High Hopes – Rationale
By Jakk Breedon
Rationale has one of the most elegant, passionate and recognisable vocals in the UK R&B scene. Over the years he has been building a name for himself with him garnering support from the likes of Elton John, Justin Timberlake as well as Dan Smith (Bastille) who eventually signed Rationale to his logo Best Laid Plans.
Today his High Hopes EP has come out and, as usual, he doesn't disappoint. This EP offers an eclectic mix of tracks that demonstrate his natural ability to write and produce music to an incredibly high standard that will leave you begging for more.
The EP opens up with Explosions which, ironically, isn't an explosive start to the EP. In fact this is one of the more calming and laidback tracks on the EP that takes your hand and leads you on a calming journey with Rationale's vocal being your guide. It's the type of track you'll find yourself nodding your head along to without even realising.
Now this track is what you'd call explosive! As expected, High Hopes opens in absolute style with Rationale coming out with a powerful vocal display with an alluring piano melody backing him before launching into the full production with an array of compelling synths and irresistible beats. This track is one of the highlights of the EP both with the production quality and brilliant songwriting.
Kindred is the ballad of this EP but Rationale makes sure it's a lot more than the standard dull dross ballad that's become expected of most artists to do. The track builds from the gentle beginning to a climatic end with en emotive vocal that makes you get a strong emotional connection to every word that he is singing.
This next track has gotten a lot of radio attention from Radio 1, I'm certain I've heard it every time I've entered a car as of late. One By One is a good track, in fact I'd say it's perfect for any party playlist with the soft synth beats that get your foot tapping and put you in the mood for going out and having a good night.
The final track is one of my personal favourites because the production is simply phenomenal with the mixture disjointed electronic beats contrasting the ambience of the rest of the track that puts you in a calmed state along with the softer side of Rationale's vocal coming through in this track. 73 has just got that sense of tender emotion that I've never really heard like this before from him. Heartbreakingly beautiful is the best way to describe it.
Rationale doesn't disappoint with his music and this whole EP is an example of that. Not one of these tracks falls flat, they all offer something different and all stand out in their own way, leaving you wanting more.

Fitzroy builds a coaching team with kick
The club is excited to announce the appointment of former Berwick premiership assistant coach, Michael Manley, as men's senior assistant coach and former Preston Bullants' reserves assistant coach, Karl Jackson, as assistant coach for 2019.
Fitzroy Premiership coach Luke Mahoney has been building a 2019 coaching team with diverse skills and experience to add to a successful mix as Fitzroy seeks to step up its game in Premier B.
"I think we're building a good coaching group with complementary skill sets; I was looking for different backgrounds and experience and I think we've achieved that with both Michael and Karl," Luke said.
"It's exciting to have two new voices with different ideas. We need to keep challenging ourselves and continue to be better as we move up a grade.
"There was a lot of interest in the positions, which is a great reflection on what we've achieved this year and the regard for the club. It also means we can choose the best."
Michael played 202 Senior Games for Lalor, Thomastown and Berwick, largely playing ruck and centre half forward. He was captain at Thomastown from 2009 to 2013 and Berwick vice captain in 2015 before retiring. As a player he was involved in three premierships in 2001, 2008 and 2015.
He comes directly from a very successful year as a senior assistant with a team that was also premier in 2018.
Michael gives the impression of a man who just can't wait to get started at Fitzroy. With childhood memories of going down to Fitzroy training at Coburg City Oval to have a kick with Bernie Quinlan, he's keen on the idea of Fitzroy's history but it was the opportunity to continue to develop his coaching in a good quality competition that appealed most.
"Given my role at Berwick, my strength is in the ability to read other team's structures and identify strengths and weaknesses. I'm also a business analyst, so in a way I can apply my skills to understanding other teams' tactics.
"I'm keen to start looking at the vision of the other Premier B sides to understand the standard, the structure, the style and I also want to watch the vision of our games too, so I can see where we might improve and see what other teams might do to try and beat us. If we can identify some weaknesses, then we can work on consistency across the group."
