Due to COVID-19, study abroad programs for the 2019-2020 academic year have been put to a halt.
UW-Eau Claire is regularly ranked as a leader for studying abroad in the United States and Wisconsin for a masters-level institution Colleen Marchwick, the director of the Center for International Education (CIE), said.
The last academic year not impacted by COVID-19 was 2018-2019. During the year, a total of 517 students went abroad, Marchwick said.
Marchwick said she studied abroad in France during her college career. She spent an entire academic year there.
"My favorite part was it forced me to get out of my comfort zone and not rely on other people," Marchwick said
Study abroad allows students to travel to a different country and experience life like no other. It gives students new opportunities and perspective. It opens students up to experience a new culture(s) Marchwick said. Along with new experiences, it also allows students to step out of their comfort zone.
"It's a cheap way to see a country for four months to a year," Sarah Garibaldi, a third-year elementary education student, said.
Garibaldi went abroad to Lismore, Australia for the spring 2020 term but was sent home weeks after arriving because of COVID-19. Garibaldi said some of her favorite experiences abroad were going to bars and the atmosphere in general.
The best thing was everyone down there loves Americans, she said.
Studying abroad isn't limited to a certain student level or major, Marchwick said. The most common student levels for study abroad are second, third and fourth-year students.
"I had to study abroad as a requirement for my major, but I would have gone anyway," Kelly McNamer, a third-year Spanish and speech therapy student, said. "I wanted to see the world and experience life without my closest friends and family."
McNamer studied abroad during the spring 2020 term in Valladolid, Spain, she said.
UW-Eau Claire offers various study abroad programs for students. The top six destinations are the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Costa Rica, Australia and India.
"I had been to Spain before and loved it, which made returning very appealing," Tate Williams, a third-year political science and Spanish student, said.
Williams went abroad the spring 2020 term to Valladolid, Spain. He was also sent home in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. Williams said he recommended future participants pack light and save up to buy clothes to fit the weather of their chosen study abroad location.
UW-Eau Claire's study abroad programs are quite popular during the spring and summer terms, Marchwick said.
Marchwick said the most common worry students have when thinking about going abroad is if the program will fit into their schedule or if their major will allow them to.
"The biggest thing students should do is talk to someone, whether it be their academic advisor or someone in the CIE," Marchwick said.
Nolan Buss, a third-year marketing analytics and Spanish student, went abroad in spring 2020 to Valparaiso, Chile.
"My advice to a student who will be studying abroad is to use your time wisely," Buss said. "Students like us often get caught up in the credit amount they are taking, but if you take too much you will not be able to do well academically and travel at the same time. Remember why you are there."

The Background: St. Vincent (aka Annie Clark) is a one-woman band mixing pop balladry, showtune-ish exuberance, squalling electric guitar, and subtle hints of jazz in her particular and complex compositions. If her music sounds dramatic and forceful, in person Clark is neither. This avant-garde performer compared to David Bowie promises that her shows are a "bizarre fever dream"!
The buzz: She has opened shows for such acts as Arcade Fire and Death Cab for Cutie. She also worked with Bon Iver!

Last week, former Nevada congresswoman Lucy Flores, went public with an accusation that former Vice President Joe Biden kissed her without permission and in a manner that she believes was inappropriate.
Of course, Biden denies the accusation and claims that he doesn't remember the incident, which causes me to question his ability to server as president.
If the incident did happen and Biden doesn't remember it, it means that he has a flawed memory or has done the same thing so many times that he can't recall that particular incident.
Either way, these are not the qualities one wants as a president, if he decides to run for the White House in 2020.
Washington Examiner – Joe Biden says he 'never' thought he acted inappropriately after being accused of kissing woman without consent – Former Vice President Joe Biden released a statement on Sunday responding to the allegations that he kissed a Nevada politician without her consent, saying he doesn't recall the moment and never thought he acted inappropriately toward women.
Note that this accusation is from a fellow Democrat and not someone from an opposing political party.
I've previously written that Biden does not have presidential qualities due to his inability to make decisions or to get over personal tragedy and move on.
Months after his son died, Biden was still unable to get over it and decide if he would run for the president in 2016.
A president has to be able to put those personal tragedies behind him and make important decisions in a timely manner.

