We are very excited to share our first Mycelium newsletter, with some of what we've been up to, along with news from our network of collaborators and the wider web of sustainability and regeneration. Mycelium Media Colab has been in existence for just over 2 years now, and whilst 2020 has certainly turned out a lot different than we were expecting, it has seen our co-operative go from strength to strength. Members have been kept busy with both Mycelium projects and other world-changing work in our personal capacities, with organisations like SANOcean, Environmental Humanities South (UCT), Kos Gangsters, Human Rights Media Trust, Soil for Life, and Activate! A very exciting development has been that Kia Johnson is the new anchor presenter for SABC2's flagship environmental show 50/50, and Mycelium have produced three stories for the current season, two of which were during Level 4 lockdown. It's clear that planetary limits are being reached in all corners of the world, but encouraging to be part of the thin green and brown line that is working on regenerative solutions.

NEWS FROM THE NETWORK
OCEAN POLLUTION STORY ON 50/50
As a WWF Ambassador, 50/50 presenter and Mycelium founding member Kia Johnson feels passionately about efforts to clean our oceans and beaches, taking part in beach clean ups with organisations like the Beach Co-op. Water, our coast and beaches are part of the story, way of life and economy of the Mother City, yet we treat them as our dumping ground. Plastic is a very visible form of coastal pollution, but it is just one way that human waste is contaminating our oceans. In March 2020, as beaches were closed under lockdown, the City of Cape Town published a long-awaited report on the quality of the coastal water entitled Know Your Coast. The water quality maps for 2019 show results from test sites around the coast, and some of the hotspots are near to Cape Town's most famous beaches and tourist attractions. We explore some of the reasons why.
Watch our 50/50 story on ocean pollution. and to dive deeper watch collaborator Mark Jackson's film Bay of Sewage and check out aerial photographer Jean Tresfon's Facebook page.
My childhood was always filled with hiking moments with my parents and camping out with friends and family. One of my highlights was when I finally decided to swim in a plunge pool. I was a bit scared but I did it nonetheless. It was then that I realized just how important water is in our lives. You know it's easy to forget that our water doesn't actually come from pipes and taps. ~ Kia Johnson
ACTION: It's a nurdle washout! The Shark Spotters Coastal Rehabilitation team have seen nurdles washing up on South Peninsula beaches at Muizenberg, Fish Hoek, Simonstown, Millers Point, Witsands, and Kommetjie.
Do you know what a nurdle is? Nurdles are tiny beads of virgin plastic that are melted down and injection moulded to make a variety of new plastic products. They easily make their way into the food chain when fish and other filter-feeding marine creatures mistake them for eggs and miniature jellyfish.
They need your help to collect and drop them off at one of the Shark Spotters stations where they will weigh them, to get an accurate record of the extent of the pollution and ensure that they are properly disposed of. Please leave a note in your bag where they were collected from and when.
SUSTAINABLE FASHION AND SKINCARE
The Mycelium team also recently produced a feature story for 50/50 about sustainable and earth-friendly fashion and skincare. Everyone likes to look good and for many of us, the latest fashion trends and make-up, play a big part in our unique sense of style, but looking good can come with a hefty price tag for our planet! Unsustainable and unethical manufacturing practices and the use of harmful chemicals and additives are still the norm in the global fashion and beauty industry, worth billions upon billions of dollars. Kia Johnson went on a mission to find South African skincare and fashion brands that offer earth-friendly and ethical alternatives.
WATCH: The story will be broadcast on SABC 2 at 7pm on Monday 9 November and will be available after that on their Youtube Channel.
COLLABORATOR OF THE MONTH
Makoma Lekalakala has long been at the forefront of social movements, tackling issues from gender and women's rights to social, economic and environmental justice. Makoma has focused on targeting environmental corruption and her commitment to climate justice in SA has led to major civil society victories. She's been honoured for her role in the legal case against the government and ensuring the reversal of the nuclear energy deal between South Africa and Russia.

The Climate Risks We Face: Daily Maverick
Environmental experts Prof Bob Scholes, Makoma Lekalakala and Our Burning Planet's Kevin Bloom unpacked a recent report that underlined the top 5 climate risks to South Africa. Among many concerning findings, South Africa has been identified as a "climate hotspot" – a region likely to warm substantially more than the global average. This means that without global efforts to mitigate climate change, certain parts of the country, such as the Limpopo Valley, will become unlivable. If you missed the virtual event and would like to find out what can be done to combat the devastating effects of climate change to South Africa, this article has everything you need to know and you can watch the webinar here.
The Future of Fashion 2020 indaba applies a locally-relevant lens to the topic of ethical and sustainable fashion and creates space for collaborative knowledge-sharing between all stakeholders in the fashion value chain. Future of Fashion will explore the theme 'African sustainability – our way of being'. While the concept of sustainability seems to be a relatively new concept to many of us living in a largely Western and modern world, many indigenous groups in Africa and across the globe have been living in harmony with nature for thousands of years. There is much to learn about circularity, the shared-economy, sustainable material sourcing and more from these communities whose sustainable practices have stood the test of time. The Sustainable Fashion Awards, in collaboration with Twyg, will be hosted available via livestreaming on the virtual event platform on 19 November.

A captivating array of impactful and punchy short films focussed around conservation, was exclusively screened by People's Weather (DStv Channel-180) in the festival component of the 2020 Nature, Environment & Wildlife Filmmakers (NEWF) Congress which took place from 25 to 30 October. All under 15 minutes long, films include filmmakers' personal journeys of discovery, investigative reports on illegal wildlife trade, educational revelations of species and game parks under threat, spiritual connections with marine life, attempts to overcome fears of nature in all its powerful majesty, and much more. They can be watched online here along with other great content.
The study of fungi has long been overshadowed by more glamorous scientific quests. But biologist Merlin Sheldrake is on a mission to change that. Fungi will play an ever more crucial role in our understanding of the environment, in a range of new technologies from building materials to sustainable food, packaging products to alternative "leather", and in our relationship with waste.

