Stage is the second live album by English musician David Bowie, recorded on the Isolar II Tour, and released through RCA Records in 1978. Stage has been reissued numerous times, each with expanded track listings.

Recording
The recording was culled from concerts in Philadelphia, Providence, and Boston, US, in late April and early May 1978. It primarily included material from Bowie's most recent studio albums to that date, Station to Station, Low, and "Heroes" (both 1977), but also contained five songs from The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars (1972). Aside from Bowie's core team of Carlos Alomar, Dennis Davis, and George Murray, the band included ex-Frank Zappa sideman Adrian Belew on guitar, Simon House from Hawkwind on electric violin, Roger Powell, best known for his work with Todd Rundgren in the group Utopia, on keyboards, and Sean Mayes on piano, string ensemble and backup vocals. All would reunite the following year on Bowie's next studio LP, Lodger (1979).

In the liner notes for the CD reissue (2005), recording engineer Tony Visconti explains that the "ambient" songs were recorded via a direct electronic feed from the instruments rather than through microphones, and that the audience was turned "way down during these performances". Apparently the US audiences (contrary to Australian audiences, for instance) were, in Visconti's words, "a little too impatient for David to get on with the rock songs".

Reception

Stage was a commercial success. In the UK, it reached No. 5 and was subsequently certified gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). It also reached No. 44 on the US charts.

"Breaking Glass", which originally appeared in shorter form on Low, was released as a 3-track EP and reached number 54 on the UK singles chart. In the US, "Star" was released as a 3-track EP, but failed to chart. In Japan "Soul Love" was released, with "Blackout" on the B-side, but also failed to chart.

Generally considered more relaxed than Bowie's previous live album, David Live, Stage was praised on its initial vinyl release for the fidelity with which the band was able to emulate in concert the electronic and effects-filled numbers from Low and "Heroes", as well as for the singer's vocal performance.  At the same time, because Bowie had rarely tampered with the arrangements – in contrast to his method on David Live – Stage added little to what was available on the original albums, and was seen by some commentators as simply a marketing exercise that did not do justice to a memorable series of live concerts.   The album was criticised for lacking a 'live' atmosphere, thanks to the recording being largely taken from direct instrument and microphone feeds, which increased sound quality but minimised crowd noise. The original concert running order was also changed, with fades between tracks similar to a studio album.  Even the cover picture came in for criticism, more so because the rest of the package contained only variations of the same shot.

In a review of the 1991 rerelease, Mat Snow of Q stated that "performances are faster than the studio originals and suffer for it; what they gain in live jauntiness – not exactly a quality they were crying out for – they lose in power and intensity."

A 2005 reissue saw many of the criticisms of the original LP addressed. In his review of the reissue, Chris Roberts of Uncut said that the combination of Low/Heroes-period material and songs from Ziggy Stardust resulted in a live album that was an "eerie clattering between two stools". He said that the improvements in sound carried out by Tony Visconti and the addition of "Stay" and "the brilliant 'Be My Wife'" made the new version of Stage "essential for Dave-freaks, anyway".

The album is included in The Quietus' list of its writers' "40 Favourite Live Albums".

Track listings

Original 1978 LP

The cassette release places "Speed of Life" between "Fame" and "TVC 15".

Rereleases
Stage has been rereleased on CD four times to date, the first being in 1984 by RCA Records, then in 1991 by Rykodisc (containing a bonus track), later in 2005 by EMI, and most recently in 2017 by Parlophone (also on vinyl). The running order of the 2005 and 2017 editions reflects the actual performance, removing fades between tracks, and including previously unreleased performances as bonus tracks.

The 1984 rerelease on CD (catalogue number PD89002) contains the same running order as the original LP, and comes on two discs (despite the double-LP release being short enough to fit on a single CD unaltered). Some of the European-distributed CDs were manufactured in Japan, but cover and assembling were made in Europe. Most of the CDs were made in Germany.

1991 rerelease
In 1991, Stage was rereleased on CD, with the same running order as the original LP, with "Alabama Song" included as a bonus track.

2005 rerelease

The 2005 CD reissue features a new running order, reflecting the original setlist of the concerts as performed. Two previously unreleased performances were included on the album as bonus tracks.

