Review: Classic Monsters of the Movies Magazine
When I was a lad, there seemed to be literally hundreds of monster movie magazines. Titles like Famous Monsters, Monster Mag, House of Hammer, Starburst, and Shivers, not to mention the classic books by Denis Gifford and Alan Frank ... but these days the pickings are much slimmer. We still have Starburst of course, and The Dark Side, but one of the best, Fear, tried a comeback which didn't work ... and there's not much else.
Thank goodness for Nige Burton and his Classic Monsters of the Movies magazine! I first discovered this gem a few years back when Nige and myself both had trader stands at a HorrorCon (Sheffield I think it was), and I was immediately taken by the magazine.
First of all, the covers. Now magazines, like books, can survive or fail on their covers. Indeed one of the late lamented Fear's main selling points were the beautiful Oliver Frey covers which graced every issue. Now Classic Monsters has discovered the talented pen of Daniel Horne, and his simply jaw dropping portraits grace every issue. I am reminded of the great Basil Gogos and his portraits which graced covers of Famous Monsters, and Daniel's work has a class and a beauty which elevate this magazine.
Once past the cover though, and Nige assembles a fascinating collection of film analyses, character profiles, reviews and actor and director profiles covering everything from the early days of F W Murnau's Nosferatu and The Cabinet of Dr Caligari to more modern fare of Pet Sematary and Hammer's output.
That's what I love about the mag, that it's not afraid to mix the old with the new. In an edition which features Michael Myers from Halloween on the cover, Nige explains that some people complain if they cover anything after around 1950 ... well I would suggest that this is just short sighted on the part of the complainer! If you're going to cover Classic Monsters, then there are modern classics too ... and the beauty of covering them all is that it brings younger aficionados into the fold as well as those who love the classic black and white films.
It's a beautifully printed and presented magazine, chock full of photographs which have been cleaned up and which sparkle like new. Indeed, the picture content is second to none - gorgeous photographs from old black and white (and colour) films which really show off all the detail and care that went into the original make-ups and productions.
But it's not all films! There are features on collecting and nostalgia too, so if you ever owned a glow in the dark Aurora Monster model kit, or poured over a copy of Denis Gifford's A Pictorial History of Horror Movies, then the magazine is for you ...
I so strongly recommend it to you ... Nige is doing an amazing thing and it deserves supporting ... so go and buy a copy today - or better still get a subscription! You won't regret it!

Review: Resurrection of the Daleks Novelisation
Way back in the dim and distant past, when Target novelisations were being produced monthly, and there was much excitement about every one, allegedly Terry Nation's agents decreed that if any of the eighties Dalek stories were to be novelised, then they wanted a hefty percentage of the royalty, leaving the actual writer who had done all the work, very little indeed.
Thus it was that Eric Saward, writer of the two eighties Dalek stories Resurrection of the Daleks and Revelation of the Daleks, decided that he didn't like those terms and so declined to write the books, or to allow anyone else to write them either. So they languished un-novelised (apart from a fan-produced version) until 2019.
With the whole business of Doctor Who publishing turned on its head, and the BBC looking for more and more ways to publish books so Saward finally found a deal he was happy with, and finally the novelisations of the last two stories to be novelised are being published.
I got Resurrection of the Daleks the other week. The BBC, in their infinite wisdom, have done them as un-matching editions which look unlike all the other Doctor Who books available.
Thus we get a small hardbacked book, with a black, silver and red cover with the smallest Dalek in the centre ...
And the writing ... well ... To be honest I might have read a worse written book, but it's hard to think of one. The writing style is odd. It's sort of third person totally uninterested. As the plot unfolds with scant regard to characterisation or detail, so the reader is kept at a distance from all the action. Oh there are lots of bits added: references to the spaceship Vipod Mor and to Tinclavic and Terileptils (all created by Saward for the series and spin offs) to the extent that you start to wonder if the Doctor has ever encountered any aliens aside from the Terileptils. But all this feels forced and unnecessary. There's a tagged on ending with Tegan feeling like a superwoman, heading off on a barge, watched by the two policemen ... But even this feels empty.
The descriptions are clunky and poor. There's one moment which made me splutter on my tea! Had I really just read that Tegan took a stool from her room into the TARDIS console room? The TARDIS apparently has in it an Explosion Emotion Chamber ... and a robot chef called Ooba-Doa! There's elements which have no relation to the narrative, and there are characters which just drift through without ever actually making any impression on you at all.
And then there's the Daleks. Never have I seen them worse characterised than here. If you didn't know what they looked like or how they spoke, then you would never know from reading this book. They scream, they ooze, they get cross ... what they don't do is behave like Daleks!
Davros fares little better. It's such a shame that such a long-awaited book turns out to be so poor in almost every respect.
Later in the year we have the second Dalek story to look forward to: Revelation of the Daleks, which was enlivened on television by Graeme Harper's inspired direction ... I can only wonder what the book will be like.

Target Legacy: Writing DAEMOS RISING
Way back in the dim and distant past I was a massive fan of the Target Doctor Who novelisations ... I joined the Target Book Club to get advance information about them, I was sent cover proofs and cherished them ... eventually I got advance copies which was wonderful ... and of course ultimately I wrote a book all about them called The Target Book. Never has a range of books been more influential and iconic.
One thing I always wanted to do was actually write one! However that opportunity was never to be. Even though I knew the final editors working on the ranges, and was even being published by them, and was acting as proof reader on several titles ... I was never asked to pen one. Again, back in the day, I wrote my own novelisation of Image of the Fendahl. I remember listening to the audio I had recorded over and over in order to get the dialogue just right ... I probably even have my text somewhere! I think I even sent it to Terrance Dicks - having no clue as to how things worked - to see if he thought it might be usable ... of course it wasn't going to stand a cat's chance in hell ... but I was young and keen.
So it gives me such immense pleasure to announce that I have finally written a novelisation ... and moreover it's a novelisation of something I wrote which was made into a proper film that you can buy on DVD from Amazon and watch and everything ...
Daemos Rising was as most things tend to be, a labour of love, and I am eternally grateful to Keith Barnfather for allowing me to play with the toys for that production. Of course it's not just Keith I have to thank, as Marc Platt created the characters of Kate Lethbridge-Stewart and Douglas Cavendish, and the Daemons on Doctor Who were created by Barry Letts and Robert Sloman, and the whole Time Hunter idea and concept was co-created with Stephen James Walker for Telos, and that spun off of a Doctor Who Novella by Daniel O'Mahony called 'The Cabinet of Light', and then the final book in that series, 'Child of Time' was written by myself and George Mann ... so you can see what a fractured, complex and interesting these ideas have in their birth, gestation and eventual realisation.
For the novelisation, I have taken what we presented on screen in the film of Daemos Rising and enhanced it with additional material which, given the budget, could not be seen on screen at all ... There's the back story of the Ghost and his companion for a start, and the machinations of the Sodality in the future, as well as the real plans and intentions of the Daemons ... such a lot to cram into a novelisation.
But I think I've done it all justice, and the book works in the way I wanted it to.
It's such a thrill and a rush to take something written for the screen and to interpret it for prose ... lots of things change, motivations become clearer, and missing scenes and other helpful elements can be injected at the appropriate places. I hope readers really enjoy it, and start to appreciate what we all collectively saw the story of the Daemons as being ... from their debut in a 1971 Doctor Who adventure, through Daemos Rising, through my story for the White Witch of Devil's End anthology series, and ultimately to the Time Hunter novel 'Child of Time' ... Hopefully people will seek these things out, watch/read them in order, and have as much fun as we did ...
'In the void between time the devils waited … patiently … to be summoned again … to pass judgement on the Earth …'
KATE LETHBRIDGE-STEWART is summoned by an old friend, Douglas Cavendish, to help him with a problem he has with ghosts and voices in his head. But when Kate arrives, she finds more than she expected. Aided by a time-traveller from the future, Kate must outwit both the ancient race of Daemons, and the Sodality, a human cult-like organisation from the future, which is intent on gaining control over time.
Daemos Rising is based on, and expands upon, the Reeltime Pictures drama production Daemos Rising originally released in 2004 and available from www.timetraveltv.com. It also spins off from the 1971 BBC Doctor Who adventure 'The Daemons', and is a prequel to the Telos Publishing Time Hunter novella 'Child of Time'. All characters used with permission. This book has not been licensed or approved by the BBC or any of its affiliates.
The special edition is an A-format paperback release, sized and designed to fit in with the Target Doctor Who novelisations. It features a retro-art cover by Andrew-Mark Thompson, and includes an 8 page full colour section of photographs from the making of Daemos Rising in 2004.
Daemos Rising is written by David J Howe, noted Doctor Who collector and historian who wrote the original script for the film.