How Was 2021 For ULTRASOUND… Voice And Face ANDREW TINY WOOD Draws Us A Picture
Posted on December 7 by TUTV!
British post-prog-punk romantics ULTRASOUND fronted by charismatic maverick
Andrew Tiny Wood showed up in 1997, thrilled and impressed many and made a tour
de force album with EVERY PICTURE (now reissued with a deluxe edition, see below)
in 1999. But just as I discovered and fell in love with the ultra-passionate London
combo they were already gone as they split shortly after the LP release.
In 2010, after the break-up wounds were healed, Ultrasound returned triumphantly
and produced two more notable longplayers (so far), Play For Today (2012) and
Real Brittania (2016). In this end-of-the-year interview, Andrew Tiny Wood
reveals that they are here to stay and have busy 2022 plans.
As usual, to get us all in the right mood, we start a Q & A with music. If you never heard of the band this live version of my favorite Ultrasound track Stay Young will open your ears and eyes. Epic, just epic…
You started your musical journey with a band called POSSESSION that produced
one album. How did this first adventure started and ended, Andrew ?
"I didn't actually start my musical journey there. In terms of being in bands, we started
a short lived band at school which was mostly rock and Zepp inspired before I joined
forces with a post-punk band called Step TLV, which gradually became more inspired
by industrial music like Throbbing Gristle and we morphed into Possession.
I guess it ended when one of the members moved to London
and joined Coil, and I went to college."
You used the pseudonym of ANNA VIRGINIA WAR.
A fictional name, I suppose? Why that choice?
"I always identified quite strongly as
a woman and wanted to make a statement."
Just before the birth of Ultrasound came POP-A-CAT-A-PETAL.
One of the weirdest band names I ever heard. Is there a story
behind it?
"It is derived from a volcano in Mexico called Popocatepetl,
which was regarded in legend as a famous warrior."
What track would you play to introduce ULTRASOUND
to music fans who never heard of the band?
"Depends who they were and what kind of music they like. We like to think
that all styles are served here, and there is something for everyone.
For party animals I'd point in the direction of "Same Band", goths to "Best Wishes",
punks to "Fame Thing", "Over There" or "Football Meat", prog heads to "Blue Remembered
Hills", New Romantics to "I'll Show You Mine", and indies to "Floodlit World".
After several singles, debut album EVERYTHING PICTURE came out in 1999.
Did you write all the songs or was it a team effort?
"Most of the music was written by Richard with lyric contributions coming from me. Obviously, the songs then came together via the band's contributions so a certain
amount of team effort came into play there."
Who developed the album's artwork and what is it supposed to reflect?
"The cover is an 'everything picture' painted by the band, the idea being to create a piece of artwork using everything at your disposal. There is collage and paint, some destructive art and even some 3D elements (Richard stuck some valves into the canvas somewhere)."
What did you want to express with the LPs title EVERYTHING PICTURE?
"The title comes from a song on the album written by Richard, which advises
that even when the odds are all against you and you have failed at every turn,
pick yourself up and paint your everything picture – 'the only strategy is action'."
You said that the album was made with future generations in mind?
In what way and for what kind of people, Andrew?
"I was so used to discovering things from the past, and still do, and was very conscious
that people don't always get into something until much later, an example being Nick Drake
or John Kennedy Toole, so potentially we were speaking not to the present audience, but to someone who was discovering this music at some point in the future."
Did the band select all bonus tracks on the Deluxe Reissue edition?
And where do they all come from?
"Everything was chosen by me from our own archives."
The group already split up in 1999? What happened?
"I don't know. What does Wikipedia say?! I'd put it down to a breakdown of communication, and total childish idiocy. If only RuPaul could have been there
to tell us not to fuck it up!"
The reunion in 2010 started with a benefit concert.
What motivated you to restart?
"Tim Smith out of them Cardiacs, who got himself into a bit of trouble, needed
help to which we responded, which started that whole ball rolling again.
Suppose you were asked to rewrite and put new music to the British Royal Anthem 'God Save The Queen'. No restrictions whatsoever. What would be the outcome, in sound and vision?
"Well it would no doubt be anthemic and epic and be far too long and too slow(!)
and it would also no doubt contain hopeful messages for a revolution in which
the entire royal family are dragged through the streets in a wicker handcart
and pelted with rotten tomatoes in a gleeful attempt to return Britain to the
good old days."
How's life for a professional musician in Brexit England?
"Well I keep hearing nightmare stories from other musicians saying don't even bother trying to tour in Europe, and many people are having to stop accepting Bandcamp orders because the postage is ridiculous, and we are covering a lot of those kinds of expenses, which most of us can barely afford.
It's not just Brexit England either, it's Tory England, where venues are being shut down
by tory councils due to noise complaints from landlords, and there is no funding so it's becoming more and more difficult for people in this country to do what it does best. However, despite the hardships, we will always find a way. We have faced these things before and we will continue to fight."
A lot of artists started covering other artists when the COVID-19 whirlwind
turned our lives upside down. Which song would you pick to cover?
"I did do a couple of numbers at the start of lockdown on my piano at home ("It's Alright"
by Black Sabbath and the Flaming Lips "Waiting For A Superman", which I felt was rather appropriate for the times) and we did perform a couple at Richard's wedding too (Procul Harum's "Whiter Shade Of Pale" and The Hollies' "Air That I Breathe").
I'd also love to do "Bump 'n' Grind" by Jackson Heights and
Michael Jackson's "Earth Song"…I think we'd do that one justice."
The best track and album you heard in 2021?
"Album is probably "The Mother Stone" by Caleb Landry Jones. I bought it on the strength of the cover alone which I found intriguing, and it didn't disappoint. A sprawling, strange, psychedelic double album, which is both playful and dense. A disturbing and difficult to fathom a world that warrants many visits to discover its complexities. His follow up "Gadzooks Vol. 1" is also great.
Track is probably "It Is The Face Wish How" by Scaramanga Six from their forthcoming album "Worthless Music", which in my opinion is their best album. This song is both huge in scope and bewilderingly strange. Scott Walker meets This Heat."
Are you a fan of traditional Xmas carols, Andrew?
If so, which one is your favorite?
"I always liked "In The Bleak Midwinter", which is downbeat and almost depressing.
The old classics have the best tunes but it's a shame about all the god stuff in the lyrics,
which ruin them a bit. "O Come All Ye Faithfull" has some cracking harmonies."
Which song will be on your stereo on 31st December at midnight?
"I guess if I was at home on my own I would want to get stoned and get involved with something long and strange, which leads me towards "A Plague Of Lighthouse Keepers" by Van Der Graaf Generator, but if I was feeling a bit more mellow it would probably be "Sea Song" by Robert Wyatt because it's the closest thing to perfection, and inspires me to try to be as good as that."
Three things you really love to happen in 2022 for the band and/or personally?
1. Re-issue "Play For Today" on vinyl to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
2. Tour in support of the 10th anniversary of said album.
3. Write and record a new album.
Thank you very much, Andrew for this interview.
May the road rise with Ultrasound in 2022.

Never Too Late To Find A Lost Classic – Passionate Post Punks ULTRASOUND Reissued Their Debut LP 'EVERYTHING PICTURE'
Posted on November 4 by TUTV!
Band: ULTRASOUND
Who: Emotive British glam-prog rockers
Active: 1997–99, 2010–present / 3 studio albums
Album: EVERYTHING PICTURE
The band's (double) debut album, released in 1999,
now reissued as an extensive deluxe edition through
via One Little Independent Records.
The boxset features the original double album, an extra two records
featuring a variety of B-sides and singles, and a CD of live and session
tracks. As well, a 26-page booklet and a poster will be included.
Louder Than War: "For those of us who lived through the Britpop years, there was so much derivative crap released that no music fan in their right mind would ever want to hear again. This beautifully designed and curated album is the exact opposite, showcasing the vision and imagination of a band who may have only burned brightly for a short time, but did so on their own terms." Full review here.
Andrew Wood (frontman): "Everything Picture was made with future generations in mind.
So it is so appropriate that it should be re-issued, in a more complete form, to be discovered and re-discovered in future times. We were aware that the post-Britpop presence of the early millennium might not "get" it. Many did, and many more grew and developed with it as it grew and developed a life of its own".
Turn Up The Volume: Frontman Andrew Wood's passion, dedication, vulnerability and romantic candidness translated into a captivating vortex of psychedelic post-punk waves overwhelmed me back then and revisiting it now still generates shiverings going down my spine. It's never too late to find a lost classic, people. You'll file it between your Mogwai and your Crippled Black Phoenix LPs.

