Lauren Ritchie: Take a deep breath, do something for the less fortunate and let the holidays flow
By Lauren RitchieOrlando Sentinel
Has the Christmas spirit lost its sparkle?
Here at the Ritchie Resort and Sunshine Sanitarium, we have stopped waiting on the sparkle. We're more into plan-ahead techniques to ward off exhaustion in a week where there is one day only to create and clean up a feast.
Still, the administrator at the sanitarium and her four-legged snapper-up of all goodies dropped to the floor, Lola, have come to a sort of truce with Christmas.
Years ago, this column featured a story about making gullets, the Christmas cookie of choice from the Belgian side of the family. My mother used to make untold dozens of them on a small iron that opens like a book to the size of a man's hands. The mountain of gullets grew and the addicting smell of vanilla and hot brown sugar drifted through the house.
Oh, they are wonderful things, gullets. They are a scrumptious combination of everything bad for you — a whole pound of butter, two pounds of brown sugar, a half dozen brown eggs and flour. The key ingredients are vanilla and whiskey.
You roll the dough into cigar-shaped pieces the size of your little finger and put them, two at a time, into the sizzling gullet iron and top it with a brick or, in my case, a three-pound sledge hammer, to squish the cookies into the tiny checkerboard pattern. There, they brown atop the stove on one side for about 40 seconds before you flip the iron to the other side.
This iron is not electric, so the baker has to keep the whole thing going at a consistent pace for the five or six hours it takes to make a full batch. Failure to keep turning the iron regularly results in one side getting hotter than the other, and then you have a burned side and a raw dough side.
Before my mother died 26 years ago, my sole job was to eat those rascals by the stacks. After her death, her gullet iron and recipe came to me, and there began the trouble. For five years, I couldn't get them right. Which kind do you want, I'd ask family members. The kind that doesn't taste like hers or the mutilated ones that stuck to the iron?
The first year, I just stood there and sobbed. We control freaks want everything to be perfect — I'd wanted Christmas to be just like when Mum was here. At the age of 35, you'd think I'd have known better: Nothing would be the same again. Deep down, I guess I knew it, and that was the real reason for the blubbering.
This year, for the first time in a decade or so, the gullets again developed a mind of their own. Close to a third of the cookies stuck in the little cast iron squares, and I got to dig them out with the point of a knife.
Frustration was building when I reminded myself that this is a First World problem. I thought back to Christmases at my grandparents' farmhouse as a child and realized that every memory has to do with being together, with unexpected visitors at the kitchen door bringing cheer, with Pappy hitching up an unsuspecting pony to the sleigh — and yes, we actually had an antique buggy that converted to a sleigh in winter. It was all a bit Norman Rockwell. No thoughts of cookies or expensive gifts intruded, only being with family and carrying food to others.
So, I went back to the gullets, drifting from memory to memory. Suddenly, gullets didn't loom so large. My 95-year-old aunt texted her thoughts on gullets from Pennsylvania, "Never did like making those things." She offered to cuss them long-distance for 15 or 20 minutes. I laughed. She'd do it, too.
Gullets are a great tradition, but tapping into what really matters and letting go of the rest is the real key for the holidaymaker of the family.
So, hang in there folks. Take a deep breath. Rest yourself. Do something for the less fortunate. Let the holiday flow.

