America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy
By James Gustave Speth
Other Versions Video
Schumacher Center Lecture December 2012 First Congregational Church, Great Barrington, MA
In this lecture based on his book, America the Possible: Manifesto for a New Economy (2012), James Gustave Speth addresses the problems that we are facing today as a nation and as a globe. Beginning on the local and regional levels, Speth says that we must forge together to build a coherent, positive, and plausible America from the ground up. As he envisions what the future will look like, he is adamant that America the Possible can be achieved by first changing our culture, our values, and our consciousness in this country in order to move towards a new economy that prioritizes sustaining the well-being of people and the planet.

Q: How to Create Global Header for all pages in html(5)? I have created an HTML page 'header.html'.  Then I need to implement the same header on about, services, contact page.
I know that we can do it via PHP Include.  But as an HTML Developer, Is there any way to use like this in HTML without using third party code, especially in HTML 5?
Also I came to know that Dreamweaver has an option to make templates file. But I don't know is it valid in Web 3.0 and W3c.
Please Help me.

A: You need either a server-side language like PHP or Server Side Includes, or you use something like Dreamweaver which will assemble HTML files for you from parts which you then upload to the server. You cannot do it browser-side using HTML only.

Travel in Auckland, New Zealand podcast
ByCraig and Linda Updated on August 3, 2015
Auckland, known as the "City of Sails" is New Zealand's largest city. It's surrounded by sea and is studded with volcanic mountains, and is a very pleasant place to live or visit — it ranked third in the 2011 Worldwide Quality of Living Survey, up from previous years.

Short history of Auckland
Cheap accommodation in Auckland
Auckland hostels
Auckland is a very spread-out city, with a land area almost equalling that of Los Angeles — but it spreads north and south rather than in all directions, as it's situated on a narrow isthmus. Auckland's four main regions recently merged to create a "super-city" with one governing body, but the geographical divisions remain: across the Harbour Bridge from the central city is the North Shore, to the west is Waitakere (with the Waitakere Ranges parklands behind the suburban sprawl), and South Auckland (the ex-Manukau City) is, surprisingly, to the south.
The central business district is centred around Queen Street, which runs from the harbour south (up) to Karangahape ("K") Road. Quay Street runs along the waterfront, with Viaduct Harbour at its western end and Britomart Transport Centre a little to the east of Queen Street. At the top of Queen Street, following K Road to the east will take you to to the Auckland Domain, and westwards is trendy Ponsonby.
Name: Auckland, New Zealand
Place: North Island, New Zealand
Population:1.4 million
Languages: English. Maori and New Zealand Sign Language are also official languages
Known for: The Sky Tower, hosting the Americas Cup, scenery
Temperatures: Summer 14-24, winter 7-15
Airports: Auckland International Airport (AKL), 20km south of city. Find airfare to New Zealand.
Price of a pint: NZ$8
Price of a dorm bed: NZ$20-25
Price of a public transport ticket: NZ$1.80 (one stage on the bus)
Auckland has the full range of places to stay. High-end options include the Hilton, the Stamford Plaza, and the Skycity Grand Hotel at the base of the Sky Tower. For budget hotels, try Jucy Hotel, or see what wotif.com has to offer.
There are a wide range of hostels to choose from, most of which have both dorm beds and private rooms available. Be aware that you might be charged extra for linen, as many hostels expect you to bring your own sleeping bag.
As a vibrant multi-cultural city, Auckland has quality food on offer from all over the world. Takeaway options include sushi, kebabs, pizza, Chinese, Korean and a whole lot more. Make sure you drop into a bakery or dairy (convenience store) and try a hot meat pie — it's traditional. Another great cheap eat is fish and chips — you'll find a fish and chip shop in every suburb, and a feast on the beach is a great way to start the weekend.
The meat in New Zealand is second-to-none, so make sure you have a juicy steak or dig into some lamb shanks if you're so inclined — animals in New Zealand have a good life before they hit your plate, so there's no guilt required.
Check out what to eat and drink in New Zealand.
Sadly, Auckland's public transport isn't the most comprehensive, since the population density is so low. You'll be fine walking around the city, but if you want to venture further afield you're better off hiring a car. Taxis are generally safe and well-priced, though it's usually easier to call ahead for one than trying to hail one on the street.
When you arrive, you'll likely arrive at the Auckland International Airport. Getting away from there is an expensive enterprise unless you get someone to pick you up. The Airbus is probably your best bet — to the city it's $16 one-way, $26 return. A taxi could be a little cheaper if there's three or more of you, depending on your destination.
If you decide to brave the public transport, you'll probably be catching the bus. The train network has improved recently, but doesn't cover very much of the city. Buy your ticket for the bus from the driver — just state your destination and the driver will tell you the price. A day pass will probably save you some cash if you're planning to do a lot of travelling in one day, and if you're staying in the city for a while it might be worth getting a Hop card. It's a tag-on, tag-off card that you load with money and can also use to make small purchases in some shops. You get a discount off the cash fare and can travel for free on the red City Link buses with a Hop card. Check out maxx.co.nz for more information.