Buying quality pre-loved clothing is a growing trend and more and more South Africans are buying into it… With the clothing industry being a massively polluting industry worldwide, it makes sense to recycle pre-loved clothing. And in our current economic climate, most of us are delighted to get popular brand labels at affordable prices. Chic Mamas Do Care originated in Cape Town. And the NPO now boasts charity fashion exchange outlets in Wynberg, Hout Bay, Durban and Linden, Johannesburg. Since 2011 the they have distributed over R6 million to support Early Childhood Development (ECD), projects, fundraising through the sale of good quality, pre-loved clothing. https://chicmamasdocare.org/

MILWAUKEE -- It's called the "silent killer" because there are typically no warning signs or symptoms. High blood pressure affects millions of adults, and YMCA leaders are on a mission to improve your health.
A few steps can go a long way when it comes to fitness, but more than just exercise is needed for whole body health. That's why fitness trainer Samantha Koscielak said the YMCA is taking part in American Heart Month.
"A great time to encourage people to come in and get their blood pressure checked," said Koscielak.
YMCA locations in the metro Milwaukee area are participating in a blood pressure self-monitoring program.
"A four-month program that focuses on one-on-one consultations with a trained healthy heart ambassador and nutrition group sessions once a month," said Koscielak.
The program allows those with hypertension to monitor and manage their numbers with ease. It's an effort to prevent heart disease.
"Most people don't even know they have high blood pressure. Upwards of 80 million people don't," said Koscielak. "Normal numbers are anywhere between, for your systolic 120 and your diastolic 80, so that number would be like 120 over 80. Anything less than that is a normal reading. Anything higher than that, you are breaching on that high blood pressure or pre-high blood pressure."
Keeping those numbers low -- along with your stress levels -- can increase your quality of life.

The Government has announced that active COVID-19 cases continue to decrease during the previous reporting period (13 July-12 August 2020), Spokesperson of the National COVID-19 Task Force Wiku Adisasmito has said.
According to him, as of 13 August, the total number of active cases reached 39,290 or 29.5 percent. There were 2,098 new confirmed cases, 87,558 recovered patients or 65.9 percent, and 5,968 deaths or 4.49 percent.
On 13 July, Wiku continued, the percentage of the country's active cases stood at 47.59 percent. The cases decreased to 41.94 percent on 20 July, declining the count to 37.18 percent on 27 July. The cases remain decreased to 33.2 percent on 3 August. In addition, as of 12 August, the percentage of active cases worldwide was 30.51 percent.
"As of Wednesday (12/8), the total number of active cases in the country reached 29.85 percent, lower than global average of 30.51 percent," Wiku said during a press conference at the Presidential Office, Jakarta, Thursday (13/8).
Wiku went on to say 29.18 percent of Indonesian regions have 11 to 50 active cases based on data as of 9 August; 28.79 percent of regions have 1 to 10 active cases, while 15.37 percent of regions have no active cases. "We have a total of 79 regencies/cities with zero active-cases, this is good news," he said.
On that occasion, Wiku also asked the public to remain vigilant since several regions still have a high number of active cases. There were 11.28 percent of regions with 100 to 1,000 active cases, 6.81 percent of regions with 51 to 100 active cases, while 6.81 percent of regions are not affected.
He further said that there are 9 regencies/cities with more than 1,000 active cases, including West Jakarta with 1,268 cases, Surabaya City with 1,283 cases, East Jakarta with 1,305 cases, South Jakarta with 1,309 cases, Medan City with 1,377 cases, Makassar City with 1,511 cases, Semarang City with 1,681 cases, North Jakarta with 1,775 cases, and Central Jakarta with 2,213 cases.
"Those are the most densely populated areas. We need to pay attention that we should not be careless, including regencies/cities that have succeeded in reducing the number of active cases or regions with no active-cases at all," he said.
Based on the epidemic risk mapping, he added, as many as 35 regions are not affected, 47 regions recorded having zero new-cases in the last four weeks with 100 percent recovery, 177 low-risk regions, 222 medium-risk regions, and 33 high-risk regions.
Wiku said that there was a tendency of changes in regions categorized as red zones in the period of 24 May-9 August. The number of regions categorized as orange and yellow zones is still fluctuating. However, the number of green zone also showing signs of decrease. "This situation must get our attention, do not let the number of green zones decrease," he stated.
On that occasion, Wiku also mentioned 64 regencies/cities of 22 provinces categorized as orange zones for the last four weeks without any risk status change, including Bali Province, Banten Province, Bengkulu Province, Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) Province, Jakarta Province, East Kalimantan Province, West Java Province, Central Java Province, South Kalimantan Province, Central Kalimantan Province, North Maluku Province, West Papua Province, Riau Islands Province, East Java Province, North Sulawesi Province, Papua Province, West Nusa Tenggara Province, West Sulawesi Province, West Sumatra Province, South Sumatra Province, South Sulawesi Province, and North Sumatra Province.
"Regencies are expected to improve their testing, tracing, and treatment or isolation for COVID-19 cases. Make sure that the public follow health protocols, such as wearing masks and washing hands. The orange zones or medium-risk areas will increase once regional administrations and the public follow the protocols well," he concluded. (Tim Komunikasi Komite Penanganan Covid-19 dan PEN/EN)

HAZAR is one of the few musicians out there who managed to become a virtuoso withtwo completely different musical instruments. Early in his career, in addition to composition classes he took lessons in harmony and counterpoint with Prof Tibor Yusti von Arth, the only student of Sergei Rachmaninow and composed music for Paramount Pictures. Later he studied at the Maastricht Academy of Music and as world's first musician he has received an internationally recognized master's degree in jazz with saz. In his album "Virtuoso" accompanied with bassist Carles Benavent, released in 2009, HAZAR demonstrated an extraordinary technique by playing pieces of Chick Corea, Bach, Mozart and Paganini's Caprice on three strings and was regarded as "The Paganini of Saz". Referred to as "one of the best saz players of all time" by Prof Talip Özkan, the musician shared the stage with jazz orchestras and world famous musicians taking significant steps to promote the saz at international level. In a conversation with John McLaughlinafter a concert in Cologne, John commented on his album: "If you want to show your skills, you should play guitar." At the height of his musical career HAZAR switched to acoustic guitar. Speaking of himself, he has stated in an interview: "I had nothing more to tell with the saz." Within a very short time he was able to play the guitar at highest level and recorded "Reincarnated" with Al Di Meola as special guest.

