Ġenn on not playing Rebellion, Malta and a move to UK
Brighton's Ġenn have been making waves recently, their recent single Duda Dance was one of the Highlights from the Rebellion Introducing Stage CD, so we wanted to find out what was happening.
Brighton based, but with roots in Malta, Ġenn were one of the stand out bands on a trawl around the annual Rebellion Introducing Stage CD for 2020.
Even with no festival this year, Rebellion released the CD anyway. And we're glad they did. It's a proper mish mash of a different set of styles and bands, but who all share a similar attitude.
As we said the other day, there wasn't a great deal of point in attempting to review the CD, because it will mean different things to each listener.
But we picked out a few tracks that caught our ear and sought a chat with a few of the bands that made them.
Ġenn were happy to talk and we caught up with drummer, Sofia and bass player, Lea to find out what's happening.
Sofia: We're based in Brighton, we're in lockdown. Usually, we would be touring, but with everything that's going on we're just chilling. We've written an EP. With being in different places, we did it all online and then managed to get into a studio as soon as it was open and record the new tracks. That's been our main focus. Just to spend the time we've had recently, to get some new content ready for when everything kicks off again.
P3dro: That's interesting – various people have dealt with lockdown in different ways. Some people have crawled into a corner and gently sobbed. Whereas others have been able to use it quite creatively.
Lea: I think we've done both to be fair. The first half was probably the sobbing. We were trying to write before lockdown, but things always got in the way with gigging and just life in general. And then all this happened, after being overwhelmed and thinking: "How are we gonna do this remotely?" Once we found a system, it just happened and then it feels like a fluke, almost.
Sofia: It's been really nice to do it at a slower pace as well because you see everything piece together slowly, which was really interesting. It's a different approach.
P3dro: So, August would have been Rebellion and you were booked for the Introducing Stage. Have you played Rebellion before?
Lea: No. It was a very big thing. We very much wanted to play last year. We've had our ambitions aimed at Rebellion for a while, but it didn't happen until this year, which makes it sadder.
P3dro: Have you been to Rebellion before?
Lea: Sadly, not.
Sofia: I've known bands that have played, but it would have been a brand new thing for us.
Lea: There are a few people on my online circle that have been religiously and that's where I first heard of it. To see them having such a good time. I wanna be there.
P3dro: Tell us a little bit about the band.
Lea: Ok, I'm gonna see how quickly I can go through this, because it's like, 10 years worth of history. Although Sofia and I are the two who were not there at the beginning. The other two are [Leona and Janelle]. It started as a school project when they were 13. They were supposed to do a rendition of a poem and then they decided to carry on with it. They released some pop / rock type songs that did well within Malta. That went on a for a few years. When I joined, around 2016, we started to travel for, say 4 days at a time, usually doing [gigs in] UK or Spain. Not economical, but as a band we felt it was worth doing.
Then last year we decided and managed to move here in order to better integrate with the UK scene. For two years, we'd been planning it and that's when Sofia came into the picture.
Sofia: I was found on the internet. I had a random message on Facebook. Usually I would probably be a bit more apprehensive than to trust a stranger, but something was telling me that she was telling the truth. I had a message to say "We're looking for a drummer, we're going on tour". I was given a bunch of songs to learn.
So I [did] and went on tour, whilst the other three were still living in Malta. By the next year, when they relocated, I joined the band full time. That was a bit more of an abrupt thing in the scale of the 10 years it had taken them to get to this point.
Lea: Yeah, I would say there was a lot of slow burn. A lot of the history [of the band] is condensed into the last couple of years.
Genn
P3dro: Lockdown must have come at completely the wrong time for you. Your flame was starting to burn quite brightly. You were on the Glastonbury Emerging Stage list and things were happening for you.
Sofia: Yeah, definitely. Last year we were doing a lot of shows, but with the other guys moving here and the stresses of that, settling in to those changes. This year was going to be the year that we could focus on getting ourselves out there. So, it's quite ironic the pandemic happened. But, of course, it's affected everyone. I think we've handled it quite well, considering.
But we're getting ready to go harder when it all gets back.
P3dro: When might we see the EP coming out?
Lea: We're still deciding. With all of this [pandemic] it's posed another question as to how to best plan putting music out for everyone. Normally we would gig to hell and back, because that's just how we do these things. But we have to re-think how to get stuff out to people – new listeners.
We're thinking of releasing a couple of singles before the end of the year, so, that's something and then the EP will probably be early next year.
P3dro: What about gigs? I know you had some coming up with bands like Hands Off Gretel, Menstrual Cramps, Sløtface, Maid of Ace.
Lea: Yeah, it's a cruel irony.
Sofia: Nothing's actually confirmed for any gigs this year. We had a couple that were re-scheduled for October, but now, they're not going ahead. Everything is just up in the air with the live music industry. Pubs are open and there are people flooding out and socialising anyway. But we don't have any real idea of when we'll gig again.
Lea: If we do get a gig, it'll probably be a kind of last minute thing.
P3dro: What's the music scene like in Brighton at the moment? How do you think venues are holding up?
Sofia: It's tough because we do have quite a lot of independent venues in Brighton. When I was living here a few years ago, the punk scene was really thriving. I've noticed over the last few year its really diversified, which I like in a lot of ways, although I don't know if there's a lot more going on, or whether I've just started to notice the different scenes emerging in Brighton.
P3dro: I'm from Liverpool and a few of our small venues have already closed down. What do you think about Brighton? Are venues going to survive?
Sofia: I'm not sure. At the moment, I know a lot of the smaller venues have reached out for help. Hope and Ruin have quite a lot of live music. I've not heard of any actually shutting down yet.
Lea: Yeah, I don't think I've heard of anywhere actually closing yet. There have been calls for fundraising. I'd like to hope that the scene is so closely engaged that we can keep them afloat, at least for a little longer.
Sofia: I also think it's important to [recognise] that Brighton is quite small, so there is a sense of community [here]. A lot of the live venues are also pubs, so at the moment, the community is still in Brighton. In a way that is keeping those places alive. People are going out. Places like Hope and Ruin are selling food, doing the Eat Out To Help Out scheme, so that's helping a few venues as well.
Pipeline also is doing food. Because [Brighton] is smaller and a bit more condensed, probably we're not affected as much as places like London.
P3dro: You mentioned the punk scene in Brighton, is that how you label yourselves? Are you a punk band?
Lea: Yes. I suppose. I would like to think we fit in with the punk scene in terms of people and stylistically, as well. We'd also say, if we're speaking strictly genre-wise, there's a lot of bending so it's worth drawing attention to us. I remember from a Manchester [gig] where we played a show and someone [in the audience] said: "These girls aren't punk – what's going on?"
Sofia: I think we have some songs that are very raw and have that punk attitude, but generally, it's quite hard to pin point us. We are a bit Bendy Wendy.
Lea: A big Bendy Wendy!
When you're trying to come up with new genre names to exemplify things, it makes it a bit more ambiguous than it does actually help you get at what the band is trying to say.
Sofia: It's rock.
Lea: A fancy umbrella.
P3dro: Can you recommend a band or an album that you think we should be listening to right now?
Sofia: I'd say: Austerity, they're a Brighton based band. They have an album called Anarcho Punk Dance Party which came out last year. Probably my favourite band in Brighton. They're really punk, but it's their genre that they've almost labelled themselves dance punk. It's very rowdy! It's fun. They're a great band.
Lea: I feel they have the same energy that we go for. We get along great when we gig together. I have been listening to the new Psychedelic Porn Crumpets song. I like how they mix things up. You [wonder] what are they doing?
P3dro: Anyting else to tell us?
Sofia: Oh. We're coming.
Lea: We'll be there.
Sofia: Don't know when we'll be there, but we'll be there.
Lea: We are inevitable.

