Biographie
Le père d'Henry est Othon Guerlac, linguiste et Professeur à l'université Cornell à New York.

C'est à cette époque que se développe son intérêt pour l'histoire des sciences, aidé par George Sarton auprès duquel il étudie.

Il voyage en Europe et découvre à Paris un manuscrit inédit d'Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier, considéré comme le père de la chimie moderne. Ce manuscrit ainsi que d'autres éléments inédits seront étudiés dans son livre "Lavoisier: The Crucial Year".

Au cours de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, il a écrit, au sein du laboratoire Radiation du MIT avec Marie Boas Hall, "l'histoire du laboratoire et de l'utilisation opérationnelle du radar pendant la guerre". Boas Hall le rejoint plus tard en tant que doctorante à l'Université Cornell, où elle poursuit ses études en 1952 avec lui.

Après son passage à l'Université du Wisconsin et au laboratoire Radiation (MIT), il retourne à l'Université Cornell. Il y occupe en 1964 la chaire Goldwin Smith de Professeur d'histoire des sciences à Cornell, puis il passe professeur émérite en 1975. Il est également membre du .

Friends At The Falls Mirrors Message to "Be the Change"
July 22, 2020 July 22, 2020 Categories SongsFeaturedLeave a Comment on Friends At The Falls Mirrors Message to "Be the Change"
Press play on "Be the Change" by New York Alternative band, Friends At The Falls, and you will picture yourself dancing in an open field at a music festival. Friends At The Falls cites this exact idea as part of the story behind the new single. Band members Jake and Matt recall, "At the time, we were both looking to write an upbeat anthemic song, with a chorus that a crowd of fans could scream back at us." We can't praise them enough for capturing this feeling of endless summer and carefree atmosphere in a song.
Best Friends and Band Mates
Jake Stam and Matt Montgomery are lifelong best friends turned band members out of Croton Falls, NY. Jake went to school for audio production and began taking music and songwriting seriously after high school. Upon asking Matt to join him as a collaborator, Friends At The Falls was born in 2016.
Friends At The Falls began releasing Alternative Rock/Indie Pop music as a duo in 2018. Since their debut, the band feels they have improved their production and songwriting. After drawing inspiration from artists such as The Killers, Coldplay, and Springsteen, among others, they now pride themselves on their original sound.
Quick Q&A On "Be the Change"
POETYDANSLARUE: Can you talk about the story and writing process behind "Be the Change?"
Friends At The Falls: "At the time, Jake took inspiration from M83 and the idea that you can use your voice as an instrument. Jake made the "yell" sample in the intro and wrote the chord sequence on a synth. We were both looking to write an upbeat anthemic song, with a chorus that a crowd of fans could scream back at us."
PDLR: Is there anything special about this song that you would like to share with fans?
FATF: "We wrote the song two years ago and were waiting until the time felt right to release it. We ended every show with it, and we always received an overwhelming reaction from the crowd whenever we performed it. It's the song we're most proud of, and it's the one that we want people to know us by."
PDLR: How do you see this song fitting in with your current and future
discography?
FATF: "Our musical genre drifts somewhere between Alternative Rock and Indie Pop. This song is definitely the most "alternative rock" song we have, but we hope to have more songs in this direction with future releases."
PDLR: Do you have plans for a visual or another type of campaign to go along with "Be the Change?"
FATF: "The music video came out on July 12th (watch below). As far as other visuals go, a lot of desert vibes, and mirrors, focusing on one's self-desire to "be the change they've never been."
Uncertainty may be a defining quality of 2020, but the reflection proposed by Friends At The Falls is timeless. The message sits in an awe-inspiring upbeat track echoing in your head to simply "Be the Change."

Weekend Music for the Soul: "Drunk on Me" by J. Antonette
June 12, 2020 June 12, 2020 Categories InterviewsFeaturedLeave a Comment on Weekend Music for the Soul: "Drunk on Me" by J. Antonette
Songwriting is truly the art of telling your story through music. Artists and songwriters are the first to imagine the bones of a new song based on personal experiences. Those first elements are near and dear to an artist's heart and message. When these details of songwriting resonate with a broader audience, they create a feeling of mutual understanding between artist and listener. Today, Nashville country artist J. Antonette shares her story and collaborative insight behind her emotionally raw hit single "Drunk on Me."
// Introducing J. Antonette //
J. Antonette started her music career as a background singer for the well-known country-rock artist Melissa Etheridge. She then went on to backup Grammy Award Winning Artist Michael Bolton and open for a variety of country artists, including Jordan Davis and Tucker Beathard. Originally from NYC, Antonette has since relocated to pursue country music in Nashville. She currently releases music as well as collaborates with other artists as a songwriter.
We are excited to have the opportunity to speak with J. Antonette about the making of her recent single, "Drunk on Me," which addresses the difficulty of a relationship that you know may not be good for you.
"He drives my heart like he stole it"
PoetryDansLaRue: I love the rawness of "Drunk on Me." The clarity of the vocal and ballad-like style paints a clear picture. Can you tell us about the early stages of the song?
J. Antonette: "Thank you so much! While writing a different song with my friend Lyndee, she mentioned that she and another writer, Colleen Francis, had an idea that would be a great fit for me. Lyndee and I spoke about what I was going through in my personal life. When she sent me the work-tape, I immediately knew I had to be a part of this. At the time, I was with a person who displayed addictive tendencies. It felt like I was living the exact idea of the song. I loved it when he was drunk on me. The highs and lows. The thrills and the crash. I think I tend to get in these toxic relationships and cling to the good instead of all of the red flags. Many of us can relate to being love drunk at one point or another."
"The ladies were so wonderful to let me join in on the creation of it. I took some time sitting at a coffee shop with tears in my eyes. I wrote in some details from my relationship that I was in the process of leaving. This time allowed me to put my spin on it."
PDLR: I enjoy hearing how multiple perspectives combine to create a song that felt perfect for you at the time. How do you usually go about songwriting? Do you often work with other songwriters?
J. Antonette: "My process ranges from writing alone, in my apartment in the darkest hours of the night to weekly scheduled co-writes. I have about four writing sessions a week with different writers whom I admire or respect. I never want to be the best writer in the room. When I work with others who push me and are extremely talented, it helps make me a better writer."
"When it comes to how I write or what I write about, I usually pull from experiences that I'm going through at the time. If I feel passionate about a topic, that may inspire me as well. I love collaborating with other artists. It forces you to work harder instead of settling for what you believe is "good enough."
"Young, reckless, and free"
PDLR: I agree that working with others can only benefit you as an artist. Who else do you work with on your songs as far as instrumentation and production go?
J. Antonette: "For each of my songs thus far, I've worked with different producer friends! I'm blessed to be surrounded by incredible talent both in L.A, Nashville, and NYC. "Drunk On Me" was produced by Johnny Dibb with additional instrumentation by Tyler Tomlinson."
PDLR: Since you moved to Nashville, what opportunities have shaped you as a musician?
J. Antonette: "I think when you move to Nashville, you have to step up your game. Not just as a singer, but as a writer AND performer. You have to work harder than the person next to you. This town is home to the most talented musicians in the nation! I've had the opportunity to travel the world performing with musicians and write with new artists whom I admire. I've joined the community and performed at some amazing writers rounds in town. It's been a beautiful experience! My very first gig in Nashville was the well-known showcase, "Whiskey Jam."
PDLR: Do you have new songs coming out soon?
J. Antonette: "I have been writing my butt off! I do have plans to release new songs in 2020, but right now I have not decided on which to release. I'm trying to push myself to write my best work and then pick from them!"
"I love when he's drunk on me"
// For the Listener //
"Drunk on Me" is our take on a breakup song before you bid the final goodbye. The listener can feel the pull of the relationship where you know it's not right, but you stay anyway. There is a bittersweet side to the song when the singer shares the story from her point of view, "He doesn't look good on paper, I know his record shows, he's a little rough around the edges, but it's different when we are alone…"
We can picture this song being played in the car when you are questioning if something feels right or wrong. "Drunk on Me" by J. Antonette can be your next breakup song, comfort song, power song, or even love song. It is up to your interpretation of what the song means to you at a particular moment. The beauty of music begins with the songwriters' and artists' personal experiences but transfers wide and deep across endless barriers.