Get enough sleep: Stress and anxiousness may cause insomnia that can additional disrupt emotional steadiness, which is crucial for coping with any kind of stress. The lack to take correct relaxation also triggers nervousness. Due to this fact, it will be significant for a person to ensure that she or he takes proper relaxation and does not have interaction in any form of demanding activities closer to bedtime. Being away from the know-how not less than forty five minutes before bedtime can even help enhance the standard of sleep.
For the perfect general health which you can achieve, consult together with your doctor or different credentialed medical or healthcare professional about eating regimen, train, medical therapies, preventatives like vaccines, and other points of your life and the lives of your loved ones. Keep away from practices that appear extreme or too lengthy-term to be of worth.
I used to be invited by the Ron Paul supporters to their rally in Washington final summer time and I liked it. I met a lot of people I revered, a variety of strange" people, as in not privileged. They have been stepping as much as the plate, when my very own liberal privileged fellow demographic habituates were lying around whining. It was a wake-up name to the libertarians that there's a progressive who cares so much about the same points. Their views of liberals are just as distorted as ours are of conservatives.
I like meals. I literally LOVE meals. While I'm eating breakfast, I am fascinated about lunch and while consuming lunch, I am planning supper. Then after supper when I'm enjoyable I'm trying out dishes on meals recognizing, catching up on restaurant information on the Squaremeal or simply reading a recipe book (although not all on the same time)…..you get the picture….I am OBSESSED!!

Hand/Wrist – Tendon Disorders – PRP
ROSM uses research-based methods to lead patients back to full function and health. Our team is dedicated to providing effective, minimally-invasive options to maintain and enhance our patients' quality of life. Please review these studies for more information on our treatment modalities. If you have any further questions, do not hesitate to contact us.
The Effectiveness of Platelet-Rich Plasma in the Treatment of Tendinopathy: A Meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Clinical Trials
Tendinopathy is very common in the general population. There are increasing numbers of clinical studies referring to platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and platelet-poor plasma (PPP) as treatments for tendinopathy.
To perform a meta-analysis of the outcomes of the PRP groups by preparation method and injection technique in tendinopathy. To determine the clinical effectiveness of the preparations and to evaluate the effect of controls used in the studies reviewed.
Systematic review and meta-analysis.
The PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, and Medline databases were searched in March 2012, April 2014, and August 2015, and randomized controlled trials using autologous blood, PRP, PPP, or autologous conditioned plasma in tendinopathy with outcome measures of pain and follow-up time of 3 months were included in this review. Trials including surgery, tendon tears, and muscle or ligament injuries were excluded. Study quality was assessed using the Cochrane Collaboration risk-of-bias tool by 2 reviewers. Data were pooled using random-effects meta-analysis. The primary outcome measure was a change in pain intensity. Where more than 1 pain scale was included, a functional score was selected ahead of a visual analog scale score.
A total of 18 studies (1066 participants) were included. Eight studies were deemed to be at low risk of bias. The most significant outcomes in the PRP groups were seen in those treated with highly cellular leukocyte-rich PRP (LR-PRP) preparations: GPS kit (standardized mean difference [SMD], 35.75; 95% CI, 28.40-43.10), MyCells kit (SMD, 31.84; 95% CI, 17.56-46.13), Prosys kit (SMD, 42.99; 95% CI, 37.73-48.25), and unspecified LR-PRP (SMD, 34.62; 95% CI, 31.69-37.55). When the LR-PRP system types were grouped, there was a strongly positive effect (SMD, 36.38; 95% CI, 34.00-38.77) when compared with leukocyte-poor PRP (SMD, 26.77; 95% CI, 18.31-35.22). In assessing the control groups, there was no clear difference between different types of control injections: saline (SMD, 14.62; 95% CI, 10.74-18.50), local anesthetic (SMD, 15.00; 95% CI, 7.66-22.34), corticosteroid (SMD, 23.82; 95% CI, 10.74-18.50), or dry needling (SMD, 25.22; 95% CI, 21.27-29.16).
There is good evidence to support the use of a single injection of LR-PRP under ultrasound guidance in tendinopathy. Both the preparation and intratendinous injection technique of PRP appear to be of great clinical significance.
Treatment of Chronic Tendinopathy with Ultrasound-Guided Needle Tenotomy and Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection
To determine whether ultrasound (US)-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy followed by a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection would result in pain reduction, functional improvement, or structural alterations in patients with chronic, recalcitrant tendinopathy.
Part A was a retrospective observational study. Part B was a prospective observational study.
Outpatient academic sports medicine center.
Patients were required to have chronic (3 months), recalcitrant tendinopathy treated with US-guided percutaneous tenotomy and PRP injection between January 2007 and October 2009. Fifty-one subjects met the inclusion criteria. Forty-one (80%) participated in part A of the study, whereas 34 subjects (67%) participated in part B.
In part A, subjects completed a survey obtaining anthropomorphic, demographic, pain, and functional data. Subjects' platelet, hemoglobin, and white blood cell concentrations from their whole-blood and PRP samples were also obtained. In part B, subjects returned to the clinic after US-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy and PRP injection for a diagnostic US, which was compared with their preprocedure diagnostic US.
Main Outcome Measures:
The main outcome measures included changes in pain, function, and tendon characteristics.
The tendinopathy location was in the upper extremity in 10 subjects (24.4%), was in the lower extremity in 31 subjects (75.6%), and had been present for a mean of 40 months. The mean postprocedure follow-up was 14 months, and the maximum benefits occurred 4 months postprocedure. There were mean functional and worst-pain improvements of 68% and 58%, respectively. Eighty-three percent of subjects were satisfied with their outcomes and would recommend the procedure to a friend. Although no tendons demonstrated a normal sonographic appearance after the procedure, 84% of subjects had an improvement in echotexture, 64% had a resolution of intratendinous calcifications, and 82% had a decrease in intratendinous neovascularity. None of the variables analyzed in this study demonstrated a significant correlation with pain or functional outcome measures.
In this case series, we found US-guided percutaneous needle tenotomy followed by PRP injection to be a safe and effective treatment for chronic, recalcitrant tendinopathy, and this treatment was associated with sonographically apparent improvements in tendon morphology. However, because of the intrinsic limitations of the study design and the heterogeneity of treated tendons, further research is required to corroborate our findings.
Outcomes After Ultrasound-Guided Platelet-Rich Plasma Injections for Chronic Tendinopathy: A Multicenter, Retrospective Review
To determine whether ultrasound-guided platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injections are an effective treatment for chronic tendinopathies.
A retrospective, cross-sectional survey.
Four academic sports medicine centers from across the United States.
Patients:
A total of 180 men and women between the ages of 18 and 75 years who received ultrasound-guided PRP injections for tendinopathy refractory to conventional treatments.
Interventions:
Survey on satisfaction and functional outcome.
Main Outcome Measurements:
Perceived improvement in symptoms at least 6 months after treatment, perceived change in visual analog scale score, assessment of functional pain, and overall satisfaction.
On average, patients were 48 years old, had symptoms for a median of 18 months before treatment, and answered the survey on average 15 months after treatment. Overall, 82% of patients indicated moderate to complete improvement in symptoms. The most common injection sites were the lateral epicondyle, Achilles, and patellar tendons. Other sites treated included the rotator cuff, hamstring, gluteus medius, and medial epicondyle, among others. Furthermore, 60% of patients received only 1 injection, 30% received 2 injections, and 10% received 3 or more injections. Patients' perceived decrease in visual analog scale score was 75%, from 7.0 1.8 to 1.8 2.0 (5.2, SD 2.7, 95% confidence interval 5.65 to 4.86, P .0001). In addition, at follow-up, 95% of patients reported having no pain at rest that disrupted their activities of daily living and 68% reported no pain during activities. A total of 85% of patients were satisfied with the procedure.
In this retrospective study, in which we evaluated administration of PRP for chronic tendinopathy, we found that the majority of patients reported a moderate (50%) improvement in pain symptoms.