ULTRASOUND – British Glam-Prog Rockers Release Deluxe Edition Of Fab Debut LP 'EVERYTHING PICTURE'
Posted on July 28 by TUTV!
Who: Passionate British glam-prog rockers.
Deluxe Edition: EVERYTHNG PICTURE
The band's (double) debut album, released in 1999.
Info: The reissue boxset will feature 'Everything Picture'
the double album, an extra two records featuring a variety
of B-sides and singles and a CD of live and session tracks.
As well, a 26-page booklet and a poster will be included.
Out: 24 September 2021 via One Little Independent Records
AllMusic/Dean Carlson: "The musical and emotional collapses are
so moving, so stirring, that it sounds like the pessimistic turn to just
about every soaring, triumphant song ever found on the planet. This
reason alone serves as a singular, important experience. So while you
might feel like that poor local weatherman in a yellow slicker getting
pelted when you listen to this album, by the time the final track fades
out you realize it was worth every last, sonic droplet."
Full interview here. Score: 4.5/5.
The announcement comes alongside a never-before-seen
video for one of the LP's highlights 'Aire & Calder'…
I loved (still do) that brilliant single Stay Young…
And that show in Amsterdam, in the legendary Paradiso club back in 1998 or 1999
(I can't remember the year exactly) was pretty special… and I found some pics I took
in my archives…

We've all gone through some sort of breakup. Whether it's a romantic relationship or a job, it's not always easy to say goodbye. But what if you're trying to dump a company that won't leave you alone?
Have you ever tried to cancel cable or get your number off a solicitor's phone list? This can be a frustrating experience for a customer. But it doesn't have to be when it comes to email marketing.
The best brands understand that customers come and go and while it might seem counterintuitive, making it easy for people to say goodbye is good for your business. These companies make it easy for customers to unsubscribe from emails or be removed from contact lists.
And you can easily do the same thing.
Not convinced that letting people go is good for business? Keep reading and we'll convince you.
On the surface, you might think unsubscribes are negative. After all, this obviously means they don't find any value in your email messages, right?
Customers unsubscribe from emails for a variety of reasons. You could be sending too many messages or have an unknown issue with formatting. On the other hand, some of your readers may have inadvertently signed up to receive your emails and are no longer interested.
Regardless of the reason, it's actually better for your email marketing if these people aren't on your email subscriber list.
The majority of people who unsubscribe from your list are likely unengaged contacts anyway. This means they're probably dragging down your email performance because they aren't opening or clicking on your messages. If these people voluntarily opt out from receiving your emails, it should give your key email metrics a boost.
That doesn't mean you want a mass exodus of customers from your contact lists. If your email unsubscribe rate is hovering around 2% for an average email, then you're in good shape. However, don't be alarmed if that rate is higher for new contacts or lists. New subscribers may change their minds after subscribing.
Taking care of customers is important, even when they unsubscribe from your email list. They may opt out of your email list, but that doesn't mean they don't want to be your customer. If you treat them poorly during the unsubscribe process, you might lose them forever.
Here are seven unsubscribe best practices you should follow to make the process seamless for your customers, all while building your sending reputation.
Your emails should already include an option to allow customers to unsubscribe. Not only is it a basic part of unsubscribe best practices, but it's required by law under the CAN-SPAM Act.
Most brands will include their unsubscribe information in the footer of the email. But if you want to make the process clear and easy for your customers, you should also include a link in the email header. Gmail will automatically put an unsubscribe option in the header of your emails, so you might as well add it into your email header anyway.
This will prove your brand's authenticity, showing customers you care.
This email from TeeChip includes a small and simple unsubscribe option in the email header. And bonus points go to this company for their footer. This section includes information on why and how the customer ended up on the email list.
There's a chance your contacts don't want to cut off communication with you completely. Some customers want emails infrequently, or they only want emails about certain topics.
In addition to an unsubscribe option, you should include a link to an email preference page directly inside your messages. Here, your customers can select the frequency at which they'll receive emails, as well as topics they want to read about. For instance, your customer might not want to receive marketing messages, but maybe they're still interested in company news.
In this instance, your subscriber could outline that preference using an email preference page.
This page can also provide an opportunity to unsubscribe. Your email preferences and unsubscribe links should remain live. Don't build pages that will expire a few days after the email is sent.
Unsubscribes can contribute to quality list health, but don't be afraid to ask subscribers why they chose to stop receiving emails. Just keep your question short and sweet. A single multiple choice question is a perfect example.
If you're going to use this tactic, follow unsubscribe email best practices, making the survey question optional. Collecting this data is valuable because you can improve your marketing efforts based on the trends you see.
An unsubscribe doesn't mean a customer never wants to hear from you again. They just don't want to receive your emails currently.
You should subtly provide other alternatives for them to stay in contact with your brand, like adding links to your social channels on the unsubscribe landing page.
Consider providing social links on your landing page as well as links to your latest blog entry. This is a great way to encourage contacts to stay engaged, even while they opt out of your email marketing.
You already know your customers' email addresses, so there's no reason to request it again during an unsubscribe. Additionally, don't force users to log into your website just to unsubscribe from your list.
Because if you make the process too difficult, your users won't decide to stay on your list. Instead, they become far more likely to mark your campaign as spam, sinking your deliverability and causing problems for other email campaigns.
Make sure you're using a smart form, which will automatically populate the email address. Then, all your customer has to do is click the confirm button.
Double opt-in is a great way to improve your list quality when gaining new subscribers. However, it's more of a hassle for those who are unsubscribing.
When a contact indicates they want to stop receiving emails, don't respond by sending them yet another message asking them to confirm.
Your best unsubscribe best practice here is to include a confirmation page as a part of your process.
Some customers may never unsubscribe. They might be happy just to delete or never open your emails.
Consider sending your inactive contacts a re-engagement email drip campaign. This will encourage them to update their email preferences or unsubscribe, ultimately improving your campaign metrics.
One great way to re-activate your customers is to offer them an incentive.
This email from Jack Wills lets customers know they're missed simply by offering a discount on their next purchase. But the email also offers a large unsubscribe option as a secondary CTA.
You don't even need to use a re-engagement campaign to clean your list. You can unsubscribe inactive users on the backend.
It explains the cold subscriber process in layman's terms, and this email lets people know they're being removed from the email list. Rather than giving the customer a CTA to unsubscribe, the email CTA here is to remain on the list.
This tactic is smart because uninterested subscribers don't have to do anything. But readers who do take action are more likely to be engaged in the future.
It's important to give your customers the option to opt out of emails if they're no longer interested. You can make this process easy for your customers by including clear links in your emails to unsubscribe, as well as simple steps on a landing page to remove their email addresses from your list.

