CDC updates deaths from cantaloupe listeria outbreak
By Colin Caywood on February 22, 2012
Today the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) updated the number of listeria deaths linked to the nationwide listeria outbreak from contaminated cantaloupes to 32. The number, however, could reach 36 or more depending on how many deaths are officially attributed to the outbreak.
Michael Booth, from the Denver Post, writes:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Wednesday it has updated the death toll from Colorado's cantaloupe listeria to 32, but the two added most recently occurred "well before" Dec. 8.
Since that date, there have been at least four deaths of patients linked to the same listeria strain, but whose actual cause of death may take months to determine. One of those cases was Mike Hauser, a retired Monument podiatrist with multiple complications who died Tuesday.
The CDC said it is up to state and local officials whether more recent deaths are officially attributed to the outbreak.
In addition to Mr. Hauser, Bill Marler, food safety lawer and managing partner of Marler Clark, counts the deaths of Paul Schwarz, 92, of Kansas City, Missouri, and Sharon Jones, 62, of Castle Rock, Colorado, as victims of the outbreak.

Lily Allen's daughter had life-threatening illness
Lily Allen feared for her daughter's life after she was diagnosed with a life-threatening illness, which caused her to struggle breathing and eating.
Lily Allen's baby daughter was struck down with a life-threatening illness.
The Hard Out Here singer feared for two-year-old Ethel's life after she was diagnosed with laryngomalacia - a condition that causes the larynx to collapse into the airway - when she was just 12 months old.
Speaking on BBC Radio 4's Desert Island Discs, she explained: "It's [the illness is] basically a problem with the throat. She was working so hard to breathe, to just exist really, and she wasn't really gaining any weight at all.
"Because all of the food she was taking on, she was just expending the energy on this breathing process.
"I was scared of losing her the whole time, all I wanted to do was just breast-feed her and to sit there in my chair with her and spend those precious hours into the night looking after your child."
The 29-year-old star - who also has 16-month-old daughter Marnie with her husband Sam Cooper - admits the treatment process for Ethel didn't run smoothly and she ended up being fed via a tube for eight months.
Lily - who suffered a stillbirth in 2010 - recalled: "When she was really, really little the doctors said she had to have an operation to correct it and then that didn't work so she had to have it again.
"And she was tiny, she'd lost so much weight and then as a result of that, because of what happened before with my previous [baby], it was just a really tough time."
However, the brunette beauty insists Ethel is "absolutely fine now".

Texas Longhorns Coach Flips Umpire the Bird After Getting Ejected
Rob Breaux Published: May 13, 2022
The Big 12 Softball tournament is underway. The Texas Longhorns ended the Red Raiders' season in the opening round, punching their ticket to the semifinals against Oklahoma State.
At the conclusion of the first inning, the Longhorns coach didn't like a call the umpires made, and neither did the team's Twitter account.
Longhorns Head Softball Coach Mike White had words with the third-base umpire after the disagreement and was tossed from the game for his argument. White was escorted to the dugout where he rallied the crowd, then turned back toward the diamond and threw a textbook finger bird to the umpire crew.
ESPN caught the magnificent sign language on the broadcast.
Oklahoma fans in attendance threw some hand gestures back to White as he exited the field after the ejection.
Kids everywhere are now ruined because of White's decisions, according to Eddie Radosevich, who is the self-proclaimed leader of the horns down for peace movement.
White took to Twitter following the game to apologize for his actions with a written statement on Twitter. White said, "Out of frustration I did something while leaving the field of play that I regret, and I hope that my apology will be accepted for my uncharacteristic indiscretion."
Does anyone really think that Mike White, the man who auto-flipped the bird while leaving the field, doesn't characteristically use the bird in his daily life? Doubtful. The bird is also characteristic of the Longhorns in general.
For what it's worth, Oklahoma State won the game, 6-1.