MR. MONACO to Release New Single "Blush" as Free Gift; Stresses Message of Unity
June 4, 2020 June 5, 2020 Categories SongsFeaturedLeave a Comment on MR. MONACO to Release New Single "Blush" as Free Gift; Stresses Message of Unity
On Wednesday, June 3rd, Los Angeles artist MR. MONACO, formerly of the band MONACO, announced the following message to fans about his new single "Blush":
The singer also released this detailed statement:
"As many of you know, the new single was already scheduled for release and sent to music stores for June 5th. However, given the tragic murder of George Floyd, it has caused all of us to pause and reflect on our own lives and how we should take time to understand one another better. We must unite against evil. I still believe love is stronger than hate; that good can overcome evil. But not apart. We are better together. We are stronger together.
That said, despite the single already being sent out to streaming platforms (which was done months ago), I decided to make it available to download for free as a gift. I hope this can serve as a blessing and bring joy to everyone amid all the suffering and pain people are feeling right now.
If you still choose to stream the song, I encourage you to donate to charities of your own choice, to the Floyd family, as well as black business owners and families in need.
We all need each other. There is strength in our unity. Perfect love casts out ALL fear.
– Daniel"

First Listen: "Blush"
"Blush" premieres exclusively on our blog today. It will be available on streaming platforms as a free download to everyone. Listen to the Phantom of the Opera inspired single below and continue reading for more insight on the revamped sound of the newly solo artist.
Introducing MR. MONACO
Since we last spoke with Daniel Davis of MONACO, some major changes have occurred. Davis recently revealed that he is now pursuing a solo career under the moniker MR. MONACO. "Blush" is the first single of this new era and the first glimpse for fans into the newer sound.
The artist elaborates on the concept of "Blush," "the single is part of an upcoming project inspired by my modern take on The Phantom of the Opera. The protagonist in the song is pursuing the girl and is praising everything he loves about her." You can hear the musical influence from the iconic play in the production and instrumentation (cue after the chorus). The story centers around the idea of a masquerade ball in a nightclub and substitutes pop music for the classical opera.
Davis explains, "The single is one of many that display my influences growing up. From Michael Jackson, Prince, Charlie Wilson, to Ne-Yo, Justin Timberlake, Maroon 5, and Israel Houghton." "The upcoming project has eclectic influences such as indie-pop, R&B, Gospel, and Hip-Hop."
We hope that this music brings you joy. Music is something that comforts us and helps us find the words when we cannot. We can all DO better and dig deeper within ourselves to BE better. We should not shy away from the things that help us to become better.

Last Vacation Talks New Single, Music Video, and The 1975
May 15, 2020 May 15, 2020 Categories InterviewsFeaturedLeave a Comment on Last Vacation Talks New Single, Music Video, and The 1975
Our most recent interview with Last Vacation has been a long time in the making. Flashback to March 11th, our chats about quarantine were nonexistent but imminent. Fast forward a few days later, and schools closed, tours were canceled, and stay at home orders were upon us. Amid all the chaos, Last Vacation released their anthemic single, "How Could You Hurt Somebody You Love?" on April 17th.
The Boston band has been not so sneaky about their references to The 1975 during the promotion of "How Could You Hurt Somebody You Love." They even changed their Instagram bio to "A not so good version of The 1975." We beg to differ, though, and would argue that they are underestimating their unique sound. While fans can surely pinpoint the connections in their work, the distinct vocal and pop-punk feel of the new single does not line up all that much with the Manchester band.
Let's jump into our interview and dig a bit deeper into the making of "How Could You Hurt Somebody You Love…"
PoetryDansLaRue: Can you take us back to the early days of "HCYHSYL?"
Last Vacation: "This is a song that we wanted to release for a long time. We wrote it about a year ago and now feels like the perfect time to put it out there. "Eternal Romantic" was a slight jump for us, but I think that "HCYHSYL" is more of where we are now."
PDLR: I'm curious about the process and the backstory of "HCYHSYL" since it is a breakup song…
Last Vacation: "We wrote this one a bit differently. One thing that we were inspired by was something that Blink 182 did on their self-titled album. They each wrote a separate verse and then fit the pieces together. In the case of "HCYHSYL," Travis Rutzel, the singer, wrote the first half of the song. Then, I (Scott Anderson, drummer) wrote the second half of it, including the choruses. We never wrote a song this way before, Travis was always more of the lyricist."
"In regards to the lyrics, I was seeing somebody at the time and recently started dating someone else. The relationship fell apart rather quickly, and the feeling of betrayal led me to the phrase "How Could You Hurt Somebody You Love?" I think we were all able to relate to that as a band and realize how it could connect with a broader audience. Everyone has that question for somebody, and you are that question for somebody else. It seems to resonate well with people."
PDLR: How has "HCYHSYL" translated with a live audience?
Last Vacation: "We noticed over time that it stands out in our set and people seem to respond well to it. We recently did a couple of shows back in early March with PHANGS and Hand Made House, and we were happy with the reaction. We would like to branch out with that song a bit and maybe do a couple of remixes. I was also thinking of doing an acoustic version since we wrote it acoustically. It seems to be THE song. We believe in it, and it's the most honest track."
PDLR: How did the video come together for "HCYHSYL?"
Last Vacation: "The video was inspired by how some of The 1975 aesthetic looks very retro, but not really at the same time. It has a lot of neon and high colors. We filmed it in single shots where you see one of us at a time. There's some splitting and stuff like that. It was kind of a choice to film it that way. It's been about a year since we released our first video, so this one is pretty big for us."
There is no doubt that Last Vacation is talented. In this time of self-discovery and reflection, we advise them to continue to define and develop their unique sound.

"Heroine" by Jotsey will Haunt your Headphones
May 8, 2020 May 9, 2020 Categories SongsFeaturedLeave a Comment on "Heroine" by Jotsey will Haunt your Headphones
Photo by Nathan Ellerton
Do you ever try to gauge whether a song speaks to you within the first seconds? If it doesn't, you may skip it and move on. If it does, however, it's the best feeling in the world. Music fans and record labels often search for songs that check all the right boxes. "Heroine" by Jotsey flawlessly hits every mark, while eerily leaving you wanting more.
// First Impressions
Manchester, U.K. singer/songwriter Jotsey, released his third single "Heroine" on April 17th. The addictive track radiates inspiration from the likes of Billie Eilish and Bon Iver. Within seconds, listeners enthrall in bouts of mystery, hushed vocals, and blunt lyrics. Furthermore, "Heroine" delivers a remarkable first impression for the critically trained ear.
As we dig deeper into "Heroine," we encompass ourselves in several emotions. A haunting introduction builds suspense while piquing curiosity. Soft vocals convey a sense of urgency. Lyrics like, "And you can keep saying that your pride's intact // I overdosed, overdosed on you," paint an image of love turned tragedy.
// The Perfect Prescription
A listener's reaction to something new often relates to their prior connections to music. In the case of "Heroine," be prepared to go down a nostalgic rabbit hole. Trust us when we say that one of these comparisons is bound to spark your attention.
The style of "Heroine" echos Troye Sivan's vulnerable tracks, "The Good Side" and "Talk You Down."
Jotsey's succinct vocal is reminiscent of an acoustic Luke Hemmings cover (see ukelele version of "Heroine").
Some argue that the eerie production on the song reflects Billie Eilish's "When The Party's Over."
Fans of The Spill Canvas and Manchester Orchestra may hear hints of "Connect the Dots" or "Colly Strings."
While these references may not be deliberate, "Heroine" undeniably fuses emotion-evoking qualities into the ideal blend. The seductive production, whisper-like vocal, and unfiltered lyrics make it the perfect prescription for today's music industry.
Stream "Heroine" available on all platforms and keep up with Jotsey below!

