VARIOUS ARTISTS – Songs From The Black Meadow

VARIOUS ARTISTS –
Songs From The Black Meadow
Where old mysteries and modern science meet for a strange phenomenon to aid cancer research.
There's a place in the North Yorkshire Moors where weird things have been happening for ages, but all attempts to give it an explanation brought forth no result, the disappearance of Professor Roger Mullins in 1972 in the area remaining one of Black Meadow's latest secrets. It's his work, though, that channeled traditional lore into the art of today, yet this compilation creates a narrative of its own by weaving together various strains of the story to make the result arrestingly diverse. So while THE SOULLESS PARTY – represented by a vibrant, sci-fi-kissed "Radomes" on the CD – have their own album dedicated to the cultural miasma, alternative stylistic approach uncovers more strata of the ancient enigma.
Outside of "Wealcome To The Meadow" which finds EASTGREEN rapping and raving, it's hypnotic for the most part. More so, it's tempting to lend an ear and blend into a pure folk tapestry of "The Horseman" from WYRDSTONE or a sound collage of Septimus Keen's "When The Mist Spreads" which lingers on for ten chilling minutes. And if, elsewhere, THE HARE AND THE MOON's baroque ripples lap over Alison O'Donnell's spectral vocals on "Black Meadow Song" to a kaleidoscopic effect, and Keith Seatman dips "Playing Hop The Scotch" into a bubbling, squelching electronica, everything is a part of a perfect picture of cold, desperation here.
The drift may get merrier for WINTERBERRY's "The Fruits Of The Moor" but Elena Martin's "Search The Fields" – another one of a few previously released pieces on display – is as eloquent a reflection of emotionally barren land as a few ambient tracks interspersing the songs are. Still, as Mervyn Williams and Theale Green School Senior Choir point out, in a majestic hymn, for the English it's "Our Fair Land" and that's why its mysteries, even tragic ones, feel like integral element of the country's inhabitants; that's why The Black Meadow is a place in people's psyche – the fact this compilation gently stresses over and over again. Here's a legend for a new kind of perception.

What platforms like this do is provide essential tools to make website design simple -- which is why many professional services use them when building sites for their clients. But there's more that goes into building a website than simply putting the pages together, especially for business sites. While these platforms require almost no coding expertise, in order to build an efficient website, you still need to adhere to the best practices of web design.
Having a website isn't enough.
The entire reason of having a website for your business is to inform customers, build a brand, and convert leads. For a website to work for a company, rather than against it, it needs to be designed around this idea. Simply having a website isn't enough. By cutting corners, you may actually end up finding that you and your brand is worse off than you were before the website existed.
Website design encompasses a lot of things, and coding is just one of them. The best practices of website design include simple things, like making sure your website has the right page descriptions and keywords, so that search engines know what to look for and how to associate it with searches. Without knowledge of what's important to have (and not have) on a website, you may find that you're paying money to host your self-developed website, but without any of the benefits of having a website that converts visitors into customers.
By hiring the right team of people to build your company website, you can make sure that it does what it's supposed to do. You can make sure that your website is designed to convert leads and properly portrays your brand in the way that you want. When thinking about this, consider poorly designed websites you've visited in the past. Chances are, what turned you off about the website had little to do with the coding side, and a lot more to do with the content.
When you cut corners in building your website, you can quickly become that site -- one that's hard to navigate; one that doesn't provide the information needed; and possibly one that comes off as a poor representation of your brand.
Stay focused, run your business.
The other problem with doing your own website design is that it takes your focus away from where it should be -- on building your business. While it may seem like all that goes into building a business site is setting it up, then moving on, a functional company page involves upkeep and work that can become incredibly exhausting if that's not your area of expertise.
So yes, these days, you may be able to build your own website-- but again, that doesn't mean you should. Consider hiring a team of professionals to handle your website design, so you can make sure that it gets you the results you need, rather than detracting from operating your business.
If you're struggling with your website, stop by our Website Design services page and see if there's a package that suits your business, and your budget, best.


Getting high-quality rosin has quickly become a staple necessity for a dispensary. Not only does rosin provide a concentrate for the consumer, but it has proven versatile for many users.
