faqih and Mohammad al-Massari, Saudi dissidents living abroad in London.
The Special Criminal Court judge allowed Saudi Arabian media, including Asharq Al-Awsat, to attend the first session of the trial of the 11-member terrorist cell. The 11 defendants arrived half an hour early for the first public session of their trial, which began at 10:10 am. 6 of the defendants sat in the first row of the court-room, facing a panel of 3 judges, with the remaining 5 defendants sitting in the second row.
The 11 defendants were clearly in good health, although 2 of the defendants did show signs of suffering from the flu; all defendants were dressed in white robes and wearing the traditional Saudi Arabian keffiyah.
A representative of the Saudi Arabian Bureau of Investigation and Public Prosecution, sitting to the left of the judges, read out the numerous charges against the 11 defendants, and revealed that the prosecution would be seeking the death penalty if they were found guilty. The prosecution's statement lasted 90 minutes.
The main charge against the 11 defendants is that of "forming a terrorist cell to plan the implementation of terrorist crimes, which would serve the objectives of Al Qaeda organization in the Kingdom [of Saudi Arabia]." In addition to this, the prosecution accused the 11 defendants of "planning, preparing, and supporting the execution of the crime of the terrorist attack against innocent people… [in addition to] terrorizing citizens and expatriates by firing their machine guns at security guards and pedestrians, commandeering vehicles at gunpoint, and using them [the vehicles] to continue targeting and firing upon locations where civilians assembled."
The 11 defendants were also accused of money laundering, the possession of illegal weapons, and harming the national security of Saudi Arabia.
The general prosecutor in the Yanbu massacre case also made reference to the "terrorism" witnessed by Saudi Arabia over the years, which has resulted in over 145 deaths and more than 674 injuries. The prosecution stressed that former Al Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden was the major catalyst behind the majority of these terrorist crimes in Saudi Arabia. He also acknowledged that the majority of Al Qaeda "sleeper cells" have historically been uncovered in Riyadh and Mecca, due to the large number of Riyadh and Mecca residents who fought in Afghanistan and then returned home.
7 of the 11 defendants are said to be members of the same family, whilst the remaining 4 members of the Yanbu terrorist cell are unrelated. All of the defendants are Saudi nationals; 5 of whom have university degrees, 5 others have high school diplomas, whilst the final defendant is a graduate of a technical college.
According to the legally certified confession obtained from the accused, the Yanbu massacre had been carried out "in retaliation for the people of Fallujah in Iraq, against the Americans and the infidels."
10 of the 11 defendants agreed to issue a written plea and defense against the charges issued against them, however the 11th defendant agreed to respond immediately to the charges laid against him, categorically denying them.
The prosecution read out the list of charges against the 11 defendants, with the primary suspect in this case being accused of 14 separate charges, including coordinating and planning the Yanbu massacre, and providing and manufacturing explosive materials. The 11 defendants were also accused of inciting a rebellion inside the prison where they are being held, as well as inciting against prison guards, including takfir [accusing them of apostasy], breaking windows, and refusing to follow the prison rules and regulations.
The public prosecutor told the court that what the Yanbu terrorist cell had done represented "the worst type of corruption" and called on the judges to sentence them to death.
As mentioned previously, one of the defendants asked to be allowed to respond to the charges made against him immediately. The defendant, a former imam who worked for the Saudi Arabian Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice [CPVPV] comprehensively denied being a member of the terrorist "Yanba cell." As for his connection to the Yanbu massacre's mastermind Mustafa al-Ansari, who was killed during the attack, the defendant claimed that his connection to him could be explained by the fact that the two men were former colleagues who lived in the same neighborhood, and he comprehensively denied knowing that al-Ansari was wanted by the security authorities.
In response to accusations that he went to fight in Iraq without the permission of the state, the defendant said that some religious scholars at the time claimed that the state wanted to see the Americans defeated in Iraq, but from a political standpoint could not authorize anybody to go [to fight], and therefore he had the implicit permission of the state [to travel to fight in Iraq].
