One Season Wonders
Hello, You: The Treatment of Serial Killer Characters Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn
November 3, 2021 by Isabel Maina
Society has a strange fascination for serial killers. We have a desire to understand their psyche and reasoning behind killing, picking apart every detail as if we are psychologists or detectives solving the case. This must be why we are captivated by true crime podcasts, docuseries, and television shows like Criminal Minds. Yet, there is also a romanticization of these killers, most prominently with Ted Bundy, who has gotten a slew of television shows and movies in recent years. But there is one recent show that has taken the world by storm and transformed the way we view serial killers, and that is Netflix's You.
Based off the book series by Caroline Kepnes, the show was developed by Sera Gamble and Greg Berlanti, the former also being the showrunner and credited with writing the majority of the episodes. The first season premiered on Lifetime before being picked up by Netflix, which has released every season since, the third season recently dropping in the beginning of October.
You stars Penn Badly as Joe Goldberg, a man who fixates on a woman, stalks her, and ultimately kills her once the fantasy he built in his head has ruptured. Of course, there are other casualties when someone else gets in the way of his fantasy. But, his primary victim is always women, stemming from his mother rejecting him after he had killed his father to protect her from his abuse. Joe is not supposed to be likable. After all, he's a killer. Badgley has also consistently told viewers, especially the young women and teens who watch the show, that Joe should not be romanticized or glamorized.
In season two, a new character was introduced by the name of Love Quinn, played by breakout TV star Victoria Pedretti from The Haunting of Bly Manor. Although we get hints of it throughout the season, it isn't until the finale that it is revealed she is a killer too, although her motives are far different from Joe's. The audience gets to see Love at a greater extent in season three, with her exerting her violent side more than we've ever seen before. Nevertheless, the way the two of them are written—as individual characters, and as a couple— certainly plays into how men and women are treated in this world. The fact that Joe and Love also happen to be killers adds to that, because there's a stark difference in how male and female serial killers are viewed by society at large. Yes, it has all to do with sexism, toxic masculinity, and patriarchy. Just like everything else in this world, those three overarching ideologies have a lot of control on how people are viewed, and how as individuals we interact with each other.
Prior to Love, our focus is solely on Joe. He has an extremely high standard for women, wanting them to live up to the ideals he believes makes up a perfect woman. Yet, even when he fixates on someone, he criticizes their actions, taste in men, and unwillingness to see that he could treat them better than anyone else. These women are multi-dimensional, with personalities, history, and yes, faults, resulting in Joe not seeing them as a full person. He blames them for their faults while being blind to his own. At times, it seems like he doesn't believe he has any. This was how he was with Beck. She was certainly a flawed individual, just like everyone else on this planet, but Joe's narcissistic and slightly male chauvinist behavior ultimately leads him to believe that she was not the one for him. Simply because after time, Beck saw Joe for who he really was. A man riddled with toxic masculinity, misogynistic tendencies, and deeply rooted trauma that has influenced the way he acts towards and treats women. Unfortunately for Beck, her realization of who Joe Goldberg is leads to her demise.
When Love is introduced as Joe's new fixation, we slowly learn that she is much different than Beck. She has a dark, traumatic past herself, relating to Joe in a way Beck never could. Love's journey in season two culminates in her killing both Delilah and Candace to protect Joe from being found out. That is the first difference between the two killers. While Joe kills for a need to protect himself and his idea of a perfect woman, Love kills to protect those she cares about, although sometimes it is in a jealous rage. We see that jealousy frequently in season three, starting right in episode one when she kills their neighbor Natalie, who Joe was beginning to fixate on.
What I noticed in the third season is that there was a significant distinction in how their killings were viewed. Echoing what I said earlier, sexism, toxic masculinity, and patriarchy plays an enormous part in that. Joe has a heightened sexist view towards Love and her actions throughout the season, repeatedly calling her crazy and impulsive. Two things that women are often called by men who aren't able to self-reflect and acknowledge their own toxicity. Joe was just as impulsive as Love this season, yet he doesn't view it as such. It was aggravating watching him act like an almighty person who could do no wrong while he continued to push Love aside, especially when he developed a new fixation on the librarian Marienne. He put all the blame on Love, and his attitude towards her became progressively more manipulative towards the end of the season, when he decides to run away with Marienne and his son Henry, leaving Love behind.
On the other side of that, it was sad to see Love making these choices to preserve her and Joe's relationship, not realizing until it was too late that he no longer felt the same way she felt about him. She believes she is doing the right thing as well, because she believes herself to be a protector of her husband and son. Love has always been someone who craved being seen and being loved. In the beginning of her and Joe's relationship, he satisfied both cravings. But, that slowly dwindled and she became hungry for it, constantly seeking validation from him, and taking it out on the Madre Linda residents who were getting more attention from him than she was.
In the season finale, there is a beautiful moment between Love and Marienne, where the latter says how loving yourself is the most important thing and that you don't need a man to be happy. It's as if you see the wall breaking down in Love's eyes when she hears those words from the person she was about to kill. At that moment, she realizes she doesn't need Joe. But, before she is able to rid him of this Earth for good, he unfortunately is able to outsmart her and kill her instead. Truth be told, I was hoping she would kill him. His former fixation taking him down so he's unable to fixate and hurt anyone else would have been incredible. Alas, that is not how it went, and Love's story comes to a close.
Going into the next season without Love will be an adjustment for sure. She was an incredible addition to the show, primarily because the audience was able to see the dichotomy of the male and female serial killer. I would not be surprised that now she's gone, Joe will have more spite in his heart, and his fixations and killings will show evidence of that. Although he now recognizes, at least partially, why he is the way he is, and has accepted it, continuing to see his character act in a narcissistic, sexist manner will remain unchanged for me, and I hope that he meets his maker. If Love couldn't do it, though, it's difficult to say who can. Nevertheless, You has done a fantastic job highlighting the complexities of these killer characters, while also creating a distinction between the two, and acknowledging that the majority of the time, they will be intoxicatingly unlikeable. We can't help but be drawn to them; be intrigued at what makes them tick. That is why the show has become so successful. We can thank Sera Gamble for that. Joe Goldberg and Love Quinn are two characters that will live on long after the show ends.
All three season of "You" can be streamed on Netflix. Happy binging.

Pakistan Bans TikTok over 'Immoral and Indecent' Content
DON EMMERT/AFP/Getty Images
The Pakistan Telecommunications Authority (PTA) on Friday blocked the controversial Chinese video streaming app TikTok because it allegedly failed to filter "immoral and indecent" content — Prime Minister Imran Khan was reportedly involved in the decision.
According to the PTA, "a number of complaints from different segments of society" were made about "immoral and indecent" content shared on TikTok. The PTA issued a "final warning" about "obscenity, vulgarity, and immorality" to TikTok in July, when another streaming app called Bigo was banned on similar grounds.
A few weeks before that, the PTA banned the popular online videogame Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) over complaints that it was "addictive" and harmful to the physical and psychological health of children. Critics asserted the PTA had no legal powers to ban an application on those grounds.
The PTA used similar language when it denounced TikTok for its "extremely negative effects on society in general and youth in particular."
The Pakistani government wasted no time implementing its decision. The TikTok app went completely blank all across Pakistan within minutes of the PTA's announcement. The PTA said it would be willing to reconsider its decision "subject to a satisfactory mechanism by TikTok to moderate unlawful content."
The PTA has been somewhat vague about exactly what sort of offensive content TikTok is allowing, although a spokesman for Prime Minister Khan cited the "exploitation of female TikTokers" and "the objectification and sexualization of young girls" when the final warning was issued in July.
Reuters reported on Friday that Prime Minister Imran Khan "took a keen interest in the issue" and has been urging Pakistani telecom agencies to work harder at blocking immoral content.
"PM Imran is extremely concerned about the growing obscenity and vulgarity in the society and has directed all the relevant sections to stop the trend before it destroys the socio-religious values of Pakistani society," Information Minister Shibli Faraz said in a September interview.
"He is a man who has spent his life in the West and thus understands the strength of our social and cultural values, which must be protected," Faraz said of Khan.
The information minister summarized the Khan administration's approach to indecency as, "What I wouldn't want my own daughter to do, I will not allow to be done by someone else's daughter and sister."
"We have been in regular communication with the PTA and continue to work with them. We are hopeful to reach a conclusion that helps us continue to serve the country's vibrant and creative online community," TikTok said in a statement about the Pakistani ban.
"We have robust measures to help ensure a safe and welcoming platform for users, including easy mechanisms to report content that violates our terms of use and comprehensive Community Guidelines, which are available in Urdu," the company said.
TikTok counts Pakistan as one of its largest markets worldwide. Company representatives claimed over three million videos have been deleted from its Pakistani network for violating community guidelines.
Critics of the PTA's decision accused the government of scapegoating the streaming service for widespread social problems, as in the case of assassinated former prime minister Benazir Bhutto's daughter, Bakhtawar Bhutto-Zardari:
Immoral content is not on tiktok, it's embedded in our sexist society where women cannot wear yoga pants on tv or drive at night, & children are picked up & assaulted. Have deteriorated so much. Look what's happening in madrassas, in open public spaces- the problem is NOT tiktok.
— Bakhtawar B-Zardari (@BakhtawarBZ) October 9, 2020
"The government blocking an entertainment app that is used by millions of people, and is a source of income for thousands of content creators, especially those coming from smaller towns and villages, is a travesty to democratic norms and fundamental rights as guaranteed by the constitution," said internet rights advocate Usama Khilji.

