57th Favorite: When I Was Born for the 7th Time, by Cornershop
Posted on November 6, 2016 | 4 Comments
When I Was Born for the 7th Time. Cornershop.
1997, Warner Bros. Producer: Tjinder Singh, Dan the Automator, Daddy Rappaport.
Purchased 1997.
IN A NUTSHELL: An album that is really hard to categorize, featuring everything from turntablism to country to raga. UK-born Tjinder Singh leads his group through style after style, but keeps the music fun and tethers it to its trance-inducing Hindi roots. It's music that's hard for me to adequately describe – my usual "guitar/bass/drums" verbiage doesn't really work. But I like the way it sounds – it makes me feel young!
In about six months I'll turn 50 years old.
I've always equated "fifty" with "elderly." Sometime around 1985, there was a contest sponsored by Canada Dry to win $1,000,000 OR: a date with Joan Collins. Collins was a TV star whose best work is generally agreed1 to have been her role as the villain "The Siren" in the 1960s TV show Batman. By 1985, however, she was the star of some ridiculous – and ridiculously popular – nighttime soap opera called Dynasty. Winning a date with a star has been a time-honored Hollywood tradition for years, but what was interesting about this contest was that the prize wasn't some young, teenage heart-throb, but a fifty year-old woman. FIFTY!!! (Or a million dollars.)
I was in my first year of college, and my fellow 18 year old, male, heterosexual (I think) friends and I were aghast. "Who would take the date with a 50 year old??" we wondered. It was an age older than most of our mothers. Only one of us claimed we would take the date, and he did so because "I'd want to see if I could [share intimate physical contact with] her." (He also later spent time in prison, not that it matters. (Although maybe it does.)) The rest of us were further aghast. FIFTY was old.
FIFTY IS OLD. It's the age you become AARP-eligible, a fact that has been exploited for laughs by American spouses for 30 years, a membership being the ultimate BIG 5-0 gag-gift, as it's humorous but also useful2. Rock-Music-Wise, Roger Daltry sang "I hope I die before I get old" in The Who's "My Generation," and he certainly meant well before age 50. FIFTY is even older than Spinal Tap bassist Derek Smalls was when he lamented growing old in rock-n-roll.
But big whoop. Who cares? The fact is, I've felt old at every "Big X-0" birthday since I turned 10. (Although at 10, "old" was a good thing.) Time moves in one direction, and such markers whiz past like telephone poles viewed from the bed of a speeding pick-up truck. When I turned 20, I hadn't yet performed comedy, but I knew Eddie Murphy was a star by that age, so it seemed too late for me. When I turned forty, my kids were still so young and it seemed like it would be years before I'd get a little free time for my own – and by the time it arrived I assumed I'd be too old to enjoy it.
The author's 10th birthday was the last time in his life that a birthday ending in '0' brought contentment rather than anxiety.
Now I'm turning 50, and I actually don't feel as old as I thought I would. Sure, physically, I'm a little more achey than I used to be, and a nice long walk now substitutes for an hour's worth of pick-up basketball, but emotionally I'm not experiencing anywhere near the level of concern I felt when I turned 30. Of all the X-0 birthdays, 30 hit me the hardest. That was the one that grabbed my lapels, slapped me in the face, spun me around with a kick in the pants and said, "Get on with it, boy! You can't goof off forever!"
I've never forgiven 30 for telling me that.
I was living in San Francisco with my cool girlfriend3, in our cool neighborhood, with one cool cat and one mentally disabled stray cat we called "Lenny," after the big sad character in Of Mice and Men. But even Lenny was cool! I was in a theater group, writing and acting in plays, I was performing improv – and getting paid for it4, and I was doing some stand up comedy. I was having a blast – but the BIG 3-0 hung over my head ominously.
All of my artistic pursuits were fun and important to me, however I was still earning my living as a chemist in the pharmaceutical industry. I thought of myself as an actor/performer, but I had a series of W-2s going back 6 years that told a different story. The time had come to either ditch the well-paying job and dive headfirst into performance, or quietly admit to myself that despite my pursuits' fun and importance, I really enjoyed having a comfortable lifestyle with an income I could count on. I quietly admitted to myself that performance – improv, standup, acting – was an AVOCATION.