As for the electronic hard-drives seized by the authorities, which included information about Al Qaeda, the defendant said that he was merely interested in this issue as part of his job as a mosque imam, stressing that he was merely following the events in Iraq and other countries.
However in response to this, the general prosecutor stressed that the prosecution was certain that the defendant had accessed blocked websites affiliated to Al Qaeda, in order to follow up Al Qaeda operations related to the Yanbu massacre "mastermind" Mustafa al-Ansari, which contradicts his claims that he was not aware that al-Ansari was wanted by the Saudi authorities. In addition to this, the Saudi prosecution said that the defendant's testimony contradicted other legally certified confessions.
The terrorist who planned and carried out the Yanbu massacre, Mustafa al-Ansari was killed during this operation, along with three others. According to the authenticated confessions of the 11 defendants, Mustafa al-Ansari first left Saudi Arabia to join the mujahedeen in Afghanistan in 1992. He stayed in Afghanistan for one year before returning to Saudi Arabia. He later traveled to Britain, and then Somalia, where he married. He remained in Somalia for 6 months before once again returning to Saudi Arabia in 1998, under a forged Somali passport. He lived in Saudi Arabia for one month before travelling to Yemen, where he remained for 5 years. He then returned to Saudi Arabia once again, this time illegally crossing the border. The 11 defendants also acknowledged that Al-Ansari had contacts with Saudi dissidents in London, Saad al-Faqih and Mohamed al-Massari, although they had no proof that he was in contact with or affiliated to Al Qaeda.
The Saudi Arabian Special Criminal Court judge set the next session of the Yanbu terrorist cell trial to take place on 12 June, during which the defendants will respond to the charges made against them.

AXA launches new digital claims solution to transform the customer journey
By Mark Dugdale on	 August 4, 2021 News, Technology
AXA has launched STeP, a digital claims solution that is set to transform the insurer's online offering and provide more choice for its motor insurance customers.
The new solution, which has been developed in-house at AXA, sees the insurer expand its digital capabilities beyond electronic notification into a self-serve, end-to-end digital claims experience. Customers can now choose seamless multi-channel journeys when making a motor claim.
AXA's Direct Motor and Swiftcover customers can notify and track a claim online and, for certain types of claims, the journey is also automatically integrated with the insurer's suppliers who will then help them with the repair or replacement of their vehicle depending on the type of damage.
The claims journey has been significantly simplified by integrating AXA's Guidewire Claims System with machine learning models and augmented decision tools built by its analytics team, and by developing integrations and tools with key suppliers. This ensures policyholders receive rapid action for repair or fast and accurate settlement when their vehicle is written off.
The time taken from customer notification to partners arranging repair or salvage is now down to minutes, and customer feedback has been very positive about the simplicity and speed of the journey, according to AXA.
Customers will still be able to phone AXA and speak to someone if they wish, but STeP means they have even greater choice in how they interact with the insurer.
AXA's claims team has been able to develop STeP and implement this straight-through claims processing in just seven months from concept to launch. The insurer is also looking at ways to use the STeP technology to further develop the digital journey across other business lines.
Waseem Malik, executive managing director of claims at AXA Insurance UK, commented: "Customers increasingly want faster and more tailored engagement and STeP allows AXA to deliver against these changing customer expectations. We are offering our motor insurance customers greater choice in how they interact with us, with a fast, seamless journey at one of the key moments of truth in insurance—the claim."
"This is a significant step in our digital transformation journey and one we are incredibly proud of. Customer choice is at the heart of what AXA does, and I'm excited at the possibilities this technology also offers for customers across the wider business."


Selena Gomez has given us brief respite from the slow, agonising wait for the follow-up to Revival with It Ain't Me, a new collaboration with topical house maestro Kygo.
The single - AVAILABLE NOW - can only be described as a gentlebanger; loping of beat and anthemic of chorus. There's a particularly pleasing chord change at the 55" mark. It is a solid 7/10.
