Masahiro Mori is one of Japan's most famous porcelain designers. He studied at the Department of Industrial Design of the Tama Art University and joined the design unit of Hakusan Toki in 1956.
In 1958, he designed the G-model soy sauce pitcher which won the 1961 Good Design Award that became the symbol of Hakusan.
"I want to give form to tableware that people can use every day. Factory production makes it possible for many people to enjoy them in their daily life. That is my pleasure as a designer." The porcelain ware that was born out of Mori's design philosophy changed the look of the necessary tableware in the new life of post-war Japan. He has received many prizes in Japan and in other countries.
His last work was to design the "Wa" series for Muji in 2004.
Mori worked approximately 20 years as a designer for Hakusan. His relationship with Hakusan continued as a consulting designer even after he left the company in 1978.

The bedug (Indonesian and Malaysian ; ; ) is one of the drums used in the gamelan. It is also used among Muslims in Indonesia and Malaysia to signal mosque prayer times. The hitting of the instrument is particularly done according to a rhythm that goes in an increasingly rapid (or accelerando) pace.

Overview

A bedug is a large double-headed drum with water buffalo or cow leather on both ends.

Unlike the more frequently used kendang, the bedug is suspended from a frame and played with a padded mallet. The bedug is as large as or larger than the largest kendang and generally has a deeper and duller sound. The drum has pegs holding the two identical heads in place, similar to the Japanese taiko, and its pitch is not adjustable.

Usage

The bedug is not used in most gamelan performances, although it is included in some Yogyakarta kendang styles. It is used in special ensembles such as the gamelan sekaten, where it takes the place of the kempul. In some pieces it is played along with the kendang, especially to accompany dancing.

The bedug is commonly used in mosques in Java among Javanese and Sundanese people to precede the adhan as a sign for prayer or during Islamic festivals. For example, the sound of a bedug is used to signal the end of the day-long fast during Ramadan and sometimes it is used to signal time for Suhoor during Ramadan. When used to signal time for Friday prayer, the bedug is beaten in a different way than for ordinary prayers.

The bedug is also used to celebrate takbiran, the night before Eid ul-Fitr followings chants of takbir.

The tradition is also known among Sarawakian Malays who know it by the name teter.

Among the Muslim Maranao people of the southern Philippines, a similar and smaller drum is used for announcing prayer times, known as the tabu or tabo.

Time is running out for Senate to approve a House bill to end bulk collection of data.
The following editorial appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Wednesday.
Of all of Edward Snowden's revelations about electronic surveillance by the National Security Agency, the most unsettling was that the government was accumulating vast numbers of records about the telephone calls of American citizens. In May, the House approved a bill that would end the bulk collection of so-called telephone metadata, but time is running out for the Senate to approve a similar — and we hope stronger — version of the legislation.
But the public soon realized that the government possessed information that could reveal a host of details about their daily lives. Eventually, Obama endorsed the recommendation of an advisory review group that the government stop collecting metadata. Instead, such data would remain with telephone companies and be "queried" by the government only with a court order. A query is a search in which a telephone number believed to be associated with a terrorist can be matched to a call in the database.
Acting on his own, Obama has implemented part of that recommendation by agreeing to obtain court approval for searches of telephone records. The so-called USA Freedom Act passed by the House would put into effect the other half of the review group's recommendation by ending the bulk collection and storage of phone records by the government. But last-minute alterations in the House bill, urged by the administration, expanded the definition of the terms the NSA could use in searches of telephone and other records in a way that civil libertarians worried might have allowed the government to circumvent the ban on bulk collection of phone records.
In negotiating with senators on their version of the legislation, the administration has addressed that concern. The intelligence community has agreed to a stricter definition of the search terms. Such an agreement could clear the way for action by the Senate before it begins its August recess and the president's signature on a final bill before the end of the year.
Ending bulk collection of telephone records and writing judicial review into the law wouldn't address all the threats to Americans' privacy revealed by Snowden. Congress also must establish new safeguards for information about Americans "incidentally" collected in electronic surveillance of foreigners living abroad. But it would be an important first step in reestablishing an appropriate and overdue balance between national security and personal privacy.

Q: Overriding certain style in SCSS I would like to add a disclaimer that initially I was thinking to write this in code review but since I won't be able to provide fully working code, I decided that SO would be a better place for this question.
That being said I have a form (more complicated but I think this is enough)
<form class="regular-form">
    First Name
    <input type="text" id="fname" name="firstname" placeholder="Your name..">

    Last Name
    <input type="text" id="lname" name="lastname" placeholder="Your last name..">

    <input type="submit" value="Submit">
</form>

Where .regular-form resides in it's own file regular-form.css.scss and describes common styling for all form on the site. More specifically we have this:
.regular-form {
  ..
  input { width: 100%; }
}

However on some places width: 100% is not fitting well so I need to decrease it, but still maintain a common look & feel on the site, which means that I want the styling applied on the forms that need to be tighter to be the same everywhere.
I solved this problem by introducing new class .small-size and my question is regarding the usage of this new class.
Eventually what I would like is to be able to do this:
<form class="regular-form small-size">

But with my limited knowledge on SASS/scss the only way I can achieve this behavior is by adding the .small-size class inside the regular-form.css.scss file underneath the .regular-form styles like so
.regular-form {
  ..
  input { width: 100%; }
}

.small-size {
  input { width: 50%; }
}

And while that .small-size is placed after .regular-form class I will be able to apply them on the same level. But this relaying on keeping the order like this forever feels like a wrong way to do it. If someone comes at a later point and introduce some changes so that the order is no more preserved, out of the blue the form will look different and I think this is a big minus of this approach.
The second approach that I can think of is nest the .small-size class inside .regular form like so
.regular-form {
  ..
  input { width: 100%; }
  .small-size {
    input { width: 50% }
  }
}

Now I'm more confident that the styles won't break that easily, if someone is changing the styling at later point, he most probably will take into consideration that .small-size is nested and will inspect it's usage, however if I choose this approach the only way that I found so far in order to enforce the .small-size styling is by introducing new
 to the form like so
<form class="regular-form">

    First Name
    ..

