Rockspeak, BBC Radio 1, October 1974
Q: Like many people I should declare an ignorance about what Wishbone Ash have been doing lately, because although you always sold a lot of records, you seem to keep yourself to yourselves. Where have you been?
Steve Upton: Well, for the past year we've mainly been concentrating on writing and rehearsing and recording our new album, which is called "There's the Rub". Also, Ted Turner, who used to be one of the guitarists, decided he'd had enough of rock 'n'roll and he decided to leave, which sort of set us back a few months.
Q: You were a group that didn't have changes, weren't you? Other groups are continually changing...
SU: That's right, yes. We've always felt the strength has been in the four of us rather than any particular individual and since Ted left we've found Laurie Wisefield, who used to be with Home, and everything's great again now.
Q: Why did Ted leave at that moment? Was it success?
SU: We'd been on the road so much - concerts and being in America so much - and it was a very trying period for everyone. I think Ted's decision was a very hard one for him to make but I think overall, as far as the band's concerned, it was a right decision and it's given the band a lot of time to rethink, and I think we're a lot stronger for it now. I think Ted had personal ideas of what he wanted to do and I think he felt he'd exhausted his role in rock'n'roll.
Q: What's Ted going to do? Do you know at all?
SU: Well, I saw him today actually, and he's going to New Orleans to spend some time, and then he's going to Peru. So, I don't think he's going to be getting another band together at the moment. I think he really finds he needs time to reassess himself.
Q: Will he be playing in New Orleans? Because albums have been made in New Orleans - Jess Roden made his album in New Orleans quite recently with the Meters. Is he going to do anything like that?
SU: Well, you can never tell, he may well do that, but I think as it stands he's really just thinking about what he's going to do. He's got his ideas, he wants to go to Peru and check a few things out there and that's all I know. I'm sure he isn't certain what the future holds.
Q: The album title "There's the Rub" sounds slightly like a comment on what's been happening.
SU: Yes. It does tie in a bit, but this was instigated by our album designer, who's done all our albums up to now, except the first one, and I think it's an appropriate title.
Q: You have sold an enormous amount of records. Do you ever feel you lack recognition in any way?
SU: Well, I don't think so. I must point out that we haven't been a band that's concentrated on the singles market. We haven't ever gone out to write singles. On this album we have a couple of tracks that we've taken into the singles market. We've considered it a lot more this time. I think we've got a single on there, but this band up to now has mainly been concentrating on live performances. We've worked solidly in America, although we haven't done much here in the past few years. I think the role of the single now, in the case of an album band, is like a 'calling card' really. This is the way it seems to be treated, especially in America. If you have a single out and it's a success, your albums usually is. It's just an extra way of getting across to more people really.
Q: Could you tell us a little about the circumstances of the recording of "There's the Rub"?
SU: Well, this is the first album that we've recorded out of England - we recorded it in Miami at Criteria Studios, and we also had a gentleman by the name of Bill Szymczyk, who has produced people such as J.Geils, Joe Walsh, James Gang, Rick Derringer and a host of other rock artists. He has managed to get the band across on album in a better way than we've ever managed to do so before and we thoroughly enjoyed doing it.
Q: Can you tell us a little bit about the tracks?
SU: "Don't Come Back" is quite a heavy, rock'n'roll number - very direct and strong. The first track on the album is called "Silver Shoes", which is a bit more relaxed and which I happened to write the lyrics to. It's about a lady of the road and it was inspired by going to America and checking out these ladies. "Hometown" is our hopeful single - the lyrics were written sometime ago by Martin. I think the lyrics are about a year old, they're about coming home after being away for a long time and this is one of the funkier tracks on the album, which is a bit of a departure for us because we haven't been regarded as funky before, but I think this is quite a funky track. I think the atmosphere of Miami helped a lot in this particular case. "FUBB" is an instrumental. It's quite long and involved and it's a number that is very popular on stage and it's enabled us to drop an old number of ours from our stage act, which is "Phoenix". This is a very guitar orientated track and shows the skills of both Laurie, the new guitar player, and Andy Powell. I'll leave your imagination to sum up what "FUBB" means!
Q: Groups now are playing America and everywhere - a large amount of it's economic obviously, but it does seem a bit hard on the British fans.
SU: Well, the one problem in England is that it's so small, as many people have commented before, and unless you do two or three nights in one particular place it's just not a viable proposition. We love working in England because it's so cosy and the audiences are just great. We just appreciate England, I don't think we could ever move away from England, but that's a thing we'll have to see in the future, whether we'll have to stay or go, but the next tour will take in a lot more of the country and probably do two or three gigs in one particular town. From now, we're finishing off a European tour, then we have a little rest and then we go back to America for about two or three months, taking in the whole of the easy and west coasts and then we hope to go to Hawaii to do a gig, and then over to Japan, Australia and New Zealand. We're really at the beginning of this world tour and we hope to see everyone soon when we tour England again. Hopefully it will be in the Spring of 1975 that we'll be making another album. Hopefully we'll be able to get a tour in either before or after that. This particular tour of England has been very short and I'm sure a lot more people would like to see the band as it stands toda


The Motion Picture Association (MPA) is the international counterpart of the Motion Picture Association of America.
The MPA is an offshoot of the Motion Picture Association of America, which was started in 1922 as a trade organization for the American film industry. Its task was to curb criticism of American films of the era, and give a more favourable image of the film industry.
Following World War II, in 1945 its counterpart the Motion Picture Export Association of America was formed to restore the American film market, and fight the trade barriers and restrictions imposed on American films.
In 1994 its name was changed from the Motion Picture Export Association of America to the Motion Picture Association to more accurately reflect the global nature of audiovisual entertainment in today's international marketplace.
The Motion Picture Association and the Motion Picture Association International represent the interests of the six international producers and distributors of filmed entertainment. To do so, they promote and protect the intellectual property rights of these companies and conduct public awareness programs to highlight to movie fans around the world the importance of content protection.
The organizations act on behalf of the members of the Motion Picture Association of America. The MPA and the MPA-I have worldwide operations which are directed from their head offices in Los Angeles and Washington, D.C. and overseen in the Asia Pacific by a team based in Singapore.
The MPA strives to protect the creative rights of the large corporate film makers. Its counterpart has come up with infamous slogans such as "Who Makes Movies?" and "You can click, but you can't hide."
Around the world the MPA helps with local law enforcement to combat "piracy".

