How The Coral's James Skelly is building a northern musical empire at Liverpool's Parr Street Studios

The Coral man is kick starting an indie revival in Liverpool's Parr Street Studios
It's 25 years since Parr Street Studios first opened its doors. In that time, everyone from Coldplay, The Stone Roses, Black Sabbath, Echo And The Bunnymen, New Order, Pulp and The Coral to The Spice Girls and Rihanna have cracked out LPs at the Liverpool sound lab.
With the help of his brother and fellow band member Ian Skelly and producer Rich Turvey, The Coral's James Skelly is currently at the helm of a huge revival at Parr Street thanks to his independent label Skeleton Key which, in the last three years, has helped skyrocket NME VO5 tour headliners Blossoms to the top of the UK album chart and opened the door for thriving new acts including Manchester post punks Cabbage, last year's Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition winners She Drew The Gun, Rory Wynne and The Sundowners.

"With Skeleton Key, the way we look at it is we've got your back," Skelly explains. "We might not have everything like a load of money but we've got the backing and belief in the artist and we'll develop them."
"That's the idea: to give them a platform without loads of pressure where they can develop. In the past there's been too much pressure on bands from labels to fit in early on. By the time they've got them good enough to fit in, they're out of fashion and no-one wants it anymore. You see that all the time. They've got them a deal, they've got them a load of wedge but then the band don't even know who they are anymore."
"I just back a band if I like them. I don't care if they're trendy or whatever. It's not about that for me."
Along with the DIY ethic of his label, Skelly and Turvey's production skills have played a massive part in putting northern bands like Blossoms and Cabbage back on the map.
"I remember when James first got in touch with us, we'd only been going for about six months and he got in touch because he'd heard our first demo 'Blow' and he liked it," enthuses Blossoms singer Tom Ogden.
"We were buzzing at the time, we were like 'Fucking hell, James from The Coral wants to meet up'.

He continues: "Looking back that was like the first major thing that happened with the band and it's stuck with us ever since. Luckily we found someone great early on because as you get bigger you might find that you're surrounded by people who are full of shit but James is completely not like that. He gave us guidance and he had experience from things he's done in the past."
"He's pretty militant," admits Cabbage frontman Lee Broadbent, who are currently working on their debut album with The Coral man. "He knows straight away what he wants. We had this song where the first verse was not on the verge of a rap but it was poetry done fast and the second verse had a kind of medley over it. James didn't like the medley and he said 'I want you to write a second verse'. I was like 'Alright when we doing that, next week?' And he give me a pad of paper and pen and goes, 'Right you've got 10 minutes'.
"So I went downstairs I was scribbling, shitting myself, getting up on the internet trying to find ways I could connect some lyrics immediately to the first verse. Luckily I managed to scrape something together even to this day, I'm still pretty proud of. The fact that James put me on the spot and made me deliver something, that's really where the magic comes in."

"He'll tell you straight away if you didn't do a good take. He doesn't mess around," explains She Drew The Gun singer Louisa Roach, whose debut album 'Memories Of Another Future' is out on Friday (March 17). "You just feel like you're working with someone you can trust which is the best way to work. I feel like I've got someone on my side."
The rise in Skelly's production workload has also seen The Coral chief launch a Skeleton Key live YouTube channel at Parr Street Studios, where his acts lay down live tracks for fans to view and get their hands on a vinyl only release.
"I kind of like unfashionable bands in a way rather than bands people think might be trendy," says Skelly. "I like people who are actually outsiders. If you look at all the bands on Skeleton Key none of them fit into anything. That's why they're ideal for us. And I've always wanted that. I always liked Smokey Robinson and the way he could do it all and write songs and Motown. That's what I wanted to do and help these bands come through."
In a digital age where trolls lurk around every social media corner, Skelly also feels that it's harder than ever for young bands to speak out without getting shot down.

"You can't even be young and make a mistake now, it's very difficult," says Skelly.
"A lot of people say 'Why don't kids these days speak up, why don't they say what I think?'. It's a younger generation now and you can't understand that unless you're from that generation. You might spout off and be a big mouth on the internet but once you get that thing when you get some backlash, it's very difficult [to deal with] because your nerves just get shot to pieces."
Going forward, Skelly's roster continues to swell with new acts including Rory Wynne, who is about to embark on the VO5 NME Awards Tour and Birmingham duo Cut Glass Kings.
"We're developing some really good young bands," adds Skelly. "It's great. I love it. That's why you do it, for the buzz of it."