Rosin extraction can be done easily at home with just a few components. But getting a better extraction requires buying the best rosin press for your needs. The more you know about the basics of the best rosin press, the easier it will be to understand reviews.
Companies flood the market with all sorts of different presses right now. To understand what will best serve your needs and get you the rosin extraction you desire, you need to know what these features offer.
No need to fear, we'll also take into consideration the price points on these bad boys. The top of the line might sound best, but getting value for the dollar remains important.
A rosin press has one or more heating elements, a press of some sort, and is stable enough to withstand the pressure of the press.
The best rosin press will have an upgraded version of these elements that aid you in getting the best extraction. So let's explore what is desirable for each of these key features.
Contrary to what you may think, having larger heat plates doesn't make for faster production. What it makes for is burned rosin.
As the rosin extraction begins, the material is pushed away from the product and out. A larger, square plate will keep the rosin in the higher heat zone for longer, which could spell disaster for your extraction.
The best rosin press will have a longer and narrower heat plate. This allows the center to be loaded with product and the rosin to quickly move to the edges. This enables the rosin to cool and then remain more stable.
Trying to place the product towards the edge of a larger plate won't suffice. This will cause issues with the pressure and the temperature readings. Also, avoid doing multiple stacks of product on a larger plate for that reason.
The necessity of a digital temperature control can't be overstated.
Proper temperature control makes or breaks an extraction. Too cool and there will be little yield. Too hot and it will burn.
A digital temperature control shows where you set the temperature. Ideally, it will also maintain that temperature through an extraction. The designers of the best rosin press understand that pressure also creates heat.
Presses that don't account for pressure heat will burn too hot. Buy a press that has temperature controls for the top plate and bottom plate. This compensates for pressure heat and results in a better extraction.
Presses have a whole variety of ways to create pressure. The most popular home systems use pneumatic cylinders or hand turned cranks. These can provide adequate pounds of force, though they tend to be difficult to control.
For commercial use, the best rosin press technologies come from hydraulic and electrical pressure. Electrical has the benefit of being fairly quiet, but it has a lower pressure threshold, in the 6-7000 lbs. range of force.
Hydraulic presses can push over 60,000 lbs. of force. They also require little maintenance because the mechanism is all internal. Cheaper units have an issue with requiring oiling of the central cylinder and should be avoided.
Power gets generated by a hydraulic cylinder which pushes liquid through a pressure change. Like pneumatic systems, the power comes from acting against a metal rod. The difference is hydraulic uses liquid and pneumatic uses gas.
As you can imagine, pushing a liquid provides more pressure and also performs quieter.
Digital timers should give more than a second-by-second countdown. Timers running into at least 2 decimals will provide tighter control for an excellent rosin extraction. The best rosin press needs to release quickly to remove pressure and heat.
Automating the process is nice, but not essential. As long as you watch the timer and know how to work the press, you can maximize your extraction. Timers should engage automatically when the pressure hits peak.
A press that offers variable temperature control for each plate may also have timing settings. So you extract for a few seconds at one temp, then a few more at a different temp.
Going commercial with a rosin extraction process requires serious capacity. A key feature of the best rosin press will be a capacity of 20g or higher of product for each press. Remember that upping the capacity also requires upping the pressure to maintain a solid extraction.
As already mentioned, increasing capacity doesn't mean adding a larger plate. A better press features multiple narrow plates over one large plate. This gives the added benefit of being able to run a different product at different temperatures across the press.
The more moving parts a machine has, the more likely it will break down. The common issue with cheap hydraulic presses comes from maintenance.
Potential leakage of oil from the hydraulic cylinder frustrates users. Oil contamination is also possible. Refilling the cylinder takes time and effort, as well as downtime for the machine.
A commercial grade hydraulic press doesn't require frequent cylinder maintenance. While the cheaper alternative may seem good up-front, machines of this sort always cost more on the back end.
Look for quality craftsmanship in the best rosin press. These will have durability guarantees for lifecycle. This helps you to understand the total cost of a press. A press with all the bells and whistles that breaks down every other day will be no better than a cheap home setup.
Lately, the Internet boasts all sorts of reviews of rosin presses and guides to rosin tech. It's great to see so much information out there for such a great development. However, too many sites miss the mark and review machines without explaining what to actually seek.
