Licence To Thrill: Aladdin
by Darran Jones, 26 December 2016
Publisher: Various
Developer: Various
If you're a fan of the family-friendly fun of Disney's animated films, you'll undoubtedly remember the early Nineties with a great deal of fondness. Having recovered from the commercial disappointments of the Seventies and Eighties, as well as the blow of losing Don Bluth and a number of other animators, the company had entered a renaissance period of critically and commercially-successful films. The Little Mermaid had done well with both critics and the cinema-going public, and Beauty And The Beast had blown it out of the water in terms of box office takings. Not to be outdone, the directors of The Little Mermaid returned with an adaptation of the Arabian folk tale Aladdin and managed to take the record for the highest-grossing animated film of all time.
While Aladdin featured all the hallmarks of a great Disney film, from beautiful animation to memorable songs, the film was able to draw on star power that hadn't been available to its predecessors. While Aladdin, his love interest Jasmine and the dastardly Jafar all had actors who weren't well known, the genie of the lamp was played by Robin Williams – a huge deal at a time when actors would rarely cross over from live-action roles to voice acting. With over $500 million taken at the box office, it wasn't a question of if the tie-in merchandise would arrive, but just how much of it.
Aladdin was a huge success on the Mega Drive, going on to become the system's third best-selling game.
For gaming fans, that meant licensed games, and there was cause to be excited about that – the last few years had seen a number of excellent Disney licensed games on consoles, including the likes of DuckTales and Castle Of Illusion. Recognising the value of the Aladdin licence, Disney did something unusual and split the rights amongst a number of parties. Three companies ended up with the rights to publish games; Sega was granted the right to publish games on its own platforms, Capcom got the licence for the SNES, and Virgin had the option to produce versions for other computers and consoles.
First out of the blocks was Sega. The company initially assigned the project to BlueSky Software, which had previously delivered Ariel The Little Mermaid for the publisher. However, progress was slow as the small team was also working on Jurassic Park. With no easy way to prioritise either project and Disney growing displeased with the lack of progress, the plug was pulled on BlueSky's version. Luckily for Sega, which had lost a lot of time, Disney had a preferred partner which was willing to do business in the form of Virgin Games. It helped that the company's president, Martin Alper, had a previous relationship with Sega from his time at Mastertronic, which had distributed the company's hardware and software in Europe until 1991. What's more, Virgin had a team capable of delivering high-quality Mega Drive games, as it had proven itself with Cool Spot.
The resulting three-way deal saw Sega handle publishing duties, Virgin Games taking on development and Disney providing animation and licensing rights. Animation cels would be hand-drawn by Disney's own animators, then sent to Virgin for digitising and programming into the game. The result was striking – other games had skilful imitation of Disney animation, but Aladdin had the real thing. Enemies lost their trousers when hit and danced painfully across hot coals in the streets of Agrabah, and Aladdin himself was a restless chap, constantly scouting the area for guards. Very rarely did a game live up to the promise of cartoon-quality animation, but it was easy to see that Aladdin did as the titular character shimmied his way up ropes and engaged in swordplay.
Many of the early stages in the SIMS version are forced-scrolling obstacle courses.
The game wasn't just visually stunning. As programmer and project manager, David Perry delivered his best platform game yet. Aladdin felt like Cool Spot in his movements, particularly when jumping around, but the game was a step ahead in terms of level design – in part, just because the film offered so much inspiration. Aladdin's acrobatic escape from Agrabah's guards, the magic carpet ride from an exploding Cave Of Wonders and even the song Never Had a Friend Like Me all provided ideas for stages. Additionally, attacking enemies was fun. You could lob apples if you liked, but there was more fun in sidling up to an enemy and swiping with a sword. Excellent renditions of the film's music from Tommy Tallarico and Donald S. Griffin capped the whole thing off.
On the SNES side of things, Capcom took a different approach. The planner was a pre-Resident Evil Shinji Mikami, whose previous cartoon licence work included Goof Troop and Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Capcom's game was amongst the most aesthetically pleasing on the console, with excellent visuals and audio, but Disney's lighter level of involvement showed – the sprites all looked beautiful, but the refined shading ensured that they didn't quite look like Disney's work.
Other changes were afoot, too. While Aladdin didn't look as close to his film counterpart as in the Mega Drive game, he acted a lot more similarly. His athletic abilities were heavily emphasised, as he could clamber up platforms, vault over posts, swing from poles and a lot more. Everyone's favourite street rat could still chuck apples, but swordplay was off the menu. Instead, he was able to jump on the heads of enemies in the traditional platform game style.
We're pretty sure this bomb-headed bonehead doesn't appear in the film.
Mikami has famously said that he'd have bought the Mega Drive version if he hadn't made the SNES version, as he liked that game's swordplay. We'd say that downplays the quality of his own game, though. Capcom's Aladdin is an excellent platformer in its own right, featuring a different style of gameplay and some top class level design. These days, you don't have to pick and we'd argue that both games are well worth playing – indeed, some will prefer the agility-focused SNES game over the more combat-oriented Mega Drive one.
Of course, back in 1993 that wasn't the case. Both games arrived in November 1993, shortly after the home video release of the film. Aladdin did well for Capcom on the SNES, but didn't hit the million sales mark – thus falling a long way short of the Mega Drive version, which came out a couple of weeks earlier and was given Sega's full marketing support. Between retail sales and console bundle deals, Aladdin shifted a massive 4 million copies and became the Mega Drive's third highest-selling game ever, behind only the first two Sonic games. The Capcom version of the game only reappeared once, for the Game Boy Advance in 2003, so it was the Mega Drive version that would go on to have a greater legacy. Thanks to Virgin Games' publishing rights for other platforms, conversions of Aladdin made their way to the PC, Amiga, NES and Game Boy in 1994. The game was also reconverted to Game Boy Color by Crawfish for Ubisoft in 2000. In 1994, Sega published Aladdin for the Master System and Game Gear. Rather than going with Virgin again it assigned the game to its subsidiary SIMS, which had previously designed Tom & Jerry: The Movie. It ended up with a whole new design, and much like the team's previous game it was one of the best-looking games ever to appear on Sega's 8-bit formats, but didn't have the gameplay to match the gorgeous looks.
It's fitting that one of the most thrilling parts of the film is also great fun in the game.
Aladdin was a much less combative protagonist in SIMS' game, with limited attacking opportunities meaning that he spent most of his time running from hazards instead. This in itself wouldn't be a problem, but the game wasn't particularly interesting or challenging – beside a poor jumping mechanic, the game offered too many bland forced-scrolling levels. Unsurprisingly, this version never received any new conversions after 1994. Still, these lesser versions did nothing to tarnish Aladdin's name, as Virgin Games had stolen all the headlines. Disney established Disney Interactive Studios in 1994, a move that would have been inconceivable prior to Aladdin. Just as it was a watershed moment for animated films with the unprecedented involvement of a celebrity actor in a voice role, the most-played version of Aladdin marked a turning point for licensed games with the unprecedented involvement of a rights holder in doing its videogame justice.