Biden will take no action against MBS after intelligence report finds Saudi leader responsible for murder of journalist
The Biden administration will take no direct action against Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman following the release of a US intelligence assessment that concluded he ordered the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
The long-awaited report was released by the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) on Friday, more than two years after dissident Khashoggi was murdered by a hit squad at the Saudi consulate in Istanbul.
"We assess that Saudi Arabia's crown prince Mohammed bin Salman approved an operation in Istanbul, Turkey, to capture or kill Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi," the report noted.
The assessment was based on "the crown prince's control of decision making in the kingdom since 2017, the direct involvement of a key adviser and members of Mohammed bin Salman's protective detail in the operation, and the crown prince's support for using violent measures to silence dissidents abroad, including Khashoggi".
Soon after the release of the report, the State Department announced sanctions against 76 Saudi individuals who it said had engaged in threatening dissidents overseas. The sanctions will apply to some who were believed to have been involved in Khashoggi's murder.
The report was compiled by US intelligence agencies soon after the brutal killing of Khashoggi in October 2018 , but had not been released by the Trump administration due to fears it would impact arms sales worth hundreds of millions of dollars to the kingdom.
Donald Trump cited the economic benefits of the US relationship with Saudi Arabia as a reason for not acting on the killing of Khashoggi, who worked as a columnist for the Washington Post.
"I only say they spend $400 to $450 billion over a period of time, all money, all jobs, buying equipment," Mr Trump said in 2019 when asked for his response to a United Nations report into the killing. "I'm not like a fool that says, 'We don't want to do business with them.' And by the way, if they don't do business with us, you know what they do? They'll do business with the Russians or with the Chinese."
The decision to declassify the intelligence report is an early indication that Joe Biden's administration is likely to take a tougher approach with the long-time US ally.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki told reporters on Friday that the administration has been clear that it will "recalibrate our relationship" with Saudi Arabia. Mr Biden announced earlier this month that the US would halt its support for a Saudi Arabia-led military campaign in Yemen.
The release of the report was followed by an announcement by the State Department of new measures which it claimed would "reinforce the world's condemnation of that crime, and to push back against governments that reach beyond their borders to threaten and attack journalists and perceived dissidents for exercising their fundamental freedoms".
Secretary of state Antony Blinken said the so-called "Khashoggi Ban" would impose visa restrictions on individuals "who, acting on behalf of a foreign government, are believed to have been directly engaged in serious, extraterritorial counter-dissident activities, including those that suppress, harass, surveil, threaten, or harm journalists, activists, or other persons perceived to be dissidents for their work, or who engage in such activities with respect to the families or other close associates of such persons".
"As a matter of safety for all within our borders, perpetrators targeting perceived dissidents on behalf of any foreign government should not be permitted to reach American soil," Mr Blinken added in a statement.
The State Department is also said to be considering a halt to the sale of offensive weapons to Saudi Arabia.
But the Biden administration's response to the murder was conspicuous for the absence of any specific sanctions targeting Prince Mohammed, who the ODNI report found to have ordered the operation. During his presidential campaign, Mr Biden had promised to make Saudi Arabia a "pariah" for the murder.
One senior Biden administration official told Reuters they are seeking a "recalibration (in ties) – not a rupture. That's because of the important interests that we do share."
But some Democrats are calling for tougher action against the crown prince. Elizabeth Warren welcomed the report's release "so the whole world can see Mohammed bin Salman for who he is."
But she added: "Nobody should escape consequences for their role in this assassination. All pending arms sales to the Saudis should be cancelled and the administration should conduct a wholesale review of the US-Saudi relationship."
The ODNI, a cabinet-level agency that coordinates between US intelligence arms, said the killing could not have been carried out without his approval.
"Since 2017, the crown prince has had absolute control of the kingdom's security and intelligence organisations, making it highly unlikely that Saudi officials would have carried out an operation of this nature without the crown prince's authorisation," it said.
Khashoggi was working as a columnist for the Washington Post when he was killed by a hit squad which included members of Prince Mohammed's security team. The 59-year-old had gone to the Saudi embassy in Istanbul to collect documents needed to obtain a licence to marry his fiancee Hatice Cengiz.
Ms Cengiz waited outside while Khashoggi entered the building to receive the documents. Inside, he was set upon by the hit squad, who strangled him and dismembered his body. His remains have never been found.
A Turkish bug planted at the consulate reportedly captured the sound of a forensic saw, operated by a Saudi colonel who was also a forensics expert, dismembering Khashoggi's body within an hour of his entering the building.
The prince said in 2019 he took "full responsibility" for the killing since it happened on his watch, but denied ordering it.
Saudi officials have said Khashoggi's killing was the work of rogue Saudi security and intelligence officials. Saudi Arabian courts last year announced they had sentenced eight Saudi nationals to prison in Khashoggi's killing. They were not identified.

Innis & Gunn Announces Major Collaboration with Heriot Watt University's World-Renowned International Centre for Brewing & Distilling as it Plans New Brewery and Extends Crowd Fund to 31 Jan 2020
First major brewery in Edinburgh for over 150 years
Brewer commits long term support of academic learning
Scottish craft brewer Innis & Gunn has announced Heriot-Watt University's Research Park to the west of Edinburgh – home to the world-renowned International Centre for Brewing & Distilling – as the location for its new brewery. Subject to planning permission and further corporate and regulatory approvals, it will be the first major brewery to be built in Edinburgh for 150 years.
The tie-up is the UK's first major collaboration of this type between a full-scale brewery and a university and will create a centre for brewing studies and applied learning on the world stage.
The collaboration will be on a par with other famed brewery universities like Weinstephan in Germany, and Heriot-Watt and Innis & Gunn anticipate a wealth of benefits to arise as a result.
Innis & Gunn's £3m 'Beer Money' crowdfunding campaign through the Seedrs platform will help fund the new brewery which the brewer plans to build on a two hectare site at Riccarton which is planned to be operational in 2021. Now that the site has been revealed, the brand has chosen to extend the crowd fund period until 31 January 2020 to give as many people as possible the chance to invest.
The brewery will also be part financed via a £15m loan which is currently being progressed, subject to due diligence.
As well as brewing Innis & Gunn's core range of Craft Lager-Beer, Original, Session IPA and other unique barrel-aged beers, it will house a high speed canning, bottling and kegging capability, streamlining several outsourced brewing and packaging sites in one location, reducing Innis & Gunn's carbon footprint. It will also house a visitor centre and offer tours, a Tap Room will be added at a later date.
Built to meet demand for Innis & Gunn's award-winning beers, it is anticipated that up to 30 new jobs will be created, with Innis & Gunn's existing 45 office based team relocating from offices in Edinburgh's Randolph Crescent.
Heriot-Watt University's International Centre for Brewing & Distilling students will benefit from the brewery through opportunities gaining hands-on experience across all aspects of brewing operations in a large-scale production brewery. Innis & Gunn and Heriot Watt University will announce details of the academic collaborations between them including Innis & Gunn's commitment to learning in due course.
Innis & Gunn's Founder and Master Brewer, Dougal Gunn Sharp, said:
"Building this brewery is a big step for Innis & Gunn in delivering our ambitious growth plan, from which we can capitalise on the existing strong performance of our craft lager and portfolio of IPAs and barrel-aged beers."
"We are creating an centre for brewing, collaboration and applied learning on the world stage. Innis & Gunn and Heriot-Watt University are both highly respected international brands renowned for their quality and forward thinking. This collaboration brings these two brands together in the most exciting way we can imagine."
"Working with the International Centre of Brewing and Distilling opens up endless opportunities by combining our creative abilities and the talent pool at the university with our new world class, modern brewery. We hope to be able to research new beers and brewing techniques, develop pioneering carbon and water saving technologies and create new products that respond to changing demands from consumers, as well as facilitating in-work learning for students."
"Edinburgh was in the past a centre of brewing renown, with over 40 breweries in the capital. We are especially proud to be part of the revitalisation of Edinburgh as a world centre for brewing. Having our brewery here, where we first brewed Innis & Gunn, completes the journey I started back in 2003. Building it next to a centre of excellence for brewing and distilling talent makes absolute business sense; cementing a long-standing relationship with the University and enabling us to add on-campus practical experience for students."
"It's a great location for a purpose-built facility that will be the beating heart of our business. It will give us huge flexibility for our current and future needs, increasing our agility in the market and simplifying our existing brewing and logistics operations."
Prof Stephen McLaughlin, Head of the School of Engineering and Physical Sciences, Heriot-Watt University
"Heriot-Watt has a long and distinguished history of excellence in research in Brewing and Distilling built on a foundation of collaboration with the Brewing and Distilling industries. The choice of Innis & Gunn to locate their new Brewery on our research park is an affirmation of our role in this vitally important Scottish industry. We look forward to welcoming them on to our research park and to successfully collaborating with them."
Innis & Gunn's brewery in Perthshire will continue to brew the award-winning Inveralmond Brewery range of cask and bottles ales and will focus on small scale experimentation and limited edition barrel-aged beers.