Review: Anna and the Apocalypse (2017)
It's a little difficult to know what to make of Anna and the Apocalypse. It's a zombie film ... but it's also a musical! And for me the two elements just don't mesh together.
Anna is at university/college with her friends when the zombie apocalypse hits. She manages to survive it by breaking into song every five minutes or so and staging impromptu dance numbers and songs with everyone else on screen. It's a little like High School Musical with zombies, or episodes of My Crazy Ex-Girlfriend but with a lot more musical numbers.
The zombie plot and action is actually ok with some nice effects and decent scares, but the musical element intrudes to the extent that you just want them to get on with it! Oh, and it's also set at Christmas ... so it's a Christmas Zombie Apocalypse Musical ...
It's got an excellent cast with Ella Hunt as Anna taking the centre stage and knocking it out the park with her singing, acting and dancing. There's also Paul Kaye as the creepy University Head Mr Savage, and Mark Benton as Anna's dad, Tony.
There's a nicely staged Jocks vs Zombies fight scene, lots of chases, and lots of singing and dancing.
I suppose it depends what you like! If you are a fan of High School Musical and Zombie mayhem then this will be right up your street. If, like me, you find the singing and dancing a little tedious, then perhaps not.
3/5 on this one!

Review: Scared Stiff (1987)
It must be tricky trying to name an eighties horror film ... so many of them just try too hard and for every cult classic there's a host of wannabes waiting in the wings ... Scared Stiff is an interesting one. For one thing the title seems a complete misnomer until the very end. A better title might be Bored Rigid, but that might be doing this film a disservice as it does have some elements to commend it.
The basic plot is simple: A couple move into a house which was once where an evil Plantation owner lived with his slaves, his wife and child. The slaves revolted and summoned a demon which possessed the Plantation owner causing him to lock his wife and child in a casket in the attic.
Flash forward to present day, and our eighties couple: David Young (Andrew Stevens), apparently a psychiatric doctor, and his girlfriend Kate (Mary Page Keller), a singer who is making a pop video, and who happened to be David's patient up to a year ago, move into the house with her son Jason (Joshua Segal). Cue all manner of nasty happenings as the ghosts from the past are coming to get them ...
They find a boarded up staircase to the attic in the kid's room, wherein is the casket. Jason finds the key while playing and the bodies are discovered. And also a handiman hangs himself from a rope by the house, not to be discovered for days. Did noone wonder where he was or even look at the outside of the house? He eventually crashes through a window as David goes full on possession and Kate and Jason find themselves in an otherworldly realm of moving pianos and smoke and doors as David/the Demon tries to kill them until Jason joins two halves of a totem together and banishes him ...
It's all a bit confused at the end as before the demon is destroyed he seems to give birth to another demon from within him ... then there's eighties early CGI light effects and Kate is left a catatonic wreck, being visited by Jason. I guess she was scared stiff ...
Overall the film plays well, the soundtrack is passable, but it's slow ... so slow ... lots of talking and normal everyday stuff before the possession shenanigans kick in. The cinematography is good though, and the film looks great in this new transfer.
Interesting that the original script was written by Mark Frost, slightly before his Twin Peaks fame, but coming after The Six Million Dollar Man, Hill Street Blues and The Equaliser ... However in the Making-Of documentary, they explain that Frost's original screenplay was changed around a lot before it became the final film ... and one wonders if the original might have been so much better than the something of a pot pourri of ideas that got to the screen.
Again, kudos to Arrow for digging up another eighties horror that I'd never heard of let alone seen ...

Review: Terraformars (2016)
What to make of this new science fiction film from Takashi Miike ... First of all, it's based on a Manga series of the same name, and I think this shows in the structure of the piece. Although there is a loose plot, it's pretty simple, which means that the film should stand and fall on its characters, however they are many, and hard to get attached to.
If one took a film similar in idea: Alien, then you hopefully see what I mean about the characters needing to be three dimensional. In Alien, a group of humans arrive on a planet only to find that it is home to a life form which wants to wipe them out. Moreover, one of their number is actually planning to bring said life form back to Earth ... and as such Terra Formars plays out in similar fashion, but without the three dimensional characters or the cool monster at its heart.
What I can see in Terra Formars are echoes of a great many films/TV, all of which did this sort of thing much better. There's Alien as mentioned, but also Blade Runner (the opening could almost be from that film), Starship Troopers with the idea of humans trying to wipe bugs from the face of a planet, there's Transformers and Power Rangers in the strange idea that in order for the humans here to succeed, they must be able to change themselves via injections of some mystery DNA potion into hybrid bugs themselves ... thus we have a chap who can blow flames from his mouth, a girl who can extrude silk, another girl who can implant 'herself' into the brains of others to control them, and a chap with giant hornet stings on his hands ... plus many others.
The idea is that Mars was pre-populated with lichen and with cockroaches, and over years the roaches have developed intelligence and to walk on two legs, and to be seven or eight feet tall! Thus a group of hand picked humans (criminals mostly it seems) are sent to clear them out.
There's a fair bit of misogyny in the film as most of the female characters are summarily beheaded by the roaches without a thought, while the male characters battle on. There's no mourning, just moving on with the action, and while some of the male characters are killed, it all seems a soulless process. All driven by some fashionista back on Earth who has an ulterior motive which, again, I can't recall what it was ...
There's also a peculiarity that often the film looks and feels like it's an animation (an Anime of the Manga) and I think this is as a result of the extensive CGI which is used. Everything from backgrounds to spaceships to the roaches, to the transformation of the humans ... nothing seems actually 'real' here. It looks as though the human cast have also been airbrushed and treated to make them seem more 'animated'.
This is not a great film, and it suffers from a degree of slowness in the earlier stages, and then repetition in the later acts. The characters are instantly generic and forgettable (I didn't come away with the name of a single one of them), and, just as with Power Rangers/Transformers once you have seen the transformation into a hybrid the first time, it starts to drag with each successive time: a collage of the real insect and information about its particular 'powers' against CGI of the film character growing antennae or mantis-arms or whatever.
Ultimately, I came away wondering what I had just watched, and I'm unfortunately unlikely to want to revisit it.

