Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid Confirm Their Break-Up With Heartfelt Statements
It seems congratulations are due for Gigi Hadid and Zayn Malik. According to TMZ, the celebrity couple are expecting their first child.
Sources tell the outlet Hadid is in her second trimester, though it's unclear if they are expecting a boy or a girl. The couple has yet to confirm the big news, which arrives just days after Hadid celebrated her 25th birthday at her family's Pennsylvania farm. The supermodel posted a photo of her birthday balloons alongside Malik and her little sister, Bella, but did gave no indication about her reported pregnancy. The three have been spending time at the farm during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
"Gigi and Zayn are expecting their first child together and the couple is very excited!" a source told Entertainment Tonight. "Gigi has kept the secret close to her family and friends for a while as she's only a few months along. Once Gigi and Zayn got back together at the end of last year it was like they never skipped a beat and knew what they had was special. The couple and their families are overjoyed."
On Wednesday, TMZ added that it learned the baby will be a girl, citing "family sources." The site said Gigi's 25th birthday party, where over the weekend she reportedly had balloons with blue and pink ribbons, "might've been a gender reveal party all in one."
Hadid and Malik have had an on-again, off-again relationship since 2015. The couple announced their breakup in November 2018, but reportedly got back together sometime late last year. Hadid spoke about her desire to start a family in i-D magazine's "Icons and Idols" issue earlier this year.
"I think that as I get older ... well one day I'll start a family and I don't know if I will always be modeling," she said. "I love the creative side of fashion, it's so fulfilling. The people I work with make me so happy, I'm so lucky to be around them. But who knows? Maybe I'll take up full time cooking!"

Tottenham full-back Kieran Trippier has signed a new five-year contract at the club, extending his stay until 2022.
The 26-year-old England international joined Spurs from Burnley in 2015 and has seen his importance at the north London side grow over the last two seasons.
Trippier, who made his Three Lions debut against France in June, is likely to be manager Mauricio Pochettino's first-choice at right-back, with reported talks ongoing with Manchester City regarding the sale of Kyle Walker.
He made 22 appearances for Spurs across all competitions last season and contributed with seven assists.
The defender came through the youth ranks at Manchester City and had loan spells at Barnsley before the Clarets signed him in 2011.

SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT** – My new book:
Insights into Evolutionary Astrology, Llewellyn Worldwide,
is now available at Amazon.com (and other fine retailers)
http://www.amazon.com/Insights-into-Evolutionary-Astrology-Astrologers/dp/0738719862/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1279561796&sr=1-1
Monthly Overview:
Don't expect the intensity to subside anytime soon! July 11 delivers the second eclipse of the summer. It is a total solar eclipse (a new moon; the eclipse on June 26 was a full moon.) Eclipse visibility occurs over a narrower path than a partial eclipse which can be seen more widely. It will be viewable over much of the South Pacific region, including the southern tip of Argentina and Chile. Eclipses can be most effective where they occur, but they also will produce intensified effects in their corresponding geodetic regions, (something I neglected to mention in my last mail-out; please review my article on the lunar eclipse of June 26 in my website archives for added information.)
A special feature of the total solar eclipse on July 11 is that is one of a metonic sequence, which occurs on the same day (and therefore the sun and moon tenant the same astrological degree) at nineteen year intervals. When this happens, the sun and moon tenant the same astrological degree, which marks a highlight year when we see history-shaping events occur. Those whose birthdays fall on the eclipse are destined to experience significant personal life transitions, circumstances, and events. This month's eclipse ends the cycle that began July 11, 1991 and sets in play new (collective and personal) programming that will continue to unfold through July 11, 2029. (The Jan 14 solar eclipse was also one in a metonic chain.) Eclipses can produce on the date that they actually occur, but they are also carry influence over a length of time. Watch for happenings in the month preceding and following, and also watch for key thresholds over the next three to six months. July's solar eclipse agenda puts striking checkmark on mid October.
This time-is-ripe solar eclipse, (occurring at the south node), suggests a new chapter for something that is already in play. At 19 Cancer, it can be especially influential for those born on July 11, Oct 12, Jan 9, or April 9; (it can also produce significant impact if it makes a dynamic aspect to your personal chart.) Watch for something or someone of influence from your past (from this life or another lifetime) to resurface. Igniting the Cancer/Capricorn axis, family members and family dynamics are likely to take the main spotlight. (Transitions can occur.) The Cancer/Capricorn axis also puts the spotlight on security needs and measures, (private and personal; public, professional; social/political.) It is an important time of inner world and outer world restructuring. The eclipse can prompt an experiential review of old, outworn and limiting behaviours, and in so doing, brings an opportunity to release them.
Take note of this string of planetary occurrences: Saturn advances into Libra, July 21: the sun enters Leo on July 22, Jupiter turns retrograde on July 23 and forms a dynamic (square) aspect with Pluto on July 24 and again on Aug 3; a full moon in Aquarius occurs on July 25, and on July 26, Uranus (ruler of Aquarius) forms the last of 5 oppositions with Saturn, (but it is the first and only opposition to occur across the Aries/Libra axis.) Mars advances into Libra on July 29 and conjoins with Saturn on July 31. That is a lot of stellar activity over a short period! What does it all mean? It certainly suggests circumstances are about to come to a head. I will report back to you later in the month. In the meantime, be good to yourself and to others too.