Here's What Cincinnati Residents Will See On November Ballots
By Jay Hanselman • Aug 1, 2018
Nheyob / Wikimedia Commons
Cincinnati residents will be asked to approve at least four Charter amendments in November, and that number could grow to seven by next month.
City council approved five items Wednesday, but Mayor John Cranley later vetoed one of them. Another two could be considered at a special city council session later this month.
Charter Amendments that were approved for the November include:
Two-year terms for city council members starting in 2021
Staggered, four-year terms for city council members starting in 2021 with the top five in the race that year serving until 2025 and the remaining four in the top nine contest running again in 2023
A proposal to prohibit unlimited and anonymous contributions made through limited liability companies (LLC) to a candidate for municipal office
Giving points on civil service exams for city employment to military veterans no matter what state they currently live in (right now those points only go to Ohio residents)
With proposals on the ballot for both two-year and four-year terms for council members, if voters were to OK both plans, city lawyers said the one with the highest "yes" vote count would be enacted. Voters could also reject both measures, meaning the current system of electing all nine council members every four years will remain in place.
Council member Greg Landsman supports the staggered four-year terms, but he also voted to place the two-year plan on the ballot.
"With the four-year term you have folks who are able to focus on governing as opposed to constantly campaigning," Landsman said. "However, every two years the public gets to weigh in on their council."
Council member Amy Murray supports two-year terms. But she's concerned staggered, four-year terms will lead to complete Democratic control of council, leaving Republicans and Independents out of the mix.
City council approved a Charter amendment to allow council to hold executive, or closed, sessions. Mayor Cranley vetoed that proposal after Wednesday's meeting.
City council will have an opportunity to override Cranley's veto in September, just ahead of a deadline to put the issue on the fall ballot.
Cranley opened his remarks on the issue by calling it the "secret government amendment."
"I'm always amazed at the continual effort to push for secret government, and I will oppose it," Cranley said. "And I hope the people will oppose it to keep government open. And I think the hallmark of good government is open government."
The charter amendment would allow city council to hold executive sessions consistent with Ohio law. That would let council hold closed sessions to discuss personnel matters and pending litigation without the public and the press in the room.
Council member David Mann supports the proposal. He argues if the mayor and city administration are worried about transparency, they should stop sending items to council at the last minute.
"If there's that commitment to sunshine, then the administrative practices and the practice with respect to the business of council need to be changed dramatically," Mann said.
Cranley also held another Charter amendment off Wednesday's agenda that would have asked voters to increase the city's admissions tax by 2 percent. That revenue would have funded human services organizations and neighborhood programs.
City council could consider that proposal later this month and another that would create incentives for graduates of the Cincinnati Public Schools Public Safety Academy to pursue their careers with the city's police and fire departments.
Six council members must vote "yes" for any charter amendment to make the ballot. Residents can also collect petition signatures to place a charter amendment before voters.

Search held for missing soldier
The 23-year-old Army medic was last seen with an acquaintance in the early morning hours of April 14 after a night out with friends.
Friends and strangers came together from all across the state to search for the missing soldier.
Stacy Dennis knows the pain of searching for a missing loved one. Her niece, Jamie Fraley, has been missing for four years and is now feared dead. With that in mind, Dennis and her friend drove three hours from Gastonia to help find Kelli.
"It's hard when you don't know where your loved one's at," Davis said. "It's the pain, we share the pain, and we know what they're going through.".
Many who didn't know Kelli, said volunteering their Saturday was the least they could do to help in the search.
"Kelli was a soldier. She risked her life, so I can come out here and look for her," Davis said.
For now, the group of Army wives who organized the search said they will continue to search for Kelli every Saturday until they find a sign of the missing soldier.
The group is also planning to hold a vigil Friday, May 11.
A Virginia company that specializes in finding missing people is now offering an $8,000 reward for any information leading to Kelli.
For more information about the vigil, visit Facebook.
And here's a link to the family's Facebook page

4 local stars have chance to hear names called at NFL Draft
In a little more than 48 hours the 2014 NFL Draft will commence from Radio City Music Hall in New York City.
At the same time, four players tied to the great state of Minnesota will be waiting to hear their names called during the Draft. Former Gophers defensive lineman Ra'Shede Hageman and defensive back Brock Vereen, Concordia-St. Paul defensive end Zach Moore and former Cretin-Derham Hall star offensive lineman Seantrel Henderson all have a chance to play in the NFL.
Hageman is considered a potential first-round pick. ESPN draft expert Mel Kiper Jr. told Marcus Fuller of the Pioneer Press that Hageman needs to improve his endurance to play four quarters but he loves his athletic ability. At 6-foot-6, 315 pounds, Hageman can still do a 360-degree dunk.
According to the Pioneer Press, ESPN's Todd McShay referred to Vereen as one of the "most underrated" players in the draft. Meanwhile, NFL Network's Charles Davis thinks Vereen will be off the board by the fourth round.
"He's played a lot of safety," Davis said. "He's one of those quicker safeties that you can plug in and play free and strong, although he seems to be a lot more closer to the line of scrimmage. He's more of a playmaker in that way. I've had some teams that thought with his speed and quickness he might be corner."
The Star Tribune calls Concordia's Moore a long-shot to get drafted. Not one Golden Bear has been drafted in the 45-year history of the football program.
"People fail to realize that there's competition at every level," Moore said. "Just because it's not publicized or broadcast on TV like some of these D-I schools, to me really it's not that big of an adjustment."
Moore holds the Concordia-St. Paul record with 33 career sacks. According to CBS Minnesota, one of Moore's coaches called him the "whole package."
And then there is the curious case of Henderson, who on Monday was the center of attention thanks to a report that he tested positive for marijuana at the NFL Combine. Henderson also quit his pro-day workout early, leaving the field without an explanation, only to later say he was dehydrated.
Henderson was suspended three times while playing for the Miami Hurricanes, so the latest red flags only add to the questions about which teams will be willing to take a flyer on him.