Some of the internet's more excitable "news" sources say the song is definitely about Justin Bieber, because everything a successful woman does has to be framed through their relationships, right?

If you've ever given or sought consolation for receiving an A- instead of an A, you'll feel right at home in Whiz Kids. The documentary, which opens this weekend at Laemmle's Music Hall, charts three teen scientists as they prepare for the Intel Science Talent Search, high school's equivalent of the Nobel Prize. There's a lot of hard work and a little heart break along the way, but this trio is hell-bent on forging their destinies and a new world. Harmain, raised on food stamps by a Pakistani single mother, plots human evolution by carbon-dating crocodile fossils (human fossils from the same sites are too fragile to be examined). Ana, the first in her family looking to attend college, analyzes plant root systems to increase crop yields.
Kelydra, the most political of the trio, quickly finds herself at odds with industrial conglomerate Dupont when she removes carcinogens from her small town's drinking water with a device she MacGyvered with parts from Walmart. If all that went over your head, fear not; Whiz Kids' greatest strength is the teens' talent for explaining their work is in plain English (stick-figure animatics lend an assist). By wearing their hopes and dreams on their lab coat sleeves, these scientists also display their humanity and humility. And yet, no matter how high the stakes get, Whiz Kids refuses to indulge in the fake drama that has polluted competitive documentaries. Which is incredible considering that we're still talking about high school.
Full list appears below. See you at the movies!
If Whiz Kids is the future of science, the New Media Film Festival is the future of entertainment. The "all ages, all cultures, all media" showcase runs all weekend at the Downtown Independent. It's the first and likely only time this collection of cell phone creations, web series, shorts, and 3D films will appear on the big screen. If your attention span exceeds 2 minutes, there's also a Superhero Pajama Party program on Saturday night, featuring the equally charming and depressing doc Confessions of a Superhero, accompanied by several members of the endangered species Superheros Hollywoodboulevardicus. And lest you think I'm just some square who talks about documentaries, I'm pleased as punch that the Devil's Night Drive-In is back raising hell. The rooftop ruckus launches its summer schedule with Jim Henson's classic Labyrinth. If you'd rather sit on a coffin than in your car, Cinespia screens Tim Burton's Beetlejuice and Michelangelo Antonioni's scintillating Blowup at Hollywood Forever Cemetery.

Does your company only offer you retirement plans like the 401(k)? Well, this means that you are rather limited when it come to having different investment options. You should not worry. There are many different employer retirement plan options to explore. Let's start off with the one with least risk.
Money market funds This is also known as savings account. Every month, you should be depositing some amount into your savings. This is the good habit preached by everyone everywhere. True, this is the least risky option but also with the lowest payout. The only danger of staying within a savings account is that inflation will catch up on your rate of return.
Bond mutual funds This type of mutual fund invest in multiple and unique high-quality bonds. This is because bonds will generally pay higher rates of interest. This is also known as dividends. Selecting a bond fund is always better than a money market fund (or savings account).
But with greater earning percentage, comes greater risk. However, if you compare with stocks, bonds are still better if you consider the short term yield.
Who should invest in bond funds? It is suitable for people who are interested in keeping their money safe but want higher returns. These generally include older and senior citizens. Bond funds would not attract young and hot-blooded adults.
Guaranteed-investment contracts These are also known as the 'GICs'. They are provided by insurance companies. Unlike bonds or stocks, 'GICs' will always guarantee a positive return.
One good thing with the 'GICs' is that your account value does not fluctuate as much at all. In terms of profits, 'GICs' have the same amount of return rates with bond funds.
Of course, they are still better than savings accounts. The only risk you face is that the insurance company might go bankrupt. In this case, you will lose all of your money.
Balanced mutual funds They invest in both stocks and bonds, hence the name. If you invest individually into bonds of stocks, it is more risky than investing in a balanced mutual fund.
Stock mutual funds Like its name suggests, it only invests in stocks alone. As we all know, stocks provide great benefits for the long term. But be prepared to face lots of fluctuations as the years go by.