Apostolic grace
Leadership Courage (part fifty two)
by Kirk Kirlin in Apostolic grace, Christian Leadership, Christian Maturity, clergy coaching, Leader Development, Leadership Coaching, Leading, ministry coaching, Pastor coaching, Strategy
Go First! (part two)
To the Church at Ephesus, Paul wrote: So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up… Yet, since the Reformation, the Church in the West has been dominated almost exclusively by those with the pastor-teacher gift.
It shows.
What do you lose when apostolic grace is missing from the Church?
An apostle is a "sent-one". Walk into the dozen churches closest to your home and send the members out into the community to minister there. Call them to establish the Kingdom reign and rule of God out there. Challenge them to pioneer fresh and meaningful expressions of ministry that make sense to the prevailing culture — outside their walls.
The Christians in those churches will look at you like you're nuts!
And the longer they've been "churched" the more aghast they will be. If they've been in church their entire lives, their incredulity will be nearly insurmountable.
The religious culture in which they've been steeping has been training them to be scandalized by the assertion that they're supposed to minister regularly, routinely, naturally, and passionately among those who are not followers of the Christian way. The culture believes that's what ministers are paid for. "Ministers minister. We come and sit and listen and sort of tithe…"
Trust me on this.
I'm close to a few Senior Pastors who challenged their people in just this way — and the power brokers who control their elder boards — ran the pastors out. Out of the church. Out of town. Out of pastoral ministry.
A tragedy.
It is heartbreaking for the pastors. It's far more disastrous for the congregations left behind, mired in meaningless maintenance of impotent programs and life-sapping control. The greatest catastrophe, however, is for those the Church continues ignore, insulating them from what would have been provocative demonstrations of Christ's transformative presence in their midst.
They just go to Hell.
Does this remind you, at all, of Jesus' words: "What sorrow awaits you teachers of religious law and you Pharisees. Hypocrites! For you shut the door of the Kingdom of Heaven in people's faces. You won't go in yourselves, and you don't let others enter either. [Mt 23:13 NLT]
See, the apostolic impetus ignites action.
It generates ground-breaking innovation. It leads change. It is consumed with whatever could expand the reach and impact of the Kingdom of God. The apostolic is risk-taking, not safety-centered. Its orientation is forward.
Forward looking.
Forward leaning.
Forward moving.
Teaching is valuable in so much as it produces Christ-honoring Kingdom advance. In individuals. In congregations. And in society.
Christ gave the apostolic to the Church for her effectiveness.
And, where it's missing, minimized, or marginalized, you get, well… you get what we have today.
Leadership Courage (part fifty one)
by Kirk Kirlin in Apostolic grace, Christian Leadership, clergy coaching, coaching, Leader Development, Leadership Coaching, Leadership Skills, Leading, ministry coaching, Pastor coaching, perspective, Strategy
Go First! (part one)
Could you imagine the impact of a largely leaderless Church for, say, 400 years?
Well, look around…
We're heading for the home stretch on this examination of courageous Christian leadership. The impetus for my challenges and observations is Edwin Friedman's wonderful book: A Failure of Nerve. Thus far, we've made eight observations about leadership amidst a culture of cowardice:
One: Courageous leadership is not about skill, technique, or knowledge. It is, most of all, about the presence of the leader as he or she moves through life.
Two: Take full responsibility for your own emotional being and destiny.
Three: Promote healthy differentiation within the church or system you lead.
Four: Stand, as an exemplar, in the sabotage and backlash that must come.
Five: Don't "push on the rope": the unmotivated are invulnerable to insight.
Six: Undermine the 80/20 Rule.
Seven: Reintroduce yourself to the adventurous life.
Eight: Disengage an unreasonable faith in reasonableness.
This brings us to the ninth principle: Go first.
Ever wonder what happened to the Church the Apostle Paul envisioned in Ephesians chapter four? A Church in which the saints are the "ministers."
Paul is clear:
So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up… and become mature… Then we will no longer be infants… Instead… we will grow to become in every respect the mature body… the whole body… grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. [Ephesians 4:11-16]
In Paul's conception, Christ gives ministers to the church to train, develop, and equip the members to minister, to mature in every respect, and to w-o-r-k.
What have we had, almost universally, since the Reformation?
Religious educators who teach, and teach, and teach the saints who sit, and sit, and sit while they learn, and learn, and learn.
The saints serving.
The body maturing.
Every part working.
What if the culprit is not so much the laziness and lethargy of the saints but the focus and function of the clergy?
See, Christ himself gave apostolic, prophetic, evangelistic, pastoral, and teaching gifts to equip his Church for maturity and ministry.
Yet, since the Enlightenment, Seminary is the route to ministry for most. What do our Seminaries produce?
An overwhelming super-abundance of pastor-teachers.
Imagine a softball team in which all nine positions are played by catchers. Very well equipped catchers.
Catcher's glove. Catcher's mask. Shin pads. The whole get-up.
Now, put that catcher on the mound and ask her to pitch… Put her in left to run down a deep fly ball… Or, at shortstop to turn a ground ball into a double play.
This is the Church in the West today.
What do teaching-gifted ministers produce?
People who learn lots of things, important things, and not much else.
I'm not denigrating the teaching gift. I'm denigrating the notion of the teaching-only ministry.
I'm inviting you to look at the results of recurring generations of pastor/teacher-dominant ministry in the West.
Are you impressed by what you see?