</form>

But now I'm changing the existing DOM structure and also make the process of applying the new styling more difficult.
Eventually what I would like to have is nested class like so:
.regular-form {
  ..
  input { width: 100%; }
  .small-size {
    input { width: 50% }
  }
}

And being able to apply it's styling like so
<form class="regular-form small-size">

I know that this somewhat contradicts with the general CSS rules but since I'm writing scss here I was thinking that there may be a way to make this work, or at least something better than the two options that I have right now.

A: One option would be to use the & selector in SASS and nest them like this:
.regular-form {
    input {
        width: 100%;
    }

    &.small-size {
        input {
            width: 50%;
        }
    }
}

That way the .small-size CSS is only applied when it's on the same hierarchy level as the .regular-form selector. This also enable you to keep the HTML as is:
<form class="regular-form small-size">

The theme for this game jam was "Candies", so we thought that it would be a great idea to make a character, Toothy, who is a mouth with feet, and loves eating candies! Best idea ever? Yes, thank you!
The game is a endless runner, with fun and colourful graphics, great sound effects and a simple and addictive gameplay. Avoid obstacles, eat candies, get points (and maybe dizziness), set the next highscore!
The game was developed in 48 hours and it became the seed and the inspiration for our first official game release.

CD Review: Sir Canyon "Ventura Skies"
What happens when you create a sound for your band with various influences like Folk, Rock, Indie Rock, even some influence from the music of Spaghetti Western movie soundtracks? You would think you might end up with a hodgepodge of stuff that doesn't really sound like it would blend well together. However, when it comes to the band Sir Canyon, a band of musicians from Southern California that is led by Noah Lamberth, they have created a style with all of those musical elements that come together rather well to create something that is fresh and unique. That unique blend from Sir Canyon can be found on the band's new album entitled Ventura Skies.
Ventura Skies from Sir Canyon begins with the track "Angeleno Daydream". The first thing you'll notice is the influence of the bass tremolo effect at the beginning of the track that adds a slight Western flavor to the background of the song. On top of that is a flavor to the music that brings to mind the guitar stylings of Santo & Johnny Farina of "Sleepwalk" fame". Together, the two influences help to create a musical blend that adds a lot of depth to the otherwise folk-rock track. The slow pace to the music of the song and the various other elements make for a song that seems to feel both retro and fresh at the very same time.
With how unique the sound of "Angeleno Daydream" is, Sir Canyon continues that uniqueness with the next song of "Cindy Come Over". The track about a blooming relationship comes complete with a rather exotic sound. Featuring a mariachi band feel in the horns at the beginning of the track, "Cindy Come Over" immediately takes the listener in a direction that is completely different from the previous track of "Angeleno Daydream". Along with the horns on the track, the inclusion of bells adds to the exotic feeling to the otherwise Indie-Rock track.
After two tracks that feature an exotic mix of styles, Sir Canyon's Ventura Skies album continues with a more straight-laced feel to the music. The "Golden Days" track features an Indie Rock feel to the music. And while the track may still contain a more unusual musical blend than most straight-out modern Rock and Roll tracks, "Golden Days" features a strong guitar-driven feel that would easily fit on any Modern Rock radio format. And it's the guitars of the track that help to add a lot of energy to the track.
Ventura Skies from Sir Canyon slows down on the track "Grace Grace". While the previous tracks on the album revolve around the strength of electric guitars, it's the acoustic guitar on the "Grace Grace" track that seems to be the focal point of the song. The softer feel of the acoustic guitars help to give the track its driving feel. The inclusion of several swirling electric guitars adds a lot of energy to the track. In fact, while the acoustic guitar is front and center on the track, the electric guitars help to shape the feel of the song.
Sir Canyon keeps a lighter feel to the music going on the track "Everything I Hate About Her". While "Grace Grace" features the acoustic guitar but contains a strong electric feel because of the electric guitars in the song, the easy feel of "Everything I Hate About Her" comes from the acoustic guitar, mandolin and slide guitar on the track. The slower tempo of the track helps give the Ventura Skies album from Sir Canyon a slightly different approach on this track.
The album continues with the title track of the release. "Ventura Skies" is a track that features a laidback feel to the Rock and Roll as the song brings to mind the style of music that the Rock band Fountains of Wayne of "Stacy's Mom" fame has created. That pop-rock sound on the track gives the song a rather commercial feel to the track, making the song one of the standout tracks on the album.
Noah Lamberth and band picks up the energy of the music on the track "Burning Flame". Like the track "Ventura Skies," the band explores a much more conventional Rock and Roll sound on the track. Because of the guitars on the track that bring to mind Rock and Roll songs from the nineties, "Burning Flame" is one of the more commercial tracks on the album. "Burning Flame" is one track that will stick with you long after the album comes to an end.
Throughout the Ventura Skies release from Sir Canyon, Noah Lamberth and band explore many different styles when creating their music. That ever-changing style and feel to the music creates an album that stays strong and never lets you down.
The Ventura Skies release from Sir Canyon will be released on March 2nd, 2018. The band has released the track "Golden Days" before the album comes out.

Pairwise comparison of data vectors represents a large part of computational biology, especially with the continuous increase in genome-wide approaches yielding more information from more biological samples simultaneously. Gene clustering for function prediction as well as analyses of signalling pathways and the time-dependent dynamics of a system are common biological approaches that often rely on large dataset comparison. Different metrics can be used to evaluate the similarity between entities to be compared, such as correlation coefficients and distances. While the latter offers a more flexible way of measuring potential biological relationships between datasets, the significance of any given distance is highly dependent on the dataset and cannot be easily determined. Monte Carlo methods are robust approaches for evaluating the significance of distance values by multiple random permutations of the dataset followed by distance calculation. We have developed R. S. WebTool (http:// rswebtool.kwaklab.org), a user-friendly online server for random sampling-based evaluation of distance significances that features an array of visualization and analysis tools to help non-bioinformaticist users extract significant relationships from random noise in distance-based dataset analyses.

Q: How to structure an embedded mysql query to first select data that matches two columns and then match results to a third column? I have a user password system where I need to 1) check a user password against two potential passwords stored in the database and 2) if a match is found make sure the user email matches the user email stored in the row that had the matching password.
This the current mysql I have to pull the unique user on login:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$u' AND password='$p' OR password_two='$p'";

This works in the vast majority of cases but fails when multiple users have the same passwords    - for example if multiple users have the password '123456'. I'm assuming this is because the AND OR setup I have above is incorrect.
I'm updated the sql query to the statement below:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM (SELECT * FROM users WHERE password='$p' OR password_two='$p') WHERE email = '$u' ";

This query doesn't work for any users - Can someone help me identify where the query is going wrong?

