Additional Details on Sandy Bridge-E Processors, X79, and LGA2011
by Kristian Vättö on April 26, 2011 12:46 PM EST
The latest Intel roadmap has come out, and it's already being discussed elsewhere, so we're going to weigh in with our own analysis of the content as there's plenty of interesting bits of information to sift through. We'll be looking at other areas over the coming days, but today we're going to start with the Sandy Bridge-E (SNB-E) processors. Sporting a new socket and chipset, the SNB-E CPUs will start showing up in Q4 this year. None of this is new, as we've known the general timeframe for the launch since our Sandy Bridge review, but we can now add some concrete specs. According to the roadmap, the initial SNB-E lineup will consist of three CPUs: two hex-core processors and one quad-core. We don't have model numbers yet, but we do have most of the other pieces of information.
The Sandy Bridge-E Lineup
Family Core i7 Extreme Core i7 Core i7
Core/Thread Count 6/12 6/12 4/8
Frequency 3.3GHz 3.2GHz 3.6GHz
Max SC Turbo 3.9GHz 3.8GHz 3.9GHz
L3 Cache 15MB 12MB 10MB
Overclocking Fully unlocked Fully unlocked Limited unlock
The new chips will all use the LGA2011 socket with Intel's X79 chipset, scheduled for simultaneous release with the CPUs. The platform replaces the current LGA1366 with X58 chipset, providing an upgrade path for high-end enthusiasts and workstation users. Memory support will move up to quad-channel DDR3-1333, so where the current Bloomfield can provide up to 25.6GB/s of bandwidth at the specified tri-channel DDR3-1066, LGA2011 kicks that figure up to 42.7GB/s—a 66% increase. The additional memory bandwidth should be particularly useful with certain workloads on the hex-core chips.
One interesting piece of information is that the roadmaps make no mention of integrated graphics or Quick Sync, suggesting the platform will be for discrete graphics only. That makes perfect sense on one level, as users likely to upgrade to such high-end systems are almost sure to have discrete GPUs. On the other hand, Quick Sync has proven very effective for video transcoding, providing up to a four-fold increase over CPU-based encoding, so the loss of the feature is unfortunate.
Intel hasn't disclosed all of the various Turbo modes yet, but they have listed the maximum single-core Turbo speeds. Both the hex-core 3.3GHz and quad-core 3.6GHz top out at a maximum speed of 3.9GHz, and likely the hex-core chip can do 3.6GHz on QC workloads making it equal to or better than the QC chip on every potential workload. The 3.2GHz hex-core steps the maximum clocks speeds down 100MHz, along with cutting the L3 cache size. As with other i7 processors, all the new chips support Hyper-Threading, and while the hex-core chips will be fully multiplier unlocked the quad-core offering will be a "limited unlock". The roadmap states that the limited unlock will allow up to six bins of overclocking above the maximum Turbo frequencies, which means that even that chip should be able to hit up to 4.5GHz (with appropriate cooling, motherboard, etc.)
Intel makes no mention of pricing at this time, but the new chips should follow familiar patterns. The i7 Extreme will replace the current i7-990X and target the familiar $1000 price point. Moving down, the 3.2GHz hex-core replaces the current i7-980 (which is set to replace the i7-970 in the near future), taking over the $550~$600 range. At the bottom of the SNB-E lineup is the quad-core 3.6GHz chip, which will take over from the i7-960 as well as providing a competitor to the i7-2600 in the sub-$300 market.
Chipset Comparison
X58 X79
Processor Support LGA1366 LGA2011
PCIe Graphics 2x16 or 4x8 (chipset) 2x16 or 4x8 (CPU)
PCIe Based Uplink to CPU for Storage No Yes (x4)
USB 2.0 Ports 12 14
SATA Total (6Gbps) 6 (0) 14 (10)
One final area to discuss is the chipset. We've included X58 in the above table as a reference point, and we can see that X79 improves a few areas but still fails to support a few newer technologies. While the X79 chipset will include native support for SATA 6Gbps (up to 10 ports, with four additional SATA 3Gbps ports), USB 3.0 support is still missing, similar to the current 5- and 6-series chipsets. X79 natively supports dual x16 PCIe graphics, or quad x8 graphics, but this time the PCIe lanes come directly from the CPU instead of from the chipset, providing lower latency GPU access. There's another extra, as the CPU (chipset) has the option to use four additional PCIe lanes from the PCH dedicated to storage bandwidth, presumably to help with performance on fast SATA 6Gbps devices (e.g. SSDs).
Given the 2x16 PCIe lanes for graphics and quad-channel memory, we can account for most of the pinout increase relative to LGA1366 and LGA1155, and adding in these remaining storage PCIe lanes with a DMI link to the chipset should take care of the rest. Intel doesn't state whether they're using DMI or QPI, but DMI 2.0 only provides up to 20Gbps between the CPU and chipset, so supporting 10 SATA 6Gbps ports with fast SSDs would certainly saturate that.
That wraps up the consumer side of the SNB-E platform. Note that Intel will also have SNB-E Xeons launching in a similar timeframe. The bigger concern for us is that SNB-E continues the strengths of the Bloomfield/Gulftown processors but doesn't address some of the weaknesses (i.e. lack of Quick Sync). SNB-E looks like a very capable processor, but if you're willing to forego the current SNB lineup and wait for SNB-E, you'll then have to contend with Ivy Bridge. That will be Intel's first 22nm CPU and it's scheduled for release in the first half of 2012, but that's a story for a separate article. We'll also have additional information on Atom CPUs and Intel SSDs in the near future.

Do you have any confirmation from Intel about x79 using a QPI link instead of DMI? The older rumor/leaks I've seen on LGA2011 all listed it as using the latter to connect to the southbridge. Reply
JarredWalton - Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - link
The information we have doesn't specify the link type/speed, which is why we say "assuming it uses a similar QPI link..." If it's DMI, then the additional storage-dedicated lanes make a lot more sense, but then the PCIe links would have to come straight from the CPU or they'd saturate the DMI link, right?
The Sandy Bridge and Ivy Bridge platforms both use DMI, because the CPU has the PCIe graphics link, but I believe that's the whole point of LGA2011. Also, as noted above there's a huge increase in the pinout of LGA2011 relative to LGA1366, and I can't think of where they would use all those extra pins if they're not doing a full QPI link. Reply
Okay, discussed with Anand and updated. It's no *entirely* clear whether SNB-E will use QPI or DMI. Given the extra four lanes for storage, DMI would be very likely. What does this mean for Xeon, though? Maybe the chips have the option to do QPI or DMI, but they're using DMI on single socket configurations and consumer models, and QPI will only be on multi-socket. Or maybe they'll use a different die for Xeon. Lots of possibilities, but the text now reflects the fact that some of this isn't entirely clear, and we make some educated guesses as to what's going on. Reply
I've been scratching my head about the pincount as well. LGA 1567 is quad channel and 4x QPI, so the only new on die features adding pin count would be the PCIe lanes, and DMI link (4x PCIe). Each lane is 4 data pins, so 40 pcie lanes (32 +4 sata + 4 dmi) is 160 pins for data, and a few more for control/clock/etc (Wikipedia isn't clear which control signals are per slot which are shared), for maybe 200ish total. I'm going to assume that intel will also be using this socket for their forthcoming 4/8way boards and will keep the four QPI links. If they drop back to only two there're another 164 pins unaccounted for.
Maybe the remaining 250ish are just extra power/ground connections in order to support bigger/faster chips? Reply