When choosing an oven, you need to consider several factors. First, it is important to consider your budget to determine how much you are willing to spend on a range. Once you have determined your budget, then a few questions remain: Do you use the oven extensively? How important is the look and style of the range? And finally, is the performance of the cooktop important to you? Anyone looking for a new oven would do well to consider the Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess.
What Is the Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess?
Once you have answered these questions, selecting a range is relatively easy. The kitchen range industry is a very competitive market today; therefore, you will find several great products that will fit into almost any budget. In this article, we will review the Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess. We will take a closer look at its features, design, price, and style. We will also compare it to some similar products on the market to see how it stacks up.
The Kitchen Aid kfgg500ess is a mid-price, free-standing gas range manufactured by Kitchen Aid. On first glance, this range lacks some of the aesthetics other many other similarly priced gas ranges. The design is somewhat basic even for a free-standing model. The cooktop features four main burners and a fifth center burner. The cooktop also features two continuous cast iron grates.
Unlike many other gas ranges, there is no way to use a third grate or griddle with the center burner as it is covered by the two standard grates. The burners are rated from 5,000 to 18,000 BTUs with the front two burners being high powered burners. The cooktop controls are front mounted and have more of a unique round shape rather than the traditional knob appearance.
The oven controls are rear mounted on a touch panel that functions like a smartphone. This user interface is designed to be very responsive, unlike most oven panels that can take two or three attempts to push the buttons that you want. The oven features a 5.8 cubic foot capacity, seven rack positions, and broil and roast settings. Also, the oven features a convection fan for more even cooking and reduced cook times.
Also, Kitchen Aid has designed a conversion system they call "EasyConvect" that automatically converts conventional baking times to convection times which takes the guesswork out of unfamiliar dishes. The oven also features the "Aqua Lift" self-cleaning system that uses low heat and water to clean the oven in about one hour. There's no more extremely high heat and bad odors from a self-cleaning oven! Also, the baking element is hidden making cleaning much easier. The cooktop performance is outstanding with very fast boil times and precise temperature control.
The only drawback of the cooktop is the unusual design of the center burner making it relatively useless unless you're using a large griddle that covers the entire cooktop. The oven's performance is also very good. Burgers, biscuits, and chicken are cooked to perfection in this oven in no time. If you value performance over style and are willing to overlook the issue with the center burner's design, the Kitchen Aid kfgg500ess is a good choice.
The Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess is a 30-inch free-standing gas range. The exterior is wrapped in stainless steel, and the cooktop features five burners. The cooktop burners range in power from 5,000 BTUs to 18,000 BTUs. Two cast iron continuous grates cover all five burners on the cooktop. The oven capacity is 5.8 cubic feet with seven rack positions. The oven burner is rated at 18,000 BTUs of power and features bake, broil, and roast settings. The oven also features convection cooking, and a self-cleaning function that uses steam and low temperatures to clean the oven compartment.
This free-standing range is designed to fit into any standard 30-inch counter space.
The Kitchen Aid KFGG500ESS is priced right around $1,300 which puts it in mid-price range for a free-standing gas range. Aside from the basic design, the features and performance of the KFGG500ESS make it a very good value at this price.
The KFGG500ESS is priced at about $1,450, making it a good value when considering the performance and features this range offers.
The KFGG500ESS by Kitchen Aid is very easy to use with its responsive oven control panel and self-cleaning oven. This range is very user-friendly.
Performance is where the KFGG500ESS sets itself apart. The powerful cooktop front burners boil water very quickly and the cooktop controls temperature very precisely. The oven also features some of the fastest bake and roast times we have seen.
While the features and performance of the KFGG500ESS are very good, the visual appeal of this range is minimal. This range has a very basic look that may not blend with some kitchens.
Kitchen Aid offers a one-year limited warranty on this range which is the industry standard for this type of product.
The Whirlpool WEG750H0HZ is a 30-inch slide-in gas range manufactured by Whirlpool. The cooktop features five burners with a long center burner and included griddle burger, pancakes, or fajitas. The cooktop burners range from 5,000 BTUs to 17,000 BTUs of power and the burners are covered by two end-to-end cast iron grates that make moving cookware around very easy. The oven features an overall capacity of 5.8 cubic feet and features a single convection fan. The oven has bake, broil, and roast settings as well as a convenient self-cleaning feature.
The controls are front mounted with the cooktop burners being controlled by stainless steel knobs, and the oven is controlled by a touchscreen user interface. This range is compatible with Whirlpool's "Scan-to-Cook" technology that allows you to scan a barcode with your smartphone and send cooking settings to your oven. This range has a very sleek and stylish design and performs very well. Overall, this model is a bit more expensive than the other models we are reviewing, but its features, style, and performance make it an excellent buy.
This Whirlpool range is priced at around $2,150 making it rather expensive in comparison with the other models we have reviewed.
The WEG750H0HZ is very easy to use with its intuitive touchscreen user interface and smartphone-compatible technology. This range is loaded with features to make your life easier.
This Whirlpool range performs very well with fast boil times, precise temperature control, and excellent oven performance. This is a very well performing range.
The WEG750H0HZ is very well designed. The touchscreen user interface and "Scan-to-Cook" technology are two of the features that make this range stand out. The oven capacity is average, but that's really the only drawback.
Whirlpool offers a limited one-year warranty on this range.
The Kenmore Elite 76033 is a 30-inch free-standing gas range manufactured by Kenmore. The 76033 features a five burner cooktop with two cast iron grates and an additional griddle that can be used with the center burner. The cooktop burners range from 5,000 to 17,000 BTUs in power. The 76033 features a dual oven configuration with a total overall capacity of 6.1 cubic feet. The upper oven is 2.2 cubic feet, and the upper oven is 3.9 cubic feet of space. The oven features a convection fan, self-cleaning mode, and bake, roast, and broil settings.
The controls for the cooktop are front mounted, and the oven control panel is rear mounted and features a push button design with an LED display. The Kenmore Elite 76033 has a stylish look which will blend well into most kitchens. The oven's cook performance is very good—the cooktop boil times are fast and temperature control is very precise. Overall, the Kenmore Elite 76033 is a well designed range that's performance won't disappoint.
The Kenmore Elite 76033 is priced right around $800 to $810, making it a mid-priced gas range with features of a more expensive model.
This range is very easy to use with its dual oven design that makes baking multiple dishes a breeze. Also, the included griddle is great for cooking burgers or pancakes on the cooktop.
The Kenmore 76033 has excellent cooktop performance with fast boil times and excellent temperature control. The oven's cooking performance is also very good.
This is a very well-designed range that is sturdy but stylish. It has a dual-oven configuration that makes life easier on someone that uses the oven extensively.
Kenmore offers a limited one-year warranty with this product.
The LG LDG4315ST is a 30-inch double oven free-standing gas range manufactured by LG. The cooktop features five burners with two cast iron grates and a removable griddle for the center burner. The cooktop burners are rated from 5,000 BTUs to 18,500 BTUs of power. The oven has a total capacity of 6.9 cubic feet. The controls for the cooktop are located on the front and the oven controls are rear mounted on a push button panel with an LED display. Also, this range features LG's "Smart ThinQ" technology that allows the oven to connect to a smartphone app for cook settings and other features.
Ultimately, the LG LDG4315ST features a stylish design with good smart features but falls short on overall performance.
The LG LDG4315ST is priced right around $1,800 to $1,850, making it somewhat more expensive than most free-standing ranges, but with smartphone connectivity, the price tag is understandable.
This range is very easy to use with its dual oven and self-cleaning feature that make kitchen chores less of a hassle.
The oven's performance is somewhat disappointing with uneven heating and slow cook times. The cooktop performance is better, but only average when compared to other free-standing gas ranges. It won't be too hard to find a less expensive oven with better cooktop performance.
This range has basic look to it; however, the cooktop is very well designed with an elongated center burner with removable grate and griddle accessory. The most disappointing issue regarding design is that the smartphone app leaves lots to be desired. This is especially unfortunate considering that the smartphone compatibility is likely a big reason for this oven's larger price tag.
LG offers a limited one-year warranty with this product.
The Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess is a very well designed range that has a somewhat basic look to it, but the features and performance make this range a good buy. If you are in the market for a gas range and value performance more than looks, the Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess is a good choice.
The Kitchen Aid Kfgg500Ess is a very well designed range that has a somewhat basic look to it, But the features and performance make this range a good buy.