2017 rerelease

In 2017, the album was included, in two versions, in the A New Career in a New Town (1977–1982) box set released by Parlophone.  One version contained the original mix and the same list and ordering of tracks that had appeared on the original vinyl album; the other was a new version of the album, based on the 2005 edition but including two previously unreleased songs from the concerts. The latter was also released separately, in 2-CD and 3-LP formats, in 2018.

3 dead in car crash
The identities of the crash victims have not yet been released, as their families are still being notified. The two passengers in the front of the car survived, but the three in the backseat were killed.

Three people were killed and one person was injured in a fiery crash Monday morning along Suitland Parkway in Prince George's County. News4's Derrick Ward reports on other serious crashes along that stretch of road. (Published Monday, May 15, 2017)

The crash at the Lynnway Auto Auction in Billerica, about 24 miles northwest of Boston, happened at 10:13 a.m. when the driver of a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee waiting to enter the auction suddenly accelerated and entered the building at a very high rate of speed, officials said at a news conference this afternoon. The driver has been identified by officials as a male in his 70s who is an employee of Lynnway Auto Auction.
Police said the front portion of the Infiniti landed in the left lane of the eastbound lower LIE roadway. Another car, a 2012 Acura TL, then struck that car debris near the Maurice Avenue exit.
The car went airborne after hitting the embankment and slammed into a tree, which caused the car to split in half. The vehicle then landed in the bayou, according to Lee.
"As I'm coming up the hill I hear, 'bang, bang bang.' I double stepped it up the hill to see if I could help, to see what was going on. There was two other accidents after the first accident," a livery driver told 1010 WINS' Glenn Schuck. "There was a taxi cab that caught fire, the people got out, they were injured. The other car, I don't know what happened with that, but that was a pretty bad accident. It was pretty serious."
"While we were trying to stop traffic from coming to the accident scene, the dump truck was coming too fast and we heard him braking and he just ran into cars," witness Carlos Rocha said said. "I had to jump over the divider to avoid getting hit by a car."
Things don't just happen. We make them happen. The driver of that car was speeding in the early morning hours…tired, and I'm assuming drunk…Maybe he wanted to die?…It looks like an accident…but maybe it was a suicide…unfortunately, he took other lives with him

The Scarifyers is broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra, and has been described in the national press as "rollicking good fun", "a slice of audio perfection", "the smartest and most enjoyable thing on British radio", and "like Tintin but with the lights out".
This is the eighth Scarifyers adventure, and stars David Warner (The Omen, Time Bandits), Terry Molloy (Doctor Who, The Archers) and Gareth David-Lloyd (Torchwood).
When a haunted chess set causes consternation at the British Chess Championships, and a horse magically materialises in Kettering Agricultural Museum, MI:13 are called to investigate.
Harry Crow (David Warner) and Professor Dunning (Terry Molloy) follow the trail of inexplicable happenings to an unremarkable terraced house in South Wales, home to the mysterious Mr Merriman (David Benson). He's very old, and very mad; but is there more to Merriman than first appears?
Meanwhile, in the southwest of England, famed archeologist Ralegh Radford (Ewan Bailey) is on the verge of the greatest discovery of the age. Britain's Tutankhamen, the press are calling it. But what he certainly isn't expecting to unearth is boisterous 1400-year-old knight Glewlwyd Gafaelfawr (Gareth David-Lloyd). As Crow and Dunning unravel an unlikely plot to resurrect Britain's greatest-ever hero, the race is on to stop sinister forces at home and abroad from finding...The Thirteen Hallows.

A riot.
One of my favorite Scarifyers, well written, beautifully voiced, and very funny. Perfect entertainment, anytime.
My Idoru
What the word 'Awesome' was invented for.
Never a dull moment with Prof Dunning (dun dun dun dun ) and Harry Crow. Such a shame Lionheart (The much loved and missed Nicholas Courtney) died but Crow fills the role nicely.
Oh no.... not Wales......
Denis Smith
saved again
loved every minute. Now onto the next one. harry and dunning to the rescue of this great island
Laughs galore
As usual with this series the laughs come thick and fast. Perhaps not the strongest story but the presentation and acting cannot be faulted.
If you are new to the Scary first then Denge Marsh is a great place to start. That said this is highly recommended.