Investing into your own company This would be considered as buying your company's own stocks. But the problem is that if you do invest in it, you are said to be putting all of your eggs into one basket. That is because you are already depending on the same company for monthly income. Have you ever given a thought about retrenchments? This is by far the most risky retirement account investment option.
Knowing about retirement is important. But you might be interested in zero gravity chair and folding reclining chair .
During those days before your actual quit smoking target date, you are mentally preparing yourself to be free from smoking. This must be a strong decision that only you can make for yourself. No one else can do it for you.
For many smokers the desire to quit smoking is strong yet it seems no matter what they do, they just cant seem to break this devastating habit. The inability to quit smoking causes many to privately belittle themselves and curse their seeming weakness.
For others it seems they simply wake up one morning and decide to quit smoking. What makes the difference in these people? Is someone who decides to quit smoking like this a stronger person than the one who has yet to become a non-smoker? Lets evaluate.
First off, most people even smokers dont really enjoy smoking. For some the nicotine addiction is strong. Nicotine is very addictive, and breaking this addiction by not smoking can be very trying and difficult. Even after months have passed, there are those who will start smoking again. So, if youre one who has yet to quit smoking dont berate or belittle yourself.
By the same token, dont give up on the idea to quit smoking. Yes, nicotine is addictive, but it is an addiction that can be broken. There are several aids available to help you quit smoking. Threes gum, threes patches, and threes even inhalers containing nicotine, that will gradually help you wean yourself from the addiction as you quit smoking. All of these aids do have merit.
Most will tell you to set a quit date at least 10 days out, and dont actually stop smoking until your quit date. Its also advised that cold turkey is the most successful quit path.
First of all, you can not stop just because someone tells you it is bad for your health. You can not stop because your significant other wants you to quit smoking. Fear is probably not a good motivation for you either. They have a strong will to continue, even if you advise it.
One component is mandatory if any of these aids are to work for the person that has previously tried to quit smoking and failed. This component is your attitude. Before you even begin the actual process to quit smoking, you will most likely need some adjustments in your attitude. If you prepare yourself before you actually quit smoking, your chances for success are much better.
To run the power, you have to actually quit smoking; you need to evaluate themselves and the real reasons behind why you still smoke. This is no easy task for many, but once they have all the real reasons, and the mental attitude to replace smoking with other things, better benefits, and the task becomes much easier to quit.
Once your stop smoking time comes, you might want to use some of the above mentioned tools to improve your success rate. The point is that if you have done your preparation beforehand your chance for success will be greatly improved.
Remember that the mind and body thrive and in which substance it is. Make sure that you feed both the mind and body only positive substance and the results will be positive. You can quit smoking.
Stop Smoking right now and learn how you can have a better quality of life with out smoking.
A latest write-up much touted in mainstream media gave us the lowdown on a cancer analysis Uk report: 'World Cancer Day,' predicting that half the UK's citizens will at some stage in their lives be diagnosed with cancer.
I have no purpose to doubt that cancer researchers would most likely find the exact same statistic for other Western Planet nations such as the USA. However, no matter whether or not the 1 in two statistic will flip out to be correct is not my concern: What is is that it isn't going to have to be this way for a variety of causes not mentioned in the report, or by cancer investigation and mainstream media as a rule.
The first point is that cancer research's declare that they have improved on detecting cancers earlier via better screening programmes so that far more can be effectively carried out when treating patients at early phases… is flawed.
Positive, the associated early detection technologies has enhanced but here's the rub. No matter how considerably much more early detection it is nonetheless unclear whether or not or not the cancer found will be benign or malignant. Since cancer rakes in large revenue for the healthcare / pharmaceutical establishment blunders have been manufactured through biasness judging several early cancers to be malignant, justifying high-priced treatment when they had been benign.
-Constantly bear in mind, no cash to be had when benign from the body's normal healing capability.