Those born April 8-10 may feel the surge of energy from the new moon solar eclipse the strongest, but suffice to say it should create a significant effect for us all. A new moon ushers in a new cycle or beginning, but what occurs now has already been in the works. The thrust of this eclipse should provide the needed catalyst that will launch the next (perhaps long awaited) stage or plateau. In the sign of Cancer, this eclipse will pertain to family, ancestry, roots, home and holdings (physical/material, and emotional/behavioural.) This stoking-of-the-fire time also corresponds to the reshaping of your self image, (your inner and private self) and also reshapes how you function in the outer world out (your public self-image, career status, and responsibilities to others, personally, professionally, and socially.) A contract could be in the works, i.e. a new mortgage, personal business, or such, or you could find yourself immersed in a key karmic play-out. Whatever launches now can stick around for a length of time to come. (Keep an eye on middle of October and early January 2011 for your next breakthrough points.) Saturn's advance into Libra on July 21 puts you on yet another forward march of significance (social, professional, romantic, financial.) The time around the full moon June 25 could bring unexpected opportunity, but there may be plus and minus attached. Mars, your ruler, advances into July 29 and catches up with Saturn at the beginning of August. Expect to be pushing hard at month end.
The solar eclipse on July 11 puts a spotlight emphasis on key relationships and what you need from others. It could help you (or force you) to re-establish your footing or to fend for yourself in some significant way. Supportive relationship bonds, personal or professional, can grow more fruitful. Keep working to groom more contacts or to secure your client base. Who-ever shows up (or doesn't show up) can act as an important catalyst for you. Remember that today's launch-points/new beginnings are the key to the shaping of tomorrow's potentials. A new community development or event is worthy of your involvement or investment. It can be time to let your previous history or educational background work for you more, to call in a favour, grant one, or to seek additional hands on experience and training. Take clues from the past/from where you have been and build it up (and better) from here. The now constitutes an important bridge between your past and your future. On another note, vacation or quality time spent with family or extended family holds more benefit than you may see in the moment. Saturn's advance into Libra, along with the dynamic planetary set up from July 21 forward, suggests you will be put to task one way or another. You could make a complete 180 switch or about-face. Health matters, added job pressures (the job hunt too), and new learning curves can keep you especially busy. It is a time to get busy on your betterment and fixer-upper programs.
The fertile solar eclipse on July 11 could help you to discover new resources and resourcefulness. You could feel especially focused on safeguard measures and contingency plans (financial, emotional, situational.) This eclipse could also unearth a well of emotions, sensitivities, or needs (perhaps you didn't realize all that was bottled up in side you.) Saturn's advance into Libra (July 21) is in harmony with your sign, so progressively, you should feel that your ambitions are shaping up and that you are gaining better control where it counts the most. Of course, first there is Mars in Virgo (to July 29) to contend with; this planetary influence can keep you busy plugging the leaks in your life, or simply keep you on the go with family or home related matters. The stars reach critical mass turning points July 21 through end of the month and you are likely to do the same. As Jupiter turns retrograde (and squares Pluto) your attention or course can shift significantly and perhaps unexpectedly. This aspect could reveal some added factor or requirement, or a gap that needs to be refilled. (A plug could get pulled unexpectedly.) It may also calls for you to confront your excuse making and to get more determined in the search for more workable alternatives. June 24 to Aug 3 delivers a completion, wind-down or pause-for-review cycle.
If your birthday falls on or near July 11, you are in for a notable year, one that can catapult your life in a dynamic new direction. Of course we are all under exceptional stars now, so at some level we are all feeling that sense of standing on an important precipice. Mercury in Leo is well aligned with opportunity planets Jupiter and Uranus, so you may find you can latch on to a more prosperous career path. Test the waters, take an educated risk, and try something you have always wanted to do, it could work very well for you. Entrepreneurial or creative enterprises are especially favoured. As the month advances (especially past July 23), added pressure or considerations can slow you down. Mars conjoined with Saturn is a time to sign a contract, to make a commitment, to tie off, sign off or finish off. Then again, you may feel you are backtracking rather than going forward, but don't let appearances get in the way. June 24 – Aug 3 will be a time to qualify, refine, or troubleshoot. The unexpected can be disconcerting, but know it's good to deal with it up front so it doesn't bog you down later. You may have to lay some things (or some relationships) to rest. It can be a matter of streamlining, hedging your best bets, or of giving up to get. Saturn's advance into Libra can help you to get more situated and settled, or it can make you feel squeezed. If the latter occurs, face reality for what it is and don't waste a minute of your time in regret. Show yourself some tough love, and do what must be done.
July's solar eclipse suggests there something quite potent brewing for you now. You may or may not know the fullness of your future just yet, but suffice to say (especially if your chart is aligned with this eclipse) that is some thing quite experientially rich. Mid October forward, could deliver more visibility/takes it to the next stage or plateau. Messenger Mercury in Leo is greatly energized (in trine to Jupiter/Uranus) by this eclipse, so it would seem there is exceptional opportunity coming your way, perhaps through an instrumental person. Right place, right time, act when the idea or impulse strikes! For the most part, it you should experience a positive growth cycle. The eclipse can be influential in the following areas: work, health, education, creative undertakings, spiritual development, relocation, publishing, legal matters, or public profiling (performance, exhibition, advertising & marketing, teaching, etc.). Through the summer, Jupiter and Uranus will favour Leos born July 23 – 27. With that said, for all, note that July 23 through the beginning of August the stars are in a compelling force-your-hand formation. This 10-ish day period delivers a key time of ripening, completion, commitment, now-or-never decisions, significant professional or personal undertakings and achievement. (The synchronistic and social full moon could deliver added excitement or opportunity.) Of course you may opt to by-pass it all, and simply cut-out for a well deserved vacation.
It is the right time to move in a new direction. The solar eclipse prompts you to reinvent yourself and your life in some major way. Friends, lovers, or loves can go, but you may not be in need for long. Look around; there is more for you out there. You should find plenty to stimulate you and to freshen up your life. Should you meet new people, educators, healers, or service users or providers, they can build an instrumental bridge for you. Network, scout, and groom your contacts, one thing can lead to another. Now can also be a time when your kids go off to do their own thing, (yeh, more freedom for you!) While Venus tenants Virgo (July 10 – Aug 6), make sure to be your own best fan and lover. It is an appropriate time to enhance your appearance or public profile, and to tackle those good-for-you must-do's, but also make sure a healthy dose of pleasure and self-gratification is included in mix. Mars in Virgo (to July 29) can find you seriously driven to moving yourself and your life into a faster forward. A quick fix (or swift cut/move) could do the trick. June 23 to July 31, Mars closing in on Saturn can bring you to an important end of the road threshold or deadline. It can be a time of weighty decisions or undertakings. Face reality. You will not be able to sustain or perpetuate that which has already become stale, futile, too small, crammed, restrictive or punitive. On the other hand, if you have been on-track all along, then end of the month should see you pull into the right station, and on time.
LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22)
The solar eclipse July 11, (especially influential for those born Oct 12/13) can find your time consumed with important professional or personal matters, such as a contract, mortgage, banking, legal documents or judgements, government regulations. You may also be consumed with the need to gain better support and acknowledgement from the system, your family, or your social network. It can be encouraging to see authority figures or mentors act like caring parents. Then again, you may feel burdened by playing the care-taker or support role. The requirements of the young or the old can put you under added emotional, material, or time strain. There may be a need to make yet another change. This eclipse brings a key time to redefine yourself and your boundaries, professionally and personally. While Mars and Saturn tour Virgo, you may background ambitions, worries, or nagging issues could wear on you. The best you can do is to chip away as things best you can. During Cancer month, be patient with the process, bide your time, and approach things in increments. A subtle or one-at-a-time approach can be more effective than the attack-it-all-at-once program. Slow mover Saturn will enter Libra on July 21 (to stay for the next two and half years) and quick mover Mars follows on July 29 (to Sept 14). Vacationing, getaway time, backing off for a wait-and-see, or putting it on hold altogether, can be appropriate while these two travel so close (July 23 – Aug1). Then again, it can be time to clear your clutter and get it out of the way so you can move into your next bests with a clean slate or clear timetable. Watch the full moon July 25, and the Saturn/Uranus opposition on July 26 to provide an opening, a fresh perspective or an event of note.
Travel, vacation time, honeymooning, long distance reconnections, and future planning can top on your agenda thanks to this month's solar eclipse. Education, legal matters, publishing, media and marketing are also worthy of your attention. In the midst of an adoption or relocation process? Congrats! Things are likely to speed along now. The solar eclipse also offers a vibrant new thrust to those of you in pursuit of a higher public profile and also favors those of you who already perform for living. It is an especially fortuitous time to hunt for added support (for your business or for your heart) and to groom future prospects and potentials. Still, you may find toward the end of the month that others are too busy or that they have put their dollars elsewhere and are not so readily available for you. July 23 – July 31 could bring a wind-down, cut-off point, deadline, or finish line. The turn-on-a-dime full moon July 25, followed by the Saturn/Uranus opposition on July 26 could bring a breakthrough of significance, or an unexpected opportunity, (it may be initially disruptive); it may be one that you may decide you can't afford to miss out on. While caution is advised with all impulsive moves, overall, if you know what you are getting into (in other words try to look before you leap), it may be very worthwhile. Still, even though the initial result or first hoop shot is good, know that there is still more to work through ahead.
SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21)
When you are a happy camper, everybody knows it. Of course, the reverse is true too. With Mars and Saturn in Virgo for the month, you can find yourself with less interest or patience, especially with requirements, responsibilities, rules, or schedules, but if/when you put nose to the grindstone, you are likely to get much more than the usual accomplished. Of course, if there is a new venture to plug into, or you have something to tackle that you feel is worthy of your added effort and time, then it is a whole different matter. You'll take it on with gusto. Venus in Virgo (July 10 –Aug 6) suggests you will be happy with yourself when you pay attention to the details and stay on top of what you are supposed to. Stay regimented with health matters and budgets too. The solar eclipse on July 11 could set a new tone for financial matters or intimate relationships. This can be a significant rebirth time for your soul's journey too. The full moon July 25 could light a special fire. Watch for a special celebration, travel, an opportunity to perform, an exceptional event, a social gathering, news, etc. The Saturn/Uranus opposition on July 26 can remove a block (perhaps one you didn't realize was holding you up) and paves an important new direction.
CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
The stars keep you especially active now. Ambition is best set toward getting the most out of your moments and to making your recreation time and travels as best (and as well organized) they can be. The solar eclipse on July 11 puts the focus on partnerships and your social life. Your significant other could have a lot going on, which can have significant effects or consequences on you too. The eclipse could deliver a momentous meeting or exchange, someone or something of significance could arrive or take an exit. Those born Jan 8 – 10 can feel the catapulting influence of the solar eclipse the strongest. July 23 through the beginning of August could put life through the paces, and/or see you move through a lot in a short period of time. Saturn's advance into Libra (July 21 through Oct 2012) puts a more serious spin on professional and banking matters, material goals, responsibilities, obligations, commitments, and boundary issues. It can be time for you to call the shots more and/or to step into a more authoritative position. Professional partnerships, business mergers, and sharing of (domestic or business) responsibilities take priority attention too light too. Whatever you set up for yourself now will sustain you for some time to come. Stay ambitious! The Saturn/Uranus opposition (and the full moon) may get things off the ground faster than you expect.
AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
The stars will put you to work this month, most likely in more ways than one! The solar eclipse July 11 suggests you'll need to put more attention to caretaking, stage-setting, and fixer-up plans. A new daily routine or schedule could be the ticket. Whether or not you have a particular need (and you probably do), it is a key time to strive toward better work, study, and health habits. Mars in Virgo, to July 29, can call greater attention to shortfalls and dissatisfactions – at work, with yourself, and re intimate relationships. The financial stretch can get to you too. If a job or safeguard measure doesn't work out for you, know that destiny has something better in store. Note the eclipse could also bring more responsibility in the way of pets. You may have added issues or concerns re looking after them, or perhaps you'll bring a new member into your family. (Isn't amazing how our animals pick us?) The advance of Saturn into Libra (July 21) should come as welcome news for your sign, helping you to manifest more of what you want, and to gain stability and control where you crave it the most. Mars enters Libra on July 29 and meets up with Saturn on July 31 to end the month on a striking note. The full moon in Aquarius (July 25) is sandwiched among a batch of other major planetary aspects. (Of particular note for your sign, the last of the Saturn/Uranus oppositions.) Watch for something (or someone) of significance to come into fuller view. July 21 forward can produce an exceptional window of opportunity, perhaps for travel, relocation, a product or project launch, or new relationship chapter. Sudden and sweeping change is quite possible; your life could take a radical departure from where it has been.
PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20)
The solar eclipse could signal something exceptional is about to come your way in the area of speculative ventures, creative actualization (personal/professional), romance, or recreational pursuits. It is a special time for children too – having them, caring for them, or watching them through their glory moments. Whatever shapes up now can set your life-path on an all-together new course. Those born Mar 8 – 10 can gain the most from this opportunity eclipse. Fresh-start planets Jupiter and Uranus in Aries are poised to help you shatter through previous barriers and can move you out of a stalemate or hold-up cycle (emotional, material, physical.) The time is ripe to experiment, to explore beyond your usual, to take new risks, to seek new avenues and adventures. It is a lucrative time to make new inroads with others too. New talents, capacities, tools, and financial avenues can emerge. While things can get cooking in the first half of the month, know that the bunch up of stars July 22 through the full moon July 25 and to the end of the month could alter your course, perhaps unexpectedly so. If things don't go as expected, recognize there is always another way and that better opportunity lies ahead.