A: If I understand the question correctly, you're looking for:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE email='$u' AND (password='$p' OR password_two='$p')";

Without the parenthesis, it's interpreted as:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE (email='$u' AND password='$p') OR (password_two='$p')";


Color information hex de5d96: RGB percentage, decimal and hexa, CMYK, HSL proportion, color gradient, tints, shades, tons, palettes color and other inspirations!
The color hexa de5d96 is equivalent in RGB decimal 222, 93, 150 is 222 of red, 93 of green and 150 of blue. It can also be represented by the HSL (hue, saturation and lightness) parameters, which are 0.926 of hue (92), 0.662 of saturation (66) and 0.618 of lightness (61).

Q: How to interpolate tmux variable in .tmux.conf? How to interpolate a variable that was created inside .tmux.conf to be used for a longer command?
I have this in .tmux.conf:
# show window name if set by user
WINDOW_NAME='#{?#{==:#{window_name},#{pane_current_command}},#{pane_current_command},[#{window_name}]:#{pane_current_command}}'

set -g window-status-format $WINDOW_NAME
set -g window-status-current-format $WINDOW_NAME

Now this works fine, as in it shows the window status plus the current window name, but I would like to interpolate this variable something like this:
set -g window-status-format '$WINDOW_NAME > #{=21:pane_title}'
however it does not work, and instead of interpreting the variable it just shows $WINDOW_NAME > user@ip-10...
Assuming the current command was ssh the expected result would be ssh > user@ip-10...

Iconic Italian name revived for Pininfarina Battista show car in Geneva
Eric C. Evarts March 5, 2019 Comment Now!
With an infusion of cash from Indian auto giant Mahindra, storied Italian automaker Pininfarina is branching out on its own with a new all-electric hypercar.
The company has shared some of its motivation for the relaunch, and teased sketches and photos of the car repeatedly, but finally revealed the actual car Monday night ahead of the Geneva auto show.
The Battista will have 1,900 horsepower, and 1,696 pound-feet of torque from four electric motors, mounted inboard at each wheel, enabling the sprint from 0-62 mph (100-km/h) in less than 2 seconds, faster than a Formula 1 car, the company claims.
READ THIS: Storied Pininfarina to launch new line of exotic electric cars
With performance like that, range isn't the Battista's forte, though it still manages an estimated 280 miles from its 120-kilowatt-hour battery pack, mounted down the spine of the car and behind the cockpit, rather than flat under the floor. Pininfarina executives explained last year that they couldn't mount the seats low enough to give drivers the "low-center of gravity feel" they expected from such a hypercar with the battery underneath.
The battery and powertrain come from Croatian startup electric carmaker Rimac and are fitted into a carbon fiber body with aluminum crash structures at each end.
The company did not specify the charging speed, but did note that the charge port on the rear of the car pulses with light to indicate the state of charge, and that they expect most owners to charge the car at home.
CHECK OUT: Pininfarina's Italian design may be good Karma for plug-in carmaker
The Battista, named after the founder of the Pininfarina design house, is the first car from the brand to wear its name. The company has a long history as an independent designer, penning and even building cars for Ferrari, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Maserati, Peugeot, and even Cadillac, but it has never built its own car before (save for a brief continuation of the Fiat 124 Spyder in 1979 and 1980.)
Company founder Battista "Pinin" (little) Farina, who later changed his last name to Pininfarina, dreamed of the company one day producing its own car. His grandson Paolo now runs the design house, which was purchased by Mahindra in 2015. Last year they decided to give Battista his dream, forming a new auto company to build its own cars.
Following a run of only 150 Battistas starting in 2020, Pininfarina also plans to build an electric SUV.
"It no longer works to launch an aspirational brand with a gas engine," said Pininfarina CEO Michael Perschke, in an interview with Green Car Reports last year. "You have to start in the 21st Century."

KOKKURI (1997) weak but sexiful ghost story
(1997, Japan, Kokkuri-San)
Region 1 NTSC DVD (Asia-Vision/Urban-Vision)
Can't say that I enjoyed this much. The supernatural element was too slight, and the drama too low-budget. It was highly reminiscent of the Korean Whispering Corridors films, but centred on boyfriends, instead of the girls' relationships with each other. A love triangle gets mixed up in a truth game disguised as a ouija-type summoning of a spirit.
As usual the Japanese get hung up on the exact nature of the rules of the ghost-summoning, rather than talk examine their relationships and misunderstandings.
The sexual element was unusually explicit, setting this apart from most Japanese horror films. The nudity also made this a more realistic teenage drama, when most mainstream dramas barely show romantic couples touching, let alone kissing.
The dramatic ploy of having one of the girls hosting a radio show, playing recordings of distressed listeners, seemed all too far-fetched. None of the adult radio producers in the studio intervene when it's all going wrong, and one of them is her elder sister! The use of reel-to-reel decks giveaway the fact that the film is 10 years old.
The DVD picture is quite soft, and seemed to be off an old analogue master, complete with tape creases, rather than digital faults, and the letterbox was non-anamorphic, also a sign that it's a pre-digital master. Despite being a US release, the subtitle translations seemed to be quite loose, making the plot more confusing than it should have been.