The Breathing Process/Odyssey(Un)Dead/Siege Of Amida/Candlelight Records/2010 CD Review
The Breathing Process are a band from the U.S with members from Connecticut and Massachusetts that mix symphonic black metal with blackened death metal and this is a review of their 2010 album "Odyssey(Un)Dead which was released as a joint effort between Siege Of Amida and Candlelight Records.
Drums range from being slow, mid paced and technical with a lot of fast playing and brutal blast beats being used, while the keyboards are very atmospheric and symphonic with some industrial elements, as for the bass playing it has a dark tone that follows the riffs that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are a mixture of black metal and death metal riffing with a good mix of slow and fast riffs that contain a lot of melody, while the lead guitars are very technical and melodic guitar solos that utilize a lot of skill.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and deep death metal growls with some clean singing male and female vocals being thrown in at times, while the lyrics cover exile with a darkened touch, as for the production it is very professional sounding with all of the instruments having a good sound.
In my opinion The Breathing Process are a very good band and while some elements of their music might be to commercial sounding for my ears at times, this is still a talented band, fans of symphonic black metal and blackened death metal should enjoy this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Grimoire" "Vultures" and "Decaying(Form)". RECOMMENDED BUY.
Sarah Jezebel Deva/A Sign Of Sublime/Candellight Records/2010 CD Review
Sarah Jezebel Deva is a well known singer in the Symphonic Metal genres and this is a review of her solo album "A Sign Of Sublime" which was released by Candlelight Records during the year of 2010.
Drums are mostly mid paced beats with little to no fast playing or blast beats, while the keyboards are very symphonic and atmospheric sounding, as for the bass playing it has a dark tone with riffs that follow the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are mostly mid paced riffs that sound very basic but having influences from mainstream black metal and symphonic/gothic metal, while the lead guitars are very melodic sounding guitar solos that have a tragic feel to them.
Vocals are mostly clean singing female vocals that are very operatic with some black metal screams being used on occasion mixed in with some clean singing male opera choirs, while the lyrics cover depression with a very dark edge, as for the production it sounds very professional and you can hear all of the instruments that are present on this album.
In my opinion this is a good album from Sarah Jezebel Deva, at first I thought I probably would not like this album due to the singer's involvement in the corporate metal scene but this is a quality dark sounding album in it's own way and it is well done for what it is. RECOMMENDED TRACKS "A Sign Of Sublime" "The Devil's Opera" and "Daddy's Not Coming Home". RECOMMENDED BUY.
Chaossworn Interview
1. Can you tell us a little bit about the band for those that have never heard of you before?
ANTON: Chaossworn is a melodic death/black metal band from Haparanda, northern Sweden. We've been active since the fall of 2004, under the moniker Cryptic Death. The name was changed to Chaossworn in late 2009. We have just released our first MCD called 'Chalice of Black Flames' through Abyss Records.
ANDREAS: Me and Janne played together in various bands/projects back in the 90s, so in a sense Chaossworn dips its rotten roots further back in the dark past!
JANNE: Yup; we've been brooding and slithering in the local underground for the last 15 years, but not until now has our message and force become strong enough to be unleashed upon the larger masses. Years and years of honing our skills in the dark are starting to pay off. Now if only we could get David Hasselhoff interested...
ANDREAS: Death metal foundation, black metal ambience, heavy metal catchiness. Black/death metal; people should know what it means these days. Heavy emphasis on lead guitar work and harmonies to act counterpoint to non-melodic vocals. Absolutely no happy riffs.
3. What is the meaning behind the band's name?
JANNE: It should be quite clear. We are sworn to Chaos, as opposed to Law. Chaos represents boundless creativity and infinite possibilities, which the strong-willed may utilize to his or her needs or wants. Law stands for conformity and slavery of the mind; it is for the weak who can not, or will not, stray away from the safe path of herd mentality that slowly but surely grinds and forces everyone into the same mold. And as one of the main principles of the band, if not the only one, is to do what the fuck we want - well, I just think that we've found ourselves the perfect name.
4. How would you describe the lyrical content of the music?
ANDREAS: Depends on the song really, since they deal with various subjects, or aspects of those subjects.. It ain't about no urban themes. No matter what the lyrics are about, they're an integral part of the music, and given as much attention in the writing process as the riffs themselves. Phrasings, meter, all that shit, given utmost attention. We're not dishing out tripe.
5. Have you had the opportunity to do any live shows yet, if so what are some of the best shows that the band has played so far?
ANTON: We have been playing live since the start as Cryptic Death. I would say our best show was at Nordic Rage festival in Boden 2008, w/ The Haunted, Carnal Forge, etc..
ANDREAS: The gig we did back in January this year, in Lulea, was pretty intense. Parts of which can be seen on Youtube. Still, Nordic Rage Fest was definitely the biggest in terms of crowd and exposure.
NIKLAS: The black/death metal scene in northern Sweden is not the greatest, but we played a show in Boden on a metal festival called Nordic Rage, which was for me the greatest show!
6. Do you have any touring plans for the future?
ANDREAS: South America; The water gives you the runs, crowd is batshit insane, nobody speaks English. Pandemonium. I heard Poland is pretty kickass too.
JANNE: I think it'd be cool to tour in Kyrgyzstan, or Mongolia. Man, those guys would be astonished to have us banging and snarling at their local yard/palace/mountaintop/whatever. And probably kill us too. Or die trying.
7. What do you want to accomplish with your music?
ANDREAS: I want the music to become as kult as the shit I listen to myself.
JANNE: To me, creating music is first and foremost a tool for self-expression, without which I could not live. Sowing the seeds of the mind, nourishing them with skill and craftsmanship, watching and hearing them grow and blossom in the dark orchards of the spirit of arts, tasting the bittersweet juices from their ripe flesh...thus inspiring the circle to start anew. It is a beautiful thing, creation, and we hold it in our hands. Hopefully our music can also inspire others, as many have inspired us before, and still do. The cycle is most exquisite, and should be kept spinning.
8. What direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
ANDREAS: We got our sound down just right. What we will do in the future is to produce even fiercer riffs, better hooks, better lyrics and wrap it up time and time again. The material evolved from the last two demos to the MCD growing increasingly darker and unfriendly, and that'll likely continue. Without ambition there's no point in doing anything, and I got plenty ambition. We're destined to outdo ourselves time and time again. Don't expect any genre leaps a la Dodheimsgard.
9. How has the feedback been to your music so far by melodic black.death metal fans worldwide?
ANDREAS: We wouldn't release it if it wasn't up to snuff. Reviewers agree!
NIKLAS: Mixed. People in Sweden have been more critical than the rest of the world. Dunno why is that.
10. What are some bands or musical styles that have influenced your music and what are you listening to nowadays?
ANTON: Bloodbath, Desultory and Necrophobic, and of course bands from other genres.
ANDREAS: Been listening to Tiamat "Clouds" a lot lately. I got a few tapes in the car getting regular windings: Bathory "Blood Fire Death", Darkthrone "Under a Funeral Moon", ZZ Top "Eliminator" etc.
NIKLAS: Old school death metal bands like Desultory and Morbid Angel.
JANNE: All music influences me all the time. The atmosphere of Limbonic Art and Emperor; the creativity of Faith No More and Meshuggah; the vibe of Kingston Wall and Änglagård; the harmonizing craft of Bach and Rachmaninoff; the earnestness of Stevie Ray Vaughan and Grand Magus etc etc...I could go on for ages.
11. Does Satanism or Occultism play any role in the music?
ANDREAS: Yes.
JANNE: Yes.
12. What are some of your interests outside of music?
ANDREAS: I'm a history scholar.
NIKLAS: Drinking beer and go to festivals!
JANNE: NHL, literature and whiskey.
ANTON: Sound engineering and sailing.
13. Any final words or thoughts?
ANDREAS: You can't stop rock n roll.
JANNE: Fuck the Law.