That says that the SATA ports will have total bandwidth of 8GB/s (64Gb/s) due to the four extra PCIe lines. That would be enough even for 10 SATA 6Gb/s SSDs. A big upgrade from X58 though, since it tops out at around 660MB/s from what I have heard.
This is starting to be very complex lineup for Intel if some parts use QPI and others DMI, let alone what LGA 1356 will add to the mixture :D Reply
some parts using QPI and others DMI is the same situation as we had with LGA1156/1366, so I don't see anything changing.
LGA 1356 rumors are operating at a much lower level than LGA1155/2011 rumors have. It's an open question if it's a real product or not. My guess is that it either always was vaporware, was a real part at one point but completely discontinued to only have 2 sockets vs 3 for the last architecture, or is a plan B part if bulldozer turns out fast enough that quad core/dual channel Ivy Bridge CPUs aren't fast enough to compete in the $200-300 range, and hexcore dual channel DDR3 IB chips would be badly memory bottle necked. Reply
The LGA 1356 is pretty much confirmed from what I have read and heard from my sources. Currently it looks like it will be meant for low-end DP systems so it is unlikely that we will see any consumer parts for that socket (i.e. only Xeons).
That would mean that there will be three sockets of SB Xeons (don't forget E3 lineup for LGA 1155 socket). Reply
Anything publicly available on highly trustworthy sites? I don't think I've seen anything on sites I consider A list for reliability. This isn't to say I think all the sites reporting the rumors are questionable. some might quality, but there're far more sites reporting rumors than I normally follow and can evaluate. Reply
Casper42 - Tuesday, April 26, 2011 - link
I was in a briefing by Intel in Feb and one of the things I remember complaining about was the complexity of the SB lineup in servers.
I remember seeing the following:
1 way with Dual Channel
1/2 way with Triple Channel
2/4 way with Quad Channel (4 way design here would need 2 hops for some chip-to-chip communication due to limited QPI links so it was like the poor man's 4 way box)
4/8 way with Quad Channel (this had more QPI links thus making it a proper 4 way box)
I wanna say they were socket H, B2, R and lastly EX-B for the big boys. (same order as specs above)
I straight out called them out on it as AMD has boiled their lineup to a simple 1/2 Dual Chan socket and a 2/4 Quad Chan socket. Much easier to build servers when the chips are clearly delineated.
So assuming 2011 is R and I know 1156 is H, that certainly leaves room for 1356 to come in as B2. EX-B will likely be the last addition as it will supplant the soon to be released Westmere-EX chips. The monster 10 core 30MB cache ones. Reply

Socket B2 is same as LGA 1356. Obviously, I cannot confirm that this is 100% accurate. It does make sense though. Currently Intel doesn't offer much in the low-end DP market due to their high prices. Maybe LGA 2011 parts are simply too expensive for Intel to manufacture, so they couldn't replace the E5502 for example.
LGA 1356 with crippled features would let Intel stay competitive, even in lower-end markets. Cut down the PCIe lanes, stick with triple-channel, possibly no ECC and stuff like that.
Server grade stuff is not usually reported by these regular news sites so getting information that is available for everyone is harder. Subscription is usually required to get access to information like this. I don't have access like that so this is just what I heard from a friend of mine who has access to this kind of information.

Rosie and the Badly Kept Secret
Rosie and the Badly Kept Secret is based on personal experience of watching my mum go through cancer when I was three years old. Despite being so young I have some clear memories, and some that have probably found their way into my head from what I've been told about the time, but one thing is certain: even at three I knew something was wrong. I stopped getting dressed in the mornings, I started being uncharacteristically difficult, and some of the stories that I half-read, half-made-up featured a mum with a poorly bosom.
I began to think about how difficult it must have been to tell me what was happening: how do you find a balance between honesty and protection?
Talking to Macmillan
I went to chat with Macmillan to see if they had much experience of this, and how they dealt with it. As I was sitting in the Horizon Centre I picked up a leaflet that confirmed what I assumed; that honesty is the best policy. But how? There is huge pressure not to say the wrong thing, not to traumatise, and broaching the subject falls again to the parent or caregiver at an already difficult time.
Macmillan itself has such a huge task coping with those in treatment that there are limited resources for those affected secondarily, but this issue was a very common question from people who were diagnosed: how do I tell my children (or grandchildren)?
With this in mind, a woman called Gill who works within Macmillan and specialises in Neurooncology, started to collect books that tackled the subject either directly or indirectly; books like 'The Invisible String' and 'A Monster Calls'. These boxes of books are left in various centres (including the Horizon Centre in Brighton) and they are a resource to help open up a conversation with children, or simply to read yourself.
The use of stories in this way has spurred me on and persuaded me not to shy away from the topic. There are a myriad of experiences, and I can only put one down in writing and on stage, but I hope it might give voice (a bright and childish voice!) to things that are very hard to talk about.

Making Shiver
Shiver was inspired by a family story and a lot of research into the history of WW1 and the women left behind. While the men were away, young working class women were gaining independence by working in factories and taking home a wage that they could spend however they wanted. Fashions changed accordingly: hemlines rose, and women began to go out unaccompanied by male relatives. Feminists began to fear that the campaign for the vote would be thwarted by loose morals, and hysteria about the soaring numbers of illegitimate children reached newspapers. Marie Stopes' first book Married Love was published in 1918 and tackled the subject of female sexual pleasure and consent within marriage, as well as giving voice to a rising eugenicist argument, which was a key strand in the birth control movement. Women's Patrols were set up by concerned citizens to scour the streets and parks of London at night, splitting up couples and following men home with flashlights. It was an era of panic for the establishment as young women began discovering their own power and sexuality.
Against this backdrop, the (potentially true) story of my great-great-grandmother became more interesting. My grandmother and her mother before her were adopted, and the rumour Shiver is based on emerged when my grandmother found her siblings at the age of seventy. Her siblings told her that her mother, Ivy, was adopted from a grand house in Marylebone where her mother, Alice, had been a servant and met a Russian noble on the run from the revolution. I dug a little deeper, and found a man with some resemblance to the family, round faced and pink cheeked; his name was Boris Anrep. Boris is fascinating; he had links to the Bloomsbury set and laid the mosaics in the National Gallery. Picture a bear of a man with an infectious laugh, a love of food and a string of mistresses. He sounded like a good character, so I set out to tell the story of when Alice met Boris.
Shiver was co-written and directed by Elske Waite, artistic director of Ondervinden, and we started writing our show from the perspective of Alice. The trouble was, I knew very little about her, and the stories of maids have rarely been written down (Margaret Powell being a great exception); she had disappeared, and so had her story. Two weeks before we were due to travel up to Edinburgh, over a bowl of noodles, we decided to rewrite the whole thing from the perspective of everyone else in her life: her sister, the housekeeper, a stranger at a party, and the registrar who recorded her birth; the only evidence of her existence. Our brilliant sound designer Vili Chaushev managed to create a soundscape in no time, and we had a show! We got a good review in the Scotsman and some great feedback, but I would love to revisit it and revive the play.