Michael says he wants to work with our ruck team and also has a lot of on field leadership experience which may be valuable, as a former captain. "I'm also recently out of the game so I think that helps in understanding the modern football and modern style.
"It's a blank canvas in a way; a new challenge for me. Fitzroy is something fresh and new with a new league, new standard, new team. I will get a lot of satisfaction in helping the group at Fitzroy go to the next level with their play."
With a sporting background that's included volleyball, athletics, Rugby Union and Rugby League, the native Queenslander, has played with two years with Ivanhoe and one (as playing assistant coach) for the Preston Bullants before a back injury recently put an end to his short football career.
Karl's day job is Head of Data & Analytics at Champion Data, where he has been for 11 years; this has involved close contact with AFL coaches and analysts, and construction of new algorithms/metrics to analyse AFL teams and players.
"I got a taste of coaching in the reserves with the Bullants but I was craving more responsibility at a higher level. I know quite a few friends who have played at Fitzroy and I get the impression there is a good vibe.
"The thing I will bring is the lessons we can learn from thinking about football analytically.
"As a coach I think the relationships are the most important thing; you want to have conversations rather than tell people what to do. I focus on personal development and tactics. At the end of the day if players aren't developing individually then the team is not developing either."
Michael and Karl will meet with the leadership group during the week and can't wait to get stuck into pre season from 3 December.
Stay tuned for some women's coaching news this week.

A Chaldean Catholic archbishop in Iraq said he and other bishops were "delighted" that the United States Agency for International Development is making good on its pledge to help Iraq's historic Christian, Yazidi and other religious minorities rebuild their lives after attacks by Islamic State militants.
"The time should be now and the help should be immediate and effective. Foremost, is the need to rebuild houses so there is a community to go back to and be there," Archbishop Warda told Catholic News Service by phone after the visit.
"Our hopes are high now that this delegation will bring some changes. We especially appreciate the efforts of Vice President Pence and USAID to have them deeply involved in this situation," Archbishop Warda said, adding that the delegation also visited Qaraqosh and other devastated towns.
"The message they sent was important: 'We do care.' The American government and the Americans do care about the fate of the Christians, Yazidis and the minorities and want to help," Archbishop Warda said.
"Christian" was written on the wall and the family's crosses and pictures of Jesus were broken and strewn on the floor. The damage was so severe that the family thought of leaving and returning to Dohuk, a town farther north where they had sheltered. In the end, they decided to stay and restore their home.
Archbishop Warda acknowledged that security is a concern. "But the fact that there are 7,000 Christian families that are back home, there is a possibility of security, if there is a willingness from all sides to really work hard on this," he said.
He said that meant that "concerned governments and parties need to bring a dialogue of life that existed before back again" to Iraq's rich cultural mosaic. "As Christians, there is a commitment also to play positive role in reconciliation and peacebuilding," he added.
However, only 400,000 to 500,000 Christians now live in Iraq, compared to 1.5 million before the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in 2003, Cardinal Sako said. Other observers put their number even lower at 200,000. Meanwhile, the Yazidi population, victims of Islamic State genocide, also are greatly diminished, with an estimated 500,000 living in and around Sinjar.
"We are grateful for the new additional funding to expand our on-going assistance to Christians and other religious minorities returning to their homes in northern Iraq," said Kevin Hartigan, CRS regional director for Europe and the Middle East.
The additional USAID funding "will complement our ongoing U.S. government-funded programs to provide housing repair and education to returning minorities," he added.
"Along with the vital support we get from the Catholic community in the United States, the generous, constant and flexible funding we receive from the U.S. government has enabled CRS and Caritas Iraq to provide education and trauma healing for children, shelter and financial assistance to Iraqis of all faiths, on a large scale," Hartigan explained.


Going for the laughs with cute, self-effacing humor has a way of winning the hearts of parishioners, and with plenty of alligators chomping on pastors nowadays, the thought of having some friendly faces in the crowd is appealing. Besides, all of us like our egos stroked. The theology of glory has a pernicious appeal, and going down the glory road telling one-liners is a way to get strokes. All too many pastors covet the reputation of being a "regular guy," and humor in the pulpit, or in the unfortunate after-service announcements, is a way to gain that reputation.