IGNITE was initiated by some Houston's First families in the fall of 2017 with the vision of providing a night of families, food, fun and prayer to IGNITE the school year with faith, hope and love at area high schools.
As the 2018-19 school year gets underway, Houston's First parents and students are again helping to plan and lead IGNITE gatherings at the following schools (listed in date order). If you have questions about IGNITE at one of the schools, reach out to the contact person provided.
Pray for this grassroots movement to have a lasting impact on each student, teacher, administrator, and campus this school year — and beyond.


NASA's Voyager 2 may be soon going to enter the interstellar space in the coming days. The US space agency has said this after they have recorded an increase in cosmic rays which has originated from outside of the solar system.
Voyager 2 of NASA has got launched during the year 1977. Currently, this probe is about 17.7 billion kilometres from Earth or about 118 times of distance from Earth to the Sun.
As per recent reports, the probe has detected about 5 per cent increase in the cosmic rays since August. This increase in cosmic rays shows that the probe is now approaching close to cross the heliosphere and after which it will be entering the interstellar realm. In the year 2012, NASA's Voyager 1 has already reached the interstellar space, and in that process, it also shows an increase of cosmic rays.
From 2007, this probe has been travelling through the outermost layer of the heliosphere. This layer is a vast bubble that is present around the Sun and other planets which are dominated by solar materials as well as magnetic fields. The scientists who all are watching the Voyager said that they are now watching the spacecraft keenly as it is on the verge of exiting the heliosphere.
When this happens, Voyager 2 will become the 2nd man-made object to do so. The first man-made object that has existed the heliosphere was Voyager 1.
The instrument whose name is Low-Energy Charged Particle that was present in the Probe has detected an increase in higher energy cosmic rays. These rays are said to be the fast-moving particles which originate outside the solar system. But not all the rays travel as some of them get blocked by the heliosphere. For this reason, Voyager 2 is said to detect the increase in the rate of cosmic rays as it goes near to the boundary of Heliosphere.
In Voyager 2 it has got a gold-plated record that has contain sights as well as the sound of Earth. This has been included in it as in case it will encounter alien life forms then this may help to have contact with them. The song that was there in the probe was Johnny B. Goode, which was written and performed by Chuck Berry.
Voyager 2 has lasted longer than it is expected and currently it is making its way to Neptune and Uranus.

Friday, 8th December, 2017 — Targem Games and Gaijin Entertainment announce the release of Update 0.8.3 for Crossout, the post-apocalyptic MMO action game. The update adds new game modes for both PvP and PvE, a new map, and significantly improves the AI enemies, which are now much more varied and smarter.
The new PvP mode is called "Bedlam" and is open to all Crossout players, regardless of their level. Respawns in this mode are unlimited, allowing players to put their constructions to the test against other players and quickly find out which parts of their design work and which don't. Once the ride is perfected, the unforgiving battles of "Bedlam" are a great way to improve tactics and teamwork.
In the new PvE mission "Frontier Defense" players need to re-capture an oil rig that was previously lost to a group of raiders. After having been pushed out of the area by the enemy, players now have to mount a counterattack to reach the rig and defeat all enemies protecting it. As soon as the area is secured, players are able to repair disabled raider defense turrets and continue to protect the rig against multiple waves of enemies.
A former Scavenger settlement, "Refinery" is a new PvE map located on site of a destroyed chemical plant, where a valuable artifact of the old world has caught the eye of treasure hunters. Players can choose to take the short route directly through the flooded passages or take the easier but longer detour around the compound to get in through the rear entrance. Once inside the settlement, players can choose to further pass the flooded passageways, or use the refinery's extensive but narrow pipe network to navigate the area. Entrances are mined and heavily defended by raiders, which means getting the artifact won't be an easy task - but surely worth it.
All computer-controlled (AI) enemies featured in Crossout's PvE modes have seen a significant rework to more closely represent the different factions present in game. Having learnt additional tricks, the AI is now far more dangerous in battle. Enemies from the "Lunatics" faction, for example, will show up in large numbers and pry on the player with the least amount of hitpoints in close combat. "Nomad" enemies will employ modern technologies like drones and stealth generators and generally favor combat from distance. The factions opposing the player in PvE change regularly, making it necessary to also change tactics as well. For now, AI enemies of the Lunatics, Nomads and Scavengers are available. With future updates, reworked enemies of the other factions will be added as well.