This was all happening in the mid-90s. In a different era, there may have been music on the radio to help soothe my anxiety and stress. But not in the mid-90s, which was an era of some of the worst music imaginable: pseudo-alt-rock – a ripped-off, corporate-hijacked, style-over-substance form whose ridiculousness was perhaps topped only by the spiraling absurdity of the late 80s hair-band phenomenon. Pseudo-Alt-Rock was similar to the follies of the late-80s hair-bands in that a once-inspired musical style (in the case of hair-bands, Heavy Metal; in the case of pseudo-alt, College Rock/Grunge) had been fed through the record label Xerox machine so many times that only the faintest outline remained of the original form. All the subtle intricacy of true expression and unique character was lost, and a bunch of nondescript blobs were spat out and called "alternative rock," in the hope that listeners wouldn't notice the difference. And it was all over the radio.
As my 30th birthday approached, I felt my carefree youth slipping away, and I decided to make a last-ditch attempt to hang on by renewing my interest in what was new on the musical map. I decided that 1997 would be the year I would resume buying good, new music – a favorite pastime of mine that had peaked in the early 90s, but had waned some by 1997. It was a dubious era in which to claw back into the musical stew.
For every Yo La Tengo or Radiohead, there was a The Prodigy or a Creed. It wasn't hard to enjoy Sleater-Kinney, and then be tricked by Veruca Salt. It was the era of the Trapdoor of the Catchy Alternative Pop Song, a phenomenon in which a tuneful song that immediately grabs your ear by a random Smashmouth or New Radicals, or even – shockingly enough – a Hanson5, could, if you didn't give the song a second and third go-around to really listen, cause you to consider buying an album, and in doing so plummet, screaming, clutching in your hands a virtually unlistenable and un-re-sellable piece of shiny, plastic trash.
I did a pretty good job of avoiding the really lousy albums from the really shitty bands of the day6. I didn't buy anything from Matchbox 20 or Bush or Third Eye Blind. I wasn't tricked by a catchy single into buying albums from Luscious Jackson or White Town or OMC.
But I did purchase one album that summer on the basis of one catchy song that turned out to indeed be a one-hit wonder … in the UK. And after re-mixing. In the summer of 1997, Alt-Rock Radio – that foister of tepidry7 – was playing a Catchy Alternative Pop Song that could have been a trap door. The song was "Brimful of Asha," by Cornershop, sung in a definitely-noticeable Hindi accent. It was part of Corporate Modern Rock Radio's apparent push towards some bit of multi-cultural awareness, a song churned onto the playlist via some strange algorithm that also allowed a Los Lobos song to be played once a month, but still couldn't spit out any hip-hop songs onto the playlist by any bands other than The Beastie Boys8. It caught my ear, and I read good things about the album (probably in Spin magazine) so I went out and got it. I wasn't disappointed.
"Brimful of Asha" is a terrific guitar pop song, with great drums and a great beat. It starts quietly and simply: an easy electric guitar riff and basic drums. The song builds with each verse, adding organ and strings. By the time of the "Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow" chorus, it's got a full sound. The song's lyrics are a salute to Bollywood playback singer9 Asha Bhosle, and the band's love of 45s. This is probably as good a time as any to mention the band's Indian-UK heritage. Singer/Songwriter Tjinder Singh's music incorporates his Hindi background into 90s-style UK funk, and the result is unlike anything else. For example, in "Brimful of Asha," the repetitive guitar riff functions somewhat like a "drone" in Indian classical music, setting the table onto which the rest of the song is placed – including a pumped up bass drum, hand claps, and samples of orchestra strings.
That Indian drone technique is used throughout the album, and there's something compelling about it. Sometimes I will find it repetitive, but most often it draws me in and keeps me hooked. A good example is the first track on the album, "Sleep On the Left Side."
There's not a lot happening in this song, but there's an awful lot happening, too! What I mean is, the five notes that make up the drone are unchanging and run through the whole song. But throughout, the electronic squawks and accordion riffs and orchestral wiggles and flute trills and Singh's laconic vocals provide the listener with much to consider. The lyrics seem to be a reflection on life in, and pride for, an Indian neighborhood in the U.K. (The name "Cornershop" is a reclamation of a UK slur for Indians and Pakistanis, so-called because of the many who owned convenience stores (aka cornershops) in the U.K.10) It's got a trance-inducing groove, but in a good way.