2016-17 CBA Annual Report
By Colin Pye on August 1, 2017 in News
CENTRAL BAPTIST ASSOCIATION: Annual report 2016
To describe all the activities that happen within the Association would of course require each church to offer an account of its life. In this annual report what is offered is a snapshot of the structure of the Association which acts to assist member churches to "walk together in ministry and mission" and also to represent the association through those nominated to serve on other bodies within and beyond the constituency.
At December 2016 there were 153 member churches with 11.293 members listed in the Directory. Most churches will also have attenders who are not members. These Baptist churches and Local Ecumenical Partnerships or Parishes (LEPs) were served by 145 ministers, ministers-in-training, lay pastors and youth or family workers. There were also 16 ministers in chaplaincy or sector ministry posts – including .
Association Council
This body met five times in 2016. Its brief is to oversee the life and development of the association, reflecting on policy and direction, monitoring the appropriate use of funds and ensuring that decisions are taken with adequate consideration, transparency and careful judgement. Periodically the Council reviews the Strategic Plan. This body is the trustees of the charity and also the board of directors for the charitable company and therefore accountable under law for the governance of the Association. It is also the official employer of the Regional Ministers. In 2016/17, the Council consisted of ten members, eight of whom are ordained and five are women. The Team Leader is a trustee and the other Regional Ministers attend meetings. Carol Murray was affirmed as Moderator at the 2016 AGM and Karen Hopkins appointed as Treasurer.
Ministerial Recognition Committee
The Ministerial Recognition Committee (MRC) normally meets five times annually to deal with everything pertaining to ministerial accreditation by the Baptist Union of Great Britain. In practice, this means that the majority of the MRC's work is to interview two different sets of people on BUGB's behalf: Candidates for Baptist Ministry – paid or unpaid – and ministers having come to the end of their Newly Accredited Minister (NAM) period of either three or four years. In addition, the MRC is also responsible for reviewing the progress of NAMs throughout this probationary period. Since the 2016 CBA AGM, the committee has interviewed 10 people: 5 ministers having come to the end of their NAM period, 3 candidates for pastoral ministry, and two candidates to be nationally recognised lay pastors.
While BUGB is ultimately responsible for addressing issues relating to the covenant that exists between ministers and the Union, the local Associations' MRCs are expected to address less serious matters in partnership with the Regional Ministers.
The MRC operates with a panel of seven members, so that not every member of the panel will necessarily be present at each meeting. The membership of the committee changed during the year and the panel is now made up of two Regional Ministers, two women, five men, four ordained ministers and three laypeople. If an interviewee is a specialist in Youth Ministry or Evangelism, an experienced specialist in those fields will be co-opted.
Printed media: Colin Pye produces CENTRAL NEWS three times a year (sponsored by the Baptist Insurance Company) and this colour production is sent to the churches for them to distribute among their members. We would observe again that it is at this point of distribution that often things get 'stuck' and would encourage these documents to be shared among the congregation rather than simply left at the back of churches to gather dust. It focuses upon GOOD NEWS stories from among the association churches and will normally feature a Home Mission story.
Home Mission: A Home Mission Video is in production right now focusing upon Gretton BC, Northants – this will be available to download from the web site. If you would value a DVD version please contact Colin Pye at colinmpye@gmail.com. A Home Mission thankyou poster has been distributed. As stated above, CENTRAL NEWS normally has a Home Mission story included.
Posters: We have produced a variety of posters / leaflets for a number of events including CBA assembly, Ministers conference/ Bucks Forum Gathering etc.
Online: The association web site (www.centralba.org.uk) has been maintained. Sue Barnard continues to produce an association monthly email news. If you don't get this and would like to, please email her at centralbaps@googlemail.com to be added to the mailing list. The CBA FaceBook page provides a 'live' up to date feel of all that is happening among those churches that have 'liked' it. Steve Summerfield continues to do a really magnificent job in keeping information flowing. Thanks Steve. The easiest way to access this page is to click the FaceBook link at the bottom right of the Web site front page
Finance Group
The group meets a couple of weeks prior to each Council meeting and takes an in-depth look at the range of financial matters that relate to the Association. This includes considering recommendations for the various grants and loans available from the Association for onward transmission to the Council for decision. In 2016 £1393 was given in training grants and Mission Initiative Grants. The group supports the Treasurer and helps to prepare an annual budget. The group consisted of five members, of whom three are non-ordained. Maggie Prisk is Moderator of the group. The group will be strengthened by the addition of Mr Trevor Higgs and Revd Andrew Openshaw
Community Learning – Footsteps Days and Courses
Over the past two years, through the partnership between CBA and Regent's Park College, the Footsteps programme has continued to develop and now offers a number of different opportunities for training. These range from the year-long 10-Saturday Footsteps 1 and 2 courses to the single Footsteps Pathway Days, with options for shorter Footsteps Pathway Courses held more locally around the association, as well.
2015-16 was the second year in which Footsteps 1 and 2 ran alongside each other, but this time at the Church of Christ the King, Kents Hill, with 11 participants in each group. A number of students continued straight on from Footsteps 1 to Footsteps 2, while others returned after a break of a year or two. This enriches Footsteps 2 as new friendships grow alongside the deepening relationships formed in the first year of the course. In both cohorts, the strength and support of the pastoral prayer groups continues to be an outstanding element of the Footsteps experience. The contribution of our many trainers and of the Pastoral Assistants continues to be vital to the overall success of Footsteps.
Footsteps Pathway Days [which began life as Footsteps 3] have become an established part of the Footsteps programme, meeting three times a year, alongside the other two courses. The three sessions in 2015-16 were:
October 2015, 'Who do we think we are?' with Rev. Emma Walsh, looking at the influence and impact of our Baptist heritage on our mission today.
March 2016, 'Multicultural Church' where Gale Richards gave people opportunities to explore cultural diversity, racial justice and the building of healthy multicultural churches.
May 2016, 'Mind the Gap? Bridge the Gap!' was led by members of the BMS team at IMC, bringing experience of mission overseas to help UK churches make connections with their neighbourhoods, by sharing stories and human experiences across cultures of every kind.
There were between 10 and 25 participants at each of these days, 5 of whom are now part of Footsteps 1 in 2016-17. The feedback has been very encouraging: people feel inspired and more confident as they go back to their churches. They also enjoy the interaction with people from other churches. The profile of Footsteps Pathway Days has continued to grow during 2016-17.
The final element of Footsteps, the Footsteps Pathway Courses [previously Growing in Service courses], is being re-established. After some research we decided to offer a 2-Saturday course as an alternative to a 6-7 week evening one. The first of these was held at Rockingham Road Baptist Church, Kettering, in January and February. More than 30 people attended this Pastoral Care course which was led by Rev. Ian Field. This option allows people to travel longer distances, and some participants came from as far afield as Tring and Princes Risborough, round trips of 100-150 miles!
2016-17 is the second year in our new venue, and we are constantly cared for by the 3 members of the church who are part of Footsteps this year. Numbers on the 2 main courses remain much the same. Some churches have had several people taking Footsteps 1 and 2, since it began in CBA, 6 years ago. However, it is encouraging to see signs that more people are discovering what is offered by various aspects of the whole Footsteps programme. This is particularly evident on the Footsteps Pathway Days, where we continue to have new churches represented each time we meet. Information about courses is provided by CBA mailings and regularly updated on the CBA website.
Anne Lane, Tutor in Community Learning, Regent's Park College, Oxford.
Footsteps, the training programme for church members organised in conjunction with Regent's Park College continued to meet in Milton Keynes. Events for training and awareness in safeguarding matters have continued be rolled out around the association. During the year there an event was held to allow ministers to reflect on the "Ignite" report produced by the Baptist Union. Theological reflection is also provided for Newly Accredited Ministers as part of their formation. Colin Pye held a "small churches" support day and the Association also hosted a day training on Charitable Incorporated Organisations run yy the Baptist Union.
The Association continues to take seriously the concerns of safeguarding, ensuring that accredited ministers have the appropriate DBS clearance. Five sessions were organised throughout the year for workers with children and young people and trustee responsibilities in the year.
There is a Safeguarding group bringing together people with experience in safeguarding children and adults that has worked on material for training workers and for trustees. Stephen Copson acts as convenor. From this group two people attend the National Safeguarding Group.
This committee met twice – once to consult on applications for grant support and once for a broader discussion of grants issues. The Committee consists of seven members with David Shaw as Moderator; four are accredited ministers and two are women. The Regional Ministers attend the Committee. There is a useful reciprocal exchange of representation with the Eastern Baptist Association Grants Committee. For 2017, grants totalling £ 115.755 were allocated, including support for local pastorates, ministers-in-training, chaplaincies and specialist posts.
Representation beyond the association
The Association is represented nationally on BUGB bodies: on Team Leaders & National Settlement Team (Geoff Colmer), Baptist Union Corporation (Stephen Copson), Treasurers' meeting (Association Treasurer), Mission Network (Colin Pye) and Baptist Union Council (Geoff Colmer, Nikki Jenkins and Carol Murray). The Association is also represented on the Council of Reference of BMS World Mission, Baptist Twinning in Israel and Regent's Park College Council, Oxford
The Association is represented on a number of ecumenical bodies, groups and trusts.
Beds: Beds Baptist Trust; Beds Ecumenical Committee; Bedford Ecumenical Lay Institute for Education and Faith (BELIEF); Beds Ecumenical Educational Chaplaincy;
Bucks: Churches Together in Bucks; Bucks SACRE,
Herts: Churches Together in Herts; Emmanuel Shared Church, Ware (link person); SACRE, Herts & Beds Shared Churches Company; Workplace Matters
North Bucks: Christ the Cornerstone trustees; Christ the Sower ecumenical primary school governors; Milton Keynes Presidents; Well St Buckingham (link)
Northants: Shire & Soke; Shared Churches; Princes Street Baptist church fund; Timson Trust
Team Leader's Report 2016 (Geoffrey Colmer)
The Regional Ministry Team consisting of Geoffrey Colmer, Stephen Copson and Colin Pye is an established team within which each member brings different gifts, experiences, strengths and distinctives, collectively making for creative and effective teamwork.
We meet most months to share news and information, reflect, plan and consider issues, and although we are geographically dispersed there is much contact at other meetings we attend and through emails and phone calls.
The Team continues to be an integral part of the CBA Council, though only Geoff is a Trustee, engaging with the strategy for the CBA and spending a not inconsiderable amount of time considering the bigger picture of our Baptist Union. A major part of our role is ministry to churches on a Sunday and on special occasions, one that is relished and counted as a privilege.
The wider Baptist Union, Baptists Together, continues to undergo a process of change and although we as an Association are fully engaged with the transition, much of the everyday life of the CBA continues to be 'walking together in ministry and mission', which remains the essence of what we seek to be and do.
Beginning in April, the Association engaged in a BUGB initiative, to which we gave a slightly different emphasis and named it '40 Days of Daring Greatly'. This consisted of three local gatherings in Luton, Northampton and High Wycombe but also with many other happenings as people in ways small and large dared greatly.
At the CBA Assembly in June, Rupert Lazar, the President of the BUGB, brought encouragement as he spoke on the theme of 'Anointed to do Good'. The CBA Ministers' Conference was another occasion when we were provided with some inspiring input from Lynn Green, the BUGB General Secretary; Mark Ord, the Co-Director of BMS International Mission Centre; and Ruth Bottoms, a minister from the CBA. There is major involvement in both of these annual events by the Team and we very much look forward to them.