Question: I think I have toenail fungus, but it's only on my big toe and little toe. Why is this?
Answer: Great question! It has to do with tight-fitting shoes and repeated "mini-traumas" to your nail plate. As you step, your toes repetitively hit the end of your shoes gradually separating the nail plate from the nail bed. This allows fungus to creep into the nail bed and start growing. We see fungal nail growth more frequently in a patient's big and little toes because these toes get the most pressure from the sides of tight-fitting shoes and thus they experience mini-traumas more often than the other toes.

I woke up even earlier this morning, at 05:30. I puttered around a bit, checking email and news and so on, before heading out at about 06:30 to find some breakfast. I planned to go to the same Sunkus convenience store in the Queen's Square again, but when I walked over there the plaza building was locked. Coming back over the footbridge, I saw a promisingly illuminated store on the ground floor of the main Pacifico Yokohama convention centre building. I went to investigate and found it to be another convenience store, but it too was closed, with a sign saying it opened at 07:00.
Dawn over Yokohama Harbour, from my hotel room window.
So I went for a bit of a walk, around the hotel to the waterfront and along there a bit. The weather was bitingly cold, but there were the odd walker or two, with a dog, and a jogger. I didn't dawdle, but instead sought shelter from the cold back inside the hotel lobby for ten minutes or so until the convenience store opened. Then I dashed across, bought a couple of prepacked rice snacks, a fresh hot croissant, and a tub of blueberry yoghurt, which I took back to my room to eat for breakfast.