And find out why Spaceships are the swiss army knife of campervans.
Attractions — free
Auckland's a city where a wander around will be rewarded. Explore posh Ponsonby, edgy Kingsland and the always-busy Viaduct and brand-new Wynyard Quarter, then head further afield to a suburb of your choice. Mission Bay is worth a visit, for a swim in summer or a coffee any time. There are a lot of parks to explore and relax in, or choose a beach you like the look of — Piha being the best-known surf beach.
Head out to the Waitakere Ranges (west) to do some short day walks, have a picnic at the top of one of Auckland's many volcanic hills, and visit Otara markets (south) for fresh fruit and veges, clothes and knick-knacks.
New Zealand is well-known for its wines and there are four wine regions within day-trip distance from Auckland. Matakana to the north, Kumeu to the northwest, Clevedon to the south, and Waiheke Island — a 45-minute ferry ride away. Most wineries won't charge you for tastings (except on Waiheke), but it's polite to buy something if you can, especially if there's a large group of you.
Attractions — seasonal
In summer, Auckland is buzzing with free events, mostly held in the parks which dot the city. Music in Parks tends to be held in smaller reserves, while the big events like Christmas in the Park are held in the enormous Domain.
In summer, Auckland is buzzing with free events.
Auckland University's annual Summer Shakespeare is also held outside, on the grounds of the University ($25 per person), and the Lantern Festival to celebrate Chinese New Year is held just across the road in Albert Park.
Other events that are held at various times throughout the year include the Pasifika Festival in March, the Comedy Festival in May, and the Film Festival in July. Plus, there are many sporting events to attend, from school competitions to premier events — notably the Rugby World Cup, which took place in 2011. And hopefully the America's Cup yacht race will be held here again soon! Check out the Auckland Council website for event listings.
Attractions — paid
Auckland has the regular offerings — a good museum and art gallery (recently refurbished and reopened), an aquarium (Kelly Tarlton's) and an amusement park (Rainbow's End). But its real attraction lies in its natural beauty, so spend your sightseeing money on seeing the sights. Catch a ferry to Rangitoto Island ($27 pp return) and hike to the top of the volcanic peak. Or you could visit Waiheke Island ($35 pp return) or Great Barrier ($85 pp return, $120 during holiday season) but each of these really require more than a day. The zoo is worth a visit if you're travelling with kids, and while you're out there drop into the Museum of Transport and Technology (MOTAT).
A trip to the top of the Sky Tower is a must (NZ$28), and you can even bungy off it if you want ($195 for backpackers). The Harbour Bridge also has a bungy option (NZ$150), or you could do the Harbour Bridge Climb (NZ$120) if you think you'd look good in their attractive jumpsuits.

Lonely Planet's Auckland guide is compact and useful, and you'll find comprehensive information in their New Zealand guide as well. Rough Guides has a New Zealand guide, and Wallpaper's Auckland guide is beautiful and informative. And Offbeat Guides will create a personalised guide for you using information sourced online.
You've probably flown in to Auckland from overseas, so you definitely need to see more of New Zealand. Hire or buy a car and head north for a few days then go south to explore more of the North Island. You need at least 10 days to see the North Island, and you can take your car on the ferry across to the South Island — allow two weeks minimum. You can fly out of Christchurch, so leave your car there and head to Australia or a nice Pacific Island such as Fiji or Samoa.

crypto bill: The Crypto bill can lead to creation of more meaningful crypto products
The crypto mania generated a kind of lure of easy money few other things could match. Overnight rises of 64,000% per cent are almost inconceivable and defy any logic of investment and growth. This, coupled with the ever-extending advisements from crypto exchanges started luring everyone to this crypto maze. Then came NFT cryptos. Everyone thought that their old photo could have many buyers and can be the asset that can make them rich. So, everyone assumed that everyone will invest in everything crypto – just say the word and let it be on an exchange.
Everyone was making loads of money. Or could smell money around them.
The crypto party was on and as participants kept joining the party, its music kept going louder and louder. So loud that some of the saner voices became too difficult to hear. Hardly few understood anything of what was happening or what the product was. All one had to do to make a lot of money was to start with some money.
All parties come to an end. The government allows parties to continue to a certain point and wants them to end by a certain timeline in every city. Something similar happened to this party too. The Government of India will be tabling a Crypto regulation bill in Parliament that is expected to ban all private cryptos. While not much is clear about the contents of the bill, prudent that the government did step in now. According to RBI, 70% of crypto investors have only invested less than Rs 3000 so far. So, we may have many people joining the party, they have not yet played big money at the roulette. This is a good time for the government to bring in some sanity and order to the market before it gets to the point when mass participation explodes further, and people begin investing significant amounts they cannot afford to lose.

The crypto bill envisages creating an enabling framework for a Central Bank Digital Currency, for the RBI to create the Crypto Rupee. The RBI has been consistent in its messages and warnings that it is not comfortable with cryptocurrencies and investors may lose all their invested capital. Crypto technology can enable a lot of good use products and solutions. What we saw so far was mainly a shallow use of the technology. The first tokens envisaged to become a replacement to fiat currency and therefore they were called cryptocurrencies. Later, they became highly traded only because of the trustless architecture of public blockchains underlying them. The latest crypto interest has been in NFTs or Non-Fungible Tokens that give you part ownership of any digital asset. People started creating NFTs of photos, collectibles, memes etc.
Much of the crypto tokens created and traded were fun cryptos that people had fun investing in with small amounts leading to more and more people joining the crypto party. Such investments were made with smaller amounts as people were testing waters. This created a new asset class and a need for serious consideration to the Digital Assets.
Since the Crypto bill was enlisted to be considered by the parliament, there is a significant amount of noise about how the ban on private Crypto tokens can be very regressive. The principal justification was how the country may be deprived of the benefits of the underlying BlockChain technologies. This is not true though. Much of the crypto limelight has been hogged by those who have a vested interest in promoting the current crypto tokens. However, the same crypto technology can be used to create many crypto products and solutions that can enable some real useful purpose.