Interview: Brodie Maguire – Mother Vulture
Interview: Greg Dean of Waking The Angels
Interview: Ryan Hamilton
Interview: Ben Metzner – dArtagnan/Feuerschwanz
Incendiary South West of England outfit Mother Vulture describes themselves as "Hectic Blues Punk with a live show so chaotic it will leave you with horrific injuries. For fans of being happy, achieving your dreams and not dying." – what's not to like about that? Need more convincing? Then check out current single 'Rabbit Hole', and maybe splash out on a lottery ticket to get you and a friend into an upcoming gig for £5.00. You will definitely be a winner one way or another if you do. Guitarist Brodie Maguire checks in below with an update on the tour and what you can expect if you buy a ticket.
Apologies for stating the bleeding obvious, but it must have been a sickener having to pull out of appearing at Bloodstock because of COVID…
Absolutely, yes. Missing Bloodstock was a killer as that would have been something special. But, life goes on, and we have a tour lined up for September so we will make the most of that.
Indeed it is a busy time in the Mother Vulture camp, new single 'Rabbit Hole' has just been released, it's a bit of a banger, isn't it! Really catchy…
It kind of naturally ended up with a hookier chorus, maybe more than we usually do…
Is it a track that you had kicking around for some time before recording it?
We had it on the back burner for a while, and that's always been the way with us. We like to go out on the road and play new material before we record it because once you get onstage they turn into very different songs. So we initially recorded it and demoed it at Abbey Road…
Just casually dropping that into the conversation, eh!
Yes! We did some work for them at Rockfield Studios and they invited us down to Abbey Road for a three-day residency where we helped out some of their students, and we ended up recording it there. We got a vibe that it was a pretty good track and we spent the last year or so just working on it…didn't get the chance to play it live though, which was a shame.
Rockfield Studios, followed by Abbey Road, that must have been a buzz!
Yes! We've been going to Rockfield for quite a while now so it's a second home to us, and they are so lovely there and great to deal with. Abbey Road can be quite intimidating, it's a different universe! While we were there they were also doing a Star Wars soundtrack I think, and after we were in, Biffy Clyro was in for a week's session or something like that. Obviously, with it being a tourist destination, there is always a group of people waiting outside the gates with cameras at the ready, and no matter who you are, if you look like you are in a band then you are having your picture taken by about 40 people!
'Rabbit Hole' has an incredible video accompanying it, part of a series that began with 'Tell Me', and continued with 'The Wave'…
We don't like to take ourselves too seriously! A lot of rock and metal bands have this dark and serious vibe about them, and as much as we are a band…we act like a comedy act at times!
The videos are a bit more than the bog-standard lip-synching in a rehearsal room, who came up with the stories? And will there be more, or is a trilogy enough?
We have a few more in mind, but we aren't sure if we will stop them where they are or carry on. There probably will be some sort of theme that carries on throughout all of them, but once we finish up what we are working on then we will have more of an idea.
There's a great bit in the video for 'Tell Me', where your bassist Chris gets his head slammed onto a desk…please tell me that took multiple takes!
[Laughs] Yes! It's kind of ended up being a running theme in our videos that Chris gets hurt! He gets his head smacked onto the table in 'Tell Me', and in 'The Wave' he gets a cone thrown at him! And he's all for it! We tried to do it half-arsed, and make it more like tossing the cone at him and pushing his head onto the table, but he said…" no, you've got to do it harder, just actually do it…". There are no stunt doubles, we just get in there and do it, so if it looks like it hurt – then it did!
Nowadays when a video appears on YouTube the tendency is to have it on in the background while you are doing something else, but with your videos…you pay attention, and they hold the attention. So, job done!
I'm a bit of a movie fanatic, and I'm really into music videos and making them as good as the songs, as much as I can. Unless someone is going to watch them, then there is no point making music videos. The funny thing is, we were still in lockdown when we were making these videos, and we made 'The Wave' and 'Rabbit Hole' in one day. And because of the lockdown, we didn't really have anywhere to go, so we went back to the same place that we did 'Tell Me' and because of that, we had to come up with a theme that involved the same location.
Usually, when we speak to a guitarist the question arises "Fender or Gibson?", but with yourself, the answer is neither because you are a Gretsch man! Where did the Gretsch attraction come from?
So, I was playing in a little rock & roll band and I was using a Fender Telecaster, well the lead singer was a real hard-arse and he said: "If you want to play rock & roll, then you need to get yourself a Gretsch". I always had a Gretsch, but it was only a cheap £200 one, so I went down to the guitar shop and tried out another one, one of the mid-range models, and nothing was really ringing my bell. I tried a green sparkly one and within ten seconds it was the nicest guitar that I had ever played. It was a weird moment because I thought; "wow, I didn't realise that guitars could be this nice!"…so I bought it. It was about £2,500, I didn't have the money so I took out a loan, and then I used it in the rock & roll band for a while, and then I gave it a go at a Mother Vulture gig, and yeah, it was the sound that I was looking for in the band, and that was it really! I did think that it was really ugly, the green sparkly one, but now it has grown on me! Gretsch did get in touch and offered to hook us up, so now I have a pink one!
Mother Vulture have an incredible reputation as a fiery live act, with that in mind, it must have been very tough being unable to play live for so long?
You've absolutely hit the nail on the head! We record music because that is what we are meant to do, we make music videos to complement the music, but if it was up to us then all we would do is go out and play live shows. It was ridiculous even thinking about how we were going to push forward, which is why we did the live album and we never intended to release that at all. We were a few months or two into not being able to leave the house, and we thought…" hang on, let's release the live album!…that will keep the flames going until we can get back out on the road…"…and 18 months later we are finally getting back out on tour!
It must have been humbling that the live album sold out?
Yeah, we only did a small run of 100 copies but the speed that it sold out at, was humbling. People that know us, know that our reputation is based on our live performance, and as soon as people knew that we were not going to be able to do that anymore, then it was nice that everyone came together and showed us some support. We put it out at a minimal charge, but it meant that when we started to go back out on the road that we could put some new tyres on the van!
What was the first gig back like?!
Well, it was a chance for us to let loose after such a long time! When we played The Yard in Truro with Orange Goblin, Chris had COVID so we had to play as a trio, and that was frustrating, our first run of dates back after so long and we didn't have a bassist for five gigs! But we made it work.
Judging by the images from The Yard, you certainly did "make it work"! I'm curious though, given that you spend so much energy on stage: what are you like leading up to the set, and immediately afterward?
We all have our own ways of dealing with it; Matt [drums] is the most chilled out person ever, so he is ready to go whenever, in the best possible way he doesn't care, and when he gets on stage he just lets himself go. Georgi? Well, he's the vocalist so he's a bit of a diva! But me, I just get stressed out, man! When we play our own shows then usually I'm having to run around dealing with the management side, making sure that the other bands playing have everything that they need, that kind of thing, so by the time that we get on stage I'm like…" Okay, let's get this done and then it's breaking everything down again, and the night is over!"…
How long does it take you to come down after a show?
Ideally, it would take about ten hours, but being that almost every time after a show we have to start packing everything down immediately, then it is pretty difficult. If it was up to us, the second we stopped playing…we would collapse! It's funny because once you stop playing, you have to try and keep that buzz going until you are in the van because otherwise, you would just crash out. You are always pretty sore the next day, we've done two shows this weekend and I am feeling it now! Ironically, the more that you do it, the more used to the pain you get! We have 23 gigs in the next 26 days, and pretty much all of these shows are one after the other.
Well, on the official Mother Vulture Facebook page, you do self-describe as "Hectic Blues Punk with a live show so chaotic it will leave you with horrific injuries."…that's pretty apt!
We certainly do live up to that description!
The tour kicks off in Brighton on September 6th, and it's part of The National Lottery's "Revive Live" Tour, tickets are £5.00 and if punters show a National Lottery ticket then they can get someone in for free? That's a great deal…
Yes, I wouldn't consider ourselves a corporate entity, so it is strange being involved with such big companies. The Music Venue Trust has teamed up with the lottery to put tours on, and even though we are an unsigned band, we've managed to blag a tour with them. And through the funding, they've made touring possible for the first time in ages. Don't get me wrong, we would have been able to get out there regardless, but it wouldn't have been as secure, I mean…Louder are on board, Marshall Amps are onboard. We will be taking every precaution that we can because we don't want to be pinged.
Sales pitch time, what can someone expect when they come to one of the shows in September?
We have got some awesome support acts booked: we've got El Moono, Moriaty, iDestroy, and Krooked Tongue out with us on different dates. It's all rock music but it is quite eclectic, we've got grunge, we've got heavy riffs, and a bit of punk, but the main thing is that all the bands on this tour are hand-selected to be chock-full of energy, so ears will be ringing, and there is going to be electricity coming off of that stage!
Tickets for the tour are just £5 and all ticketholders can bring one friend for free/the price of a lottery ticket, courtesy of the Music Venue Trust's National Lottery-backed 'Revive Live!' scheme to get the grassroots live scene back on its feet.
All you need to do to qualify for this offer is to show that you are a National Lottery player, simply by showing a National Lottery Ticket or Scratchcard purchased in-store or online/via The National Lottery app when you attend the gig.