Beyond Woodstock: Revisiting the Other Summer of '69 Music Festivals
Vintage footage of Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, and Janis Joplin playing regional pop festivals that weren't Woodstock
By Tyler Wilcox

Invisible Hits is a column in which Tyler Wilcox scours the internet for the best (and strangest) bootlegs, rarities, outtakes, and live clips.
As of this writing, it's unclear whether the Woodstock 50 festival will take place. But either way, you can bet Yasgur's Farm there'll be no shortage of boomer-nostalgia-stoking thinkpieces this summer about the legacy of the original Woodstock. Thanks to the subsequent film, live album, and countless mythmaking efforts over the decades, Woodstock is an abiding symbol of late 1960s counterculture, the ultimate expression of the so-called Age of Aquarius. There's a reason (besides, you know, money) that Rhino is releasing a 38-disc deluxe set presenting every last note recorded the weekend of August 15-18, 1969. But Woodstock was far from the only mega-festival to take place in the summer of '69—and it was far from the best, perhaps just the best documented. Let's take a look back at some of the other "tribal gatherings" that took place 50 years ago this summer, via a handful of audio and video artifacts.
Denver Pop Festival (June 27-29)
Jimi Hendrix's closing set at Woodstock remains one of the era's defining musical moments—a performance that's as celebratory as it is incendiary. But he kicked off the summer of '69 in more downcast fashion. Just a little more than two (wildly productive) years after the Jimi Hendrix Experience burst onto the scene at 1967's Monterey Pop Festival, the band's original lineup played its final gig as headliners for the first (and last) Denver Pop Festival in June. Perhaps reflective of the Experience's inner tensions, the trio's set is less fiery than usual; it picks up steam, however, on a raging "Red House," with Hendrix coaxing positively demonic sounds from his guitar, whipping the crowd of 50,000 into a violent frenzy. Even all these years later, it's not hard to understand why riots broke out immediately after Jimi left the stage. The rest of the weekend was perhaps a little more groovy, with Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention bringing their skewed pop to the Mile High City and Big Mama Thornton delivering some old-school flavor.
Newport Jazz Festival (July 3-6)
The Newport Jazz Festival had been a summer tradition in Rhode Island for more than a decade, highlighting the best swing, bebop, and big band talents of the day. But in 1969, organizers decided to bring a selection of rock groups onto the lineup, including Led Zeppelin, the Mothers of Invention, and Sly and the Family Stone. Things did not go smoothly. Crowds crashed fences, riots threatened to break out, toilets overflowed. But amid the chaos, some seriously great music was made. Miles Davis tried out his revolutionary electric sound, tearing through a ferocious set that previewed Bitches Brew, the landmark effort the trumpeter recorded just a few weeks later. Zeppelin's heavy blues-rock fusion gave a glimpse of the stadium-ready sound that would dominate the 1970s. And James Brown's set caught the Godfather of Soul at a career high point, bringing blindingly brilliant funk to Newport's Sunday afternoon.
Atlanta Pop Festival (July 4-5)
Led Zeppelin actually pulled double duty over 1969's Fourth of July weekend, also appearing at the Atlanta International Raceway for the Atlanta Pop Festival. They were joined by such festival regulars as Sweetwater, Delaney & Bonnie, Chicago, and Janis Joplin. Unlike many other similar events, however, there's not a great deal of evidence of the Atlanta Pop Festival, audio, video, or otherwise. Still, this amateur Super 8 footage gives us an uncanny (if very shaky) glimpse of what it was like to actually be in the audience at one of these late 1960s festivals—pot smoke billowing, sunburns spreading, long-haired hippies dancing. (It's silent, so you'll have to provide your own soundtrack.) For more stoned home movies, check out similarly charming footage from the Atlantic City Pop Festival, which took place a few weeks later.
Isle of Wight Festival (August 29-31)
Some Woodstock attendees undoubtedly harbored the hope that Bob Dylan would make a surprise appearance at the festival. After all, Dylan lived in the actual Woodstock, just a few miles from the Bethel, New York, location. But no, Bob instead chose to cross the Atlantic a few weeks later for his only major festival appearance during this era. The Isle of Wight Festival was the songwriter's first full concert since 1966—and what a difference three years made. In place of the viciously confrontational Dylan of his '66 tours, the audience of 150,000 was serenaded by a sweet country crooner. Clad all in white, Dylan led the Band through new ballads like "I Threw It All Away" and bouncy rockers like "Quinn the Eskimo." He even dipped back into his folkie days for a lovely solo rendition of the timeless traditional number "Wild Mountain Thyme." (The entire show was finally released in 2013 as part of a Bootleg Series deluxe edition.) Reviews for the hotly anticipated show were mixed, however; Dylan likely seemed a bit out of step with the high-energy antics that festival-goers had come to expect. Any disappointed fans on the Isle of Wight that weekend could comfort themselves with the magisterial rock power of the Who, though.
Texas Inter-Pop Festival (August 30-September 1)
The same weekend as the Isle of Wight, Texas was throwing its own massive festival. Many of the by-now-usual suspects were involved: Led Zeppelin played a much-bootlegged set that's rightly praised as one of their finest early performances—check out the explosive "Dazed and Confused" for proof. Janis Joplin brought her signature blues wail back to her home state, though the highlight is her achingly sweet rendition of the Bee Gees' "To Love Somebody." Sly and the Family Stone's typically buoyant performance caught the group at one of their ecstatic onstage peaks. The best way to experience the Texas Inter-Pop Festival, however, is via a hazy documentary that cherrypicks some of the best performances and features copious scene-setting audience footage.
Toronto Rock and Roll Revival (September 13)
As captured in renowned documentarian D.A. Pennebaker's film Sweet Toronto, the Toronto Rock and Roll Revival assembled a Mount Rushmore of early rock'n'roll heroes. Forget Woodstock's cringe-worthy pastiche artists Sha Na Na—Jerry Lee Lewis, Bo Diddley, Chuck Berry, and Little Richard all deliver lean-and-mean performances that sound positively punky compared to some of their descendants' increasingly overblown trips. But this festival is probably best remembered for the unannounced closing set from John Lennon and Yoko Ono, accompanied by an all-star (if very under-rehearsed) band featuring Eric Clapton, Alan White, and Klaus Voorman. After the group cruises shakily through a handful of oldies, as well as the Beatles' own "Yer Blues" and the brand new "Give Peace a Chance," things take a decidedly left turn. It's intense. Yoko howls mercilessly while John conjures up excoriating feedback in proto-no wave fashion. The audience was likely bewildered, but Lennon loved it. "The buzz was incredible," he raved. "I never felt so good in all my life."