We offer competitive rosin press technology and tips and tricks for a great extraction. Check out our information page and learn more about how to boost your yield and create the best solventless extractions.
Got a question? We can answer specifics about our machine and why going solventless is the way to make the best quality rosin.

Why Prune the Vineyard?
"Musings" are a series of columns by co-founder and co-owner Robert Muse that are devoted to viticulture and wine making at Muse Vineyards
Winter is the time dormant vines are pruned. But why prune at all? An abandoned Virginia vineyard is instructive. Two years after its last pruning a vine will have shoots twelve to fifteen feet long that will have grown to the top of the trellis and collapsed to the vineyard floor. Within another year, the vineyard superstructure (e.g. posts, wires, etc.) will be hidden under a mass of foliage. A year or two after that and the rows will no longer be recognizable. Instead of a vineyard there will be an impenetrable thicket of tangled vines, each in a savage competition for water and the sunlight necessary for photosynthesis. Because it is the latter process by which vines accumulate carbohydrate reserves to survive winter, vine death will soon start among the losers of what has become a Darwinian struggle for existence.
Pruning aims at one principal result – a stand-alone vine capable of producing grapes that are ripe enough to produce palatable wine.
Meanwhile, what has happened to the grapes? Vines that are now the size of large hedges will produce many clusters of grapes but they will be hidden under a thick matting of leaves and will therefore never ripen. A few bunches will get to the top of the vine where direct exposure to the sun will produce enough ripeness that birds and the occasional black bear will feed upon and later excrete the seeds to ensure that at least some of the vines will reproduce in more congenial circumstances.
There are dozens of divergent opinions about the best pruning architecture and methods. In truth there is no one right way to prune a vine. A review of vineyards around the world will produce, conservatively, several dozen pruning modes. Each is a product of tradition, available skilled human resources and climatic conditions. For example, in the French Basque country the vines are pruned to create grape clusters at chest level. The reason for this is late spring frost that settles off nearby mountains – as all cold air will – at ground level and kills buds. In Burgundy, less than 200 miles away, vines are pruned to a fruiting wire about 18 inches above ground in the belief that soils warmed during the day will release heat through the night and assist in the ripening of fickle Pinot Noir.
One could go on for pages discussing pruning architecture, ranging from head pruning in Rioja (waist high individual vines grown without a trellis) to the staked vines of Italy's Piedmont which are grown in the shape of a goblet. In every case, the viticulturist is employing a pruning method that shapes vines into forms that he or she believes will produce the best wine grapes in the most efficient way.
(Spur pruning, where permanent cordons are established along a fruiting wire, is a more common method in Virginia). Our cane pruning aims at two key results: (1) We wish to have a vine that can absorb the maximum amount of sunlight to fully ripen its properly positioned grapes. (2) We wish to have a vine that will not over-crop and therefore produce un-ripe fruit.
At Muse Vineyards, we use what is called the double-Guyot method of cane pruning.
Double-Guyot pruning requires some skill, in that a vineyard worker is making constant decisions that will affect not just the grape crop in the coming autumn, but also the grape crop in the following year. Rather than tax our readers with a lengthy description of cane pruning we refer you to the entry on Jules Guyot in The Oxford Companion to Wine. (Robinson, J and Harding, J (4th. Ed) 2015).
There is no one right way to prune a grapevine. We have chosen a skilled pruning method that is performed entirely by hand. It is therefore more expensive and time-consuming than most other methods. We do it to produce the best grapes we can in order to produce the best wines that can be teased out of the impressive physical attributes of the Northern Shenandoah Valley.
If our readers are interested in pruning a vine or two between now and early March let us know and we'll arrange something on a Saturday or Sunday. Don't worry; a vine is a remarkably hearty creature that is very forgiving of maltreatment by everything from the occasional bear to a novice pruner.

Victor linebacker Camden Hay's father in the hospital after horrific car crash
Published: 10/19/2018 @ 06:45 am
The Victor Blue Devils will play their sectional quarterfinal game with heavy hearts as one of their defensive leaders is dealing with the worst kind of adversity.
Junior linebacker Camden Hay's father, Tim, was in a horrible car accident on Sunday on the way to a work trade show. He and one of his coworkers were hit head-on by a tractor-trailer truck near Akron, Ohio.