The ACLU is suing a school district that expelled a student for photos found on his cell phone.
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed a federal civil-rights lawsuit on behalf of a middle-school boy who was expelled from school after what the group calls an illegal search and seizure of his cell phone. The case could help decide whether school officials have the right to examine a student's cell phone or other personal technology device without probable cause.
Richard Wade, who was a 12-year-old student at Southaven Middle School in the DeSoto County School District in Mississippi, had his phone confiscated last August by several of his football coaches, his class principal, and a Southaven Police Department sergeant after he read a text message during football class, which was a violation of school rules.
The phone was then turned over to police, and Wade was suspended for three days. At a disciplinary hearing the next week, it was argued that Wade posed a threat to school safety, and police argued that they recognized gang signs in the photos stored in Wade's phone. He was then expelled from the school.
Court records filed by Wade, his mother, and the ACLU state that the photos in Wade's phone were of him dancing in the bathroom of his home and of a classmate holding a BB gun across his chest.
DeSoto County spokeswoman Katherine Nelson said the district could not comment on the litigation. After Wade was expelled from school, Nelson provided a statement to media outlets that outlined the board policy against student use of cell phones during school hours, which are from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., according to reports in the Memphis Commercial Appeal. Southaven, located in the northwest corner of Mississippi, is part of the Memphis metropolitan area.
"Students know that if they break the rules, their cell phone will be confiscated and that school officials reserve the right to look through the cell phone to see if they were cheating on a test or conducting illegal activities related to gangs or drugs," the statement said. According to court documents filed by the ACLU, students and parents were not aware of this policy.
Wade and the ACLU argue that the school district not only violated the student's privacy and right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure, but also did not follow school policy concerning a violation of the rule against possession of electronic devices during school. They are suing under the First, Fourth, and Fourteenth Amendments.
"The rights of students to be free from unreasonable search and seizure and to due process are not suspended when they walk through the schoolhouse door," said Kristy Bennett, staff attorney with the ACLU of Mississippi.