Creating dungeons just got easier. With the Instant Dungeon Creator Map Pack, you can create unique dungeons over and over. This pack has 39 maps fully furnished containing 38 different rooms and 26 hallways. Each map conveniently connects to previous maps creating a seamless labyrinth of unending passages. Rooms and furnishings include alchemy lab, barracks, dining hall, kitchen, library, armory, barracks, torture chamber, jail cells, burial chambers and more.
Tokens from Dan DiPietro's art packs have been used to furnish rooms in this pack. Have your own tokens? Not a problem. Create new rooms as the Instant Dungeon Creator also includes 30 empty rooms and hallways which you can adorn in any way you choose.
Each map is 10x10 and can easily be turned or moved around. Need an example? Not a problem, see how it works in Roll20 on my YouTube Channel.
This art collection is set up for both virtual tabletop games. Tokens are downloaded as .png or .jpg files. This artwork is perfect for VTTs, such as Roll20, which I have personally tested in my own games and works perfectly for plug and play.
By purchasing this set you are granted a Creative Commons License for small commercial products as long as you place attribution in your final product.
(1) Place the image files into a zip folder for easier download. It's annoying to have to download dozens of individual JPEG files and takes FOREVER even though they are all relatively small files.
(2) The method for naming images is equally annoying. Image titles are 100+ characters long and the run-on names make it difficult to quickly identify the tiles I'm looking for. Example... "InstantDungeonCreator_BridgeHallbronzefigureiconmarblesculpturecastemblemdecorationartprophecyiconlordgodshrinepraypassagecavepathoverlook_vtt"
Hi Andrew, thank you for your note. I have updated the files to be in a zip folder. As for the odd naming method, the reason they are long is that they are set up for your VTT search engine so they can be found quickly.
Within the 10x10 tile limit, and the artists' thematic ambiance and textures, this set is a very nice assortment of room layouts and a fair set to purchase.
The floor tiles themselves are very nice, without the obvious repetitious 10x10 floor looking the same for each tile. While some individual tiles are duplicated within a 10x10 grid, each 10x10 grid has a different "randomized layout" feel of individual tiles.
The walls have a different texture, the ambiance of the walls does not match the floors, being a little cartoony for my taste. The doors are all stone and do not stand out from the wall texture well. There is a good mixture of wall thicknesses, as the walls are not all 1" or ½", and will vary within a tile.
The furnished rooms have a very cartoon feel for dungeon items. The Catacombs- Sarcophagi vault looks more...See more like a sarcophagi storage room, and the dungeon entrance, well, I like a little more hidden from view and difficult to find.
Rating: Not my taste, but fits into a dungeon "theme". Individual tile comments below.
The larger rooms do not have an impost protruding into the room for ceiling supporting arches (there is only one "unfurnished" room with columns) so there is no feel for room height or ceiling support; however, it easy enough to add your own columns where you would prefer them.
Further limiting the height (or depth if you prefer), only one angular stair down, (none up). One tile has steps within a room, but a weak feel for up or down and is the only room with a possible multi-level floor. There are 2 tiles with a pit, one to a portal (good option) and one down to a sarcophagus. This tile option is not available as an unfurnished room.
Many statues throughout. There are no wells, pools or fountains, thus no water source. You can always overly these items where you feel necessary.
The armories are well stocked, (actually, they look less of a cartoon) however the kitchen is less so. The sleeping chamber tiles have the right mix of a privileged quarter and the crowded "You are lucky to even have a bed" and even a "Sleep on the floor" chamber.
The prison uses man cages which are a nice touch.
A couple of corridor tiles are duplicated with only lighting changes. Disregarding the furnishings and room presets (as you can populate the dungeon with other items and furnishings as you can overlay a slew of options), obviously missing is a plain straight corridor. As there are also no stairs up, spiral stairs, or corridor stairs, one straight stair corridor and one angled corridor with landing would be nice. A plain 10x10 floor tile, no walls would also be nice. These 4 tiles, to maintain the dungeon theme, should be included.
Secondary wish to complete the thematic set would be a 10x10 large room corner (walls east side/northside) with corresponding northside/eastside/both northside and eastside entrances (4 tiles total), a 10x10 large room side (wall eastside) with corresponding eastside entrance (2 tiles total).
Overall a nice set and I look forward to you expanding upon your interpretation of the 10x10 tile theme.