Ok, I have reverse engineered the RM file from your bin file and have replaced the file myself.
Thanks, because all I did was edit the bin file. I never figured out how to go from a RMDU to bin.
Shouldn't the bin file be posted in the Slingbox Binary File section?
Wow, how did you figure out how to edit a bin file? That's really making things harder for yourself because, for starters, they are slightly encrypted and secondly there are checksums that you'll need to calculate.
Did you find any of the remaining missing functions?
Yes, we will put the bin file in the Slingbox folder, but we'll generate 2 copies (ie, a PL and RV copy) and include a readme file.
There are two remaining buttons to be discovered in the DVR functions. I have only used the STB as a satellite receiver so I'm not familiar with the recording functions. However, in testing buttons I did trigger several recordings and I now know that the double_up_arrow moves up in the recording list while viewing recordings. Alternatively one can return to the recording list and use the up/down_arrow to navigate. I may be able to find the code for this.
The other missing button is the ZOOM and thus far I have not found a situation where it is used, so I can't test for it.
RE editing, I used the Advanced>Import Binary Upgrade and Export Binary Upgrade.
Ah, so that shows that you do know how to use RM, so what is it about starting with an RMDU file that puzzles you?
I stumbled around until I found something that worked and that was editing the bin from the GeosatPro HDVR1200.
The double up arrow is 33 and is used to move up the recorded program list while playing another recording. I put in on button 'skip+' in my copy of the bin. Likewise 31 is the double down arrow and does the opposite. All of the other record functions accessed by left click>playback are correct. There is nothing I can do about ZOOM since I can't get anything to zoom with the physical remote.
I will consider this project finished.
Thank all of you for the help and I will leave to you posting of the working files.
I have updated the file based on your most recent comments, please try it out and see if it's correct. You have Schedule listed twice, so I called them Schedule-10 and Schedule-16 based on the custom keys that you chose for them.
My error, Custom 10 is Favorite, as in favorite group of channels. I would put skip+ as 33 and skip- as 31, otherwise it tests OK.
I had 33 and 31 in there as PAGE +/-. Do the current skip codes (ie, 20 and 27) do anything? And what about the OBC 30 down-arrow code, is it worth including that, or is its functionality done better by the other codes? You originally said that the Green/Audio button was OBC 41 but then you changed it to 32, does 41 do anything?
I've updated the file with the other changes, and put 30 and 41 on Custom 17 and 18 if you want to remind yourself what they do.
33 and 31 work OK as PAGE +/-, but I prefer to put volume +/- (21 and 28) on those buttons. This volume control moves the volume two steps, while left/right_arrow moves the volume one step. 33 and 31 work only while in the DVD mode and are perhaps better relegated to the original skip +/- accessed by right click. 20 and 27 have no function.
30 is channel down, which we have elsewhere so no need for Custom 17 and 41 does nothing so we don't need Custom 18.
TV/VCR (70) is labeled TV/Radio on the remote.
ENTER (15) doesn't seem to have a function, a pause in entering channel numbers enters them.
Down_arrow should be 90 as currently entered, not 30 which only changes channel and does not navigate menus as well.
I've done all the updates as suggested, but I'm still a little bit confused over OBCs 30, 31 and 33.
is that correct, so OBC 31 works as a SKIP-DOWN and PAGE-DOWN button in addition to being a CHANNEL-UP button? How is that button labeled on the original remote, is it labeled +/UP or -/DOWN ?
Using the physical remote when watching satellite channels, CH+/- change channels and the double_arrow+/- (skip+/-) have no function. When watching recordings, both CH+/- and skip+/- do the same thing, so I may have been in error to say skip- was also 31. It must be something else so that it operates like skip+ (33), only in the recording mode. It will be a couple of days before I can work on this again.
The remote map supplied by GeosatPro shows the skip- as 20 and was unique. All other instances where codes were not duplicated proved to be correct, so this is where I will start. Remember, in the five instances where a code was used twice, the second (from the top of the remote) was a changed during manufacturing and has had to be determined by brute force.
We don't need Custom 17,18.

Apple sets up iPhones to relay location for 911 calls

Apple sets up iPhones to relay location for 911 calls Apple is trying to solve a problem caused by the technological mismatch between a 50-year-old system built for landlines Check out this story on detroitnews.com: https://detne.ws/2yivFaw
Associated Press Published 10:04 a.m. ET June 18, 2018

San Francisco – Apple is trying to drag the U.S.'s antiquated system for handling 911 calls into the 21st century.
If it lives up to Apple's promise, the iPhone's next operating system will automatically deliver quicker and more reliable information pinpointing the location of 911 calls to about 6,300 emergency response centers in the U.S.
Apple is trying to solve a problem caused by the technological mismatch between a 50-year-old system built for landlines and today's increasingly sophisticated smartphones.
An estimated 80 percent of roughly 240 million emergency calls in the U.S. this year will come from mobile phones, most of which are capable of precisely tracking where their users are.
Emergency calling centers, however, don't get that detailed location information from mobile 911 calls. Instead, they get the location of the cellular tower transmitting the call, and must rely on other methods to figure out where the caller is.
That can take up precious time and often isn't very accurate, especially when calls come from inside a building. Emergency responders are sometimes dispatched a mile or more away from a caller's location.
Apple's upcoming 911 feature relies on technology from RapidSOS, a New York startup. The approach developed by Apple and RapidSOS sends location data from an iPhone to a "clearinghouse" accessible to emergency calling centers. Only the 911 calling centers will be able to see the data during the call, and none of it can be used for non-emergency purposes, according to Apple.
Individual call centers will each have to embrace the technology required to communicate with the RapidSOS clearinghouse. Some centers already have the compatible software, according to Apple, but others will have to install upgrades to their existing software.
Apple expects calling centers for large metropolitan areas to upgrade more quickly than those in rural areas.
Tom Wheeler, a former chairman for the Federal Communications Commission, believes Apple's new approach for locating 911 calls will set a new industry standard. "This is going to save a lot of lives," said Wheeler, now a visiting professor at Harvard University. He said he hopes other phone makers will follow Apple's lead.
The planned changes were announced Monday in Nashville, Tennessee during a 911 convention. They'll be part of iOS 12, the next version of Apple's iPhone software, which the company will release in September as a free update.

Armour Con
Daniel and Ami Barboza
The year was 1998. A short rapscallion named Daniel from Dartmouth, Massachusetts encountered two things that he had no idea would eventually take over his life. One was Warhammer 40,000 2nd edition, and the other was Ami. It was a match made in heaven, but you wouldn't know that from watching them go head to head at the table. The gaming power couple was well known in the Warmachine/Hordes scene after Ami picked up the game in 2011, and their experiences with the local community led them to open up The Armoury Wargames and Hobbies in June of 2015 (on Ami's birthday, no less!)
Since then, the pair have been bringing gaming to the masses in the Southcoast with no signs of stopping. Armour Con is just the next step in their ongoing dream of making tabletop gaming more accessible for everyone.
Corey Mello
Some say he's seen the Space Marine movie 1,780 times, and that whenever he removes his helmet, a Karen somewhere has her day ruined. No matter what you believe, it is known that he walked into The Armoury one day on a whim and somehow ended up in Daniel and Ami's Wedding Party not terribly long after.
Corey's been playing pen and paper RPGs since middle school, but has been helping pay The Armoury's rent with his crippling plastic addiction since 2015. Outside of gaming, he's an IT Coordinator in Special Education. He's the right hand man to Daniel and Ami for the convention, and can often be found coordinating events behind the scenes and making sure everyone has a badge. He also made this website!
Armour Con 2019 took a lot to put together. It took time, effort, stress, and collaboration on the part of many people. It also took a lot of money. For the first year of the convention, we put out the offer to a select few: show your faith in our dream, and be immortalized in return. These are the people who answered the call, and for that, we will be forever thankful.