The band's Indian roots are on full display in one of the most Hindi-sounding pop songs I've heard since The Beatles' "Love You To." The song is "We're In Yr Corner," and the sitar starts flying immediately.
In addition to the sitar, the song is sung in Punjabi (apparently, from what I've read). I couldn't find any English translations for the lyrics, but the song is catchy and melodic. At about 1:45 there is some spoken dialogue that sounds terrific. As with the first two songs I mentioned, there's a repetitive drone aspect to the song which a) I love, but b) makes it hard for me to write about. I'm used to saying, "I like the guitar in the chorus," and "How about those drums in the bridge," but many of the songs on When I Was Born for the 7th Time have no guitar, chorus or bridge. However, the drums always sound great – whether drum kit, tabla, bongoes, or some other type with which I'm unfamiliar! But the sounds move me. And Western aspects are tossed in, such as the breaks around 2:50, or the false ending or the "IBM and Coca-Cola, motherfucker!" lyrics. The band has a knack for taking the unfamiliar and making it sound familiar.
So the band flies its Indian flag in all its songs, however, as I've said in many of my album write-ups, I love variety! Nothing makes me tire of an album quicker than a repetition of sound, and Cornershop is fluent in many styles. My favorite song on the album almost sounds like a Beck song: "Funky Days are Back Again."
Drummer Nick Simms shines on the track, propelling it forward with tight rolls and syncopation. The typical Cornershop beeps and blips supplement the song, as Singh celebrates the 1990s good life, in lyrics that are clever and fun.
The album also contains a sort of turntable jazz song, "Butter the Soul," that features a really cool-sounding turntable riff broken up by solos on Indian instruments, complete with bursts of applause from the "audience." Also impressive is a country song, sung as a duet between Singh and American singer Paula Frazer. The song is "Good to Be on the Road Back Home." It's got typical country lyrics – how the road wreaks havoc on the traveler. It's also got that Indian drone – with few chord changes and a constant chugging acoustic guitar. The band is just very creative.
This creativity, the desire to expand in sound and genre, leads to several songs that – for me – really miss the mark. "When the Light Appears Boy," with lyrics by Beat Generation hero Allen Ginsburg, who also speaks the lyrics, is much better in theory than in execution. "What Is Happening" sounds like supermarket announcements read over raga drumming. Others are just fragments, really. But some of the experiments succeed wildly – like "Candyman," another trance-inducing groove that sounds great!
Maybe the coolest song on the album – and I state this as an unabashed and irrational Beatles fan – is Cornershop's cover of "Norwegian Wood." Sung in Punjabi. Listen.
To me, this song is what the album is all about: taking the old (old songs, old styles, old languages) adding a bit of yourself (Anglo-Indian roots, love of rock and hip-hop) and creating something new and wonderful. In fact, this is probably what life is all about – take what's come before you, add a bit of yourself, and make things better for those coming behind you. It's why I probably shouldn't get too worried about getting older – life was here before me, life will go on after me. I'm just here to improve things a little bit. I'll let Cornershop have the last word, with another song I love for its song structure and beat; but most of all for its great message. Because as I approach 50, and I sometimes worry or fret, it helps to keep in mind: Good Shit's All Around11.

Shudup SHUDUP SHUDUP!!!!!!!
If we don't talk about it or think about it, maybe it won't happen.

It's coming, Sully! But at least we still have our looks!
I plan on generally freaking out and becoming slightly unhinged.
I suggest you do the same. Maybe a Nickelback album in your top 100? That would do it.

Or so I hear. I won't find out for another few months.
A girlfriend so cool that I now realize she was already my wife by the time I turned 30!
Obviously not a lot, but still …
Hanson wasn't properly "Alternative," but their hit had a certain guitar/drumbeat/production sound that gained it a couple spins on SF's Live105, apparently to see just how far the suits could push this whole alternative-genre thing. This type of push also got Jewel some "modern rock" play.
Which isn't to say I am to be trusted as the arbiter of what is lousy or not. I have had plenty of lousy albums on my list, and I expect some more will show up as well!