What is Collaborative & Devised Theatre?
Collaborative and Devised Theatre was the name of my course at Central, and if those words mean nothing to you I'm not surprised; when I arrived on my first day I only had a vague idea what I was enrolling for.
Broadly, our course differs from other actor training because it is geared towards making theatre.
Devised work is a cover-all term for new plays made by an ensemble of actors (and, if you're lucky a whole range of creatives). There may well be a writer involved, but a script is often the last thing that appears in the rehearsal room, rather than the first. Devised theatre includes physical theatre, dance theatre, multi-media, circus…anything really. A play that has been devised could end up looking like a kitchen sink drama or installation art.
'War & War' dir. Kirsty Housley (Complicite), Pleasance Islington 2017
Many theatres are reluctant to program devised work because there is no guaranteed outcome, but I love it because it is a collective rather than a singular vision.
We trained classically as well, performing in Chekhov, Shakespeare, Restoration comedy and American realism. Alumni can be found at Shakespeare's Globe, West End musicals, London fringe venues, film and TV. Some have taken to writing or directing in venues around London and the world.

Queens of the Stone Age - Memorial Coliseum - 10/30/2014
David Accomazzo October 31, 2014 9:49AM
Queens of the Stone Age began its set a little after 7 p.m. at the Memorial Coliseum at the Arizona State Fair. To get there, you have to spend time winding through the fairgrounds, past the hordes of children tugging their parents' hands, begging for tickets to games and rides. There's a giant livestock show that delights kids of all ages, and bright, flashing lights enthrall the eye in every which direction.
The family-friendly, funnel cake-pushing atmosphere of the Arizona State Fair lent a hilarious air to the concert last night, such as during the band's second song, "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," in which frontman Josh Homme croons all the drugs the band took while recording their second album, Rated R: "Nicotine, Valium, Vicodin, marijuana, ecstasy, and alcohol, c-c-c-c-c-cocaine!"
Because let's face it, there was no reason why Queens of the Stone Age (QOTSA) should have played the State Fair. This year's lineup was surprisingly strong, with Wiz Kalifa and Weezer lending hip musical cred to the lineup, but Queens of the Stone Age is absolutely the highlight. There is no more important rock band to emerge in the past 15 years, and to see them as a sideshow to the garish display of lights and deep-fried garbage foods seemed somewhat demeaning to the group's legacy. Let's face it, most bands that play state fairs across the country are past their prime. But not QOTSA. There is no band that has carried the torch for rock 'n' roll's future while honoring its past better than Queens of the Stone Age, and during the 2000s, when guitar- and riff-driven rock was dying a slow death at the hands of nu-metal and electronic dance music, Queens of the Stone Age was there, cracking jokes, smoking cigarettes, and drinking whiskey and keeping rock alive.
For the band's part, they seemed to take the state fair thing in sardonic stride, even though they hardly mentioned the show at all on its website and social media leading up to it. Homme cracked jokes about the fair a few times, including during a lull in "Feel Good Hit of the Summer," when he sneered, "Arizona State Fair. My pig won the greatest pig of all. All I did was feed him one simple thing." (The one simple thing was drugs.) Homme also shared, "I used to live here, and in '91 I saw Nirvana play here." It was actually 1993, but dang. The state fair has a history in picking great bands, I suppose.
The set list, including the encore, featured 17 songs and kicked off with "Keep Your Eyes Peeled," the dark, murky, hypnotic opening track from the band's excellent sixth album, 2013's ...Like Clockwork. The set tapped the new album for seven out of 17 songs, which is no problem. ...Like Clockwork is a brilliant, album, the darkest and most musically mature album in QOTSA's catalog.
So many bands strike gold with their first album or two and then coast on the brilliance of their early work. No way you can put Queens into that category. Every album QOTSA has ever produced contains moments of undiluted rock 'n' roll genius, and ...Like Clockwork stands proudly next to the band's five other albums.
The band played most of the new songs faithfully to the album version, while throwing in some kinks to older songs, "Little Sister" for example, to keep things interesting for both them and the die-hard fans in the audience. On "Smooth Sailing," Homme swapped the word "kisses" for "hickies" in the line, "I've got bruises and hickies, stitches and scars." The audience didn't care, though, and gave a raucous cheer at the end of the song. The band's seventh tune was "Someone's In the Wolf," from the oft-overlooked album Lullabies to Paralyze. It was a killer deep cut; according to setlist.fm, it was the first time the band played the song since 2006 2011. Homme seemed to really get into "God Is the Sun," swaying his hips in a way that makes you appreciate his "Ginger Elvis" nickname. "Make It Wit Chu," perhaps the sexiest song in QOTSA's catalog, featured Homme going absolutely crazy on the guitar solo. The final song of the set, Homme wryly remarked, "No One Knows," Homme wryly remarked, "This is a song that hopefully everybody knows." Jon Theodore, the ex-Mars Volta drummer who joined QOTSA partway through the recording process of ...Like Clockwork, dominated the drum parts Dave Grohl wrote for the song back in early years of the new millennium.
When the band retook the stage for the encore, Homme requested that the venue kill the lights and that everyone turn on the flashlights on their cell phones. The resulting glow illuminated the entire venue. "Isn't that fucking beautiful," Homme commented. "We're all good friends. Not like everyone else, who's a fair weather friend," launching the band into "Fairweather Friends," which featured a guest performance from Elton John.
Just kidding! But Sir Elton did do vocals on the album version of the song, approaching Homme about the collaboration by calling him and saying, "The only thing misssing from your band is an actual queen." The band then did "You Think I Ain't Worth a Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire," which isn't the same without ex-bassist Nick Oliveri (Oliveri will perform the song at QOTSA's show in Los Angeles tonight).
"On behalf of all the tequila and the rest of the band, I'd like to say thank you so much," Homme said, before the band ended the night with "A Song for the Dead."
The sound inside the Memorial Coliseum left a lot to be desired. Josh Homme is a genius with guitar tones and production, but the nuances of his guitar work got swallowed by the cavernous confines of the coliseum. Not saying it was terrible -- a few hiccups aside, the sound guys did their job -- but a venue like Comerica Theatre or even US Airways Center would have done much better service to the band's audio.

