Histories 2010 - 2016
~ Eight Bells
(Digipack Packaging)
Eight Bells will reissue their first two albums "The Captain's Daughter (2013), which included re-worked material from the debut EP "Isosceles" (2011), and "Landless" (2016) parallel to the release of the forthcoming new third full-length "Legacy of Ruin" (2022) joined together under the title "Histories 2010 - 2016". The double-CD and triple vinyl editions will also contain the bonus track 'Purgatory' and five demo versions of songs from both albums. Eight Bells were conceived as the brainchild and songwriting project of Melynda Jackson in 2010. The guitarist and vocalist named the band after the final album of her previous act, SUBARACHNOID SPACE. While the trio evolved through several line-up changes in the beginning, Melynda is now supported by vocalist and bass player Matt Solis (CORMORANT, URSA) Brian Burke (NO SHORES, CAVE DWELLER) on drums. Eight Bells breaks from the pack by exploring the natural tones and grand visions of the 1970s as reflected in the influences that she cites, which include early prog and krautrock trailblazers such as GENESIS, AMON DÜÜL II, POPOL VUH, MAGMA, RUSH, the ambient minimalist composers in the realm of BRIAN ENO and STEVE REICH as well as the progressive ends on the spectrum of black, doom, and death metal such as ENSLAVED, ULVER, DEATH, YOB, and EMPEROR to name but a few. Following the release of the "Isosceles" EP (2011), Eight Bells gained international recognition for their debut album "The Captain's Daughter (2013)" and tour support for SUBROSA across North America. With their sophomore full-length "Landless" (2016), Eight Bells consolidated their reputation as one of the up and coming acts, joined VOIVOD in the US and received an invitation to Psycho Las Vegas, which the trio gladly accepted.

Today is the last day you can legally use your 500 ₹ and 1000 ₹ note. This is what is reported by the Prime Minister of India. The government of India has decided to launch new currency notes of value 500₹ and 2000₹.
The old notes which won't be accepted in the market from today onwards could be returned to the banks uptil next year, that is uptil 30th of December, 2016.
These photos of 2000 ₹ notes went viral few days ago with a confusion of whether it's true or not. Well turns out all the hype was real.

Israel Gives Abbas Guards 375 Rifles - Gil Hoffman (Jerusalem Post)
An aide close to Prime Minister Olmert announced Tuesday that Israel had transferred 375 rifles to PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas on Monday.
Olmert said earlier that he authorized the transfer of arms and ammunition to Abbas "so he can strengthen the forces against Hamas. I did this because we are running out of time and we need to help" him.
According to earlier reports, Israel was to receive the weapons from Jordan and Egypt.
Palestinian Demonstrators Storm Parliament (AP/Washington Post)
Dozens of Palestinian civil servants linked to Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement stormed a PA parliamentary session in Ramallah on Wednesday to demand long-overdue salaries, attacking Hamas lawmakers and forcing the parliament speaker to flee the building.
The Hamas-led government, weakened by international economic sanctions, has been unable to pay the salaries of civil servants since taking office more than three months ago.
Gaza's Rocket Threat to Israel (BBC News)
Kassam rockets are homemade weapons that have been fired by Hamas and other Palestinian militants in their hundreds at Israeli communities near the Gaza Strip.
Katyusha rockets, a much larger and more lethal projectile with a longer range, have also begun appearing in the Gaza Strip, smuggled in from surrounding Arab states.
According to the Israeli army, Kassams killed eight people within Israel between June 2004 and March 2006, including three children.
Some 98 attacks have already been registered this month.
It would only take one major taking of life in a school or other civilian facility to spark a major Israeli military operation against the rocket squads, says Yoram Schweitzer of Tel Aviv's Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies.

Unlikely Pair Emerges as Foe of Iranian Regime - Eli Lake (New York Sun)
Two scions of the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran are emerging as emboldened opponents of the regime in Tehran, reviving the prospect that Reza Pahlavi, the son of the former shah, may collaborate with Hussein Khomeini, the grandson of the ayatollah who deposed him.
See also Khomeini's Grandson: Grandfather's Revolution Devoured its Children, Strayed from Original Course (MEMRI)
In an interview with the Al-Arabiyya TV website, Ayatollah Khomeini's grandson, Ayatollah Hussein Khomeini, said that the current Iranian regime was "a dictatorship of clerics who control every aspect of life," and called for foreign intervention to topple the regime.