To coin two words and a phrase.
That is until the fucking Bloodhound Gang came along. 90s Modern Rock radio skipped all those other (black) hip-hop artists, but okayed the bloodhound gang??? Zoinks.
A playback singer is the person who sings the songs that are lip-synched in a Bollywood film.
Which just goes to show how ridiculous bigotry is – the fact that diligence, entrepreneurialism and hard work could be turned into a supposed slur!
This song was a hit in the UK under the alternative title, "Good Ships."

Bovine tuberculosis: the genetic basis of host susceptibility
A. R. Allen, G. Minozzi, E. J. Glass, R. A. Skuce, S. W. McDowell, J. A. Woolliams, S. C. Bishop
The prevalence of bovine tuberculosis (BTB) in the UK remains a significant economic burden and problem for the agri-food industry. Much effort has been directed towards improving diagnostics, finding vaccine candidates and assessing the usefulness of badger culling. The contribution that host genotype makes to disease outcome has, until recently, been overlooked; yet, it is biologically untenable that genetic variation does not play a role. In this review, we highlight the evidence, past and present, for a role of host genetics in determining susceptibility to BTB in livestock. We then address some of the major issues surrounding the design of future studies tasked with finding the exact causative genetic variation underpinning the TB susceptibility phenotype. Finally, we discuss some of the potential future benefits, and problems, that a knowledge of the genetic component to BTB resistance/susceptibility may bring to the agricultural industries and the wider scientific community.

Can restrictive covenants survive a TUPE transfer or are they TUPE'doed?
Google PlusGoogle Plus
"To be, or not to be: that is the question." Many will know these to be Hamlet's words early in the eponymous play. TUPE or not TUPE (with respect to restrictive covenants) is a thought that most buyers of a business have, but often too late in the day. What do these two have in common? Potentially tragic consequences.
First act: setting the scene
When TUPE (The Transfer of Undertakings (Protection of Employment) Regulations 2006) applies, any employees principally assigned to the acquired business transfer automatically from the seller to the buyer. Each employee's existing terms and conditions are preserved. Therefore, notionally, the benefit of any restrictive covenants - contractual terms restricting an employee's post-termination activities - passes to the buyer. Thinking itself to be adequately protected, the buyer may think of the issue no more, and get down to business.
Second act: circumstances change
Getting down to business, the buyer will likely conduct a post-transfer reorganisation and assimilate the acquired business into its wider operations. The transferred employees will integrate and interact with clients, suppliers and other employees of the buyer. Circumstances may change. But crucially the wording of the restrictive covenants will not.
Third act: the betrayal
Further into the future, business is booming for the buyer and the acquisition appears to have been a wise one. Unfortunately, one day, key transferred employees leave and promptly work in competition against the buyer – perhaps even soliciting clients and using its suppliers. The buyer refers to those ex-employees' employment contracts and is relieved to be reminded that they contain restrictive covenants. However, on closer inspection, it realises, or is advised, that the covenants refer to an employer company which was no longer employing those individuals just before they left and a business which has been changed by assimilation with the buyer's.
Fourth act: tragedy strikes
Prevailing case law (most notably, Morris Angel and Son Ltd v Hollande (1993) EWCA) suggests that the courts will not be inclined to afford the buyer adequate protection in such circumstances. At best, the covenants will only apply to the acquired business and the customers it had and the suppliers it used. The covenants will not apply to the wider business of the buyer and customers and suppliers which were not exclusively those of the acquired business. Therefore, the greater the change, the more the relevance and the enforceability of the covenants will be diminished.
Fifth act: lessons learned
A business transfer buyer should usually try to ensure that the senior transferred employees enter into new restrictive covenants. However, this is an area of law which requires delicacy. Introducing new covenants on a TUPE transfer should only be done when based on expert advice. Otherwise, the buyer could be faced with more immediate problems, such as claims for constructive or unfair dismissal. Advice obtained at the outset should mean that a Shakespearean tragedy ending is avoided.

SWAT Challenge Cup 2019
DHSG have won the SWAT Challenge Cup 2019
Congratulations to Anjola, Saahithyi, Akshita, Chloe and the SWAT committee. Thanks also must go to South West Academic Trust for providing this opportunity and Colyton Grammar School for hosting.