Tag: Gimme Shelter
Clips & Pix: The Rolling Stones/Gimme Shelter
And they just keep on rockin'. This live performance of Gimme Shelter is from The Rolling Stones' final show of their No Filter Tour. It happened last night at Hard Rock Live, a 7,000-seat casino amphitheater venue at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood, Fla. While it's obvious they're no longer 20-year-olds, the Stones still sound pretty amazing, and 78-year-old Mick Jagger remains a compelling frontman with an enviable amount of energy.
Gimme Shelter, credited to Jagger and Keith Richards as usual, was mostly written by Richards. According to Songfacts, the tune is about the political and social unrest at the time. There was the war in Vietnam, race riots, and Charles Manson. Mick Jagger sings of needing shelter from this "Storm." The song first appeared on the Stones' studio album Let It Bleed from December 1969. Interestingly, Gimme Shelter wasn't released as a single.
"That song was written during the Vietnam War and so it's very much about the awareness that war is always present," Songfacts quotes Mick Jagger. "It was very present in life at that point. Mary Clayton who did the backing vocals, was a background singer who was known to one of the producers. Suddenly, we wanted someone to sing in the middle of the night. And she was around. She came with her curlers in, straight from bed, and had to sing this really odd lyric. For her it was a little odd – for anyone, in the middle of the night, to sing this one verse I would have been odd. She was great."
Gimme Shelter is a favorite among Stones fans. In 2021, it was ranked at no. 13 in Rolling Stones' list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time – a remarkable showing, given the significant changes the magazine's lists have seen.

Fakefest 2021 – Le Encore
When I left Fakefest on Saturday evening, the first music festival I attended in close to two years, I was a happy camper. Listening live to three top notch tribute bands felt amazing. I had a real blast and knew this was likely not the last time I had come all the way to Atlantic City for this free annual open air event. What I didn't anticipate was the timing of my return the very next day.
After all, I had been on my feet for close to five hours, so the thought of chilling on Sunday and reliving my Saturday at the event by writing a post about it sounded pretty attractive. Even after I had put together the post in the morning and scheduled it for yesterday, spending a quiet Sunday still was my plan. Then I took another look at the lineup for that day and all for sudden I felt, 'damn, why wait until next year to have more fun.' Plus, every great concert needs an encore, so here are some impressions from the final day of Fakefest.
The Gimmer Twins
This Rolling Stones tribute from Philly in and of itself would have been enough of a reason to return to Atlantic City. I've seen this band various times over the past four years. Adopting the nickname of the songwriting partnership of Mick Jagger and Keith Richards, the group is led by Keith Call (vocals, harp) and Bernie Bollendorf (guitars, vocals), who bring to life the sound and looks of Jagger and Richards in the '70s. While the additional musicians don't resemble the other members of Stones, they sound fantastic: Michael Rubino (guitars), Bobby Corea (drums), Rob Ekstedt (bass), Rocco Notte (keyboards), Valorie Steel (vocals) and Bobby Michaels (saxophone, flute, organ). For more information, check out their website.
Some of the tunes The Glimmer Twins performed included Brown Sugar, All Down the Line, Jumpin' Jack Flash, Gimme Shelter, Happy and Tumbling Dice. Here's their rendition of Let's Spend the Night Together, which the Stones first released as a double A single together with Ruby Tuesday on January 13, 1967. The song was also included as the opener of the U.S. version of Between the Buttons, which appeared a week later.
Here's another Stones classic that I think has one of the best lines in rock & roll: It's Only Rock 'n' Roll (But I Like It). The was the lead single of the It's Only Rock 'n' Roll studio album released in October 1974. I like it, yes I do!
Refugee were formed in New York in early 2014 by six musicians who according to the group's website "have a deep love for the music of Tom Petty." Who can blame them? Their members include Mike Epstein (lead vocals, guitar), Dominick Rosato (lead guitar), Andrew Nadien (keyboards, vocals), Hillary Epstein (vocals, harmonica, percussion, keyboards), Chris Arrigo (bass) and Niles Hughes (drums).
Refugee's set featured I Won't Back Down, Free Fallin', Even the Losers, Refugee, Last Dance With Mary Jane, You Wreck Me and American Girl, among others. Here's the opener You Got Lucky, the lead single of Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers' fifth studio album Long After Dark from November 1982.
Let's do another one: Stop Draggin' My Heart Around. Co-written by Tom Petty and Mike Campbell for Stevie Nicks, the song became the first single of her debut solo album Bella Dona that came out in July 1981. The recording also featured Petty and all of the Heartbreakers except Ron Blair – the bass part was instead performed by Donald "Duck" Dunn.
Unforgettable Fire
Unforgettable Fire were formed on New Year's Day in 1995 and, according to their website, were "one of the very first U2 tribute bands to ever perform in America." In addition to playing songs spanning U2's entire catalog, the group also recreates the looks of the Irish band. In particular, I'd like to call out lead vocalist Anthony Russo who bears a striking resemblance to Bono. The band's other members include Mick Normoyle as The Edge, Craig Kiell as Adam Clayton and George Levesanos as Larry Mullen Jr.
Some of the tunes Unforgettable Fire performed featured I Will Follow, With Or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Pride, Mysterious Ways and Gloria. Here's Beautiful Day, followed by Vertigo, from the October 2000 and November 2004 studio albums All That You Can't Leave Behind and How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb, respectively.
The last track I'd like to highlight is Unforgettable Fire's rendition of One. U2 recorded that tune for their seventh studio album Achtung Baby from November 1991.
Yes, driving three hours back and forth from my house to Atlantic City two days in a row was a significant amount of time spent in the car. But I had a blast, so I feel it was worth it!