Like Pillars Of Stone Forever Stand.
January 5, 2006 at 6:55 pm	(Uncategorized)
Maybe you caught it as a brief blurb on CNN, MSNBC, or FOX News during the past few days. Perhaps you saw it at a music-related website. In the cold, sterile milieu of arial type, it reads standard, if a bit horrific:
LOS ANGELES – Bryan Harvey, singer-guitarist for the two-man '80s rock band House of Freaks, was found dead with his wife and two children in the family's Richmond VA, home over the weekend.
Harvey, 49, his wife Kathryn, 39, and their children, Stella, 9, and Ruby, 4, were found Sunday in the basement of their burning home. A Richmond Police Department spokeswoman said the bodies were bound but added that no cause of death was being released. Local news reports said the victims' throats were cut.
Nothing in those words conveys what a loss this is. While being in a band called "House Of Freaks" might make it seem like Harvey played in a group of addled miscreants, nothing could be further from the truth. House of Freaks were one of the most literate, interesting, and, well, heartful rock band of the pre-Nirvana alt-rock era. That Bryan Harvey was perhaps the kindest, gentlest, funniest (and most down-to-earth and modest) person I've met in 30 years of music fanboy-ism is just an aside.
I met Bryan for the first time in 1988. House Of Freaks were opening for They Might Be Giants at the old Blue Note on the Business Loop. KCOU, the student station up there had a symbiotic relationship with The Note, and so it was sort of our unspoken duty to try to corral folks who were playing there and bring them to the station, do a 15-minute interview to promote their show that night, and then get them back to the club.
Now, I'd never heard this band, so I had no idea what to expect, but the three other bands I'd been forced to interview to that point in my fledgling career were awful bands who made awful music–I was the noob at that point. I didn't get to interview Soul Asylum or The Violent Femmes. I got crap bands like Caterwaul. Ugh.
So I arrive at the club, and House of Freaks is finishing their sound check, and I realize that I've never EVER seen a band that looks like this. For one thing, despite the fact that both members of the band (yeah, they were just a 2-piece band, guitars and drums, more than a decade before the White Stripes) looked like a couple of cleancut college boys, they were creating a hell of a racket. Drummer Johnny Hott didn't play a drum kit–instead he had a large, inverted oil drum on stage, with a crash cymbal and a washboard attached to it, and appeared to be playing it with a couple of huge wooden wire brush handles. Occasionally he'd reach over and begin beating the living hell out of a beat-up snare and tom drum that were arranged strategically to the side of the oil drum. It sounded bloody fantastic.
But after you got used to that, you focused on the guitarist and singer, Bryan Harvey. Although he was the only guy on stage, it sure sounded like there were at least 2 guitars *and a bass* playing at the same time. Using a "thumb-over" fretting technique and playing a ton of open strings, he was up there putting to shame groups that needed more musicians to get their thing done. When he sang, Harvey didn't sound like the 6'2″ linebacker he resembled. Instead his voice had a sweet, late-period John Lennon-ish quality that made it hard to believe that these guys were from Richmond, VA.
Better yet, they were great guys. We hung out before and after the show. They invited me to join 'em for dinner. The next year they were touring on an even better record than their debut. We hung out again, I roadtripped to Lawrence to see them at the Bottlecap, and it was worth the trip. Thanks to a part-time low-paying gig with an independent promotions company, I got a chance to work with and for these guys promoting their third record, and when Harvey did a side-project with a couple of other college-rock allstars calling themselves Gutterball, we got them airplay on The Point and KSHE in St. Louis.
I have Harvey's email address. We'd occasionally exchange pleasantries by that means, or on web forums devoted to Harvey's peripheral music acquaintances. Bryan quit the music industry in 1995, not because he didn't have offers, but because he was married and wanted to start a family, settle down in his hometown, and never have to tour again. Occasionally friends like Cracker or Sparklehorse would drag him into the studio for help, since Harvey was an ace guitarist and professional to the core, but other than that he was content to play around his hometown with his jokingly-named cover band NrG Krysys, having fun and making a few extra bucks on the weekends away from his job as a computer tech for the school district there.
And now he's dead. Killed in his basement with his wife and his two little girls, their throats slashed, an arson started unsuccessfully to try to cover the crime scene. Perhaps you'll wonder if drugs were involved. I don't know, but I would say that it would be completely out of character. I never saw Bryan touch anything, and even saw him refuse a few joints when offered at various shindigs. It wasn't his personality, and just wasn't his thing, and thats why cops are baffled at this point, because that doesn't seem to be a possible motive.
And slowly the new services pick up the story as a human-interest piece, and you'll read parenthetically that Harvey was a musician, and maybe you'll read that his band got their videos on "120 Minutes" back in the day on MTV. None of that conveys what a great songwriter and musician he was, though.
You know how there's a certain inherent contradiction in Uncle Tupelo/Son Volt/Wilco that makes them so brilliant? You know, that whole celebrating the culture of where those guys are from while sort of decrying the more fucked-up aspects of it? Yeah, House Of Freaks nailed that. Harvey was proud as hell of his Virginia roots, but also loathing of that whole legacy of slavery/racial injustice that goes with it. Unlike most bands who are proud to be southern, though, Harvey was willing to take that on head-up and deal with it. So, you'd get songs like "White Folks Blood" that articulates it better than anyone who ever tried to in a pop song. In three minutes, Harvey managed as much southern gothic explication as Flannery O'Connor, William Faulkner, or Harry Crews ever did. By following it up with maybe the only great rock and roll song to invoke Civil War symbiology, "Big Houses", he pretty much did the best job I know of in getting to the emotions of being proud of your heritage, even if you're not so proud of everything it stood for.
Thankfully for us music geeks, last year the band's old label, Rhino, made their first two albums and ep available in a deluxe reissued set, and if any description of what a great band the Freaks really were moved you, I urge you to do the right thing and pick 'em up.
I managed to make the drive down Tuesday for one of the many memorial services and vigils being held in Richmond. I couldn't believe the impact Bryan and his wife Kathryn and their two little girls had on that community, how many lives they'd touched; apparently over a thousand people gathered outside their house last night in the cold to pay tribute in a candlelight remembrance. I hope they find his killers, and they are brought to swift justice. I hope I'll someday be able to listen to one of my favorite bands and hear Bryan's voice and be able to not think about what his final moments on earth were like.
For now, all I have is the music. It'll have to do for now.

Records release in broken legs case 'significant'

Records release in broken legs case 'significant' Courier-Journal wins access to records of police internal review files in case of how it investigated teen's brutal injuries at a JCPS school. Check out this story on courier-journal.com: https://www.courier-journal.com/story/news/2017/10/04/louisville-police-investigation-open-records-law-first-amendment/713433001/

Reversing a long-standing practice, Louisville Metro Police released records sought by the Courier-Journal of an internal review of its own police conduct by the Professional Standards Unit.
Jon Fleischaker, a lawyer for the Courier-Journal, said the decision represents a significant open records victory in gaining access to files the police department had routinely refused to release.
"It doesn't change the law," Fleischaker said. "But it is significant in that it makes sure an important public agency like the city police deals with what the law is instead of what it wishes it were."
The records involve an internal review into how well police detectives handled the investigation of a disabled teen who suffered two fractured legs after he was restrained by a teacher's aide at a Jefferson County public school.
►Early pension reform plan could be released within days
►Could U of L player and coaches take stand in FBI case?
►JCPS test scores dip while Kentucky numbers remain flat
LMPD Chief Steve Conrad ordered the investigation last year after the Courier-Journal reported that the department's Crimes Against Children Unit initially had declined to accept the case for investigation and that alleged delays may have hampered the ability to bring charges.
No one has been charged in the case that left Brennan Long, then 16, with spiral, or twisting fractures to the femurs, the longest and strongest bones in the body.
The Courier-Journal on Sept. 5 had requested all records related to the internal review. But the police released only a brief letter from Conrad initiating the investigation and brief letters from Conrad to each of the three officers involved, stating that the allegations were "not sustained" and no disciplinary action would result.
"... It is significant in that it makes sure an important public agency like the city police deals with what the law is instead of what it wishes it were."
Jon Fleischaker
All other records were exempt from disclosure, it said, citing in part a 1982 law that allowed it to withhold preliminary documents.
But Fleischaker said subsequent court decisions have made clear the public is entitled to all records of such investigations once they are complete and final action has been taken.
The Courier-Journal challenged the refusal in a Sept. 22 letter to Attorney General Andy Beshear, asking his office for an opinion on whether the police had violated state open records law. It said the Courier-Journal is entitled to the records because Conrad had in his letters to the officers said his action represented "final action" following a "thorough" investigation.
On Sept. 27, Jefferson County Attorney Mike O'Connell's office, representing the police, said that after further discussion, the department had decided to release the files.
The file, obtained Friday by the Courier-Journal, contains hundreds of pages of memos, interviews, transcripts and other material gathered by the Professional Standards Unit as part of its investigation.
It concludes that allegations of violations of department policy are "not sustained," a neutral finding that neither proves nor disproves the allegation.