The Crypto bill also envisages an enabling room for certain exceptions to the ban to "promote the underlying technology of cryptocurrency and its uses". This small but significant enabling provision can lead to new kinds of cryptos that may survive the ban. Such tokens can represent true ownership of real assets (like art, real estate etc.) or may represent a beneficial interest in an income stream (like investing in a Solar farm to produce electricity).
In our own case at RealX, we had created a legal model for digital co-ownership of properties with co-ownership information maintained on PropChain (our BlockChain solution). However, we believed until the government brings in more clarity on proper definition and recognition for Digital Assets, it may be risky to Tokenise Real Estate, despite being ready with the technology to do so. With an RBI issued CBDC, we can usher into a very different transaction ecosystem with near-immediate payments and settlement of such transactions even in assets like Real Estate.
There can be many more applications that may be fostered in a more structured and clearer environment that may follow the Crypto bill. The crypto exchanges may lose trading of many of the older tokens that may get banned. However, the silver lining is that they may shift to trading in the tokens that may get more legitimacy once the bill is cleared.
The technology is here to stay. The shift to meaningful tokens may only be for the better.

St George's HallSt George's Hall
Naeem Mohaiemen, Two Meetings and a Funeral, 2017. Installation view at St George's Hall, Liverpool Biennial 2018. Photo: Thierry Bal
The Grade I listed St George's Hall is regarded as one of the finest Neoclassical buildings in the world and dates back to 1854. Making their way through underground spaces, visitors encounter several artists' work presented within the building's original prison cells and courtroom.
A reflective, gold-plated work by Chou Yu-Cheng interrogates the act of protest, showing indentations made by the public when it was first presented.
Joyce Wieland's Sailboat (1967) is a short film that depicts yachts moving across the water intercut with the exaggerated sound of roaring waves and the word 'sailboat'. The parade of endless similar looking boats, as well as the horizontal division of the picture frame by the water, gives the film an innocent child-like quality, like a simple painting. The distant passing sailboats hint at themes of desire, loss and yearning for an ideal of perfection that is always just out of reach.
Reenactment of Heaven, Inci Eviner's newly commissioned film, reflects on ideas of heaven, religion and authority. Eviner specifically addresses the place of women in heaven, rejecting the role consigned to women in societies dominated by the male gaze. She also explores the rhetoric connected to religion and powerful authorities. For her film, Eviner collaborated with a female singer and performer, presenting women as self-determined and active. Based on drawings and a multi-layered choreography, the film blurs the borders between reality and fiction, using masks, stage design and symbolic props.
Tracing the struggles and turbulent histories of the Chechen people, Aslan Gaisumov's most recent work Keicheyuhea (2017) follows the artist's grandmother as she returns to her lost homeland in the mountainous scenery of the North Caucasus for the first time since the displacement of her family 73 years earlier.
Lamia Joreige's three-channel video installation After the River (2016) is part of a project dedicated to the exploration of the river Nahr in Beirut. Unfolding past and present stories associated with the river, Joreige draws a social portrait of a landmark with varying roles in the rapidly changing city. Her video discusses gentrification, waste and current problems in the neighbourhood of the river, whilst touching upon the impact of the multicultural population and redevelopment plans for the area. Through the example of the river, Joreige also reflects on the changing definition of landscape and the notion of border.
Modest Livelihood by Brian Jungen and Duane Linklater was filmed during two hunting trips in Dane-zaa Territory in Northern British Columbia in 2011. The film follows the artists and Jungen's uncle as they move through the landscape. For Jungen, of Dane-zaa and European ancestry, and Linklater, who is Omaskêko Cree, the ritual of the hunt is a customary practice of ancestral tradition central to their First Nations identity, and is inextricable from the century-old treaty rights of First Nations, which the title of the film references.
Screened in the courtroom at St George's Hall is Two Meetings and a Funeral (2017), a three-channel film by Naeem Mohaiemen. The work revisits the Cold War-era power struggles between the political coalitions of the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC). The project navigates alliances of convenience made during Bangladesh's fight for UN recognition, as well as parallel decolonisation struggles in Palestine-Israel, the Portuguese colonies and South Africa.
St George's Hall is regarded as one of the finest Neoclassical buildings in the world. The Grade I listed building contains concert halls and law courts and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England. Having first opened in 1854, today St George's Hall is a focal point for cultural, community, civic, corporate and performing arts activities.