Review: Lifechanger (2018)
Lifechanger is an interesting film. While it basically follows the same character, this character is a shapeshifter and can take on the form of other people. But in order to do so, it needs to kill the person it is replicating, leaving them a sort of mummified husk.
It's a simple idea, and yet I don't think I've seen it done in film before. Years ago, Stephen Gallagher wrote a novel about a shapeshifting killer called Valley of Lights, but that's about it!
Written and directed by Justin McConnell, it follows the character of 'Drew' who narrates the film, and follows the shapeshifter through a variety of personas. What I really liked here was that it's a film with several 'lead' characters in that their appearance (and sex) changes as the film progresses. There's a real sense of loss too as each character dies to allow 'Drew' to continue living, and as each body he takes starts to decay and fall apart after a short time, there's a lot of body-hopping to be done.
There's also a romance element in that 'Drew' loves a girl called Julia, and his body hopping eventually leads him to a temporary happiness with her ... but there's a twist and ultimately he cannot take her body when his own starts to decay, and so he decides to die this time - allowing his body to crumble away. But instead of this happening it becomes a sort of cocoon, and out of this comes an old man. Now whether this is meant to be Drew as he really is, or a different variation on the shapeshifter is unknown, and the film ends on a slightly unsatisfactory note as a result. A little more explanation in the final scenes would have been appreciated.
Overall though it's a good and solid film, with a lot of good ideas and some great practical effects too. Well worth a look.
Review: Hell Fest (2018)
There's always something rather satisfying in sitting back and enjoying one of those eighties slasher movies. You know, the ones where a group of kids go off to camp, or to a mall, or to babysit, or to a deserted cabin in the woods ... only to find death waiting for them in the form of a deranged schoolfriend, the janitor, someone who died there years ago, or an escaped psycho from the local hospital. What makes the films good is the tension, imaginative deaths, and a good dose of eye candy for both male and female viewers.
There's a formula for these things, and if you follow the formula, you generally get an entertaining film. Note I don't say a good film as some of these offerings are sorely lacking in acting ability, camerawork, effects or pretty much everything. But they're still entertaining.
We have seen some pastiches on the form in recent years. I'm thinking of course of Cabin in the Woods, the marvellous trope subverting film from Wes Craven, but also Todd Strauss-Schulson's 2015 film The Final Girls which brilliantly plays with the idea of film within film and the concept of the 'Final Girl' ie the one left standing at the end to defeat/unmask the killer.
This brings me to 2018's Hell Fest. Directed by Gregory Plotkin, it seems to be trying to present a take on the genre, but what it doesn't do is present anything new. In fact, the whole film is overall quite disappointing as you're expecting something original, but in fact there is nothing. And worse still, it doesn't follow the 'rules'.
The basic idea is that a group of teens (Amy Forsyth as Natalie, Reign Edwards as Brooke, Bex Taylor-Klaus as Taylor, Christian James as Quinn, Matt Mercurio as Asher and Roby Attal as Gavin) head off to Hell Fest, a local horror carnival, which features a variety of the sort of thing which happens every Halloween in America, and indeed which features at the various Universal theme parks around the country too. There are 'haunted houses', 'Ghost Train' rides, actors in costume trying to scare people, horror themed food and drink and carnival side shows ... anything and everything horror.
Into this scenario comes a nameless killer, who stalked the grounds of Hell Fest before, killing girls, and now is back to do the same.
So the film follows our six teens as they explore the park, go through the various rides, and get stalked by the killer, who bumps them off one by one. Apart from the production design (by It Follows' Michael Perry) which is superb - some of these Hell Fest attractions are by far the scariest and most imaginative that I have ever seen - the script is lazy. The kids are killed off one by one: one random girl is seen being stabbed with a knife; one of our heroes - the immensely likable Taylor (Bex Taylor-Klaus, who seems to be channelling Warehouse 13's Alison Scagliotti) is stabbed with a knife and one of the guys, Gavin, gets his head smashed in with a mallet. It's all gory fun ... but as the film progresses, there seems little point to the proceedings, and a disinterest sets in.
The killer is just 'the Other' (Stephen Conroy) and as he wears a mask throughout and we never see his face, is nameless and just a killing machine. Whereas 'the Shape' in Halloween and 'Jason' in the Friday the Thirteenth films are masked killers too, these have more personality and some sort of modus operandi. Here the killer just kills and we never know why.
He also does not receive any come-uppance, walking away at the end, despite being stabbed by one of the girls. It's the killings too which have no imagination or cleverness behind them ... just knife stabbings on the whole. There was the scope to really up the ante here and to present something clever, but this never happens.
So as a film, it's well shot, well acted, and the location and production design is superb. It's unfortunately the script which lets it down. Disappointing.