Tiffany Webber Carpenter
Tiffany Webber Carpenter is an attorney dedicated to defending justice and righting wrongs in the Memphis, Tennessee office for Cory Watson.
Tiffany first developed an interest in personal injury law as a young child. She was the plaintiff in a medical malpractice claim against a pharmacy that had filled one of her prescriptions with the incorrect medication, causing serious injuries which resulted in her hospitalization.
That first-hand experience taught Tiffany the importance of standing up for herself and defending her own legal interests, a fight that she regularly applies to her clients.
Tiffany earned her Bachelor of Arts with High Distinction from Duke University, graduating as a Mellon Mays Undergraduate Fellow and the University Editor of the student-run newspaper. She then earned a fellowship to the University of Alabama, where she graduated with a master's degree in English Literature.
"My mom inspired me to become a lawyer," said Tiffany. "She always told me I could be anything I wanted to be, but then while taking a gap year after earning my master's degree, she encouraged me to apply to law school, while reminding me that my 'smart mouth,' reading, and writing skills would be well suited as an attorney."
Tiffany earned her Juris Doctor degree from the University of Alabama School of Law. During law school, she was involved in public interest programs, the Black Law Students Association, and the Civil Law Clinic, where she represented low-income clients with family law and personal injury matters.
As an attorney, Tiffany handles cases involving bodily injury due to collisions involving cars, trucks, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and pedestrians; accidents as a result of dangerous premises conditions; as well as catastrophic injury and death resulting from police brutality and misconduct. If you or a loved one were severely injured or wrongfully died due to a motor vehicle collision, dangerous premises, or police brutality or misconduct, she is ready to advise you of and defend your legal rights.
"Personal injury attorneys are supposed to make unfortunate events less unfortunate and to help uplift those around us as much as feasibly possible," said Tiffany. "It is extremely gratifying when I'm able to do more for people than what they even considered possible."
Tiffany loves animals and enjoys spending time with her family and her rescue dog, Lady. She also enjoys giving back to local and national charities, including those dedicated to supporting natural disaster rescue, leukemia research, the elderly, impoverished, and voter enfranchisement efforts. She also regularly volunteers in the Memphis community and through the Duke University Alumni Association.
Throughout her career, Tiffany Webber Carpenter has also been a dedicated educator, working within the University of Alabama English Department, the University of Alabama Athletic Department, the University of Memphis English Department, Concorde Career College, and private tutoring. Her love of teaching has reinforced her commitment to serving the interests and needs of others.
In her spare time, she enjoys reading American and Renaissance literature, spending time with her family, and cheering on her favorite sports teams - Alabama Football and Duke Basketball.

Leipzig-born painter Uwe Kowski (born 1963) creates colorful abstractions in which gestural lines blur into jumbles of typography (the latter perhaps influenced by his apprenticeship as a sign painter), establishing a vibrant, "all-over" effect. This volume presents new canvases made between 2008 and 2011.

Before the time when music became Art it was very much part of everyday life. No major event could take place without it. That also went for the private life of members of the social elite as well as for that of monarchs and aristocrats. There were many opportunities for the performance of music, such as births, marriages, funerals and namedays or birthdays. In addition there were major state events, such as those to mark peace treaties and coronations. One of the latter is the subject of the present disc.
One would like to know exactly which music was performed on such occasions. However, even when we have some information about the way an event was celebrated, we seldom know which compositions were performed, when they were performed and how. Any 'reconstruction' of the musical part of such events has to be highly speculative. The present programme of music for the coronation of Charles II is no exception.
Charles returned to England from his exile in France in 1660 which marked the end of the Commonwealth and the beginning of the Restoration. On 23 April 1661 Charles was crowned in Westminster Abbey. The only piece which is specifically connected to Charles' coronation is the music Matthew Locke wrote For His Majesty's Sagbuts and Cornetts. The autograph of this suite indicates that it is dedicated to the coronation of Charles, but exactly when it was performed - or even if it was performed during the celebrations - is unknown. The anthem O Lord, grant the King a long life by William Child has the addition "at the Restoration", but that in itself doesn't justify the statement in the booklet that it was sung during the coronation celebrations.
Otherwise these liner-notes reflect the amount of insecurity about what was actually performed, as is expressed in words like "probably" and "could have". Even if one accepts a strong degree of speculation, the choice of some pieces is not very plausible. That goes especially for the two items by Pelham Humfrey. He was just fourteen years of age when the coronation took place, and his music can't have been performed on that occasion. His anthem The King shall rejoice was written for Charles's birthday, probably in 1669. It is also questionable whether pieces from France (the collection of Mersenne) or by an Italian composer such as Girolamo Fantini were featured.
Another item is the scoring. All the instrumental pieces are played with cornetts and sackbuts or by trumpets, sometimes with percussion. Matthew Locke's suite is one of the few works specifically intended for the traditional combination of cornetts and sackbuts. The same goes for three ayres by John Adson. Otherwise we hear specimens of consort music which were intended in the first place for viols, with violins, recorders or a 'mixed consort' as alternatives. Cornetts and sackbuts cannot be excluded: in the first collection of instrumental music printed in England, Anthony Holborne's Pavans, Galliards, Almains etc of 1599, wind instruments were mentioned as an option. However, these were mostly played outdoors, and therefore the performance of instrumental pieces by Bassano, Lawes and Byrd during "A royal musical banquet" as the tracklist indicates, is questionable.
These instruments also participated in the Royal Chapel where they played colla parte with the voices. How often that happened is impossible to say, but it seems plausible that they would have been used during festive occasions such as a coronation. There is pictorial evidence of their participation during the coronation of James II in 1685. On the other hand, their role seems to have diminished after the mid-17th century. Humfrey's anthem is scored for voices, two violins, viola and bc, and I do wonder about the justification for playing them on cornetts instead.
The liner-notes mention the participation of the 24 Violins, an ensemble which had been founded after Charles's return to England, under the name of the 24 Violons du Roy with which he had become acquainted in France. The use of only wind instruments in this recording makes this view on the musical part of the celebrations rather one-sided. Moreover, the vocal ensemble here comprises just ten singers, far fewer in number than the choirs of the Royal Chapel and of Westminster Abbey which were both involved in the coronation events.
One could get the impression that this is a bad recording. That is not the case - far from it. I very much like the performances. The singing is excellent and the playing simply brilliant. Oltremontano is one of the best ensembles of this kind around. The music never disappoints: every single piece is well worth listening to. It is just that a programme like this shows how hard it is to give a fair impression of the musical part of celebrations such as the coronation of an English monarch. The fact that the choice of music has to be partly speculative is no problem. However, the selection of music should at least be plausible, and as I have argued some of this programme is not. That should not discourage anyone from enjoying this disc.