"Obey God, rather than men" – Acts 5.29
Posted on March 14, 2012	by Ignis Dei
Wednesday of the Third Week in Lent
In vain do they worship Me, teaching doctrines and commandments of men (Mt. 15.9).
The prevalent opinion concerning the normative or the "ordinary" (Pope Benedict XVI, "Summorum Pontificum") celebration of the New Rite of the "Mass" (the "Novus Ordo Missae") in post-Vatican II parishes is that, by the so-called Apostolic Constitution "Missale Romanum" of Pope Paul VI issued on April 3, 1969, the said Roman Pontiff instituted the "Novus Ordo Missae" to replace the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Rite. Consequently, to refuse to offer this New "Mass" is a serious violation of Church law. And to question it on doctrinal grounds is tantamount to questioning the doctrine of Papal Infallibility.
Lie # 1: the exaggerated notion of Papal Infallibility by those prelates, clergymen, religious, and lay 'commentators' who claim to be 'loyal' to and in 'full' communion with the Holy See as regards the Papal pronouncements and acts bearing on the New 'Catholic Order' of Vatican II built on the New "Mass"* – that these must be unquestionably adhered to and irrevocably carried out.
* The Traditional Catholic Order of things has the Traditional Rite of Catholic Worship for its foundation: "lex orandi, lex credendi," that is, how one prays shows what one believes.
On the contrary, they can never prove, by the same Papal document in that form originally issued in Latin, that Pope Paul Vi intended it as an irrevocable decree equal to or even greater than edict (the Papal Bull "Quo Primum") of Pope St. Pius V who, claiming to be speaking in the capacity of the Supreme Legislator of the Church and exercising his Sovereign Apostolic Authority, ordained that the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Rite is the norm and ordinary form "in perpetuum" with the curse of the "wrath of the Almighty God and of the Apostles Peter and Paul" as the inevitable divine sanction against those who would impiously dare contravene his irrevocable Papal injunction.
Proofs:
The forgeries of the Vatican Press Bureau which came into the hands of the Freemasons [Annibale Bugnini, a Freemason in the trappings of a Catholic prelate, was running the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship, cf., our post "The Catholic Sanctuary Prefigured in the Old Testament II"]:
a. Pope Paul's "Missale Romanum" published in the official "Acta Apostolicae Sedis" (3 April 1969, Vol. LXI, N. 4, pp. 221-222) contains this Bureau's insertion (2nd of the document's last three paragraphs):
"Quae Constitutione hac Nostra praescripsimus vigere incipient a die XXX proximi mensis Novembris hoc anno, id est a Dominica I Adventus" (We order that this Constitution go into effect November 30th of this year [1969], the first Sunday of Advent.).
That the above text was the Bureau's insertion is made explicit first by the last paragraph following it:
"Nostra haec autem statuta et praescripta nunc et in posterum firma et efficacia esse et fore volumus…" (We wish that this our decreesand prescriptions may be firm and effective now [3 April 1969 perhaps].
Note how the second paragraph "orders" that the New Missal composed under the overseership of a Freemason was to become official November 30, 1969; whereas, the last paragraph "whishes" that the same bastard Missal prepared by a Freemason with the collaboration of Protestant 'ministers' be "firm and effective" April 3, 1969 (or, perhaps, earlier; the Popes normally indicate the date of effectivity but in this document, the "now" was not specified).
The point we're making: the whole weight of Pope Paul's published Act suppressing the Traditional Latin Mass and introducing a mere counterfeit "Mass", having been designed, with its suitable "table" in its suitable refashioned sanctuary, by a Freemason rests on two or three recurring official terms:
i. "confidimus" ("we hope," "we trust," "we have confidence that," "we wish"): "Haud secus Nos, etsi, deprae scripto Concilii Vaticani II, in Novum Missale legitimas varietates et aptationes ascivimus, nihilo tamen secus fore confidimus…" ("While leaving room in the New Missal, according to the order of the Second Vatican Council, for legitimate variations and adaptations, we hope…").
ii. "volumus" ("we wish," "we desire"), see the last paragraph quoted above.
Terms which do not carry with them a solemn 'infallible' tone of command to force the whole Latin Church to worship through the New "Mass" the alien 'god' of the New 'Catholic Theology'. The New "Mass", with the prevailing New 'Catholic' disorder built on it, is nothing but a 'pet project' in accordance with Pope Paul's pastoral pleasures. The Freemasons running the Vatican Press Bureau found that the Roman Pontiff's words necessary for the whole Latin Church to bow, in the name of "obedience", to their idol under the appearance of a loving and merciful 'god' who "loves and heals unrepentant sinners" (cf., our post "The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II 'Catholicism'"), to be anything but weak and emaciated. These most impious people therefore tried to firm up with the phrase "we order" Pope Paul's Act but did it in such a lousy and stupid manner as to effect a contradiction in the 'official' effectivity of the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass in our sanctuaries, thinking that all Catholics must be as dumb as or dumber than they are. This, it highly seems, is the closest that Satan could get, in this end-times period, in his attempt to overturn the Church by capitalizing once more on the weakness of Cephas as he sift[ed] [him] as wheat (Lk. 22.31).
b. a mistranslation of the first of the last three paragraphs of Pope Paul's document which was immediately sent around the world:
"Ad extremum, ex iis quae hactenus de novo Missali Romano exposuimus quiddam nunc cogere et efficere placet" ("Concerning all that we have just set forth regarding the New Roman Missal, We are now pleased to end by drawing a conclusion).
Whereas, the Freemason-run Vatican Press Bureau, after the most "perfidious" (the Traditional Roman Missal") manner of the Synagogue of Satan (Apoc. 2.9; 3.9) – the mother of Freemasonry – rendered it: "In conclusion, we wish to give the force of law to all that we have set forth concerning the New Missal." Hence, the second paragraph which "orders" the 'official' effectivity of the suppression of the Traditional Latin Mass on November 30, 1969 drew its "force" from the diabolical designs of those men of perdition – the "order" was not by the Roman Pontiff but by those subverted men of the Synagogue secretly entered in (Jude 1.4).
Lie # 2: "those who refuse to celebrate the New 'Mass' of Pope Paul VI constitute a serious violation of Church law."
On the contrary, in the light of what have been presented
1. from the foregoing:
a. Pope Paul's Consitution "Missale Romanum" resting on his mere personal "wish," "hope," and pleasure can never bind Catholic consciences under pain of eternal perdition. In fact, there are even no sanctions threatened by his Act.
b. The New "Mass" then and Pope Paul's Constitution with which he tried to institute it does not involve Papal Infallibility. In fact, Pope Paul's Constitution was null and void from the beginning by virtue of the irrevocable decree issued with an explicitly solemn exercise of Papal Infallibility by Pope St. Pius V.
Objection: a Pope is not bound by his predecessors; he can abrogate their Acts as the Popes in the past had already done.
We reply: Men of Faith are wont to be bound by the infallible and irrevocable teachings, judgments, and sentences of the Sovereign Pontiff as to be bound by the eternally valid teachings, judgments, and sentences of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Only those men who are of weak faith, or without faith and pretend to have it can protest that they are not bound by a mere man.
2. from our post, "The Ultimate Delusion of Vatican II 'Catholicism'": a Pope can never "order" Catholics to sin by transgressing the First Commandment, worshipping an alien 'god' through the New "Mass" or even attending such a sacrilegious rite.
Pope Paul VI, in instituting Bugnini's New "Mass", defied God in spite of His decree through the irrevocable injunction made by Pope St. Pius V concerning the perpetually normative celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass of the Roman Rite. It is not a violation of divine decrees and neither of Church laws then to refuse and even resist what Pope Paul VI merely wished to accomplish by his Act with which he defied God.