Excited for the eighth season of Game of Thrones? So are we! Check out our predictions of how the beloved (and brutal) series might end.
Game of Thrones' eighth and final season is set to premiere on HBO this Sunday, April 14th. Fans across the globe (myself included!) are eager to tune in and watch the final six episodes of the epic journey set in Westeros. A lot of eyes are on showrunners, David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, to bring the series to a satisfying conclusion and complete the story writer George R.R. Martin began back in 1996.
The awaited return of Game of Thrones begins in a few short days. Now's the best time to go through a few predictions of how this incredible story may end.
If you're thinking about hosting a Game of Thrones house party, be sure to check out Walmart Canada for cool supplies like Game of Thrones mugs, Game of Thrones cookie stamps, and a Game of Thrones silicon cake pan. Why not also warm up the guests pre-show with a game of Monopoly Game of Thrones!
All right, now let's have some prediction fun!
Season seven left us with Jon Snow and Daenerys forming an allegiance to combat the Night King's army of the dead as they cross The Wall. As the book series is titled A Song of Ice and Fire, the obvious prediction would be that Daenerys and Jon (who is now revealed to be Targaryen and nephew to Daenerys) are both the fire to the White Walker's ice. Season 8 will likely culminate in the long-awaited war to ensure that Westeros does not succumb to the Long Night again.
Jon and Daenerys have two dragons at their disposal, and the houses that support the Stark and Targaryen banners. They have a good shot of protecting Winterfell from the White Walkers, cutting down the Night King and the now undead Viserion—a dragon formerly under Daenerys' control. Though, you have to imagine plenty of our favourite characters will meet their untimely end during this epic battle; this is Game of Thrones after all! If I could make a plea to Benioff and Weiss, please let Tormund live, he's always been a personal favourite of mine.
Though season seven saw a budding romance between Jon and Daenerys, odds are it can't last. They are, as we've discovered, blood relatives. With that in mind, Jon could go on to lead Winterfell as the King in the North, while Daenerys could move on to lead her army to King's Landing or back to Dragonstone.
The Night King is not the only antagonist Westeros has to deal with. In season seven, Cersei unveiled her plan to let the Northern armies fight the White Walkers alone with no support from King's Landing. In Cersei's eyes, this will put King's Landing and her ally, The Golden Company, in a strong position to wipe out her remaining adversaries and continue to occupy the Iron Throne.
Valonqar is High Valyrian for little brother and likely was omitted to not spoil a possible future event. Both Jamie and Tyrion have their reasons for wanting to end Cersei's reign of terror, so Season 8 could have some shocking betrayals.
In a horrible twist of fate, perhaps the worst of the worst claims Westeros for himself—The Night King. While an ending such as this will likely upset a few fans, Game of Thrones has never shied away from offering grim twists and turns!
The Night King's Army of the Dead is certainly powerful enough to overrun the Westeros armies and claim the Iron Throne himself. A popular fan theory is Bran Stark himself is the Night King! Using his powers as the Three-Eyed Raven, Bran may "warg" through time into the First Man as he's being turned into the Night King. As the former Three-Eyed Raven told Bran: "it's beautiful beneath the sea. Stay too long and you'll drown." This warning could foreshadow Bran's attempts to stop the creation of the Night King, and while doing so, he may become trapped in that time.
Seeing the popular Stark child turned into the Night King would be devastating, after all, thus far he's been a strong, positive force. Having him take the throne, leaving Westeros under his rule would be even more tragic! Like it or not, this would be a very Game of Thrones move.
There a very few remaining characters truly worthy of sitting on the Iron Throne. Arguably, the most deserving is Sansa Stark. Her character arc has shown that she's a hardened and capable leader for Westeros. How many characters can say they've survived the torment of nasty rulers like Joffrey and Ramsay—and ended up stronger? Without a doubt, she has proved to be smart and cunning.
In the scenario where Jon and Danny confront the White Walkers, Sansa can seize the moment by taking the northern armies to King's Landing herself. With Arya, Brienne of Tarth, and her other allies by her side, she could very well stop Cersei. As for Jon, he's shown very little interest in becoming king in seven seasons, so he might feel at home settling in back at Winterfell. Daenerys, who lost so much in her effort to reclaim Westeros may decide her efforts are better spent back in Dragonstone or Meereen. That would leave Sansa free to rule the Iron Throne, a position she's rightfully earned. Her long-awaited victory may call for some celebatory wine!
This one is a big 'what if'. It would be hard to picture Game of Thrones ending without someone sitting on the throne, but it's a scenario we can't rule out. Swerving us is what the show is all about! Imagine if after the White Walker army has been put to rest, Daenerys, Jon, and company take to King's Landing to destroy not only the Red Keep but the Iron Throne itself. It's not as far-fetched as it might seem: Jon and Daenerys have seen that throne produce nothing but misery and terror.
Forged by the swords of Aegon I Targaryen's enemies, the Iron Throne is a large, ominous centrepiece that's perhaps not easily destroyed. That is of course unless you're Daenerys who happens to have two dragon's whose breath could melt iron in a flash! The show may have foreshadowed this event when Daenerys had a vision where the Red Keep and the throne were demolished in season two.
Leaving Westeros without a throne would mean all nine regions would likely rule on their own. What better way of ushering a new age in Westeros than to break the binds that have held many down for so long!
It will be bittersweet to say goodbye to all these characters. As you can probably tell, I'm extremely excited to have more Game of Thrones in my life! It will be interesting to see how this incredible story ends. With only six episodes left, we won't have to wait long. Happy viewing!