Just like using color to contour your face, you can use a similar technique to change your eye shape. Narrow eyes? Drooping lids? Small eyes? - Use a light / shadow technique to alter the overall appearance.
As you age, your skin loses elasticity, thus making the inevitable"droop" happen. If you are one of those reading this and thinking YES, that is me!! What do I do? You need to add more definition. You can do this by sweeping a light bronzer along the crease of your eye. For all you blue eyed ladies out there, using a bronzy/orange color will make the blue in your eyes pop even more. After doing this, apply a light color above the crease from the inner to outer lid to highlight and draw attention up. Then blend a shadow. Make sure to blend these colors well, especially the edges from the shadow to the highlight.
If you have narrow eyes, you might be looking to elongate the width. By applying a black liner to the outer half of the top and bottom lash line and connecting the corners, it will draw the attention of your eye out...making it appear wider.
If you have small eyes, applying a light colored eyeliner to your lower inner rim (above the lashes) will make your eyes look more open. Use a black liner along your entire upper and lower lash lines and connect them at the outer corner. You can also smudge the lines giving the illusion your eyes are bigger than they really are.
One thing I always do with my black pencil liner is apply it to the inner upper rim. I feel like it really sharpens the appearance of my eyes and give it more cohesiveness with my top liner and mascara without seeing all those harsh lines.
Since orange is the opposite color of blue, anything with orange in it will make blue eyes stand out more. I know what you are thinking....ORANGE?! This girl is crazy! No I am not saying go out and find a bright orange shade. But if the shadow has orange undertones such as gold, pinks, and peaches it will work well with your color. Trust me! Also, add in some browns for a great smokey eye.
The opposite color of green is....RED! But please don't wear RED eyeshadow. That would be all kinds of hideous. If you have green eyes try purples.
Brown is a neutral color, so any color will work well.
All you brown eyed ladies are lucky!
Most things look great on brown eyes.
I'm sure it's no surprise, the NAKED 2 Palette.
This palette is a great combination of colors for ALL eye colors.
very interesting to see what colors work best with your eye color! i have green eyes, and green shadow does look pretty sometimes as well!
I have been wanting the Naked 2 pal. for forever! Loved this post :) very informative!
So my GFC has been acting odd, but it let me follow you through my twitter account... how cool is that?! Who knew you could do that?!
Good post - I was wondering what colors you like best with hazel eyes?

"This place always feels like home."
Sandy Johnson (bottom right) feels like she's with family whenever she goes to UNC Rockingham Health Care. Sandy's mother Cindy, who died in 2013, worked at the hospital for 35 years. She was Director of the Cardiopulmonary and Cardiovascular Departments. Once a month, some of her mother's former co-workers — Jane Younts, Annette White and Pam Boothe-Wilson (standing l to r), take Sandy out to dinner.
Because of Sandy's health, her father, Skip Johnson (bottom left) says they count on the hospital and depend on the wonderful care.
"The nurses are just amazing," Sandy says. "They always treat me like I'm their best friend, making me laugh and joking around."
Sandy has a fond memory of what two nurses did for her one fall afternoon. "I was in the hospital just before Halloween," she says. "I told my two nurses, Wanda and Heaven, that I just had to be home for my favorite holiday. And you know what? With their help, I was able leave the hospital just before the trick-or-treaters were out, and that evening I was handing out candy to the kids!"

6,000 constables promoted in Raj
Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje
Jaipur: Months ahead of state assembly elections, the Vasundhara Raje-led Rajasthan government has promoted 6,000 police constables.
"Rajasthan is a peaceful state and its police have made efforts to maintain law and order. Understanding the need of the hour, the state government for the first time has decided to promote 6,000 constables to head constables.", Rajasthan Chief Minister Vasundhara Raje today said
Speaking at an event here Wednesday, Raje said, "Rajasthan is a peaceful state and its police have made efforts to maintain law and order. Understanding the need of the hour, the state government for the first time has decided to promote 6,000 constables to head constables."
She said the crime graph had dipped in the last few years in the state and now there was a need for the police force to the raise the level of trust the public have in them.
The chief minister said the Rajasthan police academy has provided training to 79,000 policemen and the work done by the force on the field was commendable.
She said Rajasthan was part of the BIMARU states in 2013-14 when BJP came to power, but with continuous efforts in the fields of information and technology, skill development, education and health the state is no more a BIMARU state, she claimed.
Rajasthan will soon be a leading state in the country and effective policy making will play a more significant role here, Raje said.

Since the day it was announced in December, the planned merger of Aloha and Hawaiian airlines has been controversial.
The airlines' 6,000 employees have worried about losing jobs and other changes the merger will bring to their work. Hundreds of thousands of customers have worried about possible service cuts and fare increases, since the merged airline will have a virtual monopoly on interisland air travel.
The American Society of Travel Agents has opposed the merger, arguing it likely will lead to higher prices and poorer service. The Citizens for Competitive Air Travel, a group started by Hawaiian Airlines employees, says it has collected more than 10,000 signatures in opposition. Four lawsuits have been filed by disgruntled Hawaiian Airlines shareholders, charging the deal enriches insiders at the expense of the public stockholders. And several Democratic and Republican state senators have come out against the merger, arguing a near-monopoly airline would harm consumers and the state's economy.
In spite of heated opposition from many sides, however, analysts say the fate of the merger rests largely with the antitrust review being conducted by the state attorney general's office and the U.S. Department of Justice. Unless Aloha or Hawaiian decides to back out, the antitrust lawyers have the only real power to stop the deal, analysts say.
Antitrust experts said when the merger was announced that it has a good chance of winning approval at the federal level because of the relatively small size of the deal, which is valued at $150 million to $200 million; the relatively relaxed attitude the administration of President Bush has taken toward antitrust issues; and the fact that the entire airline industry is struggling to stay afloat.
Officials involved in the merger have said they are confident they can win regulatory approval at the state level, in part because the current economic climate has made it difficult for two airlines to survive in the interisland market.
And Greg Brenneman, the turnaround expert leading the merger, said last week the deal is "90 to 95 percent" likely to proceed, in spite of opposition from lawmakers, shareholders and employees.
Among the areas the Justice Department scrutinizes are the amount of competition lost from the market by the merger and the concentration of service that would result, said Patrick Murphy, a former deputy assistant secretary for aviation and international affairs who is now an airline industry consultant in Washington, D.C.
The Justice Department also looks at the prospects for new competition coming into the market and scrutinizes the state's airport facilities to see if they can support a competitor, Murphy said. The anticipated health of each airline without the merger is also studied.
Lawyers in the state attorney general's office conduct a parallel review.
For his part, Murphy said he is doubtful that public opposition to the merger would sway the federal antitrust review.
"That typically is not important to the Justice Department," he said. "They look at precedents and standards used by the courts over the decades on how to review mergers. And the opinions of employees and even customers are not one of their major criteria. ... Their review is based on antitrust law, so they try to adhere strictly to that."
Michael Meaney, a deputy attorney general involved in the state's review of the merger, said public comment does play a role in their work — but that role is limited.
"Ultimately we are looking at those items governed by federal and state antitrust law, and the facts that support those positions," he said. "However, there's going to be other information floating around, and we need to sort through that to see if any of that assists us in getting those facts and law that we're ultimately trying to get to. It's very possible somebody could write a letter that's primarily their opinion, but it has an allegation of fact that we think is worth following up on."
In the end, the Justice Department likely will either approve the merger, say it is unacceptable or impose conditions that would make it acceptable, said Murphy, the Washington consultant. These conditions could include expanding offers the airline has already made to ease consumer concerns, such as a proposal to cap fares for a certain period.
Kirk McBride, a Hawaiian Airlines pilot and a spokesman for Citizens for Competitive Air Travel, said his group expects to take its signed petitions to the attorney general's office and Gov. Ben Cayetano. But, he said, members of the group were aware when they formed last month of their limited power to influence the merger.
"We still decided we had to be opposed, and hopefully be able to influence certain aspects of (the merger), and bring critical issues to light ... " he said. "I think what's important is that the public officials, who are going to have to pass some judgment on this, get a true sense of where the public is on it. ... We recognize that we had to go forward and try to stop the merger, and we also recognize that we may not be able to accomplish that goal."

