The 40 Best Blink-182 Songs (and Counting) To Celebrate Their Reunion
October 13, 2022, 9:00 AM ·12 min read
We're feeling this!
The best Blink-182 songs are hard to narrow down due to the diversity of their catalog. The beloved pop-punk outfit is one of the most successful bands of all time. Unlike most rock stars, they weren't about hard partying or taking themselves seriously, but instead focused on catchy hooks and toilet humor. The band's youthful energy eventually gave way to a more mature sound which also resonated with their growing audience, resulting in a large and diverse catalog of hits.
Get to know the best Blink-182 songs, as well as what led to members Mark Hoppus, Tom DeLonge and Travis Barker breaking up and ultimately reuniting—but don't worry, Matt Skiba gets plenty of love here, too.

Why did Blink-182 break up?
Blink-182 first went on an "indefinite hiatus" in February 2005 largely because communication broke down between the band members. At the time, DeLonge also cited the toll touring took on his personal life for his stepping away from the band.
During the hiatus, DeLonge focused largely on Angels & Airwaves, while Hoppus and Barker each pursued their own projects, including their collaboration +44.
The band also suffered other setbacks, namely Barker's plane crash (in which he and Adam "DJ AM" Goldstein were the only survivors) and the death of their producer Jerry Finn. However, those tragedies ultimately brought them together: DeLonge reached out to Barker when he was hospitalized, and the gesture ultimately led to their 2009 reunion. That reunion sparked their album Neighborhoods, released in 2011.
In January 2015, however, there was more bad blood, with Barker and Hoppus accusing DeLonge of quitting the band and delaying work on their next album and tour, while DeLonge alleged that beef with his fellow members began during the process of recording their 2012 Dogs Eating Dogs EP. DeLonge later confirmed that he planned to focus full time on his To the Stars ... Academy of Arts and Sciences.
In March 2015, Alkaline Trio frontman Matt Skiba was enlisted to fill in for three shows. Eventually, he became a full-time member of Blink-182 and worked on their album California. It was their first ever to be nominated for a Best Rock Album Grammy. Skiba was also on their followup effort, Nine.
In July 2022, Skiba raised eyebrows when he admitted he wasn't sure if he was still a member of Blink-182 but that he was proud of and thankful for the time he had in the band.

Did Blink-182 get back together?
Blink is back, baby! On Oct. 11, 2022, Blink-182 announced that DeLonge was back in the band. Their first single, "Edging," from their upcoming album debuted on Oct. 14, 2022, and the group will also embark on a world tour in 2023. Of course, the announcement was made with the band's typical gross-out humor.

How many Blink-182 members are there?

40 Best Blink-182 Songs
"Dammit"
The second single from the band's sophomore album, "Dammit" was its first big hit. It's been over 20 years since it released and the song is still a staple of any Blink-182 setlist.
"I Miss You"
Blink-182's 2003 self-titled album featured a more mature sound for the band, and none of the songs captured that feeling better than "I Miss You." DeLonge's endearing warble and Hoppus' soft, almost murmur-like vocals (plus the "Jack and Sally" namedrop) made this an instant classic.
"What's My Age Again"
The lead single for Enema of the State, "What's My Age Again" proved that Blink-182 was more than just a one-hit-wonder. While the song is catchy, it's also remembered for its iconic video featuring the band running around town naked.
"Ghost on the Dance Floor"
After nearly a decade-long hiatus, Blink-182 returned in 2011 with the album Neighborhoods. The album's first track, "Ghost On the Dance Floor," may not have been a single, but it showed that Blink hadn't lost its touch: Poppy melodies and a great beat made this a fan-favorite.
"All the Small Things"
This is another super catchy song with an even more memorable video that featured Blink gently parodying all of the big boy bands and pop stars of the early 2000's. The visuals (especially DeLonge's teeth) turned out to be just as iconic as the ones they parodied.

"I Won't Be Home For Christmas"
Blink-182 recorded this song all the way back in 1997, although it wasn't officially released as a single until 2003. The anti-Christmas song makes fun of traditional carols and tells the story of a man snapping around the holidays.
"Anthem Part Two"
While 2001's Take Off Your Pants and Jacket may feature some of the band's poppiest songs, it kicks off with a bit of an edge. "Anthem Part Two" is an early example of millennials standing up to boomer complaints.
"Adam's Song"
In the late '90s and early 2000's, Blink-182 was mainly known for being a silly band that ran around naked and made d--k jokes. They showed that they had more to say, however, with the release of this dark single from Enema of the State that combined heartbreaking lyrics with soaring melodies.
"M+Ms"
The band's very first single featured all of the hallmarks that would make Blink-182 massively successful. It has catchy hooks, energetic guitar riffs and even some potty humor.
"Josie"
While "Dammit" is considered to be the breakthrough hit from 1997's Dude Ranch, many fans prefer "Josie," a song about how awesome Hoppus' then-girlfriend was for bringing him Mexican food. Relatable! Also be on the lookout for Alyssa Milano in the music video.

"Go"
Hoppus described "Go" as a straightforward song about domestic violence. The song conveys the anger, anxiety and lingering pain from that experience, and the instrumentation and vocals convey a true sense of urgency.
"Snake Charmer"
Another song from Neighborhoods that wasn't released as a single, DeLonge uses Biblical imagery to chilling and stunning effect on "Snake Charmer"—but to be clear, let's not blame all Adam's problems on Eve. The man had free will and a mind of his own!
"Edging"
In their first comeback single since DeLonge's return, DeLonge and Hoppus take turns with verses and share double-duty on the hook and harmonize on the bridge. The title is, naturally, of their humorous oeuvre, and the lyrics are classic Blink as well, especially when DeLonge sings "I'm a punk rock kid / I came from hell with a curse / She tried to pray it away / So I f**ked her in church."
"Man Overboard"
Released as a promotional single for the band's live album, "Man Overboard" showed off Blink's more mature side. The song is rumored to be about the band's ex-drummer and features some dark lyrics sung over some poppy rhythms.
"Going Away to College"
Blink-182 was often criticized for trying too hard to appeal to younger listeners in the late '90s, but this track from Enema of the State perfectly captures the anxiety young people feel when they leave home for the first time.
"Always"
This catchy song from the 2003 self-titled album featured another memorable video for the band. It utilized a split screen technique that told the same story multiple times with different members of the band filling in for the main part.

"Home Is Such a Lonely Place"
By 2016, Blink-182 had fully embraced growing up. Hoppus wrote "Home Is Such a Lonely Place" about what it might feel like when his son grows up and leaves home.
"Feeling This"
Blink-182's self-titled album kicked off a new era for the band, featuring a more mature sound. "Feeling This," the album's first single, perfectly represented the band's more mature, yet still fun, sound.
"The Rock Show"
After the massive success of Enema of the State, Blink-182 had to follow that up with something just as good. Fortunately, "The Rock Show" is catchy, fun and the perfect lead single for Take Off Your Pants and Jacket, and it's a great song to hype yourself up before a concert.
"I'm Lost Without You"
"I'm Lost Without You" features haunting vocals from DeLonge with lyrics conveying real longing. The extended outro also showcases Barker's drum skills with an incredibly long solo. The final track on the band's self-titled album—the last released before their first hiatus in 2005—almost reads as a farewell from DeLonge to Hoppus and Barker.
"After Midnight"
One of Blink-182's strengths has always been Barker's amazing drum skills, and "After Midnight" is the perfect song to show off his musical chops—as well as lyrics that perfectly encompass the end of long nights out.
Related: Best Country Songs of All Time
"Down"
After the success of "I Miss You," Blink-182 released "Down" as a single. By this point, the band had proven that its new mature sound was a hit with fans.
"Carousel"
Blink-182's first album, Cheshire Cat, opens with "Carousel," which perfectly shows off the band's not-quite-punk/not-quite-pop sound.
"Bored to Death"
Fans weren't sure if Blink-182 could work without Delonge, but the band's first single without him, "Bored to Death," proved that new singer Matt Skiba's style fit right in with the band—and his crystal clear vocals provided some seriously catchy "whoa-ohs."
"Stay Together for the Kids"
After testing the waters with "Adam's Song," Blink-182 once again showed off a more mature side with this 2002 single from the album Take Off Your Pants and Jacket. As the title suggests, it tells the story of a family rocked by divorce—or a lack thereof.
"Not Now"
Originally recorded as part of the self-titled sessions, "Not Now" was left off that album but was released as a single for the band's Greatest Hits album.