Tim Hay had to be airlifted to Akron General Hospital and has already had two surgeries. He broke both of his legs, an arm, his ribs and his pelvis in the crash.
The Victor community quickly sprang into action, and running back Joey Pezzimenti's mother helped start a GoFundMe with the goal of $50,000. On Tuesday evening the fund had already raised more than $30,000.
Camden Hay didn't find out the news until a police officer arrived at his door searching for his mother Shannon.

Mike Finders is a songwriter, bluegrass musician and educator, originally from Iowa, but at home here in Fort Collins for almost a decade. He believes one should take it easy, but still take it.
Aaron Youngberg finds obscure hobbies and more or less obsesses over them for several years until he reaches a level of skill he deems satisfactory. He never leaves any behind. Some ventures include banjos, heavy machinery, record-producing, pedal steel guitars, snow-boarding, parenting, ultra-marathon running, beard growing, studio construction and studio engineering. He's been teaching the bluegrass style banjo for close to 20 years and performs with FY5 most of the time...when he's not obsessing over those other things. He's a nice guy.
Erin started playing bass at a young age with her banjo pickin' daddy in Wyoming. They played bar gigs, weddings, golf club fundraisers, dude ranches, apres ski gigs and more until she went away to college and found some peers who were serious about making music for a living - and hit the road! Now she has spent over 15 years touring, recording, performing and teaching across the country. Bluegrass bass is her calling, and has led her to a life she loves! She'll tell you all about the "Zen of Bluegrass Bass".
Erin has been an instructor at Bluegrass jam camps since 1995: 3 yrs at the Cordova Fiddle & Bluegrass Camp (Cordova, AK), 8 yrs at Adult Bluegrass Jam Camp (Ghost Ranch, NM), 7 yrs at the Adult Bluegrass Jam Camp (Pagosa Springs), and 2 yrs at the Bearfoot Bluegrass Camps for kids (Crested Butte, CO & Buffalo, WY).
A lifelong student of musical styles, Ryan Drickey is well-versed in the intricacies of American Old-Time and Bluegrass, as well as Swedish fiddle styles. He has an MM in violin from CU-Boulder, and lives in Beacon, NY.
Rich Zimmerman has been playing mandolin, teaching workshops and bluegrass camps with Fy5 for the past 8 years. In this camp Rich will focus mostly on the right(picking) hand and it's role in keeping time and driving a bluegrass ensemble.
At FY5 Bluegrass Camp, pickers are immersed in a fun educational experience that inspires and polishes the playing of this classic American art form, Bluegrass Music. The FY5 Bluegrass Camp is a student-centered, two-day instructional retreat with the members of the Fort Collins-based bluegrass band, FY5, as mentors and guides. Campers will participate in large group, small group, and individual instruction on each of the staples of bluegrass music: guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, mandolin, as well as harmony singing and arranging. FY5 knows that when you play WITH and FOR other people, your picking gets better, and our camp is designed to facilitate this as much as possible. Using a few standard bluegrass songs, in easy keys, and a variety of instruction and rehearsal, the pickers dig deeper and deeper into the heart of bluegrass, making new connections and having a great time. The camp concludes with a camper/performance on Sunday night and a personal high-five from FY5!
How will the Academy be structured? The camp uses large group, small mixed group, small like-group and individualized instruction. We also scramble the musicians into ensembles, who perform a show Sunday evening.
When are full payments due? Pay is due upon registration.
What about ability levels? As long as you can play (or at least play along) a couple of bluegrass songs or tunes, in a few different keys (not simultaneously), then you've totally got this.
Will any meals be served? No.
Can I bring friends or family along to the Academy? Not til the show on Sunday afternoon.
What should I bring with me? Your main axe. Any books or such that you like to sing with.
What about the kids Academy? Camp is designed for intermediate-level grown-ups.

Tributes paid to innovative poet, artist and campaigner Leanne Bridgewater
by Greg Freeman
Wednesday 20th March 2019 2:04 pm (first posted 13th March 2019)
Tributes have been paid to innovative poet, artist and animal rights campaigner Leanne Bridgewater, whose recent death at the age of 29 has shocked and saddened the many people who knew her in the poetry world. Manchester poet Steph Pike said of her: "Her poetry was unique - witty, inventive, intelligent, abstract and with imaginative leaps that most of us can only dream of." A fellow poet from Coventry, Antony Owen, said: "Leanne Bridgewater was my friend and her passing is a huge loss to poetry because she was a huge find to it."