Soccer-Vertonghen shines as Tottenham beat Dortmund 3-0
LONDON, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Defender Jan Vertonghen scored once and set up another goal for Son Heung-min as Tottenham Hotspur beat Borussia Dortmund 3-0 at Wembley Stadium on Wednesday to give them the clear edge following the first leg of their last 16 Champions League tie.
The Belgian notched his first goal in the Champions League with a well-timed volley in the 83rd minute after he had set up forward Son for a 47th minute lead. Substitute Fernando Llorente grabbed their third in the 86th.
That was Son's ninth goal against Dortmund in 11 matches, with the South Korean, who played in the Bundesliga from 2010-15, having also scored twice in the competition's group stage last season.
The Bundesliga leaders, who were eliminated from the German Cup last week, were nowhere to be seen in the second half, with speedy teenager Jadon Sancho given no space to operate after the break. The return leg is on March 5.
Before Wednesday, Tottenham, playing without injured captain Harry Kane and Dele Alli, had never won a home match in the knockout stage of the competition and Lucas Moura came close with a fine shot in the seventh minute.
Dortmund, who were themselves missing injured captain Marco Reus and top striker Paco Alcacer, gradually took control and had the better chances in the first half with Christian Pulisic firing onto keeper Hugo Lloris and the Frenchman saving a point-blank header from Dan-Axel Zagadou.
But the hosts changed the course of the game two minutes after the restart, pouncing on a defensive error and with Vertonghen whipping in a cross for Son to tap in.
Dortmund, who had conceded just two goals in the group stage, tried to recover but found no way past the disciplined Tottenham backline.
Vertonghen then timed his run to perfection in the 83rd to kill off the game and Llorente gave them a big advantage for the second leg. (Reporting by Karolos Grohmann, editing by Pritha Sarkar)

Lloyd's downgraded over WTC claims
Updated: 19:00 EST, 23 September 2001
CREDIT rating agency Standard & Poor's has downgraded Lloyd's of London, citing concerns about the insurance market's exposure to claims from the US terror attacks.
The rating falls to A from A+, which still characterizes 'strong financial' strength. But S&P said it could cut the rating further, depending on Lloyd's final estimate of its exposure.
Lloyd's was involved in insuring the World Trade Centre and the four hijacked planes used in the attacks. But it has so far declined to estimate likely claims. It has said its exposure was 'manageable', and that it had £18bn available to pay claims. Some reports suggest Lloyd's could face a bill of around £1bn.
S&P said the A+ rating had already been in doubt because of concerns about Lloyd's profitability this year and next. The 2001 results would now be 'very poor', reflecting the terror attack losses, S&P added. The A rating would be placed on 'CreditWatch' with 'negative implications', pending Lloyd's claims estimate.

Colin•Jackson
18 February 1967 in Cardiff, Cardiff, Wales (GBR)
Cardiff Athletic Club/Brecon
With only a silver medal to show from four Olympic Games, Colin Jackson's Olympic record seems bare in comparison to his other achievements in the sport. In a 20-year career he won everything the sport had to offer except an Olympic gold medal and won most titles on multiple occasions. He was twice world champion, in 1993 and 1999, and set a new world record as he won his first title in Stuttgart in 1993. Jackson also won a bronze in his first World Championship in 1987 and silver a decade later. He went through his entire career without tasting defeat at the European Championships and is one of only four athletes to have won four successive titles at the event. Added to his list of hurdles victories are two Commonwealth Games (1990 & 1994), a World Indoor hurdles championships and two European Indoor Championships. He also competed as a pure sprinter and was European Indoor 60 m champion in 1994 as well as being an occasional member of the British 4×100 team. As a relay runner he won a silver medal in the 1993 World Championships and competed regularly at the Europa Cup. Jackson's 1993 world record of 12.91 seconds stood for 13 years until broken by Liu Xiang. He was Europe's Athlete of the Year in 1994 and was three times voted Wales' Sports Personality of the Year. After he retired Jackson turned to coaching, notably with 400 metre runner Tim Benjamin and with the physical conditioning of swimmer Mark Foster and has been a regular member of the BBC athletics commentary team. He also a director of a company that produces television programmes for the IAAF. Colin's sister, Suzanne Packer, is a well-known actress in the UK.

There are certain actor-director combinations in Telugu cinema that have always proved to be successful at the box office and with audiences. When Boyapati Srinu and Balakrishna collaborated for the third time for Akhanda, the expectations were naturally high, but they gave audiences a lot more than what they foresaw from their combo. At the success meet organised to celebrate the glorious run of Akhanda across the globe, Balakrishna dedicated the film's blockbuster response to the contributions of the team.
"Many were sceptical about releasing their film in a non-festive season after two waves of a pandemic and were waiting for one another to take a step forward. A film like Akhanda proved that Sankranthi could begin a month before for audiences when you have a good product in hand. We took a bold step and people came with families in trucks and patronised our efforts. This isn't only a pan-Indian film but a pan-global film. I had come across a forward that says people in Pakistan are also full of praise for Akhanda," Balakrishna spoke of Akhanda's impact in the Telugu film industry.
"When I and Boyapati come together for a film, we only look at what audiences expect from us and never go back to discuss our previous films (Simha and Legend). We never discuss work after the shoot and I don't interfere with his vision. We trust each other so well. From the music to the casting to the production values, every aspect of Akhanda was handled with a lot of care. Srikanth, Jagapathi Babu reinvented themselves for their roles, be it their body language or dialogue delivery. Many audiences were moved to tears with the scenes between me and Viji Chandrasekhar (garu)," he further added.
Thanking the crew, the Akhanda star mentioned,"I want to take this moment to thank technicians who have done a fantastic job. Thaman literally broke several sound systems with his music and a part of that credit goes to the story revolving around Lord Shiva. Any music associated with Lord Shiva is meant to be larger than life and monumental. The contributions of art director, cinematographer, stunt directors and the entire crew from various parts of the country. Boyapati knew how to extract the best out of everyone in the team. The producer Miryala Ravinder Reddy left no stone unturned to make a quality film."
He felt the audiences too were worthy of praise for thronging theatres in huge numbers. "Telugu audiences have yet again proved that they have great taste in accepting new experiments. The success of Akhanda has worked like a tonic to the industry. This gives me, Boyapati and the industry immense courage to explore uncharted terrains for the times ahead. It's important that the Telugu industry is benefited from many such blockbusters of this scale. There are no small or big films, it's the audiences who decide it," he called it a day.
Akhanda is all set to premiere on Disney+ Hotstar on January 21.