Sleepoverland
Wo Go Duck
One of the best and most consistent songwriters in kids' music, Justin Roberts has just released Jungle Gym, his seventh album for families. And, while there are a few differences between a great song for adults and one for families -- the amount of cursing, for example -- the two are often similar. Take, for example, "We Go Duck," the opening track from Jungle Gym: With an infectious chorus, elegant rhymes and hand claps, it's a perfect summer party song that just happens to be about the game Duck Duck Goose.
While avoiding lesson songs, Roberts paints spot-on portraits of how kids view the big and small events of their lives: haircuts, broken arms or temporarily losing Mom at the shopping mall. And even though summer is just beginning, I can't stop listening to the instant Halloween classic "Trick or Treat."
Roberts' greatest songwriting gift lies in his ability to tell these stories from a child's perspective without sacrificing an adult's point of view. "Sleepoverland" starts out anticipating the adventures its youthful protagonist will enjoy at an upcoming slumber party, but adult listeners will recognize the mixture of bravado and vulnerability in the boy's desire to set up a string-can phone back to his house so his parents can call him and tell him how much they miss him.
With Jungle Gym, Roberts continues to craft masterpieces in miniature, equivalent to A.A. Milne's Winnie the Pooh or Kevin Henkes' stories for children. Like those books, Roberts' songs are likely to reach across and through generations.

Opal Deposits near the Valles Marineris.
The compositional diversity of Mars was poorly known until a fleet of missions began mapping the surface with thermal and near-infrared spectrometers a dozen years ago.
CRISM on MRO is the latest of these instruments and targeted this particular region because exotic minerals had been detected nearby. Both sulfates and hydrated silica have been identified in this area by their near-infrared spectral signatures. The minerals were discovered near the rim of the giant Valles Marineris canyon system, in light toned layered deposits thought to be Hesperian in age (around 3 billion years old). The sulfates are spectrally similar to jarosite, a potassium iron sulphate hydroxide. The silica appears to lack a clear crystal structure and is thought to be made up of amorphous opal, which can contain up to 20 percent water.
If these interpretations are correct, the mineral assemblage suggests precipitation of the minerals from low temperature acidic fluids or formation by low temperature aqueous alteration of basalt. HiRISE images of light toned layered deposits elsewhere near the Valles Marineris show inverted channels and other morphological indications that the sediments were once saturated with water.
This HiRISE image gives some clues to how the minerals are expressed on the surface. The banded bedrock is visible beneath a partial cover of much younger dunes. Bright, relatively white bands can be seen to alternate with slightly redder layers. These bright bands could be concentrations of opal. The darker bands might correspond to concentrations of brown jarosite. The minerals may have segregated because of gradients in the temperature or acidity of the fluid.
These Martian deposits are not likely to be made up of pure opal of gemstone quality. However, opals and cherts on Earth are well known to preserve fossils and other biological evidence. Even a small sample of one of the bright bands in this scene would be priceless.

Trae Young: Stepping Out of an Overwhelming Shadow
Filip Dimitrovski, Staff Writer
For the first three months of the NBA season, it was almost impossible to mention 2019's fifth overall pick, Trae Young, without being associated to the trade that went down the night he was drafted.
Despite being a very high-level talent, Young was immediately overshadowed by being traded for a standout rookie who was having a historic first season in Luka Dončic. Aside from the trade and them both being rookies, that's essentially the only commonality the pair share. Being compared to Dončic so early into the season was unfair for more than just the lack of connection between the two; as mentioned, Dončic was having a historic rookie season that would overshadow any rookie in the current class.
It didn't help that within the same first three months of the season, Young's shot was really inefficient and he was one of the league's worst defenders. Since the turn of the calendar year though, Trae Young has been nothing short of spectacular for his age.
Coming into the league, the comparisons of Trae Young to Steph Curry were made by many casual watchers, but there's much more to Young's game than just the outside shooting. The intangible trait of Young that was put most under a microscope in the drafting process was his size– or lack thereof. Trae Young is small, and cannot be very physical because of it; that isn't made to be hidden here. Despite being undersized, he still remains adamant to be aggressive around the rim. At 17.6 per game, Trae Young is third in the NBA in drives per game, ahead of rim destroyers like Russell Westbrook, Giannis Antetokounmpo and LeBron James (and well pretty much everyone else besides Harden & DeRozan). Though his finishing has regressed a bit since his hot start to the season, even the act of driving that often shows promise. The shooting around 53% from within 5 feet strikes red some flags for now, but guards to tend to find their rhythm inside with time.
Trae's early season "woes" have really been turned on their heads as the calendar year shifted to 2019. In the last two months, he has been the best rookie in the league.
There's a series of numbers Young has put up in this stretch that historically match up with some of the league's greatest players ever. Trae Young has been on a ridiculous scoring tear as of late, resulting in him leading the entire league in total points scored since the all-star break.
A three-game stretch in late February saw the Hawk post 35 points and five or more assists in three consecutive outings, putting him heights only Michael Jordan and Allen Iverson have ever reached as rookies. This streak climaxed with the standout game of the year when the Hawks lost to the Chicago Bulls, but not before pushing them to four overtime periods in the highest-scoring game of the season with the Bulls finally winning 168-161.
History has shown that marquee players experience a single game where the tide completely shifts a player from prospect to future star and that four OT loss might be Trae Young's single-game pivot. In the game, Trae posted a ridiculous 49 points, 16 assists and eight rebounds, which is a historic statline in a multitude of different qualifications. In the game, Young was the only rookie aside from Oscar Robertson to post 40 or more points and 15 or more assists in a single game, only rookie aside from Oscar Robertson and Michael Jordan to put up 40 or more points, 10 or more assists, and eight or more rebounds, and somehow most impressively, aside from James Harden, the 20-year old was the only person to ever put up his statline of 49/16/8 or better in the entire history of the league (regardless of years of experience).
This article is not meant to suddenly steer Trae Young's Rookie of the Year Award campaign. Young's game still has some major holes, primarily on the defensive side of the ball, and Luka Dončic is still a step above everyone in that race. That doesn't mean Trae Young should continue to reside in his shadow because the two were traded for each other. The Hawks young core of Trae Young, John Collins, DeAndre' Bembry, Kevin Huerter, and Taurean Prince already looks very promising, and quite frankly is probably a better fit with Ice Trae running the show. Trae Young and Luka Dončic can both be great parallel from each other without a direct, overhanging connotation between the two. And it looks to be that both Luka Dončic and Trae Young will be great for a really long time.