The case can be thrown out in very rare occasions. This could happen if you can show that your mortgage was mis-sold, or that you entered into the mortgage agreement as a result of an unfair relationship, undue influence or misrepresentation from the lender or mortgage broker. This is quite a complicated area of law so you should seek legal advice if you believe that your mortgage difficulties are a result of one of the above.
taking bad advice on financial decisions.
Before you go to court, you should speak to a specialist mortgage debt adviser who can give you an idea of what is likely to happen at the court hearing.
If you can't agree how much you owe to your lender, the Master may adjourn the case and set a new hearing date. This gives you and your lender time to get more information to prove the amount of arrears. The lender may have to provide proof that payments have been missed and you will need to show proof that you have made payments. In the meantime, you should continue to negotiate with your lender and make payments to reduce the arrears.
If all the arrears have been cleared by the time of the court hearing, the case should be dismissed or adjourned generally. However, you may still have to pay your lender's legal costs for bringing the case to court.
If your lender doesn't complete the particulars of claim correctly, the judge may not allow them to present any new information at the hearing. In rare circumstances, the claim may be dismissed and the lender will have to reapply to the court to evict you. You should not have to pay their legal costs. However, the court normally allows clerical errors to be amended.
Your lender needs to be able to prove that you took out the mortgage or secured loan and that you actually owe this money.
The court may also look at your agreement if the terms were extortionate. This doesn't just look at the amount of interest you were charged but examines all the terms and your personal circumstances when you signed the agreement.

Blackface must always be out of fashion
Fashion houses Prada and Gucci and superstar Katy Perry have all been called out for harking back to dated, offensive blackface in their designs.
It's a line that's almost difficult to write. How is this still a thing? Blackface is inherently offensive. Its origins are in minstrel shows in the late nineteenth century where white actors would use grease paint on their faces as a way to depict black people. Vox.com's Jeneé Desmond-Harris notes these weren't flattering representations. Instead they were mocking portrayals, reinforcing an idea that African-Americans were in every way inferior.
Using these depictions AT ALL EVER is, at best, thoughtless. At worst, deeply offensive. For Gucci, controversy has raged over a "balaclava knit" which covers the wearers face in black and creates broad red lips. For, Katy Perry, a pair of shoes with big lips and a broad nose. Prada had figurines at their New York store which were clearly inappropriate.
There are many layers to this story but essentially, it's about participation.
How to make a victory out of a disaster
How did these designs get through development and manufacture in these huge and PR-hungry companies without someone spotting the huge, obvious, error? The makeup and cartoonish use of dark skin, wide noses, and full lips are things that the black American community struggles with. They still cause pain to this day.
From a PR perspective, these stories are disastrous. From a human perspective, even worse. Who was at the table planning these collections? We know that better cultural representation is essential to successful teams. And clearly, good decision-making.
The importance of participation
The answer to how this happened is equal parts simple and sad: there are just not enough people who might be offended by these products employed by these brands. Chimmy Lawson reminds us that it's easy to see a big-lipped shoe as a nod to modern art when you're not black. It seems simple. Experiences shape perceptions. Diversity brings important insight to the table.
Now, it's easy to look over the headline and wonder how companies could have overlooked the issues here. "Wouldn't happen on my watch," you can say as you smugly finish your half-cold coffee. But if the decision was made in the UK, in your own office, would our teams fare better?
In 2015, one in eight of the working age population in the UK came from a black, minority or ethnic (BME) background. Yet BME individuals make up only 10% of the workforce and held only 6% of top management positions. We already know that top-performing companies in racial and ethnic diversity are over a third more likely to have financial returns above their industry average. If BME talent is fully utilised in the UK alone, the economy could receive a £24 billion boost.
Gucci has responded to the wave of distaste in their sweater by announcing scholarships to help increase different communities within the creative office. Prada has created a diversity council to elevate voices of colour within the company, and fashion more widely. These are all important steps. And we support them on that. Seriously though, how on earth could that possibly have happened? Do better.

Amazon bringing original premium games to iOS
Posted by Elias Saba on March 6, 2015 — 3 Comments
Amazon Game Studios has announced that they will be releasing four of their original premium mobile games to the iPhone and iPad. This is a change from their previous efforts which focused only on games for Android, which were often exclusive to Amazon hardware, like the Fire TV only game Sev Zero. Existing games Tales From Deep Space and To-Fu Fury will be among the four released. Additionally, two games currently in development, the haunted adventure game Til Morning's Light and horror game Lost Within will also make their way to iOS devices. No release date has been set for any of the four titles.
Exclusive games have not been attracting customers to Amazon hardware the same way exclusive content has been working to grow Amazon's Prime membership. The runaway success of the Fire TV Stick, as proven by Amazon's inability to keep the device in stock, over the Fire TV is just one example that consumers are willing to give up premium gaming in exchange for lower cost hardware. This platform expansion to iOS will allow Amazon's game developer team to reach a wider audience and grant them the opportunity to prove they can make great gaming experiences.