Six13 is the most accessible, enjoyable and talented Jewish a cappella group I've ever heard. With pop production values, perfectly performed, EQ-ed and sampled vocal percussion, big fat octave-dropped bass, and the delicious chordal tensions of traditional Jewish music, Six13's release is way better than "tov" (good). Be a mensch (good guy): buy it. No joke, you'll be doing the most rockin' hora of your life in no time.
Now, on the off chance that you don't like Jewish music or the chchcchchchch prevalent in Hebrew and Yiddish, this might not be the disk for you. But keep in mind that this is an artful fusion of Jewish music and pop-rock sensibility: Fiddler meets 'N Sync? So if any disc could convert you, this is gonna be the one.
Six13's leads are masterfully produced, but they have a throaty sound that on occasion could have benefited from a bit more dynamic and timbral nuance. The constant mezzo forte to forte, squeeze-it-out rock sound gets a little tiring after a while, but the consistently rich and creative arrangements always provide a very enjoyable distraction, and sometimes camouflage, if not an actual respite. But you can't say they don't have heart. This is a group that can stand and deliver.
Seven of the ten tracks are original, six of those penned in whole or part by wunderkind Mike Boxer. All the tracks are excellent. The ballads will pull at you. The folksy dance songs will get you dancing. And the entire CD is so well-programmed that you can easily let it run start to finish without the irrepressible urge to fast forward so often evoked by a cappella CDs.
No a cappella collection is complete without the best of each genre. That's reason enough to pick up Six13's eponymous release.
Sometimes reputations can do more harm than good. The self-titled debut album by "the new voice in Jewish music" Six13 falls prey to advanced and heightened expectations that comes with having a rising celebrity in the bunch.
Yes, I'm talking about Mike Boxer.
Boxer is on his way to becoming synonymous with excellent a cappella music. His stint as an arranger and soloist with the Binghampton Crosbys is legendary. So, I was looking forward to listening to the newest a cappella endeavor led by him. I prepared myself to be blown away. Unfortunately, the preparation led me to be underwhelmed by the result.
The album is good, with a couple of strong moments, but is not the masterpiece I was expecting. Boxer's percussion skills have blossomed and his arrangements are generally amazing; Alan Zeitlin and Moshe Cohn and Shlomo Ressler are intriguing soloists and the group's sound is rich and booming. But there is just something slightly cloying about the project which keeps me from embracing it fully.
With the market increase for Christian pop, rock and hip-hop groups, it makes perfect sense that other religious-affiliated groups will create crossover recordings that appeal to a wider and younger audience. This New York-based Jewish sextet capitalizes on this trend with this album.
Most of their songs are traditional lyrics, Friday services or Shabbat morning prayers, set to a mix of contemporary pop, rock and hip-hop music in an innovative blend of reverence and conviction. The settings make the songs accessible to almost everyone, and the songs are universally appealing thanks to the creative arrangements by Boxer. The standout song, though, is an original penned by Zeitlin with music by Boxer and Zeitlin entitled Home . The bridges in Kol Mekadesh and Mimkomcha are also noteworthy for the cool backbeats that makes you want to dance. Ressler's solo on Eishet Chayil is sweetly haunting and nearly perfect. I didn't hear enough of him on this album. Fix that for the future, fellas!
While this isn't a must have for the general a cappellist, those of you who like your pop a cappella with a touch of world culture will want to check this one out.
Six13 seems like a textbook boy band: six cute guys, upbeat catchy melodies, hyper-electronic blending and drumming, high-end studio production, crazy energy, and wailing tenors. Just one little difference: these Backstreet Boys are Jewish and sing in Hebrew. Dig?
Though the very concept of a Jewish album sung in boy band fashion is novel, the biggest boy band fault has not escaped Six13: all of their songs sound the same. Even with their unique tongue and distinctive spiritual agenda, one track blends into the next with few alterations to keep our attention. Given that three different engineers worked on this album, I can't decide if the consistent sound is impressive or disappointing. Since I was largely bored during my listens, I'll have to resign to "disappointing". The general form of a Six13 song goes like this: open with a traditional synagogue appropriate chant, bust out a slick rock beat with heavy VP halfway through, then go back and forth between the two. Sometimes this is quite cool. L'cha Dodi is completely radio friendly (language perhaps withstanding), and even dance club friendly. Other times, this predictable form gets so dramatic and cinematic that I'm convinced Rocky is about to take the ring for the fight of his life. Truth be told, Racheim had me cheering for heroes everywhere.
The album includes one English number, Home , which sounds closer to the contemporary a cappella we're accustomed to, but still keeps the intense spiritual passion previously established. For this reason, Home is quite pleasurable. Also quite pleasurable are the emotions of joy and hope, which radiate so fiercely from this music. It's obvious that the singers are emotionally committed to these songs and what this uplifting worship music represents, and in these rather gloomy days, I am warmed by their faith.
Six13 should playfully experiment with song form and sound production. Given their ensemble talent, I'm eager to hear their next album.