Troll Bends Fir/1516-Order Of The Holy Hop/2010 CD Review
Troll Bends Fir are a band from St. Petersburg, Russia that plays a style that is known as folk metal and this is a review of their 2010 album "1516-Order Of The Holy Hop".
Drums are mostly slow to mid paced beats with no fast playing or drumming, while the flute has an Irish flavor to it and it brings the folk element to the music, as for the bass playing it is all rhythm bass that follows the riffs that are coming out of the guitars.
Rhythm guitars are mostly slow to mid paced riffs that are in a folk metal vein with a basic sound and there are no lead guitars or solos present on this album but there are some acoustic guitars being used at times.
Vocals are mostly clean singing that has a folk/pagan feel to it with some aggressive vocals and growls being used at times mixed in with some female vocals, while the lyrics are written in a mixture of Russian and English and are mostly about Slavic and Norse Paganism mixed in with a lot of beer drinking anthems, as for the production it sounds very professional and you can hear all of the instruments that are on this album.
In my opinion Troll Bends Fir are a very good band and if you are a fan of folk metal you should check out this album. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "Beer Cellar" "Pornopolka" and "Nothing To Blame For". RECOMMENDED BUY.
Windfaerer Interview
First of all, warm greetings and hails to everyone interested in Windfaerer. Second of all, I don't think most people have heard of us (if they say so, they may be lying). Windfaerer began as a project of ideas I've had for years. Its concept started as I was trying to write songs for a band I was in with friends from high school, called Skies Devoured, we played a mix of melodic death metal and power metal. While writing I was yearning to inject a sort of folkloric edge, but not everyone was on the same page. It was frustrating experiencing the gridlock and writer's block in that band, being that we wanted to do everything, yet we always accomplished nothing! So, I said, "to hell with it!" and began keeping ideas for myself. I composed a few songs and fellow band-mate, JP, was willing to record the drums for me, which led to the demo. Eventually I got in touch with Valèek to perform violin. The stars aligned and Windfaerer finally saw light.
The concept of Windfaerer is to create metal music with folkloric edge--the keyword is "metal". Windfaerer, is first and foremost, a metal band. The music is written on guitar, down to the violin's melodies--maybe in the future we will begin to write using the violin, but for now, it's all guitar-determined. I would describe the music as epic, heavy, melodic, heartfelt and angry.
Windfaerer is a compound word simply meaning to voyage with the wind. I chose this combination of words to beckon a feeling of freedom and capture the vibe of someone lost at sea, guided by the earth's energy, the wind. In a way, I feel like I am lost at sea, I am not clairvoyant, nor am I omniscient, thus I am unaware of what is to come of the future. I can only sail with a goal and purpose in mind, hoping to reach that in the end, but discovering along the way. This is the essence of Windfaerer.
The way I like to describe most of the lyrics is that they deal with common emotions in an ancient setting, likely Hispania (present day Portugal and Spain). A lot of the lyrics are a result of the feelings evoked from the music itself. In terms of Hispania, Windfaerer puts its head around the aura of the Iberian peninsula and its history. Rather than follow the route treaded upon by tons of folk-inspired bands and write about Vikings and drinking (which are cool in their own respect), I wanted to bring forth something dealing with my own ancestry; something I can connect with. I want to write about the history of my ancestors (who don't get a very audible voice in metal), like the Lusitanians, Celtiberians, Visigoths, and of course, conquistadors. One of my favorite figures from the Roman era is Viriathus. He is, to me, a symbol of rebellion. Without rebellion our lives are complacent and stagnant. We must rebel to live--constantly challenging ourselves, our thoughts, in order to advance. I am looking to make that a constant theme.
5. What is it like being a Folk Metal band in America with most of the bands playing this style are usually from Europe and do you hope to create a folk metal movement in this country?
My essential goal is to create music that I, personally, would like to hear. It's great that others enjoy it and I love that, but it's truly a personal experience. If this takes me somewhere, great, if not, I will still be doing it, because I'm impassioned. Being part of a movement would be interesting, but it is not imperative. Unfortunately, movements (or "scenes") tend to cause trends and dull whatever edge the original music had. Scenes also take authenticity away from the music, making you question, are people playing this music because it's in their hearts or just because all the cool kids are doing it? You cannot control such things. Everything happens for a reason, and even scenes push music forward, making way for the next one. All in all, it would be cool to leave a mark.
6. Have you had any opportunities to do live shows yet, if so what are some of the best shows that the band has played so far and how would you describe your stage performance?
We haven't had a chance to play live yet. The idea to play live came to me recently, so I'm still working on mobilizing that aspect of the band.
7. How has your music been received so far by folk metal and melodic black.death fans worldwide?
Regarding the reception of the two-song 'Glorybound' demo (which can be downloaded for free at www.purevolume.com/windfaerer), it has been overwhelmingly positive. The only complaint I have been hearing is that the demo was "too short". Hopefully, they'd still be wanting more after the full-length, 'Tribus' gets released.
8. How would you describe your musical progress over the years and what direction do you see the music heading into on future releases?
Throughout the years, I have been learning to keep focused and have a mental agenda of what I want to do. Considering that I have a lot of musical influences I have to filter through a lot of ideas before I create something for Windfaerer--fortunately, sometimes it's on the spot! There are points where I want to create a band for every genre (black metal, grindcore, brutal death, goregrind, power metal, hardcore, doom, etc); there's just so much metal! As far as I can see, I plan to continue Windfaerer with a straight-to-the-throat attack with the music. I am trying to keep this as cheese-free as possible. Some future songs (that have not been recorded professionally yet) will have a darker, more brutal sound, while others will keep the melodic melee. The challenge is retaining a flow. I plan on doing a short concept album, or a few songs, dedicated to the age of discovery and Iberian conquest of the Americas--hopefully sooner than later.
9. Do any of the band members have any side projects besides this band if so who are they and what kind of music do they play?
JP and I both play in Grimus (from New Jersey, not Romania), which play death metal. JP also just started playing with The Breathing Process, which have a groovy melodic death/black style. Violinist, Valèek is pursuing violin studies at his university and also utilizes his talents in raw heathen black metal band Mjollnir (New Jersey).
Windfaerer's sound is influenced by a lot of melodic death metal, black metal, power metal, and various folk music. In Flames, Dark Tranquillity, Mithotyn, Catamenia, Vintersorg, Dalriada, Moonsorrow, Windir, Forefather, Agalloch, Wintersun, are amongst the direct influences. Finally, one of my favorite bands in the folk metal subgenre and a great subconscious influence, Mägo de Oz. I also really enjoy Morbid Angel. But, I like a wide spectrum of music, from rumba to dream pop. Nowadays, my ears have been digging Alcest, Amesoeurs, Year of No Light, Cypher Seer, Katatonia, Beyond the Flesh, Sotajumala, Burzum, and a bunch of other stuff.
11. Does Paganism play any role in the music?
Paganism interests me, but not to the extent where it would greatly influence the music. When writing lyrics I try to avoid anything that implies the absoluteness of monotheism or polytheism. In the philosophy of the music there is an enigmatic force or spirit that oversees the happenings on earth. You may call this spirit Providence, Gaia, God, or whatever. I just try to keep in mind that a lot of these peoples' lives were governed by religion, be it a god or serpents, and it was a major factor. Paganism plays a role, as long as it is appropriate to the story being told.
I love traveling, be it Maine, Mexico, Paris or Portugal. I think every place in the world has its own vibe and a story to tell. The thought that you can be miles away from you home on another point of the earth is exhilarating to me. I suppose it's my inner-conquistador trying to explore/conquer! I also enjoy the histories of these places. I'm young and I plan to travel much more--there is so much to see. Besides that, I have a weak spot for animals and I studied graphic design in New York.
I would like to send my regards to everyone who supports me and Windfaerer. I would also like to thank you for the great questions, it has been a pleasure answering them.
Chaossworn/Chalice Of Black Flames/Abyss Records/2010 CD Review
Chaossworn are a band from Sweden that mixes melodic mixture of black and death metal and this is a review of their 2010 E.P "Chalice Of Black Flames" which was released by Abyss Records.
Drums are mostly mid paced to fast with some slow drumming, while the bass playing follows the guitars with a lot of melodic riffing.
Rhythm guitars have a good mixture of slow, mid paced to fast riffs that blend black and death metal together with a lot of melody, while the lead guitars are very heavy and melodic guitar solos.
Vocals are a mixture of high pitched black metal screams and death metal growls, while the lyrics cover death, darkness and destruction, as for the production which was recorded at Unisound Studios in Sweden and produced by Dan Swano sounds very professional and all of the instruments have a good sound.
In my opinion Chaossworn are a very good melodic melodic black/death metal band that should appeal to all fans of that genre with this 3 song e.p. RECOMMENDED TRACK ON THIS E.P is "Bringer Of Storms". RECOMMENDED BUY.