Radiographic Imaging and Finite Element Modeling Methods for Analysis of the Basilar Thumb Joint
Norton_ku_0099M_16309_DATA_1.pdf (2.869Mb)
Norton, Nolan Matthew
Copyright held by the author.
Laxity of the stabilizing ligaments, specifically the anterior oblique ligament (AOL) and the dorsoradial ligament (DRL), is believed to play a major role in the development of osteoarthritis (OA) of the basilar thumb joint. Increased laxity of the stabilizing ligaments is believed to contribute to cartilage degeneration through dorsal translation of the metacarpal, increased shear stresses, and a shift in contact to areas of weaker cartilage. Stress radiographs during functional tasks, such as key pinch, can be used to help assess joint instability. Eleven cadaveric specimens were rigged to simulate key pinch, and a mobile C-arm was used to take a series of radiographic images with the joint capsule intact, opened, and after transection of the AOL. Images were taken from the anteroposterior (AP) view up to 60⁰ toward the ulnar aspect of the arm to determine which angle allowed the best assessment of subluxation. The AP view showed the maximum amount of subluxation in a majority of the specimens. Subluxation significantly correlated with radiographic grades of OA but did not correlate with visual/arthroscopic grades of OA. Transection of the AOL did not have a significant effect on subluxation. Three-dimensional modeling techniques, such as finite element modeling, can be used to measure in vivo contact mechanics without disrupting the joint capsule and other supportive soft tissues. Models could have future clinical diagnostic and research applications, but they must first be validated against experimental data. Three specimens underwent MRI scanning in "relaxed" and "pinch" configurations to create finite element models for intact and open joint capsule simulations of key pinch. Model results were compared to experimental data collected by electronic sensors. Only measurements for contact force met validation criteria, and contact area was overestimated in every specimen. Contact measurements were not significantly affected by opening the joint capsule, but all four contact measures trended upward after opening the joint capsule. This supports the need for continued refinement of validation experimental methods and the benefits of computational modeling for future studies of contact mechanics.

Apple has announced that they are expanding the iPhone Recycling Plan so will now include Best Buy Stores in the United States and KPM locations in the Netherlands, which will greatly increase the number of places where customers are able to return their old devices for proper recycling. In the past, you could only recycle and iPhone through an Apple Store or Apple's Online Site.
The company has developed a number of custom-build robots known as "Daisy" that disassembles recycled iPhones. Daisy can disassemble 15 different iPhone models as of now (increased from 9 in 2018). It can take apart 200 iPhones per hour. So far, Apple has claimed that nearly "1 million devices have been received through the Apple Recycling Programs" – hopefully this expansion can lead to more phones being recycled.
In addition to this, Apple has announced a new Material Recovery Lab in Austin, Texas, which will work to try and develop new recycling processes to improve on its existing recycling efforts so that Apple can make sure that it's making the most out of each phone and reduces their waste in the future.

Uber to Launch Operations in Benin City this Month
By TrueNews	 July 9, 2019 No Comments
Barring last-minute changes, global ride sharing giant, Uber, will launch operations in Benin City this month, further swelling the ranks of global ride sharing companies operating in the city.
This comes after weeks of engagements between government and Uber officials and finalising modalities for the smooth takeoff of the service in Benin city.
The Edo State Skills Development Agency (EdoJobs) is already leading the charge with the recruitment of riders on the platform.
Senior Special Assistant to the State Governor on Skills Development and Jobs Creation and Head, EdoJobs, Mrs. Ukinebo Dare, said that the launch would take place at the Edo Innovation Hub, and Governor Godwin Obaseki is expected to grace the occasion.
According to her, "We are working with Uber to finalise modalities for the takeoff of the service in Benin City. We are excited because this helps in getting people meaningfully engaged. As you know, Uber gives car owners the opportunity to make some money with their cars. But we are keen on the job-creating feature of the service as well."
She said the launch takes place on July 24, and would host a number of dignitaries within the state and beyond, noting, "We expect to have a full house. Early in the day, we will have a chat with journalists and afterwards, the governor takes the zero ride. That would mark the start of the service in Benin City."
She added that the state government is collaborating with Uber to also recruit drivers through its expansive database, calling on people interested in the service to sign up to enjoy its immense benefits.

Mississippi law history
On January 8, the US Supreme Court refused to review two cases challenging a Mississippi law that would permit businesses and government employees to deny services to Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual And Transgender (LGBT) people to safeguard a persons' sincerely held religious beliefs and moral convictions.
The bill, entitled "Protecting Freedom of Conscience from Government Discrimination", was passed in the Mississippi legislature in 2016. It mainly aims to "protect sincerely held religious beliefs or moral convictions" related to marriage and sex. Such protected beliefs are: "(a) Marriage is or should be recognized as the union of one man and one woman; (b) Sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage; and (c) Male (man) or female (woman) refer to an individual's immutable biological sex as objectively determined by anatomy and genetics at time of birth."
The bill states that under the specified circumstances, the government may not take prejudiced action against a state employee for speech associated to the protected religious beliefs and moral convictions. These speeches include refusing to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples.
The law, passed by the Republican-controlled state legislature and signed by Republican Governor Phillip Bryant with the backing of conservative Christian activists, has not yet been implemented and more legal challenges are expected, according to gay rights lawyers.
"We will keep fighting in Mississippi until we overturn this harmful law, and in any state where antigay legislators pass laws to roll back LGBT civil rights," said Beth Littrell, a lawyer with gay rights group Lambda Legal.
The applicants of the two lawsuits, combined as one, contended that the bill violates their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights as it permits certain religious beliefs and discriminates against those who do not hold those same beliefs. The US Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit reversed the district court's grant of an injunction, discovering that plaintiffs did not have standing to bring the lawsuit because they had not yet suffered injury as a result of the law.
The plaintiffs appealed the circuit court's decision, but the Supreme Court denied review without explanation.
Mississippi's law was one of a series of measures proposed in socially conservative, Republican-dominated states that gay rights advocates viewed as an attempt to undermine the high court's gay marriage ruling.

Chelsea vs Brighton preview: Blues sweating on Kante
Team news, stats and prediction ahead of Chelsea vs Brighton in the Premier League on Wednesday; kick-off 7.30pm.
Chelsea boss Thomas Tuchel must decide on whether to start striker Romelu Lukaku after his goalscoring return off the substitutes' bench in the 3-1 win over Aston Villa.
Lukaku has been blighted by an ankle injury and then Covid-19 since October and while Tuchel was delighted with his impact, he said it was "not fair" to force him back into action for a full half.
Tuchel admitted his celebrations at Villa Park were tempered because of his concerns surrounding his players' health, having also lost N'Golo Kante and Thiago Silva to injury – and both are set to miss the Seagulls encounter.
Ben Chilwell (knee) remains out while Kai Havertz (match fitness), Timo Werner (illness) and Ruben Loftus-Cheek (ankle) will be assessed.