Leadership Courage Series # 30
What do you miss when apostolic grace is missing from the Church?
The Christians in those churches will look at you like you're nuts! And the longer they've been "churched" the more aghast they will be. If they've been in church their entire lives, their incredulity will be nearly insurmountable.
See, the apostolic impetus ignites action. It generates ground-breaking innovation. It leads change. It is consumed with whatever could expand the reach and impact of the Kingdom of God. The apostolic is risk-taking, not safety-centered. Its orientation is forward.

Intestinal Helminthic Infections Among In Patients And Out-Patients Attending Federal Medical Centre Umuahia, Abia State, Nigeria
AZUBUIKE BERNARD O. | 53 pages (6692 words) | Projects
A study on intestinal helminthic infections among in-patients and out-patients attending Federal Medical Centre Umuahia Abia state, Nigeria was carried out between March and October, 2006. A total of 550 stool samples were collected and examined using direct wet preparation. Forty-five (8.18%) of the patients were infected. The parasites identified were Ascaris lumbricoides (4.18%), hookworm (3.64%), Taenia spp. (0.18%) and Strongyloides stercoralis (0.18%). The highest prevalence of infection (10.28%) was observed in the age group 21- 30 years. More in-patients (8.23%) were infected than out-patients (8. 16%) but the difference was not statistically significance (P>0.05). The overall difference in distribution of different species of helminthes identified based on sex and on in-patients and out-patients sex related prevalence were statistically significance (P>O.05). Marital status of individuals had no significance effect (P>O.05) on the infection. The study revealed that the prevalence of helminthic infection in the study area is low.

Or "Apalach" as the locals call it is a fun weekend getaway. Yesterday was our anniversary and with our crazy lives lately we had not made any plans for the weekend. So…. yesterday when we woke up my husband, Mark, suggested a one night getaway to Apalachicola. I love the town. The cute dowtown with shops, restaurants, b&b's, oysters(I love oysters) and great architecture makes it the perfect 24 hour escape. Put the two of us together in a place like that and our architecture school nerdiness comes out in full force. We are discussing details in the buildings, streetscape, what makes a good storefront, and how we would renovate the turn of the century homes. We are snapping photos and just having a great time discussing architecture and design. We are currently headed back home (don't worry mom and Anne I am not driving and blogging) and thought I would share a few photos I snapped on my iPhone while in Apalachicola.
We stayed the night at the Gibson Inn. Which is a classic inn downtown. It supposedly has ghosts(just ask my friend Rebecca about Sunshine) but we did not have any encounters. It was a nice quiet room in the middle of town which is exactly what we needed.
Wow what a few weeks. We have been here and there and everywhere. We have new projects that we are sooooo excited about and can't wait to share photos as the homes develop. I even snuck in a few days at my family's 1950's beach house nestled in the dunes on the Gulf of Mexico. There is a sleeping porch where 8 of us slept. Sleep not so good, but fun very good. Today Doug is headed to Montgomery to review cabinets for our project at Lake Martin with our client while the rest of us are working on various projects in the stuios. Doug will catch us up on the cabinet process with a few photos when he returns. It is going to be a fabulous kitchen…. we are VERY excited! Ok…. so I got sidetracked… I am doing that a bunch lately…. to many thoughts… too little time….so back to coffee tables and cocktails.
P.S. Come back Monday for a give away…. what a better way to start the week!
Thanks to the continued growth and popularity of our shops, we are now hiring for retail positions at both our Rosemary Beach, Florida and Mountain Brook, Alabama locations. The positions we are looking to fill are retail spots, but would include some assistant duties supporting our design staff and the general operation of our business (running errands, going to the warehouse, picking up supplies, etc). We are not hiring any additional designers at this time, though we'd gladly consider someone with design experience for the retail spots we have open (or not, it's certainly not a requirement).
In Rosemary Beach, we are looking for someone to work in our shop 20-24 hours a week–every Saturday and Sunday and one other day during the week.
In Mountain Brook, we are looking for someone to work in our shop around 16 hours a week–every Saturday and one full day or two partial days during the week.
Interested candidates should email us at shop@traceryinteriors.com Please no phone calls, we'll follow up with you upon receipt of your email. It's an exciting time at Tracery with two vibrant shops and exciting design projects all over the country–we're looking forward to adding some more great people to our team!
Things are starting to come together at our new Mountain Brook shop(just around the corner from our old location). Tomorrow, Weds, is our re-Grand Opening Party. If you are in the area come by from 4-7 to celebrate with us!
Here are a few photos we shot this morning while setting up the shop… Got to love Doug being handy with the drill! There should be a class in design school about how to hang art, collages, drills, hanging drapes, etc…. Because sometimes you just have to do it yourself! For those of you who aren't in the neighborhood we will catch you up with party pics in Thursday!
We were so excited to be included in this month's Traditional Home magazine with our Master Bedroom design in the Showhouse for the Arts in Alys Beach, Florida. Have you ever seen Alys Beach…. if not take a look. We have loved working on designs in this town dripped in white. The showhouse was so fun to work on. AK, Bess and I designed the room using the existing neutral colors of the architecture accented with neutrals and blues. Below are a few pics from this issue.
Also, take a look at their website for additional photos of the home.
Remember last fall when we hosted a get together for Birmingham-area bloggers and design friends at Doug's house? Birmingham Home & Garden was there to photograph the event and a feature on the party appears in this month's issue!
Thanks for the feature, Birmingham Home & Garden!