MEDIA RELEASE: YWCA HOSTS 2017 – 2018 REPORT TO COMMUNITY WITH UNVEILING OF TIME CAPSULES
CALGARY, June 20, 2018 – YWCA Calgary (YW) is proud to host today at 3:45 p.m. its 107th Annual General Meeting, with a special glimpse into the organization's history. The formal business meeting will be followed by the opening of time capsules, found behind building cornerstones with some of the descendants of their founding mothers, current board members and board leaders from the opening of the current facility. The meeting will take place at YW Calgary's downtown location and celebrates the YW's supporters, achievements, milestones and successes over the last year.
"This has been an exciting year for YW! With work moving quickly on our new Hub facility in Inglewood, we look forward to supporting women and their families to move from surviving to thriving in an inviting community." says Sue Tomney, Chief Executive Officer of YW. "Today, we are most excited to share a piece of our past with descendants of YW's first president, Kate Underwood and board members of the past and present."
The 2017-2018 year was another landmark year for YW. Many initiatives made purposeful change to programs and services to ensure they remain leading edge in client support. Included in that was the introduction of a supervision framework to enable this work. They also launched a sesquicentennial project celebrating the achievements of 150+ women in Calgary, grew their fundraising events and fostered conversations about equity, equality and gender-based violence.
The changes and opportunities YW faced in 2017-2018 better enable the organization to support women as they move from surviving to thriving and their continued efforts to intervene, empower and lead when and where women need them most.
About YW Calgary:
YW Calgary is the largest and longest serving women's organization in Calgary. For more than 107 years, we have focused on enhancing women's safety and well-being while advocating for equity. In 2017, YW Calgary supported more than 5,500 Calgary women and families. Together with our donors, government and other social agencies, we provide shelter, supportive housing, counselling, child development, childcare, education and employment programs that help move women from crisis to stability.
Women-centred. Brighter-future focused.

ENP's Urban Agriculture specialist Megan Masson-Minock spoke at the Washtenaw County HomeGrown Local Food Summit on Tuesday, March 2nd. Her presentation on Zoning, Planning and Ordinances to Support Local Food Systems complimented the summit's focus on increasing local food security and making healthy, locally grown foods more accessible. She will highlight ENP's partnership with the Ruth Mott Foundation, the Genessee County Land Bank and the City of Flint.
Megan has been working with the City of Flint to evaluate and amend the legal frameword to support urban agriculture. The impetus for this project relates to both the desire to allow for locally grown, healthy food and the desire to stabilize the significant amounts of vacant land in the City. She has also worked with Webster Township on Master Plan and Ordinance changes to support the changing agricultural industry.

Deputy Commissioner to visit priority policing estates for progress update
Broxtowe and Aspley will be the subject of scrutiny visits next week to monitor how partnership working is helping to keep the areas safe.
Nottinghamshire's Deputy Police and Crime Commissioner Chris Cutland will take part in a special 'walk about' in the two areas on Tuesday (March 10) to witness first-hand how police, community partners and the local authority are working together to address offending and other social problems.
Both estates have been identified as 'high impact areas' areas by the Force and City Council – neighbourhoods which suffer a disproportionate level of crime and require high impact intervention involving a multitude of local agencies.
Broxtowe has experienced significant levels of anti-social behaviour in the Woodfield Road, Withern Road, Lindbridge Road and Fenwick Road areas as well as high incident rates of domestic violence and cannabis production. Aspley has also faced anti-social behaviour problems in the Welstead Avenue, Tenbury Avenue and Allendale Avenue area, in addition to cannabis production within the estate.
The Deputy Commissioner's visit will form part of a series of progress checks across all of the county's Priority Plus areas to evaluate the work taking place to reduce crime and disorder and improve the futures of local residents.
Chris, a leading women's rights campaigner and Nottinghamshire's victims' advocate, said: "For some time now, local partners in the Aspley and Broxtowe areas have been working closely together to resolve some of the social issues which contribute to criminality in an effort to make life easier for local people.
"We know that domestic violence, drug taking and supply and acquisitive crime has strong links to unemployment and it is pleasing that some of the innovative approaches being used in these areas involve developing people's life skills and confidence to improve their employability, which can ultimately help them to break negative cycles of behaviour.
"In the current economic climate, it's vital that we tackle issues collectively to get the most out of our resources and to ensure that we deliver value for money to the taxpayer. I'm looking forward to finding out how the multiagency intervention schemes are being implemented in these areas to reduce demand on policing and create a safer living environment."
During the visit, Chris will meet staff and volunteers at BEST (Broxtowe Education, Skills and Training), a social enterprise organisation which equips local people with core skills such as numeracy, literacy, IT and social skills to help them find work. The organisation aims to boost the self-confidence of its students in searching for work as part of a wider goal to improve the social environment.
The Deputy Commissioner will also meet domestic violence survivors at the organisation's Denton Green premises to find out more about the support they are being offered under the scheme.

Cabinet approves committee to plan new future for state fair grounds
By Jonathan Shkurko September 11, 2019 0233
The grounds of the state fair in Nicosia
Cabinet on Wednesday approved a proposal by the ministers of finance and trade and commerce on appointing a committee of experts to produce a strategic plan for utilising the area of the state fair in Nicosia.
The proposal concerns appointing a team from both the public and the public sector, chaired by a university professor, with the task of developing a strategic plan for the best use of the space.
Emphasis will be placed on the creation of a modern exhibition centre as well as on ideas for setting up an education, technology and media business park.
The creation of a national centre for youth, or a multi-theme park in the state exhibition area, and the development of the space in general to make Nicosia a centre of research and innovation will also be considered.
The state fair – an exhibition area of 33,720 square metres in the Makedonitissa area, with 12 pavilions totalling 20,860 square metres of indoor exhibition space – used to host the Cyprus International State Fair which was a major event of the year.
Since 2014 when the Cyprus State Fair Authority (CSFA) that was managing the site closed its doors due to serious financial problems, the grounds of the state fair have been mostly left unutilised. It hosts some specialised exhibitions while the government is renting some space to house some of its services.