The Trends in risk level in the petroleum activity – Acute spills (RNNP-AU) report for 2014 shows that targeted safety work is a prerequisite for preventing acute spills.
Figures from Trends in risk level in the petroleum activity – Acute spills (RNNP-AU) show that the number of acute spills of crude oil and the number of near-misses that could have produced acute oil spills declined in the period 2001-2014. The fall occurred against an increase in the number of oil-producing facilities on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in the same period.
"The trend is a positive one, but in this period we did not observe any reduction in the volume of actual or potential spillages. This gives cause to debate the effect of the barriers in preventing acute spills and staunching the development of incidents", says Finn Carlsen, technical director at the PSA.
The figures also show that the reduction in the number of actual acute crude oil spills in the period was more evident in the North Sea than in the Norwegian Sea. The trend in the number of near-misses is also more uniformly positive in the North Sea, whereas the Norwegian Sea saw greater fluctuations.
The annual volume of crude oil spillage in the North Sea increased substantially in 2014. This is due to three recorded incidents in the 10-100 tonne spill category, of which two were among the 10 largest acute oil spills in the period 2003-2014. Both the incidents were spills of produced oil from the drainage systems of older facilities. One of the facilities was approaching shutdown.
The PSA investigated both incidents:
Report of the investigation into a hydrocarbon leak on Statfjord C
Report of the investigation into an oil spill on the Eldfisk complex
Three acute oil spills of this magnitude in a single year had not previously been recorded in the North Sea.
Acute chemical spills dominate
Acute chemical spills are the dominant type of spill and are often greater than 1 m3 in volume. Around 25% of acute chemical spills are greater than 1 m3, based on combined data from 2001 onwards.
The number of acute chemical spills on the Norwegian Continental Shelf has fluctuated around a relatively stable level throughout the period since 2001. The trend since 2009 has been one of less variation around a high level.
Comparing the Norwegian Sea and the North Sea for the period, we can see that the spill volume per facility year is more than twice as large in the Norwegian Sea (9.3 m3 in the Norwegian Sea against 3.99 m3 in the North Sea).
"The results show that prevention of acute chemical spills is a safety issue that deserves attention", says Carlsen.
"At the same time, the RNNP main report indicates that personnel risk as a result of chemical exposure also demands attention. This demonstrates some of the breadth of challenges associated with the use of chemicals in the petroleum industry, and the importance of looking at safety, environmental and health aspects in correlation."
The Barents Sea
In 2013 and 2014, there were more acute spills in the Barents Sea than in previous years. There was a marked increase in activities in the region in this period.
"Petroleum activities in the High North will increase in the years ahead – on both the Norwegian and foreign shelves. Key decisions will be taken about activities in the High North in the near future, and with this in mind it is important to address the safety challenges specific to these areas", says Carlsen.
"In practice, activities in the Barents Sea will involve the same participants, with the same experience, expertise and technologies as on other parts of the Norwegian Continental Shelf. Experiences from the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea may therefore tell us something about how the industry might operate in the Barents Sea. Results from RNNP-AU for the North Sea and the Norwegian Sea may therefore be useful for discussing safety issues in the High North too."

Nylon Nights
Drama's NYLON Nights Playlist Is For Tender Hearts Everywhere
A selection of songs for the eternal romantic.
by Steffanee Wang
Going out? Need a playlist? Then NYLON's NYLON Nights playlist is here for you. Each month we invite a guest artist to curate an exclusive playlist that will keep you going from pre- to post-game. This February, dark dance-pop duo DRAMA takes over.
Those in the know are already aware that DRAMA's 2016 hit "Billy" pretty much redefined the rules of the heartbreak anthem. A pulsing, shadowy dance number, "Billy" is all about hearing through the grapevine that someone you might still love is now loving someone else, while all wrapped up in a silky sparkling sound that'll compel you to dance whatever sadness arrives away. Of course, the happy-sad genre isn't new, but DRAMA's signature elixir is the most potent you'll find of it.
Since that 2016 hit, DRAMA — producer Na'el Shehade and vocalist Via Rosa — has been pursuing that delicious mix of euphoria and tragedy to the barrel's bottom, one that's not emptying out anytime soon. It's brought the two Chicagoans to festivals around the world — from Life Is Beautiful to Lollapalooza and Outside Lands — and helped them amass a cult following with monthly listens in the millions.
On Thursday, they released their latest single "3AM," another groovy, house-leaning bop that lingers in the sweet-and-sour spot of anticipation, waiting for someone to make the first move. To mark the release, NYLON invited DRAMA to curate the February — what else? — NYLON nights playlist: a selection of songs for the eternal romantic, chronic relationship-jumper, dutiful follower of cupid and St. Valentine. Their picks form a hearty mix of their own irresistible anthems, lovesick soul from Lady Wray, and modern dance floor gems like Fred Again's critically acclaimed "Marea (We've Lost Dancing)." It's their ode to the perfect union between the club and tender hearts everywhere.
Dive in below, and read on for DRAMA's thoughts on each of the songs.
"3AM" - DRAMA
We made this track one night on our way out the door. It started with a piano riff Na'el recorded into his iPhone. The whole song came together quite beautifully as if it was already written and we just kinda tapped into some force to deliver it sonically. Our process has always been very casual and "let's try this" but this record really demonstrates how versatile we are and have always been.
"Billy" - DRAMA
This one will forever hold a special place in both of our hearts — it honestly took us both by surprise. One of the songs that started it all! "Billy" was inspired by that feeling of being in love with your best friend and finding out through the grapevine that he has a girlfriend.
"Guilty" - Lady Wray
That voice! Ay caramba! So good. So beautiful and nostalgic, but what makes this song extra special is the story. It's unfortunately a common one. The vocabulary is so modern, the execution gives it such a specific visual, you can't deny this kind of emotion. It's not easy to naturally tap into this era of sound, it's very refreshing to hear it done properly.
"Dark Rain" - DRAMA
You might ask, "Why did you name it 'Dark Rain'"? It's probably the happiest song we've ever made, and to that I say, "Who wants to listen to a song called Bright Sunshine?" Although the title has nothing to do with the topic, it just kind of makes sense. Maybe it's the chords, or maybe it's the confusing chorus that almost feels like content with sadness, "Dark Rain" is a feel-good track unlike anything we've made.
"Tamally Maak" - Amr Diab
One of our favorite jams. When we first started going on adventures together, this was the song — we have played it back-to-back-to-back many times. We 100 percent both agree that this is an example of the "perfect song" in the DRAMA dictionary of music. Everything about it feels right.
"Years" - DRAMA
Fun fact: this song legit took years to make, a perfect example of "everything comes together when it's supposed to." Neither of us could finish it, but it kept coming back. We would find it again and again. It's by far one of our favorite tracks on Dance Without Me.
"Lightwork" - The Last Artful, Dodgr
Dodgr is the homie! This track is so magical, they never miss honestly. It's so refreshing to hear well written pop music like this by people we know personally.
"Simmer" (Majestic Remix ) - Mahalia
Love this girl, been watching her journey unfold for a couple years now. We're rooting for her from across the pond. This song is so fun! It's so confident and soft/precious at the same time. The original is amazing too but this remix definitely something we'd play at our DJ sets.
"Don't Hold Back" - DRAMA
In 2020 we were writing songs with the intention of selling them. We made this originally for another artist but decided to finish it ourselves. It marks the beginning of a new era for DRAMA for sure. I think it set the tone for the rest of the project when it came to the depth and layers we wanted to play with.
"Lose My Cool" (Franc Moody remix) - Amber Mark
This song is just absolutely amazing, we are suckers for a funky bass line and smooth keys! This song gives all of that and so much more, definitely a timeless jam made for any occasion. It's that smooth, delicate, "I said what I said" energy.
"Marea (We've Lost Dancing)" - Fred again.., The Blessed Madonna
Such a great track. Musically, there's so little and so much going on at the same time, simple and complex all at once, and combined with the topic of the monologue? You're pulled into this deep spell of overwhelming emotions. This song was made for the Melancholy Dance Floor, our favorite place to be.
"You've Done Enough" - DRAMA, Gorgon City
This is one of our biggest records to date. We were introduced to Gorgon City in 2019 and made two records together, both of which made it onto their album Olympia. It's always an exciting feeling when you make something with a complete stranger that just feels right and it connects with so many people. We're honored to have been a part of their album.
"Ocean Drive" - Duke Dumont
Another DRAMA staple track, we love Duke (can we call him Duke?). Funky bass line, catchy hook, smooth transitions, space and room to breathe? I mean, it's a banger. We play this a lot on the road and when we're just chilling at the studio cleaning, can't get enough.
"MOVE" - DRAMA, Flight Facilities
A. We love Jimmy and Hugo, B. this song is so fun! Our managers set us up on a play date with these guys! We got some coffee, joked around, and just had a blast. It was just like back in the day when you show up at a new house you've never been to and just start playing with the other kids, this song is a direct reflection that lyrically for sure. It took us right out of our comfort zone, which is what the song is all about.