nyder says:
I think the problem with Amazon and games are is the lack of space you have to install them if you have an unroot AFTV.
The Xcom game that came out. I had to do a system reset/wipe to install the game on my AFTV (before I had a HD hooked up). It needed every little spare bit it could grab just to install. GTA:SA takes up a few gigs, the Oddessy game does, a racing game takes up about a gig.
Amazon needs to update their software to allow mounting/installing programs to usb devices, otherwise there is no point in anyone doing big games or even exclusive games for them.
magister says:
I agree. I cannot install anything large on the fire TV along with xbmc/kodi. Oddworld literally took over the device.
Now I have it downloaded to my ouya, which allows for games to be stored over USB.
On another note, Amazon has not even released all these games for ALL fire devices. Some are exclusive to phones or tablets. Why are they keeping exclusives away from their own games device?
Dave D says:
Totally agree there. Out of all the Amazon Game Studios releases (http://games.amazon.com/games/) so far only Sev Zero is available for the Fire TV. What the heck! One of the big perks of this device was it's gaming capability, yet Amazon's own studio isn't designing the games for the Fire TV, only Android/Kindle tablets & phones, and now IOS. Doesn't make sense.
As with the other comments, the Fire TV needs expandable USB memory, without rooting or modding. Downloading more extensive games like The Walking Dead, The Wolf Among Us, etc. results in filling up most of the devices storage. You basically have to play one game, finish it, and delete it before you can play/download another one. Hopefully this issue will be one of the next to be addressed. In the meantime I'll game on my PS4!

Elekta's MLCi2 multileaf collimator helps achieve a fine balance between the delivery of high doses to the target and reduced dose to healthy tissues outside of the target volume. MLCi2, which provides low integral dose even when using advanced delivery techniques, is driven by Elekta's fully integrated digital control system.
Unlike non-digital systems, there is no lag in the transmission of information, ensuring continuous verification and accurate placement of all leaves. This allows faster, safer and more accurate delivery than non-digital systems.
The active leakage reduction mechanism in the Elekta MLCi2, uses diaphragms in both directions to automatically track the trailing leaf, thus reducing transmission. This feature plays a valuable role in reducing integral dose to the patient and therefore reducing the risk of induced secondary cancer.

Q: Href multiple images inside of an SVG? So, I am trying to link three images that are all inside of the same SVG but they all have different links.
I tried wrapping this code:
<g id="Group_624" data-name="Group 624" transform="translate(-962 -1111.615)">
<rect id="TestEd_Logo_Inline" width="493.368" height="149.913" transform="translate(962 1111.615)" fill="url(#pattern)"/>
<rect id="linguaskill_logo" width="245" height="43" transform="translate(962 1315)" fill="url(#pattern-2)"/>
<rect id="cambridgelogoinline" width="219" height="37" transform="translate(1238 1318)" fill="url(#pattern-3)"/>

With this:
<a xlink:href="{link}"></a>

To no avail, I also tried wrapping each 'id' with the a tag to no avail either.

An excellent perspective by Team 26 leader Monte Frank.
Just two weeks ago, a gunman entered a school in Georgia with an AK-47and began shooting. An Australian baseball player was senselessly murdered in Oklahoma City. Elementary schools in Colorado hold drills where five-year-old kids hunker down behind tables while an "active shooter" knocks at the door. Just this week, Colorado voters ejected in recall elections two state senators who had sponsored new gun control laws in the wake of the Aurora cinema mass shooting. And the grim parade of gun violence in our cities marches on.
This madness must end – and it will when Congress stops ignoring the will of the American people and makes our nation and the entire world safer by passing common-sense and constitutional gun safety measures. The vast majority of Americans, including gun owners, agree on what needs to be done to cure our gun violence epidemic, which will not only save lives, but spare America from embarrassment in the world.
They cannot expect not to have any criticism of it worldwide … I am angry because it is corrupting the world, this gun culture of the United States.
Indeed,the US has six times the gun death rate of other first world countries. This is not the America our founding fathers envisioned.
At our nation's birth on 4 July 1776, our founding fathers endowed Americans with "certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness". Those overarching rights are being eroded by the proliferation of gun violence.
Look no further than the elementary school down the road from me in Sandy Hook, and ask: is the desire to purchase any gun whatsoever without a background check more important than the life of a six-year-old child? Or 20 children and six teachers, for that matter? Is it more important than enacting a strong anti-trafficking law to shut down the "iron pipeline" into our cities? Does this desire justify trying to recall two state senators in Colorado who voted for background checks, high-capacity magazine limits, and restricting domestic violence offenders from purchasing guns? Most gun owners would say no. A loud minority says yes.
Let's ignore this vocal fringe group, some of whom openly advocate treason (in violation of article 3 section 3 of the constitution). Instead, Americans must come together to call for Congress to put politics aside and pass common-sense measures that the majority of Americans, including gun owners, support.
First, the gun safety movement is not about "grabbing" guns. We appreciate traditional American gun culture grounded in hunting and shooting sports. We are not looking to take away any guns except the military-style weapons that were covered by Senator Dianne Feinstein's assault weapons bill and high-capacity magazines.
These measures do not impact hunting and shooting sports. An AR-15 with a 30-round magazine is not necessary to kill a deer; it's a military-style weapon meant to kill many people quickly. It has consistently been the weapon of choice for mass shootings. It does not belong on our streets, in our schools, or in our movie theaters.
We literally dodged a bullet a couple weeks ago at an elementary school in Georgia. Will we be so fortunate the next time a mentally disabled person shows up at a school? What if it were your kid's school?
First, we need to ban military-style weapons and 30-round magazines, so that when the next unstable individual slips through the cracks in our healthcare system, their ability to access an assault weapon won't be easier than buying a beer.
Second, the measures being sought in Congress do not include a national gun registry. This should allay the fears of gun owners. The recent set of bills, which a majority in the Senate supported, expressly outlawed a national registry. Besides, the NRA already maintains a national gun owner registry.
Third, gun reform advocates are not seeking to eliminate or revise the second amendment. Just as the right to free speech under the first amendment is not unlimited under the constitution, reasonable restrictions on gun ownership are also constitutional. You can neither falsely yell "fire" in a crowded theater, nor carry a bazooka into one.
[T]he right was not a right to keep and carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever and for whatever purpose … nothing in our opinion should be taken to cast doubt on longstanding prohibitions on the possession of firearms by felons and the mentally ill, or laws forbidding the carrying of firearms in sensitive places such as schools and government buildings, or laws imposing conditions and qualifications on the commercial sale of arms.
The loud minority of gun rights proponents refuse to recognize these limitations on the second amendment. Ironically, in states like Missouri, they are also pushing "nullification" of the relatively weak federal gun control laws we do have – even though those efforts subvert the constitution itself.
Fourth, a federal anti-trafficking bill that includes real penalties for "straw buyers"is imperative, since firearms are being transported through many states. A strong bill will dry up the "iron pipeline", the supply of cheap and plentiful firearms into our cities.
Finally, universal background checks would help reduce the risk of a firearm ending up in the hands of a criminal, a person affected by mental illness, or a terrorist. Currently, under federal law, a person on our terrorist watchlist can buy the Bushmaster AR-15 – the weapon used at both the Sandy Hook elementary school and at the Aurora movie theater – in a private transaction, without any questions being asked.
Moreover, many gun owners want to know that if they sell their firearm, the buyer is not on the terrorist watchlist or is not a felon. For these and other reasons, the majority of gun owners support the enactment of universal background checks. We should demand that our elected officials support universal background checks and refuse to tolerate the pro-gun lobby's efforts to subvert those wishes because they want to sell more guns.
These are the common-sense measures being sought. They will save lives and help transform our nation into the one envisaged by its founders, of peace, hope and love.
Then, we could return our schools, neighborhoods and theaters to the safe havens of our childhoods. Since 14 December 2012, Americans have awoken to the gun violence epidemic, and are speaking out. New groups, such as the Newtown Action Alliance, Moms Demand, Team 26, Sandy Hook Promise, United Physicians of Newtown and others have united with older coalition members – from the country lanes of Newtown, to the college classrooms of Virginia Tech, and to the inner cities of Hartford, Newburgh, Baltimore and Chicago – to take back the US and to achieve greater gun safety.
This is the "Connecticut effect". We are silent no more.