Kato's newest restaurant is also the first Thali restaurant in the city. This new Indian offering is right smack dab at the beginning of Mariacki and promises exactly what's in the name – Thali! If you've never experienced it before it is something akin to Indian tapas where instead of getting one bowl of curry or sauce you get six little bowls of delicious sauces, chutneys and curries served with rice and naan. Emphasis on vegetarian and vegan options.
The term bistro gets thrown around a lot these days but this bright and bustling cafe is indeed a true blue bistro at heart. From hearty breakfasts, to fresh squeezed juices, creative cakes, thrilling lunch specials and exquisite entrees, there is a lot to like here. And the longer you stay the longer you want to stay.
If you're not familiar yet with the Polish soup Żurek, it's your lucky day. It is a sour rye soup and one of the most iconic of all Polish dishes. This new bustling bistro is a shrine to the humble soup and you can order a big ole bowl with hard boiled eggs and/or sausages. But you know what they say, come for the soup and stay for the Silesian street food. Try the 'Ślązak' aka Silesian kielbasa hot dog or a 'Hajer' tortilla wrap with red cabbage, beef and pickles, among other things.
Nestled nicely into the basement and first floor of one of the brownstones (yes Katowice has brownstones!) on one of our favourite streets is this vegetarian and vegan treat. As the name suggests, they are all about cooking up hearty and healthy meals pulled straight from the garden. When we walked in specials included, vegan bechamel, Italian cabbage lecho, Parsley pesto tagliatelle (with vegan parmesan no less) and a spinach and zucchini yellow curry to knock your socks off.
It's a rarity but when places open north of the Spodek, they are usually worth the extra walk. This bold new bakery is no exception. The incredible smells of the fresh french breads and pastries being baked in the back will immediately grab you. Depending on the time of day you may or may not find a spot to sit in the minimalist cozy cafe. But we recommend you queue up regardless because the coffee, sandwiches and baked goods are worth it even if you have to grab and go.
Unlike many of the other shady shot bars and crowded student dives, Amnezja is spacious offering all sorts of nooks and crannies to tuck away in over three floors. There is a slight Western vibe with a lot of exposed brick and tasteful black murals of cowboys, Krakow and Katowice by art.pl. But the star of the show is most certainly the beer. Their claim to fame is the delicious super fresh "14 day" Tyskie which they get straight from the factory.
Quality cocktail bars were one of the things Kato seriously lacked for a long time and sorely deserved. The Yellow Door is the newest entry and it's an instant classic. The exposed brick and tall wrap-around wood bar are the main features of this dark lit one room wonder. But don't let the size fool you as this place gets packed in the evenings and even hosts concerts and DJs on the weekends. Try one of their bespoke cocktails on for size (whiskey sour all the way) or drop in during the day for quality coffee and cake.

Welcome to MMG Friday! Today's more meaningful shop is iWunder, run by the incredible Jennifer. Jennifer is our very own "Etsy-pedia" - she always has great advice on tagging, pricing, search optimization and so much more. Plus, she isn't afraid to speak her mind when something is unjust or against Etsy policy. She's also a brilliant scientist & fellow MSOE member. On top of all that, she's part of the EcoEtsy team & is committed to recycling her packaging. Jennifer is truly a wonderful & kind person and I'm proud to call her my friend.
Parrot moebius cowl - I've been coveting this cowl since it was listed. I absolutely love the fun art yarn & bright colours!
yarncoture: Her flowers are always well made. Her fiber choices are always of excellent quality and the color choices are always eye catching! iWunder is a wonderful seller and Etsian in general...she always has helpful information about how to sell a product, good customer relations. Experience is the key and she has definitely learned from hers and is very gracious to share it with others!
karalennox: iWunder is a font of etsy knowledge, which she shares generously with anyone who asks. Whether it's marketing, photography or pricing, she's our go-to girl. Plus, her crocheted flowers are addictive! I've bought several to dress up an ugly black backpack, which now looks stylishly divine!
Earth & a little bit of sky braided scarf - one of iWunder's signature scarf designs, these amazing braided ones are absolutely stunning and oh-so unique!
TrickyBugPaperArt: I recently purchased two fabulous items from iWunder's shop and I couldn't be more pleased! I first selected the "Twilight" crocheted flower brooch. This lovely little bloom arrived at my door very quickly, wrapped in recycled packaging.
Once I had "Twilight", I knew I had to have a coordinating scarf. Jennifer was very helpful in suggesting her long, skinny-knit wool blend scarf in gorgeous deep ocean colors. The brooch and scarf match so well and are impeccably crafted. I love that she chooses many hand-spun and hand-dyed yarns, to create items that are truly handmade and one of a kind. I love the set so much - it's unique, artistic, and a real statement-maker!
Pumpkin dude scarf - iWunder has a section of dude scarf in more neutral tones for the men in your life. Personally, I don't know any men who would wear a scarf (they're all way too "manly" to ever wear an "accessory" - ah, small town mentalities!) but if I did, I would be all over these.
jerise: iWunder is Wunderwoman! I love Jennifer's way of caring about so many people, and offering truly thoughtful help; of course she's a walking library of information, too. We all appreciate her lurking presence during our days, and know that she's ready to jump in and lend a helping hand whenever needed. I admire her organic way of going about the Etsy project, and her love for hand-dyed wool, her appreciation of sweet and overlooked vintage objects (such as that little creamer from Frankenmuth), and attraction to all things made by hand and with love. She has respect for her materials, just as she does for her friends. And she makes completely awesome cat-beds on a moment's notice!
Trix self-striping hand-dyed yarn - iWunder also dyes her own yarn (with Kool-Aid to get these awesome colours)!
marinebiochic07: iWunder's handdyed yarn is awesome! The colors are so bright and the self-striping yarn stripes beautifully (even though I wasn't trying :)). I have more balls at home and can't wait to get some more scarves made. And on top of being an awesome sales woman she is super supportive. I don't know where my shop would be without her encouragement for pricing our items fairly and her advice on tagging and titling items to get more exposure.
There's way more goodies in store, plus iWunder has 2 other shops - iWunderVintage & iWunderSews. Be sure to check them out too! Let me know what your favourite iWunder item is - and if you've ever received some advice from our very own Etsy-pedia!
Great feature! Sorry I forgot to get back to you! Busy day yesterday! I love all the products I have received from iWunder! They are always very well packaged!
What a fantastic feature Uli! Jennifer is truly one of the most amazing women I have met on MMG or Etsy for that matter!
I agree with everything everyone has said about Jennifer! My first purchase was a dude scarf for my daughter's boyfriend, and I just recently had her custom-make some flowers to go on the clutches that I make. She is fast and oh-so professional. The Bittersweeets One a Day Challenge team is proud to call her one of our own, too!
No doubt about it, Jenn is absolutely awesome and among my very favorite Etsians :D!
It seems like Jenn knows about everything:) We all love her on the MMG, and I've been eyeing her Dude Scarf for a long time!