MK: Dub Master
RA's Stephen Titmus sits down with Marc Kinchen, the man who helped redefine house music and remixes.
Few producers can claim to have shaped dance music as much as Marc Kinchen, AKA MK. He not only defined the house sound of the early '90s, but also elevated the art of the remix to new levels, consistently transforming lacklustre pop music from the likes of Celine Dion into genuine dance floor gold. His dub version of Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling'' is as big a record as they come, so well-known the producer's never met a person who hasn't heard it.
Yet despite his status as a house trailblazer, Kinchen actually found his first success making Detroit techno in Kevin Saunderson's studio and ended up making R&B with America's A-list. On the eve of the release of his new compilation, House Masters, we caught up with the producer to talk $20,000 remixes, hanging out with Jay-Z and the stories behind his seminal remixes.
One of the things I hear a lot is that the mix of music on the radio in Detroit was very different from other cities in the US. Was this true when you were growing up there in the '80s?
Everything they played on the radio was heavy, heavy, heavy R&B. But everything else they played, they would play faster. Even back then they would pitch the songs up. So they would almost be, not double time, but if a song was 100 beats per minute they would play to 130. It didn't have to be house music, it didn't matter what it was. Detroit always had a certain sound just for dance music. The city was just crazy about dancing. I think that's why Detroit techno became so big there, because on radio stations they would play (for example) an old Prince song, but they'd play it faster, so it sounds kinda trippy. Almost techno-y. So that's how that happened. I know that for a fact.
What radio shows were important back then?
There was a DJ named Mojo. Everybody in Detroit knows Mojo, I think even still now. He was the most influential DJ in Detroit by far. He played whatever he wanted to play. He talked a lot. He said interesting things. It's almost like whatever he said on the radio, the whole city followed. I didn't travel outside the city back then, because I was too young, but it seems like he played stuff that catered specifically to Detroit.
Was that the main inspiration for your first productions? You were really young when you started releasing music. I think 16?
That wasn't why I got into it. I liked listening to Mojo, but the reason I got into music was that I actually got into alternative music. Depeche Mode was definitely my favourite group back then. And then everything that was played that was that same kind of genre. Erasure, Skinny Puppy even. That was the kind of music I liked and that's what made me want to produce.
When you first heard house music did it stand out as something different?
When I very first heard it, I didn't like it because I was into something so different. I was into the synthy, big productions. You know, alternative music. One of the first house music records I heard was "Jack Your Body" where it's just drums and a bassline and a vocal repeated over and over. That was the stupidest thing ever for me. It's kind of ironic. But then, I got it. I started to understand it. And once I understood it there was no stopping me.
So how did you start producing? Was it as Separate Minds?
I started producing when I was 14. So by the time I was 16 I already knew how to make records. I met Lou Robinson and Terrence Parker from a mutual friend. They were already working as Separate Minds, it was their project, they already had songs done for it. They basically said, "Do you want to come help us make these records?" And I didn't really know about house music, and they kind of described it to me. I pretty much helped them.
I've always been heavy into video games, and coming from an alternative background, I liked to do stuff that sounded a little different. I didn't like to just copy something. I sampled a sound I had off a video game, and that was a track called "First Base." It was really kind of quirky, different. That was my first record. Kevin Saunderson, he had a label KMS, he was doing a Detroit techno compilation and he wanted to license "First Base" to the compilation. That's how I ended up meeting Kevin and working with him.
As a 16 year old, it must have been pretty exciting to be working with Kevin considering the success he was having with Inner City at the time.
Yeah, I was very excited. I have that record framed at my Mom's house. Everyone looked up to Kevin, he was doing really well in Detroit. I was proud of myself that I was working with Kevin.
What did Kevin teach you? Did he show you anything in the studio?
He didn't really show me. The funny thing is Kevin is kinda quiet and I'm quiet, so we'd just be working on something and not talking. I had 24 hour access to Kevin's studio. There was a studio that was in a loft in Detroit. One half was a studio and his company, the other half he would live there. I would go there and just make records.
What kind of studio was that compared to what you had at home?
What I had at home, I had like one keyboard a drum machine and a sequencer. That's it. But Kevin had everything. He had a giant desk, 24 track analogue tape. He had everything. But I've always been into equipment so I was able to just go there without an engineer or anything and kind of just work everything out. One time I went there and that's when I made "Burning." And every time I was making a track I was actually making it for Kevin to put out. But nobody wanted it. So I figured I'll put it out myself.
What was the initial reaction to the record?
I was so young then, and I didn't go out to clubs much. So I didn't really know people were into it the way they were. I knew the distributors kept calling and reordering it. So I thought that was good, but I didn't have any numbers to gauge next to it. So I didn't know what number was good or bad. I just thought, it's average I guess. It's not as though I sold 200,000 copies. I sold 20,000 copies. Now I find out that's pretty good for a first record by a little kid. And then Virgin ended up picking it up. They called me up and said they wanted to license the record. So I said, "Cool, let's do it."
Were you still living in Detroit at this point? I know you moved to New York in this period.
Well once Virgin signed the project, I moved to New York. I brought my equipment—I didn't have a lot—but once I got there I was pretty much broke. I was living with my girlfriend and kinda living off her. It's not like I said, "I'm gonna be rich in a year." I was just kinda going along with it. I knew I didn't want to get a job! [laughs] So I would get random calls from people wanting me to do a record for like $1000 and that's how I would make my money. It was like that for the first year and a half.