February 28, 2020 March 1, 2020 Categories SongsFeaturedLeave a Comment on Phavors Debuts Pensive, Breathtaking Single "Petals"
Have you ever heard a song that made you feel like it was speaking directly to you? It could be the emotion it gives off, the nostalgia that it might bring about, or the lyrics that pertain to something you are facing at that moment. The debut single "Petals" by New Jersey ambient indie-rock and folk duo, Phavors, is a call upon coming to terms with yourself in the most beautiful way.
Phavors consists of songwriter, producer, and recording artist Phil Marflak alongside the vocals of Kayla DeRosa. The two recently formed to give life to songs that Marflak wrote for his final project at Berklee. Today we have the opportunity to speak with Phil about the new single during this exciting time for the group.
"Love Can Stain Like Flowers Stain an Open Field"
"Petals" quickly draws listeners in to a calming and self-reflecting journey. The song has remnants of Sigur Ros and Bon Iver, both of whom mentioned by Phavors as inspiration for the track. Soothing vocals from Kayla DeRosa cut through with a bit of raspiness à la Billie Eilish. The eerie acoustic genre also sets the tone for the mood of the song.
Marflak recalls the beginning of the songwriting process, "The assignment was to produce a three-song EP of another artist or yourself. I wanted to use it as an opportunity to release my music. "Petals" took about four months to write, record, and mix and was mastered during the fifth month."
When it came to recording the songs, this is when DeRosa stepped in, and some revamping occurred. Marflak explains, "Petals" didn't always have an acoustic guitar intro. It started as a different genre altogether."
"Petals Fall, One by One"
While the meaning of "Petals" is up for interpretation, the theme of the EP relates to honesty and facing hard truths. Marflak admits, "It's about learning to process what is happening, recognizing the ambiguous nature of life and our emotions. It is about accepting what may be challenging to accept."
He goes on to add, "Petals" is fitting as the lead single because I feel that it is the best of the three songs. This song means a lot to me, and I think that it is an excellent vessel for the message behind introducing Phavors. We want to welcome honesty and vulnerability, even when things are challenging."
Going along the lines of the theme of the EP, Marflak gives us some insight, "Petals" is about self-reflection and admitting something that may be difficult to accept about yourself. It's about the process of self-improvement and understanding your flaws. These things are natural and okay, and there's always a way to improve."
"Oh, I Wish the Wind Would Blow These Petals Away
Oh, I'll Keep Just One and Look at it Some Days"
"Petals" by Phavors is the perfect mix of sonic ingredients, alluring vocals, and thought-provoking lyrics. The debut single suggests that though life is full of ups and downs, there is always a way to move forward.

February 13, 2020 February 16, 2020 Categories InterviewsFeaturedLeave a Comment on On the Rise: The Perfect "Time" for FABER
South London soulful singer-songwriter, FABER, celebrates the release of new single "Time" as PoetryDansLaRue's On the Rise artist of the month. FABER's passion for music, embedded from her youth, came to fruition with the release of her first EP 'I AM' in 2018. The momentum from the EP shines through in her powerful, yet mournful track "Time" released Wednesday. Today we delve deeper into the track for an exclusive interview with FABER.
JoBros Inspo
PoetryDansLaRue: I saw that you took an interest in music at a very young age. When did you begin writing your songs?
FABER: "I started writing music when I was in my early to mid-teens. I have a graveyard of unused tunes on my laptop that never developed into something more. I remember loving the Jonas Brothers when they first became famous, and that spurred me on to write a lot. Specific moments stick out in my mind from my childhood. I remember when I was about five years old, I made up a silly hook after "bath time" and would sing it all the time. My sister and I still laugh about it to this day. "
Strong Support System
PDLR: Who helped you along the way to achieve your goals in music since then?
FABER: "My friend Tom, who I wrote "Time" with, has significantly helped develop my writing. He's a fantastic pianist and comes up with incredible harmonies. I feel like we understand each other when we write. We are always on the same wavelength.
My family and friends play a huge role in supporting me, as well. They always come to my gigs and encourage me to do things if I'm too shy or hesitant. They believe that no goal is unreachable."
"Time Heals the Wounds Love Makes"
PDLR: "Time" is an emotionally raw and transparent single. Can you go deeper into the story and tell us about the background?
FABER: "Time" is about the pain of being endlessly available for someone you love, and the unbearable yearn for them to give you the same attention that you give them. It's about obedience in love, but also knowing when to call it quits. I wrote the opening verse when someone I was seeing canceled on me for the umpteenth time. I felt weighed down with sadness and self-loathing, but on the other hand, I could not stop myself from pining for their affection."
PDLR: You mentioned writing the song with Tom Althorpe. Can you talk about that collaboration and the process of how the song came together?
FABER: "I remember walking into my parent's bedroom after the guy just canceled, and with a heavy sigh, I sang out the first verse without any thought. I already knew how the song went. I felt the pain so deeply I think it just poured out of me straight away. After that, I wrote a few more lyrics and then brought it to Tom to help me mold it. I'm a simpleton when it comes to chords, so he did the goods on this one! We sat in our university rehearsal rooms for a bit and wrote the rest together. I have the video I recorded of us making it on my Instagram."
"Always thought that you were right for me, you've always made me sing from the heart…"
Album on the Horizon
PDLR: Can you reveal any plans for 2020?
FABER: "In 2020, I am dreaming some things into existence! With some luck and a sprinkle of fairy dust, hopefully, we will see my debut album come out, with a few singles leading up to it. I've got a few big shows booked and am overall very excited to see where things lead."
"Time" is a song that immediately draws you in and forces you to feel the heartbreak that FABER recounts. It is a 'hook you on the first listen' type of track that will have you widening your eyes and applauding her vocal strength and poise.