This week was a bit of a drag, so I'm not unhappy it's over. Of course, this also means it's time to take another look at newly released music. Between an unusual but great sounding bluesy country trio, gospel from an amazing singer who is primarily known as a backing vocalist, as well as some alternative and indie rock, I think I've put together a pretty solid collection of songs. Unless noted otherwise, all music appeared yesterday, April 9. Let's get to it!
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band/Too Cool to Dance
The Reverend Peyton's Big Damn Band (this has got to be one of the coolest band names!) are an American country blues trio from Brown County, Ind. and have been around since 2003. Their members include Josh "The Reverend" Peyton (guitar, lead vocals), his wife "Washboard" Breezy Peyton (washboard) and Max Senteney (drums). According to Apple Music, the band's sound is characterized by thick, bass-heavy, blues-based guitar figures and growling vocals accompanied by muscular but minimal drumming and the metallic percussive scratch of a washboard (making them one of the first rock bands to regularly feature the latter instrument since Black Oak Arkansas). Their style is informed by rural blues, honky-tonk country, and the rebellious spirit of rock & roll, as Reverend Peyton's raw and wiry guitar figures add texture to their straightforward melodies. To date, they have released 10 full-length albums and one EP. Too Cool to Dance is from their new album Dance Songs for Hard Times, which addresses the hopes and fears of life during this seemingly never-ending pandemic. But, as the band's website notes, don't expect to hear depressing music. "I like songs that sound happy but are actually very sad," Peyton says. "I don't know why it is, but I just do." Well, he isn't kidding – check this out!
Merry Clayton/A Song For You
American soul and gospel singer Merry Clayton, who began her recording career in 1962, is best known for providing killer backing vocals on Gimme Shelter, the 1969 tune by The Rolling Stones. Moreover, Clayton sang backing vocals on Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama and recorded with Elvis Presley, The Supremes, Ray Charles, Joe Cocker, Linda Ronstadt and Carole King, among others. In addition, Clayton was a member of Charles' vocal backing group The Raelettes from 1966-1968. In 1963, her solo debut single When the Doorbell Rings appeared. Clayton has also released various solo albums since 1970. In the '80s, she did some acting as well. A Song for You, which was written by Leon Russell and included on his eponymous debut solo album from March 1970, is a track from Clayton's new album Beautiful Scars. She first covered the tune on her eponymous third solo album released in 1971. This may be an old tune and "only" a cover, but I just love Clayton's singing!
The Natvral/New Moon
According to his Bandcamp profile, The Natvral is the new project of Kip Berman, who previously founded American indie rock band The Pains of Being Pure at Heart and was their main songwriter. Between 2009 and 2017, the New York group released four studio albums. As reported by Paste, in November 2019, Berman announced the band had dissolved and that he intended to focus on his new project The Natvral. Well, he did, and the result is Tethers, Berman's debut album under his new name, which came out on April 2nd. Call me crazy, I seem to hear some Bob Dylan in this tune! Regardless, it sounds great to me!
Major Murphy/In the Meantime
Let wrap things up with Major Murphy, an indie rock from Grand Rapids, Mich. According to their artist profile on Apple Music, they were formed in 2015 behind the songwriting of singer/multi-instrumentalist Jacob Bullard. Jacki Warren (synth, bass, vocals) and Brian Voortman (drums) rounded out the lineup. A home-recorded debut EP called Future Release was issued by Winspear later in 2015, and the trio soon committed to performing live regularly and went on their first tours. Winspear released the follow-up EP On & Off Again in July 2017. That November, Major Murphy previewed a more vibrant sound with "Mary," the lead track off their full-length debut. Recorded mostly live in the studio with producer/mixer Mike Bridavsky, No. 1 arrived on Winspear in March 2018. That same year, Chad Houseman joined Major Murphy on guitar, keyboards and percussion. He is on the band's new sophomore album Access, which came out on April 2nd. Here's In the Meantime, written by Bullard. It's a catchy tune that has a bit of a Tom Petty vibe.