"Move on. Nothing to see here" became the theme of the day for the rec ride on Sunday 29th November 2015. We left Blenheim enjoying another stunning morning, hit the cloud at Seddon and low cloud and drizzle by Ward. Not a good look for a ride that was supposed to get to around 1,000m asl. And so it was to be.
We drove in the Blue Duck Rd, Seaward Valley for about three k before a big enough flat area was found to accommodate the vehicles. Fourteen riders started out and as we gained altitude so the drizzle started to thicken and the cloud ceiling got lower. After 8k at a 200m climb on the road we paid our tolls and the climb began in earnest on a series of five long zig zags. The gradient was very consistent, tough without being a real grind and the surface was good. By 2k the view disappeared, the temperature was dropping and the drizzle getting thicker. That trend continued for the next 2k after which the main Alexander ridge was gained.
Enthusiasm for riding the last 3k along the ridge to the communication structures was now low if all we were to do was get wetter, colder and not to see the view. The ride will be there another day so it was about turn to enjoy the downhill back to the cars. Funny, but there was more uphill on the way home than downhill on the way in!!
The techos had varying reports. Was generally agreed we had ridden around 23.5k but there was huge discrepancy in the altitude gain. One maintained that it just over 800m, two others maintained we had climbed over 1,600m. Either way it was a good day out on the bike with a great turn-out and the day was topped off with pies, coffee and cake at Ward. Thanks to the Pickering family for access.

'Logan' and 'Legion' Can Reset the X-Men Franchise in 2017
It's about time mutants get a comeback.
By Eric Francisco
Filed Under Legion, Marvel Movies, Marvel Universe, Superheroes, TV Shows & Wolverine
Before X-Men, superhero movies came in one of three varieties: Batman, Superman, or total bullshit. But in 2000, Bryan Singer's leather-clad action flick made action stars out of comic book heroes like Wolverine and Cyclops. Its $54 million domestic opening weekend was, at the time, a colossal win that manifested in a revelation: There's money to make from these "comic books." By respecting the genre, superhero films emerged as a bonafide influential force, but 17 years later, the X-Men have fallen behind and are in desperate need of a new start. This year's Logan and Legion collectively present a rare opportunity for the franchise.
Past the hype, X-Men is a B- action movie, at best, but that didn't matter in 2000. The film paved the way for more "comic book" movies to attract high production budgets and still stay devout to the source material and its integrity, even if the cinematic X-Men looked nothing like their colorful ancestors. ("What would you prefer? Yellow spandex?") In spite of this legacy, the X-Men series has been stiff, unable to keep pace with competition like Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy and the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Across eight movies and counting, the X-Men franchise hovers between just plain bad (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) to good, not great (X-Men: Days of Future Past). Improvement in VFX and more accurate costumes haven't been enough to elevate the series past its creative highest in 2003's X2.
Last year's X-Men: Apocalypse wasn't bad in a way that was offensive to the senses, but it was a lame, slow, and bloated entry in a divisive year for superhero buffs. After the deafening thud of Batman v Superman, the sins of X-Men: Apocalypse were clear as day, leaving the cameos and teases for future installments as lightyears more interesting — and more like X-Men comics — than the film's real pieces. The final scene with Mystique training Cyclops and Jean Grey in the Danger Room was the most the X-Men films have come to life, and it lasted barely a minute.
Neither Logan — the last Wolverine movie with Hugh Jackman and a loose adaptation of Mark Millar's Old Man Logan — nor Legion — the new FX series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley based on Chris Claremont and Bill Sienkiewicz's mentally ill mutant anti-hero — look slavish to any X-Men comic. But perhaps now, that's its strongest asset.
Today, the MCU and the DC Extended Universe have prided on adhering as close to comics as possible, be it visually — Doctor Strange paid plenty respect to Steve Ditko — or in its rudimentary "like the comics" storytelling; Batman v Superman notoriously mashed The Dark Knight Returns and The Death of Superman into one exhausting experience. This isn't the case for Logan and Legion. Though they are "connected" in the same universe, each is trying hard to distance itself from the continuity in order to tell its own stories without bothering with stuff someone else set in place a long time ago.
Though Logan does have an old Wolverine that's outlived the rest of his X-Men brethren, it's not the post-apocalypse where supervillains have taken over like in Millar's graphic novel. There are no inbred Hulks (thank god) nor any bleak background events like Daredevil and Punisher getting eaten alive in an arena (guys, Old Man Logan was crazy AF). And there is absolutely no direct source material that Legion is referring to, not even Claremont's and Sienkiewicz's, New Mutants even though they have credit on the show.
Neither Legion nor Logan will stay in pace with its competition this year. Legion isn't anything like Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. or the DC TV shows on the CW, nor is Logan like Marvel's Spider-Man: Homecoming or DC's Wonder Woman. And these are all good things. When X-Men released in 2000, it wasn't like any other superhero flick before. Now, Legion and Logan won't be like any superhero film or show out there today.