On the Rise: The Young Something
January 13, 2020 January 13, 2020 Categories InterviewsFeaturedLeave a Comment on On the Rise: The Young Something
The Tampa, Florida alternative-pop duo, The Young Something, inspired a new feature on PoetryDansLaRue with their angsty, and captivating tunes. This month, the group appears on the blog as the first "On the Rise" artist of 2020. The young duo recently released a new dreamlike single, "She" on January 10th. Today we chat with Alex Bonyata and Bella Beyer of The Young Something about their journey as artists, turning points in their career, and "She."
Young Start
PoetryDansLaRue: How long have you worked together, and how did you start as artists?
The Young Something: "We started making music together in 2015. We did a summer songwriting program in high school called 'The Grammy Museum's Music Revolution Project.' The program sparked us to write together, and eventually, it grew outside of that. We haven't stopped writing since. It will be about five years of us working together. For the first two years, we were an acoustic indie-folk duo (under the name AB+). Around the beginning of 2018, we rebranded, changed our name, developed our new sound, and became The Young Something."
PDLR: What other changes did you make to your band when you changed your name?
TYS: "We played as a duo for the early part of our career. We wanted to be able to rock out on stage, so we brought in a full band. We got a drummer and a bassist. Several different musicians step in. It's great to be able to expand."
'About This' EP
PDLR: The new EP, 'About This,' sounds very indie-pop-punk. What sounds or influences were you thinking of when you developed your introduction EP as The Young Something?
TYS: "Our sound went from indie-folk to more so alternative-pop on this EP. We have always been big fans of Jack Antonoff as a producer and songwriter. We are also fans of Lorde, so when those two collaborated for her album, that played a huge part in inspiring the sound on our EP."
Notable Moments
PDLR: What are some career highlights that you have experienced since you've worked together as The Young Something?
TYS: "We have had some pretty incredible opportunities. One of our most notable moments is that we played in support of Ringo Starr! We did SXSW for the first time in 2019, and we recently got confirmation that we will be a part of 2020 SXSW as well."
"She"-January 10th Anthemic Single
PDLR: How does your new single "She" compare or differ from your other tracks?
TYS: "It is a rather anthemic track to add to our musical repertoire. When we write songs, it feels like such a journey, and I (Bella) feel strongly connected to this song. We were eager to put it out and see the response. "She" has a slightly different vibe from our other tracks."
"I see you. Got that original style, Lana Del Rey smile, confidence that goes for miles.."
"She" one hundred percent exudes the signature style à la Jack Antonoff that The Young Something mention as inspiration for their songs. The vocal is soft and soothing while the production adds a yearning and urgent call to emotion. The lyrics could be a page torn from Taylor Swift's diary. The single paints the perfect picture of longing in a dramatic, 'scream-your-heart-out, driving with the windows down' pop anthem.
The Young Something has an exciting 2020 ahead and plans to release several singles throughout the beginning of the year. The group is looking forward to SXSW and hopes to build a wider-range tour shortly after. Stream "She" on all music platforms and follow The Young Something on social media below.

ESNY's New York Islanders 2018-19 Preview: Lou's team, Lou's vision
Matt Di Giacomo
Spencer Hazen, ESNY Graphic, Getty Images
Lou Lamoriello's plan for the 2018-19 NHL season rebuilt the New York Islanders management while making some divisive on-ice acquisitions.
Regardless of the overall outcome, the New York Islanders 2018-19 season is a historic milestone in franchise history.
From bidding farewell to John Tavares to making some seemingly hesitant free agency signings, the Islanders have had a tumultuous offseason, to say the least.
As they welcome the post-JT era, Mathew Barzal is left as the man in charge of the first-line alongside breakout candidate Anthony Beauvillier and next to Josh Bailey, who's looking to show he's way more than an accessory to Tavares after back-to-back career seasons on his side.
This season's theme revolves around the word 'culture', and it's something that's been touted by new management since their arrival on Long Island.
Newly appointed GM & President of operations Lou Lamoriello hired the 2018 Stanley Cup-winning coach, who brought along some of his championship staff in both Lane Lambert and Mitch Korn.
Here are all the on-ice changes that have taken place so far for the Islanders:
Notable Subtractions:
Brandon Davidson, Calvin de Haan, Jaroslav Halak, Alan Quine, Shane Prince, Dennis Seidenberg, John Tavares, Chris Wagner
Notable Additions:
Valtteri Filppula, Leo Komarov, Tom Kuhnhackl, Matt Martin, Robin Lehner, Luca Sbisa
The Islanders suffered a big hit in the wake of the departure of Tavares. There's no other way to phrase it.
In spite of the departure of their long-time captain and franchise player, Mathew Barzal is ready to steer clear of a sophomore slump and help emerge as a leader in a painful beginning to an otherwise optimistic chapter in Islanders history.
Welcoming The Vets
Some of the Islanders first signings under Lamoriello have included Komarov, Filppula and Lehner. Tavares' departure shifts the Islanders' priorities with regards to their future rather than their immediate plans.
Lamoriello is keeping his word to everyone on the Islanders' radar in that they will all have a chance to showcase their abilities, but the veterans go first. Komarov enters as a replacement to Nikolay Kulemin, playing a conservative two-way game in the bottom-six and will see a lot of penalty killing time.
Filppula provides the Islanders with some center depth on the fourth line and a second option on the penalty kill. Kuhnhackl, Ross Johnston and eventually Andrew Ladd will likely serve as the set of rotating scratches on offense.
One confusing but welcome move was to bring back Matt Martin from Toronto after the Islanders extended Johnston for the next four seasons and already signed Kuhnhackl.
The late addition of Luca Sbisa gives the Islanders some depth on defense, but hopefully only as an extra.