Stonewall awards, Gok Wan and me……..
Posted on 6th Nov 2009 by Lynne Featherstone
Well – as predicted – I failed to win Politician of the Year at the Stonewall Awards last night. Ben Bradshaw (Labour Minister) won the accolade as the first openly gay Minister. I think, judging from the blurb in the program – that I was nominated because of my work both on the Equality Bill and my campaign to end the blanket ban on gay men giving blood donations. (It should be about behaviour – not discriminating against one group. A monogomous gay man is a lot safer than a rampant heterosexual).
Anyway – I don't do many of these glittery evenings – but I have to say Stonewall threw a good party (sponsored by Barclays). You would not have known that there was a recession outside of the V & A. In the most beautiful of surroundings the champagne flowed, the stars were out in force and the canapes and the bowl food was of the highest order.
The awards themselves were hosted by Gok Wan, fashion guru, who I adore actually. And they were the point of the evening and both nominees and winners are people who have genuinely moved the agenda forward, been brave, stood up and contributed to the improvement in all walks of life for the gay community.
And – of course – for those who don't know – I have been on 'How to Look Good Naked' a couple of times – thankfully (for all watching) with my clothes on – as I am joint campaigning with them to give girls 'body confidence' a fight back against the pressure of stick thin images and the loss of self confidence and self hate that is a consequence.

How to look good naked
Posted on 8th Oct 2009 by Lynne Featherstone
I have joined forces with Gok Wan and How to Look Good Naked. They contacted me before the summer recess to see if I would help with their campaign to give young people 'body confidence'. Obviously this fitted in brilliantly with our Liberal Democrat campaign for Real Women.
We Liberal Democrats are campaigning for advertisers to have to label adverts to let readers know if and how much the photography in it has been retouched. With rocketing numbers of ever younger girls with eating disorders – we have said enough is enough. We are also campaigning for the lessons in school to contain issues like body confidence – so it obviously fitted in perfectly with what the campaigning program 'How to look good naked' is also doing to make women feel happy in their own skin. They have a young champion, Shona, who has a six minute slot in each program in which she takes her campaign forward particulary targeted on young women and their body image.
When I originally went into my office and one of my staff said that How to Look Good Naked had phoned – I was a bit concerned as to whether I would have to bare all for the campaign. Luckily for both you and me – this wasn't necessary! According to the program – they approached all three parties but only the Liberal Democrats responded positively.
So – whilst I have explained to the program that campaigning and Parliamentary procedures are long-winded and demand perseverance that doesn't fit neatly with the demands of TV – we are going to be pursuing the issue through both the program and through Parliamentary means too.
In terms of the program I have advised them to start with a No. 10 petition (as they need to garner support across the poltical spectrum and more importantly have a mandate from the people) and to encourage through the very popular program enough people to write to their own local MP – lobbying them to get involved and support the campaign.
Thank goodness I didn't have to remove a stitch!
You can (for the moment) still catch the program online. I'm just over 30 minutes in.

111 Piccadilly, formerly Rodwell Tower, is a high-rise office building in Manchester city centre, England. It opened in 1965 and is now owned by Bruntwood. The tower is  tall, which makes it the joint 74th-tallest building in Greater Manchester as of 2023.

The building is located at the corner of Ducie Street (near Station Approach which leads to Manchester's main railway station, Manchester Piccadilly). It is the last building in Piccadilly which continues here as London Road.

History
The architects of the tower were Douglas Stephen & Partners who had to solve the constructional problem of building a high building over the Rochdale Canal. Its external appearance is enhanced by the eight enormous columns which carry the building above the canal; however the rendered finish did not look so good after a few years of rain.

Refurbishment
In 2020, the developer Bruntwood completed a refurbishment programme on 111 Piccadilly, including a  high photovoltaic lighting installation on three sides of the building. Other technology in the building includes sensors monitoring air quality, space utilisation and energy usage.

This year, Costa Rica fishing out of the Los Suenos Marina for both October and November has been absolutely incredible. We have had extremely high numbers of Mahi-mahi (Dorado), and these acrobatic fighters have been consistently weighing in at 20-50 pounds all green season. While trolling the coast line we have come across schools as large as several hundred of these delicious fish hiding behind floating wood and other flotsam. On average, we've hauled in between 2 and 4 each day.
We are excited for the big game Sailfish peak season to begin in January, and carry on straight through April. We expect the numbers this year to be consistently high, and predict between 20-30 bites as the season picks up. These championship fish are already biting on average between 5-10 times per day, so this peak season promises to be a great one for the anglers.
While Mahi Mahi and Sailfish have been strong and are just getting stronger, the real stars of the Costa Rica fishing have been our fantastic numbers of Marlin. Throughout November and December, Striped and Blue Marlin have been making their presence known. We have been averaging a Marlin per trip - sometimes even pulling in 2 on one trip! The large populations of Bonita and Yellow Fins have provided us with an excellent source of live bait, but getting these fish past the ample supply of hungry Mahi-mahi has proved challenging.
Yellow fin tuna peak season is typically between May - October, but there have been a few stragglers around during the past few weeks. We've had some luck finding them near pods of spotted dolphins and flocks of birds offshore. Right out of the gate last week we pulled in one weighing over 90 pounds.
Inshore, Rooster Fish have been harder to find throughout November. We expect improved numbers by late December and predict an excellent showing through January until October. Making up for the lack of Roosters have been great numbers of small Yellow fin Tuna, medium-sized Wahoo, Amberjacks, Jacks and Snappers.
Come join in the chase. Contact one of our agents to book your full day in shore or off shores Costa Rica fishing Charter today!

There will be music, art, dancing, food, chats, balloons and fun. This is a nondescript party, celebrating no-anniversaries, nor milestones – the goal of this event is to have a whole lot of fun with our wonderful community and make a little bit of money towards FCG's operations. To keep things exciting the location of this party will be disclosed closer to the event – this party isn't being held at FCG. We will have more information for conference attendees in the coming weeks. You can also visit the event's Facebook Page to stay updated.