This image was taken in early 1994 during my visit to the Auschwitz Concentration Camp on the outskirts of Krakow (Poland). It was a cold and foggy day, that gave the place a very eerie feeling indeed. Walking through the grounds of the camp, and trying to comprehend the horrors that took place here was difficult. What made the visions in my head even more vivid, was that we watched the recently released movie 'Schindler's List' the night before in a cinema in Krakow.


While every season brings a certain loveliness for the home, gatherings, and the birds and bees, we'd like to give a pleasant welcome to the Fall romance that comes with the Autumn season and that extra something it adds to love in the air.
As Fall, a proclaimed favorite season, starts appearing on social media timelines, or makes its way to the center of small talk conversations about brisker mornings, pumpkin-apple everything, Netflix's newest, and the nostalgic annual purge of witch themed Disney Channel Originals and familiar classic movies, we can't help but feel that warm, special feeling.
Through our now shorter, but longer feeling days, the thought of home glows warm with comforting appeal. Outdoor adventures get planned for next year, and date nights grow jeans, if not leggings accompanied with slipper-socks. But with love and fuzzy feelings here to stay.
Here's what makes a good Fall romance feel so new and good, we think.
The colder months are all about retreat- to longer days in the office, a favorite throw blanket, and certain spiced lattes you can't go a morning without. A good partner, whether it be a long term relationship or an exciting new love carried cross-season from more whimsical Summer days, can feel like a warm, cozy totem you can't wait to cuddle in with at the end of an (already dark!) day.
Gone are the days of slight arm touches and never body cuddles through hot Summer nights in bed. For Fall romance relationships, crack a window together, another resting body temperature beats another blanket addition guaranteed.
Dog walks suddenly a chore? Not with a warm partner to sway in and out of the arms of. And when you kiss, it's almost weird how literally hot the mouth can feel.
Your next pumpkin patch visit just got cuter.
At least we hope it stays sweet. We're all familiar with how those flicks tend to open with crisp leaves and warm sunsets, then end in a tearjerker. But the New England neighborhood feel and steamy breath scenes we'll cling to.
Hear us out on this one- the heavier, more layered the clothing, the sexier and more revealing it is to take it off! And anyway, who doesn't look good in earth tones? Heeled boots? Jackets on men? Your significant other was definitely looking fine this past week.
We all know that bitter sweet pain as you try and detach from your favorite heat source.
Stay tuned for more seasonal dating tips, here at Good Clean Love.

Missing Hesse
Lecturer in the History of Contemporary Philosophy,
University of Madrid (UNED), Spain
It was Hermann Hesse, together with a few other authors, who showed me from a very early age that literature is the refinement and perfectioning of life that is achieved through the kind of internalization often found in fine art. Internalizing does not mean reducing narratable external events to their minimum; rather, it means combining a series of events with a specific narrative message, within that apparent stopping of time that, again, we often encounter in fine art.
Hesse's novels and short stories do not simply reconstruct events; they explore a wide range of existential and spiritual meanings through allegorical mediations and myths.
Many of his works show us entire new worlds and periods of time that seem to have never existed. His anti-heroes are symbols of misfortune, thrown out and left to rot in the ignominy of history from where they linger and stare back at us until our eyes hurt. It seems like Hesse wants to escape from the metaphysical-rhetorical optimism of classic European and Western humanism in order to defend the insoluble, inexorable union between pessimism and humanity. The way I see it, this is precisely what many of his allegories try to express — they are aimed at the source of a kind of happiness that is not quite of this world, but only because to achieve it requires a kind of inner transformation that intensifies the experience of the spirit. This is one way of extracting from Hesse's books the spiritual richness within them, and of interpreting the self-reflexive, expressive mediations of his writings as new ways of understanding and practicing art.
It's true that, today, many of Hesse's novels feel rather distanced from our modern sensibilities: they almost feel like symbols whose role is to "represent", at least in the Schopenhauerian sense of the word. The poetic distance of novels such as Demian, Beneath the Wheel, Narcissus and Goldmund, Rosshalde, Steppenwolf or Siddharta is, in fact, an ironic one, one which expresses a worthy critique of that unquestioned dogma: that there should be no pain in the world of representation.
In other words, the irony that is the anachronism of Hesse in our contemporary world is due to his positioning himself halfway between an allegorical short story about the soul of the modern European and a phenomenology of the disgraced conscience of the generic Human Being, who appeals to the highest, most seductive form of art as a parody secretly turned against itself. In this sense, detailing the exaggeration and the extremism so characteristic of Hesse's spiritualism, this notion has a long history, because it reflects the intellectual disposition of those who grind their teeth in proud modesty while passionately seeking truth in beauty, as many philosophers and artists have done and will continue doing.