US Marines deny being bested by British commandos in California exercise
In a rare spat among two leading NATO allies. the US Marine Corps issued a statement denying having surrendered to British counterparts in a recent training exercise in California. The denial on Saturday, Nov.6 follows claims in British media since Tuesday that British Royal Marines commandos had "dominated" the US Marines during the Green Dagger exercise in the Mojave Desert Twentynine Palms training area and forced them to surrender, after most of their unit was "annihilated". It was further claimed that US troops asked for a "reset" halfway through the exercise after suffering extensive casualties.
The British forces said they had not only defeated the Americans, by successfully targeting their headquarters, using long-range artillery to destroy US vehicles and other targets, and launching a long-range commando raid, but vastly expanded the territory they controlled from less than 20% to more than 65% of the exercise area. This claim was first reported by the London Telegraph defense correspondent Dominic Nicholls.
The official Twitter account for 40 Commando Royal Marines also declared that British forces had emerged "victorious" at the end of the exercise. Taking part in the war game were also Netherlands, Canada and the United Arab Emirates.
While the dispute between US and UK armed forces is far from over, DEBKAfile's security sources take a look at the new tactics introduced for British special forces. Under the motto "Too Stubborn to Die," they are now being trained to "confidently operate in an environment jammed with enemy electronic warfare systems. The UK Ministry of Defense explained that the Green Dagger battle exercise "tested the deployment of the new Littoral Response Group (LRG) in a guerrilla war fighting against well-equipped US Marine Corps opponents. The LRG is one of two new Royal Navy task groups focused on commando forces that are able to respond to world events, with one to be based in Europe and another, LRG South in Oman " READ MORE

Earth Hour, the world's largest collective environmental movement, has united millions of people across 180 countries to turn their attention towards preserving the earth's natural resources and promoting the use of renewable energy. This year's theme is "Reduce, Rethink, Change the Way We Live" and focuses on eliminating unnecessary single-use plastics, sustainable consumption, and a reduction in our ecological footprint.
The lead-up to Earth Hour included awareness-raising activities for students, the public and the business sector. WWF's One Planet ambassadors took part in a tram parade while at the Earth Hour Village at Tsim Sha Tsui, educational games, VR booth and film screening raised public awareness of the urgent need to preserve the earth's biodiversity and safeguard Hong Kong's remaining ecologically important areas and species from development pressures.
The Earth Hour 2019 countdown, held at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre in Tsim Sha Tsui Piazza, was officiated by Mr Wong Kam-sing, GBS, JP, Secretary for the Environment of the Hong Kong S.A.R.; Mr Liu Zhi Ming, Deputy Inspector of the Department of Educational, Scientific and Technological Affairs, Liaison Office of the Central People's Government in the Hong Kong S.A.R.; Mr Wang Tianyi, CEO of China Everbright International Limited; Mr Shun Chi-ming, JP, Director of the Hong Kong Observatory; Mr Edward M. HO, Chairman of Board of WWF-Hong Kong; Mr Peter Cornthwaite, CEO of WWF-Hong Kong; along with our Earth Hour 2019 ambassadors, Ms Kay Tse and Mr Michael Tong.