MP Neil Parish was among the judges. Students were grilled by fellow students from other grammar schools and the judges after they delivered their presentation. This year's theme was 'How can Britain develop a housing policy that is inclusive, sustainable and popular'. A Fantastic achievement!
My SWAT Experience
Coming to DHSG, was a big achievement for me, but winning something like this was unexpected. In January, I began preparing a short presentation with two other people about "How can Britain develop a housing policy that is inclusive, popular and sustainable?" We three, took a subject each, I oversaw sustainability. I spent nights researching, until I came up with a solution. We were told the preliminary round was just before the half term in February. I was very nervous, as this was my first time speaking in front of audiences. Soon the time came, when the spotlight was upon me, I pushed myself and spoke confidently. I did mumble and stutter, but I had to rectify it then and there. Within two minutes, we were done. I was quite proud of myself for presenting. After two weeks of waiting, I finally got the e-mail. To my greatest shock, it said I got in. Well, the funny thing is that, I entered SWAT to improve my speaking skills, but getting through was amazing. We were only given three weeks to come up with the final presentation, so we started merging our Power Points and editing slides. We also started delegating the information. Just near the end of our three weeks, we had to present it to the SWAT Committee and the teachers. As our presentation needed feedback, we were given some pointers by different people. Just the day before the SWAT Challenge Cup, I kept panicking about what I was going to say and what it was going to be like, so I just left it. I didn't practice at all, as I knew that would make me more worried. The next day, we had to be there at school by 7:45am because the journey was about 1 hour and 15 minutes long. On the coach we had a good time, we didn't really care about the presentation, we just talked. When the coach pulled up at Colyton Grammar School, I suddenly felt very scared yet excited at the same time. We were given an envelope for our Unseen Challenge and 20 minutes, it said: "How can we fit more storage in a house?" We discussed about spacing, minimalistic lifestyles, technology and electrics. Shortly afterwards, one of the judges gave us a talk. Then the 1st team performed, it was also our turn asking them two questions. We did try to make them hard, but they did answer them correctly. After two more presentations, it was Break. Our team rehearsed it a few times and the 4th and 5th presentation started. We were presentation 6. When it was our turn, we all took a deep breath and presented as we usually did. Then the questions came, luckily, we could answer them. When the final presentations were over, the judges went outside to choose the winners. It was so nerve racking. After a few minutes, they came in and after a long pause, they announced Devonport High School for Girls. Our team was so excited, and we had a turn of holding the trophy each. This was definitely a memory and achievement to remember. "Thanks, DHSG for the opportunity, and this is just the beginning.

Novgorod-Seversk
Category » Ukraine Cities Virtual Jewish History Tour
NOVGOROD-SEVERSK, city in Chernigov district, Ukraine. During the 14th century, Novgorod-Seversk was conquered by the princes of Lithuania; in the 16th and 17th centuries it was alternately in the hands of the Poles and the Russians; and in 1667 it was definitively annexed by Russia. A Jewish settlement is mentioned for the first time in a residence permit granted to the townspeople by King Sigismund III Vasa (1587–1632) of Poland. According to the permit Jews were forbidden to sell meat in the town, except in the courtyard of the synagogue. Also included were several tax levies which Jews were ordered to pay. During the *Chmielnicki persecutions of 1648 many Jews in Novgorod-Seversk were massacred by the Cossacks. The community was renewed only in the late 18th century. In 1847 1,336 Jews were registered in the community; by 1897 the number had risen to 1,956 (32% of the total population). The community suffered in the wave of pogroms which swept over Russia in 1905. On April 6, 1918, units of the Red Army retreating before the German army savagely attacked the Jews of Novgorod-Seversk and 88 Jews (including the author A.J. Slutzky) lost their lives. In 1926 there were 2,089 Jews (22.8% of the total population) in the town, and in 1939 it dropped to 982 (8.56% of the total population). The Germans arrived there on August 26, 1941, and they found 200 Jews in the town. On November 7, 174 were murdered; others were executed some days later. There is no information on a Jewish community after World War II.