Critics of these transactions cite one important underlying factor all these newly-acquired players share: overwhelmingly poor advanced statistics.
All of these players' are well below 50 percent in possession, and especially so with Filppula who quarterbacked the NHL's 29th ranked penalty-kill in Philadelphia and often saw mismatches under head coach Dave Hackstol.
Regardless of that, a 15 or 20 game sample under the watchful eye of Lamoriello and Trotz should give them enough to make decisions going forward. Filppula and Komarov are the only two forwards who will definitely stay given their contracts making it harder to predict how much each skater will play.
Projected Veteran Stats
Leo Komarov 82 8 15 23
Valtteri Filppula 78 15 25 40
The New Look Top 6
Though it took an undeniable hit this offseason, the Islanders top-six still has plenty left to get the job done on a night-to-night basis with a reinforced bottom-six full of veterans.
After winning the Calder Trophy as the NHL's top rookie, tying an Islander record with 63 assists and a century-old league record with three different five-point games in his rookie season, Mathew Barzal is ready to lead the Islanders.
Though he'll certainly get a lot more attention than last season, Barzal has proven since his breakout goal against the New York Rangers last season that he's the real deal.
Entering the season as the Islanders' top player, center and scorer, Barzal pairs up with one familiar linemate in Anthony Beauvillier and one new linemate in Josh Bailey.
There's no reason to believe Barzal's production should slow down drastically, even when facing tougher competition on a nightly basis. Barzal continues to prove his awareness, puck handling and instincts are at an elite level and will only get better under a regime that knows how to win — pencil him in for another 82-90 points.
Beauvillier is primed for a breakout season, scoring at a 30-goal, 60-point pace in his second call-up this past January. Alongside Barzal, it shouldn't be hard for Beauvillier to earn his first 30-goal season with consistent playing time, or another 20 goals at the very least.
In back-to-back seasons with the Islanders, Bailey set career highs with 56 points in 2016-17 and 71 points this past season. Bailey signed a six-year extension with the Islanders last season and will be determined to show he did more than play second fiddle to Tavares last season.
His numbers going down is an inevitable side effect, but Bailey should cement himself as a consistent mid-50's to 60-point scorer this season alongside arguably more raw talent this year.
Anders Lee earned his first 40-goal season in 2017-18 and is looking for a repeat this year. It seems he'll likely start out the year with Nelson, and so long as Beauvillier continues his ascendancy it seems unlikely he'll see much 5-on-5 ice time with Barzal. Alongside Nelson for 82 games, even one that's in need of a new contract, likely won't produce a repeat season but a 30-goal season should be in order for Lee.
Defensively, breakout rookie Ryan Pulock has 'officially' won the spot on defense that was fought over last season in the absence of Travis Hamonic. Pulock has refined his game over the last half of the 2017-18 season and continued to improve under the guide of Trotz.
With 10 goals and 32 points in 68 games last season, Pulock can easily add to those figures with more consistent playing time both at 5-on-5 and on the powerplay.
Though not on the current roster, expect to see Devon Toews on the squad before the end of the calendar year. Toews' designation to Bridgeport is no disservice to the AHL's best defenseman.
Toews hasn't skated in a regular season game since Dec. 2017 and could use some consistent playing time to get fully primed this season. Toews should start his season by around December or January and should easily be good for at least 30 points in a top-four role.
The kids are going to be a big part of how the Isles perform next season, and this is what their numbers may look like.
Projected Rookie Stats
Mathew Barzal 82 21 65 86
Anthony Beauvillier 82 33 19 52
Ryan Pulock 78 16 25 41
Devon Toews 54 9 22 31
Turnarounds In Net
Robin Lehner was brought in early July to help the Isles address their porous goals-against figures. Lehner knows his one-year, $1.5 million contract could be his last in the NHL if he doesn't make this one of his all-time best.
Lehner's performance in 2017-18 (.908 SV%) was far from his ceiling. In each of the two seasons prior, he posted .920 and .924 save percentages respectively. The history is there to back his capabilities and the Islanders should be far, far better defensively next season with their new coaching in place.
Thomas Griess finds himself in similar waters, posting NHL-worst numbers in goaltending among goalies with at least 20 starts. Greiss established himself in 2015-16 posting a .925 save percentage and forcing the Islanders through the Florida Panthers in the first round of the playoffs.
Greiss' workload increased in 2016-17 during the three-goalie conundrum and finished with a .913 SV% after 10 more starts than the year before. Most importantly, Greiss spent this past offseason with former goalie coach Adam Francilia, who trained both Devan Dubnyk and Connor Hellebyuck.
Helping the transition back to form are the new members of the Isles' goaltending staff, Mitch Korn and Piero Greco. For those unaware, some of the goaltenders Korn has worked with include Dominik Hasek, Pekka Rinne, and Braden Holtby — Korn's reputation speaks for itself.
Though the 2017-18 season was not good to either goalie, both have more incentive than ever to turn their careers around, and both should see vastly improved numbers.
Robin Lehner 52 2.67 .918 25 19 8
Thomas Greiss 30 2.54 .921 16 7 7
Regular-Season Projections
The Islanders are now a more competitive team from a managerial standpoint than they've been at any point in the last decade, and arguably in their history.
The foundation is being laid for rookies who are beginning their ascendancy to the NHL, and Lamoriello made sure that plenty of Stanley Cup experience was in that locker room. With that said, managerial success doesn't improve what is a mediocre on-ice product going into the season.
It's more than obvious that not enough has been done yet, and given that Lamoriello has been fielding calls, he knows it. Whether it's a dry trade market or if the asking prices are too high is unknown, but more is sure to come as the season get started.
Given the roster at hand, the Islanders should have enough to be able to make the playoff race interesting for an extended amount of time, but it's hard to see this roster (as-is) in contention after the deadline.
There are going to be many moving parts as the season goes on, and expect to see trades, names going up and down between the Isles and Bridgeport, and a very renewed way of running things from a pedigree staff.
Metropolitan Division Projections
Pittsburgh Penguins 50 25 7 104
Philadelphia Flyers 45 28 9 99
Columbus Blue Jackets 46 32 4 96
Washington Capitals 43 30 9 95
New Jersey Devils 42 31 9 93
New York Islanders 40 35 7 87
Carolina Hurricanes 35 36 10 81
New York Rangers 34 37 6 74
The New York Islanders simply have what it takes to make the playoffs.
Already written off by almost every expert and analyst, the underdog role suits them well and will serve as a motivator. If the defense and goaltending tighten up – which it certainly has throughout the preseason – there's no reason to think that this team can't succeed when playing to their full potential.
Until they hit the ice for a regular-season game, it will be difficult to see who the real New York Islanders are, so, for now, I'm pegging them at sixth in the Metropolitan Division.
Simply put, there are better teams on paper that made the playoffs last year and have a good chance at doing so yet again.

Q: laravel project routes not working on shared hosting I am facing problem while uploading my laravel project to shared server, microsoft azure. I can't access routes other than / . My route file has following code :
Route::get(/, function () {
    return view('welcome');
});

Route::auth();

Route::get('/home', 'HomeController@index');

It's basically I used php artisan make:auth to generate login signup default functionality.
I can access my /route by visiting :
http://40.121.138.22/monrostudio/public/
But can't visit other routes like /login, /register or any other I created.

A: The page that loads for http://40.121.138.22/monrostudio/public/ according to your link should load when you go to the root route like http://40.121.138.22/ or http://40.121.138.22/home.
This is how I would troubleshoot it:
1) go to the control panel of your hosting provider and make sure you installed and configured your Laravel project in the public folder or public_html, whatever your hosting provider instructions say
2) make sure your set up your domain's DNS according to your host's instructions (I'm 99% sure its not an issue but its worth checking.  Hosting Laravel on shared servers is not very straightforward, as I recently found out myself.
3) Check your routes file. Make sure you have you have routes to all the pages you want to go pointing to the existing controllers. Controller for auth is app\Http\Controllers\Auth\AuthController.php. The AuthController is the one that sends users down the login and register path. It is also the one that redirects registered users away from register page and logged in users away from login page.

A: I believe you haven't setup Mod_Rewrite on your server.
Follow below steps for enabling mod_rewrite for Apache Server.
sudo nano /etc/apache2/apache2.conf

(Open apache config file, And find below lines)
<Directory /var/www/html>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride None
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

and change it to
<Directory /var/www/html>
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride All
    Order allow,deny
    allow from all
</Directory>

Then
sudo a2enmod rewrite

And finally
sudo service apache2 restart

And then you will see it working.
Hope it helps.

Synagoga w Chełmży – nieistniejąca synagoga, która znajdowała się w Chełmży. Na jego terenie znajduje się obecnie Szpital dziecięcy. Sam szpital znajduje się na ulicy Szewskiej ale tablica jest zawieszona na ul. Hallera.

Historia

Synagoga została zbudowana w pod koniec lat 80. XIX wieku. Po przyłączeniu Chełmży do Polski w 1920 roku i wyjeździe większości członków gminy żydowskiej w synagodze nabożeństwa odprawiano jedynie sporadycznie. Podczas II wojny światowej hitlerowcy zburzyli synagogę. Po zakończeniu wojny nie została odbudowana.

14 maja 2008 roku odsłonięta została tablica pamiątkowa, upamiętniająca synagogę oraz miejscową społeczność żydowską. Tablica powstała z inicjatywy nauczycieli i uczniów Gimnazjum w Pluskowęsach, przy wsparciu Fundacji Ochrony Dziedzictwa Żydowskiego oraz Starostwa Powiatowego w Toruniu. Na tablicy znajduje się wizerunek synagogi, gwiazdy Dawida oraz tekst w języku polskim:
 "W tym miejscu stała synagoga zburzona w 1939 r. Niech ta tablica przypomina o życiu i zagładzie Żydów w Chełmży"

Architektura

Murowany budynek synagogi wzniesiono na planie prostokąta z dwoma dobudówkami od zachodu ujmującymi po bokach wejście, w stylu neogotyckim. Całość była kryta dachem dwuspadowym. W narożnikach dachu oraz dobudówek znajdowały się wieżyczki nakryte cebulastymi kopułkami, co nadawało synagodze orientalny charakter.

Centralną część synagogi zajmowała prostokątna główna sala modlitewna, którą z trzech stron otaczały dębowe galerie dla kobiet. Wnętrze oświetlały lampy gazowe oraz osiem bądź dziesięć wysokich, półokągle zakończonych okien.