"Wasting Time"
While the song wasn't officially released as a single until 1996 as part of Cheshire Cat's promotion, it was actually part of a split EP the band recorded back in 1994.
"Pathetic"
The lead track to Dude Ranch, "Pathetic" features dueling vocals from DeLonge and Hoppus that eventually would become their signature.
"Hey I'm Sorry"
When Blink-182 recorded California, they ended up with almost enough material for two full albums. While it didn't make the cut for the initial release, "Hey I'm Sorry" was one of the best tracks from the expanded version of the album.
"Dumpweed"
Blink-182 knows how to kick off an album, and Enema of the State's "Dumpweed" is another example of the band launching with one of the best tracks.
"Blame It On My Youth"
Blink-182 kicked off the promotion for it's 2019 album Nine with the release of its lead single, "Blame It On My Youth." Produced and co-written by former Sugarcult frontman Tim Pagnotta, "Blame It On My Youth" stemmed from a drum pattern Barker developed, and you can hear it in the beat.

"All Of This"
"All of This" is basically what melancholia sounds like, but in the best way. Fans of Blink-182 are likely also fans of The Cure, so this track from the self-titled album featuring Robert Smith is definitely a crowd-pleaser.
"Aliens Exist"
"Aliens Exist" was basically a precursor to everything Delonge would focus on for the rest of his life outside of music. If his emails with John Podesta are any indication, the guy might have been right this whole time ... Maybe.
"First Date"
"First Date" features everything that made Blink-182 big in the late '90s and early 2000s: youthful (and relatable!) lyrics, big guitars and a silly, silly video. (Seriously, DeLonge's "WTF" face makes for a great GIF.)
"Pin the Grenade"
"Pin the Grenade" is one of Blink-182's tracks with Skiba that evoke their classic essence the most. The uptempo track is an instant pop-punk classic.
"Asthenia"
Delonge captures the exhaustion that comes with a chaotic relationship and breakup in "Asthenia," wailing, "Should I go back / Should I go back / Should I? / I feel alone and tired." When it culminates with the answer "This time I don't want to," you can feel it.
Related: Best Summer Songs of All Time
"She's Out of Her Mind"
Skiba and Hoppus team up on this ode to a woman who loves Bauhaus. We commend their (and her) fine taste. The video also pays homage to "What's My Age Again" with a twist.
"What Went Wrong"
Delonge is every heartbroken teenager in "What Went Wrong," right down to the lack of accountability for whatever it is that did go wrong. We've all been there, right? … Right?
"Dysentery Gary"
"Dysentery Gary" is a perfect combination of angst and frustration over a breakup, plus a little toilet humor and absurdity thrown in.
"Boxing Day"
One of the band's rare acoustic songs, "Boxing Day," featured on the EP Dogs Eating Dogs. If you've ever been dumped (or just melancholy) near Christmas, this is for you.
"Not Another Christmas Song"
Jingle bells and Skiba's "fa la la la" hook and "let it snow" refrain in the bridge make this song indeed not another Christmas song—because it's far better, catchier, and more creative than most Christmas songs. As a bonus, it even has a claymation video.
Honorable Mention: "Why Are We So Broken"
The only reason this didn't make the cut is that it's technically a Steve Aoki track featuring Blink-182. It's obviously a huge departure from their typical sound, but the vocals and beat pair beautifully with Aoki's production. While it was somewhat polarizing among Blink-182 fans, it was awesome to see them expand their horizons.

Elizabeth Escalona, 23, admitted gluing her 2-year-old daughter to a wall and beating her over potty training.
Texas mom gets 99 years for gluing toddler to wall, beating her
[Updated at 4:22 p.m. ET] A Texas mother who super-glued her 2-year-old daughter's hands to a wall and beat her over potty training problems was sentenced Friday morning to 99 years in prison, a Dallas County felony records department district clerk said.
Elizabeth Escalona, 23, will be eligible to ask for parole in 30 years. She pleaded guilty in July to a charge of first-degree injury to a child, a crime punishable by anywhere between probation and life in prison.
"This mom was pure evil, and her children are better off without her," prosecutor Eren Price said after a judge delivered Friday's sentence. "Her five kids now have a chance to lead a productive life."
Escalona's attorney said that the sentence was excessive and that an appeal would be filed, CNN affiliate KTVT reported.
Escalona's daughter Jocelyn Cedillo was less than two months shy of her 3rd birthday in September 2011 when Escalona used a powerful adhesive to glue her hands to a wall and beat her because of potty training troubles, authorities said. Three other children belonging to Escalona, who was pregnant at the time, witnessed the abuse, according to Dallas County district attorney's office spokeswoman Debbie Denmon.
The child urinated on herself during the ordeal, during which she was hit in head and kicked in the groin, among other forms of abuse, Denmon said.
Oefelia Escalona, the defendant's mother, testified during her daughter's sentencing hearing this week that she found the girl and took her to a hospital. Once Jocelyn was there, medical authorities noticed severe bruises to her face and head, as well as a severe brain injury that led to her temporarily being in a coma.
At this week's sentencing hearing, prosecutors showed pictures of Jocelyn's hands and bruised body and forehead.
"The entire picture was very shocking," said Dr. Amy Barton, then a child abuse pediatrician at Children's Medical Center of Dallas, choking back tears on the stand on Monday. "I see a lot of children, and this was one of the most shocking cases that I have seen."
Escalona asked for leniency during her sentencing hearing this week, saying she behaved like a monster but deserved a second chance, KTVT reported. Her mother asked the judge to sentence Elizabeth to probation, according to KTVT.
Price initially offered a plea bargain of 45 years in prison, but Escalona turned it down, the district attorney's office said.
Price said that the judge, after learning more about Escalona during the hearing, was justified in sentencing her to more time.
"Elizabeth Escalona wasn't sorry for what she did to 2-year-old Jocelyn. Elizabeth Escalona felt sorry for herself," Price said. "Those tears on the stand were for her and not for the toddler she tortured."
An attempt to reach Escalona's attorney for comment Friday was not immediately successful.
Before this incident, Escalona had been investigated by Texas Child Protective Services but never arrested or charged, Denmon said.
The child welfare agency put all of her children in foster care after Jocelyn was taken to the hospital. All five of them, including Jocelyn, are now in the custody of their grandmother, Oefelia Escalona.