Critic's Notebook:
Last Night: Queens of the Stone Age at the Arizona State Fair
The Crowd: Fairly sedentary and non-responsive. I mean, it's Phoenix, so what do you expect, but still -- a little more reaction to the songs would have been nice.
Personal Bias: I moved to Phoenix in April, and two of the things that have made it worth it so far are the Superstition Mountains and the opportunity to see Queens of the Stone for the second time in 14 months on the ...Like Clockwork tour. The first time, at Colorado's gorgeous Red Rocks Amphitheatre, the band played "Better Living Through Chemistry," one of my favorite songs that I thought I'd never hear them play live. This time, they played "Someone's In the Wolf," another favorite song of mine I'd resigned myself to never hearing in concert.
While We're at It: My 21 favorite QOTSA songs, in no particular order:
"If Only" "I Was a Teenage Hand Model" "Mexicola" "You Think I Ain't Worth A Dollar, But I Feel Like a Millionaire" "No One Knows" "A Song for the Dead" "God Is In The Radio" "Tangled Up in Plaid" "Little Sister" "In My Head" "You've Got A killer Scene There, Man" "Turning on a Screw" "I'm Designer" "Feel Good Hit of the Summer" "Auto Pilot" "In The Fade" "Better Living Through Chemistry" "Smooth Sailing" "If I had A Tail" "Born to Hula" "I Appear Missing"

The amount of tax depends on the total sugar content of the drink with companies having to pay 18p per litre on tax if the drink has 5g of sugar or more per 100ml, or 24p per litre if the drink has 8g of sugar or more per 100ml.
The Government has said this is not a tax on consumers, meaning companies do not have to pass the charge on to customers; however, prices of sugary soft drinks are expected to rise.
Under the new tax system a 330ml can of Coca Cola, Old Jamaican Ginger Beer, Pepsi and Dr Pepper are expected to cost 8p more; and a 330ml can of Sprite, Fanta and Schweppes Indian Tonic Water could cost 6p more.
A litre bottle of pop could cost as much as 24p extra.
The new sugar tax is a welcome step for health campaigners. But not all popular sugary drinks are set to be hit with the extra tax.
'Tax rise': Dividends allowance reduced
The dividend allowance which was introduced at £5,000 in 2016/17 is to be reduced to £2,000 for 2018/19 onwards.
This would mean an extra tax liability of £225 for a basic rate taxpayer, £975 higher rate and £1,143 additional rate taxpayers.
Tax changes: Diesel cars
New Diesel cars bought last year will be subject to a charge due to new bands from April 1, if they fail to meet the latest Euro 6 emissions standards in real-word testing.
RELATED: Diesel tax, benefits & five other law changes you need to know about in 2018
The rise for a Ford Fiesta could be as little as £20-30, but a Porsche Cayenne would be hit with a rise in the hundreds of pounds.
The changes don't apply to commercial vans or vehicles, only cars. Diesels with emissions of 1-50g/km diesels will cost £25, 51-70 will cost £105.
And at the top end it's £2070 for highly polluting car like a Porsche Cayenne.
All cars that cost more than £40,000 outright will attract an extra premium fee of £310 for years two to six of ownership, regardless of emissions.
Mortgage interest on residential property
The restrictions on the treatment of mortgage interest on residential property lettings increase for 2018/19: Only 50% of any interest paid will be fully deductible from rental income; relief for the other 50% will be given as a basic rate tax reducer.
The proportions were 75% and 25% in 2017/18 so higher and additional rate taxpayers will see an increased tax liability, according to Deloitte.
This may be more than expected (and could affect basic rate taxpayers too in some circumstances) as only the deductible interest is taken into account for calculating the taxable income.
So for example those with income over £50,000 who have a child benefit clawback will see this affected too, as will those whose income is over £100,000 meaning their personal allowance is tapered.
PAYE tax rates and thresholds 2018 to 2019
Employee personal allowance is now £11,850 per year (up from £11,500) UK basic tax rate 20% on annual earnings above the PAYE tax threshold and up to £34,500 (An extra £1,000 on last year).
Starting rate limit remains at £5,000
Basic rate band is now at £1 – £34,500 from the previous £1 – £33,500
Higher rate band is now at 40% of earnings over £34,501 – £150,000 (£1,000 extra)
Additional rate band stays the same at 45% on annual earnings over £150,000

For so long I thought that part of being a good Christian was to serve in ways that I hated. By some strange logic, I thought doing things that I was not passionate about or built for, on a regular basis, made me holier. No joke, the thought process crossed my mind more than once that I should do_______ because I hate it and that would be crucifying my flesh and make me more like Jesus.
For instance… tiny humans… I love my tiny human (and future tiny humans). And I might possibly love your tiny human in a one on one scenario. But put me in a room full of tiny humans and I want to run away screaming and/or tie up and gag all the tiny humans. My Mom, God bless her, is a Kindergarten teacher and LOVES it. And I spent enough time in and out of her classroom growing up to KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt that I am NOT good with nor passionate about large groups of booger eaters.

First 'ICO of a Building' Is Set to Take Place on a Crowdfunding Platform
After months of claims that real estate assets would be able to offer investments through ICOs, it seems like the first one is actually going to happen. The posh, $200 million St. Regis Hotel in Aspen, Colorado has announced that it will be selling tokens to accredited investors through crowdfunding site Indigogo. The deal is planned for next month and it is a backup option after plans to do a traditional IPO for the property fell through.
What makes this ICO sound a lot more like a credible offering rather than a pump-and-dump scheme that has become so popular in the blockchain space is the fact that the organizers have no misconceptions to the fact that this is the sale of a security. We reported back in May that, in the eyes of the SEC, tokenizing real estate is considered a security and thus falls under rigorous governmental oversight. We interviewed Josh Stein, CEO of Harbor, one of the companies focused on creating regulatory compliance for digitally securitized assets. He told us: "There's a misconception that there's a regulatory problem or that somehow the regulations need to change. They don't. You need to comply with rules around the world. If the compliance doesn't work, nothing else can happen."
In that article we also made a prediction that might be coming true: "The implications from a switch from IPOs to ICOs are huge for the real estate industry. Any single building or portfolio of buildings could be put on an exchange and priced based on demand rather than an appraisal. REITs could also become less popular as they have a number of onerous rules about how many members they can have and what needs to be distributed to shareholders as dividends."
The sale of the St. Regis isn't the only piece of evidence supporting that claim. Last week a Chicago based REIT called Building Blocks said it's is planning to offer a "digital initial public offering" that will, among other things, "drastically reduce legal fees and take only seconds to verify versus days lost in the traditional settlement process."
The bottleneck for ICOs have often been the exchange. The main exchanges like Coinbase and Binance are often not willing to list obscure tokens so many small ICOs have to settle of second-tier, often poorly designed exchanges. This was one of the main complaints from RentBerry investors when they saw their tokens shed value after they became available on the HitBTC exchange.
Working with a company like Indiegogo might be a clever way to solve this problem. The site has been successfully raising money for businesses and charities since 2008. Indiegogo co-founder Slava Rubin seemed to be rather sure of his companies ability to navigate the legal and political hurdles to selling securities, saying: "Anytime you're looking to find a path in an uncertain world, you need to make sure you're doing it [with as much] compliance as possible. We've worked with Congress to figure out how to move forward on equity crowdfunding. We're used to figuring out how to thread the needle."
If the St. Regis is able to be purchased as a token by investors online then it could be the crack that opens the floodgates for the tokenization of real estate assets. Anyone that has delt with the process of setting up an investment vessel for a property, or for multiple properties like a REIT knows that there are a lot of ineffiencies in the process. Technologies like blockchain can help streamline a lot of the valuation and liquidation processes. But it is important to keep in mind that distributed ledger technologies also have a lot of pitfalls, some of which are not even known yet.