It hurts to see Slovakia mocked in the international press. All the more so when we deserve it.
This time, it was a sign carried during Saturday's protest against migrants in Bratislava. It reduced all of PM Fico's malarkey about ensuring Slovakia's security, protecting her traditions and preserving her ethnic purity to two mean-spirited words: Go Home. A photograph of the sign accompanied several widely-read reports on Central Europe's stunningly uncharitable response to the ongoing refugee crisis.
It's rare, in disputes as fraught as this one, that one side's arguments can be summed up so neatly, and in words that so demean the very position they are meant to defend. For starters, for their utter impropriety coming from Slovaks, a nation whose tradition of both economic emigration and asylum seeking is one of its longest, if not, these days, its most celebrated chez Fico.
Second, for the utter ignorance these words betray of the modern world. Go Home indeed. If Slovakia really hopes to sway decisions on refugees taken in Brussels, it must present compelling arguments as to why the newcomers should be rejected, while at the same time showing genuine compassion for their misery and hardship. Go Home signs belong to the same mental cesspool as Hungarian TV employees kicking and tripping migrants. They are the private citizen's version of razor wire and border walls. They may get you on TV – but they also tend to inflame passions against your cause. Such as Austrian Chancellor Werner Faymann, who objected to Hungary's having lured migrants onto a train September 3 with false promises of taking them to Vienna. "Sticking refugees in trains and sending them somewhere completely different from where they think they're going reminds us of the darkest chapter in our continent's history," he said.
When European leaders invoke the continent's Nazi past to criticize a member nation; when they suggest new EU members could lose transfer funds if they continue to reject resettlement quotas; when even the Pope calls on European Catholics to open their hearts and homes to refugees; then only a fool or a bigot could flourish a Go Home sign, or encode its message into a political speech. Europe is changing even as we watch thousands of refugees arriving daily in Röszke, and even more inspiring than the hundreds of ordinary people who are donating time and money to helping them, is the resolve of the migrants themselves not to be deterred by walls, threats or hostility.
If tens of thousands of people had not demonstrated in other capitals in support of the refugees, that Go Home sign might have seemed ominous, portentous. Instead it just seems pathetically out of step with who we really are.


Where is the closest shade to Section 123 at Petco Park?
We'd like to see the Dodger game on Sept 6, but need to be in the shade. We have friends in Section 123. Where is the nearest seats in the shade?
You can find good shade in nearby Sections 117, 119, and 121 for a mid day (1:10) start in September, just be sure to avoid the Field Reserved portion of the section (Rows 25 and lower), and opt for the higher seating rows in the Field Pavilion portion of the section (Rows 27 and higher) . As the day progresses though, the sun will move further back in the section and there will be little shade left as the sun begins to move further to the west. The last two rows in Sections 117, 119 and 121 (Rows 43-44) will be your best options for staying in the shade for most of the game when sitting near Section 123.
If the shade end up being a more important factor in your decision than being close to your friends, we recommend opting for seats on the third base side where the shade will only get better as the day grows older. Rows 36 and higher in even numbered Sections 114-120 will have very good shade throughout the day and are a good option for staying out of the sun.


One woman has a novel idea for closing the pay gap between men and women: Make it easier for people to take some time off without the world ending.
If companies make it easier for workers to share information and skills, then those workers will be able to seamlessly sub for colleagues who need maternity leave or to skip out early for a dance recital, suggests Harvard economist Claudia Goldin. That could address one of the main causes of women getting paid less than men over the long run.


For this piece of tech, Mike and Pat are joined by Summit Racing's KB Racing driver, Jason Line, to talk about air and fuel delivery on everything from street machines to the fastest naturally-aspirated race cars he drives down the track.
Carburetors have come a long way. You can now buy street carburetors with C&C billet metering blocks all the way up through full-on race dominators. And that technology transfers down to parts you buy from Summit for your own vehicles.
Ten years ago you would have to buy a box carburetor and have to send it out to get it to perform right. But the companies that manufacture them have become better at getting creating a calibration that is correct right out of the box. It's also easier to make power with bolt on parts than it has been in the past.

The Ruins (1986-2006)
The Ruins began with a sound track, written by Matuschka in 1986, and illustrated with photos the artist took of herself in abandoned buildings wearing or posing with a variety of plaster casts. In 2006 Matuschka stumbled upon an abandoned castle in Lenox Mass. Shot by Thomas Halaczinsky, this decaying 'fortress' is used as a backdrop to showcase a wide range of artwork created by Matuschka in the 20th century. Some of the footage included in this piece was shot by the Dutch documentary film maker, Paul Cohen, for his 1992 film entitled "Part-Time God" which opened at the Dutch Film Festival that year.
"The dreamlike world in Matuschka's work is an exploration of flesh and steel, of the supple and mysterious container of the feminine torso against the cold sharpness of broken glass and peeling paint. All is in Ruin. The passion of life has degenerated and has been abandoned like an empty apartment with the wind passing through a broken window."

The Chelsea Hotel (1977)
This is a rare piece of footage documenting the work of four individuals who came together at the Chelsea Hotel one summer evening in 1977 as the punk rock era was underway and Johnny Thunders was rocking it out with the New York Dolls.
The NY underground videographer at that time, Anton Perich, had just launched his cable TV series entitled "Fashion" and what better way to kick off the fall season than to have Charles James, not only the greatest American couturier, but the world's best dressmaker showcase some of his most famous gowns on model Matuschka.
Featuring an interview by the precocious publicist, society columnist and New York's favorite social mountaineer, R.Courie Hay--this footage documenting Charles James and his classic designs is both comical and illuminating. It reveals a time in NY that had become a beacon of optimism, experimentation, and dynamite stick of liberty for many artists, entrepreneurs and hipsters thriving during that time. The still photos in this clip, taken by a variety of photographers, including Jeff Dunnas and Anton Perich, capture a bit of Matuschka's modeling career while she moonlighted at night as a video assistant, interviewer and editor.
John Chamberlain at the Dakota (1976)
The late 20th Century with its blooming pop culture has produced a few iconic figures--many in New York--who have shaped our perception of this time and who have captured our imagination ever since. Avant-garde Artists, Musicians, Underground Filmmakers Models and Actors, who appeared quite often literally out of nowhere, came to blossom, had their 15 minutes of fame - and vanished.
Matuschka, along with film maker Anton Perich is one of these archetypical characters who against all odds is still around. A wildly beautiful model in her heydays, Matuschka attracted the attention of artists like Salvatore Dali, Anton Perich and John Chamberlain, while living the life of a jet setting model between New York--Paris, London and Milan.
In this segment, the great sculptor John Chamberlain makes a couch/sculpture for artist John Hersey at the Dakota Apartment Building in 1976. This long unedited clip by Anton Perich documents Chamberlain's creation while Matuschka and many others observe--or in Matuschka's case--takes a stab at the Styrofoam and helps with the carving.
News Reel
In 1993 Matuschka made worldwide headlines when her self-portrait entitled "Beauty out of Damage" was published on the cover of the Sunday New York Times Magazine. This photograph generated 12 awards (including a Pulitzer Prize Nomination) and subsequently The New York Times received an unusually high amount of letters to the editor, ranking it as one of the most controversial covers in its history. News coverage on TV was extensive and this you tube represents a cross section of programs both the artist, and photograph were profiled on.
By the mid nineties "Beauty Out of Damage" became one of the most published pictures in the world appearing in hundreds of international publications, books, TV shows and documentaries internationally. Ten years after "Beauty Out of Damage"s debut, the image is still in demand, often published in scholarly and academic journals related to sociological issues on health, medicine, beauty and body image. In 2003 LIFE Magazine include this photo in a special edition entitled "100 Pictures That Changed the World."
Most recently in November 2008 Inside Edition featured this picture to accompany a segment about Christina Applegate, an actress who underwent a double mastectomy in 2008.