Funding of up to €200,000 is available for rural towns and villages across Laois through the 2019 .
This is according to Laois/Offaly TD and Minister for Justice and Equality, Charlie Flanagan.
The scheme is specifically targeted at rural towns and villages with populations of less than 10,000.
The minimum grant which is available is €20,000 and the maximum is €100,000.
A higher maximum of €200,000 will be considered for a limited number of projects where a strong case can be made demonstrating exceptionally strong benefit to a town and/or its outlying areas.
In order to avail of funding through the scheme, Laois County Council will be required to advertise for expressions of interest from towns and villages and will select proposals for development into detailed applications to be submitted to the Department by the end of June.
Two categories of Town/Villages are eligible for support under the scheme.
Category one is for towns/villages with a population of less than 5,000 people. At least of 60 of the funding available will be awarded to category one towns and villages.
Category two is for towns with a population of 5,000-10,000 people.
Successful proposals will demonstrate close collaboration between communities and business interests in the design and delivery of proposed projects, and must have the support of the Local Authority.
Minister Flanagan said: "To ensure the vitality of our rural areas, a significant proportion of national population and economic growth will be targeted at building up the fabric of smaller towns, villages and rural areas.
"Since the Town and Village Renewal Scheme was introduced in 2016, almost €53 million has been approved for over 670 projects across the country.
Full details of the Rural Regeneration and Development Fund, along with the Application Form, are available on the Department of Rural and Community Development website here.

Prada Is Going Fur-Free Later This Year
By Sophie Hirsh
May. 22 2019, Updated 4:05 p.m. ET
Prada is officially going fur-free! The luxury fashion house has responded to animal welfare groups by taking action, and beginning with the company's Spring/Summer 2020 (SS2020) women's collections, Prada will no longer use any fur. Most designers debut their Spring/Summer collections during the previous fall, meaning Prada will be fur-free in just a few months, come fall 2019.
According to the Prada Group's press website, Prada will follow Fur Free Retailer's definition of fur, which is defined as "the pelt of any animal — including, but not limited to, mink, fox, rabbit, karakul lamb, and raccoon dog — killed mainly for its fur." By the time the SS2020 collections debut, Prada will no longer use fur in any of its garments — and neither will Prada's subsidiaries Miu Miu, Church's, or Car Shoe, according to the BBC.
As part of the #PradaGroup, #Prada has announced, in collaboration with the @FurFreeAlliance, that it will no longer use animal fur in its designs or new products, starting with #PradaSS20 Women's collections. #PradaGroupFurFree#FurFreeRetailer#FutureofFashion#FurFree pic.twitter.com/Np6HCL0w2d

Prada will continue selling garments made with fur that have already been produced beyond this fall, until inventories are depleted. Prada will also continue using other fabrics that require animal slaughter, including leather and sheepskin.
Prada made the decision to eliminate fur from its collections in collaboration with the Fur Free Alliance (FFA), a coalition of more than 50 animal rights organizations from around the globe, namely the Humane Society of the United States and Italian organization LAV.
"The Prada Group is committed to innovation and social responsibility, and our fur-free policy — reached following a positive dialogue with the Fur Free Alliance, in particular with LAV and the Humane Society of the United States — is an extension of that engagement," said Miuccia Prada, head designer of Prada, in a statement. "Focusing on innovative materials will allow the company to explore new boundaries of creative design while meeting the demand for ethical products."
Breaking: Prada Group goes fur-free and joins Fur Free Retailer! Prada Group - including the brands @Prada, @MIUMIUofficial, Church's and @Car_Shoe - will no longer sell fur starting #SS2020. Great day for animals! #FutureOfFashion #PradaGroupFurFree https://t.co/pQJjF8Zqd4 pic.twitter.com/0bkljJHNRk

In September 2018, the Fur Free Alliance launched a global campaign to encourage Prada to go fur-free. As part of the campaign, thousands of people emailed Prada, demanding that the house stop using fur. In response, Prada said that fur products made up less than 0.1 percent of Prada's inventory, and that the brand was headed toward a "gradual and concrete reduction in the marketing" of fur products, WWD reported at the time.
That claim was still not enough for people concerned with the welfare of animals. Shortly after, actress and animal advocate Pamela Anderson sent a letter to Miuccia Prada on PETA's behalf, asking her to commit to eliminating fur from future products. It's pretty amazing that less than a year after that campaign launched, Prada has taken the leap and will be omitting fur from all collections.