Mr Wong Kam-sing, GBS, JP, Secretary for the Environment, said, "To tackle climate change, we must support low-carbon transformation in Hong Kong. Pursuant to the Paris Agreement, the government has set out a carbon emission target by 2030 and invited the Council for Sustainable Development (SDC) to conduct a public engagement exercise to develop a long-term carbon reduction target by 2050. Low-carbon transformation requires united support from government, various stakeholders, and the public, including by reducing energy use and waste in our daily life. The Environmental Bureau launched the 'Low Carbon Living Calculator' to help citizens assess their carbon emission related to clothing, food, living and travel, sharing tips on how to reduce carbon emissions. Let's change the way we live. Reduce! Rethink! Mitigate climate change together."
Mr WongKam-sing, GBS, JP, Secretary for the Environment of the Hong Kong S.A.R. said that public support is essential if Hong Kong is to realize the low carbon transformation.
Mr Wang Tianyi, CEO of China Everbright International Limited, Earth Hour's lead sponsor for six consecutive years, declared that, "As a world-renowned ecological and environmental enterprise, Everbright International is committed to its corporate mission of being 'Devoted to Ecology and the Environment for a Beautiful China' and its aspiration to 'Create Better Investment Value and Undertake More Social Responsibility'. It has been taking action to contribute to environmental protection. The Group is committed to its environmental and social responsibilities for many years through advanced and efficient facilities and management. So far, it has converted approximately 70 million tonnes of waste into 29 billion kWh of electricity, which can satisfy the electricity consumption needs of 24 million families, changing decayed for magical. In addition, the Group treats nearly 5 million m3 of waste water on a daily basis, draining away contaminants and bringing in clean water."
Mr Wang Tianyi, CEO of China Everbright International Limited, Earth Hour's lead sponsor for six consecutive years, said that corporates can invest more in the environmental protection industry for the sake of the next generation and support sustainable development.
Mr Edward M. Ho,Chairman of Board of WWF-Hong Kong, said, 'Hong Kong community has become more environmentally conscious in recent years, an example is that some restaurants have stopped providing single-use plastic tableware. However, there is still room for improvement. There are not enough sustainable alternatives in the market so many caterers and consumers still find it inconvenient to make behavioural change. WWF-Hong Kong calls on the government to regulate single-use plastics in the F&B industry, by setting a timeline for phasing out all single-use plastic tableware from 2021 and banning polystyrene in 2022.'
An array of landmarks and iconic buildings also turned their lights off to support Earth Hour, including the Tsing Ma Bridge, International Finance Centre, the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, International Commerce Centre, the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, the Hong Kong Observation Wheel, Government House, the Chief Executive's office and the Legislative Council complex. The daily harbour front light show "The Symphony of Lights" was also suspended for Earth Hour.
Kay Tse has been Earth Hour ambassador for eleven consecutive year, she stressed the importance of small changes in daily life, such us bringing own lunch boxes and using reusable utensils. Another Earth Hour ambassador, Michael Tong, said plastic pollution is aggravating and human should take up the responsibility by stop using single-used plastic. Moreover, Shun Chi-ming said climate change boost storm surge, which unveil the serious marine litter problem.

PM Yıldırım: We'll be relentless in rooting out Gülenists from wherever they are
by TurkeyPurge | Oct 10, 2016 | Anti-Gulen, Hate Speech, Human Rights Abuses
Turkish Prime Minister Binali Yıldırım told fellow deputies from Justice and Development Party (AKP) in a meetin on Friday that they will be relentless in rooting out FETO, a derogatory term coined by AKP government to refer to Gülen movement symphatizers, from wherever they are, a daily reported.
"We have to root FETO members out from wherever they are. Of course, there will be mistakes while we do it, because there is nothing called FETOmatik [to easily detect them]. Lets cleanse them, but we should not be fooled. We will be relentless in this issue. A weakness at this point will endanger our cause," Yıldırım said and Hürriyet daily reported on Saturday.
Speaking to groups of AKP deputies in Ankara on Friday, Yıldırım told lawmakers that they have convine the public against Gülen movement, a civil society movement inspired by the views of US-based Turkish scholar Fethullah Gülen who AKP accuses him of masterminding failed coup attempt on July 15 and previously a corruption probe in December 2013 against AKP.
Despite Gülen rejected any involvement in both the cases, AKP government dismissed over 110,000 people from state jobs, more than 50,000 detained and over 32,000 arrested since July 15. AKP government also shut down more than 2,000 educational institutions, 1,250 business and charitable foundations, 180 media outlets at this period.
During his speech, Yılldırım also said that claims of victimhood and suffering are too much exaggerated in the public. "This thing [crackdown] is huge. There might be some mistakes," he said.
According to the reports in Turkish media, Governor's Offices across Turkey began receiving applications from those who claim to be victimized by government crackdown on Gülen movement despite they don't have any links with the movement. Reports says that people started sending informatory letters to government websites against people in their family members, neighborhood and even in AKP for alleged membership of FETO.

Q: Select in batch mode from JDBC for distinct entities I have a cascade queries from distinct tables/views/joins/whatever from my some SQL DB to process outer requests to my service.
One request is dependent on another.
For example, to process the purchase order I have the next queries:

*

*select for order and its properties;

*select all bills queued for this order;

*select for payments for this order;

*select for items in order;

*select customer's selected item variants for each item in order;

*select possible shipment companies;

*et cetera...

How could I select data from SQL database in distinct queries, and all of them return data in one round-trip?
The simple way is to join everything and doing row-mapping denormalized data from ResultSet to DTO objects. But there is additional overhead to aggregate fetched result with distinct entities along with consistency check (and this this computational complexity increased as O(n^m) where m is equal to entities count).
Traditional approach makes all total JDBC-queries for the one request to my service to look as weird staircase on Gantt chart :(