Review: Overlord
Completely at the other end of spectrum to Redcon-1 comes another War-based zombie fun fest, Overlord. However here, the plot makes sense, the characters are good, and the whole thing is a tremendous film!
Produced by J J Abrams, he of Star Trek, Alias and Lost fame, Overlord opens looking like a fairly standard war film. A crack group of soldiers are paracuted into German territory during WW2 to investigate a German bunker/outpost. The effects here are mindblowing as the poor group of soldiers are under attack even before they leave their airplane: with bullets hitting them, explosions all around, other planes flying with them before exploding, barrage balloons, and all the other paraphernalia of war.
Most of them make it down, some are captured and executed by German troops, but a small number make it to a French village where they befriend one of the locals, a woman, Chloe (Mathilde Ollivier) living with her young son (Gianny Taufer) and mother in a house. Something is wrong with 'mother' though - she seems to be turning into a monster!
One of the group, a black soldier called Boyce (Jovan Adepo), manages to infiltrate the German bunker and discovers that a Nazi doctor has been performing horrific experiments on humans, all to try and create a serum which will revive the dead as Nazi super soldier zombies.
Boyce steals some of the serum, and it ends up being used on one of his own party... they decide that they have to destroy the laboratory, and so return to plant explosives. Of course there is a standoff with the German commander who has injected himself with the serum.
The film has some great moments, and the make-ups and effects are superb. Watch out for a pleading woman's head separated from her body but still on a spinal column! There are elements here of various previous Living Dead films, as well as, I felt, John Carpenter's seminal The Thing, especially in the music which by accident or design seems to emulate Ennio Morricone's score, but also in the decision to blow the whole place up at the end.
I found the film hugely enjoyable, though it does take a long time to morph from what seems to be a standard war film, into a zombie horror film. Oh, and I have no idea at all why it's called Overlord.
4 out of 5!
Review: Redcon-1
Redcon-1 is a new film directed by Chee Keong Cheung and is another entry in the Zombie Apocalypse genre. It's perhaps unfortunate that I have seen quite a few Zombie films in my time, and so I can see that this one is nothing new. It resembles at various points other films which have handled the material far more elegantly.
One of the biggest issues I had was the narrative - it doesn't seem to have one! The idea they are playing with is that the government, or some agency thereof, has developed a virus which will create unstoppable zombie soldiers - creatures that cannot be killed, which are zombies, but which retain the knowledge of who they were and how to function ...
We follow a team of nameless human soldiers who are battling these creatures to try and rescue the scientist who created the virus ... there's a little girl who seems immune, and they try and get her to safety ... along the way, the lead character - whose name I cannot remember ... in fact I can't recall the names of anyone in the film - becomes a zombie but they manage to deliver the girl, the scientist is killed, and that's the end.
The plot is so vague, and the film is totally filled with fast moving action fight sequences, that there's no room for much dialogue or explanation ... it just rumbles onto the next battle, and the next ...
If you like action, violence, blood and gore, and zombie hoards, then this film may tick all the boxes for you. Personally I found it derivative and disappointing. Films like Resident Evil, 28 Days Later and even Escape from New York have handled similar material and themes much better.
One final note, the film I was sent to review had a PREVIEW COPY DO NOT PIRATE message over the top third of the screen the whole time which was both annoying and very distracting ... hard to watch something when you keep being thrown out of it by the lettering. This may have been part of the reason for my disappointment with the film - it really didn't hold my attention. Why not put the message up every 30 mins or so for a minute? Or flag it on the corner of the screen ... It's a little like being asked to review a stage play where they keep the curtain half way down all the time.
Just 2 out of 5 for this one.

Review: That'll Be The Day Stage Show
It's not often that we go to the theatre, but when we do, it's usually a treat!
And when a surprise invitation came through to see THAT'LL BE THE DAY at the Lincoln Theatre Royal last night, it was hopefully going to be something special. And that is something of an understatement.
It was amazing. No, better than that, it was a rollicking, superb, entertaining, mad dash through pop music history, with the most brilliant team of musicians and comedians as your guides.
If you get a chance to go see the show, then do yourself a favour and go see it. It's the most uplifting and fun evening of music and comedy that you're likely to experience.
It's not based on the Buddy Holly song 'That'll be the Day', although the song does feature. This is not a staged biopic like JERSEY BOYS or WE WILL ROCK YOU ... In fact the title refers to the group of people who put this all together ...
The first half presents music from the Sixties, with perfect recreations of music from Sandy Nelson in a jaw dropping live performance of 'Bring on the Drums', Lulu, the Beatles, Cilla Black, Elvis, The Hollies, Gene Pitney ... they just keep on coming. Interspersed with comedy skits we get Doddy make an appearance, as well as a brief Eric Morcambe, plus Roy Orbison ... they just keep on coming! We end the first half with the 'Summer of Love' and music from The Mamas and the Papas, The Fifth Dimension (Aquarius) and more!
The second half is even more incredible, with acts like Mick Jagger, Madonna, Michael Jackson, Dire Straits, Abba, Whitney Houston, Cliff Richard, Ah-Ha, Wings, ELO, Billy Joel ... all vying for position as the group lets the music come thick and fast. It's like going to see all the groups live in one evening! The impressions are superb and the comedy both fresh and occasionally groan-inducing.
If audience reaction is anything to go by, the show is an absolute hit from start to end, with the audience singing along, and, at the end, actually getting to their feet to clap and cheer and dance in the aisles ... and considering that our audience was predominantly over sixty years old, that's no mean feat!
As I said at the start ... if you get a chance to go see them, then please do. If you like music, and enjoy pop from the fifties right through to songs from the MTV era of the eighties, then you will love it! The musicianship is second to none, the singing is amazing and the costume changes perfect.
It's a superbly entertaining night out, and suitable for anyone! (Though some of the comedy is somewhat risque, so perhaps not for the under eighteens ...)

Eos announces 1.5 GWh of zinc battery storage projects across Texas and California
The summer of battery storage rolls on, with zinc hybrid cathode technology now announcing massive development news.
September 1, 2020 Tim Sylvia
Eos' Aurora System
Image: Eos
This summer, we've seen developments in non-lithium-ion battery chemistries — including a forecast where lithium-iron-phosphate becomes the predominant chemistry and millions in funding for the commercialization of metal hydrogen batteries. Now, zinc hybrid cathode technology is entering the mix, with Eos Energy Storage announcing orders for more than 1.5 GWh of projects.
As part of the Texas battery boom, EOS has entered into an agreement to supply 1 GWh of standalone battery energy storage systems to International Electric Power, in projects connected to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) grid.
Under the terms of the agreement, Eos will manufacture, design and deliver multiple battery energy storage projects to the grid starting in the third quarter of 2021. Since the agreement is in its infancy, the final number of projects and their locations have not been decided upon yet, though it does appear that these will be standalone storage projects.
Eos will also be providing operations and maintenance services across the projects' 20-year expected lifespans.
Storage in the Golden State
The fun doesn't stop in Texas, however, as Eos has also entered into an agreement with Carson Hybrid Energy Storage (CHES) to supply the company with 500 MWh of battery energy storage systems for the California power gtrid.
According to Eos, the long duration battery solutions will be used "in parallel with existing power generation and substation architecture to store renewable energy generated capacity, and to provide power quality and better resilience." This would imply that, unlike the Texas projects, these installations may be paired with generation stations, like solar facilities. A recent Berkeley Labs presentation showed the California Independent System Operator solar queue having a battery attachment rate for solar projects of 67%.
Going public via SPAC
Outside of announcing massive new project developments, Eos has a pretty large internal development going on alongside. In June, the company filed a letter of intent for a business combination transaction with B. Riley Principal Merger Corp. II, one which would result in Eos becoming a public company.
The two companies expect the execution of a definitive agreement for the business combination imminently, at which point the potential business combination is expected to be completed during the fourth quarter of 2020.