Performing Live From Their Homes
A selection of artists who don't allow the coronavirus to stop the music
By now it's safe to assume everybody is getting tired to read about COVID-19, so I'll keep it light. Obviously, one of the many industries that have been hit hard by the coronavirus is the concert business. Painfully but rightly, shows are being canceled or rescheduled all over the place. It simply would be irresponsible to do anything else. The good news is this doesn't mean live performances have come to a standstill.
For example, if you follow the "right" pages on Facebook, you can receive plenty of notifications about live gigs streamed online. Sure, in nearly all cases, these performances are low key and improvised, and the majority of artists who pop up aren't necessarily well-known. Still, there is plenty of great live music you can enjoy over the internet these days. I would also argue that low tech and improvised gigs have their own charm.
Following are some recent performances captured by Rolling Stone as part of their In My Room series. I realize these gigs are not 100 percent comparable to concerts that are live-streamed. It's also safe to assume there was some post-production done to these clips, but the footage still conveys a good deal of spontaneity to me. It's all about the spirit to keep the music going but doing so in a responsible way, so let's get to some of it!
Graham Nash/Our House, 4+20 & Teach Your Children
I simply love everything about this clip. To start, Graham Nash remains a compelling artist. Let's not forget the man is 78 years old. I also like how he is weaving in public service announcements throughout this little concert performed at his home. To me, he comes across as very genuine. All of the tunes are from Déjà Vu, the sophomore album by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Undoubtedly, it's one of the greatest albums that have ever been recorded. Our House and Teach Your Children are Nash compositions, while 4+20 was written by Stephen Stills. Obviously, much of CSNY's magic was in their incredible harmony vocals, which is impossible for Nash to replicate, but none of this really matters. Just watching the man perform makes me happy. You can see his passion. That's what it's all about!
John Fogerty/Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Bad Moon Rising & Long As I Can See the Light
John Fogerty is another rock & roll hero in my book. If I recall it correctly, Have You Ever Seen the Rain was the first Creedence Clearwater Revival song I ever heard as a young kid back my sister. My sister had that tune on vinyl as a 45 single. I've loved Fogerty and this band ever since! Have You Ever Seen the Rain, Bad Moon Rising and Long As I Can See the Light were all written by Fogerty. They appeared on CCR's Pendulum, Green River and Cosmo's Factory studio albums from December 1970, August 1969 and July 1970, respectively. My personal highlight in the above series is Fogerty's performance of the third tune on the piano.
Angélique Kidjo/Gimme Shelter, The Overload & Move On Up
'Damn, damn and damn' is all I can say watching Angélique Kidjo, a Beninese singer-songwriter, actress, and activist of Nigerian descent, sing the above tunes. Have you ever heard such a funky rendition of The Rolling Stones' 1969 classic Gimme Shelter? Or how 'bout Move On Up, one my favorite songs by Curtis Mayfield from his 1970 solo debut album, which she turns into some African liberation song? Her version of The Overload, a tune by Talking Heads from their fourth studio album Remain in Light from October 1980, is almost more haunting than the original. This is some really cool stuff – check it out!
Yola and Birds of Chicago/At Last, It Ain't Easier & Second Cousin
Let's do one more and keep the best for last. I had neither been aware of English musician and singer-songwriter Yola nor Birds of Chicago, an Americana/folk band from the Windy City led by husband and wife JT Nero and Allison Russell. But after I had watched that clip, I was simply blown away – passionate and all-out beautiful singing simply doesn't get much better. And the songs they selected are terrific! At Last, co-written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren, was the title of the debut album by Etta James, released in November 1960. This a capella version of the tune is the highlight of the series. It Ain't Easier was written by Yola and appeared on her debut album Walk Through Fire from February 2019. Last but not least is Second Cousin, which appears to be a tune by Birds of Chicago.

Q: $|G|=2p$, $p \geq 3$ prime then $G$ is abelian or $G \cong D_{2p}$ I am doing the following problem:
Let $G$ be a group such that $|G|=2p$ with $p \geq 3$ prime, then $G$ is abelian or $G \cong D_{2p}$.
Suppose $G$ is not abelian. By Cauchy theorem, there exist $x,y \in G$ with $ord(x)=2$ and $ord(y)=p$. Now, since $|\langle y \rangle |=p$, we have $[G:\langle y \rangle]=\dfrac{|G|}{|\langle y \rangle|}=2$ so $\langle y \rangle \lhd G$. It follows $\langle y \rangle \langle x \rangle =G$.
If I could show $yx=xy^{-1}$, then I could easily show that there exists an isomorphism between $G$ and $D_{2p}$. Since $\langle y \rangle \lhd G$, $xyxy \in \langle y \rangle$. This means $xyxy=y^j$ for some $0\leq j \leq p-1$. I would like to show $j=0$ but at this point I got stuck. I would appreciate help with this part. Thanks in advance.

A: As shown $\langle y\rangle\trianglelefteq G$, and $\langle y\rangle \langle x\rangle=G$. This can be combined as follows: $G$ is generated by $x,y$, and $\langle y\rangle$ is normalized by both $y$ and $x$. Normalization by $x$ says: $x^{-1}\langle y\rangle x=\langle y\rangle$; so $x^{-1}yx=y^i$, $i\neq 1$ (mod $p$). Then $x^{-2}yx^2=x^{-1}y^ix=y^{i^2}$, i.e. $1^{-1}.y.1=y^{i^2}$, so $i^2=1$ mod $p$. As $p\neq 2$, we have $i=1,-1$ mod $p$, (i.e. $i=1$ or $i=p-1$). As $G$ is non-abelian, $i$ must be $-1$, so $G$ becomes Dihedral.

Daisy UK, one of igoo's longest standing clients, appeared on TV's 'Secret Millionaire' last night on Channel 4.
Daisy UK's involvement with the Channel 4 TV programme "Secret Millionaire" has been a big boost to us being able to achieve more of our aims and reach more people.

Daisy UK teach disability awareness through inclusive sports and having been along to see their workshops first hand, we can say with confidence that the work they do is truly amazing. Well done guys!
In case you missed the episode, its available on 4OD. You may also be interested to read the interview in the Liverpool Echo with the secret millionaire himself, Tony Banks.


When we visited China we unfortunately did not get the chance to visit one of our bucket list sights, the Terracotta Warriors, so we were delighted to hear that a selection would be shown in in Liverpool for a limited amount of time.
The exhibition was fascinating, giving insight to the discovery of the warriors and the life of Qin Shi Huang, the first emperor of China. We learnt of why the army was created, which was to ensure protection, and to provide entertainment to the emperor in the afterlife. Along with the Terracotta Warriors, the emperor was joined by 166 men and women, horses and other animals. Qin Shi Huang died at age 49, most likely from mercury poisoning. As he grew older he became obsessed with the idea of immortality, and would ingest mercury as an attempt to live forever.
Here are some of our photographs from the exhibition. Enjoy!