Apologies for trying to advance my own agenda into a topic, but it's ridiculous to think that gay parenting is substandard and should be prevented/outlawed. Look at this piece of feces mother, and her automatic, assured right to parent with any lack of care or love. Gay people cannot have children on their own biologically so they PLAN and PREPARE for taking on a child in their lives. I realize no one is perfect and there will be good and bad parents of every kind. In fact that is my point, let everyone BE a parent or guardian who wants to... to please consider not to be fooled by, or perpetuate the misguided notion that somehow a straight parent(s) are inherently better than gay parents. Thanks.

I must have missed the bit where it says she was definitely NOT a lesbian.
not gay
Cezza, that chick has 5 kids at the age of 23 and was knocked up at the time of the beating. Lesbians do sometimes utilize AI but this chick is just a breeder like any other animal taken to the pound for spaying.
Watch "the tall man" film. The world needs more dedicated people like the one's portrayed. Save the children, Save the species.
Phantasm?
rosta32
You people are out of your minds trying to justify 99 years! Put your emotions on hold for a second and consider the punishments that murders, rapists, and child molesters are getting....nowhere near this long. Mothers who killed their children get shorter sentences. Take her children away, sterilize her (I wish that was legal!), and give her 10-20 years....or execute every murderer, child abuser, and rapist currently serving time, at least be consistent.
Barrie Lee
They offered her a plea deal and she turned it down. It also states that the more the judge learned about her, the more time he added on. Guess she's just not that great of a citizen to have walking around free. Although at 23 and having 5 kids, I don't think she spent a lot of time walking around if you know what I mean. I think it's too bad they put her in jail for the rest of her like. I say stick her in the electric chair, along with every other murderer, child abuser, rapist, etc.
We are out of our minds??? Anyone that harms a child in any which way, especially a mother should get a stiff sentence. NO excuses. Hopefully you do NOT have children if you do not recognize the seriousness of this abuse and yes, crime!
She is eligible for parole in 30 years, and she will likely serve less than that if she gets good behavior.
The prosecutor offered her 45 years in prison, which meant she was looking at parole in closer to 15-20 years. But she refused that deal and took it to a jury trial instead. Where the judge got to KNOW HER, and the judge felt like 45 years was TOO leninient....
come on man. Its not necessarily the crime, its the person, the mentality, and the actions. She showed no remorse for her actions and is clearly a threat to any other children she could come into contact with. I think 30 years in prison is the best for her and the rest of America
She badly beat a two year old toddler.....said again....She badly beat a two year old toddler. Think about what you are writing. She deserved a worse sentance that what she received. The other criminals that you mentioned deserve worse as well.
Brian Forgie
This chick is sick she deserves every year she got
We should glue your hands to the wall and see how you feel about it, and oh yeah, kick you in the groin! Lesson learned, have fun in prison psycho!
farside6262
Are you a troll or just a complete moron? 99 years is more than fair for a monster like this. If I were the judge, also would have had her sterilized in case she ever gets out on parole!
There is no such thing as fair when regarding monsters who abuse children. Parole and appeals should not be an option. What they should do in prison is find inmates who are victims of child abuse and (off the books of course, regarded only as a coincidence) room them with these worthless excuses for humans.

What a shock.... Not white, has tattoo that is visible on neck, multiple piercings, 5 kids before 25... If only it was more clear she was a liberal. Gotta get that free welfare and pop out a few more to max out your income without taxes. Hell if she wasn't likely a catholic she could get free birth control that she would use wrong to thwart the 4 incoming pregnancies...
Really? You think people like this have any political affiliation? Also, top states that do not file income taxes vote RED. They voted McCain and will also vote Romney.
Right. So how about we defund planned parenthood so NO low-income families have access to free birth control
Now THAT will prevent all situations like this from EVER happenning.
Oh wait?..... It won't?
But, but... but mittens and lyan said....
R.F.
Who and where are the sperm donors in all of this? They are just as guilty.
Whizerd67
The judge should have let her free on the streets, and declared open season on her by vigilante justice for 48 hours...if she gets away, she's free. That way, anyone trying to help or protect her would get some too...don't need people like her, or people that think that her being beat to within an inch of her life, or further, isn't the right punishment for this crime. Along with absolutely no contact with any child, especially her own, except under strict supervision, and NEVER alone...and no other children born from her can be touched or given birthright by her...ever. (I wanted to just say "never have kids again", but something in my values makes me less cruel about things and more to the point.)
I am however, surprised at the 99 years given...that hasn't been the normal lately. But she does get to go in front of a parole hearing in 30 years. THEREIN lies the only sentencing problem I see with this, and many others like this, case. You are sentenced to 99 years...you DO 99 years! That's how that should work.
But wait...I'm being 'uncivilized" aren't I? *pfft*
~Blessed Be to all~
In closing, I'd like to emphasize that I hope that Jocelyn, and anyone affected by this have the best recovery as possible..mentally and physically.
I felt I should put this in the reply, because that inhuman woman doesn't even deserve to have her daughter's name around anything about HER...even in comments.
effjay
Jocelyn will fully recover. She was just shy of her 3rd Birthday. She won't remember much.
She got what she deserved.
She got nothing of what she deserved.
You don't have to be a despotic dictator of country to be one in life. She is a living proof of it. Her subject were her children. Her rule was cruel, crazy and evil.
Torgo
This sentence was too light. Execution is the only sentence that should even be considered in a case like this.
She effectively got a death sentence if she serves the full term. I don't have a problem with it; in fact, I prefer that she linger on – and on, and on, and on – and gets to spend many, many years pondering her loss of freedom. Killing her is quick, and for her, much easier than serving a long prison sentence.
Blackkat29
I'm glad she's going to prison. Do I think 99 yrs is excessive, probably. My first concern is for the children. I hope she never has the opportunity to lay hands on her children. With so many people out there that want to be parents & cherish a child I find it sad that one who was blessed with them would squander her blessings. My youngest daughter is 2 yrs old & I can't fathom the idea of putting hands on her in anything but love.
A second chance ? Really ? Did this monster gave a second chance to this baby ? Just picture this childs face looking at her mother begin her " please mommy give a chance "as she glued her little hand to the wall ,and hit her to a point to put her in a coma . She is were she needs to be , now she will have to beg the inmates to give her a 2nd chance because they will have no mercy on her .Maybe they will do the same thing to her ....
Leave her in jail for life. She's a waste of space and children are in danger if she is allowed freedom. She should be super-glued to the jail cell wall and beaten.
Sweet baby Jocelyn... I'm so sorry for all you suffered at the hands of that woman who bore you. She is NOT a mother...good mothers PROTECT their young with everything in them, they nurture them, want the best for them and their touch is not to be feared. Clearly, this lady is NOT your mother-at least not any longer!
I do not know your fate but I hope you survived and ultimately will thrive in a loving home where monsters exist only in the occasional bad dream or fairy-tale. God Bless you little one!
each state has theri own laws and penalties. Do you think Sandusky's penalty too light? complain about Pennsylvania. Her sentence too tough? complain about Texas. Each state is different
Her sentence does seem extreme, but I do not know the details of her case... and I am grateful for that ignorance.