The Rocks is the oldest area of Sydney and has recently undergone an amazing metamorphosis, the old district being transformed into a vibrant pocket of cafes and restaurants and interesting tourist shops and stalls. This has been achieved without destroying the area's Old World charm and historic buildings. Sydney's town planners have put in place a sensitive conservation program that has preserved the heritage and character of The Rocks and brought about an interesting fusion of modern amenities in an old and valued setting.
The Rocks, along with Dawes and Millers Points, form Sydney's oldest residential precinct–the rocky promontory where convict tents were erected in 1788.
Despite generations of change, traces of early convict settlements can still be found pubs and churches, archaeological digs and houses all evoke memories of past lives and ways.
The city's oldest building, Cadman's Cottage (circa1816), is located here, along with the Argyle Cut, excavated by convicts in the 1840s.
Enjoy the diverse selection of historic pubs offering everything from a quiet drink and a meal through to live bands and DJ's.
On weekends and at festival times, there is usually free entertainment, with outdoor concerts and street theatre. Many of The Rocks' pubs offer live music – jazz, folk and pop. The Rocks Market operates every weekend, from 10am to 5pm each day, and until 6pm in summer months. Some 100 stalls are set up under a series of sail-like canopies, filling the lower end of George Street . The stalls are filled with a wide range of Australian gift ideas, homewares and collectibles.
Of special interest to children is the Puppet Cottage, in Kendall Lane, while grown-ups may be more interested in taking a look at the colony's first windmill, up on Observatory Hill, or dropping in to Sydney's oldest remaining pub, the Lord Nelson, built in 1844.
Within The Rocks district the Museum of Contemporary Art, The Merchants House, Susannahs Place, Discovery Museum and Cadman's Cottage (at 110 George Street), which was built in 1816 as barracks for the crew of the governor's boats and is Sydney's oldest surviving dwelling.
A major civic space, the forecourt to Customs House at Circular Quay.
Located in a quiet precinct, adjacent to historic St Phillip's and St Patrick's churches and the former Scot's Church, this pleasant wedge-shaped park is a haven for office workers seeking sun and green grass.
Between the Museum of Contemporary Art and Circular Quay and ideal for basking in the sun, or just watching ferries and people go by.
Stunning views of Sydney Harbour, the Harbour Bridge, Walsh Bay, Parramatta River and Balmain from the highest point in the City.
Tropical plants, duck ponds, palm groves and stunning harbour views are just a sample of what you will find at these magnificent gardens.
The Rocks is best known for its gift, fashion, duty-free and 'Australiana' shopping. You'll find dozens of enticing stores around George Street, Nurses Walk, the Argyle Centre and Playfair Street, and there is a good selection of Aboriginal and other art galleries.
There are also shops around Circular Quay, and upmarket clothes shopping at Circular Quay East, while The Rocks Market (Saturday and Sunday) and Sydney Opera House Markets (Sunday) are great places to browse or buy good quality gifts and crafts.

Jenny explored Regal's cabin. Her cabin now. She buried Regal five days ago, when she came back to life. She spent her days going through his notes and trying to sort her memories. Regal's pantry was completely stocked when she woke up. She would need supplies soon, but she did not know where town was. Nor did she have any idea about what she might use for money. If worse came to worse she could hunt using her magic. She quickly grew used to using the world's magic. She practiced after sunset, because she enjoyed the colors. Before the sun went down she heard a knock at Regal's door. It opened before she could answer it.
"Regal! Supplies." A young voice said. A boy walked in the door carrying two large burlap sacks. One hitched over his back, the other in his arms. He stopped when he saw Jenny. He dropped the single bag from his arms. "You're alive?" He stared at her. He set the other bag down from his back and went to hug Jenny.
"That's great!" The boy jumped up and down around her. "Where's Regal?" Jenny lowered her head.
"I'm Aury." Jenny sighed. This boy definitely knew Regal. "Of course you are. But who are you? What are you doing here?" Aury picked up the bags from the floor and began putting things on shelves in the pantry. "I'm Sarah's son. When my mom died I took over helping Regal while he worked his magic on you." Aury finished in the pantry and joined Jenny in the main room. Jenny had seen Sarah's name several times going through Regal's notes. "My mom spoke about you a lot. Regal told her how powerful you used to be. Do you know magic?" Jenny smiled and flashed blue glowing eyes at Aury.
"I'm sorry to hear that," Jenny said. Aury shrugged.
"It's been years, I'm fine. But can you teach me?" He looked eager.
"I'm not going to say no," Jenny placed a hand on his shoulder. "But, I'm not going to say yes either. Not yet. I've still got some things to figure out. Once I know what my next step is, then I'll see if I can fit you in there." Aury nodded, looking slightly defeated.
"He brought you back to defeat the Demon Queen. She hasn't visited this world herself, yet. But she does have forces here." Aury said.
"I can't do it alone, I need help. Did your mom tell you any stories about SoundCrowd?" His eyes flashed excitement for a second, then dimmed again with disappointment.
"Tons! But you probably want to know where to find them. I'm sorry, I don't know any of that." Aury stuck his hands in his pocket. "I do have this though. My mom said it was a good luck charm, but I had to give it to you when you woke up. Aury gave Jenny a small, single red cube. Like a die, but with no dots on it. Jenny recognized it instantly. She smiled and hugged Aury.
"THANKS! This is perfect!" She grabbed the die and tossed it at the wall of the cabin. A black portal appeared. Jenny wondered if she should step through, or wait for someone to come through. Her answer came in the form of a question from the empty portal.
"Hello? Regal?" Jenny heard a familiar drawl. She grew excited, and shouted out.
"No kidding?" A white cowboy boot stepped out of the portal, followed by a short man with a long blue pony tail. Vegas had gambling related tattoos up and down his arms. A golden beer bottle with the number '25' was tattooed on his right hand. A pair of red dice tattooed on his left. Vegas looked as young as he did the last time Jenny saw him. Over 30 years ago, going by Regal's journals.
"You haven't aged at all!" Jenny shouted and hugged Vegas, he returned the hug with vigor, shaking her in his arms.
"You sure have. No offense though, you look better than you did in two pieces. I accidentally stumbled across the fountain of youth. Want some?" Jenny almost took him up on the offer, but hesitated.
"No thank you. I kind of like these crow's feet." She smiled at Vegas.
"Can you round everyone up for me, please? Bring them here." Vegas bowed.
"D.D. is easy. Bailey and Foley are going to take a bit. Time moves differently where they're hiding out. You're probably looking at about five years," Vegas said. Jenny sighed.


After a beautiful weekend and start to the week the weather broke and it's cold, grey, wet and miserable today. The swifts and house martins are conspicuous by their absence, they've gone to hunt in brighter skies although the nest building is coming on well. The big event this week was most junior office dog Hebe had her birthday, she's now two years old and officially no longer a puppy - will someone tell her that please, apologies to any callers who heard strange squeakings, it was just the birthday ball.
Our article in Monday's edition of CJS Weekly is about the incredible migration of the painted lady butterflies, one has been reported in Goathland so they've reached us too. But even more amazing is that bottlenose dolphins have been reported off Whitby, see our local paper, The Whitby Gazette, for more details.
Oh, yes and CJS Weekly is now printing, 10 pages this week with 91 new paid posts of which 27 came direct to CJS.