The purpose of this investigation was to develop a baccalaureate-level educational program that would provide licensed physical therapist assistants (PTAs) with an avenue for expanding their depth of knowledge, critical thinking abilities, communication skills, and hands-on clinical skill sets beyond their previous training. Such a program could provide two possible paths for the program graduates. The bachelor degree in PTA can be an end in itself, allowing the PTA to gain additional depth of knowledge and skills that will help them in their role as a PTA in any setting, as well as management and leadership opportunities. The second path is to the Doctorate in Physical Therapy Degree. Embedding common prerequisite courses required for entry into a DPT curriculum will allow for a more direct pathway to this goal.
The American Physical Therapy Association (APTA) has facilitated discussions and debate whether the possibility of a baccalaureate-level PTA education is warranted. In 2014, the APTA created a task force to study the feasibility of transitioning from an associate to a baccalaureate degree. They noted a significant gap between the training received in traditional associates degree programs and the increased demands placed on practicing PTAs as more advanced training was identified in order for them to remain competitive with other healthcare professionals such as athletic trainers and exercise physiologists.
The Bachelor of Science Physical Therapist Assistant (BSPTA) program was proposed at the College's PTA Program Advisory Board meeting on May 1, 2014. The response from all stakeholders was positive as advisory board members indicated the need for bachelor-trained PTAs at the local and national level. Further, the expected benefits for graduates of the program include: 1) improved confidence resulting from expanded knowledge and skill set 2) enhanced job satisfaction through professional achievement 3) increased competitiveness in the job market, and 4) the potential for career advancement. To determine whether these interests were indeed apparent, over 150 College PTA graduates were surveyed to determine if the board members' response was indicative of the larger population of clinicians in the field. Of the 61 responses received, 78.69% indicated that a Bachelor of Science degree would be beneficial.
The PTA department at the College then proceeded to developed a Bachelor of Science PTA program (BSPTA). Initially, numerous potential content areas emerged that could be grouped into common themes and organized into course descriptions. The APTA's "Course Prerequisites Summary" document was also consulted to clarify what courses would provide the necessary prerequisites for those PTAs who might want to use the BSPTA to apply for entrance into a DPT program. Faculty consensus was sought regarding courses that should be included in the program and an outline was created with appropriate sequencing for logical progression.
Program implementation began once approval was obtained from the College's accreditation body. Resources including faculty, institutional support, admissions, and fiscal requirements were identified and allocated to the new program. A marketing plan was derived and a target of 8 - 12 students were projected. Information was placed on the College website informing stakeholders of the new degree offering. Electronic and paper brochures were sent to all PTA graduates from the College. The College also worked with neighboring state Chapters of the APTA to obtain permissions to use their databases and informative emails were sent out to the licensees provided by the state chapters.
A cohort of 5 students began in August of 2015 and another cohort of 4 students began in January of 2016. These two cohorts were later joined to attain a more desirable sized cohort. Along with the program handbook, students were provided with a detailed orientation that included information regarding College resources, Canvas (the LMS platform), instructor information, the format of the BSPTA program and other pertinent information.
The following assessments were implemented: Student and faculty course evaluations, Student Program Evaluations/Exit Survey, Faculty yearly survey on curriculum and program expected outcomes, Employer surveys 6 months and 18 months post graduation, Graduate surveys 6 months and 18 months post graduation, and Advisory Board feedback.
The BSPTA degree program in general consists of 17 additional credit hours of General Education courses and 40 credit hours of core PTA coursework beyond a student's Associate PTA degree (32 credits of general education courses and 32 credits of physical therapy core courses) for a total of 121 credits. The program is designed to be completed in a hybrid format consisting of online (5 semesters) and a one-week on-site clinical skills lab at the end of the program. Each course builds upon the student's Associate's degree knowledge and skills with assignments specifically designed to facilitate the integration of didactic content with opportunities/experiences at their current employment.
There has been much discussion of the entry-level degree for the PTA. While the results of these discussions have been that PTA education should remain at the Associate's level, this should not preclude programs from developing Bachelor degree programs to serve the needs of their communities and the needs of practicing PTAs. There is an increasing interest in the academic community to develop baccalaureate-level PTA programs. The BSPTA program at the College provides an example of an alternative educational model for the PTA. This degree allows the PTA to further their skills and knowledge, to advance their career within the PTA scope of practice, and to further their career to the DPT level if desired by providing an educational pathway toward this goal.
This program provides two possible paths for the program graduate. This degree can be an end in itself, allowing the PTA to gain additional depth of knowledge and skills that will help them in their role as a PTA in any practice setting, as well as management and leadership opportunities. The second path is to the Doctorate in Physical Therapy (DPT) Degree. Due to the heavy emphasis on science coursework in the program, the majority of prerequisite requirements are met for students that wish to continue on to a DPT program.
The online format is well received by working adult learners as students are able to complete assignments and read lectures asynchronous which allows for a flexible school schedule. Additionally, the emphasis on evidence-based practice and current research that is embedded in each content area of learning.
Program attrition is a concern for any program. The rigor of the coursework in addition to full-time employment, several students were unable to manage their work and family commitments along with the program coursework.
Another challenge is program low enrollment. There are several possible reasons for lower than projected enrollment including: 1) decreased awareness for this specific degree; 2) poor clarity on the benefits of a BSPTA degree; and 3) uncertainty of the online format. However, we anticipate the interest and enrollment in the program will improve to sustainable levels due to: 1) the expanding interest amongst our colleagues in baccalaureate-level PTA education; 2) more PTAs and PTs being aware of our BSPTA degree offering; and 3) the success of our graduating alumni.
What additional research is needed?
1. What are the essential skills and knowledge needed for a bachelor level PTA to reach goals of advanced proficiency, DPT success, career advancement, leadership goals, and clinical specialty in a practice area?
2. Does a consensus exist as to the common core of skills a PTA should learn?
3. Do patient outcomes improve with a BSPTA clinician versus an ASPTA clinician?
4. What is the financial viability of a BSPTA program?
5. Should there be any entrance requirements for a BSPTA program besides having a PTA license?
6. What are the best formats in which to offer a BSPTA program?