Brighton must wait to discover if influential forward Leandro Trossard will be fit for their Premier League trip to Stamford Bridge.
The Belgium international set Albion on course for the 2-0 Boxing Day win over Brentford with a delightful volley before being withdrawn at the break due to a hamstring issue.
Seagulls head coach Graham Potter described the substitution as precautionary but is unsure whether key man Trossard will be available for Wednesday's visit to Stamford Bridge.
Danny Welbeck – who replaced Trossard – and Steven Alzate came on in the second period following three-month absences and will be pushing for starts.

Jones Knows prediction
I'm very pro-Brighton in this one. The market is far too skewed towards Chelsea, who can be well left alone at 4/11 with Sky Bet. This should be a very tactical affair with both teams vying to control the game through possession and expert organisation at the back where chances are hard to come by for the opposition. That is seen through both teams defensive processes over the past 12 months in the Premier League. If you run the numbers since Thomas Tuchel was appointed in January, Chelsea (0.8) and Brighton (1.02) sit second and third respectively in the expected goals against per 90 minute charts with only Manchester City (0.7) faring better.
It's that defensive structure shown from Brighton that is providing the platform for them to consistently trouble the top-ranked teams in the Premier League. The 2-2 draw with Liverpool at Anfield from earlier this season being a perfect example. The big caveat with Brighton is that they are a very untrustworthy team in front of goal which does make the outright away win hard to fancy in this one despite 8/1 with Sky Bet being available.
However, in their last 23 games against teams that finished in the top-nine of the Premier League last season, Brighton have only lost three games by more than one goal. Included in that run was a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge last season where Graham Potter's men had more shots and corners than their top-four chasing hosts. That means I'm more than happy to back Brighton with a 2 handicap goal start, meaning we'll win if Brighton win, draw or lose by one goal.
SCORE PREDICTION: 0-0
BETTING ANGLE: Brighton 2 handicap (4/6 with Sky Bet)
Opta stats
Graham Potter speaks after Brighton's 2-0 win over Brentford that stopped a 12-game winless run for the Seagulls.
Chelsea have never lost a league game against Brighton, winning 10 and drawing two of their 12 games. It's the most the Blues have faced an opponent without ever losing in their league history.
Brighton have never scored in six away league games against Chelsea (D1 L5), with last season's 0-0 draw their first ever point at Stamford Bridge. In English Football League history, only two sides have ever faced a side more often on the road without scoring – Bradford Park Avenue vs Leyton Orient (8) and Barrow vs Northampton Town (7).
Having lost eight of their first 12 Premier League away games in London (W2 D2), Brighton have lost just three of their last 13 visits to the capital in the competition (W2 D8).
Brighton have never led in eight Premier League meetings with Chelsea. In the competition's history, only two sides have faced another more without leading for a single minute – Sheffield United against Manchester City (10) and Portsmouth against Chelsea (14).
Chelsea have lost their final league game in just one of the last 18 calendar years (W12 D5), losing 3-1 at home to Aston Villa in 2011.
Brighton lost their final league game of 2020 (0-1 vs Arsenal), last losing such games in consecutive calendar years in 2011 and 2012.
Chelsea have shipped five goals in their last four Premier League home games, more than they had in their previous nine combined (4). The Blues haven't gone five league games without a clean sheet at Stamford Bridge since April 2017.
Brighton have lost just once away from home in the Premier League this season (W2 D5), having lost each of their last three on the road in the 2020-21 campaign. However, the Seagulls are winless in their last six away league games, having won their first two this season.
Chelsea have scored 3 goals in nine different Premier League games so far this season, with only Liverpool (10) doing so more often than the Blues.
Chelsea midfielder Jorginho has scored 10 Premier League penalties in 2021, a record in a single calendar year in the competition. Meanwhile, of players to have netted at least 10 Premier League goals, the Italian has scored the highest share from the penalty spot (89% – 17/19).

As the rate of computer and internet related crimes continues to rise (viruses, email scams, identity theft), cell phones are not often thought of as a hotbed for crime activity. When using a smartphone connected to both the world wide web and landline telephone systems, your mobile phone can be just as accessible to thieves as your home or work computer. Mobile email, banking, bill payments, and other shortcuts can all give criminals direct access to your personal information at the touch of a button.
There are several steps that can be taken to tighten security on your smartphone or iPhone. You may not be able to stop a thief from stealing your phone, but, with a little extra time, you can take all protective measures to keep your information secure if your phone should turn up missing.
Applications such as Facebook, online banking, and mobile bill payment programs usually remain open once the user has logged in. If someone were to walk by and pick up your phone, they would have instant access to all of these applications and any personal information located within. This can easily be prevented by simply logging out when you are finished with each program. By spending a few extra seconds logging in and out, you can save yourself a lot more than time in the long run.
Use the security features you are given.
Almost every phone has some type of password that can be activated, requiring the user to type in a code before they turn on a phone or wake it from sleeping. While typing a code every time you use your phone may be an inconvenience, it is the easiest way to secure your phone from a thief, and, best of all, it is free.
-iPhones have an optional feature that will wipe the device after 10 failed password attempts.
-Symbian run phones have a setting that completely locks the phone if another SIM card is inserted.
Consider furthering security through the use of third-party software. These programs are set up to track your phone from another location and some even offer remote access to you phone. Some applications are free, while others can run upwards of $20.
Clear it before you trash it.
Old phones that are thrown away or sold usually still contain past owners' data somewhere in the phone. Even if you think you have deleted everything and there is nothing left in the phone that connects it to you, you might be wrong.
Completely delete all contacts, emails, photos, videos, and text messages from your phone.
Conduct a "factory reset" or "zero-out reset" to ensure that your data has been securely erased.
Consider recycling your phone to further ensure your security. Trusted companies such as CollectiveGood recycle mobile phones free of charge.