Maybe All Threats of Mass Destruction Are 'Mentally Deranged'
John LaForge Posted on February 21, 2018
After Trump's Sept. 23 bombast at the United Nations where he claimed the US might "have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea," the propagandists in Pyongyang responded quickly, calling him a "mentally deranged dotard." During Trump's 2017 visit to South Korea, an editorial in the Minju Joson, a state-run newspaper published in Pyongyang, said the president's speech to the South's parliament was a "load of rubbish spouted by the old lunatic Trump" and "was all nonsense."
"Far from making remarks of any persuasive power that can be viewed to be helpful to defusing tension, he made unprecedented rude nonsense one has never heard from any of his predecessors," the North's President Kim Jong-un said after Trump's UN bomb threat.
Of course the imbecility of Trump's speech was unprecedented rude nonsense, but his predecessors have been nearly as bloodthirsty in their overt threats against North Korea. While the White House oaf certainly speaks like a mentally deranged dotard, his threat to totally destroy a country of 25 million people is only as deranged as his predecessors in the White Houses.
On July 12, 1993, Bill Clinton was in South Korea and warned that if the North developed and used an atomic weapon, the United States would "overwhelmingly retaliate," adding chillingly, "It would mean the end of their country as they know it."
George Bush continued the routine, hatefully naming North Korea part of an "axis of evil" during his 2002 State of the Union speech. Bush's choice of the word "axis" usefully conjured images of Hitler Fascism, against which any atrocity can of course be excused.
Likewise, Barack Obama calmly threatened the North during his April 2014 visit to Seoul, saying, "We will not hesitate to use our military might to defend our allies and our way of life." Calling the North "a pariah state that would rather starve its people than feed their hopes and dreams," Obama hearkened back to the country's terrible 1996-1998 famine — "one of the great famines of the 20th Century" according to UN aid agencies. He conveniently neglected to recall any US responsibility for failing to provide adequate emergency food aid to the starving.
Nowadays, Trump gets rightfully condemned for making threats of mass destruction against the tiny, underdeveloped North, especially as he sits at the head of the grandest military empire in the history of the world, with 12 ballistic missile submarines, 19 aircraft carrier battle groups, 450 land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, almost 800 military bases in 70 countries and territories abroad, and shooting wars underway in seven different countries.
Yet jittery trepidation regarding phantom threats by North Korea is routinely, almost universally voiced — even if it's just as routinely debunked. In 1996 the editors at the New York Times warned, "North Korea could threaten parts of Hawaii and Alaska" in less 10 years. ("Star Wars, the Sequel" May 14) Now 22 years on, the North still can't do it. In 2000, the same editors said US intelligence agencies "predict that North Korea could have the capacity to launch a handful of nuclear-tipped long-range missiles within five years." ("Prelude to a Missile Defense," Dec. 19) Eighteen years later, it still can't.
Fearmongering about North Korea always lacks any evidence that its ruling regime is suicidal, because there is no such evidence. Never explained by our military-industrial-Congressional weapons merchants, newspaper and TV pundits, or think tank analysts is why the North would precipitate its inevitable self-destruction by attacking the United States or its allies, because it never would.
A few reporters have managed to fit this acknowledgment into their stories, and for this they need to be recognized. Jessica Durando, writing in USA Today Nov. 21, 2017, said North Korea's leader appears "determined to keep his nuclear arsenal to deter a U.S. attempt to overthrow him."
And journalist Loretta Napoleoni, author of the brand new "North Korea: The Country We Love to Hate" (2018, University of Western Australia Press), spoke to the London Express Feb. 20, saying about the North's arsenal of 10 to 12 unusable nuclear bombs: "I don't think they have any intention to use it. It is a deterrent," Napoleoni said, "and very much what they wanted to achieve in order to make sure that nobody would attack them ever again."
In view of the just-announced joint US/South Korean military invasion rehearsals known as "exercises" now set for April, North Korea is the place for legitimate trepidation.

August 3, 2020 #AnnaVonReitz, #TheAmericanStateAssembly, Bill Gates from Hell, England, Eye on Bill Gates, SES SERCO, Uncategorized Leave a comment
HEADS UP CALL TO ACTION! For England 5.0 and America, Too
As we have been slogging through the trenches of many adversities and stupidities as well, we have kept a "weather eye" out for our friends in Britain, for information that they need to affirm for their country the same respect and security that is owed to ours. We do this because we realize that the British People have been just as misinformed, abused, deceived, and defrauded as we have.
We have observed throughout that the Mess is not an American issue. It is a worldwide issue, with nearly every country on the globe being caught in the Corporatist web and nearly everyone on the planet being misrepresented as a Legal Person — a slave or indentured servant — a constructive fraud and identity theft and crime of personation designed to seize illegal and unlawful claim to our land and soil assets by Robber Baron billionaires like Bill Gates, who is aiming at the "Ultimate Theft".
Bill Gates aims at nothing less than the theft of our bodies—literally.
He and his compatriots are attempting to do this by fraud, deceit, and genetic alteration, which would, if successful, lead to commercial claims of ownership and dependency based on the patented genetic material inserted into our natural genetic code — and that would enslave the entire affected world population.
Your "acceptance" of his patented RNA fragment would result in that RNA being inserted into your DNA and changing it forever. You would thereby become a new product belonging to Bill Gates and his co-conspirators.
You would no longer be a natural product of our original Creator.
This, more than anything else, is what is driving the criminals now engaged in the Covid-19 Farce.
The U.S. Military is in it up to their eyeballs, desperate to find a way to commercially enslave enough people to pay their bills.
They don't care where, who, or how. They have built a system based on peonage (mercenary service) and enslavement (purported volunteers) and they aren't willing to do the right thing and return to the command of their civilian government.
So this is a gargantuan issue that has to be finished once and for all —-most effectively by pulling all the patents that have been put in place in support of these nefarious aims.
Everyone's support for everyone else is necessary. Our eternal vigilance and determination is required. Each one of us, in our own country, must serve to defeat the aims of the Corporatists, who are nothing but Colonialists on steroids, and Robber Barons without conscience.
That Bill Gates and DOD could even come up with such a plan is an indication of the disgusting lack of moral character that is common to both, and the necessity of dealing with — as in taking out — NATO and the UN responsible for the DOD and SERCO support that has thus far enabled this criminal idiocy.
SERCO is the British-based paymaster for the U.S. Military.—- and not coincidentally, it has also been unlawfully, illegally, and immorally placed in control of our United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) where it has accomplished no end of filthy mischief, including the promotion of private corporate patents on mankind's DNA and RNA.
At the end of the day, it's a British Corporation, SERCO, that is enabling Bill Gates and the Wellcome Trust and the Filthy Fabians to procure a patent on the RNA "creation" that they hope to insert in us via the Covid-19 Test and Covid-19 Vaccination— and thereby secure a commercial claim to own us.
Such an outrageous circumstance can hardly be described without retching. Our British kindred must act in their own defense against this and pull the rug out from underneath SERCO, must expose this diabolical plot against Nature and against Mankind to the Parliament, and to the world.
Just as we must expose it to the American People and must hold the Military and Corporate and Uniformed Officers commercially and personally 100% responsible, and must also liquidate the offending patents that have been issued under our Delegated Power by SERCO.
So, all right, Lads and Ladies. It's showtime and the faster we act and the faster we start banging our dishes on the floor like angry dogs and put an end to this nastiness, the better.
Target SERCO, which richly deserves it. Target any politician who makes any excuse for this at all. Target the Parliament in Britain, and demand immediate cessation of these abuses of the American patent process and immediate and permanent of all commercial claims against living people or their "persons" based on insertion of patented DNA and RNA products.
Now, just because I have been dwelling on the current horrible betrayal and breach of trust being practiced against us all by the Pope and the acquiescing Queen and the Lord Mayor via SERCO and the US Patent and Trademark Office, doesn't mean that I haven't been looking out for our British friends regarding more basic ammunition valuable to us all.
Here it is for this week, and may God Bless him forever — DragonDaddy.