Hawaiian Airlines has recently instituted a number of energy saving measures in the air and on the ground, including at its new, state-of-the-art hangar facility in Honolulu.
Encompassing more than 280,000 square feet, the Charles I. Elliott Maintenance and Cargo Facility houses more than 1,100 Hawaiian Airlines employees in Airport Operations, Maintenance, Supply, Cargo, Training and Safety and Security. In keeping with initiatives underway throughout the airline, the new facility also incorporates sustainable practices meant to preserve and protect our island environment.
Among other innovations, we've installed LED lighting on the hangar floor, which improves light levels by eighty percent while using forty percent less electricity. The lights also have a lifespan of more than 100,000 operating hours, which means fewer spent bulbs entering the waste stream over time. To address hot water needs while further reducing electrical consumption, we use propane water heaters to complement a solar water heating system. The facility also has two state-of-the-art Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) air compressors to power aircraft maintenance tools and equipment. These units consume thirty-five percent less electricity than conventional units. Finally, our air conditioning system incorporates digital controls and centrifugal turbine compressors to cool work spaces at a reduced energy cost.
Dr. Larry Kimura, at center in purple, was ourhonored guest on a recent, all-Hawaiian-language flight.
While English has become the international language of aviation, airlines headquartered in parts of the world where it isn't the "mother tongue" tailor their public announcements to the local languages. To commemorate and encourage our host culture, Hawaiian Airlines recently operated a flight to Las Vegas staffed by flight attendants who spoke 'ōlelo Hawai'i (Hawaiian language) in addition to English. Every aspect of this flight — from crew briefing to public announcements to onboard interactions with guests and each other — was conducted using the Hawaiian language.
Guests on our inaugural Long Beach Honolulu route were welcomed aboard in true Hawaiian fashion.
Hawaiian Airlines launched daily non-stop service between Long Beach, California and Honolulu on June 1st using the new, fuel-efficient Airbus A321neo — the single-aisle, mid-range cousin of our Airbus A330 wide-body, long-haul aircraft. Our 'ohana kicked off the new service in true Island fashion at Long Beach Airport with a surprise, gate-side pā'ina (party or gathering) that included a Hawaiian blessing, refreshments, live music and hula. Prior to boarding, guests received an orchid lei and a goodie bag filled with gifts from OluKai, Raw Elements USA and Hawaiian Airlines. A party was also held before the inaugural flight to Long Beach from Honolulu's Daniel K. Inouye International Airport.
Additional A321neo routes between the West Coast and the Hawaiian Islands will be announced as we add eighteen of the new aircraft to our fleet through 2020.

Marijuana Legalization In Ohio Could Raise $554M In Taxes By 2020, Advocacy Group Says
By Philip Ross @ThisIsPRo
A bag of marijuana being prepared for sale sat next to a money jar at BotanaCare in Northglenn, Colorado, on Dec. 31, 2013. Colorado, which began selling legal weed in January 2014, saw $53 million in tax revenue from last year's sales. Photo: Reuters
Legal weed in Ohio could raise more than $550 million in tax revenue for the state by 2020, according to figures released Tuesday by the advocacy group ResponsibleOhio, the organization behind a proposed November ballot initiative that would legalize marijuana for medical and recreational use. The measure is expected to draw debate over whether legalizing marijuana in Ohio would reduce prison populations and provide a steady cash flow to local governments, as the plan's proponents have promised.
"Ohioans already spend as much as a couple billion dollars each year on illegal marijuana, while our communities are simply not seeing the benefits," Lydia Bolander, a spokeswoman for ResponsibleOhio, told the Dayton Business Journal. "That money could be in the hands of local governments and small businesses instead of drug dealers."
The group's projections came from economics firm Burke, Rosen & Associates, based in Cleveland. The figures were based in part on consumption patterns in Colorado, which began selling legal weed in January 2014 and saw $53 million in tax revenue from last year's sales. Ohio's population is roughly double that of Colorado.
In November, Ohio voters could determine whether the state goes all-in with marijuana, legalizing both recreational and medical pot. If passed, the measure would make Ohio the first state to go from total prohibition on weed to full legalization.
However, it's unclear whether Ohio voters would approve a ballot initiative legalizing pot. Support for marijuana legalization in Midwest states tends to be lower than in other parts of the country, including the South. A recent Gallup survey found that just 45 percent of Midwest voters support legalizing marijuana, compared with 47 percent in the South and 51 percent of Americans overall.
Some Ohio public officials would be happy to have the extra cash on hand from legal marijuana sales, but are skeptical about full legalization, according to the Chronicle-Telegram. "We could always use the money, but I just don't think that's the right way to do it," North Ridgeville Mayor Dave Gillock told the paper.

Excerpted from the Daily News: (03/13/2013)
TAMPA — The voice on the other end of the phone was once again that of a joyful winemaker whose lust for life, fun and good spirits has known no bounds.
But as Tom Seaver confided, in and around expressing his elation at what it was like just to feel good again for more than one day, his life over the last nine months has been anything but joyful.
In fact, it's been a living hell of uncertainty, confusion, depression and downright fear. The Mets' "Franchise," author of 311 career victories and the highest vote plurality (98.84%) of any player elected to the Hall of Fame, was back at work at his vineyard in Calistoga, Calif., when I reached him.
"You caught me on a good day," he said. "In fact a very good day because this is the fifth straight day I've felt really good. You have no idea what that means — to feel good, to feel normal, for five straight days."

CHRONOLOGICAL AGE VERSUS BIOLOGICAL MATURATION: IMPLICATIONS FOR EXERCISE PROGRAMMING IN YOUTH.
Biological maturation is associated with significant change to a number of physiological and structural processes throughout childhood and, in particular, adolescence. Mismatched rapid growth in the long bones relative to muscular lengthening may disrupt structure, neuromuscular function, and physical performance. Practitioners who work with school-age youth should be aware of the age-related changes that typically take place during a child's development to ensure that their strength and conditioning programming is as safe and effective as possible for enhancing performance and reducing injury risk. While there are several methods available to assess biological maturation, practitioners who work with youth can benefit from assessment methods that are available and feasible, and that provide utility in the quantification of the degree and stages of biological maturation that affect motor performance in children and adolescents. This manuscript synthesizes the relevant assessment methods, and provides a rationale for understanding usable biological maturation assessment tools that can aid in the development of training program design for youth.

De Otibanda-formatie is een geologische formatie in Papoea-Nieuw-Guinea die afzettingen uit het Plioceen omvat. Het is de vindplaats van fossielen van onder meer grote buideldieren.

Locatie en ouderdom
De Otibanda-formatie ligt aan de oostzijde van Papoea Nieuw-Guinea in de provincie Morobe. Het werd afgezet in een laaglandgebied. De afzettingen dateren van 3,1 tot 2,5 miljoen jaar geleden.

Fauna
De paleofauna van Nieuw-Guinea tot aan het Plioceen is onbekend. De oudste aanwijzingen voor landecosystemen op Nieuw-Guinea zijn plantenfossielen uit het Vroeg-Perm die zijn gevonden in de centrale bergketen. In het Vroeg-Perm was de regio van Nieuw-Guinea een ondiepe gematigde zee. De zuidpool lag destijds ter hoogte van de huidige locatie van Zuid-Australië. Ongeveer 160 miljoen jaar geleden ontstonden tijdens het Jura het huidige centrale deel van Papoea Nieuw-Guinea en delen van het Vogelkop-schiereiland als eilanden. In het Tertiair had de Nieuw-Guinese regio de tropische regio bereikt. Mogelijk waren er intermitterend verbindingen tussen de verschillende eilanden onderling en met Australië.