Israel Says It Didn't Cause Deadly Gaza Blast - Mark Lavie
Israeli Defense Minister Amir Peretz said Tuesday that Israel was not responsible for a blast that killed eight Gaza beachgoers, rebuffing Palestinian accusations that blamed an Israeli artillery round. "The accumulating evidence proves that this incident was not due to Israeli forces," Peretz said.
An Israeli inquiry concluded the blast was caused by an explosive buried in the sand, not from Israeli shelling on the afternoon of the Palestinian family's beach picnic. Israel has been claiming that Hamas militants planted a device to set off against Israeli commandos. According to Israeli findings, shrapnel taken from two wounded Palestinians who were evacuated to Israeli hospitals showed that the fragments were not from the 155-millimeter shells used by Israeli artillery. Showing aerial photographs and film, the head of the Israeli inquiry, Maj. Gen. Meir Klifi, declared: "There is no chance that a shell hit this area. Absolutely no chance." (AP/Washington Post)
See also Israel Denies Causing Beach Deaths - Tim Butcher
Scrutiny of shrapnel, photographs, and timings proved, according to the inquiry, that Israeli forces were not involved in actions near the beach at the time of the blast. Dan Halutz, the Israeli chief of staff, said, "We checked each and every shell that was fired from the sea, the air, and from the artillery on the land and we found out that we can track each and every one according to a timetable and according to the accuracy of where they hit the ground." (Telegraph-UK)
See also Annan Dismisses Israeli Claims on Gaza Beach Deaths
UN Secretary General Kofi Annan told the London-based Al-Hayat daily on Wednesday, "The Israeli claim that the beach blast was caused by an explosive charge at the site sounds strange to me. I don't believe it is possible that the Palestinians planted charges in a place where civilians often spend their time." Annan said he would send a representative on his behalf to the region to investigate the Palestinian claims that an Israeli shell killed the family on the beach. (Albawaba-Jordan)

Israel Does Not Target Innocents, Will Defend Its People from Terrorist Rockets - Herb Keinon
The Foreign Ministry is instructing its representatives to stress the following points: The Israeli Army is a cautious, professional, accurate, and ethical organization. Israel does not target innocents, yet must fight terrorists who willingly shield themselves behind their own population in their ongoing campaign to kill and maim Israeli civilians. These terrorists also manipulate and exploit the suffering they cause their own people in order to achieve fleeting advantages in their propaganda war against Israel and its legitimacy.
Since Israel's disengagement from Gaza last August, more than 500 terrorist rockets have fallen on Israeli civilian targets, including kindergartens, schools, homes, and factories. Daily life in those Israeli towns within rocket range has been turned upside-down, streets are deserted, factories have closed down, schools have been shut, and children have been traumatized beyond measure. The government of Israel bears the responsibility to protect the lives of its citizens, and to defend its territory and population from terrorist threats. Every other government would, in similar circumstances, act in a similar manner. (Jerusalem Post)
Olmert: "1967 Borders Are Indefensible" - Gil Hoffman
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert spoke before the British Parliament on Tuesday and said that Israel "would never agree to pull out of all of the West Bank to pre-1967 borders because those borders are indefensible." He then referred to the infighting between rival Palestinian factions, and asked, "Do you think these guys...are ready in our lifetime to engage in a serious political dialogue?" (Jerusalem Post)
Security Guard Shot Near Jerusalem - Etgar Lefkovits
An Israeli security guard overseeing the construction of the separation barrier was shot and moderately wounded Tuesday near the Atarot checkpoint just north of Jerusalem. (Jerusalem Post)
The Big (and Never-Ending) Lie - Melanie Phillips
It is now clear that Israel was not responsible for the killing of the Palestinian family on the beach in Gaza last weekend. Shrapnel removed from the wounded Palestinians turned out not to be Israeli ordinance; there was no blast crater of the kind that would have been expected following a shell landing, while the evidence at the scene suggested instead a mine exploding from below; and all the shells fired from the Israeli gunboat had been fired significantly earlier than the disaster on the beach. This was the incident, remember, that Hamas used as an excuse for its announcement that the "truce" with Israel was now over.
Meanwhile, more than 100 missiles have been fired at Israeli towns from Gaza since the weekend. The Palestinians are using their own people as human shields by firing from densely populated areas, thus making it impossible for Israel to take out these firing sites without civilian casualties. The bombardment of Israel, however, has been all but ignored by the UK media. The same media eagerly regurgitates Palestinian lies and libels to demonize Israel. No country on earth would be expected to put up with such a bombardment of its citizens. (melaniephillips.com)
Welcome to the Bazaar - Warren Christopher
There are lessons from our 1979-81 negotiations over the Iranian hostage crisis, in which I was chief negotiator, that can inform our efforts in 2006. First, we must be sure we are talking with the right people. At the moment, Iran's president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, is riding high. But he may not be as powerful as he seems. Ultimate authority remains with Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and we have not heard from Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, former two-term president and now chairman of the Expediency Council.
Second, our negotiators should prepare themselves for "bazaar behavior." With the Iranians, the negotiating style is likely to resemble that of a Middle Eastern marketplace, with outlandish demands, feints at abandoning the process, and haggling over minor details up to the very last moment.
Third, if the new package of incentives does not persuade the Iranians to suspend their enrichment program, which was Washington's condition for joining the talks, I believe sanctions can play a valuable role.