How do you succeed at SXSW?
That's the question facing acts from much of the Philadelphia music scene — and from around the world — as the industry relocates to Austin, Texas, for its annual week at the annual South by Southwest Music Festival.
Scads of Philly bands will descend on the Lone Star State's capital city seeking career advancement, in most cases playing multiple gigs in makeshift venues in hopes of connecting with as many fans and music industry movers and shakers as possible.
The list of Philly-area acts headed to SXSW spans genres. Alphabetically, it ranges from Willingboro DJ Anthony Somebody of Quitehype to Vita & the Woolf, the pop project of Philly songwriter Jennifer Pague.
In between, it includes West Philly power trio Ill Fated Natives, Wilmington psych-rocker Grace Vonderkun, North Philly rapper Tierra Whack, Frances Quinlan-fronted indie rock luminaries Hop Along, experimental rock quartet Palm, and Bucks County blueswoman Gina Sicilia.
"It's like the Olympics for bands," says Matt Quinn of Mt. Joy, the Philadelphia-bred band now based in Los Angeles that he leads with his fellow Conestoga High School grad Sam Cooper. They will be playing seven gigs in Austin.

The music portion of SXSW follows the technology and start-up-oriented Interactive Fest, which kicked off Friday. Philadelphia's presence there is focused on the Amplify Philly House, occupying a two-story bar called Pour Choices strategically located on the Sixth Street strip near the Austin Convention Center.
Amplify Philly is a promotional initiative run by REC Philly, the creative agency and artist incubator headed by cofounder Dave Silver that's putting on an all-Philly showcase for the fourth year running.
The strategy for promoting all things 215 has evolved as REC Philly has learned the ropes. Last year, Philly start-ups and bands were promoted with booths at the SXSW trade show, a dinner with Mayor Kenney, and a music showcase, all at separate locales.
This year, everything is under one roof. On Sunday and Monday, panel discussions like "Don't Call Me Phillicon Valley: Positioning the Start-Up Community in your City" will happen during the day. There will be performances by DJ Jazzy Jeff, who spins at a dance party, and Low Cut Connie and Son Little, who will top an all-Philadelphia showcase.
With so much going on — scores of panels happening simultaneously, thousands of bands hawking their wares — attracting bodies can be a challenge. The house, which will run on a $150,000 budget funded by various sponsors, including the City of Philadelphia, hopes to lure people with an open bar, Tony Luke's cheesesteaks, and La Colombe coffee. And, of course, TVs with the Eagles' Super Bowl victory on a never-ending loop.
West Philly hip-hop soul band Hardwork Movement — who are playing the all-Philadelphia showcase — will be newbies in Austin.
The nine members — "It's a real Earth, Wind & Fire situation," says Jeremy Keys, one of four emcees and the lead singer — are playing two more showcases in addition to Amplify Philly.
Hardwork released their For the People EP in September. They're venturing to Austin without a record label or booking agent, "but I don't know that we're going down there with any direct intention to get any one of those things," says Keys, who works as a social media consultant by day.
"For us, it's just about connecting with people in a variety of ways. Spreading awareness of Hardwork, but more so Philly. As a group, we really take pride in the city," says Keys, who turns 29 on Sunday. "There's such a groundswell of activity here, across the arts." The band plays Ardmore Music Hall on March 30.
South Philly band Queen of Jeans are headed to SXSW in support of their new album Dig Yourself, due out March 30.
South Philly rock band Queen of Jeans played only the Philly showcase at SXSW last year. They're promoting Dig Yourself, the band's debut album on the California label Topshelf, due March 30. The next night, they'll play a hometown record release show at Underground Arts.
"I really think the whole idea of South By is to come together with like-minded people that love music, that live for music. It's something that makes them happy, that moves them. That's the kind of networking I'm looking forward to," she says.
The stakes at SXSW are high for Mt. Joy, who named their band for the pseudo-mountain that rises along a wooded trail in Valley Forge National Historical Park.
The Philly-area friends who played music together in high school went to separate colleges, and Cooper, 29, graduated from Temple University Law School before moving to Los Angeles in 2015, where Quinn was working as an artist manager and going to law school at night.
Both buddies had pretty much given up the dream of making it as performers but were angling to work in the entertainment business. When they started playing together again in L.A., though, something clicked.
Mt. Joy, who play the Foundry in Fishtown on May 19, are a Spotify success story. "Astrovan," an immediately catchy song, was the band's first submission to the streaming service in October 2016. The data-driven Spotify's algorithm loved it: So far, it's been streamed more than 5 million times. They're featured on sanctioned playlists with names like Happy Folk and Indie Rock Road Trip.
Fresh off a tour opening for the Head & the Heart in 3,000-seat venues, Mt. Joy played SXSW last year and met reps from Nashville label Dualtone, whose roster includes the Lumineers. They signed with the label a few months later.
This year, Mt. Joy are in contention to be declared one of the winners of SXSW. Among their prominent gigs scheduled are the high-profile NPR Music Public Radio showcase at Stubb's BBQ on Wednesday, which is co-presented by Philly's WXPN-FM (88.5).