In addition to being cruel to animals, fur production has endless negative environmental side effects. According to Fur Free Retailer, the material is often marketed as "natural," but it's actually filled with chemicals, including the potential carcinogen formaldehyde. Plus, fur farms have negative impacts on their local communities, due to the pollution that fur-farming causes. Fur Free Retailer also notes that fur's environmental impact is 28 times higher than polyester, even though polyester is made from plastic. And when the European Fur Breeders' Association published an ad claiming that wearing fur was eco-friendly, the U.K. organization Advertising Standards Authority decided to ban the ad for being misleading, according to The Guardian.
Not to mention, Prada is far from the first major fashion house to stop manufacturing clothing with fur. Other luxury designers part of the Fur Free Retailer group include Versace, Jimmy Choo, Michael Kors, Gucci, and Armani. With so many fabulous trendsetting designers moving away from fur, it's clear that the future of fashion is cruelty-free.

T.N.T.. – Complete recordings 2xLP
SKU: SKU-1580 Category: 12" Vinyl
One of the most important punk bands from Switzerland. 23 songs from 1979-1983 of catchy female fronted punk rock. By September 1978, the band TNT evolved out of the last formation of The Dogbodys. The members were: the guitarist Dani Grässle, Smudi Gross on bass and Gianni Luder playing drums. Sara Schär, a 14 year-old singer, replaced the British-born Ray Fairbrother, the last remaining founding member of The Dogbodys. As of March 1979, Phil Rust took over on drums from Gianni. On June 5, 1979, the label Voxpop released TNT's first single "Züri Brännt" (Zurich is burning). On the B-side "Subway Scene" and a third song called "131" (consisting of that number of words in the song). "Züri brännt" is still the best known Punk song to originate from Switzerland and it ultimately became the band's trademark. TNT's second single was released in April 1980 on the classic Swiss Punk record label, Off Course. The two tracks "Fight" and "Remember" are punchy and sound very much like the English Punk Rock of that time period. Yet, a third track called "Stupid Boy" was also recorded, but not included on the 7″ and then completely forgotten about. So, nearly 34 years later, "Stupid Boy" together with some other tracks are here for the first time available on vinyl. Alec von Tavel's label Disctrade then released TNT's third single in 1981. He was also responsible for the final mixing of the two songs "Razzia" (Roundup) and "They Robbed Us". much to the dismay of the musicians who didn't really approve. On February 2, 1981, Dani left Zurich for Berlin and Thomi Bickel from the group Sperma (Sperm) replaced him on guitar. The 10″ EP release "Eine kleine Machtmusik" (A small power music) followed, with 9 brand new songs recorded at the Pyramid Studio of Sara's father. However, the guitar tracks had to be redone later by Dani so that only "Clowns" is played by Bickel. You will not recognize all of those songs from that poor mixed record anymore. On this record they sound like real punkrock driven TNT songs! 2 Posters, Fullcolour Gatefold Sleeve. – STATIC AGE

H274Y (Histidine to Tyrosine) is the most common mutation conferring resistance to the drug Tamiflu in the neuraminidase N1 of Influenza A (e.g. H1N1, H5N1). Although resistant, this mutant N1 still binds Tamiflu weakly, and a crystal structure was obtained, 3ckz. Below, this is compared to the wild type, 2hu4], using structural alignment of a single protein chain:Tamiflu complex from each.
Why is the affinity of Tamiflu reduced by the mutation H274Y? Use the scenes below to help answer this question.
Tamiflu is shown as thick sticks. Atoms contacting Tamiflu (4 Å) are shown as balls. Amino acids that contain contacting atoms, plus amino acid 274, are shown as thin sticks. All other amino acids are hidden.
Atoms are colored by element: C, N, O (in protein), O (in water).