The curtains will finally fall on the 2018 Kenya Premier Chess League (KPCL) when the teams meet for their final round matches this weekend at KCB Sports Club, Ruaraka.
A total of 21 teams drawn from Nairobi, Kisumu and Mombasa will take part in single round-robin format today and tomorrow.
The highlight of the season-ender will undoubtedly be the titanic clash between KCB Group and defending champions Equity Bank on Sunday that will ultimately decide this year's champions.
KCB are currently leading the chasing pack with 54 match points and 84 game points from 19 matches played, as Equity are heavily breathing down their neck in second position with 50 match points and 72.5 game points but with two matches in hand.
Deadly Bishops are in third position on 46 match points and 62 game points, having stayed atop of the table standings for the better part of the second leg, and are poised to clinch third position.
Ricky Sang, Martin Njoroge, Ugandan Woman Fide Master (WFM) Goretti Angolikin, Gloria Jumba and WFM Krishi Shah.


The flattering silhouette of this classic Wincanton tweed ladies' jacket makes it a firm favourite here at Cordings. In quintessential British equestrian tweed, soft and strong, this jacket feels as good as it looks and perfectly encapsulates that understated English country chic. Matching skirt , trousers and waistcoat also available.
Mooie kwaliteit jasje voor een hele mooie prijs.
Love, love, love the jacket.

'Rocketman' Shows Both Ups and Downs of Elton John's Life, Says Taron Egerton
Agency News PTI| May 22, 2019 09:54 AM IST
Offset of Migos (Photo Credits: Getty Images)
Los Angeles, May 22 (PTI) Actor Taron Egerton, who plays Elton John in the musical biopic "Rocketman", says the film gives a true account of the music legend's life without shying away from uncomfortable chapters of his story.
Egerton, who stars in the Dexter Fletcher-directed film alongside Richard Madden, Jamie Bell and Bryce Dallas Howard, said when they were making the film, they knew that John would be happy with what they were trying to show in it.
"I always felt, very keenly, that it's no secret that Elton has his ups and downs. And for me, what was most important was that we were true to that because that's who he is - and, frankly, that's why we love him," Egerton said in a statement.
"So, I felt very much when we were on set that I wanted to push it, because I knew the one person who wouldn't mind me doing that was Elton, because he's not precious. He knows where his strengths and weaknesses lie and he's very at peace with who he is. And he's been through a hell of a lot. He's been through recovery. He is settled and solid and knows who he is and he's frank and candid about it," he added.
Egerton said he wanted to explore the duality of John's personality where he is both generous and destructive at the same time.
"I always wanted it to be that duality between this sweet, incredibly caring and generous person who just has this intense artistic sensibility and volatility. I believe that that is hand in hand with his creative genius. To not honour it felt incorrect," the actor said.
The film features a much-talked about love scene between the characters of John and John Reid (played by Madden), and Egerton said he is really proud of it.
"I'm a straight actor playing a gay icon, so I felt very keenly that if I was going to do this properly, we had an obligation to honour that side of his story. Early in the film, there is a love scene between me and Richard. I'm very proud of it.
"It's the first love scene I've ever done and it's two young guys falling in love at a time where it wasn't that socially acceptable. It's a scene I'm really, really proud of. I think it's lovely, actually," the actor said.
"Rocketman", a Paramount Pictures movie, will be exclusively distributed in India by Viacom18 Motion Pictures. The film releases on May 31.

Commissioned by the Pakistan Air Force, this 238 page coffee table book, written by Alan Warnes will take you into the day to day challenges of operating a top class military with limited funds. The author has been fortunate enough to travel to Pakistan nearly twenty times and has taken many of the 300 images that illustrate the recent years of an air force on the highest state of alert.
With Iran, Afghanistan and India straddling its borders nothing can ever be taken for granted. Having shot down an Iranian military UAV crossing into its airspace during June, fighting a war with militants in the western FATA region and continuously monitoring the Indian Air Force, life in the PAF isn't boring. Its the only air force in the world that has designed a fighter too - the JF-17, which it is building with support from its Chinese allies at the Pakistan Aeronautical Company Kamra complex.