Kyle Broflovski (sometimes spelled Broslovski, Broslofski, Brovlofski or Broflofski) is a main character in the Comedy Central series South Park. He is voiced by and loosely based on co-creator Matt Stone. Kyle is one of the show's four central characters, along with his friends Stan Marsh, Kenny McCormick, and Eric Cartman. He debuted on television when South Park first aired on August 13, 1997, after having first appeared in The Spirit of Christmas shorts created by Stone and long-time collaborator Trey Parker in 1992 (Jesus vs. Frosty) and 1995 (Jesus vs. Santa).
Kyle is a third- then fourth-grade student who commonly has extraordinary experiences not typical of conventional small-town life in his fictional hometown of South Park, Colorado. Kyle is distinctive as one of the few Jewish children on the show, and because of this, he often feels like an outsider amongst the core group of characters. His portrayal in this role is often dealt with satirically, and has elicited both praise and criticism from Jewish viewers.

A Fairlie is a type of articulated steam locomotive that has the driving wheels on bogies. The locomotive may be double-ended (a double Fairlie) or single ended (a single Fairlie). Fairlies are most associated with the Ffestiniog Railway in Wales.
While the Fairlie locomotives are used only on heritage railway, the vast majority of diesel and electric locomotives in the world today follow a form not very different from the Fairlie — two power trucks with all axles driven, and many also follow the Fairlie's double-ended concept, being capable of driving equally well in both directions.
Development of the design
Conventional locomotive
The Fairlie was invented and patented by the Scottish engineer Robert Francis Fairlie in 1864. He had become convinced that the conventional pattern of locomotive was seriously deficient; they wasted weight on unpowered wheels (the maximum tractive effort a locomotive can exert is a function of the weight on its driving wheels) and on a tender that did nothing but carry fuel and water without contributing to the locomotive's adhesive weight. Furthermore, the standard locomotive had a front and back, and was not intended for prolonged driving in reverse, thus requiring a turntable or wye at every terminus.

The Dred Scott Case
Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law
Edited by David Thomas Konig, Paul Finkelman, and Christopher Alan Bracey
"(T)hese essays have collectively expanded the context of the case and greatly enriched our understanding of its impact, then and now.… (an) enormously thought-provoking volume."
Civil War Book Review
"(The Dred Scott Case) conveniently brings together a striking array of important perspectives, both on the nineteenth-century story of Dred Scott itself and on its continuing significance. Scholars and undergraduates alike will find this volume rewarding."
The Journal of Southern History
In 1846 two slaves, Dred and Harriet Scott, filed petitions for their freedom in the Old Courthouse in St. Louis, Missouri. As the first true civil rights case decided by the U.S. Supreme Court, Dred Scott v. Sandford raised issues that have not been fully resolved despite three amendments to the Constitution and more than a century and a half of litigation.
The Dred Scott Case: Historical and Contemporary Perspectives on Race and Law presents original research and the reflections of the nation's leading scholars who gathered in St. Louis to mark the 150th anniversary of what was arguably the most infamous decision of the U.S. Supreme Court. The decision, which held that African Americans "had no rights" under the Constitution and that Congress had no authority to alter that, galvanized Americans and thrust the issue of race and law to the center of American politics. This collection of essays revisits the history of the case and its aftermath in American life and law. In a final section, the present-day justices of the Missouri Supreme Court offer their reflections on the process of judging and provide perspective on the misdeeds of their nineteenth-century predecessors who denied the Scotts their freedom.

"Liberty under Law" and Selected Supreme Court Opinions
Edited by Francis Graham Lee
William Howard Taft's presidency (1909-1913), succeeding Theodore Roosevelt's, was mired in bitter partisan fighting, and Taft sometimes blundered politically. However, this son of Cincinnati assumed his true calling when President Warren G. Harding appointed him to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1921. Taft remains the only person to have served both as president of the United States and as chief justice of the Supreme Court.The

The first, Popular Government, was prepared for a series of lectures, but was motivated by Taft's passion over the issue of constitutional interpretation, which had been hotly contested during the campaign.

The Jury in Lincoln's America
By Stacy Pratt McDermott
In the antebellum Midwest, Americans looked to the law, and specifically to the jury, to navigate the uncertain terrain of a rapidly changing society. During this formative era of American law, the jury served as the most visible connector between law and society. Through an analysis of the composition of grand and trial juries and an examination of their courtroom experiences, Stacy Pratt McDermott demonstrates how central the law was for people who lived in Abraham Lincoln's America.McDermott

Well, not to mention I don't want to have a repetion that will bring into boredom, for a living room I need something that is bolder and lime green is absolutely does. So, I paint my wall with that beautiful lime green color. In a corner near windows, I put a combination with white color. I also put lime green chevron rug under my living room seating set. For the seating set itself, I use the one with black color to bold both color. Then, for my curtain, I put lime green in combination with teal, emerald, and tosca. And, Voila! This is it! Lime green living room ideas a la me myself. That's looking fit!