August Heats Up the 'Nati!
One of the earliest gay nightclubs in the tri-state area was "The Downstairs Club" located in Fort Wright, KY. Regular patron, Scott Parker, shares memories and invites those who remember - and those who are curious about the beginning of our local gay bar scene - to the first ever reunion of the club.
The Downstairs Club was " the" gay bright spot of the 1960's and 1970's in the Cincinnati area, and probably the entire country (more on that later). It was located, hidden in the hills south of Covington on Madison Pike in Fort Wright. You could see the roof as you drove down from the road into the driveway of the parking lot. From the lot you had to navigate down several steps to the front door, therefore the name The Downstairs Club. It was also known as The Jachebo Club in the early 60's. It was owned by Jack and Helen Speaks and their son Bobby Combs helped run the club. So Jachebo was derived as a blend of their three names, Jack, Helen & Bobby.
Since the club was so hidden away and had a special arrangement between the owner and local authorities, patrons felt safe and free to express themselves in this unique environment that was The Downstairs Club. The police stopped by on a regular basis. Commend them for allowing this oasis to exist, as there were very few places in the entire country where the gay community could gather for a night of fun and not fear being arrested. It was alarming the first time you saw the police come into the Club. Sometimes new uninformed patrons would naturally think it was a raid and jump out the back window - which was quite a fall, since the building was suspended over the hillside.
One shared story regarding Bobby's sense of humor goes something like this: A good-looking man sat down next to Bobby as he was talking with a group at one the tables. The new guy began stroking Bobby's leg, running his hands up and down his jeans. After several minutes Bobby looked towards the guy and in a friendly voice said, "I'll give you five more minutes to stop that."
The Club hosted yearly drag-queen contest with participants coming from many parts of the country. Little Richard and Jimmy Hendricks were known to sometime stop by when they were performing in Cincinnati. Members of visiting Roller Derby teams would sometimes stop by after their competition. Miss Peaches La Vern was a regular at the club, always making a grand entrance. I can hear her now as she exits for the evening, "Goodbye my children. Your mother is leaving now." The Downstairs Club was known from coast to coast for its uniqueness and the very special place that it was.
The Downstairs Club was the only place in the tristate area where the gay community and their friends could gather for a night of fun and comradery, and with dancing allowed (even slow dancing). This was in the 1960's and early 70's when in more liberal parts of the country, like Los Angeles, dancing was not allowed in gay bars and nightclubs. Nowhere in the city of Los Angeles was dancing allowed. There was one club in Los Angeles County where you could dance. It was hidden in the hills of Topanga Canyon, and so called The Canyon Club. Even there, if you made too much contact while slow dancing, they would tap you on the shoulder and ask you to create more distance between you and your dance partner. In contrast to the Downstairs Club, The Canyon Club would make sure the dancing stopped when the police were spotted driving down the driveway to the club. They had a warning signal by turning up the lights on the dance floor; similar to what would happen as closing time. Everyone would know to stop dancing. Now you can understand how unique The Downstairs Club was during this period. It was truly "one of a kind" and ahead of the times.
As more liberal attitudes evolved and other bars opened that allowed dancing, the need for a hidden refuge dissipated and both The Downstairs Club and The Canyon Club closed in the late 70's.
David Jones and I, as former members, have discussed for several years the possibility of arranging a reunion for patrons of The Downstairs Club. We both live in California, so the logistics have been a bit difficult. With the generous assistance of Nigel Cotterill, this special event will take place on August 29th at Below Zero Lounge in the Cabaret upstairs. It is scheduled from 6:00 - 10:00, with a "meet and greet" between 6:00 and 6:30 for those who have signed up to attend. There will be several short entertainment sessions during the evening with social time between shows. The first extravaganza will begin at 7:00.
We have people coming from: San Francisco, Los Angeles, Michigan, and many from the Cincinnati area; and probably from Palm Springs, Chicago, and Tennessee; and possibly New York. We have scattered in all directions, but loved our extended family that was bonded by the good times at The Downstairs Club. We are drawn by a good vibration in the air, to reconnect and travel back in time, to meet once again and celebrate.
This will be a gathering of the tribe that was The Downstairs Club, their friends and interested community in the Cincinnati area. So come and join us for what is shaping up to be a very interesting and entertaining evening at the Below Zero Lounge on August 29th. We expect it to be "A Hot August Night" for all to enjoy and remember!

Hays Sleep Outs raise over £28,000 for leading youth homelessness charity
Hays, the leading recruiting expert, has raised over £28,000 for their charity partner End Youth Homelessness by taking part in Sleep Out events across the UK.
Over 60 Hays employees voluntarily spent a night sleeping on the streets in recent weeks to raise awareness of homeless young people in the UK. The Sleep Out events were arranged by End Youth Homelessness' network of 11 local member charities across the UK.
Several Sleep Out events in London raised over £10,000 collectively, followed by events in the South East and New Malden, which each raised over £4,200. Sleep Out events were also held in the East of England, the Midlands and Northern Ireland.
The money raised will go directly to End Youth Homelessness' Employability Fund, which over the course of a year will help 80 young people into employment, education and training pathways. The fund will provide homeless young people with individually-tailored support to work towards their career goals, whatever their previous education or work experience.
Hays has raised over £42,000 for End Youth Homelessness since partnering with the charity in July this year.
Simon Winfield, Managing Director of Hays UK and Ireland, comments: "We're extremely proud to have raised such a significant amount for our charity partner, End Youth Homelessness, in the lead up to Christmas and continue our ongoing support for homeless young people in the UK. This issue is close to the hearts of many of us at Hays, so it's fantastic that over 60 of our staff took part in Sleep Out events to raise such vital funds and awareness. We hope our fundraising for End Youth Homelessness will help raise funds which will help towards giving homeless young people a chance to make it off the streets and into education and employment."
Nick Connolly, Managing Director of End Youth Homelessness, said: "We are enormously grateful to everyone at Hays for their hard work and support so far. To have raised such a fantastic sum in the first few months of the partnership is an incredible achievement and testament to their dedicated and generous workforce. Special thanks must also go to those that gave up their beds on a cold November night and slept out across the UK to raise money for our Employability Fund. The money raised will help homeless young people build the skills, confidence and high aspirations they need to get into work and out of homelessness for good."