The Armoury Wargames & Hobbies
Opened in 2015 in the scariest back-alley mill you could imagine, The Armoury made its mark on the South Coast of Massachusetts because the interior was way more cool than the exterior. Coming onto the scene while Warmachine-Hordes was burning hot, it specializes in miniature wargaming, collectible card games, and pen-and-paper roleplaying games. Daniel and Ami brought their perspective of the hobby – embracing all aspects, painting and rolling dice alike – to the store and built a strong community around its unique feel and friendly atmosphere.
The store outgrew its roots by 2018, and moved to a less terrifying spot in Fairhaven just off the highway. With the tailwind of a renewed Warhammer alongside the ever-popular Dungeons and Dragons, the store has flourished and now hosts a great variety of systems on a weekly basis, including Star Wars Legion, Malifaux, A Song of Ice and Fire, and more.
While the future is forever uncertain, The Armoury strives to grow, both in community and physical size, to further the mission of its owners: to expand the hobby and introduce more people to tabletop games each and every day.
Handsome Dan's Rescue
The Armoury Wargames & Hobbies and Armour Con are proud supporters of Handsome Dan's Rescue; in fact, that's how all this got started. Their collaboration began with an annual fundraiser, bringing hobbyists of all stripes together for a good cause with the games they loved. Through these fundraisers, and now events with Armour Con, we have been able to support Handsome Dan's mission with close to $10,000 in donations over the years.

Book Beginning: The Book of Dirt by Bram Presser
In the region of T, not far from the city of U, there once stood a village that had been in Poland, then Hungary, then Subcarpathian Ruthenia, then Czechoslovakia, then Slovakia, then Hungary again, then Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, then the Ukraine and now cannot be found on any map.
-- The Book of Dirt by Bram Presser. Presser weaves family history with fiction, historic photos and documents to recreate his grandparents' Holocaust story.