TIFF Review: $5 A Day
Sep. 8. 2008 8:05 PM
There are only two types of Christopher Walken movies: the terrible ones that are somehow watchable because of Walken's presence, and the good ones that just happen to feature a classic Walken performance. Because Walken seemingly tries to make at least 5 movies a year, thus never turning down a script, there's just no predicting how films like his newest, $5 A Day, will turn out.
Simply put, Nat (Walken) is a man who enjoys taking advantage of life. He revels in his ability to win daily prizes from radio station contests (then cash them in), drink complimentary coffee from hotel lobbies, and drive the pink and white Sweet N' Low car that he won free use of for a year (with gas!). Nat is a hustler, and a good one too. He's able to attain almost everything he wants and needs, all for a measly $5 a day. The one thing that Nat doesn't have, however, is what he desires most of all: a closer relationship with his son, Flynn (Alessandro Nivola). But Flynn has problems of his own: he's just lost his job, his girlfriend is leaving him because of his secretive personality, and now Nat is calling to say that he's dying (which Flynn doesn't believe is true). With nowhere else to turn, Flynn reluctantly agrees to drive his father to New Mexico for experimental treatment, and nothing short of hilarity ensues.
At its core, $5 A Day is a film about the reconstruction of a fractured bond between father and son. Walken and Nivola play their parts to perfection, slowly building their characters and then giving the audience ample opportunity to love them, laugh at them, and most importantly, care for them. Director Nigel Cole does a wonderful job in setting up the film's story and then guiding his actors through scenes on the strength of their chemistry. $5 A Day may follow the story of two hustlers, but its depictions of love and family are genuine, a true celebration of the exuberance of life.

Banyan | Japanese politics
Ozawa bows out
Naoto Kan wins the battle to lead Japan with a landslide. Now for the hard part
By H.T. | TOKYO
SO MUCH for Ichiro Ozawa's famed electoral genius. After a nail-biting ballot, in which Naoto Kan, the prime minister, and Mr Ozawa, his brooding challenger, sat just feet away from each other, eyes shut, meditating intensely, Mr Kan won handsomely.
The three pillars of the ruling Democratic Party of Japan (DPJ) who voted—parliamentarians, local assembly members and rank-and-file supporters—all gave Mr Kan more votes to continue as party leader, and by extension as prime minister, a post he has only held since June. Among the DPJ's 406 MPs, Mr Kan won 206 votes; among the assembly members, he achieved a support rate of 60%; and among the rank-and-file, he won almost five times as much support as Mr Ozawa. It was a good result for Japan. If Mr Ozawa had pulled off a surprise victory, it would have been a slap in the face to the public, which loathes him, just when the Japanese are tentatively learning the power of their own voice in politics. It may well have undermined faith in the political transition the DPJ unleashed when it beat the Liberal Democrat Party (LDP) last year. But whether or not Mr Kan has the leadership ability to fulfil something of the voters' aspirations, as he promised in his victory speech, is a different matter.
In Japan's murky politics, this result should at least make two things clear: Mr Ozawa is not the force he and his supporters thought he was; nor should he be able any longer to pull the strings of the DPJ from behind the scenes. He may have helped orchestrate the party's historic victory last September, and set in train political reforms that helped end Japan's long-history of one-party rule. But personally, he is to most voters like a mouthful of dirty dishwater—soiled by financial scandal, lacking in transparency and accountability: in short, a throwback to the type of LDP politics they hoped to get rid of last year.
The size of Mr Kan's victory makes it harder, too, for Mr Ozawa to try splitting the DPJ out of pique. His supporters insisted before the vote that he would remain loyal to the party, whatever the outcome. Students of his mercurial ways may find that unlikely, but even if he were to abandon the DPJ, only the most politically suicidal of his comrades would now be likely to follow him. An uneasy compromise with Mr Kan may be marginally more likely. Now, at least, Mr Kan can claim to have the upper hand.
Some, of course, will lament the result, including those desperados in the stockmarket who yearn for any sort of shock—however cynically orchestrated—to jolt Japan out of its economic and financial lethargy. There are many reasons to doubt that Mr Kan has the charisma and skill to re-energise the country. He has failed to use the election campaign to spell out the need for vigorous economic reform. He has not yet reached out to rival parties to overcome the parliamentary gridlock he will face for having lost the DPJ's upper-house majority in July.
But Mr Kan's victory represents a vote in favour of democratic accountability, and against the discredited special-interest politics favoured by Mr Ozawa. The prime minister has personally reaffirmed a strand of the DPJ that stands in support of the interests of individuals, against the tribal politics so characteristic of Japan under the LDP. The country needs its individuals. It needs their energy and their creativity, and not the deadening groupthink that has kept Japan in economic stagnation for the past 20 years. Mr Kan may not be the best man to articulate that, and it may take years before Japan is galvanized by such thinking. But Tuesday's election was a meaningful step in the right direction.

An £8m improvement scheme to upgrade street lights, cut carbon emissions and reduce light pollution is under way in Newcastle.
Cllr Arlene Ainsley, cabinet member for transport and air quality at Newcastle City Council, with Sean Middleton, project manager at SSE Enterprise Contracting.
The scheme, which will see around 34,000 street lights replaced across the city, will also result in annual savings of around £1.4m through the use of more energy-efficient technology.
Newcastle City Council is working with SSE Enterprise Contracting to replace the old sodium lights with new LED ones that give off a whiter light for improved visibility.
The LED lights are longer lasting and less likely to fail than traditional street lights, so maintenance costs are also expected to be lower.
Cllr Arlene Ainsley, cabinet member for transport and air quality, said: "We are investing in more efficient street lighting across our city which will reduce both our energy costs and our carbon footprint.
"The new LED lights are much more environmentally friendly than the older sodium lights and, because the light is focused down to the ground rather than being emitted in all directions, they produce a lot less light pollution.
"This investment will not only result in better and more consistent street lighting across the city, it will also help us to reduce our impact on the environment."
George Marshall, operations manager at SSE Enterprise Contracting, said: "We are delighted to be working in partnership with Newcastle City Council as part of its LED replacement programme.
"With early design input, the LED technology will offer a modern, cost efficient street lighting solution. Our experienced operatives and technical support teams will help deliver both our customers' and our own carbon neutral aspirations."
Work to replace street lights began in the west end of the city and the scheme is expected to be complete by summer 2021.