#WildCardWednesday: Julie Bergan – 'Kiss Somebody' (with Seeb)
13/01/2021 10/01/2021 Matt Wright - Muzik SpeaksLeave a comment
Julie Bergan rose to recognition by releasing a series of covers on YouTube, at the age of 16, eventually signing a deal with Warner Music Norway in 2013.
This particular song ('Kiss Somebody') was actually released a year ago, in January 2020 and saw Bergan team up with Norwegian production duo, Seeb.
The song itself uses vocal distortions to make part of the backing beat (with the lyrics, "Make out with her, Make out with him") alongside other traditional EDM-style components. It's a banging anthem that begs to be danced to.
The video is fun too and features various couples kissing (including a gay couple), interspersed with shots of Bergan performing with a group of back-up dancers as well as by herself.
This synthpop meets EDM banger is the perfect track for #WildCardWednesday, as Bergan has yet to break into the UK market but I'm sure it won't be long before she becomes more of a household name over here, if this track is anything to go by.

#WildCardWednesday: Chiefs of Eden – 'Feed'
13/05/2020 13/05/2020 Rob ManhireLeave a comment
Over the last year or so I've had many conversations with friends and fellow musicians over a worrying lack of younger audiences and bands coming through our local scenes. It's not non-existent but compared to what I remember growing up, there just isn't the same feel for shows. Friday nights were solely a time of going to see your friend's band from school supporting older artists at what ever local space could be hired out for cheap, and if it had a bar, it was a bonus. Sure, some of the bands were crap, but it didn't matter because occasionally there were some gems that went on to do some great things.
This brings me on to my wild card for this Wednesday, Chiefs of Eden. They are a young metal band from Kent, UK, that I have been following for a while mostly through proxy of a colleague at work. For some reason they just caught my attention and reminded me of times past where we would give the time of day (or night) to young local bands striving just to be heard.
Anyway before I take myself down a very long and old nostalgic road (lockdown's got me doing that a lot lately!), lets talk about 'Feed'. This is the debut release for Chiefs of Eden and is the work of a reformation of the band after a break of a year to try and hone their sound. They claim influences from a lot of mid-2000s metallers such as Trivium, Gorjira and Lamb of God. Those influences really shine through the track. It follow that great sequence of trudging verses leading into the sweet relief of melodic metal chorus. The chorus itself is the highlight of the track, a good hook which gets lodged in your brain. The verses are a real mix of nu metal riffing similar to old 36 Crazyfists and the dirtiest vocals of death metal. Perhaps it's too dirty, perhaps I'm too innocent? I've never been a fan of the heavily tracked, multi-tone screams, but the right audience will appreciate it.
I would say that the track lacks ambition in its structure. It's calling out for a raging guitar solo or something to lift it out of the breakdown before the final chorus. Without it, it feels like it falls a little flat towards the end and you can loose your interest.
For a first release, for a young band, it's good. There is clearly talent here and as they continue to write together and draw on more influences the small issues will iron themselves out. It's worth your time just to realise that there are very young bands out there with embers of something worthwhile.
'Feed' is out now on all major streaming platforms.

#WildCardWednesday: Firing All Cylinders – 'What Is Love' (Haddaway Cover)
I am a huge sucker for 90s dance classics, so when I saw that Firing All Cylinders had done a metal version of 'What Is Love' by Haddaway, I was all ears. The Californian metallers toyed with the idea that initially started as a joke but we are happy they went with it!
If you don't know the song by title, you will certainly know it by its opening synth hook. 'What Is Love' charted across the world in 1993, but by no means set it on fire, however, it has become a cult classic along 90s music fans. Firing All Cylinders have kept the essence of the track by keeping that oh so recognisable synth motif almost exactly as it sounds on the original, but have brought their own metal chug and groove underneath.
Personally I love it, but I know it will divide a lot of people. It's not the first time we've seen metal bands do this to beloved pop songs, and I'm sure it won't be the last. 90s dance just seems to lend itself well to this kind of thing. However unlike others, I feel the band have not strayed too far away from the original that it is not recognisable. There are no heavy breakdowns, no guttural screams just a homage to a classic.
The video really stretches the idea of what love is. The original video had a slight dark feel to it (for the 90s anyway), but Firing All Cylinders have taken it about 1,000 steps further. It's dark, it's ritualistic and involves sacrifice and is probably more what fans of the band would expect.
We aren't too fussed by the video, but the track is definitely worth a listen for all you 90s dance cross metal fans out there!

#WildCardWednesday: The Pussycat Dolls – 'React'
The Pussycat Dolls are back, making a return with their sassy new single, 'React'.
Having taken a 9 year break, the girl group are back (minus Melody Thornton) announcing a new world tour and album in the pipeline. The quintet (made up of Nicole Scherzinger, Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Jessica Sutta and Kimberly Wyatt) made a triumphant return on the UK's X Factor: Celebrity, performing a string of their hits before leading into their brand new song, 'React'. The group's performance attracted over 400 complaints to ITV due to their raunchy outfits and sexual dance moves – well done girls! Keep up the good work.
The song talks about a relationship where the one person is trying to get a reaction out of the other and topped by a catchy chorus and sexy rhythm.
The video is just as you'd expect, packed with sexy outfits and sexual dance moves, featuring the group performing in scenes of both fire and water, making for a great viewing – it's not the most interesting video in terms of concept but they sure know what their audience wants to see!
Turn it up loud and check out the girls' return to form! I can't wait for the album.