Author Interview: Beth Benedix
Beth Benedix is the author of Ghost Writer: A Story About Telling a Holocaust Story. While she was ghostwriting a memoir for a holocaust survivor, he urged Beth to write her own story about what it was like to confront the challenge of telling someone else's history when it "swelled beyond its own boundaries."
Beth recently answered questions for Rose City Reader. Find out more about the author of Ghost Writer and get to know the woman behind the book.
Before we get to your book, Ghost Writer, can you introduce us briefly to Joe Koenig?
Yes, of course. Joe is such a remarkable man, and I just hope I've been able to do him justice in the book. His story of survival during the Holocaust is itself extraordinary—by the time he was seventeen, he had lost his entire family, been imprisoned in four camps (including a work camp that he snuck into, intuiting that he would be safer inside than alone in the rural outskirts of Czestochowa, Poland), and survived two death marches. To me, it's the way he lives in the midst of this story, the way he lives without dwelling, that I find so breathtaking. In the book, I describe him as the epitome of swagger—which, to me, is the quality of creating your own boundaries, setting your own course, defining the world in your own terms. Joe's intuition is everything—he moves in the space of his own boundaries—somehow always knowing what next step to take. I find the way he approaches his life to be so… healthy, so affirmative. For him, it's all about family and love. Throughout the writing of the book, I couldn't shake the feeling that the best way to describe him was as a philosopher, in that he seemed to be describing a way of being and moving through the world. But his philosophy is the most embodied, authentic and down-to-earth I've ever seen, and I came away holding him up as a model of yes-saying. It's a way of being in the world that I would very much like to emulate.
How did ghostwriting Koenig's memoir lead to writing your book, Ghost Writer: A Story About Telling a Holocaust Story?
Well, technically, I never really did ghostwrite Joe's memoir. I tried to do this—in the form of a third person narrative of his story of survival (included in the book), which I provided to Joe's family. But even the original third person narrative had elements of my first-person attempts to nail down the story, to frame and contextualize the narrative I was hearing. I don't actually consider myself a ghostwriter, in that I knew from the beginning that whatever form the book would eventually take needed to be a departure from standard ghostwritten accounts. The title is a nod to that departure... in separating the two terms (ghost and writer), the emphasis is on all of the "ghosts" that loom over the telling of the story, that intrude into this narrative that resists closure.
Who is your intended audience and what do you hope your readers will gain from your book?
I'm very much hoping to start a conversation with as diverse an audience as possible about what it means to tell another person's story—about the obligations and limitations of memory and the ways in which telling our stories, and listening to the stories of others, brings us together. I wrote this book, specifically, because I feel there is an urgency to collect Holocaust survivors' stories before there are no longer survivors left to tell them. But I also feel, generally, that there is an urgency to change the way we tell these stories—and all stories of survival and memory. I very much wanted to disrupt the monological strain, the one-directional mode, that so often dominates survivor testimony. It's the dialogue, the back-and-forth, the moments of encounter and recognition that most authentically preserve and pass on memory, I've come to find.
I see my audience as people who are interested in Holocaust narratives and history, and, more broadly, as people who are interested in process-driven narrative non-fiction. I hope readers will come away feeling like they have met a remarkable man, and considering the possibility that memory-collecting is a raw, unscripted and sometimes messy affair.
Do you have recommendations for other books about the Holocaust or Holocaust survivors?
Elie Wiesel's Night and Primo Levi's Survival in Auschwitz are two memoirs that I find extremely powerful. In both cases, there is a stark beauty in the prose that conveys the immediacy of the horror they've experienced. I go back to Night again and again.
Nicole Krauss's novel, The History of Love, is one of the most beautiful books I have ever read. The relationship at the center of the book between a Holocaust survivor and a young girl in many, many ways influenced my sense that these stories told now must be about convergence, about paths crossing. This is how we remember, how we preserve memory.
Other books that deeply influenced my thinking are Henry Greenspan's On Listening to Holocaust Survivors and Peter Haas' Morality After Auschwitz: The Radical Challenge of the Nazi Ethic. John K. Roth's vast body of work has shaped my studies and approach, and is a must for anyone who is thinking about the philosophical and theological implications of the Holocaust.
Do you have recommendations for other books about writing and storytelling?
Oh, my goodness, there are so many! The ones that most heavily influenced my writing are self-conscious memoirs with narrators who are talking deliberately about process and second-guessing themselves along the way. My two biggest influences are Dave Eggers' A Heartbreaking Work of Staggering Genius and David Harris-Gershon's What do you Buy the Children of the Terrorist who Tried to Kill your Wife? Susanna Kaysen's Girl, Interrupted is also a favorite—I love the fragmented quality of her writing and the way she uses original documents to frame her story.
Mary Karr's The Art of Memoir and Stephen King's On Writing are two books on the craft of storytelling that speak the most to me.
What did you learn from writing your book – either about the subject of the book or the writing process – that most surprised you?
I don't think it's an exaggeration to say that writing this book was a life-changing experience for me. Everything feels different now, more applied, more high stake. I've learned from Joe (am trying to learn) the art of perspective, of recognizing what matters and what doesn't. About the writing process—I've learned that it really is a process. The book was nine years in the making, and in many ways I feel I'm still circling around the subject. It will never feel done to me, and I'm surprised to learn that I am completely okay with that lack of closure.
What is your work background? How did it lead you to writing this book?
I am a professor at DePauw University. My background is in comparative literature, with an emphasis on Modern Jewish writers, religious studies, and philosophy. Comp Lit is by nature an interdisciplinary field, one that doesn't fit neatly into any particular category, and it allows a great deal of freedom to explore connections and intersections among ideas and genres. It's kind of a marginal, liminal space, a space I feel really comfortable in. Looking back, I think this background—maybe my being drawn to Comp Lit in the first place—was key to my being able to conceive of Ghost Writer in the way that I did. It's an assumption of the field (and one that I very much share) that no single lens will ever capture the thing in front of you—it's about the constant shifting of lenses, the collecting of multiple perspectives, the perpetual circling around the subject. This is how I always imagined the book needed to take shape, with the process itself at the center of the story.
I also teach a good deal of writing in my classes, and work closely with all of my students to help them to find the arc of the stories they want to tell. I love these conversations, because they always begin with the questions that each student has about the material we're reading, the things each student finds most compelling and worth puzzling through, and each conversation always starts with my just sitting and listening closely to their narratives, collecting their thoughts, and helping them to identify patterns in their thinking. I think perhaps I really honed this approach through my relationship with Joe, through our interactions that involved listening more than anything. And in the process of these conversations with students, so, so many shapes and story arcs and approaches emerged. It has begun to make an embodied sense to me that writing is always an act of listening, shaping, and re-shaping. It has been a tremendous gift to learn from my students and to be able to share what I've learned from the process of writing this book with them.
What do you like to read? What books are on your nightstand right now?
I am a huge fan of Kafka, Nietzsche, Murakami, and all things dark and existential. Right now, I'm reading two wonderful collections of short stories, one by Lesley Nneka Arimah, What it Means When a Man Falls From the Sky, the other by Helen Oyeyemi, What is Not Yours is Not Yours.
My favorite books of all time are Lolita, The Stranger, Madame Bovary, and Dara Horn's The World to Come. The book on my nightstand (which has been there for a while) is my friend's copy of roscitrea-20Beezlebub's Tales to his Grandson (it's slow going but I very much want to get through it!).
What is the most valuable advice you've been given as an author?
My friend, Tom Chiarella, novelist, longtime writer for Esquire and freelance journalist once told me: "You can start any piece of writing with the word 'so'"—as in, "so, I'm sitting here with these interview questions trying to come up with perfectly-crafted answers…" It throws your audience immediately into the world you're trying to throw them into, establishes a kind of intimacy, and lets people know exactly where you're coming from. It's all about transparency, revealing your thought process. I don't know how many times this little gem saved me from the paralysis of the blank page, or how many times I shared it with my students to help them get started on their own projects.
What's next? What are you working on now?
Right now, I'm working on marketing this book and gaining an audience. It's a welcome transition, this crossing-over from academic writing to a general audience, and I'm very much hoping to have the opportunity to meet and talk with people and to hear what they think about Ghost Writer. I'm waiting for the next writing project to announce itself to me.
In the meantime, I'm busy being a mom, teaching, directing a nonprofit organization I founded called The Castle that brings integrated arts and project-based learning experiences into public schools in Putnam County, IN, and gigging as much as possible with my band, Black Market Vinyl. Joe taught me, among many other things, to grab every moment, which I'm trying to do.
THANKS, BETH!

Mailbox Monday: Philip Roth
What books came into your house last week? I filled in my Philip Roth TBR shelf with two of his books I haven't read yet.
Roth is one of my favorites and I plan to read all of his books, hits and misses. I've read 12 of 31 so far, according to the list I keep here on the blog (see Favorite Authors tab above or list in right column).
Reading Myself and Others, a collection of essays about reading and writing.
The Dying Animal, the last book in his David Kepesh trilogy. The trilogy starts with The Breast, which I haven't read and is generally panned. I read the second one a few months ago, The Professor of Desire, and thought it was great.
I know a lot of women don't like to read Philip Roth, or the other male writers of his generation. I do. I tend to prefer "mid-century" (20th) authors both sexes because I'm drawn to books with hefty plots, omniscient third-person narrators, and a minimum of experimentation. And I like to read books by male authors because I like men and want to understand them. They don't think the same way my women friends and I do!
Which authors do you love so much you want to read all their books? How do you keep track?
Favorite Author: Benjamin Black
Benjamin Black is the pen name of Irish author John Banville. Writing in his own name, Banville won the Booker Prize in 2005 for The Sea, which I loved, but I've only read one of his other novels and don't plan to undertake reading all of them any time soon.
The mysteries he writes as Benjamin Black, on the other hand, enchant me. In particular, his Quirke series puts me under a spell so I feel like I'm right there in 1950s Dublin. That may partly be due to the audiobook reading by actor Timothy Dalton who does such a superb job on the first three.
Banville's Benjamin Black books are below. In addition to the Quirke series, he has written two stand-alone mysteries and a Philip Marlowe novel. Those I have read are in red. Those on my TBR shelf are in blue.