If you are temporarily unable to engage with your studies, you can apply for an authorised interruption of study. An interruption of study involves taking a complete break from study for an agreed period of time, usually for up to one academic year.
Students wishing to undertake their studies away from Edinburgh for a given period of time should contact their School regarding taking a Leave of Absence (this does not apply to students on online programmes).
If you are considering requesting an interruption of study, you should first discuss this with your Personal Tutor, Programme Director, or Supervisor.
Taking an authorised interruption of study may have financial and visa implications. You are encouraged to speak with an advisor at the Edinburgh University Students' Association Advice Place who can provide independent advice about the potential financial and other implications of taking an interruption. Further information is available via the link below.
International students may also wish to speak with a member of staff at the International Student Advisory Service, who can provide advice and guidance in relation to any visa implications which may arise as a consequence of taking an interruption. Further information is available via the link below.
If you are undertaking a taught programme, or a programme with taught components, you should be aware that courses and programmes may change while you are interrupted, which may mean, for example, returning to a different set of course options from those available before you took an interruption.
If you are a postgraduate research student, you should ensure a clear plan is in place with your Supervisor regarding contact arrangements and your return from interruption, which may be a phased return. Where relevant, you should also speak with your funding body to ensure that you are aware of any funding or other implications that may result from taking an interruption of study. Please note that an interruption of study is not the same as an extension.
All students requesting an interruption of study should complete a return to study plan with their Personal Tutor or Supervisor.
Your School or College will ask you to fill in a form to apply for an interruption, and may also ask you to provide relevant evidence to support your application. The form requires you to provide information on why you are requesting an interruption of study. You should provide as much relevant detail as possible and explain how taking an authorised interruption of study would be beneficial to you.
You can also ask for advice and assistance in completing the form from your Personal Tutor or Supervisor, who can help you put together a return to study plan.
You can find the Authorised Interruption of Study Form below.
The University is committed to supporting students who require time away from their studies, where this will assist them in gaining the best possible outcome in their studies, or support their career aspirations.
Once you have submitted your application, the relevant authorising officer within the College or School will consider this and decide whether you will be offered an authorised interruption of study.
Applications will be considered sympathetically and decision makers will consider whether the interruption would support successful completion of your programme.
Your College or School will inform you of the decision via e-mail.
If your application is refused, you have the right to request a review of the decision. Colleges and Schools responsible for making decisions on applications can advise regarding the process for requesting a review. The Advice Place can support you in this process.
During an interruption you will still be subject to University policies, rules and regulations, including the Code of Student Conduct.
Ahead of your return to study, your School will make contact with you to make sure that any necessary arrangements can be made to support your return. They will also be able to answer any queries that you may have and update you regarding any changes which have taken place during the period of interruption. In some cases, the School may request evidence of your fitness to return to study, such as when you have interrupted your study for medical reasons.
If you do not feel able to return to your studies, it may be possible to request an additional interruption.


I have successfully installed ITS 6.20 & We are using ECC 6.0, But when I try to logon to the Admin service. I gives an error message saying <b>"Please use the Latest SAP GUI version"</b>.Please help me solve this problem.
Yeah, I am talking about admin instance. We are implementing external ITS.
to clarify which problem we are discussing here.
that you are trying to connect to an ITS admin instance?
is no admin instance available.
I have installed SAP ITS 6.20 On my system. Its a single host installation. In the Back end I am connecting to the ECC 6.0.
I think it would be helpful if you could answer Tobias question.
Plz find the contents of the service files & i haven't changed its contents.
Which port numbers do you have configured for you different ITS instances? Does the ADM instance have an individual port number?
No we using the default port number for both the instances.
The problem is with the compatibilty.
I would like to point out that Tobias is right here. A standalone ITS 6.20 that is configured correctly has a perfectly working ADMIN service on its own.
So as far as the ADMIN service is concerned there is no compatibility issue at all because no communication with any kind of backend is needed for that. There is no relation between the ADMIN service and a 7.00 kernel at all.

Plotinus: A Bibliography 1950-2000
Richard Dufour, Plotinus : a bibliography, 1950-2000. Phronesis.. Leiden: Brill, 2002. 174 pages ; 25 cm. ISBN 9789004127807 $139.00.
Edward Moore, St. Elias School of Orthodox Theology. emoore@st-elias-edu.us
This volume utilizes the general format of Luc Brisson's bibliography of Plato, as the compiler Richard Dufour [hereafter D.] acknowledges in his introduction to this work. The only difference is that D. has added four very helpful indexes to aid the user in locating precisely the works that he or she is seeking. These indexes are divided according to general themes; authors and themes; treatises; and Greek words, offering a handy tool for navigating the vast ocean of Plotinus scholarship that has emerged in the past fifty years.
The bibliography itself is divided into two major sections: Greek texts and translations, and Studies. The first section is helpfully subdivided into Greek texts and commentaries, including further subdivisions for manuscript studies, linguistic studies, commentaries on single treatises, groups of treatises, etc. In short, the arrangement is such that the researcher will not have to wade through superfluous entries to find material relevant to his or her topic. Each Study (1542 of them in total) is accompanied by a bold-faced number. These numbers are used in the four indexes, making location of entries very easy. In the Index of Themes, key-words are arranged alphabetically. The Index of Authors and Themes contains a listing of all entries that include an author other than Plotinus. The Index of Treatises uses the Porphyrian method of numbering the Enneads for easy reference. Finally the Index of Greek Words lists in transliterated form all Greek terms or phrases in the titles of studies.
D. states in his introduction that the aim of the bibliography is to be exhaustive. However, as D. explains, "most bibliographical reference works have not yet reached the year 2000. L'Année Philologique, for example, has just published the volume covering the year 1997." Attempts were made by D. to locate new studies by searching library catalogues, consulting the latest issues of major journals, and even frequenting bookstores. "These efforts, however, can never contend with the incredible amount of work by institutions like L'Année Philologique. As a result, the exhaustiveness of this bibliography is slowly reduced as we near the new millennium" (1). Yet this unfortunate fact does not reduce the overall value of this volume. The immense amount of effort expended by D. in compiling this bibliography will surely be appreciated by Plotinus scholars, who will certainly find their own research aided. Given the overall quality of this volume, there is very little to criticize. A couple of very minor criticisms, which do not detract from the usefulness of this work, are to be noted.
D. has provided "explanatory notes" for certain references "bearing an ambiguous title or providing little information" (2). This is certainly a good idea, and useful as far as it goes. Yet I found some of these explanatory notes to be themselves ambiguous at times, and rather selective. For example, reference 50, to an article by A.H. Armstrong,1 contains the following explanatory note: "Concerns a text of Plotinus (II, 9, 9, 26-83) seemingly directed against the Gnostics, but which targets Christians" (39). The manner of this statement makes it unclear whether Armstrong himself makes this argument in the article, or if this is an editorial statement by D. In Armstrong's introduction to his translation of this text, as well as his footnote to II, 9, 9, 50, where he references the Christian heresiologist Irenaeus' similar remarks (in Adversus Haereses II. 30) against Gnostic theology, he points to the very similar critiques carried out against the Gnostics by both pagan Greek philosophers and orthodox Christian theologians.2 While it would surely have been impossible for D. to provide explanatory notes for all "ambiguous" entries, one would think that entry 738 (94), for example, on Heidegger and Neoplatonism (specifically Plotinus and Pseudo-Dionysius),3 would have warranted at least a brief explanatory note on the general thesis of that article.
There is also the matter of Greek transliteration. D's decision to transliterate eta with the symbol è rather than with the standard ê seems unnecessary.