More than a decade ago, while still in the sect of the Wisconsin Synod, I crossed swords with a pastor who was a member of a Christian contemporary music band, and who was an advocate of the use of rock music in the church. An approving article in the synod's official publication, known then as The Northwestern Lutheran, had this to say about the group's demeanor when performing: "When this musical group is performing, they engage in antics that might be described as undignified and tell jokes best described as groaners. They display emotion openly—especially their happiness in the Lord" (vol. 79, no. 6).
The prophet Elijah could taunt the prophets of Baal as they pranced about their altar cutting themselves with knives, suggesting that perhaps their god had gone to the WC. His use of sarcasm, a legitimate form of humor, was the prelude to their getting their gizzards cut out. Ha! Ha! St. Paul employs sarcasm in his wish that the Judaizers, who were troubling the Galatians about circumcision, would go all the way with their knives (5:12). Ironically, sarcasm is the one form of humor which the sensitive proponents of cutesy humor in the church abhor.
If the preaching preserved for us in both testaments serves as any kind of paradigm at all, as it well should, then you realize how out of keeping much present-day preaching has become. There is a dearth in biblical preaching of the kind of crowd-pleasing humor that has become commonplace in the church. Neither the sermons of the prophets nor those of the apostles nor those of the Lord contain this kind of playing to the crowd. Lest I be accused of pooping on someone else's party, remember that I was one of the editors of the Motley Magpie. I know humor, I'm a real fun guy, but I also know humor's place, and it's not in the holy of holies. Finally, isn't that the root of the problem: a loss of the sense of the holy? So convinced that grace is ours and beyond our losing, we trifle with grace. The priests Nadab and Abihu suffered the horrible consequences of trifling with unauthorized fire (so much for creative worship, Num. 3:4). "If the righteous is scarcely saved" (1 Pet. 4:18), then preachers had better forego imitating Jay Leno in favor of being preachers of the true saving righteousness and the relief which it brings the burdened souls of their people.
I was once asked if God had a sense of humor. If He does it is very ironic. He makes you laugh through your tears at your foolishness and your lack of faith. I suppose that maybe on occasion a knowing smile came across the face of that little shyster Jacob as he looked back upon his life. However, this was far removed from the knee-slapping guffaws of today's ecclesiastical jokesters. Jacob saw his sinful folly against the backdrop of the mercy of the One he wrestled to a draw at the ford of the Jabbok. The old man had every reason to rejoice over Him who is mercy; however, there was little reason to slap his gimpy leg in gut-splitting laughter.


Now that the weather's getting colder, I'm finding myself craving warming, comforting dishes. But as I'm also eating healthy, the challenge is not to reach for the stodgy, fatty foods. This Moroccan vegetable tagine is a real favourite of mine. I love the deep blend of flavours and the way the sweetness of the dried fruit and the smoked paprika contrast with the spicier elements. It's a gorgeous dish packed full of vegetables and general goodness.
And as with so many of my recipes, I always batch cook this, generally quadrupling the ingredients so I have plenty of portions ready and waiting in the freezer for those days when I can't face cooking.
The word tagine refers to the traditional Middle Eastern pots the dish is traditionally cooked and served in, although it is widely used to refer to the food itself too. I don't have a tagine big enough to make up the quantities I need, but it tastes equally as good when made in a regular large saucepan.
It's simple to make, taking around 45 minutes to prepare and cook. Plus you only need one pot, so there's not much cleaning up afterwards, either. I hope you enjoy it.
Warm the olive oil in a large saucepan, then gently fry the onion and garlic for five minutes, or until softened.
Stir in the spices until the onions are coated.
Add the courgettes, carrots and aubergines and cook for 10-15 minutes, until softened.
Add the tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and dried apricots and simmer for five minutes.
Add the chick peas and a handful of fresh, chopped coriander and cook for a further five minutes.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, garnish with fresh coriander and serve with cous cous, rice or flat bread.