Learn about NIPT and its role in assessing the chromosomal structure of a fetus.
The Non-invasive Prenatal test is used to detect chromosomal abnormalities such as Down syndrome in fetuses.
Since the blood is only drawn from the mothers arm, it is non-invasive. Hence it eliminates the risk of miscarriage.
It does not give a Yes/No answer but only gives a probability of the baby having a disorder but it is highly accurate.
It can be done anytime after 10 weeks of pregnancy.
Sometimes there are chances of a false-positive or a false-negative or an indeterminate result.
What is NIPT for Down syndrome?
Non-invasive Prenatal Testing (NIPT) is a prenatal screening, which looks at DNA from thebaby's placenta in a sample of the mother'sblood to identify whether the mother isat increased risk of giving birth to a child with a chromosomal disorder. A screening like NIPT cannot, however, determine for sure whether thebaby actually has a chromosomal disorder, only the likelihood of having that condition. But even though it can't tell for sure whether thebaby has a genetic abnormality, it is highly accurate — 97 to 99 percent accuracy for three of the most common conditions. – Down syndrome, Edward's syndrome, Patau syndrome.
The results of an NIPT screening can help determine whether to have a diagnostic test like Chorionic Villus Sampling (CVS) or amniocentesis . CVS and amniocentesisanalyse a baby's own genetic material, collected from the placenta or amniotic fluid respectively, to tell with 100 percent certainty whether a baby has a chromosome abnormality. However they are invasive, which means they slightly increase the chance of miscarriage.
When is the testdone?
NIPT can be performed any time after 9 weeks into thepregnancy — earlier than any other prenatal screening or diagnostic test. In comparison, nuchal translucency screening is done between weeks 11 and 13; CVS is done at 11to 13 weeks; the quad screen is completed between weeks 15and 21; and amniocentesis is usually performed between weeks 16 and 20.
What will NIPT reveal?
The results of an NIPT will indicate the likelihood – or risk factor – that thebaby has one of the abnormalities tested for and does not provide a "Yes/No" answer If thebaby has a high likelihood of having an abnormality, the obstetrician may suggest a diagnostic test, such as CVS or amniocentesis.
NIPTs only test for certain chromosomal abnormalities. They can't detect major malformations such as spina bifida (defect in the baby's spine), so the mothershould still have an ultrasound at around 12 weeks to see how thebaby is developing.
The mothercan choose to have an NIPT instead of a first trimester combined screening test, which combines an ultrasound and a blood test. A combined screening test is not as accurate as an NIPT, which is claimed to have an accuracy rate higher than 99 per cent.
Some patientschoose to have an NIPT after another first trimester screening test returns a high-risk result.
How do NIPTs work?
NIPT works by analysing fragments of DNA from the baby, which are naturally present in the mother's blood stream. These fragments are called cell-free DNA (cfDNA).
Digital analysis of this cfDNA can identify babies with the following chromosomal abnormalities:
Trisomy 13 – Patau syndrome.
Trisomy 18 – Edward's syndrome.
Trisomy 21 – Down syndrome.
Sex chromosome abnormalities involving X and Y chromosomes.
The results are reported as a probability. A low-risk test result would be less than 1 in 1,000 likelihood (or a 0.01 per cent chance that the baby has the abnormality), while a very high-risk result would be 1 in 2 likelihood (or a 50 per cent chance thebaby has the abnormality).
As it is only a screening test, if the result shows a high likelihood of a chromosomal abnormality, it's still necessary to carry out a diagnostic test, such as CVS or amniocentesis, to determine whether the baby actually has the abnormality.
NIPT results are usually returned within 15 days if thesamples are sent overseas for analysis.
How is NIPT done?
Because an NIPT involves only a quick blood draw from the mother's arm with a needle and syringe, it's safe for the motherand the baby. The sample is then sent to a lab, where the baby's DNA fragmentsin the blood is analysed for signs of abnormalities.
Are there any risks with having an NIPT?
An NIPT is done via a blood sample from the pregnant woman, so the risk of any complications is very low, and it doesn't have the same risk of miscarriage as a invasivetest.
Sometimes the test can fail because the amount of cfDNA in the blood sample may be too low to be analysed. Levels of cfDNA gradually increase with gestation so trying again is an option.
What results can we get from NIPT for Down syndrome?
There are three possible results from NIPT for Down syndrome:
Positive: Predicted to be affected by Down syndrome. An invasive test should be offered to confirm the result.
Negative: Highly unlikely to be affected by Down syndrome.
Inconclusive: Inconclusive results. This is usually because the proportion of fetal DNA present in the sample is not high enough to give an accurate result. NIPT may be repeated with the hope that the cffDNA levels will have increased due to the increased gestation.
Accuracy and reliability of NIPT
The NIPT is still a highly accurate screening test that gives a risk factor, not a diagnosis.
NIPT can be used as screening tests for low-risk and high-risk women. As the chance of genetic disorders increases with age it's expected that older women would benefit most from testing and may be able to avoid invasive tests.
There are a number of reasons why false positive results happen; for example, if the test is done early in the pregnancy, it may detect DNA left over from a vanishing twin that has been absorbed by the mother or by the surviving twin. In rare cases, maternal cell-free DNA may be mistaken for the baby's, and the mother's genetic problems may be attributed to the baby.
If the mother is overweight or obese, there may be too little baby DNA in her blood, which may cause a false negative test result or an indeterminate result.
There is another possible reason for inaccurate NIPT results: cell-free fetal DNA comes from the placenta, and there are sometimes "cell lines" that grow in the placenta but not in the baby. This may cause a false negative test result if an abnormal cell line is present in the baby but not present in the placenta, or a false positive if present only in the placenta, not in the baby.
How does NIPT detect Down syndrome?
People normally have 23 pairs of chromosomes in each cell (see the karyotypebelow left). Each chromosome is made of a coil of DNA which contains genes. These give instructions to thebody to tell it how to work. Down syndrome occurs when a person has an extra copy of chromosome 21 (see the karyotype, below right). Having this extra genetic information is what causes the malformed physical and mental characteristics of people who have Down syndrome.
NIPT also checks for,
Trisomy 18 – Edward's syndrome - a condition that causes severe physical and mental abnormalities; it is the result of an extra chromosome, known as trisomy-18
Trisomy 13 - Patau syndrome - a rare but serious condition where babies rarely survive for more than a few days; it is the result of an extra chromosome, known as trisomy-13.
Each chromosome has sequences of DNA that are specific to that particular chromosome. Therefore, by analysing and counting all the DNA sequences that link or map to each individual chromosome, the total amount of chromosome 21 in the mother's blood can be compared with the amount of the other chromosomes. If the baby has Down syndrome, there will be slightly more sequences that map to chromosome 21 than expected, indicating that there is more chromosome 21 present than normal. This allows very accurate prediction of pregnancies where the fetus is likely to have Down syndrome.
Cell-free fetal DNA (cffDNA) comes from the placenta. It is first detectable from about 4-5 weeks' gestation and reaches the required level needed to test for Down syndrome by 10 weeks' gestation in most pregnancies.
How is NIPT different from the combined/quadruple test?
Although both tests involve a sample of maternal blood, NIPT analyses the cell-free DNA in the mother's blood, whereas the combined and quadruple test analyses the mother's hormone levels. With more than 98% accuracy, NIPT is more accurate than the first trimester combined test or second trimester quadruple test for estimating the chance or the risk that the baby has Down syndrome.

The Match 32 of the VIVO Indian Premier League 2019 will see Kings XI Punjab welcome Rajasthan Royals at Mohali. KXIP failed to bolster their chances of making it to the Playoff position with a defeat at the hands of Royal Challengers Bangalore. Rajasthan Royals, on the other hand, got back to winning ways by stunning Mumbai Indians in their own backyard.
Weather Conditions 26℃, 24% Precipitation, 59% Humidity, Winds up to 10 km/hr. Thunderstorms expected.
Toss Advantage Team chasing has won only 4 of the last 15 matches played at Mohali.
RR– No major injury, although Ashton Turner has been conspicuously absent from the squad.
Chris Gayle, KL Rahul, Karun Nair, Sarfaraz Khan, David Miller, Mandeep Singh, Sam Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Murugan Ashwin, Andrew Tye.
Ajinkya Rahane (C), Steve Smith, Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler (WK), Ben Stokes, Rahul Tripathi, Krishnappa Gowtham, Jofra Archer, Shreyas Gopal, Jaydev Unadkat, Dhawal Kulkarni.
Kings XI Punjab had a glorious chance of bolstering their chances of making it to the Play off. However, they failed to overcome 8th placed Royal Challengers Bangalore. Their biggest shortcoming in the disappointing defeat was an underperforming batting lineup. While Chris Gayle (99*) kept on fighting on one side, he didn't ample support on the other.
KL Rahul (18), Mayank Agarwal (15), Sarfaraz Khan (15), and Sam Curran (1) all failed to capitalize on the home advantage. The total could have easily passed the 200-run mark. The bowlers then failed to dismiss Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers at the right time.

Rajasthan Royals had a successful outing at Wankhede, having successfully chased down a stiff target of 188 runs. They were thankful to Jos Buttler, again, for bailing them out of a sticky situation again. The English wicket-keeper's timely knock of 89 runs, along with Ajinkya Rahane and Sanju Samson's 37 and 31, was enough to complete the shocking victory over MI.
However, the one thing that RR can improve is their middle-order. The Royals almost lost the match having lost four wickets in the space of just 1.5 overs late in the contest. Had it not been for Shreyas Gopal's sensible 13, things could have been different for RR.
KXIP will be the favourites to win this contest, considering squad depth and home advantage.
PCA Stadium will have plenty of runs, and wickets. Thus, choosing a balanced squad (4 batsmen, 2 all-rounders, 4 bowlers) makes sense. Chasing teams have a high chances of winning the contest, so choose maximum players from the team batting second.

Flair, or extreme bartending, is a choreographed entertainment performance put on by bartenders involving cocktail shakers and bottles among other tools.
The act involves the mixing of drinks using visually exciting moves, similar to juggling. For example, rather than simply shaking a cocktail shaker to mix a drink, the shaker will be thrown in the air along with other items, such as bottles, to add to the effect. The marks of a good flair bartender are a good combination of cocktail mixing knowledge, and an athletic, visually stunning performance.
Flair is used in cocktail bars to dazzle customers, and is employed at events as an exciting promotional aid. Flair bartending is also performed in a competitive field, known as Exhibition Flair. In Exhibition Flair, the emphasis is less on the serving of drinks, but more on the visual flair and exciting moves performed.
Flair is all about speed and skill, which is why we've got a wide range of flair equipment to get you practicing. To get you started we offer a selection of flair DVDs and flair courses, perfect for any budding flair bartender.