Rishabh Pant will give selection headaches ahead of the World Cup, reckons Engineer | Photo Credit: AP
Rishabh Pant has rarely done anything wrong so far in his international career as he continues to make the right noises with his performances ahead of the 2019 World Cup. The young Delhi wicket-keeper batsman displayed composure and determination in his brilliant century in the final 4th Test match at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Post his heroics in Australia, selectors clarified that he was one for the future and is very much in India's plan for the World Cup.
However, former Indian wicket-keeper Farokh Engineer believes Pant is still work in progress when it comes to wicket-keeping and his technically not correct yet. Engineer lavished praise on Pant's batting but warned that he shouldn't be praised too much at the moment as he still needs to work on his wicket-keeping.
"His approach is same as MS Dhoni's. But don't praise him sky-high at the moment. Encourage him. (But) He's technically so incorrect," said Engineer, as quoted by PTI.
Pant did some magnificent job behind the wickets against Australia as he set a record by taking a total of 11 catches in a Test match. He also proved his mettle with the bat in difficult conditions amassing 350 runs in seven innings including a century. He scored a sensational hundred, first by an Indian wicket-keeper in the final Test match in Sydney.
Engineer reckoned that Pant's performances with the bat have been exceptional and it will be a tough call for selectors to leave him out of the World Cup squad. He also added that Pant should be given some time to improve his wicket-keeping.
"Question is, for the World Cup will you pick Dhoni? How can you drop Pant? He's done so well. These are the questions for the selectors the three," he said, adding that, "I don't want to sound harsh. Give him time. He (Pant) will improve. I wish I could have a couple of times with him to make him a good wicket keeper."
Pant, who made his ODI debut against West Indies last year, has played just three fifty-over games for India scoring 41 runs.

As Blatter took his seat, performer Simon Brodkin rose from a front-row seat to confront him.
"This is for North Korea 2026," Brodkin said as he put the bills on the desk in front of Blatter. "Thank you very much. As a North Korean football ambassador, I'm delighted that I've been able to seal the deal with FIFA and North Korea for the 2026 World Cup. It makes sense for everyone."
Brodkin then tossed the notes into the air as security led him away.

Chicago's Hi-energy Rock Band - Playing the music you love to hear!
Call for bookings (630) 846-0925
About Level 5
Once again guitar buddies Frank Bailey & Jerry Webb (from Broken Glass band and pals from way back..) teamed up in 2017 and decided to go through the audition process of putting together yet another rock band.
Spending several months auditioning members for a rhythm section they set out first to find a drummer to set the beat, since either Frank or Jerry could fill in as bassist temporarily, getting that perfect fit on drums was essential before having a bassist. After a dozen auditions their 1st drummer was in place.
Next step was to find a bassist. After a couple dozen bass players later through the studio door enters Adam Roman and his fretless Fender bass and immediately the connection was made. Unfortunately though with Adam's perfect sense for timing and meter it was soon realized that the current drummer would not work.
The only answer to the call for the perfect drummer was for Frank to contact Don Hammer, a drummer he'd played with in his previous rock band, Broken Glass II. When Don and Adam played together that first session the connection was made and the perfect rhythm section was in place. Together the 4 members decided that they would need to add a 5th member, a Lead Vocalist, to get the project to the next Level, which they happened to tag this objective to be known as LEVEL V.
Hence the name for the Project was born, Welcome to LEVEL V.
With the final 5th piece of the puzzle still missing, once again the search was on, a search that wound up taking several vocalist's auditions, with a few even put to work on the material but only to turn out not to be the right fit. After countless failed Vocal auditions and a few temporary members Jim Carollo came to the studio and sang his heart out for the band and became lucky #7 Vocalist / Front-man for the rock show of LEVEL V... and the story continues from there (surely to be updated in the future)
Press here to check out the band photos !
Despite sharing many of the same interests and pastimes, we all are inspired by different things that lead us to work seamlessly in a creative setting. We take our music serious but set out to enjoy working together as a priority. So the time and effort we are investing in working through the music is displayed in each song we play together as a band.
Our Influences
With the diverse musical history of each member of the band coming to terms with song selection proved to be quite a feat in itself. We can however say that the music that has been selected was chosen from several intra-genres of rocks great songs and the artists that we enjoy listening to, which we have combined in a playlist that allows us to create our unique sound within the soundscape of this music.
Be the first to hear about upcoming gigs and new recorded music releases.
Do you have questions, want to book a show, or collaborate on a new piece? Reach out and let's make music happen.

Paulinella chromatophora. Foto: Eva Nowack, Univ. zu Köln. Source.
The evidence is quite compelling. All plastids (photosynthetic organelles and non-photosynthetic kin) are thought to be descended from one cyanobacterium that was engulfed by one unicellular heterotrophic eukaryote approximately one billion years ago. The descendents of that host are today's green algae (and plants), red algae, and glaucophytes (a group of microscopic freshwater algae). Several other eukaryote lineages acquired plastids second-hand by engulfing a plastid-containing red or green alga (a process called secondary symbiosis to distinguish it from the original primary symbiosis). For an interesting review of the convoluted history of plastid acquisition, click here.
...until recently when an obscure freshwater amoeba, Paulinella chromatophora, attracted attention for possibly hosting an unrelated plastid. In other words, it may have acquired its cyanobacterium all on its own, which would be big news. It is a phototroph, but its closest relatives are heterotrophs, some of which feed on cyanobacteria.
When P. chromatophora was first described over a hundred years ago, its prominent sausage-shaped photosynthetic entities were named chromatophores — an unfortunate choice because the term has other meanings as well — but it has stuck. Other names are used as well, adding to the confusion. Some call them cyanelles because they have retained their peptidoglycan cell walls and thus look more like the cyanobacteria they once were. Some call them photosynthetic endosymbionts, while yet others argue that they are organelles deserving of the name plastid.
Names aside, what do we know about them? The complete genome sequence of the Paulinella chromatophore was recently published. It has a single chromosome containing only 1,021,616 bp — a reduction of more than a third compared to the smallest known genome of a cyanobacterium (Prochlorococcus marinus). Of the 39 sequenced cyanobacterial genomes, the one most closely related to the chromotophore genome is that of a Synechococcus. Interestingly, Prochlorococcus and Synechococcus form a monophyletic lineage apart from all other cyanobacteria and all known plastids. Thus it is clear that this chromatophore is no wayward plastid. The genomes of the chromatophore and Synechococcus WH5701 are remarkably similar. The Synechococcus genome contains orthologs for 855 of the chromatophore's 867 protein-encoding genes, in virtually the identical gene order. Can't get much closer that that.
Are the chromatophores true plastids or mere endosymbionts? This is being hotly debated. Although there is no clear line between the two, there are some generally accepted criteria for organelle status: organelle replication is controlled by the host; neither party can survive independently; organelles haves undergone massive genome reduction including horizontal transfer of some genes to the host nuclear genome. And most tellingly, host-translated proteins required by the organelle are directed to the organelle by a dedicated transport system.
So, how do the chromatophores measure up? So far so good (for the organelle fans). Chromatophore replication is tied to host cell replication. The host-chromatophore relationship appears to be stable (more than 15 years in laboratory culture) and obligatory. Genome reduction has occurred, and the presence of pseudogenes indicates that it may be ongoing. Intriguingly, a few genes thought to be needed for intracellular life appear to be missing, too. Perhaps they now reside in the host nuclear genome, or perhaps their role is filled by metabolites provided by the host. As to the key criteria — transfer of cyanobacterial genes to the host genome and transport of proteins back to the chromatophore — answers must await further experimental results. It is difficult to be patient, as this is exciting news. But given that this symbiosis is estimated to have occurred roughly 60 Mya, I guess we can wait a little longer.