The Northern Hemisphere is found on the album Black Shining Leather.
The night is cold and brilliantly clear.
rose into the dome of the darkened skies.
the depths of the jet-black fjords.
soft and blue-tinged as the great winter day.
that glimmered slowly to life.
the ghostly radiance of the northern light.
A frozen lake discharge into an equally frozen stream.
The cold is cruel and unforgiving like the landscape.
We do not have any tags for The Northern Hemisphere lyrics. Why not add your own?

Shortly after saying hello to his new team, Raiders wide receiver Antonio Brown said goodbye to his old home in high-profile fashion.
Brown bought space on some electronic billboards in Pittsburgh to display his gratitude toward those who supported him the past nine years. The signs reading "Thank You Pittsburgh, AB 84" were seen downtown on Wednesday, near Heinz Field where Brown became the NFL's most dangerous receiver.

Considering all the drama surrounding Brown as he was forcing his way out of Pittsburgh and into Raider Nation, we're guessing not all Steelers fans had warm and fuzzy feelings after seeing the billboard.
Steelers fans, does this sum up your feelings on the Antonio Brown trade? (via @picksixpod)

Brown, though, had a similarly positive message on Wednesday about the city when he was formally introduced as a Raider.
"To any kid out there from Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh will always be my family," Brown said. "Those guys gave me a chance when I was a 21-year-old kid. Obviously, people are listening to the things that are being said and written. At the end of the day, it's all about how you make people feel. I think I made people feel good and great, really inspired, the way they watched me work, the way they watched me play.
"I know Steeler Nation is having a bad day (Wednesday), but it's always love. I encourage every kid who watched me work and was inspired by everything I've done. I hope I continue to be a good example, continue to be a good role model and continue to inspire people."
There's no word on how much it cost Brown to send his message via billboard to those in Pittsburgh, but considering he's got $30 million in guaranteed money coming from the Raiders, he won't be sweating the bill.

Klopp rejects claims his comments on Man City and PSG were xenophobic
November 7, 2022 November 3, 2022 babyqtcom
Jürgen Klopp has rejected claims his comments on the financial power of Gulf state-owned clubs were xenophobic or fuelled tensions between Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday, insisting he would "hate" himself if he were prejudiced in any way.
The Liverpool manager, who has been charged with improper conduct by the Football Association over his red card at Anfield, was drawn into the acrimonious fallout from his team's 1-0 win by an anonymous briefing linked to City. Klopp was accused – with pre‑match comments about Liverpool being unable to compete with three clubs who can "do what they want" financially – of inflaming tensions around a game in which coins were thrown at Pep Guardiola, City fans scrawled graffiti and chanted in relation to the Hillsborough and Heysel disasters, and the visiting team coach was damaged after it left Anfield.
The reference to City, Newcastle and Paris Saint-Germain, all Gulf state-owned clubs, was also alleged – anonymously – to be borderline xenophobic. The accusation prompted a stinging rebuke from a manager who has championed inclusivity throughout his career.
"I don't feel, in this specific case, I don't feel it at all," Klopp said of the allegation. "I know myself. And you cannot hit me with something which is miles away from my personality. If I was – I cannot remember the word [xenophobic] – like this I would hate it. I would hate myself for being like this. I have said a lot of times things that were a little bit open for misunderstanding, I know that. It was not intentionally; just sometimes you say things and you think: 'Oh my God, it can be interpreted like this!' But this is not one of these moments."
Klopp believes his assessment of the financial situation at City, Newcastle and PSG has been misunderstood, perhaps deliberately. "That is the life of people who speak in public," he said. "It is not the first time I am misunderstood. I know what I thought when I said it. If someone misunderstands t
"Do I have to be careful? I have known for years that I am not always careful. I realise as well from time to time that I just answer and say what I think. I try to do that in the future as well because usually it is never my aim to blame anybody or whatever, I just talk about things that I think are not that important in life actually. I say what I know about it, how I judge it or how I see it. I cannot change that. Nothing of the things that were made of it were my intention."
City have not condemned the chants from their fans at Anfield. Asked about their silence, Klopp, who has until Friday to respond to the FA charge and could be offered a one-match ban depending on the nature of the offence, replied: "This kind of question I would like not to answer. We responded as a club [with a statement about the chants and coin throwing]; that is what we had to do. That's it. Apart from that everything from a non-native English speaker would be open to misinterpretation again."
Klopp described Guardiola and Erling Haaland as the best manager and striker in the world respectively on Friday but, on the fractured relationship between Liverpool and City, he said: "I am not sure we have to be best friends with other clubs. I am not sure anybody wants to be best friends with us."
Klopp revealed that the Portugal international Diogo Jota would miss the World Cup after tearing a calf muscle in the final minutes of the win on Sunday. Jota, who will not require surgery, is the second left-sided attacking option at Liverpool to sustain a serious injury in recent weeks, after Luis Díaz. "It is very sad news for the boy, for us and for Portugal," said Klopp.