Hospitality House Announces New Executive Director
by Hospitality House March 10, 2017
GRASS VALLEY, Calif. March 10, 2017 – Hospitality House, the only emergency homeless shelter in Nevada County, has announced the selection of Nancy Baglietto as its new executive director. Nancy will fill the vacancy created by founder Cindy Maple's departure in June 2016. The selection was made after a state-wide search and selection process, involving members of local law enforcement, Grass Valley city council, Nevada County behavioral health, Hospitality House board and management staff.
"Nancy is just the kind of experienced leader we need," explains architect Robert Wallis, Hospitality House Board Chair. "She has served nonprofits at all levels including client, operations, fundraising, and executive, allowing her to bring a breadth of perspective and a deep sense of commitment to helping our homeless neighbors. "
An experienced executive leader and manager with an outstanding track record of delivering results, Baglietto is currently serving as executive director for Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter (FAAS), located in the Bay Area. At FAAS, her accomplishments include negotiating a budgetary contract with the city for ongoing support. Baglietto demonstrates a remarkable capacity to galvanize effective coalitions, an approach the Hospitality House Board deems critical in expanding relationships with city and county agencies and the community.

What are the measurements of Lionel postwar trains?
How big is a Lionel post war train? The answer isn't as simple as it could be, because these were toys, and it varied. This is confusing even to experienced train hobbyists sometimes. But I can give you some guidelines and ranges and explain why there were such variances in Lionel post war train dimensions and measurements.
They were toys
The first thing to remember is that Lionel trains were first and foremost toys. They were not attempting to be fine scale models. Their job was to resemble a real train while hitting a certain price point and fitting in a post war living space. The market for basement sized layouts was not enormous. Lionel wanted to be a mass market company, and they achieved it. For a time in the 1950s, they were the largest toy company in the world, and the trains were essentially their only successful product. Lionel made other toys, but they were imitations of competing toys and they were not nearly as successful.
Lionel product ranges
The trains came in essentially two product ranges. Lionel called one of them O gauge, and later Super O, and they called the other one o27. The 027 line wasn't entry level product, intended as a starter set for parents to buy as a Christmas gift, but not a super extravagant one. Think of it like a game console today. At the time of this writing, Nintendo has three models of Nintendo switch. These models retail for $200, $300, and $350. The least expensive model serves two purposes. Someone who can't afford one of the more expensive ones can buy that one. But it also makes the $300 model appear to be a better value.
The way Lionel could meet several price points was by varying the size. The smaller trains made the bigger trains look like the better value.
Size of Lionel 027 trains
This is my Dad's postwar Lionel O27 train. As you can see from the picture, the locomotive, tender, and boxcar work out to about 24 inches in length. Add two more cars and a caboose and you're talking closer to 4 feet total. The measurements of Lionel postwar trains varied but 3-4 feet in length is a good rough estimate.
A Lionel 027 engine was about 2 in wide and 9 in long. The cars were somewhat shorter, around 8 to 8 and 1/2 in long, but still about 2 in wide. The height varied depending on the type of car, but was generally a maximum of 3 and 1/2 in, with 3 in being more typical.
The length of the entire train depended on the number of cars, but a typical set would include a steam locomotive, a tender, two freight cars, and a caboose. Add those totals up, and you get around 45 inches in length.
The track itself came in sections. The name of 27 came from the size of the curved sections. A circle of sectional track measured 27 inches. A straight section of track was about 8.75 inches. The actual length could vary slightly due to tolerances, but we won't get pedantic. If you made an oval out of the track that came with a typical starter set, you ended up with an oval that was 27 inches wide, and 44.5 inches long.
Watching a train chase its tail on such a small oval of track got boring after a while, and that was the point. The whole idea was to sell a starter set, and then sell pieces of track, additional train cars, buildings, and other accessories to keep it interesting. That's where the money was, just like in game consoles. You sell the console one year, then you sell software and accessories for years afterward.
Measurements of Lionel o gauge trains
The larger more expensive trains were about 15% larger than the entry level 027 Lionel trains. An o gauge steam engine tended to be closer to 10 and 1/2 in long. The train cars were closer to 9 and 1/2 in long.
A train consisting of a steam engine and tender, two freight cars, and a caboose ended up being somewhere between 48 and 50 in long, depending on the configuration. The cars were still around 2 in wide, and a fraction of an inch taller than their 027 counterparts. But the size difference wasn't too great. The idea was if someone bought a starter set and then got a higher end set, the trains would still work together and the 027 trains wouldn't look too far out of place.
Trap was slightly larger, with a circle measuring 31 in, and an oval in a very basic set would be 31 in wide and 51 in long. Notice a basic train looked a little less ridiculous chasing its tail on an 031 loop. Lionel was clever.
Measurements of Lionel trains: in conclusion
The size and measurements varied, and this was by design. Generally speaking, the individual component ranged from about 8 in to 11 in in length, and an oval of track ranged from about 48 in in length and 27 in wide to whatever you have room for. My dad had a layout in the bedroom he shared with his brother that was probably about 4 ft by 8 ft wide. But not every family had that much room, so it could easily fit in an area closer to 15 square feet if that was all you had.

"I've got to run and get paint supplies," I said to my son.
"Do you want me to go with you?" he replied. A heroic offer, since he had just relaxed on the couch to watch a sitcom. He turned off the TV before I had even answered, and we hopped into the car.
On the way to the hardware store, we saw some kids who had gotten off at the bus stop after school. Caleb reminisced about his first year of high school and the horrible experience of riding the bus every day.
We went to Home Depot, and I suffered decision paralysis in the paintbrush section. He waited patiently. Then we checked out, and I realized I had forgotten something, so back we went. "Thanks for sticking with me," I said to him.
Matt had come home early to paint house trim, before a week of rain set in, and Caleb and I finally got home with the paint supplies. But then I realized I had forgotten the paint scraper.
So I went to a friend's house, and they didn't have one. I drove to the hardware store again, except with a rising blood pressure. Why does everything have to be so hard sometimes? I thought.
"Building character," my son would say.
Riding the bus to school and making two trips to the hardware store –not the greatest suffering in the world, but it feels like it in the moment. It's easy to get grumpy, and grumpiness doesn't refine character and certainly does not lead to hope.
Instead will you rejoice in your hard day because you know what it can produce in you? How will you persevere? What character trait is the Lord cultivating in your soul? When your heart grows in character today, how will that produce hope for the days to come?