What is the Mnemonic for the Elbow Ossification Centers?
Posted on January 30, 2012 by Pediatric Education
A 12-year-old male came to clinic with a 5 day history where he had been playing around with his brother and fell on his arm. He is unclear of the exact position, but says that it was away from his body and slightly behind. He did not hear or feel a "popping" sensation, but had pain right away. There was mild pain and swelling of the elbow, but in the past day the swelling has increased along with bruising of the area. The past medical history is non-contributory.
The pertinent physical exam shows a healthy male with normal growth parameters and is Tanner II. His left elbow has marked generalized swelling and bruising especially posterior and distal to the elbow. He can extend the elbow to approximately 110 degrees. Forearm supination and pronation do not appear to be specifically affected. Distal pulses, wrist and hand movements are intact. The radiologic evaluation of a plain AP and lateral radiolograph showed an anterior fat pad sign due to hemarthosis without a specific fracture identified. All ossification centers were ossified. Contralateral views were ordered and again no specific fractures when compared were seen. The diagnosis of an elbow injury with hemarthosis was made. The patient was seen by the orthopaedic service and placed into a sling for one week of immobilization. At that time he had decreased swelling and the repeat films showed no fracture but with decreased range of motion because of pain. He was referred to physical therapy for range of motion exercises and was to followup in 3 weeks.
Figure 94 – AP and lateral radiographs of the left elbow show elevation of the anterior fat pad, indicating the presence of a hemarthrosis. No definite fracture is identified.
Injuries to the pediatric elbow are difficult to diagnose because of the anatomy and normal growth and ossification of the elbow.
Swelling, tenderness, ecchymosis, with or without deformity are common signs of fracture. Physical examination should include a careful neurovascular examination for distal pulses and capillary refill, paresthesias, increased pain with movement distal to the elbow or paralysis of the hand muscles as any of these may indicate compartment syndrome.
Common radiographs obtained are AP and lateral plain radiographs. Oblique films and comparison films of the contralateral elbow are also often needed to distinguish between a fracture and normal growth plate. The alignment of the anterior humerus line and the fat pads should be reviewed as misalignment may indicate occult fracture. Subtle fractures such as torus and nondisplaced fractures can be very difficult to determine. An effusion may or may not indicate a fracture.
Treatment for many fractures includes immobilization and casting for minimally displaced fractures. All non-minimally displaced fractures require urgent orthopaedic referral, and may require open reduction and/or fixation. Close orthopaedic follow-up is recommended for almost all elbow fractures.
Supracondylar fractures are 50% of elbow fractures and are usually caused by a fall on an outstretched arm. Posterior displacement of the distal fracture piece or posterior angulation usually occur but can be subtle. Complications can include range of motion and neurovascular problems.
Lateral condylar fractures are caused by a fall on an extended and abducted arm. They are Salter-Harris IV fractures because they involve an articulating surface, and therefore may have poorer outcomes. Treatment includes immobilization and casting, but may require surgical pinning with increased displacement of the fracture.
Medial epicondylar fractures usually occur with falls on an outstretchened arm or an extended and abducted elbow.
Distal humerus physeal fractures usually occur in young children and may be caused by child maltreatment. Posterior displacement of the radius and ulna relative to the humerus is a common finding.
Olecranon fractures that are isolated are uncommon. They usually occur with other elbow injuries especially dislocation or fracture of the radial head. Difficulties with elbow extension and hemarthosis is common, but visualization of the fracture may be difficult with only fat pad abnormalities seen.
Radial head and neck fractures occur with a fall on a supinated outstretch arm. These are usually Salter-Harris I and II or pure metaphyseal fractures. Like olecranon fractures they are often associated with other fractures.
Elbow dislocations are uncommon but are the most common joint dislocated in children and adolescents. It occurs by a fall on a supinated forearm with an extended or partially flexed arm (i.e. backward fall). The radius and ulna are usually laterally and posteriorly displaced. Neurovascular problems can be associated and need prompt treatment and close followup.
Radial head subluxation or nursemaid's elbow is the most common problem involving the elbow. It usually occurs when a pronated and extended arm has axial traction applied. Early reduction can decrease the pain and anxiety of the patient and family. For more information please review What Methods Can Be Used to Reduce Radial Head Subluxation?.
CRMTOL is a commonly used mnemonic used to describe the usual order of appearance of the elbow ossification centers. The average age when they are seen is also given below.
Capitellum – 3 months
Radial head – 4.5 years
Medial epicondyle – 5 years
Trochlea – 8 years
Olecranon – 9 years
Lateral epicondyle – 10 years

Moving Apostrophe. The apostrophe in Bluejackets has moved at various times. The latest edition is The Bluejacket's Manual.
Edition Numbers. Early Bluejackets' Manual (BJM) edition numbers present a problem. The 1903 edition clearly states 2nd edition. The 1907, 1908, 1910, 1911, two different 1913 versions, and the 1914 version do not state an edition number on the cover or on the title page. Not until the 1915 BJM does Third Edition boldly appears on the cover. Yet, in the preface remarks of the 1908 BJM one finds the 1905 BJM referenced as the THIRD EDITION and the 1908 BJM referenced as the FIFTH EDITION. It appears that these early "editions" are actually revisions, a point made when the revised 1915 BJM is officially titled Third Edition.
Publisher. The United States Naval Institute, Annapolis, Maryland, holds the copyright on The Bluejacket's Manual. USNI, under the name Naval Institute Press, published the BJM from 1902 through 1913. From 1914 through 1937 various publishers are licensed to print the manual. USNI resumes as sole publisher with the 1938 8th edition.
Printings. Reprint numbers and/or the dates are shown as they are verified. The USNI provides a list of reprints of the BJM. Unfortunately, their list does not include all the reprints. Numerous BJM's viewed show reprint data not found in the USNI list. Check your edition, and reprint number. If it is not on the table please send a note to help fill in the blanks and confirm the total number of reprints per edition. If your BJM does not have a reprint number you can assume it is a first edition as first editions are not otherwise identified.
USNA and Naval Militia Editions have been found in the 1914 and 1927 BJM. These appear as an overprint on the title page and some reported as overprint on the front fly leaf. The Weenick Collection shows an example of the 1914 Naval Militia with an overprint on the title page.
*Used BJM Value. The used value of specific edition BJM's depends heavily on book condition and the number printed. The price shown assumes a very good condition book with higher values for excellent items and lower value for good to fair books. A very good condition book has the covers fully intact, a solid binding, reasonably clean exterior, no loose, torn or missing pages, no markings other than a previous owners name and perhaps military details inside the front or rear cover. Value drops dramatically with loose bindings and/or pages and with marking to text. World War I and World War II era BJM's were printed in large quantities and a steady supply is available. A first printing of each edition will generally be more desirable. However, there are BJM collectors who not only seek one of every edition, but all printings of each edition.
A crisp hand salute to BJM collectors for their contributions with special mention of the master collectors to whom this page is greatly indebted, CWO2 "Bosun" Tom Dorsher USN (Ret), CDR Robert A. Weenink USNR (Ret), CNOCMC Anthony Judy USN and HMCS David Lewis, USN (Ret).