I have opened my baking business!! This project has been many years in the making but now it's really here, I'm so excited I can hardly believe it myself!
I specialize in sourdough breads and wild yeast breads, and also make many sorts of cakes, cookies, and pastry. As with my blog, all my products are all natural, free of gums, and feature a focus on local and heirloom ingredients and traditional baking techniques.
If you live in the Durham area you can order from my website, or (hopefully - I've just applied!) find me at the Durham Farmers' Market on Wednesdays starting this spring. (Unfortunately I am only allowed to ship within NC at this point.) My website is still under construction at the tim of writing but soon it will have a more complete menu of photos to order from. Meanwhile simply email me to order breads etc. Keep an eye out for Millefiori on social media later this month, too. And don't worry, the blog isn't going anywhere! I actually should have more time to post recipes now that my Big Not-so-Secret Project is finally rolling!
Hey everyone in the Triangle area - the annual Raleigh GFAF Event is coming up on Saturday, August 11! Like last year, the event will be at the NC State Fairgrounds, and it starts at 10 am.
I will be speaking at the event to answer your questions about gluten-free breadmaking and sourdough (with samples)...and I will have a sign up sheet for my new baking classes!
As usual, I have some tickets to give away, so if you'd like to join us at the event leave a comment below!
The case against "aquafaba" (Or, in defense of bean broth).
I realize the title of this post may ruffle some feathers, so let's get one thing straight: I have nothing against this ingredient - on the contrary, I've been using it regularly for a few years now. (If you're still wondering what this so-called "aquafaba" is, don't worry, I'm about to fill you in.) And if you know and love this stuff, hear me out - I love it too, but there are a few issues I just can't overlook...about its name. It's been quietly bothering me since I first encountered it, and now that some commercial products are starting to use the ingredient, I just have to speak up.
First off, just to make sure we're all on the same page here: I'm talking about a certain egg substitution trick that's been making waves in the last three or so years. It works fantastically in many situations, in fact, often much better and more versatile than other popular subs like flax gel, fruit puree, tofu, or packaged egg replacer. Most importantly, unlike these other egg subs, it creates a stable foam. And chances are, you already have it in your pantry! If you're already in the loop, you know where this is headed. But if not, get ready...this is going to sound pretty weird. Are you ready? OK, here we go: It's the liquid from boiled or canned beans. Yep, that soupy stuff you usually pour down the drain. I'm serious! The chemical/molecular reasons why it works are very different from what goes on in an actual egg (I'll get to this later), but the end results have a surprising number of similarities. When I first read about this back in 2015 I was immediately excited - what a neat way of exploring the properties of food!
But wait, shouldn't the people who discovered it have the right to name it what they want?, you may be asking. Which brings me to my next point: I'm not on board with the origin story either. As a matter of fact, we already know that bean broth actually has been deliberately used as an ingredient for centuries. In medieval Europe, where animal foods were intermittently restricted by the Catholic calendar, water from boiling legumes was commonly used to enrich soups in place of meat broth on non-meat days. So we know for a fact people noticed its consistency was useful. That's an example that's actually documented - many more everyday uses of humble ingredients likely went unrecorded! This knowledge wasn't lost in the middle ages, by the way: for instance, the 1982 cookbook Bean Cuisine (where it is referred to as bean stock) suggests using it to add body and flavor to casseroles and soups.
The people who are given credit for "discovering aquafaba" might have been the first ones to notice that the liquid from canned beans is just the right concentration that it can be subbed for eggs by weight - and that is indeed a highly significant discovery, don't get me wrong. But considering beans have been boiled in kitchens everywhere for hundreds and hundreds of years, I would honestly be surprised if no one ever considered its potential until 2014. I mean, have you ever watched a pot of beans cooking, when the foam starts to rise and maybe even boils over? That stuff fluffs up like a bubble bath! I can't really fathom that in all the time humans have been cooking legumes, there hasn't been at least one person who's noticed that foam and thought, 'hey, maybe I could use that property,' just as people noticed it could be used to thicken. Additionally, on an academic level, the foam-stabilizing properties of legume arabinogalactans have been noted in research papers (specifically, papers focusing on the microstructure of idli and other fermented foods) going back to the 1970s - so we also know the foaming properties were indeed previously recognized as useful in baking applications long before this decade.
So, there's my rant. Check back soon for part 2, where I'll show you the science of how and why to use this ingredient for gluten-free baking!
Bean broth whipped for icing.
As you may have heard, we're now a week in to Celiac Awareness Month! By this point, you've probably seen a lot of posts using this awareness to urge people to get tested and get their family tested, as the disease has a strong genetic link and is present in almost 1% of the population (in case you didn't know that - I do still run into plenty of people who believe it's "super rare" based on outdated info)!
But what if you've already done those things? Or what if persuading family members to get tested is easier said than done? What if all the awareness-raising suggestions you see just feel too big for you right now?
1. Make your community more accessible for celiacs by educating others about how to reduce cross-contamination. This can be as simple as suggesting to your local food co-op about organizing bulk bins so the rice and beans are very far away from gluten items (I've done this, and it worked!!) or politely asking detailed questions about preparation when you go to local restaurants.
2. Lead by example: I don't know if you've had this experience, but I've encountered many people over the years who acknowledge they may have some degree of sensitivity, yet avoid getting tested because they think they'd have to give up everything good. Yikes! Few things are more frustrating than someone saying "I'd rather be sick than give up bread' - especially when you know that being celiac doesn't mean giving up bread at all (as you can tell from a look through my site)! So, maybe this month share some good GF food with someone who could be helped by seeing that living GF doesn't have to be difficult or mean missing out.
3. Build community by meeting and supporting fellow celiacs. For most people, the single most difficult part of a restricted diet is feeling left out and standing out when you don't want to - making friends with other food-sensitive people is a great way to help prevent that for you and someone else! Find some people who you can go out to restaurants with, swap recipe tips with, or even have potlucks with and all feel normal together.
A great opportunity to do that third one is coming up in less than a month for those of us in NC: the Triad Gluten & Allergen Free Wellness Event will be held on Saturday, the 2nd of June, at the Winston-Salem Fairgrounds. (Yes I know that's no longer May, but it's pretty close...) I will be there giving a talk on GF breadmaking. Hope to meet some of you there! I also have 4 tickets to give away - please leave a comment with your name if you would like a ticket or 2!
P.S. I have a really really exciting announcement coming up in the next few weeks, so stay tuned!
As of a few days after Christmas, it's now ten years that I've been gluten-free. That's well over a third of my life! I had fully intended to mark the occasion with not one, but two new recipes that were not only seasonable and festive, but also of the traditionally-French persuasion that has been an inspiration for my baking since the beginning. But (as life has tended to do these last weeks-months-years), life got in the way of being able to fine-tune these recipes in a timely manner (really, there are only so many failed bûches de noël one can stand to make before deciding that whatever comes out of the oven this time will be the holiday dessert, no matter how it looks!) - and so, by the time Christmas came and went (so quickly!) both of these recipes were still in something of a rough-draft stage: pretty enough to photograph, plenty good enough to eat, but not quite polished enough to post.
Funnily, that says a lot about how far we - the gluten-free community - have come in these ten years: back then, anything reasonably edible and presentable was cause for celebration and sharing the recipe would be a matter of course. Now, we have the luxury (perhaps even a little bit of a duty?) of being perfectionistic, because we've collectively proven that things made of buckwheat and beans and chestnut and millet and potato and rice and sorghum can and should be every bit as good and as real as those made from wheat and rye. And so I give you pictures for now, because while these things were good, I know they can be better. It didn't happen in time for Christmas, but it will happen. The bar for victory is higher, and that's a good thing.
So, this New Year's Day, I propose a resolution for the celiac/GF community: going forward, let's remove phrases like "too good to be gluten-free" from our vocabulary. Clearly, if we're saying that about something, it's good and it is gluten-free. There was a time when that may have been surprising. Now, though, we have more than enough examples of beautiful and delicious breads, cookies, pastry, and cakes to show that this phrase has lost its relevance. Is it harder, does it take longer to fine-tune a recipe? Maybe. Is there still a lot of bad GF food out there? Yes, of course. Will baking disasters and terrible recipe attempts still happen? Oh yeah. But it's easy for us to forget, with the larger learning curve we face with our flours, that those disasters and disappointments happen to wheat-bakers, too. And yet, still we all seem to keep being surprised when something is good even now that "too good" seems to have become more of the norm than the exception. So, GF bakers and GF eaters: this year, let's resolve to stop perpetuating the stereotype. Here's to a year of baking and eating and sharing things that are exactly good enough to be gluten-free, and getting even better all the time.