The Zone Diet created by Dr. Barry Sears is a very unique yet effective diet for attaining weight loss results. Actually The Zone Diet unlike a lot of diets does not simply produce weight loss results. Unlike a lot of diets this one produces actual fat burning results. Fat burning results meaning a loss of pure body fat tissue without losing any water or muscle weight in the process.
Most diets believe it or not are not set up to produce fat burning results but rather weight loss results which means a loss of mostly water and muscle weight with only limited amounts of fat tissue. The Zone Diet produces more than just weight loss results by manipulating the body's Insulin levels. More specifically, this diet manipulates the body's Insulin levels in order to place the body in what is referred to as the fat burning zone. Hence the name The Zone Diet.
With The Zone Diet the key to controlling Insulin is to consume carbohydrates that are ranked low on the glycemic index. The lower the glycemic index of a carbohydrate the better the fat burning results. The higher the glycemic index the less fat burning results and the more fat storage will result. As if this were not enough The Zone Diet goes a step further towards making the low glycemic carbohydrates even lower.
The Zone Diet goes a step further towards making the low glycemic carbohydrates even lower by having dieters eat protein and mono-unsaturated fats with them. Lowering the already low glycemic level of low glycemic carbohydrates makes the fat burning results even more effective. This is the uniqueness of The Zone Diet that separates it from all other diets. Unique because mono-unsaturated fats are added to healthy, relatively low fat meals on purpose (for the purpose of fat burning) such as by consuming a teaspoon of peanut butter with each meal.
That is right, part of the effectiveness of The Zone Diet comes from having dieters purposely consume extra grams of fat. Similar to the saying "you have to spend money to make money" this diet says "you have to eat fat to get fat burning results". However, purposely consuming mono-unsaturated fat with each meal only works with the combination of low glycemic carbohydrates and protein as outlined in The Zone Diet. For example, consuming mono-unsaturated fat on top of a high glycemic, low protein meal will not produce fat burning results but will rather make the already fattening meal more fattening.
Even though The Zone Diet is effective it is obviously not for everyone. This diet is not for everyone because to get the desired fat burning results requires a specific consumption ratio of 40% protein, 30% carbohydrates and 30% fats, a knowledge of the glycemic index as well as a full understanding of proteins, carbohydrates and fats so as to be able to make meals consisting of 40% protein, 30% carbohydrates and 30% fats. In other words, there is a good deal of thinking and food preparation involved in the use of The Zone Diet. The majority of overweight people have enough trouble eating the required meals that produce fat burning results and having to actually make such meals just makes an already difficult process that much more difficult.

Not 'just another' Nationals
Georgie Corlett looks ahead at the RS800 competition in August's RS Games
Friday July 22nd 2011, Author: Georgie Corlett, Location: United Kingdom
The RS800 National Championships will this year be held as part of RS Games, a unique multi-class extravaganza which will see nine RS classes come together over two weeks to contest an assortment of National, European and World Championships.
If there are any dinghy classes who know how to host a regatta, it's the RS cohort, and a fabulous week of racing and socialising is promised for all who enter, as well as for those who simply come along to enjoy the atmosphere onshore.
The RS Games will be held over 14-26 August at Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy, where, exactly one year later, the Olympic 2012 sailing events are due to be held.
For the RS800 fleet, whose National Championship forms part of the RS Games, there will already be an Olympic tingle in the air in the fleet, thanks to the boat's prospective position as the RYA's women's skiff of choice. This status was recently established in the run up to November 2012's ISAF decision over the equipment for Rio 2016. While the RS800 itself is not a potential candidate for selection by ISAF, it has been chosen by the RYA in the interim to develop training and provide a focussed, stepping-stone solution. As part of this, the RYA are aiming to select a number of sailors to form the Skandia Team GBR Women's Skiff Squad; although the selection criteria have yet to be confirmed, attendance at the RS800 Nationals during the RS Games will form a part of this selection.
To bring the RS800 into line with the widespread skiff practice of playing the mainsheet from the boom, all-girl teams entering the RS Games will be permitted to sail in this mode, which will allow the mainsheet to be played upwind by the crew, lightening the load and allowing for slicker tacking.