Did you go out much in that period? The early '90s were very much a golden era for New York clubbing.
I wasn't like a diehard club kid. I remember meeting Todd Terry, Kenny and Louie (Masters At Work) and became very good friends with them. It seemed like every weekend we would get in touch. It would be like, "Hey, you guys going out?" Or they would be playing somewhere. And I would go out and see them play and hang out.
So I wanted to talk about Nightcrawlers. Your "Dub Of Doom" of "Push The Feeling" is probably one of the biggest house records of all time. But I heard the original mix of the record got rejected.
Well that's what made me start doing dubs, that one thing. Because I did a vocal mix —I don't know if you've ever heard the original of "Push The Feeling"—but it's slow kind of R&B or soul. But I liked the vocals a lot. I did the vocal mix. But I guess it was still not what they wanted.
I was going to Detroit to see my family, and Marci (my manager at the time) called me and she's like, "They don't like the mix Marc. You're going to have to do it again." Well I said, "I've got a flight to catch. I can't do it." She was like, "Marc, they paid you a lot of money and you've got to do it."
I was really upset. My studio wasn't together because I was leaving, stuff was on the floor. I remember my mixing desk was on the floor. I had two JBL monitors; one of them was blown so I only had one monitor. I did the mix as quick as I could, because I was kinda upset. I did it in probably 30 minutes.
While I was doing the mix Marci sent a messenger to pick up the DAT because I had to leave. So I finished the mix, the messenger comes, then I leave. I come back to New York maybe two weeks later and I listen to it and I'm like, "Wow. This is good!" I called my brother and said, "Scott, you gotta hear this!" That's when I knew I had a monster.
So how different was the dub to the original vocal version you made?
Totally different. Now I Iook back, I probably see why they rejected it. It was really musical and it was probably just too much for what they wanted.
How much were you getting for a remix back then?
$20,000. My mixes at that point were still kind of steady, I had at least three mixes a month. After Nightcrawlers I had about four a month.
Which is crazy now! Did that stop the need to ever want to tour or DJ?
Well, I stopped remixing when that price was the same. Everyone just wanted another Nightcrawlers. I just thought, "Nah, you're taking the fun out of it now!" So I started doing more R&B, more production where royalties came in. My whole dream from the beginning, I probably said this in an interview when I was 18, I want to be like a Quincy Jones. I want to be a producer that produces a lot of a different acts. I thought, well, it's probably a good time to start that now. While I've got money, while I've got work coming in. So at least I can try and branch off.
You actually got to meet Quincy Jones didn't you? Were you signed to his agency or something?
I had a meeting at Motwown and I had a Rolex on, a $20,000 watch on. And this guy named Jay Brown came in the office. Back then, people that were into R&B and hip hop, they didn't know about house. To them, house wasn't popular. So he said, "What do you do?" And I didn't tell I made house, I didn't tell him I was MK, I just told him I was a producer. He said, "Let me hear some stuff." So that night I took him some CDs. He took them back to LA because he worked with Quincy. He called me the next day and said "Quincy wants to sign you." It was literally that quick.
Then Jay Brown started managing me. From that point on I was on a bunch of projects. SWV, Tevin Campbell. Then Jay Brown started working with Jay-Z, which meant I started working with Jay-Z and hanging out with Jay-Z.
You had a release on Omar-S's label recently. How did that come about?
The funny thing is my friend called me and said, "Omar-S wants to put out one of your records." I was like "What record?" "4th Measure Men record" So I said, "Yeah, let's do it." It was simple as that. Let's make it happen. Done deal.
Was that an unreleased record?
That was a re-release. It had been out, but there were a couple of 4th Measure Men records that I put out that were just quiet.
Todd Edwards on MK
MK's first influence on me was his most ground-breaking remix, Nightcrawlers' "Push the Feeling." An extremely catchy and melodic hook was this remix's signature, but no one could figure out what the vocal was singing. That was because it wasn't singing anything. MK took bits of the original vocal, and pieced together his own vocal hook. No one had used vocals like that before. It was a brilliant concept. I attempted to emulate and imitate this vocal styling. I especially loved MK's remix of The Pet Shop Boys' "Can You Forgive Her." If you listen to my remix of J.D. Braithwaite's "Love Me Tonight," you will be able to hear how inspired I was by MK's Pet Shop Boys remix.
Even the other musical elements of MK's work were very different from other producers at the time. His tracks were soulful but had something more...perhaps more futuristic. MK's use of vocals became the cornerstone of my musical style. Since I didn't have access to many contemporary instrument sounds, I started using vocal cut-ups as the main musical elements in my tracks. Though my sound continued to evolve, I can say with 100% certainty, without MK's influence, there would be no Todd Edwards.
It seems though that people seem really attracted to anything you did in that early '90s period. Have you got a bunch of unheard stuff from that time that you could potentially put out?
Actually I found my hard drive from when I lived in New York. I have literally hundreds of songs from that period. They're not finished, but some are mostly finished. Some with just basslines and organs. There's tons of stuff on there.
Would you ever want to do anything with them?
I don't know. It's weird. I think after this trip to Europe I will.
So all the time you were producing pop stuff did you realize the influence your records were having on UK garage and producers like Todd Edwards?
I knew about Todd but UK garage, I had had no idea, especially before the internet was big. I didn't DJ and I didn't go out so I had no idea. I had some idea because people would tell me but I've more been hearing about it in the last few years. It's kind of shocking, because you hear it and you're not expecting it.
Well, anyone who grew up in Britain in the '90s would have found your music pretty inescapable, even in the years after you stopped producing house music.
I mostly know from YouTube. I'll look at one of my old records and see how many views it's had and think, "Wow." Literally every comment is a good comment. I'll look at other people's songs on YouTube and see bad comments. I've never seen a bad comment on mine!
That's got to be nice!
When I'm feeling down, I can always look on YouTube and lift myself up!