Women play so many roles. They are daughters, sisters, wives, friends, supporters, mothers, businesswomen, homemakers, lovers and so on. They are loving, caring, patient but also stern, scolding and bold. Being a woman in itself is a challenge. We are challenged at every point. Challenged when we try to break out of the age old molds and challenged when we take a stand.
What do you say when someone asks you, "Who are you?"
Are you able to label yourself in one category or are you willing to #UseYourAnd?
Are you a woman who is so many things, not just a good homemaker or a savvy Entrepreneur or a nerd but a homemaker and a savvy Entrepreneur and a nerd?
As we grow, we are faced with new responsibilities and take up new roles but does that mean that at one time we can take up only one role.
Label ourselves in one category only?
Ever since I was a child, my parents encouraged me to learn new things and taught me to pursue my dreams no matter what. They told me that I could be anything. When I learned to play Sitar and my teacher told me that I had great potential and should take it up professionally, I was given free rein to do so. Then I became an artist and there too, I was free to go with the flow. So I went with my heart and won competitions playing the Sitar and painting my thoughts on paper!
When I grew up, I became the first woman engineer in my family. I worked in a big IT company but then I felt I wanted to be a homemaker too. The move from being a working woman to also becoming a housewife was tough and people told me I was making a mistake. A working woman could never be a good housewife but what do they know? It is my life and I am happy to say, being a housewife is as fulfilling as being a working woman. I could do both and I did do both. I also started my own blog where I talked about the books I was reading, the products I was using and shared the creative episodes that struck me from time to time. Recently, I have also started dabbling with photography. I am sweet, slightly restless, inquisitive and a brainy sort of woman who is always trying to learn something new. As I write this post, I am recounting so many things that define me and I hope the number only increases and that no one can ever label me in one category because there is so much more to me and so much more that I can be.
When I heard about Gillette's campaign #UseYourAnd, I was happy because I felt proud. I was proud that I had never given in to being confined to any one label but formed my own unique identity.
I am a Daughter AND Sister AND Wife AND Friend AND Engineer AND Housewife AND Blogger AND Writer AND Businesswoman AND Nerd AND Critic AND Reader AND Sitarist AND Artist AND so many more things that define me, things that are only growing in number.
"Put an end to the one-dimensional labels that limit your potential.

Facelift in Philippines
The Ultimate Guide to Facelift in Philippines
Get a facelift in the Philippines and save thousands with Medical Departures' Best Price Guarantee.
It's a fact that our body loses its youthful charm with the passage of time—and the most obvious signs of ageing become visible on our face. With higher success rates and increased awareness, more people than ever are having facelifts to overcome the signs of age and rejuvenate their facial features.
This surgical procedure, medically known as a rhytidectomy, reduces folds and sagging skin around the jawline and cheeks and jawline and can also target other areas, especially when done in conjunction with eyelid, eyebrow and neck treatments.
Keep reading to find MD-verified clinics across the Philippines.
Why Consider Going to the Philippines for Cosmetic Surgery?
As well as the chance to save up to 70%, you can also look forward to receiving world-class treatment in the Philippines at our range of partner hospitals, clinics and medical centres. Although this may still be a developing country, the facilities listed with us are technologically advanced, using the same modern equipment and adhering to the same international standards as you will find back home. Filipino doctors spend many years training, and a good number of them do some form of training overseas too.
The Philippines is a generally very safe country that's gifted with natural beauty and you can plan to see the beautiful beaches and amazing flora and fauna along with your medical treatment. It is one of only 17 megadiverse countries in the world and if nature is your thing you are sure to be entranced.
If you are having surgery in the capital of Manila (where most of the top facilities are located), it's easy to see other parts of the country before your treatment, with a plethora of islands and stunning beach destinations just a short ferry ride or domestic flight away.
Booking with Medical Departures
At Medical Departures, we have researched and maintained a list of superb clinics that provide impeccable medical services in adherence to the strict international standards of medical treatment. We do background checks that include doctor qualifications and professional organizations as well as collating and authenticating patient reviews.

Take a look at the quality on offer with our full list of clinics and hospitals in the Philippines here.
What Does a Facelift Achieve?
A facelift is a personalised surgical procedure designed to beautify your face in accordance with your natural features and leaves negligible scars. To achieve this goal, your surgeon will first examine the skin and bone structure before devising a tailor-made treatment plan.
As facelift treatment may involve changing the bone alignment and tightening the skin, muscles and tissues, the procedure is normally carried out under general anaesthetic either in a hospital or an outpatient facility. The procedure may include reshaping the jawline, trimming extra skin and removing or adding fats to certain areas of the face.
It may also be combined with a neck lift, depending on your surgeon's advice.
How Long Does a Facelift Take and What Is the Recovery Time?
A typical facelift procedure takes two to four hours. After altering the position of bones and tightening the skin, incisions will be covered with the dressing to ensure safe healing. Usually, this dressing is removed within three to four days.
In the first few days, it will be painful to move your face and you'll feel that your face is swollen; however, these symptoms will start to subside in the following days. Adhere to the doctor's advice to achieve a speedy and fruitful recovery.
A full recovery will take several months, during which time you may want to style your hair in such a way to hide the remaining signs of the incisions.
What Is the Cost of Facelift in the Philippines Compared to Australia and New Zealand?
You can save more than 50% on the cost of a facelift in the Philippines.
At our partner clinics, prices start from around the AUD $3,300 (USD $2,500) mark. Get started with your search with these top three clinics in the Philippines for facelift surgery:

TamilNadu Elections
Poll season leaves weddings of 3,000 couples from BPL families in limbo
This story is from February 5, 2017
Vineet Upadhyay | TNN | Updated: Feb 5, 2017, 21:33 IST
Representative image,
NAINITAL: Manini Arya (name changed) from Nainital had been looking forward to February 12, the day she was to get married. From the meagre fund at her disposal, every penny was carefully spent, each decision painstakingly weighed. The caterer and the tentwallah had been booked even as Arya's family, which is below poverty line (BPL), waited for the financial aid from the state government that was to help pay for most of the wedding arrangements.
But the poll season has cast a shadow over Arya's wedding as the authorities have stopped release of funds citing the model code of conduct. This has left Arya and thousands of other individuals from BPL families who were planning to get married in February agonised.
"I don't know when the wedding will happen now. My parents had been running around for the past few months to make all the arrangements. Now we have been told that there is no money coming in from the government as the model code of conduct is in place. We will have to do everything all over again," Arya told TOI.
Vishnu Dhanik, director of social welfare department said, "We had received 2,935 applications from BPL families seeking monetary help for weddings. The funds had been allocated to the districts but due to imposition of the model code of conduct, the money cannot be distributed right now."
The social welfare department provides Rs 50,000 to BPL families to aid them in the weddings of their daughters. The scheme also covers widow remarriage.
The highest number of applications for the wedding grant had come from Udham Singh Nagar (919), Haridwar (847) followed by Dehradun (355), Bageshwar (267), Pithoragarh (113), Chamoli (111), Uttarkashi (92), Tehri (64), Nainital (53), Pauri (50), Champawat (40) and Rudraprayag (23). Almora district had a single applicant.
An applicant from Nainital district on the condition of anonymity said, "I have approached the district administration many times in the past month. But there is uncertainty. I was told to come after March 11 when the new government has been formed. I don't know if I can wait that long."