SWK Cybersecurity News Recap March 2022
By Hector BonillaMarch 18, 2022March 22nd, 2022No Comments
This article was last updated March 22, 2022 for new information
Much of SWK's Cybersecurity News Recap for March 2022 will focus on the developments coming out of the recent Russian invasion of Ukraine, as the world watches in expectation of a conclusive action from either side, including on the cyber front. The shadow of the conflict is also influencing several other top stories of the month, such as the monumental cyber breach reporting regulations that have passed through the US Congress with bipartisan approval. SWK Technologies will continue to keep you updated on the most pressing cyber concerns coming out of these current events – here is what we know so far:
The 2022 Russia-Ukraine War
After a significant troop build-up towards the end of 2021, the Russia Federation initiated a ground invasion of Ukraine in early 2022, kicking off a conflict that many experts had predicted would inevitably include cyber warfare. Despite a preceding offensive of various cyber attack methods against government and financial sector IT systems, the digital onslaught seemingly fell off as the physical war commenced – though the evolution of the situation reflects how complex it is to measure such impacts at first.
Below is a comprehensive breakdown of how the cybersecurity front has played out during the conflict:
January – March 2022 Cyber Attacks
Starting in mid-January, Ukrainian computers were the target of several waves of cyber attacks that continued on and off up to shortly after the invasion commenced. The first of these were a two-pronged assault that consisted of mainly information warfare coupled with seemed like an actual ransomware campaign. However, the latter was revealed to be hiding a more discrete data destruction offensive employing malware that would not allow files to be recovered.
Wiper Malware
The discovery of the wiper malware set off an alarm among observers, with at least three separate attempts recorded by security researchers as of March 14, though some investigators have hinted at signs of others still being looked into. This particular type of program can behave somewhat like a ransomware infection, but once files are corrupted instead of exfiltrating them it begins to replace them empty data, effectively destroying the information contained.
US & Ukraine Cyber Attacks Uncovered
Even while the offensive cyber war seemed to be slowing down, researchers uncovered evidence of several other cyber attacks targeting Ukraine, the US and other allied countries such as Poland. Organizations such as Google picked up on network activity from hacker groups they routinely monitor, many of which are known to have coordinated directly with Russian security services. The movements signaled that Russia is likely using its allied threat actors to keep an eye on the Ukrainian military and any nations providing assistance, as well as to keep them off-balance to delay deployment of resources.
Satellite Warfare
Satellite networks have become both tools and casualties of the cyber war being conducted within Ukraine, with at least one major hack coupled with political jockeying over third-party communications and imaging creating an atmosphere of uncertainty. The same day Russia invaded, a major European provider had its modems hacked, disrupting telecommunications all over Ukraine and prompting an investigation by US and French intelligence agencies. Hacktivist collective Anonymous soon followed up with their own disruption of the Russian space agency's satellite network, while celebrity CEO Elon Musk donated antennas for his SpaceX company's Starlink satellites.
IT Army of Ukraine
After suffering a succession of devastating cyber attacks since 2013, Ukraine's cyber defense strategy has transformed into a very proactive campaign of response counterattack, bolstered by people and resources from around the world. What has been labeled the "IT Army of Ukraine" by one of the country's top technology officials has been persistently working against both suspected cyber attack activity and Russian information warfare being conducted abroad and domestically.
International Mix of Hackers
The nature of the conflict has highlighted the blurred lines of national loyalties in such clandestine warfare, especially as most of the world either condemns Russia or prefers to remain neutral, including some of the Kremlin's past allies. While Ukraine has received help from volunteers from many nations, cybercriminals that have proclaimed solidarity with the Russian invasion have paid for it with internal dissent. However, there remains a fear that some parties may aid Russia in cyberspace much more quietly, or even take advantage of the situation to get away with espionage or cyber attacks unnoticed.
Cyber War vs Hacktivism
The part of the cyber war that has been easiest to quantify is the hacktivism campaign being undertaken by both sides, but has seen significant strides from those opposed to the invasion. Along with the aforementioned Anonymous initiative and the IT Army of Ukraine, many volunteers from both outside and even within Russia have attempted to challenge the information war being waged by Russian security services and state media. These actions include defacing several Russian government websites with messaging that challenge's the regime's version of events as well as directly with Russian citizens through social media, along with several other methods used to disseminate information within Russia that would not otherwise be accessible.
Hacker Uncovered in Ukraine
Ukrainian security service agents detained a culprit they accused of hacking on behalf on the invasion forces, by hijacking Ukraine's mobile phone traffic and relaying messages to and on behalf of the Russian military. These activities reflect another unique factor within the war – both Russia's troops and Ukrainian guerrillas are using smartphones to communicate, with the former suffering from what some observers claim as inadequate radio equipment and corruption. This is also thought to be a major reason why Russian-allied hackers have not taken down Ukraine's infrastructure as they have in the past – they need telecommunications up and running for themselves.
Phishing Scams Taking Advantage
While some ransomware gangs proclaim neutrality and noninvolvement in the ongoing conflict, several cybercriminals have attempted to take advantage of the crisis with phishing campaigns masquerading as charities. Most of these seem to be trying to leverage the goodwill of potential victims outside of the warzone, asking for donations to help Ukrainians in need. However, in a noteworthy twist, some volunteers are using the same tactics to spam Russians with information about the war blocked by the regime.
Companies Caught in the Crossfire of Cyber War
As many global enterprises leave Russia in droves, those technology firms founded or still based in Russia have been caught in the crossfire as many businesses and governments look on their solutions and integrations with new scrutiny. One such example is the antivirus provider, Kaspersky, which has been accused by Germany's cybersecurity agency of being a potential vector for spying by Russia.
Russian Hackers May Have Gone Quiet
There are many theories as to why the cyber warfare segment of the invasion has not blown up, with the biggest being errors on Russia's end, the resources and manpower poured into Ukraine's cyber defense, and Russia having to go on the defensive themselves. However, there remains evidence that Russian-allied hackers are still in fact trying to breach systems across Ukraine and NATO members – including the US – and the cyber espionage side of their methodologies has proven much more discreet.
President Biden Makes Statement Warning of Cyber Attacks
On March 21, 2022, the administration of US President Joseph Biden released a statement warning the country of activity observed that could preclude cyber attacks against American private sector targets from Russian nation-state hackers in retaliation for economic sanctions. The announcement also included a request for businesses to implement network security best practices ASAP, encouraging "everyone to do their part" to combat hacking attempts affecting the nation.