Visit Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple to see the role that religion plays in the daily lives of Singapore's Chinese Buddhists.
One of the most important temples in Singapore, Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho is dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy Kwan Im and people come here to pray for good luck and having their fortune told. While any day is a busy day here, on the eve of Lunar New Year, the temple is open all night and thousands of devotees descend, incense sticks in hand, hoping for an auspicious start to the year.
About as close as you can get with a camera.
There has been a temple here since 1884, though the current building is more recent, with it undergoing a substantial expansion in size in the 1980s to be able to accommodate larger numbers of worshippers. Despite heavy bombing of the areas by the Japanese in World War II, the temple was left largely unscathed and served as a refuge for wounded and homeless people. Devotees put this down to an intervention by Kwan Im.
Approaching via the pedestrianised section of Waterloo Road, it can be quite a hectic scene with vendors selling flowers and incense or offering to read your palm and reveal your fortune, though spare a thought for what the scene must have been like before this section of Waterloo Street was turned over to pedestrians only.
If you'd prefer not to have your fortune told street side, you can have your fortune told within the temple. Shake one of the canisters of divining sticks until one falls and its number corresponds to a printed fortune — just be sure no put aside and thoughts of a personal path before you do! You'll hear the chat chatting of the divining sticks from well outside the temple.
Photography is not permitted at all within Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple, but is allowed out front and with the flower and incense sellers it still holds significant photographic appeal. Admission is free.
Just down the road from here you'll find the important Sri Krishnan Temple for Hindu devotees, which is also definitely worth a visit. As the crow flies the closest SMRT to here is Bugis, but Bras Basah is a straight walk down Waterloo Street and walking that way will take you past Singapore Art Museum.

A selection of our favourite looks from week one!
Coachella has officially slayed their first weekend! With every celebrity and influencer under the palm springs sun Instagramming their outfits, hairstyles and culinary delights! As always, the Boho vibe has been through the roof this year, braided hair, flower crowns and some very special editions of some Neon hair (thanks to the queen of weave, Kylie Jenner) have not been at a lack.
We have put together a selection of our favourite looks from Coachella week one, which will no doubt inspire you for any festival you may attend this summer!
It would be a massive dis-service to kick off this blog talking about ANYTHING other than the epic reunion of Destiny's Child. Dressed in sequined Camo and delivering us all the sass, Beyonce and Kelly both sported some gorgeous, natural, tight curls whilst Michelle wore hers long and wavy.
Stunning as always Olivia Culpo delivers us some serious western vibes in this lace midi dress, fedora hat and bohemian accessories. The model finishes the outfit with her signature sleek locks tucked behind her ears, this look is festival perfection.
She's not a regular mum, she's a cool mum! With a highlighter pink wig, the new mum shows that she can still work a daring look!
Best friend GOALS! These two look flawless every day of the week. The duo showcases their signature natural tousled waves, and look absolutely fantastic in their Festival attire.
This beauty looks like the real-life Jane of the Jungle! Showing us all how you can rock a full fringe (without looking like Dora the Explorer), her wavy locks emphasise her festival bohemian style.
From last year's long pigtails to this year's short half-topknot, Vanessa proves she's still the QUEEN of Coachella.

Q: Which measure for inter-rater agreement for continuous data of 2 raters about multiple subjects in multiple situations? I've considered measures like Cohen's kappa (but data is continuous), intra class correlation (reliability, not agreement), standard correlation (will be high when one rater always rates consistently higher than the other rater)... but none seem to represent what I want it to.
I need a measure that will show % agreement between two raters, that have rated videos of multiple subjects in multiple situations and this in 8 different experiments.
So for example, for experiment 1 rater 1 rated 12 subjects in 3 situations and rater 2 did the same, for experiment 2 rater 1 rated 14 subjects in 4 situations and rater 2 did the same. And so on. Which measure would then be adequate to test how much the raters agree over all these 8 experiment? Or just per experiment, so that I can take calculate an average of the 8 values.
I'm sorry if this is an abundant question, but I've never been trained in these kind of statistics and I get completely lost searching the internet for an answer. I need to be sure that this measure is good for my data as I need to use it in my thesis.
Experiment 1, situation 1:
    Rater 1    Rater 2
Subj1 13         12

Subj2 85         71

Subj3 67         45
...   ...        ...

Experiment 1, situation 2:
    Rater 1    Rater 2
Subj1 76         90

Subj2 62         51

Subj3 51         51

Data looks like this with per experiment a number of subjects that are rated from 0 to 100 (= % freezing) in 3 (or 4) different situations by 2 raters (always the same raters). You can find an example excel file here (might be more clear): dropbox link
Thing is, if rater 1 says 76 and the other says 77, that's good, it's normal that it won't be perfectly the same value, but if it's close, it means that the raters kind of agreed. So continous data, the values go from 0 to 100 and are not categories or anything. If the value by the 2 raters is not exactly the same, that doesn't necessarily mean that there's no agreement: the more distant the values are from each other, means that we had less agreement, the closer they are, the more agreement the raters had.

A: If the categories are considered predefined (i.e. known before the experiment), you could probably use Cohen's Kappa or another chance-corrected agreement coefficient (e.g. Gwet's AC, Krippendorff's Alpha) and apply appropriate weights to account for partial agreement; see Gwet (2014). However, it seems like an ICC could be appropriate, too. I do not really understand what the "situations" are all about.

Elebaires Spanish Language School > Blog > Culture > Shop till you drop!
When I first arrived in Buenos Aires it was inevitable that some exploring was on the cards. Obviously, shopping is a fantastic way to explore a city and it quite fun too! The Argentinan style caught my eye so I set out in search of a couple of new items to disguise my european routes! As I strolled up and down the avenidas and calles I stumbled across patterns of shops. I started to notice themed groupings, streets with dozens of shops selling the same items. I thought it quite strange, but then on contemplation it made complete sense. After a little research I found out that this grouping was quite common and if you asked a porteño there was pretty much a street for anything you desired, very Harry Potter!!!
There are lots of trendy furniture shops dotted around Palermo and Recoleta however these tend to be pretty '"caro" (expensive). Avenida Belgrano is packed with every which furniture shop you could wish for and for a much fairer price than those in Palermo. You can find tonnes of furniture there from art décor to antique items, and the cheaper price doesn't necessarily mean you have to sacrifice the quality.
Music, in my opinion, is a pretty integeral part of the Latino culture, so it comes as no surprise that the Porteños dedicate rather a large street to the selling of instruments. Talcahuano is lined with shops where you can purchase almost anything in terms of musical needs.
Villa Crespo is home to the leather district of Buenos Aires. The quality is known to be good and sold at a fair price. If your looking for a leather jacket or a Argentine polo belt this is the place to go and it is only a short distance from Palermo.
This street specialises in jewellery, and has many places to buy and sell silver and gold. Precious stones, rings necklaces; this place is an Aladdin's cave of beautiful items. Be sure to have a good look around before purchasing to find the best bargain.
If your looking for something in particular, then ask a local as the chances are there is a whole street dedicated to it! Calles por rubros (items by street), although this seems slightly curious it actually seems to work with perfect effect. Make sure you have plenty of time to shop as it is very easy to spend hours browsing, enjoy!