How Does Filing ...
How Does Filing Bankruptcy Affect Divorce Obligations?
Bankruptcy Stay and Discharge
The federal government established bankruptcy proceedings as a program to help people deal with mounting debts. Most private individuals can take advantage of two different kinds of bankruptcy options: Chapter 7 Liquidations and Chapter 13 Reorganizations. Both options result temporarily in what is known as an automatic stay during which the petitioner's creditors may not sue to collect on outstanding debts.
Both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceedings involve managing the petitioner's assets—known collectively as the bankruptcy estate—to pay for as many outstanding liabilities as possible. Certain outstanding debts that couldn't be addressed during bankruptcy may be discharged at the conclusion of the proceedings.
Many issues that arise during a divorce deal with the parties' finances and wealth. Divorce proceedings often result in court-ordered financial obligations. Because bankruptcy has a significant effect on financial obligations, it can be a significant issue in divorce proceedings.
The automatic stay in bankruptcy proceedings does not completely bar divorce proceedings. However, specific proceedings within divorce may be subject to the bankruptcy stay. State courts can decide matters affecting divorce, paternity, alimony, and child support. However, the bankruptcy stay prevents state courts from hearing matters concerning the division of assets that are in one of the parties' bankruptcy estate. Furthermore, bankruptcies filed on or after October 17, 2005, cannot discharge debts arising from the division of community property upon divorce.
Spousal & Child Support
Among the few exceptions to the automatic stay initiated by bankruptcy proceedings are lawsuits involving family support obligations. For example, bankruptcy will not stay a legal action regarding the nonpayment of alimony or child support. Unlike liabilities that arise from certain contracts, spousal and child support obligations stem from legal duties that arise from familial relationships.
Although missing payments can harm the operations of a business in various ways, the harm of missing support payments can directly impact the safety and wellbeing of children and financially dependent individuals. As a result, filing for bankruptcy will not stay proceedings regarding the enforcement and collection of family support payments.
Furthermore, family support obligations generally are not dischargeable in bankruptcy. However, the family support obligation in question must qualify under the bankruptcy code's definition for true or actual alimony and child support.
Courts have considered the following factors when determining whether there is a true or actual family support obligation:
Whether the court and parties intended to create a support obligation
Whether a support obligation resulted from an assessment of the factors courts use to determine family support obligations
Whether the obligation terminates upon the death or remarriage of either party
If the obligation terminates when the child reaches adulthood
If payments involve periodic installments over time
If there is no other provision concerning child or spousal support
The custodial arrangements for minor children
Whether the obligation arises from a section of a settlement or separation agreement that doesn't focus on property division

Pruritus is the medical term used to define a cat's sensation to itch, or the sensation that provokes its desire to scratch, rub, chew, or lick its hair and skin. Pruritis is also an indicator of inflamed skin. Intense scratching can eventually lead to partial or full hair loss, but with treatment, prognosis is positive.
The condition or disease described in this medical article can affect both dogs and cats. If you would like to learn more about how pruritus affects dogs, please visit this page in the PetMD health library.
There are many causes of pruritus, including fleas, scabies, lice, allergies, bacterial infections, abnormal cell development (neoplasia), and immune disorders.
A skin biopsy may be needed to determine the diagnosis, as there are many triggers that can cause skin itching and the desire to scratch. Allergy testing is often used to determine and localize the cause of the itching or desire to scratch.

Where does my AXA Car Insurance premium go?
Trying to understand why your car insurance premium costs what it costs can be confusing - especially when it goes up and down. It's important to us that you know where your money is going. So we've broken it down to make it as simple and clear as possible.
On average, 64% of all premiums are paid out on claims. Paying claims is at the heart of what we do - that's the single reason you buy insurance, so you can be assured that when you buy a policy with us, that's where the biggest chunk of your premium goes. We paid out over 99% of customers' car insurance claims last year.
Every business has to make a profit to exist - we're no different. But the profit we make is less excessive than you might think. The average car insurance premium delivers just 4% of profit. That profit means we can keep on protecting you and your car, year after year.
The Government adds tax to your insurance premium. It's called Insurance Premium Tax, or IPT for short. Unfortunately, this is the one part of your premium we have no control over. However, we do work hard on making sure the Government understands the impact this tax has on customers and to persuade them that 12%* is plenty!
It costs to keep the lights on. Like any business, expenses are necessary to keep us running. That's why some of your premium goes towards our employees' salaries and the cost of our offices, as well as investing in the most innovative technologies to make your experience with us as smooth and simple as possible.
Like all insurers, we pay into various industry funds that have been set up to protect you, the customer. For instance, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme protects you against an insurer going bust and the Motor Insurers' Bureau will compensate you if you are hit by an uninsured driver.
*Calculations based on 2015, 2016 AXA Car Insurance Policies. *IPT is 12% on top of your premium but it makes up 10.7% of the overall cost to you. Percentages rounded to the nearest whole number.

Even stranger is that on the cross it reads "Joseph Greiner died here on 2.1.1936," which was three years before WWII officially started in 1939 (a year before the Japanese invasion of China in 1937, sometimes considered the start of the war) and over a decade before Nazis began making their way to Brazil, in hopes of hiding out in the South American country. So, what was a Nazi doing in Brazil halfway around the world in 1936? As the cross states, it was "a death from fever in the service of German Research Work."
Known as the "Guayana Project," it was a mission of exploration and a testament to just how grand the Nazi's imagined their empire would be. As the report brought back to the Third Reich explained, "The two largest scantly populated, but rich in resources, areas on earth are in Siberia and South America. 'They alone offer spacious immigration and settlement possibilities for the Nordic peoples… For the more advanced white race, it offers outstanding possibilities for exploitation."
In 1935, under the cover of collecting biological specimens, Schulz Kampfhenkel (the expedition leader), Joseph Greiner and another Nazi soldier, as well as many hired locals - described in a letter back to the Third Reich as not being able to be "measured in civilized terms as we known them in Germany" - explored the region bordering French Guyana and sent back details about how the Nazi's might infiltrate and begin colonizing the country for themselves. It was suggested that the country's already existing Germans, roughly a million at the time, might become the start of what would be the great South American Third Reich Empire.
Of course, this did not happen. Greiner died of malaria while on the expedition, and Kampfhenkel brought his report to the Reich. In the end, it wasn't malaria, or the jungle, that put a stop to the plans to expand into Brazil but bureaucracy, and a lack of interest. 'Given time, the plan may be submitted again" wrote Heinrich Himmler who was in charge of approving the plans.
Today all that remains of this monomaniacal plan is the graves of the Nazis who perished in pursuit of it, known to locals as the "Nazi Graveyard."