Letters from Margaret Anderson to her sister Betty Browning, 1931 - 1936
Reference Code: GBR/0271/GCPP Anderson 1/6
This series includes letters written from: South America 1931; Switzerland 1932; and Barbados 1933-1936. Margaret Anderson's letters from Barbados are largely factual, giving much detail about local flora and fauna, the weather, local industry, the landscape, social events, and domestic activity, including much about cooking and dressmaking. From 1935 she begins to take on commissions for dressmaking. From 1934 onwards she also mentions in some detail her work for the Barbados Museum and Historical Society and her work as a governor of a local school and as a member of a Women's Self-Help Committee. Many of the letters include pen and ink sketches of flora and fauna and of M A's various dressmaking activities. Some of the letters are addressed to M A's father, J C Willis; to her brother-in-law, Walter Browning; and to her younger sister Anita Willis.

The University of South Dakota Chamber Choir puts in many hours of work every year. This year, their work paid off in a big way. They were selected as one of five finalists in The American Prize in Choral Performance.
Director of USD choirs David Holdhusen decided to enter the group of 32 members for the first time this year.
Holdhusen said the organization selects winners based upon the submitted material from the group.
Holdhusen said the organization makes the auditions doable for everyone because every choir records their concerts.
Senior Adrian Ries is the student conductor of the chamber choir. He said the group puts in many hours of practice during class as well as outside of it.
"Chamber choir meets three times a week during class, once a week for sectionals and has rehearsals with members of the group outside of class throughout the week," Ries said.
Junior Ashley Hogarth, vice president of the chamber choir, said the work the choir does is mainly focused on the concert and the tour they do each spring.
Hogarth said a main part of being in chamber choir is putting in extra time outside of class.
Holdhusen said being in the top five was also great for the music department at USD.
"It shows the hard work the students put in and it's a feather in the cap for the department," Holdhusen said.
Ries said they learn many songs every year.
Ries said the choir consists of more than just musical majors, too.
"The number of music majors is about a 50:50 ratio with students majoring in something else. We have graduate students, students majoring in history, biology, political science and even English," Ries said.
Ries said the experience has been great, especially with the outcome this year.
"We haven't entered before this year. It's great to be recognized nationally for the first time," Ries said.
Holdhusen said the group also shows musicianship with their songs, not just the technicality of being able to sing.
"They've portrayed the musicianship in the ensembles by showing the musical messages within the songs," Holdhusen said.
Hogarth said it is a great honor to be recognized nationally.
Holdhusen said being in the top five finalists got the group excited to start the new year.
"Being in the top five shows that we're doing what we're supposed to be doing and reaching the level of excellence," Holdhusen said.

Play from the Yellow Tees will only exclude winning in any GROSS format tournament, such as Ace of the Month/Year (Gross) and Club Championship.
Once you have opted to play from the Yellow Tees, you may later choose to opt out. If you do opt out, then you may not request the Yellow Tees again until the next year.
Different tees usually have different USGA Course Ratings, with the higher rated course being more difficult. Rule 3-5 of the USGA Handicap Manual requires that when players are competing from different tees, the player playing from the set of tees with the higher course rating receives additional strokes equal to the difference between each course rating, with .5 or greater rounded upward. These additional strokes may be added to the Course Handicap of the player playing from the higher-rated set of tees, or alternatively, it may be subtracted from the Course Handicap of the player playing from the tees with the lower course rating.
The two strokes subtracted from your Course Handicap as explained above, are to be disregarded when applying ESC for posting of your score. For example, if you normally have a 31 Course Handicap from the Yellow Tees, then your max is 9 on each hole for posting your score. When 2 strokes are subtracted on Tuesday Play Day, even though your Course Handicap is 29 for the competition, your max is still 9 on each hole for posting. This will be automatically done for you when your Tuesday Play Day scores are posted by the Weekly Events Chair.

What was the reason for your trip?
My dad traveled to Cuba as a student during the sixties and would always tell me these amazing stories about how beautiful the country is and how amazing and resilient its people are. So, it's a trip I had been wanting to do for a really long time and since Cuba recently opened up its economy, I wanted to catch a glimpse of traditional Cuba before modernity took over. Fortunately, I had the opportunity to visit this past New Year, and it was one of the most amazing experiences I have had. I have started crafting a MILK Book for every trip me and my husband make. Cuba being such a beautiful and photogenic country, I knew I had to save the memories from our trip somewhere special.
My favorite image is the picture of Pedro (below), a tobacco farmer we had the fortune of meeting in Viñales, a region in rural Cuba. Here you can see Pedro smoking a cigar made with the tobacco he grew.
My favorite story in the book is the one of Pedro, the tobacco farmer. When we met him, he told us how he had been farming organic tobacco for more than 40 years and how he would wake up really early every morning, drink his cafecito, smoke a cigar and go to work to the fields. Even though, from our perspective, he might have seemed as someone who lived under very difficult circumstances, he just had this aura of happiness, peacefulness and pride in his work, that I have rarely seen in someone.
Celebrate the places that moved you.


Partridge colours say "I'm healthy and well-fed"
The fractal geometry of red-legged partridges; bib size and geometry are their main characteristics.
A recently published study on red-legged partridges has shown that the fractal geometry of an individual bird's neck plumage is a significant indicator of its health and nutrition status.This finding is an important step in the development of new methods to monitor the health status of a bird population and its habitat using non-intrusive methods.
Male and female red-legged partridges have a characteristic fractal-patterned "bib" around their neck. Its shape is too complex to describe with direct measurements, but its fractal dimension, a complex property of fractal patterns, can be calculated from photographs with the help of computer models.
Bird colouration, together with elaborate dancing and enchanting or scary calls is an important factor in mating selection for many bird species. The results of this study show that mate selection characteristics can originate not only on the genetic makeup of a bird, but on its individual fitness and performance in finding food, as well as the availability of food in the environment. Both of these factors are important for the reproductive success of the couple and the survival of their offspring.
Alectoris graeca, a relative of the red-legged partridge, is found in Kefalonia and the National Park of Ainos.
The results of this study are a show-case of a new group of methods to assess bird population fitness and the status of their habitat. Photographic surveys, with the help of computer models, can be used as a non-intrusive method. With the availability of low-cost equipment, these parameters can be made available to habitat managers in real time, saving time and money to be used in resolving any issues rather than just trying to understand them.