Sure, the post rightly mentions that a substantial percentage (60% plus) of cancer sufferers are elderly people 65 many years and older and that the essential factors diet, life-style, genetics and the atmosphere will figure out regardless of whether or not an person will be affected.
Nevertheless, in spite of the proof cancer analysis greatly plays down and pretty much ignores the use of nutrition as an efficient cure. It tends to make all the sense that the very material of our bodies and our health need to rely on high quality nutrition essential for growth, upkeep, cell substitute and fix, so why not use it as a medicine to deal with cancer?
The use of cheap, normal, non-toxic, non-invasive nutrition as medication to deal with cancer has been acknowledged and properly applied by several brilliant pioneers more than the years. Attempt hunting up these: Max Gerson with metabolic dietary treatment, Ernst Krebs' Laetrile Treatment (notably seem up how the science was deliberately botched with undesirable science by the medical / pharmaceutical establishment to steer clear of producing this inexpensive remedy available).Then there's Harry Hoxey's herbal remedies and Rene Caisse's herbal formula… to title but a couple of.
-Right here you'll locate that all these innovators with their powerful cancers cures have been unjustly ridiculed, ignored, suppressed and some even attacked by the health-related / pharmaceutical establishment closing down premises because they will not enable some more affordable competitor undercut their enterprise.
The establishment owns and controls the cancer study world-wide institutions around the world so it makes sense for the researchers to be indoctrinated into not having to pay that considerably focus to nutrition. Any true researcher, especially those thinking with their hearts would see proper by means of the establishment's motivations and validate people naturopathic options.
With the mention of diet regime, life style and environmental aspects getting an influence on regardless of whether or not we get cancer at least the report serves as a cautionary tale reminding us what we need to have to shell out heed to.
-The greatest risk to overall health is ignorance and apathy.
Have you made (and broken) a comparable guarantee to oneself and your loved ones? Look, the reality is quitting smoking is tough. Breaking the habit takes a whole lot more than just saying you are going to do it. It will take a robust will to get previous withdrawals and to overcome tempting scenarios the place you want practically nothing much more than to light up.
That is why so numerous men and women who attempt to cease smoking finish up failing miserably. It truly is just as well significantly to try to do on your very own.

The far more people you have on your side, the far better your probabilities are of quitting.
Now, you've probably heard stories about individuals who just make a decision to quit smoking a single day cold turkey. The truth is that the men and women who are profitable at quitting cold turkey are the exception, not the rule.
What does this suggest for you? It implies you require to uncover out which stop smoking aids are most effective at helping kick the habit. Must you select a prescription stop smoking help? Or are herbal quit smoking merchandise safer and far more efficient?

Gary Numan Announces New Studio Album 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' And Tour Dates
Written by Jason Price on July 30, 2013
Electro and industrial music pioneer Gary Numan will release 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' on October 15th 2013, his first new studio album in over seven years. A long-time advocate of artist independence, 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)', will be released on Numan's own label Machine Music. Numan co-produced his 20th studio album with long-time collaborator and producer Ade Fenton and also features some sublime guitar work from Nine Inch Nails guitarist Robin Finck. The album was recorded in England and completed at Numan's home studio in Los Angeles, California, following his permanent move to the US at the end of 2012.
Visit Stereogum's Progress Report HERE to read an extensive interview with Numan and to stream the album's first single and lead track "I Am Dust". The song will be available for immediate download with all pre-orders of the album.
Gary Numan's influence has been recognized by a diverse array of the world's greatest artists-from Prince to Lady Gaga, Jack White to Kanye West; Beck to Queens Of The Stone Age, and The Foo Fighters to Nine Inch Nails, many of which have collaborated with Numan and covered or sampled tracks from his vast back catalogue. While Numan's unique, pioneering style continues to connect he has never stopped trying to innovate and his latest album is evidence of this desire to never standstill.