Sustainable Metro
LA Metro converts entire bus fleet to be powered by sustainable, low-carbon fuel derived from organic waste.
ESG Review Staff
LA Metro transitioned its diesel bus fleet to low-carbon fuel, with 2400 buses now running on renewable natural gas (RNG).
The Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority (LA Metro) has signed an agreement with Clean Energy Fuels Corp. (Clean Energy) for an estimated 47.5 million gallons of renewable natural gas (RNG). This agreement marks the completion of LA Metro's five-year goal to transition its diesel fleet to cleaner, low-carbon fuel, with 2400 buses now running on RNG.
"LA Metro is committed to ensuring a seamless path toward a carbon neutral future," said Cris Liban, chief sustainability officer at LA Metro. "Our use of RNG alongside our ultra-low NOx engines on our existing CNG [compressed natural gas] fleet provides the most cost-effective, equitable, and clean air strategy as we continue to transition to a 100% zero-emissions bus fleet by 2030 and a net zero-emissions agency by 2050."
The fueling contract resulted from a competitive bidding process, with LA Metro awarding Clean Energy three fueling depots for a five-year term, with an option to extend up to three additional years. Clean Energy already delivers RNG to five additional LA Metro fueling depots under a previously awarded RNG agreement.
Over the five-year period, the transition to RNG will further reduce LA Metro's greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions significantly compared to the use of conventional natural gas.
Clean Energy's RNG is derived from capturing the biogenic methane produced by the decomposition of organic waste from dairies, landfills, and wastewater treatment plants.
"LA Metro continues to lead public transportation as one of the cleanest fleets in the United States, with nearly 22 million gallons of RNG delivered to Metro since 2017," said Nate Jensen, senior vice president at Clean Energy. "With this additional commitment to fuel with RNG, LA Metro is accelerating its path to net zero carbon emissions through RNG and other alternative fuels."

Q: Soundcloud: preparing multiple tracks for streaming? After Soundcloud: Cannot set property 'id' of undefined when trying to play the song was resolved (thanks again) I'm going to do the next - I want to prepare multiple SM2 instances for playing multiple tracks on demand.
Here's the code (non-compiled CoffeeScript for readability this time, the whole jsbin can be seen here http://jsbin.com/ejapin/edit#javascript,html)
$ ->
    SOUNDCLOUD_ID = '6d5064768cc29c71e1f66691f435589a'
    PLAYLIST_ID = '1768866'
    SC.initialize client_id: SOUNDCLOUD_ID

    tracks = []
    tracks_total = 0

    tracks_ready = ->
        for track in tracks
          console.log track
          track.play()

    SC.get '/playlists/' + PLAYLIST_ID, (pl) ->
        tracks_total = pl.tracks.length
        for track in pl.tracks
            console.log "Fetching"
            SC.stream "/tracks/#{track.id}", {}, (sound) ->
                tracks.push sound
                console.log "+ Fetched #{tracks.length}"
                if tracks.length == tracks_total
                    tracks_ready()

I see Fetching logged 11 times and I also see SM2's swf to be requested the same number of times.
But the callback is called for the (updated) LAST track only (yet the sound is playing OK for it).
UPD: btw, it also inserts the SM2 js multiple times which looks like an issue

A: There was a bug in the SC JS SDK causing this.
We've deployed a fix today that should fix this.
Thanks for reporting this! Please let me know if there are still issues.

Kronstadt-opstanden i marts 1921 var en matrosopstand på den Baltiske flådefæstning Kronstadt på Kotlin-øen i Østersøen cirka 30 km fra Petrograd (Petersborg) som rettede sig mod hvad oprørerne opfattede som Lenins og det nydannede Sovjettiske Kommunistpartis (SUKP) tiltagende diktatoriske styre og magtfuldkommenhed.

Oprøret startede den 26. februar da nyheden om en række strejker i Moskva og Petrograd som vendte sig imod sovjetstatens såkaldte "krigskommunisme" nåede til Kronstadt, og det kulminerede den 1. marts med et møde på Ankerpladsen på flådestationen. Det anslås at omkring 15 tusind arbejdere, soldater og matroser var mødt op, hvilket svarer til en tredjedel af Kotlin-øens befolkning. Tilstede ved mødet var også Mikhail Kalinin og Østersøflådens politiske kommissær Kuzmin og til mødeleder valgtes Vasiljev, den bolsjevikkiske formand for den lokale ( Sovjet (råd)). Men stik imod alle protester fra Kalinin og enkelte andre af de tilstedeværende repræsentanter for bolsjevik-regeringen vedtog mødet en femten punkts resolution hvis udkast var designet og fremført væsentligst af mødets oprindelige dirigent matrosen Stephan Maximoff Petritjenko, en tidligere bolsjevik sympatisør, og hvis hovedkrav var som følger: "nyvalg til sovjetterne" via almen fri "hemmelig afstemning og fri forudgående valgagitation", samt "tale og pressefrihed for arbejdere og bønder, anarkister og venstreorienterede partier" og "forsamlingsfrihed, frihed for fagforeninger og bondesammenslutninger" frihed for "alle politiske fanger, som tilhører socialistiske partier, så vel som alle arbejdere og bønder, soldater og matroser, der er blevet fængslet i forbindelse med arbejder- og bondebevægelser."

Herudover stillede man krav om at der skulle nedsættes "en kommission til gennemgang af akterne i alle processer mod indsatte i fængsler eller koncentrationslejre." Resolutionen rettede derefter et direkte angreb på bolsjevikkernes magtmonopol med et krav om at "intet enkeltpart må have monopol på propaganda for sine ideer" eller "modtage penge fra staten til dette formål." Man krævede fjernelse af bolsjevikpartiets "kommissærer" fra "alle troppeenheder" og i "fabrikker og værksteder" og at evt. brug af kommissærer i stedet skulle overlades til "arbejdernes skøn." Endeligt krævede man at "bønderne" skulle have "fuld ret til at bestemme over al deres jord som de vil, og til at eje kvæg, så længe de selv kan passe det, dvs. ikke anvender lønnet arbejdskraft." Resolutionen blev vedtaget med et overvældende flertal på et åbent møde på flådestationen, imod stemte kun to af de tilstedeværende.