Manchester United new-boy was desperate for move
by Brad Pinard share
8/9/2013 | 08:45am
New Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has revealed how he was always looking for a transfer away from Everton this summer, as reported by Sky Sports.
The Belgian international helped his country comfortably beat Scotland on Friday which ended the perfect week for the 25 year old.
Fellaini's move to Old Trafford narrowly beat the 11pm deadline last Monday which finally gave David Moyes his first big signing since his own summer switch from Goodison Park.
The combative midfield man knows he will have to fight for a place in the United midfield but admits it was always his aim to push through a move across the North West in the summer.
"It was a great week for me. It was nervous on Monday, but I have my transfer and I won with Belgium, so I'm happy.
"When I started the campaign with Everton, I looked forward for a transfer and in the end I am happy.
"I look forward to playing with the players. I need to work hard for my place. I want to win something with Manchester. I want to play a lot of games and win a trophy.
"It will be tough, every year it is tough for the big teams. But I think Manchester United have quality to win the trophy. I look forward to this.
"It's a big step for me. But I have played for five years in England, I know the league and I know the players, so I don't think I will have a problem with this move."

This year has certainly had its ups and downs, but it gave us a lot of great music – if you want to see our pick of the best albums of 2018, go check out our previous post on Insanity's picks for our favourite records of the year! And with a new year, comes a new list from Insanity's Music Team – our Class of 2019! These are the bands and artists that caught our attention in 2018, and that we feel are going to break out in 2019 and make it big. Check out our top 15 recommendations now, because if you don't, you're going to regret it – get those bragging rights in early.
PUSSYLIQUOR
FOR FANS OF: Sleater-Kinney, Dream Wife.
Unapologetically loud and unapologetically feminist, London/Brighton punk band PUSSYLIQUOR are taking down the patriarchy one fierce song at a time. Releasing their debut EP, WHAT OF IT, in 2018, and gaining a quick reputation across both cities due to their incendiary and electric live shows, PUSSYLIQUOR are set to take this even further in the coming year, and we for one can't wait.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They'll be headlining Egham's very own Forester's Arms on Saturday 26th January as part of the REBEL GIRLS night! Tickets are £3 advance or £5 on the door.
Hotel Lux
FOR FANS OF: The Stranglers, Sleaford Mods.
Hotel Lux have rapidly become one of London's most exciting new bands, appearing out of the same South London scene that's given us bands such as Shame, and Goat Girl in recent years- and yes, Hotel Lux are every bit as great as their rocking predecessors. Dealing with often macabre subject matter, the band craft gritty, deliciously dark 'pub rock', with the release of a phenomenal single, 'The Last Hangman' in November 2018. The release of the single also coincided with their first ever headline gig; no doubt what will be the first of many.
CATCH THEM LIVE: The band will finish up 2018 playing at Brixton's Windmill for New Year's Eve, with their only as-of-yet announced gig of 2019 being a support slot for the superb Dilly Dally at Brighton's Hope & Ruin on January 31st.
FOR FANS OF: Pavement, Miles Kane.
It's hard to put into words the sheer chaotic energy that explodes at every show by West-London-Via-Cambridge band Sports Team. They've gained a reputation for whipping up their often sold-out crowds into a frenzy with their own brand of guitar music, led by frontman Alex Rice, who leads the band through – and helps create a lot of – the frantic unhinged performance that their fantastic live shows have become known for. They released a cracker of a debut EP, Winter Nets, in 2018, followed up with a run of great singles, including 'Margate' – and to celebrate, took bus-load of fans down to the titular seaside town for its release. Above all their punk chaotic nature, Sports Team, are, at their heart, here for a good time – and they make sure their audience has one too.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They've just announced a huge headline tour throughout March 2019, including a date at Camden's iconic Electric Ballroom on Friday 22nd March.
Amyl & The Sniffers
FOR FANS OF: Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols.
If you're looking for irreverent punk that makes you want to equal parts have a boogie and yet also smash something up, then look no further than Aussie band Amyl & The Sniffers. They almost literally tore down London's Moth Club earlier this year, and when listening to 'Cup of Destiny', a fantastic release from 2018, it's clear to see why. It might be heavily steeped in the tradition of classic three-chord punk, but the way that Amyl & The Sniffers do it makes it feel so incredibly fresh and new, with absolute barrel loads of energy. 'Cup of Destiny' really goes for it on every level, which is really the entire ethos of the band summed up in one – it's loud, it's cheeky, and it's very, very good.
CATCH THEM LIVE: No 2019 UK dates have been announced for the Aussie punks as of yet, so keep an eye out.
King Nun
FOR FANS OF: Jaws, Spring King.
2018 has been one hell of a year for indie-punk-rockers King Nun. Signed to Dirty Hit – the label responsible for The 1975, and Pale Waves amongst others – the band released their debut EP, I Have Love, to huge acclaim from fans and critics alike. The EP shows how carefully the band have improved and honed their sound since their first singles, making this anything other than just another standard indie record, and landing King Nun a very well deserved spot on our list.
CATCH THEM LIVE: No upcoming dates as of yet, so again, one to keep an eye out for.
FOR FANS OF: Loyle Carner, Rejjie Snow.
Bakar's debut mixtape, which dropped in early 2018, is difficult to pin down musically – which just adds to its charm and utter, utter brilliance. Borrowing just as much from the punk history of his native Camden as he does from the hip-hop he's been a lifelong fan of. It blends seamlessly, creating something so unique – something so incredible Bakar, that he's gained a whole load of industry attention along the way from the likes of Vice, Fred Perry, and Clash. It's indie, but it's not just indie – and it's not just punk, or hip-hop, or rap either. It's a seamless mix, like only Bakar can make.
CATCH THEM LIVE: No dates announced as of yet.
FOR FANS OF: Octavian, Kojey Radical.
Bringing a bold complexity to the UK grime scene is Northampton born rapper, slowthai. Breaking onto the scene with his debut track 'Jiggle', which he admits he made as a joke, it nevertheless set him on the path to becoming one of the most exciting up-and-coming rappers in the UK scene. The past year has seen him play shows with a whole host of established acts, including a support slot for the Kent punk duo Slaves, and when listening to slowthai's latest release, 'Doorman', it's clear to see why. He spits brilliantly theatrical, socially aware lyrics over a beat that harks back to the classic days of punk, and it's immediately obvious why he's being tipped for great things in 2019.
CATCH THEM LIVE: Catch him around the UK this spring, including a London date at York Hall in Bethnal Green on April 1st.
Fontaines D.C
FOR FANS OF: The Fall, IDLES.
Prowling around the stage like a young, Irish Mark E. Smith, Fontaines D.C. frontman Grian Chatten delivers line after line of barked, poetic disillusionment, all against a sea of raging guitars and thrashing post-punk. Having been praised and shouted about by the likes of 6 Music's Steve Lamacq, and fellow punks Shame, who took them on tour with them across the UK, Fontaines D.C. have released a steady stream of phenomenal singles throughout 2018, culminating in the December release of 'Too Real', which despite its late arrival, made many people's end of year lists. With rumours of an album to be released some time in 2019, Fontaines D.C. have well and truly made their mark on not just Dublin, but in fact, the entire music scene.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They're playing London's the Garage on the 17th of April, but it's already sold out so try and catch them in Brighton at the Haunt on the 18th instead.
FOR FANS OF: The Blinders, The Orielles.
Sorry are a chameleonic band, refusing to ever fit into one style of music – not at the whim of some label or manager, but because at the heart of the band, is a desire to simply make the music they want to, regardless of what that sounds like. Blending fuzzy, woozy guitars alongside beats more reminiscent of electronica – particularly noticeable on early 2018's '2 Down 2 Dance' – they released the incredible 'Starstruck', a perfect blend of all the influences that the band draws on. They've released a number of demos, known as the Home Demo/ns tapes, further igniting the anticipation for their first full-length (as of yet, unannounced, but we can hope) album.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They'll be playing at Camden's iconic venue, Dingwalls, on the 28th March.
FOR FANS OF: Phoebe Bridgers, Dermot Kennedy.
Building on her well-received debut EP, Something American, the singer released a whole host of brilliant singles this past year, finishing up with the incredibly catchy 'Love Has All Been Done Before' at the end of the year. 2018 has seen her play festivals up and down the UK as well as a US tour, and has garnered her press attention from the likes of Rolling Stone, DIY, and NME – the latter of which compared her to '90s icons Alanis Morissette and Courtney Love, as well as folk and ballad legends Bob Dylan, and Leonard Cohen. They completely hit the nail on the head there, as her music seamlessly transitions from the riff-driven 'Uh Huh', to the folk-drenched, emotional 'Furious', brilliantly showcasing the young singer's ability to change her sound to something just-as-brilliant in a split second.
CATCH THEM LIVE: No solo gigs announced as of yet, but she's been announced for Neighbourhood Weekender in May, and Tunbridge Wells' Black Deer Festival in June.
FOR FANS OF: Tom Grennan, Clean Cut Kid.
Previously tipped as one of the BBC's Sound of 2018, the singer-songwriter is fresh off winning the Critic's Choice at the BRIT Awards. November saw the release of his debut EP, Dead Boys, with the titular title track summing up his music's whole ethos – that he's different from other guitar and indie bands, with his songs dealing with social consciousness and political awareness, and issues such as mental health, and toxic masculinity. Personally, he strives to bring a new light to guitar music, with lyrics dealing with important, real life concerns as opposed to the regurgitated banality he's often been outspoken against.
CATCH THEM LIVE: He'll be playing the Electric Brixton on the 28th February.
FOR FANS OF: Talking Heads, Death Grips.
Black Midi are something of an enigma. They rapidly became one of – if not the most – talked about guitar bands on the London scene, despite having no tracks online or able to listen to anywhere up until the release of 'bmbmbm' in May. As it is with most phenomenons, stories about their incendiary live performances and captivating noise-rock have passed on through word of mouth, leaving them a band that you desperately need to see to believe.
CATCH THEM LIVE: Their entire tour unsurprisingly sold out ridiculously quickly, so you won't be able to make it to their January 25th gig at London's Bloc, but keep an eye out for any future announcements.
flirting.
FOR FANS OF: Alvvays, My Bloody Valentine.
East London's flirting. are providing anxiety pop to the masses. As much as a group therapy project as they are one of the finest shoegaze-y, dreampop-y bands currently around, they released their debut EP, This Would Be Funny If It Were Happening To Anyone But Me in 2018, which features some incredible tracks, most notably the soft-yet-biting 'Lilac', and 'Peppermint', that is at times heartbreaking, and at others akin to what Sonic Youth would be doing if they too were twenty-somethings living in East London in 2018. If indie-art-rock-with-an-edge is your kind of thing, then look no further than flirting.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They haven't announced anything as of yet for 2019.
FOR FANS OF: Blaenavon, Superfood.
Indoor Pets have had a very mixed year. Formerly known as Get Inuit, they announced a debut album, set for release on March 8th, played a whole host of dates up and down the UK alongside Bad Sounds – and had £10,000 worth of equipment stolen from their van. Many bands would crumble when being hit with such a loss, but not Indoor Pets – they sprung back, better than ever, with the help of a fundraiser selling tea towels to fans, and released 'Being Strange', a belter of an indie-rock track from the power-pop group that, if this is anything to go by, sets up very, very big things for the release of Be Content in 2019.
CATCH THEM LIVE: They'll be playing their biggest London headline show to date at Scala on April 17th.
FOR FANS OF: Wolf Alice, Hinds.
First breaking onto the scene with their 2017 single, 'Ants', the Los Angeles glam rockers released their debut, self-titled album early in 2018, and bolstered this growing acclaim with a slew of shows that started to get the band noticed for the notoriety of their in-your-face, wild performances. Indebted to punk pioneers like the legendary Iggy Pop, Starcrawler are as much known for their blood-spitting (yes, literally) and antagonistic live shows as they are for their grungy, glam-dripping rock, and together, it culminates in a band that are set to make huge, very stormy waves in the coming year.
CATCH THEM LIVE: As of yet, no tour dates have been announced.