Past RS800 National and several times Eurocup Champion, Peter Barton was one of the coaches for the RYA and Skandia Team GBR's 'Girls 4 Gold' women's skiff open training programme held over two weekends in June as the first phase of the programme. Barton says he is excited about the impact that the RYA decision is already having on the class and the new faces that are appearing in the fleet as a result. "At least six all-female teams have bought boats and there are several more to come," he says. "This is a great influx of keen new talent into the class, increasing turnouts and developing skills.
"The decision is providing an interesting challenge for the all-girl teams, who are coming into the class from a variety of backgrounds. Laser Radial sailors may have little skiff experience, but have great potential with good physique and attitude. Some, like the 470 and 420 sailors, will need to learn the finer details of asymmetric racing. Then there are those with 29er experience who need, like most others, to master helming from the wire."
Frances Peters was one of the first who made the leap into the class, U-turning a commitment to the 470 when she first heard that an Olympic women's skiff was set to feature in the sailing equipment for Rio 2016. Peters has now teamed up with Nicola Groves, and will be entering a number of RS800 events this year, including the RS Games.
Peters explains: "This is a really exciting opportunity for all-girl teams to get involved with some great, established skiff racing at a high level, and hopefully give some of the guys a run for their money!
"The RS Games will see very hot competition from all male teams, all-girl teams and mixed teams in the class. There are a lot of highly experienced sailors in the class who know how to make the boat go quickly in all conditions. Many girl teams are still in the process of forming and it's such early days so it's hard to know who is going to be up there. But I think it's going to be about getting as much time in the boat between now and then as possible to learn how the boat works, and get the boat around the course in all conditions with confidence."
With 50 entries now confirmed and more still to come, the RS800 National Championships are undoubtedly going to be a tough contest. The RS800 will be the first of the nine classes which form part of the RS Games to kick off their championship, with two races scheduled for 15 August. The RS100 and RS500 will also be on the water that day, each taking advantage of class-specific coaching sessions being run prior to the RS100 National Championship, and the RS500 National and World Championships.
The RS800s will enjoy ten races in total over five days, taking place out in Weymouth bay, culminating with prizegiving on 19 August.
With a packed evening social schedule including the Geeta's Indian Fancy Dress Party, drinks reception at Portland Castle, RS Sailing Games Nights and the Mount Gay Rum Championship Ball, no doubt some of the competitors will be glad of the afternoon start times! The social aspect of this unique event is certainly a big draw for many of the competitors, with the concept of the RS Games being to provide a friendly and enjoyable event across all nine classes. The RSs may have held multi-class events before, but this is certainly the first one that has been held on such a scale; no doubt the socials will push the limits too.
On the water, however, the question of who will walk away with the championship title looks set to remain wide open until well into the final stages of racing. Peter Barton will be taking part in the event himself, and with hopes of regaining the title of National Champion, which he last held in 2007. But he is under no illusion that it will be an easy ride this year! The influx of newcomers to the fleet is not just from all-girl Olympic hopefuls.
Barton gives his form guide: "Several new teams are putting in the effort this season and I wouldn't be surprised if one of them walks off with the Games. When teams are improving quickly it is always hard to predict. The RS800 is not overly challenging to sail in skiff-terms when compared to a 49er, I14 or Cherub for example, so teams can focus on the racing rather than handling and means new teams can become competitive quickly. Nick Charles and Chris Martin are in their second season and are key contenders. Past RS400 champions, David Hivey and James Stewart, are likely to be sniggling up the front when they find their trapezing legs. The RS800 class is very competitive at the front of the fleet with perhaps anyone of the top ten able to win races and take events."
Andy Jeffries, current holder of the RS800 Eurocup title, is also looking forward to a hotly contested event. He says; "I think the standard for the RS Games will be pretty high, as a lot of people are focusing on this as the big event of the year. I'm also expecting to see some club sailors boosting the numbers because it's being held at such an amazing venue. Weymouth itself is a great place to sail and on top of that, the Olympic facility is state of the art. All in all I think it is an event that you can't afford to miss; it may be a cliché but it really is a 'once in a lifetime opportunity' to sail at the venue of the Olympics in the final run up to the Games proper; it's like riding your bike on a stage of the Tour de France. When the drama of the medal races is being played out on TV next summer, you'll have that special connection. I think because of this, it will be the hardest fought RS800 Nationals to date; everyone will want to be a winner at this huge event."