Terrorists call themselves brave soldiers however, they are not real soldiers. There has been about more than just 125,000 attacks between the years 1970-2013, not including recent terrorist attacks, for example the attack in Paris just a few weeks ago. People in 22 of the 23 countries -surveyed believe that the war in Iraq hasn't weakened the te Terrorism is widespread around the world. The media plays a large role in the Middle East. The Al Qaeda terrorist attacks were an input that has disrupted social systems balance and has forced changes while Terrorism attempts to force political-social change. With the mangroves gone, the Karachi coastline is now more prone to natural disasters such as cyclones and tsunamis. The Jacobins cited this precedent when imposing a Reign of Terror during the French Revolution.
The divided political leadership is unable even to infuse a sense of purpose in security agencies to move beyond their routine bureaucratic turf battles. They never compromise their friends, family, innocent kids, woman and old people. In addition to the socio-political and economic aspects, the psychological, emotional and religious aspects are also involved in the problem. To answer the question Will we ever be able to fully stop terrorists and their activities, is unknown. Introduction Terrorism and global business The Threat of Terrorism in the U. But these terrorist attacks are not limited to the United States. The fundamental difference between the two is that the former utilizes violence to legitimize its repressive structure while the latter utilizes it to oppose and potentially overthrow an oppressive institution.
These acts can be described as terrorist actions. It is complex because it combines so many varied aspects of human experience, including arenas such as politics, social discourse, psychology, philosophy, military strategy, and history, to name a few. Now the question is - Who are these terrorists and why do they resort to violence? On balance, this is the best long-term guiding principle and. What are likely targets for theft or sabotage? Poverty, unemployment, deprivation and illiteracy make a good breeding ground for militancy extremism. Developed nations may play a good role ill uprooting terrorism.
Actually, terrorism is a tactic that is built on the solid fundament of its inner complex philosophy. Bremer Overview The issue of international terrorism is one that has engulfed the global community. Many questions that have still gone unanswered despite careful study, but governments are finding some relief when collaborating with anti-terrorism organizations Fischer, 2002. After review these factors one can easily conclude that there are very bleak chances of stoppage of terrorism in the world because the activities of the terrorists is not confined to a few countable groups. Instead, they act as the first line of defense against these natural calamities, minimizing their damage. India has witnessed lots of brutal terrorist attacks in the different parts of the country.
We defer from them while being to a great degree meticulous. However, this perception is changing as global warming starts to impact everyday life. Nor can this battle be won by government alone, even if it must be deemed to have the primary responsibility for marshalling the national resources and will. It kills, hurts or injures many people who are innocent for the reason of making a point or for political objectives. Assam has been the most unstable state in the last few decades. It's a battle between modern day computer cops and digital hackers. While its policies focus on short-term conventional threats, a potentially devastating danger lurks in the shadows: climate change.
Recently, the terrorist attack in India was in Taj Hotel and Nariman house in Mumbai. All governments of the world should simultaneously and continuously take bold steps against terrorists or terrorism. In the end we can only hope that the increasing menace of the terrorism be stopped by all the nations in general and the countries of the third world in particulars. Major cause of Terrorism in India At the time of Independence India is divided into two parts on the basis of religion or community. Without a definitive definition on what terrorism is it will continue to adapt Terrorist attacks are major threats that could occur in any nation. The repercussions of climate change are exacerbated when combined with man-made modifications that have a drastic effect on the overall ecosystem. Terrorists exist all over the world.
More and more terrorist are becoming tech savvy and have come to understood the true potential for waging war in cyberspace. How do terrorist groups in the Middle East recruit and radicalize people from all over the world? Many terrorists are involved with Terrorism in the twenty-first century has become an important phenomenon, as well as a key security issue for most countries. This paper will explore the challenges facing scholars when it comes to labeling terror and discuss potential ways to properly define it. Now the main problem facing the whole world is that will terrorism continue unabated looking at the back history? This is a burning issue and needs immediate attention. Guide to the Causes of Terrorism Terrorism is the threat or use of violence against civilians to draw attention to an issue. No one was going to explain to me who they were, why they allowing terrorism to be successful and continue.
Terrorism is an international problem in today's global community. Globalization has brought the attention of the entire world to come together to solve the issues of collective goods for the betterment of mankind. In simple words, it is the spread of terror. There are many terrorist groups exists in the nation with their special name depending on their name. In such conditions, it is media which really helps to spread the news about terrorism in the society Terrorism, as defined by Webster's, is the unlawful use or threat of violence especially against the state or the public as a politically motivated means of attack or coercion.

Campaigners call for end to cabinet system on Mid Devon District Council
Anger over decisions could lead to district referendum on the issues
People attend the meeting at Heathcoat Community Centre. (Image: Lewis Clarke)
The cabinet system used by Mid Devon District Council is "treating the majority of councillors like mushrooms" campaigners have said.
In their first meeting on Thursday, April 4, a campaign group was formed seeking to change the current cabinet system, which sees is made up of the leader together with six other councillors, also referred to as portfolio holders. Each portfolio holder has responsibility for one or more areas. These areas of responsibility are called portfolios. The group would prefer a committee system whereby a council elects a leader to represent the authority and wield executive power. Power is exercised by a number of committees, made up of councillors in proportion to their parties' representation on the council. If a committee is unable to make a decision, or a minority group wishes to challenge it, the decision may be referred to a meeting of the full council for a final decision.
Honorary Alderman David Nation has spearheaded the campaign following the sale of Crediton Town Hall.
'Appalling' Crediton town hall sale leads campaigners to want to change way Mid Devon makes decisions
Speaking at the meeting, he said: "The issue in Crediton which really angered us all was that district council who own the town hall and have whittled down the staff bit by bit there, they got to the point where they said they did not need the building anymore and sold it.
"Those of you in Tiverton know that the magnificent Tiverton Town Hall went through a similar process and the district council sold that to Tiverton Town Council at a beneficial price. They were asked to do the same for Crediton Town Council, but three members of the cabinet refused, saying they would sell it on the open market.
"We fought long and hard, and a motion was put forward saying the building should be sold to Crediton Town Council with around 26 councillors supporting it, but despite that, cabinet totally ignored that and everybody else and went ahead and sold it to a local businessman."
David Nation (left) leads the meeting. (Image: Lewis Clarke)
Mr Nation said the system at the moment was being used in a "draconian way."
"There are 42 members, but with six on the cabinet, it treats the other 36 councillors like mushrooms. You don't know what's going on, you have to work damn hard to find out what's going on and then it's damn difficult and requires a huge amount of energy to try and do anything to change it."
To change the system, the group decided to push for change from within following the outcome of the election on May 2. However, if they were unable to, they would push for a referendum on the issue but would need 3069 residents to sign a petition calling for one. At the meeting, £86.15 was collected towards room hire and future costs.
The group also intends to contact all those currently standing for election and ask for their views on the issue on the cabinet and committee system.
Bill Jones, a Liberal borough councillor for ten years and a district councillor for four said he saw "the writing on the wall" within the four years and walked away from the authority.
"The people coming through to represent the people were there for themselves, not for the people they were supposed to be representing," he said.
Councillors like "talking to a brick wall" say Crediton Town Hall campaigners
"Remember one thing, if you get a bag of pig's dung and dress it up in blue in Tiverton, they will vote for it. If you take that pig's dung up to Accrington and dress it up in red, they'll vote for it up there. It doesn't matter what's in the bag; it's the colour."
Nick Way, who is standing down as a district councillor at the forthcoming election added: "I was in favour when the cabinet system came in back in 2000 for a variety of reasons, but Mid Devon was a different animal back then.
"If the makeup of the council is different after the elections, it may be more open to change, but it would require a very big change so forcing a referendum may be the only way. It could be a very long process, and that's why I think it's important this group stays together and keeps up momentum as much as possible."