RECORD CRACK: P.S. I Love You – Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love" (Japan)
Posted on November 1, 2011 by John Book
I'm going to try a new series, not sure if I'll have a new series each month but I'll initiate it here. Record Crack is all about my love of all that is vinyl records, the different quirks, a bit of turntable information… basically a mixed bag of anything and everything.
This new series is called P.S. I Love You, which is the title of a Beatles song, but amongst record collectors, the term PS stands for "picture sleeve", usually in reference to sleeves that are sold with 7″ 45rpm singles. P.S. I Love You is a subtle way of saying that I love picture sleeves, and I do. In the last 17 years, we have moved from caring about album/CD cover artwork, to wondering if it looks good as a forum avatar. Music fans often celebrate artists, songs, albums, and videos with a clever avatar, but as the MP3 has opened the virtual door to an endless stream of musical content, they may not realize that for earlier generations, singles and albums were represented by specific images. Many of them were represented by picture sleeves that were mass marketed and sold to the public, and a lot of times they were treated like a bag of potato chips/crisps, thrown on the bedroom or living room floor as the record played over and over until there were too many skips, surface noise, or someone stepped on it.
With music fans, seeing a picture sleeve often brings back a nostalgic feeling. For record collectors, it's interesting to see how those songs/singles and albums were represented in other countries, who would often release records with sleeves that was unfamiliar to people outside of the home country of the release. The Beatles made it possible to discover the differences between US and UK releases, but one song could have been released in multiple ways with completely different sleeves. In many instances, countries would release singles that were not released in the US or UK.
P.S. I Love You is not going to be a series about every single different picture sleeve out there. This series is about some of my all time favorite picture sleeves, a mixture of records that were/are in my collection, or sleeves I may have seen in books, magazines, websites, or blogs. Each entry will feature a brief story, and while some of these are well known to fans of these songs and artists, there are some who will be seeing these for the first time, as the image is not one they see in their minds when thinking/hearing of the song. It's simply another voyage into the cool and wacky world of record collecting, and there are many collectors who will do anything in their power to obtain that special picture sleeve, their "holy grail if you will". There are even collectors who don't want the records, it's sleeves and sleeves only.
For my first installment of P.S. I Love You, we go to Japan.
My childhood was filled with a good share of hard rock and heavy metal, either from uncles who praised bands like Black Sabbath and Alice Cooper, or a father who never held me back from listening to whatever I wanted. My first Led Zeppelin album was a Taiwan pressing of Led Zeppelin III, with its cheap-ass flimsy paper/plastic cover and blue label. Incredibly scratchy unlike the Atlantic pressing my uncle had, but it was still Led Zeppelin. I grew up with the albums, but would read articles on how the band refused to release singles in their home country. Meanwhile, Atlantic in the U.S. insisted on releasing singles, as they were promotional tools not only to promote the act, but to help sell the album. There's a side of Led Zeppelin's legacy based on what Atlantic released as potential hit singles: "Black Dog", "Rock'N'Roll", "D'yer Ma'ker", "Trampled Underfoot", "The Immigrant Song" (with its praised non-LP B-side "Hey Hey What Can I Do") and a few others. Each of these songs were not big hits on the pop charts, but remain classic rock staples today.
The release of Led Zeppelin's debut album in 1969 showed Atlantic that these New Yardbirds could sell some records, but at the time they were targeted to college kids who loved that abrasive "heavy blues". The band may have been signed by Atlantic in the hopes they could be as hit-worthy (or teen sensations) as The Yardbirds were in some circles, but Jimmy Page wanted to try something new when his New Yardbirds settled to become something much mightier. When the band came out with Led Zeppelin II, Atlantic U.S. chose to release the opening track as a single. "Whole Lotta Love" is hugely influential today, but back then the song was considered too weird because of its avant-garde mid-section. Some felt the guitar feedback and moans from Robert Plant was a bit too sexual, and that lead to Atlantic creating a radio friendly version which eliminated the mid-section. That seemed to do the job, as the song would gain a bit more airplay and find time in jukeboxes across the country.
Other countries would take a cue and release "Whole Lotta Love" as a single. When record store customers saw the single, that was the song to pay attention to. The single was king, and that attention and awareness could lead to concert ticket sales if that band played in other countries.
Atlantic Japan released "Whole Lotta Love" as a single, and while there are many different LZ picture sleeves to choose from, I always liked this one because it features an action shot of the band that is fairly uncommon. If you read articles about the band, you'll see the same set of photos over and over. This one consists of nothing but Plant letting out a wail while Jimmy Page is seen in the foreground. You don't see nothing but his arm, his hair, and the neck of his guitar, complimented by the band name and song title in kanji and the obligatory Atlantic Records logo. That's it.
When people think of "Whole Lotta Love" and have to come up with an image, it's usually of the Led Zeppelin II cover, or perhaps a photo from the first album. This picture sleeve shows the kind of care Japan put into making their products stand out, an aesthetic that not only was a standard for all of their music, but one that can be seen in all of their products. It just looks cool because it's different. Awesome.

The Suitable World is an adventure story blending travel, fashion and history within a reality-show premise: one man, one specially designed three-piece suit worn continuously for 28 days across extremes of weather, geography and social conditions. The project culminates at a three-star Michelin restaurant with the suit (hopefully) in presentable condition.
As a T.V. program, The Suitable World is envisioned as a single episode with a three-part narrative arc;
Design/preparation
Climax/wrap up
The design phase establishes the challenge of pulling together the ultimate, "Bond-like" outfit; a suit that is as comfortable in a kayak as it is in a board-room. It offers many rich detours into the history of suits, geeking out on classic detailing and modern technology (teflon-coated wool!), and the colorful London craftsmen who are putting the outfit together.
The journey follows the suit in every conceivable context - riding a horse (or camel), cycling, hiking, kayaking and so on. The journey creates striking visuals and an opportunity to engage with local communities and landscape.
From top left: Working at an organic farm, kayaking the West Fjords, Hiking the canyon lands of the South, new lamb on a farm in the East, an Icelandic food tasting in Isafjordour
Every trial needs a climax or final test. The Suitable World culminates at a three star (or equivalent) Michelin restaurant (with the original designers joining ) where the suit either passes or fails. It is also a chance to reflect upon the project - what lessons have been learned, what deeper truths revealed.
The Suitable World has been through a successful, 28-day proof-of-concept in Iceland (June 2015)
Why this makes for good television.
Skogafoss Waterfall, Iceland June 2015
Compelling ingredients: The Suitable World creates something new from the proven ingredients of travel, fashion and reality-tv (where the risk of failure is ever-present and the outcome unknown). In the same way that cuisine provides a lens through which to explore new cultures (e.g. Anthony Bourdain et al.), The Suitable World uses fashion and art as a means of revealing aspects of a place that are normally hidden to the average tourist.
Deeper relevance: The Suitable World also asks questions that matter today; can we do better with less, can we approach sustainability through the lens of craftsmanship, how does clothing shape our identity and our sense of place, what is the significance of 'travel' in an increasingly homogenised world built around familiarity, convenience and disposability?
Multichannel applicability: The Suitable World works very well across media. Online and social media support the pre-broadcast phases by following the project in real-time; documenting the challenges and people who are supporting The Suitable World. During the actual trip social media (blog, Facebook, Instagram) create engagement, build interest in the broadcast and provide supporting content after airing. PR support throughout can help drive viewership.
From left: Coverage in Iceland Monitor, Facebook Page, Instagram Feed
The options are nearly unlimited but here are two.
Travel the circumference of Iceland. Dramatic scenery, highly varied activities. Having made this journey for the proof of concept, we have very strong contacts with the tourism bureau and many artists and adventurers across the island. Gathering great content and experiences would be fairly straightforward. Ideal time is early summer: June.
From North Africa to Paris. A more ambitious route through Morocco, Spain and France. The benefits of such a route are the wider cross-cultural opportunities and arriving at the "home" (Paris) of sartorial discernment which raises the stakes on the challenge. Ideal time: early Fall (Late October)
Writing (blog posts during the proof-of-concept)

Solving Evacuation Problems Efficiently: Earliest Arrival Flows with Multiple Sources
Nadine Baumann and Martin Skutella
Submitted. An extended abstract appeared in Proceedings of the 47th Annual IEEE Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science (FOCS'06), 339-408, 2006.
network flow; flow over time; earliest arrival flow; evacuation problem
Earliest arrival flows capture the essence of evacuation planning. Given a network with capacities and transit times on the arcs, a subset of source nodes with supplies and a sink node, the task is to send the given supplies from the sources to the sink as quickly as possible. The latter requirement is made more precise by the earliest arrival property which requires that the total amount of flow that has arrived at the sink is maximal for all points in time simultaneously. It is a classical result from the 1970s that, for the special case of a single source node, earliest arrival flows do exist and can be computed by essentially applying the Successive Shortest Path Algorithm for min-cost flow computations. While it has previously been observed that an earliest arrival flow still exists for multiple sources, the problem of computing one efficiently has been open for many years. We present an exact algorithm for this problem whose running time is strongly polynomial in the input plus output size of the problem.