Popeye made his debut in 1929 in the New York Journal-America (far left). Here's how the character has changed over 90 years along with his love, Olive, who is turning 100 this year.
Popeye the Sailor turns 90 on Thursday, January 17.
In honor of his birthday, artists are creating their own Popeye comic strips, which will be featured on ComicsKingdom.com all year long.
INSIDER is exclusively debuting five comic strips from artists including Liniers and Erica Henderson ("The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl").
Before Popeye was a cartoon on TV or portrayed by Robin Williams in the 1980 movie, the character first appeared in King Features' "The Thimble Theatre" strip in 1929. At the end of each comic, Popeye creator E.C. Segar started sharing fan art from readers in what was called, "Popeye's Cartoon Club."
In honor of Popeye's 90th birthday (January 17), King Features is bringing the cartoon club back with cartoonists all over the world creating strips of their own featuring the tattooed sailor and his friends. Starting Thursday (Popeye's Birthday), new comics will appear each Sunday on ComicsKingdom.com here.
INSIDER is exclusively debuting five of the new Popeye-inspired comic strips from Argentine cartoonist Liniers, Eisner-winning artist Erica Henderson, and more.
Netflix's "Queer Eye" gang come in to give Popeye a makeover in Lar deSouza's strip, but things take an unexpected turn.
Popeye may be 90, but according to the "Queer Eye" gang, he's still trendy.
You can check out more of deSouza's work here and follow him on Twitter here.
Argentine cartoonist Ricardo Siri, aka Liniers, used Popeye's burger-loving pal Wimpy to introduce the character to the world of emojis.
The name Liniers comes from one of Siri's ancestors.
Why you should know Liniers: The artist is known for the South American strip Macanudo, which roughly translates to "everything's fine." He has also had his work on the cover of the New Yorker, including this 2014 item on Obama.
Why Liniers wanted to make a Popeye strip: "I'm a big fan of Segar's world and felt I was a garage band covering The Beatles. Hanging around with those characters for a couple of days was a dream come true."
You can check out more of Linier's work here and follow him on Instagram here.
It's not just Popeye's birthday. His girlfriend, Olive Oyl, is turning 100 this year. Artist Erica Henderson brings back Olive's first love, Ham Gravy.
Henderson imagines Popeye and Olive Oyl as a famous couple trying to avoid paparazzi.
Why you should know Henderson: The Eisner-winning artist rebooted Marvel's "The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl," which she worked on for three years. In 2018, Henderson left to focus on other projects and will be releasing an action-comedy, "Assassin Nation," with writer Kyle Starks in March with Image and Skybound.
Henderson on the inspiration behind her strip: "Like anything this old, Popeye has had many incarnations and since this is a celebration of all of it, I really wanted to reach back and remind people of the crazy origin of Popeye where Popeye didn't even exist yet," Henderson told INSIDER.
You can learn about more of Henderson's work here and follow her on Instagram here.
Artist Jay Fosgitt brought Popeye back to his spinach-loving roots in his comic.
Fosgitt says he's been a fan of Popeye since he was four.
Why you should know Jay Fosgitt: The Michigan-based artist regularly writes and draws his own comic "Dead Duck." He's also a Marvel Comics artist who has worked on "Deadpool" and "Rocket Raccoon and Groot."
Why Fosgitt wanted to make a Popeye strip: "At age four, as I sat in daycare watching an old reel to reel of various black and white shorts, I experienced my first Popeye cartoon — "I Ski Love-ski You-ski." From that moment, I was as hooked on Popeye as he was on Spinach," said Fosgitt. "He has always been my favorite cartoon character, and getting to write and draw for him is a true childhood dream come true. With my comic, I wanted to tap into Popeye's comic strip origins, and hopefully tell story that was as quick and funny as a Fleischer Brother's cartoon, and as character and plot driven as a Segar Strip—a melding of the best aspects of Popeye and his world!"

Cartoonist Carol Lay also puts the spotlight on Olive Oyl as another woman eyes up her man.
Olive Oyl and Popeye have been together for decades.
Why you should know Carol Lay: Lay's weekly comic strip "Story Minute" ran for 20 years in newspapers, including LA Weekly. You can now read it online here. Lay has also worked for both DC and Marvel Comics and has had her work in The New York Times, The New Yorker and Entertainment Weekly.