Leanne's poetry collection Confessions of a Cyclist, an epic poem of more than 200 pages about cycling around Coventry was published by Knives Forks and Spoons Press. Parts of the book were exhibited in lights at Blackpool Illuminations in 2015.
She was commended as a Foyle Young Poet in 2007. Before moving to Coventry in 2013 she took an MA in creative writing: innovation and experiment at Salford University, appeared at venues such as Manchester's The Other Room, and created projects that included constructing a 3.000-word sentence, a dictionary of 12,000 made-up words, and an eight foot obelisk that was hammered, cut and dismantled during a live performance.
In Coventry she collaborated with Emilia Moniszko on 'Alice in Covland', one of a number of film poems about the city's Ring Road - a film which saw people dancing on overpasses and running through subways to the familiar White Rabbit refrain 'I'm late, I'm late - for a very important date'. More recently she published as an ebook The O and Owl, described as an eco-sound poem in 50 parts, and is a play on the letter 'o' and the 'owl' as a word, phonically, but also metaphorically.
On Instagram she described herself as "the vegan doodlist". As an active animal rights campaigner she demonstrated against badger culls and hunting, and picketed shops in protests against the fur trade.
Steph Pike said: "She loved word play and connections and invented amazingly funny and clever words. But this wasn't an affection she used in her poetry, this was Leanne. It was how she spoke and thought and interacted with the world. The sheer playfulness and joy of her work was exhilarating.
"She performed in her unique way, often using props, puppets, film and music. She was always so supportive and encouraging of other poets and would travel miles to support a poetry night. But most of all Leanne was a wonderful friend - the gentlest, kindest, funniest woman who cared deeply about the world and people around her. Animal rights activist, artist, poet. A woman beloved by everyone who knew her. The poetry world has lost one of its cleverest, most inventive, most beautiful voices. She will be so, so missed and we are heartbroken."
Another Manchester-based poet, Steven Waling, said: "Leanne was a very conscientious defender and champion of the natural world. Through her animal rights activism, her advocacy of veganism and her life choices she was always concerned to do as little harm to the world as possible. She would refuse to go in taxis because of their carbon footprint, for instance, preferring to travel on the bus wherever possible.
"To describe any experimental writer as 'quirky' is often to dismiss the fact that they are operating within a particular tradition. So let me name some poets I think she belongs amongst: poets such as Edith Sitwell, Mina Loy and Dylan Thomas who experimented with the sounds of poetry; poets such as Maggie O'Sullivan who go deep into the pagan heart of nature.
"I remember her vibrant presence on the island of Arran one year, and lament that she has been taken from us so young. She walked up Goat Fell in flip-flops once: and I met her on the road after she'd gone to volunteer at a vegan farm on the island. Depression is an illness she lived with most of her life; but she always presented as lively and cheerful."
Antony Owen said: "The first time I met her she hopped off her bike and shook my hand with three fingers and said 'I'm Leanne, let's do this'. I liked her straight away, I liked her effervescence, her control and vision of what she wanted to do, her humour, her cute hats but most of all her 'way' which was her unique motif."
He met Leanne through "a radical, forward-thinking indie press magazine" called Boscombe Revolution which is now a part of Hesterglock Press. "Leanne initiated the contact wanting to collaborate by filming a video of Ska People which was a poem in my book with Joe Horgan, The year I loved England.
"Leanne was a passionate animal rights activist but separated her beliefs and immersed herself selflessly into other people and who they were. Leanne was a raconteur, a visionary, a dazzling performer that performed for the listener and not the poet performing to the poet. In 2016 when I was unemployed, we were asked to produce Coventry's first ever LGBT poetry pamphlet for Coventry Pride Festival and man, they loved her energy and the workshoppers totally engaged with her and the quality of work she got from some of the most stoical and cautious of the group was a joy to see.
"Her video collaboration for the Coventry Ring Road project was the best of the bunch, a real metaphorical onslaught of Coventry bringing a tenderness and innocence amongst the brutalist rebirth of the Blitz. There was a yellow psychedelic orb in one of the subways and an example of her genius was to insert a small triangle turning it into a 'Pac Man' which would consume the 'Ghost Town' and I saw that immediately as her way of implying Coventry was progressing.