Five Celebrities Who Overcame Chronic Vision Conditions With the Help of Treatment and Therapy
Celeb Therapy November 24, 2019
The journey must go on no matter what obstacle may come in the way. Few other people live up to this line better than these five stars who have dealt with chronic eye diseases or are dealing with blindness even now. However, they do not let the challenges that come from the loss of sight to get in their path to success. Being diagnosed with a chronic eye disease that may eventually lead to complete blindness is a terrible experience. However, do not lose heart just yet and gather courage from these inspiring stories of five stars who overcame debilitating eye conditions even while performing their respective jobs.
Mila Kunis, an A-lister with arguably the most mesmerizing eyes in the film industry, is actually blind in one eye for several years now. In an interview with the Cosmopolitan magazine in January 2011, she revealed her struggle with blurred vision, headaches, and temporary blindness due to chronic iritis. Chronic iritis is an inflammation of the iris which can lead to significant pain and temporary loss of sight.
The Black Swan star successfully underwent surgery a few months before the interview and stated that she was not blind anymore. She also has a rare eye condition known as heterochromia iridium which results in different colored irises. Her left eye is brown, while the right eye is green. Mila's eye struggles did not deter her as she went on to star in successful movies such as Black Swan (2010), Friends with Benefits (2011), and Ted (2012), to name a few.
Academy Award-winning actress Dame Judi Dench, who portrayed the character of M in several James Bond films, stole everyone's hearts with her acting. It was during an interview in 2012 when she revealed to the world about her age-related macular degeneration which left her unable to read film scripts on her own. She said she needed someone to read out her scripts to her on the sets of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.
Macular degeneration results in blurred vision or even loss of vision if not diagnosed early or if left untreated. The condition left her with one eye "dry" and the other "wet" and unable to see properly. Luckily, Dame Judi treated her condition with injections to the eye and therapy. After the surgery, she went back to doing what she does best as she received her seventh Oscar nomination for Philomena the following year.
American singer Melissa Arnette Elliott, better known as Missy Elliott, told People magazine in June 2011 about her Graves' disease. She almost crashed a car due to sudden leg spasms while driving which forced the singer to take a hiatus from her soaring career. Missy has to take a break from songwriting as she "couldn't even hold a pen to write". She developed eye problems like a noticeable bulge and took a break to treat her condition.
Graves' disease is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland and is the leading cause of hyperthyroidism. Symptoms of the disease include muscle spasms, weight loss, bulging eyes, and diarrhea. Missy Elliott underwent therapy with radioactive iodine and took anti-thyroid medication to cure the disease. Her conditions have stabilized since then and she is back delivering Billboard hits.
Who better to inspire you than Stevland Hardaway Morris? Stevland, more famous by his stage name Stevie Wonder, is a wonder indeed. The ace musician turned blind shortly after his birth but managed to rise to fame as a singer who could stir the depths of your soul with his voice.
The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award winner turned blind due to a condition called retinopathy of prematurity that affects premature babies. The disease affects the retina and leads to severe eye problems and even blindness. In spite of the severe predicament, Stevie managed to play the piano and churn out hits after hits for more than five decades. He is still going strong at 69.
Comedian turned actress Roseanne Barr talked about her two eye diseases in an interview with The Daily Beast in 2015. She revealed that she was diagnosed with both macular degeneration and glaucoma. Both these diseases can lead to loss of sight over time and Roseanne said that she was gradually losing her vision.
Glaucoma results in eventual blindness and ocular pressure causes pain in the eyes. Roseanne was under medication initially but later realized that she was misdiagnosed. The right treatment was to surgically remove a mole from behind her eye.
Even celebrities stand no exception to severe health problems but with an accurate diagnosis, timely treatment, and proper therapy, anyone can defeat such chronic diseases and carry on with life because the show always goes on.