#WildCardWednesday: Misha B – 'Letter To My Sistars'
Misha B is finally back with her latest single, 'Letter To My Sistars', and I couldn't be happier to see her return!
The latest song from the ex-X Factor artist has a definitive, old-school R&B / Hip Hop vibe with an understated beatbox intro, vinyl-tinted beats and clean guitar melodies throughout, topped off with some wonderfully raw and effortless vocal harmonies.
'Letter To My Sistars' is a strong departure from her post-X Factor days yet still remains polished and true to herself. It's a female empowerment track about looking out for each other (Don't mess – "If you put a finger on my sister, guaranteed your head pop, pop, pop just like blister"); an urban anthem at its best.
The video for the track is fun too – seeing Misha B performing alongside strong female characters in and around the urban environment but also has narrative segments depicting Misha as a child, with one of her "sistars", as referenced in the track. Go check it out, below.
I'm super excited for this return and hope that maybe this will signal an upcoming debut album?! We can only hope!

#WildCardWednesday: Siamese – 'B.A.N.A.N.A.S'
Siamese are an award-winning, Danish, Pop-Metal band and following their previous album, Shameless, gained more than 8 million streams, catapulting them to recognition outside of Denmark, and enabling them to play sold out shows in Japan, UK and Germany.
Singer, Mirza Radonjica-Bang, said, "B.A.N.A.N.A.S, the album opener was actually written for the Shameless album. At least the starting riff was. But ultimately we were never satisfied with anything but the riff. We left it alone for two years before absolutely nailing it. One of my favourite tracks on the album for sure."
This track showcases just how epic this band are – huge synth use, grungy guitars and metal drum patterns, all topped off with the wonderful sample of Gwen Stefani's 'Hollaback Girl' make this truly stand out! It's a real genre-bending song that will appeal to people of all tastes from pop to metal.
Their next release, Super Human (out Friday 24th May), continues to showcase their trademark big choruses and well-written instrumental compositions; what's more, it's all self-produced!
Watch out for this band as they continue to go from strength to strength!

#WildCardWednesday: Jasmine Thompson – 'Loyal'
Jasmine Thompson is a London-based singer-songwriter, born to an English father and Chinese mother and says that, "Having one immigrant parent always provides a unique perspective growing up, a sense of one foot in two different worlds." Maybe that is part of what makes her sound and voice so utterly captivating…or maybe it's just her undeniable, raw talent.
At just 18 years old, it's remarkable just how talented she really is, with a voice that sounds soulful beyond her years. And, whilst she might be a new artist to many, she already has a massive following, which was kicked off by her acoustic cover of Chaka Khan's 'Ain't Nobody', that was then remixed and re-released by Felix Jaehn in 2015. From there, she has posted and released countless covers and a string of original songs too.
Now, following the ending of a recent relationship, comes her latest single, 'Loyal', on which she reunited with songwriter and producer, Eg White. The song actually began life a year prior to the relationship ending, but was written about the trust issues from within it, so this song is bound to resonate with many people. Especially, as despite the way it ended, she still sings, "I will always be loyal babe," about the person she met at the beginning.
Throughout the track, her voice is ageless, wise and achingly lonely in tone, conveying the emotion to perfection. It's a progressive track with some crackling, slow jazz-tinted brass from the beginning, sitting on top of a modern beat, before breaking down to a piano-led interlude in the middle, and then breaking out with some epic string sections, to bring the song to a dramatic close. This is an epic tale, told in just under 4 minutes – a true musical masterpiece!
The music video is great too – there's a very rustic feel to it with it's interpretive dance elements inside a quirky, captivating timber-frame location, all shot with a home-video style, giving it a very organic feel.
She is definitely going to be one to watch in 2019!
Jasmine's EP, Colour, will be out 29th March, on Atlantic Records.

#WildCardWednesday: Mark Ronson – 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' featuring Miley Cyrus
Mark Ronson is certainly a household name already and having released several collaborative hit tracks this year, the five-time Grammy Award-winning artist and producer now returns with a brand new single of his own, 'Nothing Breaks Like A Heart' featuring the incredible Miley Cyrus.
The track was co-written by both Ronson and Cyrus, alongside Ilsey Juber, Thomas Brenneck, The Picard Brothers and Conor Rayne Syzmanski, and produced by Ronson, The Picard Brothers and Jamie XX.
The track serves as the first single to be taken from Mark Ronson's forthcoming studio album, coming in 2019. It's also his first pop single as a recording artist since the musical phenomenon that was 'Uptown Funk'! However he's been busy since then, co-writing the Number 1 song, 'Shallow' performed by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper, featured in Cooper's directorial debut, A Star Is Born, as well as being a member of supergroup, Silk City (with Diplo), releasing the Top 5 UK Chart hit, 'Electricity' featuring Dua Lipa.
The track is already making waves around the world, with video trending highly on YouTube. The high-energy video was filmed in Kiev, Ukraine, directed by WAFLA (We Are From LA) and executive-produced by Romain Gravas (M.I.A, Jay-Z, Kanye West, Jamie XX). It features Miley Cyrus being pursued by police with a tongue-in-cheek approach to the reasons behind it. It's clearly a big-budget affair and really well shot – definitely worth a watch!