Israel Does Not Need Palestinian Recognition - Yehuda Avner
On the first day of his premiership in 1977, Menachem Begin was asked by the BBC whether he looked forward to a time when the Palestinians would recognize Israel. "I don't need Palestinian recognition for my right to exist," he replied. Later that day he told the Knesset, "Would it enter the mind of any Briton or Frenchman, Belgian or Dutchman, Hungarian or Bulgarian, Russian or American, to request for its people recognition of its right to exist?"
"We were granted our right to exist by the God of our fathers at the glimmer of the dawn of human civilization four thousand years ago. Hence, the Jewish people have an historic, eternal, and inalienable right to exist in this land, Eretz Yisrael, the land of our forefathers. We need nobody's recognition in asserting this inalienable right. And for this inalienable right, which has been sanctified in Jewish blood from generation to generation, we have paid a price unexampled in the annals of nations." (Jerusalem Post)
Abbas' Comeback Plan Is a Dead End - Aaron David Miller (Los Angeles Times)
If you had a headache, even a migraine, would you shoot yourself in the head to get rid of it? That's precisely what PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas is doing in his current gambit to corner Hamas by forcing a referendum on the future of the two-state solution. If he succeeds, it will not help his cause, but it will undermine his credibility and set the Palestinian national movement back twenty years.
The problem is that the document that Abbas sees as the vehicle of his deliverance will only muddy the clarity of his own stand against terrorism and for negotiations - the very positions that make him credible with Israel and the U.S. The document endorses armed resistance in the West Bank and Gaza, urges Palestinians to free prisoners by any means, and gives preeminence to the Palestinian right of return.
The fact that it may represent an advance over Hamas' maximalist goals cannot hide the fact that it is a serious retreat from Fatah's more moderate objectives. Indeed, it reopens vital questions about Israel's right to exist and about Palestinian endorsement of terrorism and violence that should have been laid to rest by now.
Abbas risks locking himself into positions that raise serious doubts about his own moderate intentions and could formally link him to prospective partners and committees (the document calls for the creation of a committee to direct resistance in the occupied territories) that will undermine his own approach toward negotiations.
Abbas' approach may play well in the Palestinian Peoria, but it will do little to advance his case in Washington and Jerusalem. In the end, his success or failure will be determined by his capacity to create a process that replaces the occupation with statehood - something that can only be achieved with Israeli and American support.