EPL Champions
Facebook-f Twitter Video Twitch
EPL Group C Preview
Join the CIS Revolution
The CIS teams have been dominating thus far and this seems like it will be a trend to continue throughout 2021. Gambit have just won IEM Katowice and are joined by Natus Vincere who have won BLAST Premier Global Final 2020. The two very best CIS teams are in the same group. They are joined by Cloud9 and a trio of Brazilian teams in FURIA, TeamOne and MIBR. Which of these teams will be able to join Gambit and Natus Vincere, who are favoured to go through, in the playoffs.
Natus Vincere (#4)
Natus Vincere has been off to a blistering start to the year, taking a win at the BLAST Premier Global Finals and losing in the quarter finals of IEM Katowice to fellow CIS team and eventual winner Gambit (#2).
This team has an incredible x-factor with the greatest CS:GO player of all-time with s1mple and a superstar alongside him in electronic, these two players put them in contention for any match and tournament. Their peak level is almost unbeatable, but it's all too rare to see it, in the end it can end up on s1mple's shoulders who has to fight tooth and nail to clinch the wins.
There is some fierce competition in this group, but even with Gambit picking up IEM Katowice most recently, Natus Vincere is still the favourite going into this and knowing what standards they hold themselves to, they'll want to top this group.
It's not always that s1mple
While s1mple has for years been cementing himself as the best CS:GO player ever he has recently found himself doing even more for his team and giving Natus Vincere another dimension by moving around and positioning himself on the frontlines when his opponents least expect it.
Gambit (#2)
A steady trajectory for the team has led to some great results for the team recently culminating in the biggest win of this roster yet, IEM Katowice. Slowly, but surely Gambit have been establishing themselves as a top team that everyone should look out for. Over the course of the last month they have beaten all the top CIS teams and while they are not yet the top dog of the region, they are surely getting close.
With sh1ro as the main firepower in the team and a climb to the second spot in the ESL World Ranking it will be interesting to see whether or not Gambit can keep up this form. They surely have set the expectations high and it would be strange not to see them go through in the group.
Don't shy away from sh1ro
He rarely misses a beat. Sh1ro has continuously shown himself to be a deciding factor in the team, being especially strong when it comes to clutching. He might not be as aggressive as a s1mple, but he is just as important for his team. He will be an instrumental part to the success Gambit is looking for.
FURIA (#9)
Hyper-aggressive, the holders of the W-key, ferocious in their playstyle. FURIA has captured the hearts of many CS fans by their flashy playbook filled with crazy pushes that some might only see in matchmaking games. The Brazilian team found a lot of early success and for a while dominated the North American region, but now they have lost some of their players and with a new roster they are faring not as well as they'd like.
A 7th-8th place finish at IEM Katowice is not what the team was looking for, but a respectable first showing having brought in junior and honda (as a substitute). Having moved out to Europe to compete against the best hasn't been going amazing for the team as they have only been able to win four of their last ten games since the player break. The question is whether the team has been able to adapt to the level and integrate its new players to come back stronger during the EPL Season.
It's simply arT
FURIA is known for their aggression and there is no else that lives more by this theory than arT. The Brazilian sometimes just seems to hold the W-button as he enters a side of the map. Undoubtedly causing frustration among his opponents. arT and his team could see a better result here as they have the style, the firepower and all they need now is the form.
Cloud9 (#19)
Dubbed the Colossus, doubling down on becoming a world-class roster and force in CS. Cloud9 showed some promise in the inception of the roster, but so far it's been mostly disappointing and their results have reflected that. They couldn't make it through the IEM Katowice Play-In and only reached a 7th-8th place finish at cs_summit 7 and to top of a disappointing run they were unable to make it through the DreamHack Masters Spring qualifier.
The community has been doubtful following these results and Cloud9 is out here to prove something, they have brought in Xeppaa over a month ago and now it's the question of whether or not they have been able to implement him into the roster. If they have, then we can expect a team fighting for a spot in the playoffs.
The high price tag
Es3tag was their most premier acquisition and the last three months he has not offered what Cloud9 needs out of him. We know how well the young Dane can play, but the question is when we will see it if at all. It surely could be the X factor for his team to upset some of the higher ranked teams in the groups as Cloud9 belongs to the dark horses of the group.
TeamOne (#33)
Another one of the Brazilian teams in the group, but much more of an unknown quantity in Europe than FURIA is. They have only recently moved to Europe and are looking to compete with some of the top dogs.
The ambition is there, but the results have not been what they are looking for. They came in deadlast in the IEM Katowice Play-In. In North America they were always in contention for the tournament wins and now it's time for them to adjust to the steeper competition they'll find in the European region.
Like many rosters at this point, TeamOne used to field a sixth player in cass1n, but they have recently decided to bench the player and just five remain on the active roster, could they be enough to cause an upset and possibly even move on to the playoffs.
Will he be the X factor
malbsMd has been their biggest fragging power as of late and now it is time for the Guatemalan to show what he is made of. He could be the talisman for this roster.
MIBR (#40)
It's been a turbulent few months for the organization, but the team is back and fielding a full Brazilian line-up with some familiar faces such as boltz and yel. They have been around for a while and in the case of boltz has played with some of the former MIBR players, they now join the legendary name this organization holds.
A 9th-12th place at the IEM Katowice Play-In and a 10th-12th place finish at BLAST Premier Spring Groups doesn't look too good for the team and they are only two months into the process. Their results have thus far not been amazing, however now it's time to see what this group of players is capable of. Their future could be bright, but the light of MIBR could also be very dim.
Will lightning strike
Boltz is the player to watch for this team and he is surely going to have to be the main firepower in the roster. The 23-year old performed well in his earlier teams and now more than ever it is time for him to step up and bring new life into the MIBR team. They are together with TeamOne the most unlikely team to make it through, but that does make it even more interesting to see what they can bring to the table.