Er zijn in de Otibanda-formatie fossielen gevonden van een buidelwolf (Thylacinus sp.), buidelmarter (Myoictis sp.), drie soorten kangoeroes (Watutia novaeguineae, Protemnodon buloloensis, P. otibandus), een struikwallabie (Dorcopsis sp.), drie soorten diprotodonten (Kolopsis rotundus, K. watutense, Kolopsoides cultridens), een muis, een kasuaris en krokodillen. Het materiaal van de zoogdieren bestaan met name uit geïsoleerde tanden.

Just an FYI, video playback has not been great for me on Mac Chrome either. Glad you're on top of it Josh and thanks for doing such a great job on both sites.
Apple products are privative, the exact opposite of what internet and computing should be: open. Use Linux.
Hear! Hear! I have 4 distros on my laptop for different purposes — including finding out which one is best for me.
Yes, Safari is awful, if you have an iMac, then definetly use Chrome! I installed it a couple of years ago, and it's worked just fine. I'm using an iMac from 2015 with OSX 10.11.6.
From a web developers' point of view–I am one, Safari is a pretty great browser. Its very fast, it was literally the first browser (albeit 13 years ago) to completely pass the ACID-2 web standards test, and it keeps up with the cutting edge of web standards.
If Safari is lagging behind at all anymore, its because Google split off of the open source webkit project (the HTML/CSS/etc parser) to start their own, making the open-source community that used to power both Chrome and Safari a lot smaller for the Safari crowd.
But again, Safari is a pretty great browser. Dunno why your plugin isn't working, hmu on Discord if you need help.
In 2007, I splurged and bought a MacBook Pro — 17″, non-glare — that set me back $2500 (and that was on eBay!). While it was a good computer, per se [setting aside the absurd changes in the navigation keys from the majority NORM], after only just about 1 day of usage, I IMMEDIATELY downloaded and installed FIREFOX — I literally couldn't use Safari and continue to say I am a computer power user — Safari was THAT BAD. Safari was written to be, exactly as the Apple computers have always been, the opposite of what the majority thinks and uses as tools for digital work.
In 2014, first, the keyboard just stopped working and a couple of weeks later, it's battery EXPLODED — literally.
Today, I use Windows for certain applications that "I can't do without" [like WordPerfect, ECCO Pro and a few others], but my main operating systems are various Linux distros.

Know about Tigers – International Tiger Day
changeadmin
International Tiger Day also is known as Global Tiger Day, is celebrated annually on July 29.
Since the beginning of the twentieth century, there's been a significant decline in the tiger population worldwide. But fortunately, considerable efforts are being made to increase the tiger population across the globe.
Celebrating Global Tiger Day is also part of the efforts in raising awareness around tiger conservation.
History of International Tiger Day
The decision to celebrate July 29 as International Tiger Day annually was taken in the year 2010 at Saint Petersburg Tiger Summit held in Russia. At the summit, the governments of 13 tiger-populated nations signed a declaration and pledged to double the wild tiger numbers by the year 2022.
Primary reasons behind the decreasing tiger population:
Let us first understand the reasons behind the declining tiger population.
Habitat loss:
Due to the increasing human population, the rate of deforestation is on the rise. Clearing the forests for many reasons such as industries, agriculture, etc, has resulted in the loss of about 93 percent of the wild cat habitats.
Poaching and illegal trade:
The wild tigers are prone to the inhumane act of poaching for the production of traditional medicines. There is an increasing demand for tiger body parts such as skin and bone, which has increased the poaching and illegal trade of tigers.
Diseases:
Diseases are also one of the major reasons for the decline of the tiger population. Many animals, including tigers, die due to the spread of certain epidemics such as tuberculosis, Feline Panleucopania, etc.
The rising sea level because of climate change has depleted India's mangrove belt, Sundarbans, which is one of the Royal Bengal Tiger's major habitats.
Importance of Global Tiger Day:
Observing Global Tiger Day is important because, according to WWF (World Wildlife Fund), the world has lost about 95 percent of the tiger population in the past 100 years.
Presently, there are only about 3,900 wild tigers left compared to about 100,000 tigers a century ago. Animal organizations, including WWF, SCBI (Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute), and the IFAW (International Fund for Animal Welfare), organize several events each year to raise awareness about conserving the tigers.
The Success Story of Tiger Conservation in India:
There are approximately 3000 tigers in India presently, which is almost 70 percent of the worldwide wild tiger population. Until the year 2006, the tiger population in the country was about 1,400.
The rise in India's tiger population can be accredited to the introduction of the tiger protection initiative, 'Project Tiger' in the year 1973. It is due to this conservation program that India now has the highest tiger population across the globe.
A detailed report of the Tiger Census-2018 showed that the tiger population in the country has risen by more than 700 tigers in a period of 4 years, i.e., from 2014-2018. As per the report, Uttrakhand's Corbett Tiger Reserve has 231 big cats- the highest tiger population in the country.
Story of Jim Corbett – The hunter and a protector
India is home to 51 tiger reserves and home to 70% of the global tiger population. One of the most visited & famous tiger reserves in India is Jim Corbett Tiger Reserve. The park is named in honor of Edward James Jim Corbett, who contributed extensively towards tiger conservation & wildlife.
This park is located in the foothills of the Himalayas, in Nainital in Indian state Uttarakhand and is the country's first Tiger reserve.
Jim Corbett born in 1875 in Nanital, spent most of his childhood exploring the jungles of Uttarakhand. In the first 20-30 years of the early 1900s, Mr. Corbett was frequently called to hunt many man-eating tigers in the region. Many of these man-eating tigers had killed more than 200-300 humans.
Later on, Jim Corbett discovered that man-eating tigers became human killers because they either carried some wounds, diseases or were injured due to human negligence like wild gunshots. This led him to start the focus on protecting the striped cats and wildlife in general.
He authored many books related to his expeditions, Man-Eaters of Kumaon is one of the most successful books, which was later made as a Hollywood film. His other famous books were My India, Jungle Lore, The Man-eating Leopard of Rudraprayag – this book is also famous because it was Jim Corbett's recount of a man-eating leopard, which was extremely rare.
He was instrumental in establishing the park in the 1930s, the park was initially named Hailey National Park. Later on, around 1955 the park was renamed as 'Jim Corbett National Park', to give a tribute to the man who started as a hunter and then turned into a major proponent of wildlife conservation in India.
Tiger is the National Animal of 4 Countries
The government of India launched an initiative, Project Tiger in 1973 to protect the dwindling population of tigers in their natural habitat. The same year, India declared Royal Bengal Tiger as the national animal of India, replacing Lion.
The royal Bengal tiger (Panthera tigris Tigris) is also the national animal of Bangladesh. South Korea has the Siberian tigers (Panthera tigris altaica) as their national animal. Malaysia has the Malayan tiger (Panthera tigris jacksoni) as the national animal.
Interesting Facts about Tigers
Here is a small video showcasing some other interesting facts about the majestic creatures on the planet.
There is a famous quote, "Where tigers thrive, it is a sign that the ecosystem is healthy." Let's do our bit in conserving and protecting the iconic 'umbrella species' by not promoting – poaching, deforestation, and other factors that lead to the decline of tigers.