Richard Jeng Named King of Bridge
The ACBL Educational Foundation has selected Richard Jeng of the Atlanta area as the 2017 King of Bridge. The annual award recognizes a graduating high school senior for their playing record and overall participation in the bridge community.
At 18, Jeng already possesses an impressive collection of titles, especially from Youth events. Richard plays exclusively with his older brother, Andrew, and the duo posted their earliest wins in the Georgia Youth Pairs and Teams Championships almost a decade ago. Their record in the Youth NABCs is astounding, with multiple victories in the Youth National Pairs and Teams Championships.
In "adult" NABC contests, they have been equally effective. In 2011 in Toronto, the Jeng brothers won the Young Life Master Pairs, and in 2015, they were the winners of the Golder North American Pairs, Flight B.
They made their first foray into world Youth events in 2010, and in 2012, they took home a silver medal representing the U.S. at the World Youth Bridge Championships. In 2013, they captured the gold medal in the 2013 World Youth Bridge Team Championship and the silver medal in the World Youth Bridge Pairs Championship.
Along the way, Richard managed to briefly claim the title of Youngest Life Master in ACBL history.
Jane Champion, secretary of the ACBL Educational Foundation, said, "With such an astounding record, Richard was an extremely strong candidate for King of Bridge this year. The members of the foundation board were very impressed. And recognition certainly goes to Patty Tucker and the Atlanta Junior Bridge program for developing such talent."
Richard agrees with the assessment of Tucker's role.
"Patty Tucker and her role as president of Atlanta Junior Bridge has been the strongest influence in my short bridge career thus far. She was the one who put advertisements in the newspaper for an AJB summer camp way back in 2006, and after my first week there, it has been a rollercoaster that goes ever upwards. She introduced to me to other mentors such as Lola Sliom, Tom and Jenni Carmichael, and eventually with Michael Rosenberg and other USBF mentors. She introduced me to one of my first bridge books, 25 Conventions You Should Know, and I have since then devoured many more. Without her and AJB, I would not be where I am today. She has additionally helped me grow as a bridge mentor, by encouraging my brother and me to be accredited teachers. Patty also allowed me to teach AJB summer camps, hopefully giving the same experience to Atlanta youth as I was given many years ago," he said.
Richard's commitment to giving back to the game is a priority for him, and is another reason why the Educational Foundation felt so strongly about his candidacy.
"In middle school, I created a bridge club and helped to teach students bridge. Additionally, on most Saturdays and in the summer, I help to teach classes and camps. For example, I taught four AJB summer camps last summer over the span of two weeks, giving me the ability to spread my love for the game. And TAP Accreditation has been very useful, giving me access to ACBL resources. In addition to teaching camps, I have helped out with events such as The Longest Day."
Richard is grateful for the opportunities he has had to develop as a player.
"It really is true that you can never stop learning bridge, and I can say without a doubt that I am still learning. Without all the help of the people mentioned above, I wouldn't have the exhilarating thrill that bridge has given me. I would also like to thank District 7 and the entire Mid-Atlantic Bridge Conference staff for providing such well-run tournaments that have allowed my brother and me to practice. Additionally, I would like to thank the ACBL and the Educational Foundation for running and funding the Youth NABCs. I have attended nearly every one of them, and it truly is a gratifying experience to meet up with old friends as well as play a few hands of bridge and enjoy a zip KO or two. I also have much appreciation for the USBF program. It gives kids like me an opportunity to compete internationally. Lastly, I would like to thank my brother and parents for continuously supporting me on this journey of bridge."

Born on November 18, 1911 in San Lazzaro, in the province of Parma, Attilo Bertolucci grew up in an agricultural bourgeois family.
He begin writing poetry and other works early, publishing his first book Sirio as early as 1929.
Two years later he began law studies at the University of Parma, but left soon thereafter in favor of literary studies. The following year his book Fuochi in novembre won high praise from Italian poet Eugenio Montale.
He moved to Rome in 1951. Marrying Ninetta Giovanardi, Bertolucci had two sons, both later the film directors Bernardo and Giuseppe. His book of the same year as his move, La capanna Indiana won the Viareggio Award for literature. During this same period he established a close friendship with writer and director Pier Paolo Pasolini.
Beginning in 1975, the poet worked with Enzo Siciliano and Alberto Moravia on the literary review, Nuovi Argomenti. He won a second Viareggio Award for his narrative poem, La lucertola di Csarola of 1997.
The poet also wrote numerous books of essays and letters.
Bertolucci died in Rome in 2000.

As the seasons change, there is one thing that never goes out of style: braids. With their versatility and seemingly never-ending style options, they can take your look from casual to dressy in no time. As a shorter haired girl, I often need a little inspiration when I pop in my extensions, and thanks to sites like Pinterest, the inspiration is endless. Here are a few styles I definitely want to try, although some look a little more complicated than others!
This technique is so easy and really isn't a braid, but gives the effect of a bubbly and fun alternative to one. All you need are a few clear elastics to get it done. This style would be awesome in a time crunch!
A little different than your standard French braids! Adding two side-by-side braids helps to showcase your badass babe side (I know you've got one!).
I like how the simple crown braid transitions into a tighter-knit fishtail braid, and the waves add that carefree boho vibe.
I love the variation of this pull-through braid and how loose it all looks. It's a great way to keep your locks out of your face while adding a unique style that looks complicated, but isn't!
Effortless and chic. Can I say how much I love this hair colour too?! This loose style could work well for so many occasions!
Another unique variation of the half-up fishtail. Adding two twists gives this a bit more interest and adds a little extra volume to your hair. Definitely going to try this one!
For when you want a little volume up top, this faux-hawk braided style is awesome. It's done by creating a Dutch braid and pulling it out for fullness.
Starting up high gives this the faux-hawk look. I love how this looks with highlighted hair because it gives it such dimension. Basically, create a fishtail French style by adding in pieces as you go. Grab larger chunks for this looser style!
A simple ponytail with lots of volume and a standard braid thrown in can look effortlessly cool in a pinch!
Another variation of the above style, with a low and pulled braid on the bottom layer. I love the overall shape of this one with the teased crown!
A couple of different braids make for an interesting boho look. Starting with wavy hair will add texture and volume so you can be the breezy beauty that you are!


Just a quick drop in because it has been a while. Writing, building, meetings, educating myself on the industry, they have all been necessary and fun. But, one of the best events to come my way (via PPV and a cover charge), was the Six Nations 2013 tournament! The BF and some great friends rallied with me to come out in the wee hours of the morning to pubs in SF for the party and the rugby!
In the end, Wales claimed victory and it was glorious to watch. Having a packed crowd of Americans and Euro true fans of the game was only more enjoyable when blogger, Everwriting, joined in the fun yesterday.
Tremendous highs and lows for each country, when I get to watch the game live at top level, it always reminds me why I love it so much. Not to mention the extreme HOTNESS of the players leads to more inspiration for writing, it's all worth the trouble of waking up in the dark on a weekend morning for a couple of months!
Until next time, well done Wales!