There are as many banquet ideas as there are kinds of banquets. A banquet is usually a larger gathering, centered about food that can honor one person but more often than not honors several people. In fact many banquets that are held honor everyone who is in attendance. There are Father -Son banquets, Father Daughter banquets, and Mother Daughter banquets. Sports banquets are typically held at the end of a sporting season. Clubs and organizations hold banquets at times for whatever reason they can find. And the Family Reunion is always an excellent excuse for a fine banquet.
The Sports Banquet - Whatever is needed in the way of banquet ideas then is more often than not dictated by the type of banquets we are talking about. If there is one common thread, the banquet ideas are usually centered about a common thread or theme. A banquet by definition is a somewhat formal affair. It's not that tie and tails are expected, but there is more often than not a program of sorts involved. A sports banquet will almost always have a Master of Ceremonies and perhaps a keynote speaker as well. Awards and trophies are more often than not handed out, together with a solemn pledge by everyone to try to do a little better next year.
The Church Banquet - Church banquet ideas usually center about fellowship. A good church banquet should always have an interesting guest speaker. The local minister or priest may be a wonderful speaker, but a change of pace or change of face will always be welcome. Church banquets are not always famous for excellent cuisine. A gourmet banquet is not always a priority where fellowship is involved, but the guests should not have to settle for rubber chicken either. Unless it is to be a truly formal affair and business is to be conducted, not the best of banquet ideas, children should be welcome participants.
Father Son Banquet - Father Son banquets are something that every young boy should have the opportunity to participate in at least once. The meal may consist of meat and potatoes and baked beans, but the purpose behind such a banquet is really one of bonding. The same would apply to a Mother Daughter banquet although in this case the food would probably be better! The best banquet ideas for occasions such as these revolve around finding an entertaining guest speaker or two, plus some additional entertainment.
The Class Reunion - Class reunions are another excuse to hold a banquet. These affairs often tend to get a little more formal as the years go by. Initially, say for a 10 or 15 year class reunion, it's more of a party atmosphere. By the time the 40th or 50th reunion rolls around, the get together takes on more of an aspect of a banquet, where the guests spend much of the time seated at one table, or table hopping after the meal has been finished. Class reunion banquet ideas almost always involve a trip down memory lane, whether it be looking at vintage photographs and the class year book, or dancing to the music that was all the rage back then.
Whatever the occasion, if you are planning a banquet and are looking for banquet ideas, simply think of what the underlying theme should be, recognize the importance of the meal as the centerpiece, and look into what might be most appropriate as far as speakers and entertainment are concerned. Banquets normally bring together people with a common interest, so you don't have to find things to entertain a wide diversity of individuals. The hardest banquet of all to plan for could well be the family banquet. If you're faced with coming up with banquet ideas for such an occasion, it would probably make life easier to get a few family members together and design the banquet by committee. On the other hand, if it's a football banquet, think food and football.


Attempt not to disclose to me you are sufficiently credulous to depend on that all you should dominate in the online company is to open up a site and sit tight for people to see you. Any person and also everyone that has a business online will disclose to you that it requires consistent press to guide individuals to your site. Company internet look is a billion dollar business in the US with everybody signing right into web search tools to check for products. Be that as it may, is driving movement every little thing. Of what make use of is the motion on the off possibility that it is not transformed over into bargains. While there are a few systems like short article lodging, social publication monitoring, we registry lodging to enable you to earn excitement among viewers, they are not exceptionally powerful when it come to driving focused on task or customers that might affect your deals.
An answer for this is to get concentrated on movement. An incredibly routine strategy is to utilize Pay per Click or Pac. This is greatly boosted than the Pay per View method that does not make sure transpires. At the point when a customer enters in phrases selected by the publicist, a fly up promo is revealed beneath the internet 토토사이트추천 transpires. For example, on the off possibility you are a merchandiser offering cameras as well as have prepared a suitable watchword that ideal portrays your thing; each time a client enters in the expression, the promo flies up.
To prevail in this technique you need to search for assistance of a professional that could handle you and change the means you look at paid movement. They would certainly also allow you to obtain the right signs, as opposed to the dull expressions you are possibly most likely to be drawn in to. They can furthermore allow you to get focused on activity that is occupied with getting your things as well as benefit, as well as not those free gift searchers and also refund customers. They offer watchwords that work and also not expressions that would certainly set you against the primary names in your line of business. With the proper countersign concentrated on publicizing system, you are ensured of recurring activity as your commercials are dispersed to buy targeted traffic. As a sponsor you in addition acquire coating power as you could select the offer value, catch phrase placement and spending plan. They will also aid you with the right decision of because quite a while earlier adhered to catch phrases. Additionally, towards the finish of the fight, you get a point by factor accurate record with layouts that will allow you to evaluate the accomplishment of the publicizing effort. Some web marketers offer a discount rate to notices that do not give transpires.

Employment disputes are usually common, as people aren't willing to give in anymore whenever the feel employers deny their rights. Sometimes workers are right, but there are lots of situations by which they would like to intimidate their employers, hoping to obtain various benefits.
There are laws that protect employers and employees, however they aren't always known by those who want to use them. This is the reason the most effective way of handling an employment dispute is always to speak to a lawyer. Attorneys who concentrate on employment issues know each one of these laws, so they can help the clientele be successful in court.
Should you be an employee possessing a significant problem with your employer, you need to know that numerous companies hire legal professionals to assist them and represent them in the court. Should you want to look for justice, you might believe it is hard to defeat these skilled lawyers alone. If you wish to increase your chances of success, you should employ the identical type of weapons. For those who have an employment dispute, speak to a lawyer, since this is the only way to boost your chances of success.
Experienced lawyers might have already seen a lot of cases much like yours, therefore they may be able to discuss the approach which may work the most effective, Almost all their cases have taught them how to deal with various issues so that you can win in the courtroom. They are aware what you should expect through your employer, thus having the ability to counteract effectively and quickly. Besides, they are fully aware a legal court procedures associated with such cases. This makes them knowledgeable on the type of information you need to improve your chances to win your lawsuit. In addition they understand how to obtain such information and the way to present the documents along with the witnesses to the court. Better still, these lawyers learn how to prevent a company while using unfair tactics and procedures that can help them win the situation.
An employment lawsuit ought to be cured with great care, since it is extremely difficult to win it without the assistance of an excellent attorney of law. Moreover, you ought to pick a lawyer who focuses on employment law above all other things, because this is ways to benefit the best from his experience. You could believe it will save you a few bucks by preparing your case all by yourself. Unfortunately, this is amongst the biggest mistakes employees make when suing their employers in the courtroom. Having a case to trial by yourself is greater than a case of understanding the law to perfection. It is also a matter of understanding the reputation of such cases as well as the elements who have helped those employees win their case. When you don't employ a lawyer, you could be sorry afterwards, if you won't have the ability to persuade the jury and also the judges that what happened to you personally was an abuse. The easiest way to prove your case is as simple as employing a professional attorney fully handle your case in the courtroom.

Before purchasing a carpet, you should consider factors such as your lifestyle as well as your weekly cleaning routine.

We offer carpets with stain, fade, and wear resistance for the most active homes. That means you can live your life on your carpets almost worry free.

We also offer natural carpet fibers such as wool. Wool features several amazing character tics like being hypoallergenic and easy to clean.