#WildCardWednesday: Broken Hands – 'Split In Two'
Last week (18th October 2018), Canterbury rockers, Broken Hands, announced that they had signed to Atlantic Records by releasing a pair of brand new singles, 'Split In Two' and 'Friends House'; their first new music since the release of the 2015 full-length debut, Turbulence.
The five-piece band, which consists of Dale Norton (vocals), his brother, Callum Norton (drums), Jamie Darby (lead guitar), Thomas Ford (bass) and David Hardstone (rhythm guitar & keys), have been busy working with Tom Dalgety (notable for mixing a lot of Royal Blood's work) on these two tracks – his style is particularly reflected on 'Split In Two', which has an amalgamation of both psychedelic and grunge vibes.
The band's style is further reinforced by the fact they have played shows with the likes of Rolling Stones, Black Sabbath, Blur and Deaf Havana.
The music video for 'Split In Two' sees the band performing amongst a glowing green light with a Matrix-style code backdrop.
No details about their forthcoming album have emerged, as yet, but we'll keep you updated.

#WildCardWednesday: The RPMs – 'Let Things Happen'
The RPMs are one of Brighton's home-grown bands, consisting of Jack Valero (Guitar/Lead Vocals), Miguel Cosme (Bass Guitar/Backing Vocals), Callum James (Drums), Ollie Summers (Lead Guitar) and Chris Bowden (Keyboards).
The band are going from strength to strength, with rave reviews across the BBC, including BBC Introducing's Huw Stephens.
Having added a couple more members and created a bigger sound, the band are back with new single, 'Let Things Happen' – a beachy pop anthem that has some deeply-rooted indie and 60s vibes to it. It's a really interesting and strong track from the quintet.
The music video is simplistic but effective and suits the song well. It's dreamy with snappy cuts and featuring some strobe effects. Watch it below!

Q: How can I fix import/no-default-export without switching to Typescript? I'm trying to put all my selectors in an external JS file and then import them in to my page object when I need them e.g. :
Home-page-selectors.js:
    export default {
      headerLinks: 'header a',
      contactUsLink: "header a[href='/contact-us']",
    }

Home-page.js includes import selectors from '../test-data/home-page-data.js' I can then do things like cy.get(selectors.headerLinks)
The problem is when I run my lint tasks I get an error from Home-page-selectors.js saying

error  Prefer named exports  import/no-default-export

How can I fix this error? I know multiple ways I can do it in TypeScript but unfortunately switching to TS isn't an option due to a number of plugins we use not being compatible.

The reputation of barley as a "smother crop" has been attributed to competition for environmental resources such as water and plant nutrients. However, in the absence of competition barley can still inhibit germination and growth of important weeds. This activity has been equated with the release of two alkaloids, gramine and hordenine (1). Although identified the alkaloids have not, to date, been quantified. Production of phytotoxic chemicals by crop plant accessions and cultivars varies, for example, in oats (2); such variation might provide the basis for a new selection criterion.
Barley (cv. Triumph) was grown on moist filter papers under controlled conditions for up to 6 days. Seedlings were harvested each day, the filter paper washed with distilled water and washings collected for GC-MS analysis (3). A series of hordenine and gramine standards was also prepared and analysed.
To verify the toxicity of the alkaloids, barley seedlings were germinated under controlled conditions and white mustard seeds added simultaneously (Day 0) and at Days 2, 4 and 6 after sowing barley. Mustard seedlings were germinated for 36h before measuring radicle length.
Gramine and hordenine were released by germinating seedlings of barley at least until Day 6 (Table 1), peak production occurring on Days 4 and 5.
Table 1. Concentrations (ppm) of alkaloids released by germinating barley.
Mustard seedlings sustained the greatest damage in the presence of barley at Day 4 (Table 2), corresponding to maximum alkaloid release.
Table 2. Radicle length (mm) of white mustard seedlings germinated with and without barley.
The capacity of plants to defend themselves, chemically, against competition by weeds and other organisms, is attracting current interest (4). The chemicals may be genetically manipulable, offering the potential to enhance them in cultivars and to gain a self defence advantage.

Here are some Mac Apps that I found using more and more often.
Although I'm still keeping a text-based workflow, where I spend most of the days using Emacs and a terminal, I recently installed or reinstalled some nice Apps when I got my new Macbook Pro in July. These are mostly small packages that do one thing well and allows text-based approaches for many of them, as in Unix philosophy.
clarify: I prepared a very basic tutorial on RStudio with it (this is still work in progress at the time of this writing), shortly after I came across this software on Brett Perpstra's weblog. Basically, it is a way to organize and annotate screenshots using a simple UI.
Wizard: I reviewed this statistical package some time ago, and although I felt like it has a good design it wouldn't of much help for my daily work. I was wrong since I now purchased the latest version on the App Store and used it extensively in parallel with R or Stata to process and clean messy databases. I really recommend this software to perform basic exploratory data analysis or to assess data quality. It is pretty fast to display univariate distribution, apply filters and build pivot Tables. It supports many data formats, including proprietary ones like MS Excel/Apple Numers, SPSS, Stata, or SAS (see this repository on GitHub). Although it is just a point-and-click software, it is definitively worth a try (and if you have R or StatTransfer, no need to buy the Pro version).
Deckset: I already talked about this new App, and I found myself using it two times to prepare some slideshow in recent monthss. The latest version features MathJax equations, custom footer, and footnotes. The themes are gorgeous, of course, but what is really worth a feature is the possibility to use it as a 'slide sorter' while writing in your favorite text editor (this is its best definition, IMHO). But see my recent review.