Key Differences Between a Native App Builder and a Web App Builder
by Michaela Markley
Digital Strategy, Mobile Marketing
Searching for the right type of app for your use case can be difficult, especially once there is a budget tied to that project. Maybe you have an app of your dreams but you know it just won't work on the tight budget. Well, luckily how you build an app can help to determine the cost bracket you may be looking at. At a high-level view:
Native Mobile App = High Cost, Longer Time to Market
Web App = Medium to Low Cost, Shorter Time to Market
Progressive Web App (PWA) = Medium to Low Cost, Shorter Time to Market
App Builder = Medium to Low Cost, Shorter Time to Market
Let's dive into these three items and look at their benefits and key differences among one another. App builders can be used to build native mobile apps or web apps but we will get into the cost associated with the software and what makes them a wonderful tool to use if you don't have a development team and are on a tighter budget.
Native Mobile Apps
Native mobile apps are what you most likely think of when you first hear the word app. Typically, you need to go to an app store (such as Apple's App Store or Google Play) to download and install the app directly to your device. Most of these apps do not need an internet connection to use the app once it's installed. The reason these apps are called native mobile apps is because they're built specifically for an operating system. (Think Android vs. iOS). These apps can then take full advantage of the device's features because it is made specifically to do so. This could be certain gestures on the device, push notifications, ability to use the camera, etc.
Web apps are apps that run behind URLs that require the user to be connected to the internet to access the web app. The apps can be used between operating systems and devices because they are not built specifically for iOS or Android. This makes them a great option because a company can build the app once and have it work across all operating systems and devices.
Progressive Web Apps (PWAs)
PWAs marry the best of both web apps and native mobile apps into a functionality-rich app that lives behind a URL. PWAs are able to use some of a mobile device's native functionality (geolocation, push notifications, etc.) and also are able to be saved to your home screen at only a fraction of the storage space that native mobile apps require. While PWAs can function like native mobile apps they are stored behind a URL allowing them to rank for SEO, work across all devices and operating systems, and are secured behind HTTPS.
The types of apps discussed above (native mobile apps, web apps, and PWAs) can all be built using an app builder. App builders are a great way to lower costs when developing an app. The foundational building blocks for an app are already built out with app builders. Most app building software is either low code or no code and allows you to build your app without developers. (Calling all citizen developers to be empowered!) Some software will even have a drag-and-drop interface to easily build your own app.
Native app builders can help you build iOS or Android-specific apps. You don't have to find a specific android app builder or iOS app builder but you can find app builders like Good Barber or AppyPie that can help build either iOS or Android native apps through their app building software.
Web app builders will help you build your next app web app that can be hosted behind a URL and be able to be used across all devices and operating systems. Budi Base and Microsoft Azure are two great places to start to look at possibly starting to build your web app.
Progressive Web App builders will help you bring together the best of native and web with the foundational blocks of your app already built out. Lumavate is a great example a web app builder that enables you to easily build your app out as a PWA.
Most app builders are there to help you build your next app, whether it be native, web, or PWA, with a quicker time to market and at a lower cost. Understanding the differences behind the type of apps is going to help you make a decision on what app builder to go with.

Carlos David Moreno Hernández (born 14 June 1986), known as Carlos David, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for Hércules CF as a central defender.

Football career
Born in Mérida, Badajoz, Extremadura, Carlos David graduated from Valencia CF's youth setup. He made his debuts as a senior with the reserves, appearing several seasons in Tercera División and Segunda División B.

On 20 July 2009, Carlos David signed for Belgian Pro League side R.E. Mouscron. He played his first match as a professional on 1 August, starting in a 2–1 away win against K.R.C. Genk. He scored his first professional goals on 5 December, netting a brace in a 2–1 success at K.S.V. Roeselare.

Carlos David left the club in late December 2009 due to its financial troubles, and joined Celta de Vigo's reserve team in the third level the following 15 January. He subsequently resumed his career in the same tier, representing CD Teruel, UD Melilla, FC Cartagena and SD Huesca; with the latter, he notably scored against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, but in a 1–8 away defeat.

On 5 July 2018, after achieving promotion to La Liga, Carlos David terminated his contract with Huesca and signed for Royale Union Saint-Gilloise. Following one year in the Belgian First Division B, he cancelled the two remaining seasons of his contract and returned to Cartagena.

Carlos David helped the Efesé in their promotion to the second division with 20 appearances, but was only a backup option afterwards. On 16 July 2021, he agreed to a one-year deal with Segunda División RFEF side Hércules CF.

-Big Boost for Journalism in Liberia -House of Representatives decriminalizes Speech Offenses
SOURCE: DANIEL NYAKONAH, JR.
(Monrovia, July 3, 2018)- The House of Representatives has voted to pass into law a bill seeking the repeal of Anti- free Speech Legislations in Liberia.
Presenting the outcome of a public hearing on the Bill titled, an Act to amend the Liberian codes revised, penal law of 1978, of the Republic of Liberia, the Chairman of the House Committee on Information, Hon. Jay Nagbe Sloh urged the plenary to pass the bill because its ideal promotes democratic culture.
"What we have not been able to establish is to put a law of this nature or any law for that matter in the name of an individual. We have established that indeed the late brother Kamara have worked too hard for the passage of this law but there are many other ways that the Press Union of Liberia, the Government of Liberia can work together to honor him….."
President George M. Weah in his resubmission of the bill has suggested as when passed by the legislature the Law will be known as the "Kamara Abdullai Kamara Act of Press Freedom.
But Hon. Sloh argued that the former President of the Press Union can be honored through Presidential Investitures, naming of the Press Union of Liberia's Headquarters under construction after the deceased free expression luminary.
"….If you can name that headquarters, the first in the history of the Press Union of Liberia in his honor instead of this law. So we are recommending, the Judiciary Committee and the Committee on Information, Cultural and Broadcasting that we pass the law as is from the President but we should exclude the name of Mr. Kamara."
Montserrado County Representative, Hanson S. Kiazolu differed citing examples in the fields of Accounting and Economics.
"I know the (kenician)…law existed because Henry Kings contributed to it. The …notation is a law in mathematics. He contributed to that law. So if Kamara A. Kamara contributed to the law, I think in the wisdom of the President, he should actually take the name. So I believe my colleagues should vote fort this law and the law carry Kamara A. Kamara name", Hon. Kiazolu stressed.
The discussion on the decriminalization of free speech offenses soon became solely about the significance of honoring fallen former President of the Press Union of Liberia, Kamara Abdullai Kamara after the bill.
Grand Bassa County Representative, Vicent S.T. Willie joined those opposing the repeals being named in honored of Kamara Abdullai Kamara.
"…there are lots of people who fought for free speech in this country and so naming it after the late Kamara it would not be good for those who also fought years back…the committee should have gone further to bring those names of other brothers who fought for free speech in this country and then we could review it, but is it because brother Kamara was the most recent person in our dispensation? I say no! There are other people who survived in previous dispensation that also fought for free speech."
For his part, Bomi County, Rep. Edwin Snowe intimated that apostrophe laws are spread across different jurisdictions and that President Weah selection of Kamara Abdullai Kamara is commendable.
"I want to commend the Press Union and Mr. Kamara, may his soul rest in peace that with his advocacy and his fight for press freedom in Liberia, that this House today will take an action, championing Press freedom and remembering the good work of Mr. Kamara".
After all the disagreements and rejection of a motion for reconciliation, the House of Representatives voted to pass into the full force of the law, an Act to amend the Liberian codes revised, penal law of 1978.
Meanwhile, the Press Union of Liberia has hailed the House of Representatives for the revolutionary work executed for the good of the Liberian Democracy.
Press Union of Liberia, President, Charles Coffey told reporters that the lawmakers' action is in right direction as the country attempts to honor its obligation on guaranteeing free expression.
"We just want to hail the committee for the hard work for the passage of this Bill. We think it is in the right direction and that Liberia will now become a compliant to international convention as regard to media laws," Coffey said.
Liberia signed the Declaration of Table Mountain on 21 July, 2012 as a necessary step towards repealing laws that hinder press freedom and other rights to free speech in Liberia.