I was in Upton Park, an old social club called the Red House, and it was Sunday evening. I was in a no good mood, having been forced to dedicate some of my free time to carrying on with work; my boss, having run me through with his tongue, saying—'On Monday, I want this…' and this and this, and I thought that my weekend was gone. Finally on Sunday afternoon I began. I sat at my desk, pulled out my drawings and started to work. In a couple of minutes, she came up the stairs with a warm cookie and kissed me. She asked me if I wanted anything to drink. I asked her to bring me a beer. She ran her hand up my back and kissed my neck. Outside all was grey. It was one of those Sundays, those notorious days, full of inactivity and misery, from childhood and with you your whole life; one of those sad, deep days. Either way, she did not wish to join me at the social club, and, in the cold, I left alone. It was neither here nor there that she should wish to be alone than to be with me. The day before we had gone into town together, and I remarked—'It was nice to go into town with you today. Usually I go in there on my tod.' It was the awkward period between dusk and night when I came out of the flat, alone, and the wind blew hard.
You had to ring the bell to gain entrance, my uncle saying hello to the recently arrived son of a friend—'We went on holiday to Spain… years ago… you were this big… eleven years old, I think.' This handsome man, from the car, with his infant, had with him a most beautiful young lady who powdered across the road, confronting these strangers to whom her husband seemed so dissimilar. Inside, the hallway of the club was decorated with ornate and muted mosaic tiles that had been worn smooth over the years. Music came from one doorway, the smell of food from another. My parents were in the club, with everyone else, nestled in the nook of the bar, surrounded by brothers & sisters. In the corner a band played: two guitarists, a bassist –'He just came out of the crowd!'—and a percussionist. A pint was thrust into my hand and I took it all too keenly.
As I was in no state of mind to engage in much chat – after kissing my parents and everybody hello – I stood and watched the band, worried that I might be in someone's way. They played simple and very happily. The audience was made up of families and drinkers, tapping their toes, half-empty plastic plates before them with curry leftovers, children bopping on the floor, teens texting, a call from one side to the other. Men leaned on the bar and talked loudly over the music. All was enjoyment and complete Sunday evening relaxation, forgetful of the upcoming week, soaking in the moment and music. A thin Anglo man stood up next to his wife, shaking, wobbling, clapping his hands out of time and laughing. A mother danced with her babe on the improvised dancefloor as the band played a peppy soul number. Through the window a floating cigarette end hovered, glowed, dancing against the dark.
Although I was happy, sinking beer after beer, forgetting about work and all of my worries, my parents seemed off with me. I could not understand it, understand them. They acted to me as though we were strangers and I was reminded, once more, that I had come from them and was moving away from them, though I may not like it. The words I spoke to them were taken by their faces as though I were a stranger! In the end, I decided that I would not speak to them, but to say how delicious the food was. What had I done to deserve such treatment? It baffled me. I had, after all, travelled only to see them before they went on holiday, and they confronted my appearance with only the coolest of welcomes – my father did not even kiss my cheek! I was heartbroken about it all, and kept drinking as if to get away from it. In the garden, two men were smoking, talking of blowing off Monday work in favour of drinking deep into the night. I wished to join them, to befriend their gang and wander off in search of other adventures; supporters of different football teams, yes, but brothers in arms against that great upset that threatened to turn us all mad! I put my cigarette in the tray and went back inside.
My parents soon left and my father kissed me on the cheek. They were gone. My uncle's girlfriend started to talk to me and, unwittingly, I let spill all of my troubles – and to this stranger! How unlike me! She could tell anyone, or she could ridicule me; she could use the information against me in a bargain or let it slip to some other member of the family, and yet there I was letting it all out. At times I had to pause so that I might collect myself, prevent myself from shedding any feeble tears in the social club as the band packed their gear away and still the delicious smell of curry spilled from the kitchen. I soon corrected myself and my thoughts and rushed to end the conversation. Quickly she turned the conversation to herself in some effort to alleviate me of this grief and I listened to her words, and nodded 'yes' and nodded 'yes.' But my parents had left, and she was at home and, without them, I suppose I don't have a single friend to hear my problems, so I offer them up to the lovers of family members in social clubs and, all the while, I see the faint wisps of tobacco smoke balancing beyond the window frame, disappearing into the cold night, and the exhaler turning and untangled from the strands.