Umiddelbart efter vedtagelsen af resolutionen, indespærrede oprørerne samtlige medlemmer af bolsjevikpartiet som gidsler, og slog samtidigt fast, at det var rent opspind, at deres desertering kunne få som konsekvens, at sovjetregering umiddelbart ville angribe byen. Den tredje marts svarede regeringensorganerne igen ved i en udsendelse fra 'radio Rosta Moskow' at udråbe oprørerne som "mytterister" og påstande om at oprøret var et "SR" (Socialrevolutionært/Kerenskij) planlagt og ledet kup dirigeret fra "Paris" med det formål at "omstyrte Sovjetmagten", samt at den virkelige leder af oprøret var "en zarisk general" som angiveligt skulle befinde sig "i skjul bag" oprørernes "ryg".

Opstanden udgjorde et stort politisk problem for kommunistpartiet. For det første fordi den vedtagne resolution var klart venstreorienteret i indhold og for det andet fordi flådestationen og dens matroser havde været en afgørende bastion for bolsjevikkernes og dermed kommunistpartiets magtovertagelse i oktober 1917 og for det tredje fordi man mente at indrømmelser på disse punkter ville betyde omstyrtelse af Lenins og kommunistpartiets magt. Man gjorde nogle spæde forsøg på at forhandle sig til rette. Sovjets præsident Mikhail Kalinin sendtes ud til flådestationen, men han havde ikke mandat til at give efter på disse afgørende punkter og befandt sig blandt de to stemmer der stemtes ned under ovenstående møde. Matroserne ville ikke opgive kravet om frihed for opposionelle venstreorienterede partier og nyvalg til sovjetterne og i sidste ende valgte bolsjevikkerne at fremstille oprøret som ledet af højreorienterede kræfter og "provokatoriske elementer" og den Franske efterretningstjeneste, hvorefter man satte den Røde Hær ind med omkring 60 tusind tropper under ledelse af Mikhail Tukhachevsky og stormede fortet over isen den 7. marts.

Oprøret nedkæmpedes blodigt. Den Røde Hær som måtte kæmpe på åben is og i gadekampe mod en stærkt bevæbnet bastion led meget betydelige tab. Den Røde Hærs officielle tabstal var 527 omkomne og 3285 sårede. Tabene på oprørenes side under selve kampene er usikre. Petritjenko og en del oprørere undslap over isen til den nyligt etablerede finske republik og historikere har beregnet at mellem 1200 og 2168 blev henrettet af tropper fra tjekaen og den Røde Hær i dagene efter oprøret. Et tilsvarende antal sendtes i fængsel og lejre i dagene efter oprørets nedkæmpelse. De officielle sovjetiske tal angav at omkring tusind oprørere blev dræbt og to tusind såret, samt at der var mellem 2300 og 6528 tilfangetagne og at det lykkedes mellem seks og otte tusind oprørere at undslippe til Finland. Omkring 1050 til 1272 fanger blev senere frigivet og mellem 750 og 1486 fik domme på fem års straffearbejde.

Episoden førte på én og samme tid til en stramning fra kommunistpartiet med forbud mod oppositionelle partier, dannelse af en ét-partistat og en opblødning med den såkaldte NEP-politik (den "nye økonomiske politik") som åbnede op for et vist mål af markedsøkonomi i et forsøg på at dæmme op for den tiltagende utilfredshed blandt bondebefolkningen.

Kronstadt episoden har siden 1921 været et kardinalpunkt i venstreorienteret, socialistisk og marxistisk, venstreradikal, anarkistisk, såvel som socialdemokratisk funderet kritik af Sovjetstyret og især Lenins og Trotskijs personlige optræden. Påstanden er typisk at med nedkæmpelsen af Kronstadt-opstanden og den efterfølgende cementering af en étpartistat lagde Lenin og Trotskij grundpillerne til Stalins senere magtovertagelse, terror og magtmisbrug. Denne pointe har været genstand for mange og voldsomme polemikker på venstrefløjen siden 1921 og bestrides stærkt ikke kun af de kommunistiske regimers tilhængere men også af de forskellige trotskistisk orienterede bevægelser (trotskisme).

Bank of America and Wells Fargo are seeking partners to share a $640m construction loan to Tishman Speyer for its $1.1bn development of a three-tower residential scheme in Queens, New York.
The floating-rate, four-and-a-half year facility at 250bps over one-month LIBOR, reflects a loan-to-cost of 55%. The two US banks are believed to be in talks with a number of lenders interested in participating.
The facility will finance the construction of the 1800-unit scheme being developed by property company Tishman and its partners, the Toronto-based H&R Real Estate Investment Trust and an undisclosed third investor. Tishman has a 10% stake in the partnership, H&R has 50% and the third partner, 40%.
Construction has begun at the Long Island City site in Queens, which will see three towers rising to 53, 44 and 33 storeys in height, plus 16,000 sq ft of retail space. The 44-storey tower is expected to be completed first in 2017.
It is the second significant development financing from Bank of America in the past month. It provided $200m to developer Related for its 152,000 sq ft condominium building project in Manhattan's Tribeca neighborhood.
Wells Fargo recently provided a $98.1m loan to Friedland Properties for a residential development project on the Upper West Side of Manhattan at 2234 Broadway.

Libratone has been around for almost ten years, but for the longest time, the company was mostly known for its Bluetooth speakers. With the launch of the Pixel 2, Google chose Libratone as one of its first "Made for Google" headset partners, which gave the company's headset lineup a bit of a boost. Now, at CES, the company is launching its latest headset, the Libratone TRACK+ Wireless In-Ear.
There's obviously nothing new about wireless in-ear headsets (you can get one that's good enough for many people for under $30 these days). What's interesting here is that Libratone is building adaptive adjustable noise cancelling into this pair.
Libratone's other noise cancelling headsets already give you the option to switch between four noise cancelling levels, depending on your environment. The TRACK+ earphones will automatically do this for you. With that, Libratone is following in the footsteps of Beats, which also recently announced its Studio 3 over-ear headsets with a similar feature.
In my experience with the company's Q Adapt on-ear headset, Libratone's noise cancellation works well enough, though at its higher settings, there is a hiss that's significantly more noticeable than what I'm used to from my Bose headset. On the other hand, though, you're not really going to notice that when you're in the kind of noisy environment where you want to use that setting.
The new headsets will come in two colors: "stormy black" and "cloudy white." They will start retailing at Amazon and other retailers for $199 in early 2018.