'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' is Numan's first full-length studio album since 2006's 'Jagged', but the seven-year wait between albums was not something Numan intended. After the critically acclaimed reception of 'Jagged' he planned to swiftly follow-up the album with 'Splinter'; having announced the title of the record many years ago as his next project. But plans for the release of the album constantly changed as Numan went through phases where he found it impossible to write due to a crippling lack of self-confidence brought on by severe bouts of deep depression. Despite this dark time Numan continued to tour, including being personally invited by super-fan Trent Reznor to join Nine Inch Nails during their set to perform several of his own songs including 'Cars' and 'Metal', which NIN had previously covered, on the band's 2009 'Wave Goodbye' tour. Numan also managed to co-write the single 'My Machines' with Battles, and Numan's music continued to stay in the spotlight thanks to bands such as Jack White's The Dead Weather covering the classic 'Are 'Friends' Electric?'. For all his success over the years, Numan has never felt confident of his talents and during the making of 'Splinter' he would constantly throw out ideas and start over again and again. But Numan wasn't only contending with completing new music, his personal life was full too, with a much publicised move to a new home in Los Angeles with wife Gemma and their three young daughters.
Numan's permanent relocation to the US reinvigorated his creativity and had an immediate positive effect, with 'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' eventually being finished in his LA studio at the start of 2013. The album features 12 tracks ranging from the classic Numan melodies and vocal delivery of 'I Am Dust' to slower velocity anthems such as 'Where I Can Never Be' and the orchestral strings of 'The Calling'. Carefully curating the talents of guitarist Robin Finck to add a rich, eastern texture on several tracks, Numan ensured that 'Splinter' is most definitely an electronic album. Right from the start, it's thrilling to hear Numan's voice-almost unchanged from his early years-set against a backdrop of cold, dark electronics. And there's both a real edge and sense of urgency to the new material, in the whiplash choruses and thundering bass lines of 'Everything Comes Down To This' and 'Love Hurt Bleed'. There's also a lingering sense of pain and isolation. 'My Last Day' and 'Lost' are two of his finest songs, an aching sense of loss communicated with a signature directness showcases his unique writing capabilities. Whilst 'We're The Unforgiven' and the title-track en-rich the sound with weird hooks and Arabian riffs in a dark escapism from some of the more personal lyrics on the album.
'Splinter (Songs From A Broken Mind)' will be released in North America on 15th October with tour dates beginning in August through to November, including appearances as the special guest on the upcoming Nine Inch Nails arena tour at the personal invitation of Trent Reznor.

News of the survival of the "Wild Boar" team sparked jubilation in a nation gripped by the harrowing drama, with news websites, social media and the prime minister celebrating the event and hailing the rescuers as heroes.
"Thank you all Thais, thank you all foreigners, everybody is a hero and everybody helped each other," Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha told reporters.
A video shot by the rescuers in flickering torchlight 4 km (2.5 miles) from the mouth of the cave in Thailand's northernmost province showed boys clad in shorts and red and blue shirts sitting or standing on the rock above an expanse of water.
"Thank you," responded one of the boys.
"But if that doesn't work, with the seasonal rain, we'll do it another way," he told reporters.
Officials declined to say what plans 'A' and 'B' were, but said they aimed to bring the boys out the same way they had entered.
The SEALS tried to get phone lines into the cave to allow the boys to speak to parents and families staying at a nearby shelter throughout what could be Thailand's most high-profile rescue mission.
News of the discovery sparked jubilation among relatives and rescuers and spread swiftly enough to figure on the front pages of Tuesday's newspapers.
"Found the 13 'Wild Boars', safe and preparing to come out," was the headline in the country's biggest daily, Thai Rath.
Caricatures of smiling volunteers, rescue workers, and media spread on social media and messaging platforms, applauding a search mission that involved citizens of Australia, Britain, China, Japan, Myanmar and the United States, among others.
"Take our hearts—thank you," read one cartoon, while another read "You are our heroes," followed by "Thank you," in eight languages.
His deputy, Passakorn Bunyalak, dismissed rumors that the mission could last up to four months but said the boys' safety was paramount and their extraction should not be rushed.