It may be surprising that the world's only airline safety rating company is only four years old. What's not surprising however, is that since its inception in 2013, only one airline has repeatedly taken home the honours of the world's safest airline. If it had been around for a hundred years, chances are that this year's winner would still be undefeated.
Yup, as certain as death and taxes, Australia's Qantas remains the safest carrier in the business for 2017, according to Airlineratings.com.
Each year, 425 global airlines are monitored for numerous factors to determine the year's winner. These include government audits, crash and serious incident records, the audit results of aviation's governing bodies and lead associations and age of fleet.
Air New Zealand, Alaska Airlines, All Nippon Airways, British Airways, Cathay Pacific, Delta Air Lines, Etihad Airways, EVA Air, Finnair, Hawaiian Airlines, Japan Airlines, KLM, Lufthansa, Scandinavian Airline System, Singapore Airlines, Swiss, United Airlines, Virgin Atlantic and Virgin Australia.
Also taken into consideration are a carrier's fleet history as well as its track record of safety initiatives and innovation. In Qantas' remarkable 96-year history, the airline still has a fatality-free record while amassing an amazing record of firsts in operations and safety.
It was Qantas that led the development of the Future Air Navigation System, the Flight Data Recorder to monitor plane, and today, even crew performance. Qantas has also led in automatic landing technology, using the Global Navigation Satellite System for precision approaches around mountains in cloud. The airline was also first to monitor its engines across its fleet in real-time using satellite communications, detecting problems before they pose a serious risk.
Aer Lingus, Flybe, HK Express, Jetblue, Jetstar Australia, Jetstar Asia, Thomas Cook, Virgin America, and Canada's very own, WestJet!
So, how safe is air travel overall? Well, 148 of the 425 airlines monitored came out with a seven-star safety ranking – the highest possible. Less than 50 carriers scored three stars or less and 14 airlines bottomed out with just a single star, originating from Afghanistan, Indonesia, Nepal and Surinam.
Taking everything into account, 2016 was the second safest year for flying in aviation history with just one fatality for every 3.2 million flights.

Hammer and Hold je rozšíření pro fantasy bojovou hru Warhammer Diskwars, které přináší 50 nových disků hrdinů a jednotek pro rasy trpaslíků, lesnáích elfů a lizardmenů. S nimi přichází i nová pravidla pro klíčová slova poison, guard a stalwart. Nové epické bitvy můžou začít!
Stalwart allows units to activate to perform ranged attacks or activate focus abilities even while they're pinned. It's truly difficult to keep a Stalwart unit pinned for long!
Still, it's the Dwarfs that are the true stars of Hammer and Hold, and the expansion comes with enough Dwarf heroes and units to muster three full regiments. Fueled by a host of ancient grudges, these tough and stalwart warriors guard their holds and press the fight to their enemies with axes, hammers, runes, and war machines. Dwarf troops stand among the game's toughest units, and their heroes' abilities and command cards allow them to rise to the challenges of any fight.


In 1948, following a decision to invite magazine photographers to participate, the Fifty-Print Exhibition Contest became the News Pictures of the Year Contest. Then, in 1957, the University of Missouri and the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA) merged their respective contests. Through this partnership, "Pictures of the Year" was developed and continued until 2001 when NPPA and Missouri parted ways. POYi is now administered solely by the Missouri School of Journalism, with additional financial support from Fujjifilm, MSNBC, National Geographic and by the entrants to the yearly competition.
In 2001, the Pictures of the Year International Endowment fund was established so as to provide a firm financial footing as POYi increasingly becomes a center for research and discussion and education.

INTERVIEW: Damian Smyth
'There is no I in poet,' says the scribe from County Down
artstalkdamian.jpg
Click play to hear Damian Smyth read 'A Bag for Life from Lidl' from Market Street
The fact that Damian Smyth is 48 years old sometimes gives him pause for thought. 'My brother died when he was 52. Dropped dead. Not everyone lives until their 70th birthday. As time goes on you become aware of these things. They do count. You do start thinking about what you want to say, how you want to say it… and how long do you have to say it?'
Perhaps that melancholy impetus is why the Downpatrick poet and Lagan Press are releasing two new poetry collections in 2010 – Market Street and Lamentations.
Market Street was the book that was meant to be, an experiment in form and narrative that Smyth had been working on for two years. There are over 70 poems in the collection and each poem has 20 'long lines'. Smyth wanted to get away from those 'awful little squares and oblongs you get in poetry books'.
The poems are focused around the eponymous Market Street in Downpatrick, each taking its starting point from a shop or a notional product from the shop. The title has little to do with the content of the poem, although Smyth posits a 'spiritual link' between the two. 'It's a bit Ezra Pound. It's about how commerce between people can take lots of forms.'
The collection also functions as non-linear narrative, both recounting the history of Market Street and exploring how the historical narrative was constructed. 'There are always misnomers and blind alleys,' adds Smyth, 'untruths as well as truths about personality and character.'
Smyth is fascinated by the complexities of small towns in general and Downpatrick, his home town, in particular. It serves, in fact, as the cornerstone of his artistic impulse. All of his poetry collections – Downpatrick Races, The Down Recorder and Market Street – are set in that familiar landscape. Each book is anchored to a particular geographic point, allowing Smyth to map his poetic vision over the physical town.
'Downpatrick is what I want to write about. I have absolutely no interest in anything else except where it touches on that,' Smyth says firmly. 'A lot does touch on that though.'
One of the poems in Market Street, he points out, is about Reverend Edward Hincks, the rector of Killyleagh who translated the Mesopotamian cuneiform that enabled the great inscriptions of Babylonian and Assyrian civilization to be available to the modern world.
'That's just an example of how the world can touch on the local, as much as the other way around,' Smyth says. 'If writing means anything at all it is in writing about something local, true and real at a level that will have something to say to anybody from anywhere.'
This is, perhaps, particularly true of Lamentations, an unplanned book that came about through 'force of circumstance', dealing with the most universal of human experiences: grief. 'It's to do with the impact of grief on that landscape,' Smyth says, meaning the familiar setting of his collections. 'The soul of those three books is Lamentations.'
Some of the laments in Lamentations are personal, although Smyth shies away from the idea of poetry as the confessional. 'People expect to find an awful lot of the word 'I' in a book of poems,' he says. 'Hopefully you won't find too many in Market Street. And where you do, it's not me. It's somebody else.'
Most of the grieving observed is more distant. One poem is about the Boeing 737 that went down on the way to Rio. 'There was a girl – a nurse, or a doctor – from Ballygowan killed in the explosion,' he recalls. 'That brought up an image of how something so high up and so far away could have such an impact on the territory of the books.'
When dealing with grief and loss in Northern Ireland the question about the Troubles begs to be asked. Smyth hesitates before answering it.
'It's there through everything, sometimes more directly than others.' He mentions a poem in Market Street about the crater left – 'for years and years and years' – in the road after a policeman had his foot blown off and others that both directly and indirectly reference the Troubles. There is, he believes, a post-Troubles literature emerging in a less abnormal society, but he doesn't think he'll get there. 'There will always be that shadow on the lung in what I do.'
Damian Smyth's poetry can be purchased in the CultureNorthernIreland Amazon store. Lamentations and Market Street can be found on Lagan Press.