College of DuPage to pay state thousands after wrongly counting law enforcement academy enrollment
By NATHAN LURZ
October 13, 2015 at 1:56 pm CDT
The College of DuPage will miss out on hundreds of thousands of state dollars after a draft report showed the school was wrongfully counting students at the on-campus Suburban Law Enforcement Academy for funding purposes.
The report, delivered by the Illinois Community College Board on Oct. 7, said the college had been inflating its enrollment numbers with the academy, which opened in 1994 to train local suburban police officers.
COD had been counting academy enrollees toward its own student total because they are concurrently enrolled in several courses at the college while at the academy. However, the curriculum was never approved by a faculty member, students never actually took a class at the college and credit was not given for prior learning, as in the instance of members of the military having prior experience relating to a course.
The practice had been going on since the academy opened, interim college President Joseph Collins said, though the demanded reparations to the state only go back until 2011 when the last review was conducted.
In all, the school will likely have to pay back an estimated $140,000 for the fiscal years 2012 and 2013 and lose out on revenues for the two years after that, Collins said.
Matt Berry, spokesman for the Illinois Community College Board, said the total dollar amount had yet to be determined, but the board would be finalizing its report in November.
Collins said staff didn't think the arrangement was a problem through the years. He said the school's downfall came from not coordinating enough with faculty.
"Only faculty can make the determination of (whether) a certain type of experience is worthy of college credit," he said. "It's my view that what the college needs now is a general healing and repositioning of academics at the forefront of the college."
Board Chairwoman Kathy Hamilton said the event was "another sad and sobering development" in the fallout of the previous administration. The college also announced an internal investigation looking into the matter during its Oct. 8 meeting.
"We will not tolerate these games with the taxpayers – those days are over," she said.
The college has 30 days to respond to the report, and Collins said staff had already begun working on addressing concerns.
Berry said the Illinois Community College Board had not received any other complaints and did not have issues with other community colleges with affiliated police or fire academies, though the board would be looking at the matter during its next cycle of reviews starting January 2016.
In light of the situation, he said the board would be holding a workshop in the next several months to "make it abundantly clear these credits are not for college reimbursement and make sure everybody is on the same page."

Analysts began speculating late last week that Apple Inc., along with LG, may soon be releasing flash-based laptops later in the year. Today, news from Santa Clara-based Intel, the company that currently supplies Apple with its processors, may lend some credence to that assertion.
On Monday, the world's leading producer of microprocessors announced it will be entering the hard drive market with new solid-state drives based on NAND flash memory.
According to Intel, the Z-U130 value solid-state drive (VSSD) will feature standard USB interfaces and offer storage for a wide variety of computing and embedded platforms.
The company says the drives will be used in a variety of Intel-based computing platforms, such as servers, notebooks, and low-cost PCs. Additionally, there are plans to include them in Intel embedded solutions for routers and point-of-sale terminals.
Rand Wilhelm, vice president and general manager of Intel's NAND Products Group said that solid state drive technology offers myriad benefits when compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs). Citing their improved performance and reliability, Wilhelm said that the family of drives will deliver faster boot times, rapid data access, and low-power storage alternatives for PCs, routers, servers, gaming applications.
The Z-U130 will come in 1-, 2-, 4-, and 8-Gigabyte densities and will have read times of 28 megabytes/second and write speeds of 20 megabytes/second. Intel says the drive is also expected to meet an average mean time between failure (MTBF)—the most common specification related to drive reliability—of five million hours.
Today, a typical MTBF for a HDD is in the range of 300,000 to 1,200,000 hours.
Intel says that the Z-U130 can be easily integrated into manufacturers' designs due to its USB 2.0 and 1.1 compliant interfaces, its 2×5 USB connector, and its standard single-level cell NAND.
Intel also said on Monday that it is considering next-generation products that could incorporate cost-effective multi-level cell (MLC) technology, or storing multiple bits of information on a single memory transistor.
The latter technique is due to improved process technologies, which has allowed significant density increases and lower cost-per-megabyte since flash memory was first introduced in 1988.
According to the company, Intel's first flash device was a 256 Kbit device priced at $20 (or about $640 per Mbyte). Since then, process technology innovation has increased the density and decreased the cost-per-Mbyte.
In 1996, for example, an 8-Mbit device was priced at $12 (or $12 per Mbyte), which was more than a 50 times reduction in cost-per-Mbyte.
Intel believes continued process scaling will inevitably drive up density and lower cost-per-Mbyte. MultiLevel Cell Technology is expected to further build on process scaling.

Charlene also leads strategy projects with a range of brands, particularly in apparel, with a focus on using futures tools to diagnose and act on emerging systemic challenges.
She has over 20 years experience in futures, systems thinking, and organisational change for sustainability. Her educational qualifications include an MSc in Sustainability and Responsibility from Ashridge Management College, a BA in International Relations and Diploma in Organisational Change and Development.
"What I find most rewarding is the opportunity to distil what I've learned from practical application of systems change through Forum's projects into insights that can be shared with others - and at the same time learning through and from others in the School in ways that can inform my own work."