EU public-private Smart Move High Level Group seeks to boost intercity regular coach lines
The EU public-private Smart Move High Level Group, initiated by the IRU, started its work on how to achieve the Smart Move objective of doubling the use of bus and coach transport by boosting intercity bus and coach regular lines in Europe.
Brussels – The 15-member strong EU public-private Smart Move High Level Group [1] (HLG), composed of representatives of the EU institutions, operators, representative associations and other mobility and civil society stakeholders, met to review how to significantly boost intercity regular lines by bus and coach in the European Union.
The meeting focused on how this objective could be achieved through legislation, taxation, infrastructure, and modern communication tools, while considering city related challenges affecting intercity and international regular lines by bus and coach. Specific emphasis was placed on user's needs and the necessity to provide more and affordable mobility opportunities to European citizens and alternatives to car drivers.
President of Eurolines and member of the Smart Move HLG, John Gilbert, said: "As one of the leading European mobility service providers, I am pleased that customers' needs formed the focus of the group's debate. The High Level Group is an excellent opportunity to bring together diverse interest groups, including passenger representatives, operators, disabled peoples' representatives, and European Institutions, to engage in in-depth discussions on long distance coach services and find ways of doubling their use and propose concrete steps for legislative change. My thanks to the IRU for having initiated this High Level Group."
The High Level Group concretely identified three key areas that need to be addressed if more people are to be attracted to use long distance coach services. These are lack of, and access by bus and coach operators to terminals, bus priority measures such as dedicated bus lanes, and information technology systems.
Secretary General of the Swedish Bus and Coach Federation and member of the Smart Move HLG, Anna Grönlund, said: "Our experience in Sweden shows that doubling the use of bus and coach is a realistic objective."
The next Smart Move HLG meeting will take place on 27 September 2012, and focus on the topic of group tourism by coach [2]. All interested public and private stakeholders and citizens are invited to make comments and submit proposals to the High Level Group on the three main topics to be discussed by making use of the dedicated facility on the HLG webpage [3], part of the Smart Move website.

WWE's recent trip to England ended with a bang when AJ Styles beat Jinder Mahal on Smackdown to win the WWE World Heavyweight Championship. The Modern Day Maharaja was defeated, and just before Survivor Series to boot. It now looks like it will be Styles facing Brock Lesnar in a match at the next WWE pay-per-view, which is a matchup a lot more fans are going to be excited for. However, what will happen with Mahal now? His run as champion was always a surprise, but where do things go for him now? Here are five possibilities for Mahal now that he's dropped the belt to Styles.

Pula Plays Host to First Heavy Metal Festival
By Dave Gasson 27 June 2018
The first heavy metal festival takes place in Pula!
Croatia has been a popular tourist destination for many years, and the recent proliferation of summer festivals has encouraged a new generation of tourists to our beautiful towns and beaches where they can enjoy music and the arts as well as the traditional welcome that Croats give to visitors.
The festivals offer music from musicians from all over Europe, which, in turn, attracts their fans, bringing more opportunities for local tourism to thrive and prosper. The additional wealth generated by these festival lovers is providing a huge boost to local economies and over the weekend of the 21st to the 24th of June, it was the turn for heavy metal music lovers from across Europe to come together in Pula for the first GoatHell Metal Fest.
Despite waking up on the Friday morning to torrential rain, high winds, thunder and lightning, the organisers and volunteers did an incredible job of making the festival a success and by 16.00, the stage, which had looked like a disaster area, was looking like a stage again. The cables were dried out and electricians and sound engineers were busy at work, whilst the festival site was cleared and prepared again.
There were over 25 international and Croatian bands performing at the open air seafront festival. The main stage was fittingly named after Jure Grando, the vampire from Kringa, who, according to historical records, was the first real person to be described as a Vampire. MartYriuM, the blackened industrial death metal band from Malta performed an intriguing and at times dramatic set with some great guitar playing, with the impressive Sandra Misanthrope on vocals. From Poland came the alternative metal band, Chaos Engine Research, and making the journey from London were the hard metal rock band Other Eyes Wise. With two lead vocalists, Frank Novelli and Kyo Calati, the Italian band MindAheaD gave an alternative perspective to progressive metal. Rounding off a great night of music and entertainment was the local modern metal band from Pula, Mortal Divinity.
Following on from this year`s European tour "The Beast Within Me'' and with Aura Danciulescu on lead vocals, Scarlet Aura, the four-piece melodic/rock/metal band from Romania offered up a great set. Since winning the Black Sea Battle of the bands at Kavarna Rock Fest back in 2014, they have gone from strength to strength. They played tracks in Romanian from their debut album "The Rock Chick" as well as English tracks from their second album "Falling Sky''. They will be playing at various festivals during the summer before embarking on a tour of North America in September. Autumn will also see the release of their third and slightly more progressive/heavy metal album, "Hot'n'Heavy'', as well as the first book in a trilogy written by Aura Danciulescu.
The headlining group for the Friday night was the Ukrainian Metal band "Jinjer" with Tatiana Shmailyuk on lead vocals. They offered an explosive mixture of groove, hardcore and progressive metal. Tatiana's energy was phenomenal as she danced and sang her way around the stage. Her ability to sing in such a rich and velvet tone coupled with her contrasting unique, raucous and gravelly voice was breathtaking.
No storms or adverse weather conditions came overnight, so the festival was all set for a great day of entertainment in the sunshine on Saturday. With over ten bands scheduled for the main stage, they started promptly from 16:00 and played continuously until 03:00 with just a 10 or 15 minute break in between for sound checks. From Croatia and from the festival's home town of Pula, the hugely popular death metal band "Infernal Tenebra" put in a great performance with some incredible head banging and guitar playing. The Croatian doom metal band "Old Night" from Rijeka played long into the night. Three Italian bands "Reapter", "Arkana Code" and the five-piece death metal band "Mechanical God Creation" all put in good performances and brought their own version of metal. The face painted black/death metal Spanish band "Atrexial" from Barcelona were a joy to watch and put on a great show. From Britain came the oldschool death metal band "Repulsive Vision" and from Poland the industrial metal band "UDS - Underdamped System" took to the stage.
The headline band for Saturday night was the Dutch band "Sinister". With over 25 years of tours and festivals behind them, it was no surprise that they gave an outstanding performance with their compact and fierce style of death metal music.
It was refreshing to go to a festival and not be charged extortionate prices for food and drink. The bar offered reasonable and normal priced beer with friendly helpful staff and the caterers kept me well fed for three days. There were also exhibitions by numerous artists such as Ksenija Mijoković and Nikola Mijoković, and sculptures by Mario Devcić from Pula, and Laura Pepel from Italy. There was also an interesting historical exhibition about Pula before 1945. In between performances from live bands, Roman gladiators from Pula wandered through the crowds and performed hard fought battles.