The PTA is a registered charity, registration no. 1042060.
These meetings are for all parents to attend so please come along and share your ideas with us.
It's still not too late! After a number of very successful years we are in desperate need for some new parents to start to get involved, as all the parents who currently hold the key association positions will be stepping down at the end of the next academic year. It would be a real shame if all the experience of the last 5-6 years was not passed onto the next generation of new parents over the coming 12 months. The PTA is a great way to get involved with making your child's school experience more fulfilled. We support the school on so many things. Any help is always gratefully received whether it is making teas and coffees, helping to lay out chairs or just giving fresh ideas or you can pop along to a meeting. Please look at the PTA noticeboard to see when the next meeting will be held.
We're a group of parent and staff volunteers who give their time to create better learning experiences for our children. Our fund raising generates much-needed income to support school budgets that will improve both the school and the links with the teachers to give all parents a say in their child's education and development. We are always looking for new ideas and any parents who have skills or contacts that we can utilise!
Don't be put off if you if you feel you can't give your time, haven't been asked or are unsure what's involved….
· Anytime you can give is welcome.
· Having a child at this school means you can join us.
· Being involved is a great way to get to know the school and other parents.
Throughout last year the PTA raised £7,000, our best fund-raising year yet!
The monies raised will be well spent and some of the projects included….
Summer Fair, Xmas Fayre, Movie Nights, Fashion Show, Sponsored Bounce, Non Uniform Days, Graduation Disco, Weekly ice cream and cake sales, Rotary Club Xmas Santa float. We made just over £1,100 profit at the Summer Fair, almost £1,200 on the bounce and just over £1,000 at our Christmas Fayre!
We will also be fully supporting the school again by entering the Leighton Linslade Carnival to defend our title from last year! Watch this space.


With sandy beaches, mild weather and a host of attractions to suit all tastes and ages, where better to visit than Nairn?
With a population of around 11,000, the town has been a popular holiday destination since the 19th century. The town and surrounding area has a host of places of interest, many of which are featured in the Nairn Leisure Guide, and all easily accessible, often by public transport.
A Christian cell was established in the 4th century and the town was granted its first royal charter by Alexander 1 in the 12th century. But people lived in the area long before the 4th century. Within a few miles of Nairn a number of cairns exist, dating from the late Neolithic/early Bronze Age. Many sites have suffered the ravages of time, but Clava Cairns, on the southern side of Culloden Moor, is a well-preserved example and well worth a visit.
Nairn is closely linked to the Battle of Culloden, the last land battle on mainland Britain. A trip to the visitor centre, 12 miles away, will give a fascinating insight into what happened to the Jacobites in 1745. Take a walk around the battlefield and remember how many men fell there fighting for what they believed in.
There is a Book & Arts Festival at the end of August. Other happenings in the town include the annual Highland Games and the Nairn Farmers' Show. And from June to August, the local pipe band gives occasional performances. Nairn is also ideally suited as a touring centre, allowing many interesting trips, north, south, east and west.
Closer to base and equally attractive is Nairn's own seafront, offering miles of sandy beaches extending east to the RSPB reserve and beyond to Culbin Forest.
Of the town's two beaches, the main Central Beach has been in receipt of the Tidy Britain Group's Seaside Award for a number of years. Illustrating the quality of water and surrounding facilities, this award is monitored to ensure that high quality is maintained, especially during the summer months. The beach has also been awarded a prestigious Blue Flag award in past years.
The Moray Firth is home to one of only two colonies of dolphins in the UK and they are often spotted from viewpoints along Nairn's shore. The seafront also hosts an active harbour, once a fishing port but now berthing mainly leisure craft, many of which regularly participate in the local sailing club races. Other boat owners offer trips to see the resident bottle-nose dolphins or simply to view Nairn from a different angle.
Ongoing improvements to the seafront ensure that this natural asset will remain for many years to come. Information is displayed on notice boards and on interpretative panels along the length of the seafront. Visitors can also take advantage of the facilities on offer at the nearby holiday park.
To get to the area, stroll down narrow Harbour Street and take in the small shops along the way. There is a superb general store, a tatooist, a number of excellent restaurants, and a bridal shop to name just a few.
The friendly service will take you back to days gone by when things were done at a slower pace – fitting for this old part of the town.
In addition Nairn seafront also offers areas of outstanding natural beauty such as Culbin Forest and Culbin Sands Nature Reserve, where many species of indigenous flora and fauna can be seen, as well as a large number of summer visiting birds and migratory flocks.
And for those who enjoy the invigorating sea air, there are magnificent views across the firth. The Sutors of Cromarty and the dark mass of Ben Wyvis to the north-west, the coastal stretch up to Tarbat Ness and the hills of Sutherland beyond form an enchanting backdrop.
There's so much to offer from Nairn as a base, all you have to do is take the time to enjoy it.