Two Minor Signings of Significance
A couple of relatively minor moves so far today, though they could have a bigger impact on the other teams who didn't sign the players.
The first, and larger, signing came out in San Francisco, where Rich Aurilia reportedly agreed to a minor league deal to return to the Giants, according to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal. Both the Cubs and Phillies were chasing Aurilia as a right-handed bat off the bench, but there's a better chance for playing time in San Francisco's infield than in Philadelphia or Chicago. The re-acquisition of Aurilia could also be a barometer for free agent third baseman Joe Crede. The Giants were one of the hot chasers for Crede, but they've covered their bases with Aurilia and Juan Uribe, which might be enough to make them feel safe.
The other deal worth noting came from the AL Champions, with Tampa Bay inking former Astro Morgan Ensberg, according to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick. He primarily serve as a backup for both third baseman Evan Longoria and first baseman Carlos Pena, though he could also see some time in left field and, in a pinch, at second base.
And don't worry, we did notice the Andruw Jones signing with the Rangers last night. We'll weigh in on that sometime a little later.

Felton Pruett dies; played steel guitar with Hank Williams
SHREVEPORT, La. (AP) — A musician who played steel guitar with country legend Hank Williams on the Louisiana Hayride radio show, and broke his nose roughhousing with him, has died. Felton Pruett was 89 years old.
The Rose-Neath Funeral Home says his funeral will be Saturday in Shreveport, with a graveside service and burial at Bayou Scie Cemetery about 70 miles away in Zwolle (ZWAH-lee).
Pruett died Wednesday. He had played steel guitar for over 70 years.
His wife, Rita Pruett, tells The Times of Shreveport that when Williams moved to Nashville, he asked Pruett to move there, too. She says Pruett was settled in Shreveport with a family, and didn't want to move so far.
He is survived by his wife, one of his four sons, two daughters-in-law, three grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

Chicago Blackhawks Forward Andrew Shaw Announces Retirement; 'Thank You For Giving A Mutt A Home'
By CBS 2 Chicago Staff April 26, 2021 at 9:02 am
Filed Under:Andrew Shaw, Chicago Blackhawks
CHICAGO (CBS) — Chicago Blackhawks forward Andrew Shaw announced his retirement from the NHL on Monday, following a series of concussions.
"There comes a time when every athlete needs to realize their health is a priority and the future with their family is most important. That time for me is now. After several concussions, the doctors strongly recommend that I stop playing the game that I love, and for the first time in my life, I'm going to listen," Shaw said in a video the team posted on social media.
"Thank you for giving a Mutt a home."
A message from Andrew Shaw (@shawz15er). #Blackhawks pic.twitter.com/XAN3L6jv27
— Chicago Blackhawks (@NHLBlackhawks) April 26, 2021

Shaw, 29, won two Stanley Cups in seven seasons with Chicago, and spent three seasons with the Montreal Canadiens. However, injuries severely limited his playing time for the Blackhawks the past two seasons, when he was on the ice for less than half of the team's games.
He hasn't played since suffering a concussion on Feb. 9 against the Dallas Stars.
"Though he has recovered, given the potential long-term consequences of repetitive concussions, we have advised him to discontinue his career as a professional hockey player. The Blackhawks are very supportive of his decision to prioritize his long-term health," team physician Dr. Michael Terry said in a statement.
Shaw was passed over twice in the NHL Draft before the Blackhawks selected him in the 5th round in 2011. Though he was never one of the top dogs on the Blackhawks, Shaw quickly became a fan favorite, earning the nickname "Mutt" for his fearless and rough style of play.
"My first game as a rookie with the Chicago Blackhawks still sticks out in my mind. In my second shift, I had my first fight in the National Hockey League. I followed that up with my first NHL goal in the second period. From that point on, I knew I had a chance to be this team's underdog. A player that could represent the city of Chicago's blue-collar mentality. Be their mutt if you will," he said.

Shaw was traded to Montreal after the 2015 championship, but returned to Chicago in 2019.
Shaw had 75 goals and 76 assists in 362 games with the Blackhawks, winning Stanley Cups with the team in 2013 and 2015, even netting the game-winning goal in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final against the Boston Bruins in 2013.
Over his 10-season career, he logged a total of 544 games with Chicago and Montreal, scoring 116 goals and 131 assists.
"I am extremely proud of what I accomplished in my career, and I want to make it clear that I would not change anything about it. I won two Stanley Cups, made lifelong friends – and some enemies, too – and will cherish those memories for the rest of my life," Shaw said. "Most of all, I will miss the fans. I was lucky enough to play in two of the best hockey cities in the world in Chicago and Montreal, and I am grateful for my experiences with all of you. I gave everything I had every single night, and you're one of the reasons why this is the toughest decision in my life. I want to thank you for giving a mutt a home, and a chance to live out my childhood dream."
Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman said Shaw was an integral part of the team, growing into a leader in the locker room.
"Throughout his 10-year career with the Chicago Blackhawks and Montreal Canadiens, Andrew was always willing to lay his body on the line and put his teammates before himself. He epitomized energy, determination, grit, and toughness and was a player his teammates loved to play with, but his opponents hated to play against," Bowman said.

New Documentary Reveals Robin Williams's Struggle With Parkinson's Disease
A new documentary about Robin Williams' life, "Robin Williams: When the Laughter Stops," will reveal new information about the late actor's health struggles, including his Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Williams died by suicide in 2014.
According to a trailer for the documentary, produced by the cable network REELZ, Williams checked into a rehab facility a few weeks before his death so he could "refocus." According to the documentary, however, Williams was struggling with depression and symptoms related to Parkinson's disease.
"Robin was more worried about the bouts of depression that were consuming him," AMI Vice President and Chief Content Officer Dylan Howard said in the trailer. "While he was happy to talk publicly about his addictions to both booze and drugs, he kept his longer and more personally painful battle with Parkinson's disease all to himself."
When Williams died in 2014, his widow Susan Williams said the impact of Lewy body dementia contributed to his death. He was diagnosed with Parkinson's a few months before his death, but the presence of dementia wasn't discovered until his autopsy, according to STAT. In a 2016 editorial, Susan Williams shared he tried a wide variety of treatments to manage his symptoms, which included paranoia and hallucinations.
"He kept saying, 'I just want to reboot my brain,'" Susan Williams wrote. "Robin was losing his mind and he was aware of it. Can you imagine the pain he felt as he experienced himself disintegrating? And not from something he would ever know the name of, or understand? Neither he, nor anyone could stop it — no amount of intelligence or love could hold it back."
Lewy body dementia, and a similar and nearly indistinguishable type of dementia associated with Parkinson's disease, occurs when a type of toxic protein called Lewy bodies develop in the nervous system, leading to symptoms like difficulty remembering things, issues with thinking and processing information, and hallucinations. There's also a strong connection between dementia and depression. Between 20–60% of those with dementia will experience depression.
The REELZ documentary takes a closer look at his health and Parkinson's disease toward the end of his life through interviews with friends and other media figures. According to a description on the REELZ website, the film also examines the connection between mental health and comedy.
"We examine this brutal and tragic dichotomy, casting its incisive eye on the comedians' personal lives, while separating fact from fiction, creative work from the human being behind it, to probe not just from where their genius sprung — but how that same wellspring often lead to their demise," the website reads.
"Robin Williams: When the Laughter Stops" airs on REELZ Sunday, Aug. 11, at 9 p.m. ET.