Charlotte looks to put tough loss in their rearview mirror against Western Kentucky
by Cam WilliamsOct 26, 2021Football
49ers travel to Kentucky to face the Hilltoppers in a crucial C-USA East battle
Take what they learned from the FAU game, and put the negative thoughts in the rearview mirror; this was Head Coach Will Healy's thoughts about the last game against FAU as the team prepares for another tough test against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
"The sun came up on Friday morning in case any of y'all were wondering," Healy said. "It was a tough second half for us on Thursday. I take full responsibility for that."
Healy is taking every game as a "one game at a time' type of mentality and this upcoming game against WKU will be no different in terms of how the team prepares, but Healy wants them to just prepare better.
The 49ers haven't seen a team quite like WKU in how fast and up-tempo the Hilltoppers like to play. It will be different, but senior defensive end Markees Watts feels based on how they practice, the game will slow down and they won't be uncomfortable.
"We have a chance to be really good as a defense but we just have to finish," Watts said. "It is something that we are continuing to work on."
The 49ers have played one similar opponent to the Hilltoppers in FIU a few weeks ago. Both the Panthers and the Hilltoppers like to try and beat teams over the top, and this is everpresent in Hilltopper quarterback Bailey Zappe's numbers. He completes 71% of his passes and has over 3,000 yards on the year. It will be a challenge for the corners and safeties this week without question.
The Hilltoppers are battle-tested as many of their losses were close games against quality opponents such as Indiana, Michigan State, UTSA and Army. It will be a challenge that Healy looks forward to nonetheless.
"I am ready to see how these guys respond," Healy said.
Currently, there are four teams atop the east side of C-USA and this game could go a long way for the 49ers in their hunt for the east side crown.
The 49ers are currently 18 point underdogs in Vegas, but this is a team that likes to make bettors go insane, so look for them to come out ready to play come Saturday.
the forecast is calling for rain showers and a high of 59 degrees. Sloppy conditions could neutralize WKU's explosive offense and level the playing field for Charlotte tomorrow. Kick is slated for 4pm ET and you can tune in via ESPN+.

Usain Bolt lost one of his nine Olympic gold medals Wednesday when the International Olympic Committee stripped Jamaica of their 4x100m relay win at the 2008 Beijing Games after a team-mate was caught doping.
It is the result of retesting of hundreds of samples from the Beijing Games and means that Bolt — who had previously described the prospect as "heartbreaking" — loses one of the three gold medals he won at that Olympics.
Bolt's relay team-mate Nesta Carter, who ran the first leg of the race, was found to have tested positive for the banned substance methylhexaneamine, which was once used in nasal decongestants but now is more commonly found as an ingredient in dietary supplements.
Last year, warned of the case against Carter, Bolt said: "It's heartbreaking because over the years you've worked hard to accumulate gold medals and work hard to be a champion -– but it's just one of those things.
"Things happen in life so when it's confirmed or whatever, if I need to give back my gold medal I'd have to give it back, it's not a problem for me," Bolt said, while praising the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) and the IAAF for their efforts to stamp out doping.
An IOC statement said re-analysis of the 2008 samples of Carter, 31, "resulted in a positive test for the prohibited substance methylhexaneamine".
The IOC Disciplinary Commission ruled that Carter "is found to have committed an anti-doping rule violation pursuant to the IOC Anti-Doping Rules applicable to the Games of the XXIX Olympiad in Beijing in 2008".
As such, he "is disqualified from the men's 4x100m relay event" and must return his medal while the team — led by sprint king Bolt — is likewise disqualified and they must hand back their medals.
Trinidad and Tobago, who came second, are promoted to gold medal winners, while Japan move up to silver and Brazil win bronze.
The IOC said that Russia's Tatiana Lebedeva, who won silver in the women's triple jump event and long jump in 2008, had also been disqualified following re-analysis of her samples, which showed up positive for the steroid dehydrochlormethyltestosterone (turinabol), also on the banned list.
"I received that information (she would lose her Beijing medals) a long ago, in the autumn," she told Sport Express.
"I can say for sure that I never intended to dope and I do not consider myself being guilty of cheating.
"Of course, nobody has proof against accidental mistakes. But even if I made a mistake, it should be proved in court," said Lebedeva, saying her lawyer was working on an appeal even if she rated her chances of succeeding as "minimal".
The IOC has been retesting hundreds of samples from Beijing 2008 and London 2012 as latest technology allows experts to detect new cases which were previously undetectable.
In the case of relay events, if one member of the team is found to have used illegal substances, the whole team is stripped of their medals.
To date, 1,243 samples from the Beijing and London Games have been re-analysed.
Last month the IOC's medical director Richard Budgett said he expected to see further cases of doping emerge from re-testing of London samples following 101 positive cases from those Games in 2016.
On January 12, the IOC announced three Chinese weightlifting champions from the 2008 Games had tested positive for the banned GHRP-2, a human growth hormone.
Following last month's publication of the McLaren report into state doping in Russia the IOC indicated 32 Russian athletes who participated at the Sochi Winter Games in 2014 were facing a disciplinary procedure for alleged doping.
Russia has denied state-sponsored doping.
Referring to Lebedeva's case, Russia's Athletics Federation (RusAF) chief Dmitry Shlyakhtin regretted what he termed a "sad echo of the past".

But with the use of these machines, the conclusion item outcome to presenting a high quality. This is for the main reason that the plastic molds are put into these machines then they're confronted with temperature till they turn into fluid. Which means that the machinery must tolerate up high temperature and thus comes around the prerequisite of complex e quipments.
The plastic mold though mixed follows the form of the shape or the empty place applied and get resolved or solidified in it. After a while, the created substance is cast out from the worthless space. The similar hole may possibly be utilized to make a number of molds. It may be in virtually any chosen form. It's two aspects namely injection mold and ejector mold. The dissolved plastic mold resin is moved to the cast and the ejector mold supports expelling the plastic mold bit subsequent their solidification in the throw with no any scratch by the use of ejecting pins.
The plastic injection molding process is not an intricate one. Molding processes of this sort concerning metals return a long time, and simple maxims have not transformed, just the strategy and materials.
Obviously, you've seen what the finished product seems are. You have seen them more instances than you might be aware of. You have observed them as vehicle emblems, product and commercial nameplates, custom plastic nameplates, recreational product nameplates, point-of-purchase, plaques and signs. They load the entire world around you, but have you any idea how are they produced?
The method starts with a plastic pellet manufactured from a composite of natural and inorganic polymers, plus additives to assist in the melting process. That small pellet is thrown into a hopper with 1000s of other pellets. That begins the trip from pellet to product. The next thing is mouldplastic.
Next, by using hydraulic or physical stress, the air gets captive in the shape in order to free the air. It is called a dwelling process. When stress has been set ahead, air cavities are pressed to just one place of the useless space. After that, the substance is allowed to harden and the form is chilled. Lastly, the spend the hardened plastic mold is thrown from the mold automatically or manually.
The plastic mold parts knowledge a modification within their compound and physical houses once the cooling process occurs. The absolute most well-known design looked at the plastic injection molding is the distance across of the cast. Commonly, a mold having a standardized wall thickness is superior. This aids in decreasing the alterations in physical properties of plastic mold pieces.