Book Beginning: Valley of Genius by Adam Fisher

This is a fascinating book, even for someone like me who has no connection to the high tech world of Silicon Valley, other than my iPhone.
What Are They Reading? Rules of Civility by Amor Towles
Authors tend to be readers, so it is natural for them to create characters who like to read. It is always interesting to me to read what books the characters are reading in the books I read. Even if I can't say that ten times fast.
Usually, the characters' choice of books reflects the author's tastes or, I sometimes think, what the author was reading at the time. But sometimes the character's reading material is a clue to the character's personality, or is even a part of the story.
This is an occasional blog event. If anyone wants to join in, grab the button, put up a post, and leave leave a comment with a link to your post.
Katey Kontent, the narrator and heroine of Towles's debut novel, spends a lot of her free time reading and discussing books. Her favorite is Great Expectations by Charles Dickens, which she reads over and over. Katie is the daughter of Russian immigrants, grew up in New York City, and uses her smarts and wit to build a career and find her own place in high society. It is understandable that she would be drawn to Pip's complicated story of personal growth.
When Katey's personal life becomes most confusing, she develops a taste for Agatha Christie. By 1938, when most of the novel takes place, Christie had published 30 books, and two came out in 1938. In one of the best scenes in Towles's book, Katey settles in for Christmas Eve 1938 alone, with a 10-pound ham from her boss, a bottle of bourbon, and the newly-released Hercule Poirot's Christmas.
The title, Rules of Civility, comes from another book, George Washington's Rules of Civility (& Decent Behavior in Company and Conversation), a list of 110 maxims that Washington had written in his own handwriting as a school boy. Katey finds a well-thumbed copy of the George Washington book in protagonist Tinker Grey's apartment and later buy's a secondhand copy for herself. There is an appendix in the Towles book listing the 110 rules.
I loved Rules of Civility as much as I did Towles's second book, A Gentleman in Moscow. I can't wait to see what he writes next.

Mailbox Labor Day Monday: Transcendental Concord
My friend Kirsten Rian wrote the concluding essay in a new, hauntingly beautiful book of art photography documenting the Transcendentalists of Concord, Massachusetts. She surprised me the other day with a copy of this lovely new book.
Transcendental Concord, photography by Lisa McCarty, texts by Kirsten Rian and Rebecca Norris Webb, published by Radius Books.
PUBLISHER'S DESCRIPTION: Transcendental Concord documents the spirit of Transcendentalism, the literary and philosophical movement that arose in the mid-19th century. While the circle of Transcendentalists in New England was wide, at its center was a core group that lived in Concord, Massachusetts. Bronson Alcott and daughter Louisa May Alcott, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthorne, and Henry David Thoreau lived within a few miles of each other for nearly 20 years, regularly meeting in each other's homes and on the paths of Walden Woods to discuss their writings and beliefs. In the course of a year and in every season North-Carolina based photographer Lisa McCarty photographed the sites where these Transcendentalists lived and wrote in Concord. McCarty's parallel reverence for the natural world is evident in her photographs which point to large and small variations in environment, season and light. McCarty uses long exposures and camera movement in order to capture these variations. Transcendental Concord pays homage to Transcendentalism not only in capturing a shared landscape, but in McCarty's technique: her keen observation of natural phenomena and openness to experimentation and chance.

The photo features Chucky in a multi-colored rainbow sweater under denim overalls, similar to the look he had in the original Child's Play, released in 1988. This Chucky looks kinder, gentler, all the more likely to insinuate itself into your child's life as their friend to the end; and yet, there's that mischievous, nearly malevolent glint in those red eyes, perfectly matched by the glint coming off the blade of that enormous freaking butcher knife the doll's packing. Child's Play this summer, we're gonna have some fun.
Though some fans of the 1988 slasher balked at the sleek makeover that the demonic doll received for the upcoming remake, their enthusiasm was won back with the announcement that Mark Hamill was voicing Chucky.
The 34-year-old actress plays a well-meaning mother who buys her son Andy (Gabriel Bateman) a Buddi doll.
The cast also includes Brian Tyree Henry playing Detective Mike Norris and Tim Matheson playing Henry Kaslan, CEO of the company that makes the Buddi dolls. Though the Star Wars: The Last Jedi star is best known for playing a Tatooine farmboy, Hamill is one of the most talented voice actors working today, and has originated some of the most sinister roles on the small screen, including the Joker from Batman: The Animated Series. It's a real turning-the-page moment for the Child's Play franchise.
Dourif also returned for the 2013 straight-to-video sequel Curse of Chucky and 2017's Cult of Chucky. You can bet we'll be here to break it down for you, as well as any other Child's Play news that breaks between now and the film's release date of June 21.
On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex thanked everyone for all their well wishes and donations. And the latest post hints that baby Sussex may have already arrived.

He drove in the AAA Championship Car series in the 1949 and 1950 seasons with 4 starts, including the 1950 Indianapolis 500. He finished in the top ten once, in 6th position at Milwaukee in 1950.
In 1951, he moved to NASCAR, where he was a very successful Grand National driver through 1955.
In 1956, he returned to the USAC Championship Car series, racing in the 1956–1964 seasons with an additional 41 starts, including the Indianapolis 500 races in 1956 and 1958–1964. He finished in the top ten 21 more times, with his best finish in 2nd position in 1959 at Daytona.
Rathmann sat on the pole for the 1958 Indianapolis 500. On the first lap, he and fellow front-row starter Ed Elisian raced into turn 3 and started a chain-reaction accident which involved 15 cars and cost the life of Pat O'Connor. With that accident, Rathmann became the first Indy pole-sitter to complete no laps. This feat has been repeated only twice in Indy history, first by Roberto Guerrero and then by Scott Sharp.
Rathmann was the elder brother of 1960 Indianapolis 500 winner Jim Rathmann. The two switched names in 1946 so his younger brother could enter a race while underage. For what was supposed to be a short time, he adopted the name "Dick" and his brother adopted the name "Jim". The change stuck for life.
In 2009, Rathmann was inducted into the West Coast Stock Car Hall of Fame.[1]