The Deluge: Preparing for Floods and Tsunamis
Current Events November 23, 2021
Floods in the Philippines
The Philippines is a tropical country that experiences 20 typhoons on the average per year.
The archipelago only has two seasons: the dry season from December to May; and the rainy season, from June to November.
The rainy season plus the number of typhoons that hit the Philippines every year makes flooding a perennial problem in the country.
In Metro Manila alone, several areas have been identified as flood-prone areas.
These are high-risk areas during the rainy season and for most local government units, preparation for floods has been a strict requirement.
Some cities have set standard flood alert levels to use as a warning system to the residents to identify when evacuation should be carried out to avoid endangering lives.
Floods can cause outages, damage structures like buildings and houses and create landslides.
How to prepare for floods
If your area is under a flood warning, move to a higher ground and seek safe shelter immediately.
Avoid walking, swimming or driving through flood waters.
Fast moving flood water can knock you down or sweep your vehicle away.
Also, stay off bridges over fast-moving water because there is a danger of this flood water overflowing.
If you live in a flood-prone area, it is best that you make a plan for your household so that your family would know what to do, where to go and the things that you need to protect yourselves from flooding.
Find out where your evacuation routes and nearest shelters are and the number to call in case you need to be rescued.
Prepare your supplies, including non-perishable foods, water supply for several days and other necessities in case you need to evacuate.
It is also necessary to keep important documents in a waterproof container and create password-protected digital copies.
Have a power supply source ready if services are cut off in your area.
Make sure to have a mobile device and a powerbank to stay connected.
What are tsunamis?
Aside from being susceptible to typhoons, the Philippines is also a country frequented by earthquakes, thus making it prone to tsunamis.
A tsunami is a series of gigantic ocean waves caused by earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, underwater landslides or even asteroids.
Tsunamis can travel 20-30 miles per hour and can have waves as tall as 10-100 feet high.
Its large waves can cause floods and can destroy buildings and infrastructures and cause injuries and death to people.
How to survive during a tsunami
Tsunami warnings often come after an earthquake to coastal areas.
If you are under a tsunami warning, go to higher grounds as far away as possible from the coast.
Stay alert to signs of tsunamis such as a sudden rise or draining of ocean waters.
Especially after an earthquake, monitor emergency information alerts.
Evacuate immediately as soon as you see any natural signs of tsunami or receive an official tsunami alert.
Similar to other disasters, it would be good to have a family emergency plan for those who live in coastal areas, before a tsunami strikes.
Prepare plans for evacuation, communication and location to meet in case you get separated.
Find out if there's a community evacuation plan.
Pick shelters that are at least 100 feet above sea level or at least one mile away from the coast.
Make sure everyone in the family knows the numbers to contact in case of emergency, and, if possible, every member of your household should have fully-charged cellphones and powerbanks.
In case you are in the water when a tsunami happens, grab onto something that floats such as a raft, tree trunk or door.
If you happen to be in a boat, face the direction of the waves and head out to see.
If you are in a harbor, you must go inland, as far away from the coast as possible.
Natural disasters usually happen at an unexpected time.
The key to surviving it is knowing the dangers and how to avoid these dangers through planning and preparation.
It is also best to stay connected and have a dependable means of communication when disaster strikes.
Choose from Smart's Signature plans or load with GigaLife app and take advantage of its call and data promos to make sure that your communication lines are available in times of emergencies. #StaySafe #StaySmart

Aloha Synergy! I hope this message finds you happy and healthy, ready to enjoy a great holiday season and ready to make the most of this month— the last of 2013!
#1: Realize that you are not going to let the holiday season become a shutdown season. The weeks around Christmas and New Years are called by wise, successful people the "secret weapon week." They can be your most productive and most rewarding. Half the world is doing nothing but watching crazy videos on the internet. They're on holiday from work or, even if they're working, their mind isn't in it. They are checking emails and taking phone calls. It's a great time to reach people.
#2: Keep your team learning and growing. Maintain your usual weekly calls, webcasts or whatever your do that works. Recruiting events shouldn't stop in December. If they fall on Christmas or New Years, move them forward or backward a day, but keep the routine going for your team. Throw in some Christmas cheer and make them your most memorable and impactful events of 2013.
#3: Do some gardening. Yes, in the middle of winter I think you should do some gardening, and by that I mean you should be planting seeds! As you're attending holiday parties with colleagues and holiday dinners with family and friends, be listening. You're very likely going to hear from a lot of people complaining about their boss or job, wishing they were doing something more meaningful, and (lots of them) talking about the financial strain the holiday season has placed upon them. Don't make your pitch over the honey-baked ham. Just let them know you have something that might help them, and you'll be following up within a few days.
What you do this month will be remembered in your commission check next month and for many months to come. You will look back on December and be glad you pushed yourself to do a little bit more. I sincerely wish you that kind of happiness, that lack of regret, and all the rewards you deserve. I hope everyone has a happy, safe, productive and memorable holiday season. Cheers!