Brief Fact Summary. MedImmune (Plaintiff), Genentech's (Defendant) licensee, feared an infringement suit by Defendant and filed a declaratory judgment action to declare Defendant's new patent invalid.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. The Declaratory Judgment Act's Article III limitation of federal court's jurisdiction does not require a patent licensee to terminate or be in breach of its license agreement prior to seeking a declaratory judgment that the underlying patent is invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed.
The ripeness doctrine asks whether there is sufficient hardship to the parties in withholding court consideration until there is enforcement action.
Facts. Genentech, Inc. (Defendant) licensed an existing patent and a pending patent to MedImmune, Inc., a drug manufacturer. The pending patent became a patent and Defendant notified Plaintiff it would owe royalties on the new patent. Plaintiff did not believe the new patent was valid and was not infringed by its drug, therefore no royalties were owed. Plaintiff did not want to risk the results of an infringement suit, so it paid the royalties under protest and filed a declaratory judgment action against Defendant. The suit was dismissed by the district court on grounds that the existence of the license agreement "obliterates any reasonable apprehension" of an infringement suit. Defendant successfully argued that Plaintiff had failed to meet the justiciability "case or controversy" requirement of Article III jurisdiction over declaratory judgment actions. Plaintiff appealed.
Issue. Does the Declaratory Judgment Act's Article III limitation of federal court's jurisdiction require a patent licensee to terminate or be in breach of its license agreement prior to seeking a declaratory judgment that the underlying patent is invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed?
Held. (Scalia, J.) No. The Declaratory Judgment Act's Article III limitation of federal court's jurisdiction does not require a patent licensee to terminate or be in breach of its license agreement prior to seeking a declaratory judgment that the underlying patent is invalid, unenforceable, or not infringed. It is appropriate to bring a declaratory judgment action when the dispute is definite, concrete, and touches the legal relations of parties with adverse legal interests. In this case, if Plaintiff had refused to pay the royalties, the elements would all be met. However, there is no threat of immediate harm because Plaintiff paid the royalties and Defendant declined bringing a suit of infringement. The issue becomes whether the party must first expose itself to liability. A party that is facing a threat by government is permitted to bring a declaratory judgment action before imminent prosecution occurs, therefore this Court must consider whether the same principles apply to a party facing threat from another private party. In Altvater v. Freeman, 319 U.S. 359 (1943), allowed a declaratory judgment action where royalties were paid under protest because the payor preserved its right to recover the royalties or challenge the claim. Defendant argues that its license agreement with Plaintiff protects Plaintiff from an infringement suit if Plaintiff pays royalties and does not challenge the patents. However, that is not what the license agreement states. Royal payments do not guarantee there will not be a challenge to the validity of the patent. In addition, the argument that Plaintiff cannot sue for invalidity and enjoy the benefits of the license at the same time fails because Plaintiff is not disputing the license agreement's validity. Defendant's arguments that jurisdiction is not found fail. Defendant also asked the Court to dismiss the lawsuit on discretionary grounds, but this is the first time this issue has been raised and the lower court can consider that on remand. Reversed and remanded.
Discussion. A long settled Federal Circuit precedent was reversed by this case, therefore cases that are similar may work through the system soon. Licensees may have felt obligated to continue paying royalties to avoid the potentially bankrupting damages award of an infringement suit or face breach of the license agreement by failing to pay royalties. This opinion allows licensees the opportunity to dispute the validity of a patent while maintaining their business pursuant to the license.

Violence can take many forms and be present in all types of programming. In all cases, whether or not material is suitable for inclusion will depend largely upon the context in which it is shown.
Before the Watershed
Before the watershed, scenes in programmes showing violence and its after-effects, including verbal descriptions of violence and sound effects, must be "appropriately limited".
Any violence should also be justifiable by the context, based on the factors described above. For example, is it cartoon violence, or more realistic violence, that viewers may find more disturbing? Is the violence real, acted, or animated? Does it feel gratuitous? Is suffering shown and, if so, to what extent? Is the material being broadcast when large numbers of young children are likely to be watching?
The inclusion of any scenes of violence that are "... easily imitable by children in a manner that is harmful or dangerous..." before the watershed is prohibited unless there is "editorial justification" and, in the case of children's programmes, must not be broadcast unless there is "strong editorial justification". Often such justification will be that the storyline makes it clear that the violent actions or behaviour that are included are unacceptable, or lead to a bad outcome with the perpetrators getting their just rewards.
Similarly, in relation to "dangerous behaviour", any dangerous behaviour before the watershed which is "... easily imitable by children in a manner that is harmful ..." must not be included unless there is "editorial justification" and, again, in the case of children's programmes, unless there is "strong editorial justification". Often such justification will be that the storyline makes it clear just how dangerous the particular activity is and, therefore, is more likely to deter children from copying the acts, rather than encourage them. However, this may not always be enough and great care should be taken where the potentially dangerous behaviour involves readily accessible domestic items or appliances, for example knives, tools, kitchen appliances.
For obvious reasons, scenes of violence, particularly of a severe nature, tend to be reserved until after the watershed. However, viewers are accustomed to and do not generally object to seeing mild violence in programmes before the watershed, if it is handled responsibly.
Violence in many forms is regularly included in some of the most popular pre-watershed programmes for example arguments, fights, domestic violence, violent crime and murder all regularly feature in many popular pre-watershed soaps. However, images of actual physical violence in such programmes are invariably kept brief and non-graphic. Normally, it is the lead up to the violence and the resolution that is shown rather than the actual violent acts. Showing pain and suffering is generally avoided in pre-watershed programmes or is strictly limited, as this tends to distress viewers most. Understandably, blood and gore, especially in a violent context, is kept to a minimum before 9pm.
After the Watershed
The inclusion of scenes of violence (real or simulated) should always be justifiable by the context, based on the factors outlined earlier in this chapter.
Violence can take many forms with some having an increased potential to cause offence. For example, real violence in a documentary may shock or offend an audience more than the same act being portrayed in a fictional drama. Similarly, violence occurring in a setting that viewers are accustomed to and normally regard as safe, for example in the home, or at school, may increase its impact.
Violent scenes, whether real or simulated, which focus on the pain and suffering of the victim, particularly if graphic and prolonged, are likely to be more distressing and potentially offensive than violent scenes that are more action-based. At the same time, a balance should normally be struck between showing the after effects of violence and not showing unduly distressing scenes of pain and suffering, as it may be irresponsible to depict some violent acts without showing the consequences i.e. the injury, damage or suffering.
Scenes of violence where there is some disparity of power between the perpetrator and the victim or where the victim is vulnerable and unable to fight back or protect him/herself for some reason, for example male violence against women or children, or group violence against an individual, are likely to have a greater impact on audiences and potentially cause more offence and distress to viewers than violence between equals.
Verbal references to sexual violence e.g. in news or factual programming, both before and after the watershed are unlikely to be problematic if they are not explicit and are justified by context. Obviously, more explicit references will be permissible after the watershed.
The visual representation of sexual violence requires special care and only rarely will it be appropriate for inclusion in programmes before the watershed. Where it is, scenes and images should be appropriately limited and non-graphic.
Even well after the watershed, the subject of sexual violence requires very careful handling. What is included must be justified by the context with viewers being clearly forewarned about what they are about to see. Programmes should not appear to condone or excuse sexual violence.
Any programmes featuring or referring to sexual violence, particularly those scheduled to transmit before the watershed should be referred to the legal and compliance department as early as possible and, in the case of drama, before the scenes in question have been shot.
Depictions of and references to suicide and self-harm (verbal or visual) require careful thought and handling. Particular care must be taken if the method of committing suicide is shown. The Code states that "...methods of suicide and self-harm must not be included in programmes except where they are editorially justified and are also justified by the context".
For programmes dealing with the subject of suicide, careful thought should be given as to whether it would be appropriate to seek professional advice on how it is being handled and how it might be perceived by vulnerable viewers. Thought should also be given as to whether or not certain information, such as a helpline number, should accompany the programme.
Any such programmes, particularly those scheduled to transmit before the watershed should be referred to the legal and compliance department as early as possible and, in the case of drama, before any scenes portraying suicide have been shot.