Oregon Coast Mystery Involves Giant Skeleton, Pirate Ship near Lincoln City
(Lincoln City, Oregon) – It all started in the 1700's – or 1932 – depending how you think about it. It's a tale of murder, sex, local native legends, a skeleton of an eight-foot giant, possibly a pirate ship, a search for treasure and a local family caught up in the middle of it. (Photos courtesy North Lincoln County Historical Museum).
Thanks to bundles of information from the North Lincoln County Historical Museum, there's a pretty clear record to this intriguing mystery. According to articles archived by the museum, homesteaders who settled in the Lincoln City and Neskowin area had long heard legends from local tribes about a shipwreck and a mysterious black man briefly worshiped as a god. This was all the way back to the mid 1800's, and just before the Calkins family started settling into the bay where the Salmon River dumps out to sea next to Cascade Head.
The son of that family, Elmer Calkins, began laying the groundwork for his own homestead near Cascade Head in 1932, according to a 1972 article in the LA Times. As he plowed the ground in preparation for building he ran across something quite unusual: human bones.
Elmer, according to the LA Times article, had grown up with local tribes people all around him and he knew their ways. So what made this find even more striking was that the bones were buried with discarded sea shells. This was, after all, the Indians' form of a garbage dump. They did not bury their dead in garbage piles.
Stranger still, one of the three skeletons was a giant. The man – later discovered to be African – was eight feet tall.
Calkins quickly contacted historian Dr. John Horner and the local coroner, Dr. F. M. Carter. Historical photos from the North Lincoln County Historical Museum show them examining the burial site. Horner took them back to Oregon State University in Corvallis and dated the skeletons at about 160 years, which would have placed them on the central Oregon coast around the late 1700's.
The other two skeletons were of Caucasian men.
Meanwhile, something immediately clicked with local historians and with Calkins. They had heard many of the tales handed down from generations. One of them was of a gigantic "winged canoe" that came into the bay next to Cascade Head. The time line of that legend matched up with the 160-year-old bones.
The legend said the crew of the ship wandered off inland after the wreck and were never heard from again. Three stayed behind: two white men and the giant African man.
In the LA Times article, Calkins vividly remembers the tale.
"The Indians worshiped the black giant, so the legend went," Calkins said at the time. "They were in awe of the man because of his color and his size."
Elmer Calkins in the 1972 article from the LA Times.
Then, the natives decided that perhaps this man was not a god, and they turned against him. Children began being born to the women with distinctly African features.
"When the Indians decided the giant was human they killed him and his two shipmates," Calkins said of the legend.
In a show of contempt, the bodies were thrown into the kitchen middens – the piles of shells from seafood the tribes lived on.
Calkins also noted many of the local tribes' people he grew up with around the turn of the century had some African features, such as dark, curly hair.
Interestingly enough, this wasn't Calkins' first encounter with real life evidence of the legend. Years before, while gilnetting in that bay (Calkins is actually also responsible for getting the bay the name of Three Rox Bay), his net snagged on part of the rib of a sunken ship.
That discovery created a small media sensation in the 1920's, and Calkins told the LA Times people flooded the area trying to dig up what they thought would be a pirate's booty.
In 1974 – two years after the LA Times piece – Salem's The Capital Journal (the precursor to the Statesman Journal) ran a story about Calkin's son, Ed Calkins. The younger Calkins was about to embark on something that sounds like a sub plot in the new series "The Curse of Oak Island." He too had caught treasure fever and in 1974 applied for a dig permit from the state of Oregon.
In that article, the younger Calkins said he believed the ship to be a pirate ship that tried to hide in this area, running from the British. It also notes how Calkins had apparently detected gold and silver with a metal detector around that wreckage.
The article said one of the skulls of the human remains was still pierced with an arrowhead, while another man apparently had had his head crushed with a rock.
There are striking similarities between this giant skeleton and its history and the legends of a shipwreck on the north Oregon coast at Manzanita. It's been proven a Spanish ship wrecked near Manzanita in the 1700's and local native legends about it are quite varied. Some of those legends, however, talk about a tall black man as being part of the crew, and one version even says he was buried alive with a supposed "treasure" to ward off interference from Indians.
It begs the question that perhaps this Manzanita story was an offshoot of the more verifiable facts of the Lincoln City discoveries.
Bob Ward, founder of the Drake in Oregon Society, will have some updates on searches around this shipwreck area on February 22 at the North Lincoln County Historical Museum. The presentation begins at 1 p.m. and also includes an examination of the 1579 voyage of Francis Drake and how may have anchored off the central Oregon coast.

WASHINGTON, DC (Dec. 29, 2014) — In a brief submitted today, the American Civil Rights Union asks the U.S. Supreme Court to stop President Obama from obliterating the separation of powers doctrine in the Constitution. Only Congress has the power to legislate, the brief notes.
At issue in King v. Burwell is the federal subsidy offered to enrollees in health insurance exchanges established by the federal government in the 36 states that did not create their own exchanges under Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) does not provide for subsidies except in the state-created exchanges. When the Internal Revenue Service issued a rule allowing subsidies through the federal exchanges, it ignored the clear wording of the ACA, says the brief, written by ACRU General Counsel Peter Ferrara.
"This is a critical case coming at a critical time for our nation and its history. The President has famously announced that he has a phone and a pen, by which he means to say that he can govern the nation perfectly well without Congress. We understand that to imply that the President thinks he is ready and able to assume Congress's Article 1 legislative powers….

Major search involving police helicopter for missing Plymouth man - updates
Francis Dellipiani has not been seen since New Year's Eve
Rom Preston-EllisSenior Regional Content Editor
Carl EveCrime reporter
The police helicopter is involved in the search for Francis Dellipiani
A major search is continuing for a missing Plymouth man who has not been seen since New Year's Eve.
Francis Dellipiani, known as Frank, went missing from his home address in the Estover area overnight on December 31 into January 1.
The police helicopter has been seen circling over the Estover area today with police dog teams and crews from Dartmoor Search and Rescue also involved in the operation.
Police have asked members of the public to call 999 if they have any sightings of Mr Dellipiani.
A spokesman for Devon and Cornwall Police said a large number of Dartmoor Search and Rescue Team members joined the hunt for Francis as well as police dogs and handlers and the Devon and Cornwall Police Drone Team.
Fears grow for Plymouth man missing since New Year's Eve
Francis is a 62-year-old white male, around 5ft 6ins tall and of of slim build. He is English speaking with a strong accent. He is described as being a Gibraltarian by police.
The police's concern has been raised substantially because Frank is in ill health and takes some prescribed medication, some of which he does not have with him.
He is believed to have left his home on foot, possibly still in his dressing gown and slippers.
Any sightings should be reported immediately on 999 quoting log 491 01/01/20.
Any updates will be posted in the live blog below
Police today confirm Francis is still missing 10:53
Police release more details about missing Francis Dellipiani
One of Devon and Cornwall Police's Lost Person Search Managers - a specially trained officer tasked with organising the search of missing people - has released more details after heading the hunt for Francis Dellipiani over the last 48 hours.
For the first time police have now revealed that Francis - known to friends and family as Frank - was last seen at 10pm on New Year's Eve at his home in Estover. At that time he was wearing a grey dressing gown, maroon jumper and with flip flops or slippers. It is not believed that Frank changed out of these clothes before he left his home later that night.
The search manager confirmed that a host of agencies have been involved in the search for Frank, including Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service, the NPAS Exeter police helicopter, the Devon and Cornwall Police drone team and police dogs and handlers.. In addition they have been assisted by volutneeers from Dartmoor Search and Rescue Teams from Plymouth and Tavistock.
The search manager added: "My sincere thanks to all those who gave up their bank holiday to help us in this task and to the families who were left at home."

They noted that the team of volunteers from DSRT Plymouth and Tavistock spent "8hrs 39mins" searching alongside the official emergency services
Rescue team statement on the search yesterday
Dartmoor Search and Rescue Tavistock has released this statement on its role in the search efforts yesterday.
"We were called at 9.23am on New Year's Day to assist in the search for an at risk 62-year-old male who had many medical issues," said a spokesperson.
"He had left his home in Estover during the night, wearing only pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers.
"An extensive search was carried out by 26 of our members along with a similar number of our colleagues from DSRT Plymouth, covering woodland, open ground and some steeply-sloping land with dense undergrowth.
"Police carried out property enquiries and some personnel from Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service checked watercourses in the area.
"After many hours of searching the multi-agency operation was scaled down once darkness arrived.
"Some volunteers did not return to our base until 7pm."