The World Economic Forum released it's Future of Jobs report. As expected, the business model disruption across technology, societal, and economic forces have created urgency to understand the jobs and skills required for the next decade. The survey and research design relied on interviews with global CHROs and other senior talent and strategy executives that impacted over 13,549,000 employees.

The confluence of new technologies, demographics, and socioeconomic shifts have created an impact in how jobs will be created and what skill sets will be required. Success in the future of jobs may require a new perspective on how growth should be calculated. What if growth was measured by per capita? The result would show the benefits of a decreasing population abetted by automation, robotics, and AI with a better quality of life.
Where do you see the future of jobs? Should we aim for decreasing populations to improve quality per capita? What are your questions from the report?

Famed mom blogger Heather Armstrong — better known as Dooce — wrote about the reasons behind the dwindling coverage of her older daughter on her blog. She mentioned that her daughter had been squeamish lately about getting her photo taken, and also wrote that she now asks for her daughter's permission before mentioning her on the blog.
It brings to mind questions that have been swirling around the blogosphere for a while now: Do parenting bloggers compromise their chidren's safety by revealing so much online? Is this type of blogging exploitative? How much is too much, and where should we draw the line? Susannah Breslin muses over at The Frisky, "… it makes one wonder if what Leta [Armstrong's daughter] is having a hard time with is the fact that her mother made her life public — without her permission."
I've focused on the personal essay for almost 10 years now.
When I began writing adult content about eight years ago, I became comfortable revealing more than just my emotions.
I found that opening up about the most intimate parts of myself was conducive to healing… not only for myself, but for others who read my pieces and realized they were not alone. Suddenly, they felt comfortable engaging in a dialogue around a subject they had kept quiet about for years. That openness and honesty is now the most important aspect of my writing.
Six years ago, I met the man I would eventually marry. I wasn't doing much at the time, aside from receiving unemployment checks and writing nightlife reviews for Shecky's. The early bits of our relationship consisted of going out to the bars, restaurants and clubs I was writing about. As I began bringing in more sex-related assignments, Michael seemed open to being involved. I dragged him along to cuddle parties, sex parties and porn parties.
We tried out a plethora of sex toys, lube and condoms, after which I wrote up the details of our experiences for a number of publications. We even appeared in Women's Health as a favor to another sex writer I knew, revealing the details of our sex problems and posing for the mag with toys and a tickler.
One of Michael's co-workers at the time happened upon the piece and, by the end of the day, it had been passed around his entire office, with much teasing and fanfare. Poor guy. But, to his credit, he didn't withdraw from my writing.
These days, I still allude to my sex life in my bi-weekly sex column, and I'm constantly drawing upon my life with Michael when I create content for YourTango. I'm so lucky to be married to someone who doesn't mind having a starring role in my work.
But we're trying to have kids, a move that will change our lives drastically. I'm wildly excited about this. We both are. I've always wanted to be a mom — one much like my own mom. But how do I figure out what to reveal — and what not to reveal — when it comes to writing about this new experience? How much can I exclude when it comes to something that will undoubtedly change my life?
I turned to several parenting bloggers to get their opinions on where to draw the line.
Heather Sobieralski of My Mama Mojo has this to say about her openness when she writes:
"I started to blog as a complement to my life coaching website. I figured there were so many dang life coaches out there how would one choose? For me, I feel like I need to know someone… before trusting them. In the world of motherhood this is particularly important as so many of us go around with our 'sunshine and roses' masks and are really unhappy with our day-to-day lives. My writing is an attempt to strip off those masks [and serve] as an invitation to get real. I am not perfect. I do not know it all. I am on a journey just like every other mom."
Danny Evans of Dad Gone Mad mentions a similar appreciation of honesty in writing:
"I think my toilet-paper-thin boundaries were a hallmark of my early days as a blogger. Although I never used my kids' names online, virtually everything else was fair game. I blogged about my vasectomy, about childbirth, about the contents of my children's diapers, about my virulent hatred for Barney, and ultimately about my own experience with clinical depression. I use my writing to explore what happens in my own head, and I think my readers value that honesty."
When I asked for his thoughts on whether or not bloggers should get permission for the things they write about their children online, Evans said:
"Given the fact that I'm their guardian — their father — the issue of consent falls to me (and my wife, obviously). I don't post pictures of my kids online because that's just a safety issue, and I've seen good friends get burned. And I don't use their names, as I said. But I think some of the stories I tell about them are universal, particularly when it comes to cute or unusual things they've done growing up."
I agree with Evans and Sobieralski, for the most part. Honesty in writing is key, and so much about parenting is universal.
But as I remember my own childhood — as a girl who was easily embarrassed by her parents without the aid of the Internet — I get the feeling that I'll end up censoring myself anyway. My husband was always a willing participant. But my children won't know any better, at least at the beginning. And this makes me squeamish.
Perhaps this is another parenting decision we'll have to make together.