Q: Show Div when Grid Item is Clicked - Javascript not Updating Panel On one aspx page I have a GridView that has a list of Thingys that are loaded from db. This is placed in one div.
In another Div with display=none I have the form to add a new thingy.
I also have a link [add new thingy] that hides the gridview div and shows the content of the form.
I am using JS methods to hide and show the Divs.
Now in the grid the first column is also a link that I want to load the form with the Thingy info without postback.
Currently the problem is that if I use the Grid's OnRowCommand I get a postback.
1) how can I remove that postback and load the form in the second Div
2) a similar issue is on save form, I can switch back to the gridview div using js really quickly but how do I reload the grid with the newly saved Thingies.
I am open to a completely different approach if it solves the issue. I chose this approach over the much easier UpdatePanel because its much faster to switch between the contents without a postback.
Thanks in advance.

A: What you are looking to do is use Ajax on this page, here is what you need to have in place to do that:

*

*Code behind create functions with the [WebMethod] Attribute.  These functions will be called by JavaScript to handle the server side processing (getting updated information, creating new items, etc.)

*Hava a ScriptManager control on the .aspx page that has EnabledPageMethods="True"

*Create JavaScript to populate the controls and send requests to the code behind using Ajax.  I would look into the jQuery and Knockout Frameworks if I where you.

Resources:

*

*Asp.net call C# method from Ajax

*jQuery

*KnockoutJs

Металічна меса () — новий вид музичного супроводу літургії в євангелічно-лютеранській церкві Фінляндії, при якому співи і частини богослужіння виконуються під акомпанемент важкої металевої музики.

Історія
Ідея подібної літургійної діяльності народилася в результаті спілкування п'яти шанувальників металевої музики, серед яких троє були служителями Церкви Фінляндії (пастори Хака Кекяляйнен і Юкка Валкама і міністрант Мікко Саарі) і двох початківців музикантів — Маркус Коррі
і Юхані Палттала. У перший раз подібне богослужіння було проведено 29 червня 2006 року в церкві Темппеліаукіо напередодні щорічного фестивалю важкого року Tuska.

Після цього ця літургія почала регулярно проводитися в різних церквах Фінляндії, при цьому на збори приходили сотні людей.

Альбом

У 2008 році був випущений диск Metallimessu, у записі якого взяли участь музиканти Тааге Лайх (Kilpi), Вілле Туомі (Suburban Tribe), Танья Лайн (Lullacry), Туомас Ніємінен (Adamantra), Юхані Мухонен (Sorrowind) і Хейккі Пеюхія (Twilightning). Альбом зайняв 12 місце в національному хіт-параді, а часто знаходився в Top-40 близько 3 тижнів.

Venue : Jowai in Meghalaya, India.
The Behdienkhlam Festival
Behdienkhlam Festival is the most celebrated Cultural festival among the Pnars. Behdienkhlam (chasing away the Demon of Cholera) is celebrated annually in July after the sowing period, the most important dance festival of the Jaintia tribes. This festival Tour is also an invocation to God, seeking his blessings for a bumper harvest. The women however do not participate in the dancing, as they have an important function of offering sacrificial food to the spirits of the forefathers. The festival held at Jowai is one of the most well known and recreational festival in Meghalaya.
The Rituals in the Behdienkhlam Festival
A series of religious rites is being performed by the Daloi (chief). During the Behdienkhlam Cultural Festival Tour, young men make a symbolic gesture of driving away of the evil spirit, plague and disease by beating of the roof of every house with bamboo poles.
The climax of the celebration is the fight for a large undressed beam by two groups of people in opposition to each other. This leads to the heavy beam get across a muddy ditch called Wah-eit-nar. A lot of horse play enters into this part of the event, when mud is smeared by the participants on each other.
During the celebrations of Behdienkhlam festival of North East India, the ceremony and ritual is carried out for three days and on the last day, in the afternoon people would gather in a place called Aitnar and both young and old would dance to the tunes of the pipes and drums. The dancers are highly emotional when tall-decorated structures called rots and a wooden post-called khnongs would be brought into the pool. It is desirable that there should be rain on the day of the festival. The climax of this famous festival of North East India is when people dressed up in their best attire would converge to a place called Mynthong to witness a game played similar to football, called dad-lawakor. The game is played with a wooden ball between the Northerners and the Southerners. The side wins the match by putting the ball on the otherside would signify that in the following year there would be a bumper harvest in that particular region. In the evening there would be a lot of funfair and merry making.


The County Commission last week cleared the way for development of a huge new Grand Harbor subdivision of nearly 900 single-family and multifamily homes built in a serpentine layout amid a manmade saltwater marsh and system of waterways designed to help clean up the Indian River Lagoon.
As part of the project, three quarters of a mile of raised boardwalk will be constructed that will allow nature lovers to walk deep into the mangroves behind the new development.
At the meeting, commissioners approved rezoning a 413-acre tract north of 53rd Street from residential to Planned Development, a designation that gives developers more flexibility in designing a new community, in this case clustering buildings to create more open green space.
The environmentally innovative subdivision, known as Spoonbill Reserve, will be developed by Grand Harbor North Land LLC on acreage that lies between U.S. 1 and the Indian River Lagoon, and between 63rd Street in the north and 53rd Street to the south.
According to a preliminary plan submitted to the county, the site incorporates the adjacent 67-acre Spoonbill Marsh, a manmade water treatment facility operated by the county since 2008 under a 100-year lease agreement on land owned by Grand Harbor.
About 12 million gallons a day of lagoon water will be pumped into the subdivision marsh, where aquatic plants will absorb nutrients and filter pollutants, cleansing the water before it is discharged back into the waterway.
The new flow-way will clean six times as much lagoon water as the existing facility, while simultaneously creating a scenic habitat for wildlife and enhancing the aesthetics of the subdivision.
Masteller & Moler engineering firm prepared the preliminary plan and Steve Moler is the developer's representative on the project. He has shepherded the plan through the approval process so far, securing needed permits from St. Johns Water Management District and the Florida Department of Transportation.
Moler said a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is forthcoming.
Chip Swindell, owner and principal engineer of Ecotech Consultants, is designing the saltwater marsh and flow-way. He also designed Spoonbill Marsh for the county.
Both Moler and Swindell said former Grand Harbor general manager Chris Cleary spearheaded the environmentally-conscious subdivision, though he has since left that job and is no longer involved with the project.
"Chris Cleary is a very smart guy and very intuitive and very interested in the environment," Swindell said. "When he saw how well Spoonbill Marsh turned out as a wildlife refuge and water treatment facility, he asked me to design a water-based community.
The next step will be to develop and seek county approval for a more detailed site plan. No timeframe for when site work will begin was provided.