Hublot and WBC TEAM Up for a Legendary 'NIGHT OF CHAMPIONS' | A First Model Features Fully Polished Green Ceramic Case & Second Style 18k Gold with the Green Ceramic into the Case - PRNewsFoto/Hublot
Watches News by Hublot : Hublot, the famous Swiss watchmaker, and WBC, the World Boxing Council, co-hosted an unforgettable evening celebrating its continued partnership with an exclusive 'Night of Champions' gala dinner and live auction at the iconic Encore Hotel to benefit the "WBC José Sulaimán Boxers Fund."
"Once again, we have the great honor and privilege of teaming up with the WBC and iconic boxing champions for a historic evening here in Las Vegas! We are proud to have raised over 1 million dollars tonight to benefit the WBC José Sulaimán Boxers Fund and celebrate the fusion of world-renowned competitors and Swiss watchmaking. This collaboration continues the brand's long history in support of the noble art of boxing."
- Ricardo Guadalupe
CEO, HUBLOT
"Today is one of the happiest days of my life, my gratitude goes to Hublot, Jean Claude Biver and Ricardo Guadalupe for joining the WBC in the creation of this Boxers Fund to support our past and present heroes who have fallen in financial hardship."
- Mauricio Sulaimán
President, WBC
The historical 'Night of Champions' kicked off with a red carpet and cocktail reception for VIPs, media, clients, and legendary boxing champions. Attendees were seated for a formal dinner in the presence of some of the greatest boxing living legends including: Mike Tyson, Sugar Ray Leonard, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Julio César Chávez, Roberto Duran, Zou Shiming, Thomas Hearns, George Foreman, Oscar De la Hoya, Vitali Klitschko, Jeff Fenech and Hozumi Hasegawa. Additional celebrities attended to support the initiative, including musician Carlos Santana and Mexican TV personality, Jacky Bracamontes.
The WBC José Sulaimán Boxers Fund, established in 2012 in conjunction with Hublot, aims to protect athletes' safety, health and well-being. Since its creation, the Fund has raised and distributed over $1.2 million dollars to retired boxers with financial and medical hardships for housing, living expenses, and medical costs. Hublot demonstrates a continued commitment to the WBC in 2019 by auctioning off one-of-a-kind packages with all proceeds going to the Fund. The unique packages included the chance to get in the ring at the Canelo vs. Jacobs Fight the next day, throwing the first pitch for one of the top MLB teams, and a private boxing lesson from a WBC Heavyweight Champion. Additionally, a raffle and silent auction featured exclusive items such as the last known glove signed by Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao, a golf club signed by Dustin Johnson, as well as a pair of shoes signed by Kobe Bryant. The evening was a knockout success as Hublot and the WBC raised 1.2 million dollars, all of which will go to support the José Sulaimán Boxers Fund!
In celebration of Hublot's partnership with the WBC, the Swiss watchmaker has created The Big Bang Unico WBC in two styles which feature a green alligator strap that embodies the unique design of the iconic championship belt, which is the highest form of recognition a boxer can be awarded. The first model features a fully polished green ceramic case with a matte black skeleton dial. The second style is distinctly Hublot incorporating 18k gold with the green ceramic into the case.
All of the boxing champions were gifted the Big Bang Unico WBC in green ceramic.
Founded in Switzerland in 1980, HUBLOT is defined by its innovation, which began with the highly original combination of gold and rubber. This "Art of Fusion" stems from the imagination of its visionary Chairman, Jean-Claude Biver, and has been driven forward by CEO Ricardo Guadalupe since 2012.

The heads of state of 193 members of the United Nations adopted 17 ambitious Sustainable Development Goals in September 2015. By 2030, the aim is to end poverty, hunger, drought, climate change and to improve health, education, gender balance, jobs, innovation, equality, biodiversity, peace and partnership.
In July 2016 during a High Level Political Forum in New York the global report SDG Index & Dashboards was presented. It provides a detailed analysis and benchmark of the current situation in countries compared to the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. On average, the Netherlands ranks an 8th position out of 149 countries. We are leading on certain issues and score average on others.
The report is was written by the Bertelsmann Stiftung in cooperation with the Sustainable Development Solutions Network. Aart Jan de Geus, former minister of Social Affairs & Employment and CEO of the Bertelsmann Stiftung, will be in the Netherlands on Wednesday October 12th. He will inform us about the ins and outs of the report during a keynote lecture at 16.30 o' clock.
Hugo von Meijenfeldt, coördinator of the national implementation of the global goals in the Netherlands, will respond. He will speak about the chances this report provides and how we will follow up on these. There is ample room for an in-depth discussion on the report, the score of the Netherlands and the national approach to the implementation of the targets. This discussion will be moderated by Jacqueline Cramer, strategic adviser at the Utrecht Sustainability Institute and former Minister of Housing. Spatial Planning and the Environment.
The meeting is open for everyone interested, participation is free. Register directly.

Two University of Chicago Medicine–led studies were selected by the Clinical Research (CR) Forum as among the top three best clinical research papers of 2016.
CR Forum is a national organization of senior researchers and leaders in clinical thought from leading academic health centers, pharmaceutical firms, information technology, and nonprofits.
The Herbert Pardes Clinical Research Excellence Award is the CR Forum's highest honor, and comes with a $5,000 cash prize. This year, it was awarded to geneticist Carole Ober, Ph.D., University chairman and professor of human genetics, and immunologist Anne Sperling, Ph.D., University associate professor of medicine, for their study, "Innate Immunity and Asthma Risk in Amish and Hutterite Farm Children," published August 4, 2016, in the New England Journal of Medicine.
The study examines environmental risk factors for susceptibility to asthma and allergies, comparing two U.S. farming populations: the Amish of Indiana and the Hutterites of South Dakota.
The study found that helmet ventilation, as opposed to a traditional face mask, dramatically reduced the chances of patients needing a tube ventilator, and made patients 20 percent more likely to survive Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome.