There are all the more opportunities for those who are equipped with technical knowledge. Earlier it was believed that those who go for science stream after their 10th standard has a lucrative career ahead, the ones who go for the commerce stream are not likely to grab very good opportunities and there is very little scope for those who go for humanities. This did hold good until a few decades back but not now.
There is I hate animal abuse shirt immense scope in every stream these days. Here are the various career opportunities available based on the stream you choose. Here is a look at the courses/ career opportunities available for students who opt for science stream: You can pursue a degree in engineering post 12th standard. There are numerous fields to specialize in when it comes to engineering. Electrical engineering, electronics engineering, chemical engineering, mechanical engineering, civil engineering, petroleum engineering, aerospace engineering, biotechnology engineering, mining engineering, textile engineering, agricultural engineering, production engineering, power engineering, and marine engineering are among some of them.
A qualified engineer in any of these fields can work as a consultant, assistant engineer, chief engineer or supervisor. Besides, one can go for a B.Sc. degree such as B. Sc. in physics, chemistry, mathematics, biotechnology, forestry, IT, computer science, aviation and electronics to name a few. You can build a career in teaching or research and development after pursuing any of these courses. BCA is a good option if you have a technical bent of mind.


Sins of a Ruthless Rogue by Anna Randol | Got Fiction?
I expected a typical Regency with a jilted angry hero who's come back for revenge (one of my favorite plots), but I was treated to a kidnapping, a spy, a Russian setting and a heroine who really isn't as good as she seems. In fact, she has a big secret, and for once, it's really a Big Secret, not so much a Big Misunderstanding.
Clayton is an apprentice at 15 year old Olivia Swift's father's paper mill. The two fall in love and then disaster strikes. Clayton finds out her father is counterfeiting bank drafts. He immediately tells Olivia, and warns her that he's going to the authorities. She believes her dad must have made a horrible mistake, obviously her father wouldn't be involved in criminal work. Or would he?
Clayton is taken to prison and her father tells Olivia he was hanged. Soon after, her father falls ill, and Olivia (who is a very typical selfish teenager) bails for London until she's forced to see what ignoring the town and Mill has done to the people there. This changes Olivia. Thinking some good can come out of this, she sets her mind to running the Mill and seeing the villagers thrive.
10 years later, a dead man walks into her life.
Clayton wasn't hanged, nor was he in prison. He'd been a spy (not a spoiler-this is all known by the 3rd chapter). Not the glamorous kind like James Bond, but the kind dragged from a prison and sent in to do work they wouldn't send a dog in to do. And it made him hard. He had to be. And now he's bought all the debts Olivia's Mill owes, and is calling them in. He will ruin her father (unknowingly ruining Olivia, since she's the one who runs it and owes the money).
Almost immediately after that, Olivia is kidnapped by some Russian thugs who believe that Clayton made contact with her because she's in his spy ring. I kind of wish we'd seen more of Olivia before Clayton came back into her life. The majority of the story takes place in Russia, which is very cool. And there are some great characters.
However it's a little convenient that Olivia speaks Russian (since for the most part they speak in Russian the whole book).
But I felt like the whole "Clayton's going to ruin the Mill" hanging over their heads bothered me. Because it was such a tiny piece of what was going on, it was annoying to see it used to drive their distrust of each other forward.
But the action-packed plot and the mystery were really great and enjoyable. It kind of reminded me of the movie The Saint, with Val Kilmer a bit, and I do love that movie! I also think that while Olivia started out spoiled and childish, that she grew up and learned the value of hard work. This could have gone on to make her look like a Mary Sue, but with that Big Secret, it kind of made her more real. She made a choice, telling herself that the ends justified the means…but they maybe didn't. It's the best part of the book, seeing Olivia as not-so-perfect.
This book has so many things that work for it, and I think if anyone's in the mood for a Regency Romance set in Russia with a princess, an emperor, a bad guy, a bad guy who maybe isn't all the way bad, and a feisty heroine, go for it, this one's for you!

– dwudziesta druga z 53 stacji szlaku Tōkaidō, położona obecnie w mieście Fujieda, w prefekturze Shizuoka w Japonii.

Historia
Fujieda było miastem zamkowym hanu Tanaka. Dodatkowo była to shukuba leżąca na drodze biegnącej do produkującej sól Sagary. Fujieda rozwijała się jako handlowe miasto i w okresie swojej największej świetności posiadała 37 gospód hatago (lub hatagoya).

Klasyczny drzeworyt ukiyo-e, autorstwa Hiroshige Andō, przedstawia stację jako miejsce, w którym można zmienić konia i umożliwiające szybkie przesyłanie informacji i towarów pomiędzy Edo i Kioto.

Na początku okresu Meiji mieszkańcy obawiali się powstającej tu linii kolejowej ze względu na dym z parowozów, który mógłby zaszkodzić tutejszym plantacjom zielonej herbaty i postanowili zatrzymać budowę torów. W związku z tym obecna stacja Fujieda położona jest trzy kilometry od starego miasta.

Obecne władze Fujiedy próbują przywrócić klimat shukuby, organizując corocznie festiwal Fujieda-juku.

As the piece begins to take form in small vignettes, episode 8 of inlayers explores how the dancers start to question their involvment in dance on a deeper level.
In episode 7 of inlayers, the dancers take a second go at the improv where they had to chose a word to describe each other dancer's energy and try and get them to work in the opposite direction.
In episode 6, The dancers take on more contact improv and Taryn asks them to chose a word that describes each person and what type of energy they bring to the work.
In episode 5, the dancers review the existing material then take part in their first contact improv as a group.
The dancers were given a key word that Taryn pulled from their personal stories regarding what consumes them.
Infractions is expressed in a series of six fractured scenes (Box, Container, Box2, Tusk, Pelt, and Limb) that explore themes of taming and containment, expressing an ambiguous dance between resistance and dependency.

Branded to Kill
(Koroshi no rakuin) (1967)
Directed by Seijun Suzuki
Artistic & Entertainment Value
After Hanada (Jo Shishido), the Number Three Killer in the Japanese underworld, botches a murder, he becomes involved with the mysterious and deadly woman who hired him to commit it and runs afoul of his employers, who send their Number One Killer to put an end to his life.
Seijun Suzuki's Branded to Kill is a generally well made and consistently engaging work, but it is not as visually distinctive or as inventive as are some of the director's other projects. While the viewer is likely to be enthralled both by the violent world and strange characters with which Suzuki presents him, for whatever reason, the director is never able to bring these various details together into a truly satisfying whole.
Taken individually, the movie's action sequences are almost all exciting and well choreographed, and its moments of tension, as when Hanada is trapped inside his apartment by the Number One Killer and reduced to a state of sweaty, drunken fear, are potently evocative. Even Suzuki's depictions of flashes of brutal, often desperate sensuality are pervaded by a tangible sense of both alienation and anger. The movie is, in fact, filled with a variety of affecting incidents, and, even though the director is never really able to unify them successfully, their quick succession does prevent the viewer's attention from wavering.
While Branded to Kill is never as well crafted or as suffused with an intoxicating loveliness as are some of Suzuki's other works, such as Tokyo Drifter and Pistol Opera, it is still a memorable and evocative film. The moments of beauty with which the movie is enlivened, and its odd peculiarity, as the scene in which Hanada is shown walking beside sheets of animated rain, while not among the most stunning the director has created, are genuinely appealing and do give the film a distinctive quirkiness that always holds the viewer's interest. By so engaging the viewer, by drawing him into a strange, almost dreamlike world of terrible wrathfulness and crippling fear, Suzuki is able to raise the events narrated in the movie above the mere doings of nasty, forgettable thugs and to imbue them with a real epic quality. The viewer, having been transported to this peculiar, rarefied world of utter cruelty and terrible beauty, is so separated from that of ordinary experience that he is further submerged in and entranced by the fear and the wrath manifested by the director's violent characters. Branded to Kill is, consequently, an entertaining, even captivating film.