The medieval church, often bereft of the gospel, turned to foolish entertainments to lighten the mood of death and to rescue from the despair into which her children had fallen. Martin Luther spurned one of those mood lightening events when he preached at the Eve of the Name of Jesus. Apparently, preachers were expected to give "presents" in their sermon on that occasion. These presents were jokes and humorous stories intended to delight the hearers. The gloom of the law and the shadow of death could only be lifted by jocularity where there was no understanding of the gospel. A good chuckle is certainly a gift from God, but it is no substitute for the gospel of salvation in Christ.
The gifts that Luther gave were the gifts that the Lord had placed into his hands as an office holder in the church. These are the things that give the church true joy. Vaudevillian storytelling had no place in Luther's repertoire. He spoke of the gift of the name of the Lord and His circumcision for us sinners. The Lord's name was bestowed by the angel (Mt 1:21), not as was customarily done, at the circumcision of the child (Lk 1:59-60). His name was not tied to the observance of the law. The Lord Christ was named for the work that He would accomplish for us and bestow on us by faith. His name, Jesus, meant Savior.
His name was tied to His person, not to His obedience. He was Son, where we are only prodigal sons, proving ever our unworthiness of this sublime name. Since He already bore a name that was above every name (Phil 2:9-10), He had no need of circumcision, yet He submitted to the rite for our sakes. He fulfilled every expectation and requirement of the holy law that we might be freed from our debt to it. He made the law a debtor to Him that we might have our accounts cleared. We, who had no right to sonship, come to the full enjoyment of that title by grace, not by works. He bestows this on us by His submission to the law, His life, and His work. The Son sets us free to be true sons.
It is a pity that the twenty-first-century church is sinking back into the medieval practice of entertaining God's people. The truly appreciated preachers are those who can deliver a humorous and entertaining speech. We may laugh ourselves to death, entertained all the way to hell's guffawing gate. The appreciation for such preaching can only arise where there is no understanding of the gospel proclamation, that Christ was named our Savior and circumcised to free us from the law's circumscription. The true present is Christ.
"It was customary to give the child a name at his circumcision, as we see here (Lk 2:21) and in the case of John the Baptist, to whom, too, his name was given when he was circumcised (Lk 1:59). However, just as Christ was not obliged to be circumcised, and this sign was empty in His case, so, too, His name was given Him beforehand through the angel, so that He did not obtain it through circumcision. This happened and was written that He should be free in every respect from the law and sin before all men and that He was solely serving us by submitting to the law and becoming like us, in order to save us from it, as Paul says in the epistle lesson: 'He was put under the law so that he might redeem them who were under the law' (Gal 4:4-5). For when death overcame him and slew him, without however having any claim or case against Him, and He willingly and innocently permitted himself to be slain, death became indebted to Him, having done him wrong and having sinned against Him and having handled all things inattentively, so that Christ has an honest claim against it. The wrong which death perpetrated against Him, is so great that death is unable to pay or to atone for it. And so death must be under Christ and in His power forever. Thus death is overcome in Christ and strangled.
"But since Christ did this not for Himself, but for us, and since He has made us a present of this overcoming of death in baptism, consequently all believers in Christ must be masters over death; death must be their subject, indeed, their criminal, whom they must judge and execute, exactly as they do when they die and on the Last Day. Through the gift of Christ death has become guilty against all to whom Christ has presented this gift. Behold, this is what we mean when we talk about being beautifully and happily redeemed from death through Christ; these are the spiritual wars of Joshua against the heathen of Canaan, notably the five kings, upon whose necks the princes of Israel trod by His command (Josh 10:22-24). So, too, circumcision did Christ wrong. He was not obligated to it, and so it is rightfully subject to Him, and He has become its master, has vanquished it and given it to us as a present, so that it must come to an end and no longer have any say over those who believe in Christ. He has freed us from circumcision, only in this way, He innocently submitted to it and donated to us His claim against it. Behold, this means once more putting Christ under the law, in order that He might redeem those who were under it (Gal 4:5)."
Lord God, heavenly Father, because You sent us Your only-begotten Son for our salvation and gave Him the name of Jesus, grant that we may begin the New Year trusting in His saving name and live all our days in His service and praise to the glory of His holy name; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