"My favourite memory of her was when she rescued a pigeon near McDonald's on The Burges in Coventry. Leanne had noticed this distressed pigeon had a McDonald's milkshake lid cartwheeling over its neck affecting its trajectory. Leanne waited over an hour for the pigeon speaking to it, trying to capture it and she got so close then it flew out of her reach but she never gave up.
"Leanne Bridgewater was the Kate Bush of the poetry world, the one who wrote for the voiceless and this is why we had a bond that I will miss. Other people like me felt that when you were on a one to one with Leanne the whole world was just you and her, her hugs were prolonged unlike her life, her red-rose cheeks, her sense of purpose, her art, her poetry and her zest for art was like no other writer I met. I will miss her but her books will grow old and young with her. RIP Leanne you were the best of us."
Leanne Bridgewater's funeral and celebration of her life will take place on 28 March in Coventry.

To enable an image to be printed it must be broken up into a matrix of dots – called a halftone image. Traditionally the process of converting an original photograph into a halftone was done photographically with a halftone screen and the number of lines per inch (the resolution of the screen) was called the screen ruling. The higher the screen ruling, the higher the resolution, and therefore the smoother the image would be. However, as the screen ruling increases, so the image becomes more difficult to print, requiring digital screening, better plate making technology and higher and higher quality printing presses.
Today the vast majority of printers use a halftone screen ruling of up to 200 lpi (lines per inch) which is widely accepted as the best compromise of quality and economics of production. However there are still some limitations with this, which are particularly visible when reproducing patterned fabrics or fine lines and this is where FM screening (or stochastic screening) provides significant advantages.
Whereas the ink dots in halftones are equally spaced and variable in size, in FM screening, the dots are variably spaced, but equal in size, and this results in a much smoother image, more detail and the elimination of moiré patterning.
FM screening is not for everyone or every occasion, and it inevitably involves the printer in very tight control of their production variables. But it does create a printed wow factor, particularly when combined with stunning photography.

Recycling is one of the most efficient actions everyone can take for the well-being of the planet. However, there is so much more to recycling than you are used to, and these next few lines will shed the light on a few of the most interesting advantages of recycling.
Unfortunately, the many amazing resources that our beloved planet has been giving us for thousands of years are not endless. On the contrary, most of them are in very short supply, and it is up to use to preserve them as much as possible, whenever we can.
For example, we can save our forests by recycling more paper and wood. How do we do that? By planting more trees, giving up paper email printing or written magazines and opting for the virtual, online alternatives instead. We can also preserve hydrocarbons by recycling more plastic items inside the house. We can also stop using plastic bags altogether when doing our shopping and recycle more metals and limit the need to mine new metal ores. Glass recycling also helps us hold on to sand resources for a longer time. Yes, there is a decreasing quantity of sand all around the globe and we should do everything in our power to preserve it as best as possible.
Once we start to recycle on a constant basis, we can harvest and extract fewer natural resources and we cause less harm and disruption in nature. Think in terms of wild animals and water or soil protection and you should get the bigger picture.
The more we recycle, the better we can avoid creating plastic waste that reaches the oceans and wreaks havoc. Find out how to reduce your plastic footprint here and protect our seas and oceans.
Manufacturing something using recycled materials is a process that uses less energy than classic product making with the help of raw resources. For example, making paper with the help of recycled paper requires 40% less energy than creating it from scratch with the help of wood fibers. Also, recycling a single bottle made of glass can power a 100-watt light bulb for several hours.
The more we recycle, the better we can protect people in areas where they are prone to get evicted because of the natural resources they live on – and which we need to explore to manufacture more things. Let's just take the example of a community that lives near a timber forest that is about to be exploited in order to create paper.
When we burn things we no longer need, we are wasting precious resources we could have recycled and found different uses for. We are also sending harmful and polluting substances into the atmosphere, the waters and the soil. These can all affect the climate, in spite of the fact that it is possible for some incineration processes to actually generate energy. The bad is a lot greater than the good, so don't get easily fooled by this.
More jobs could be created provided more people would start to recycle. Most of these jobs would be in recycling, while the rest could be in supply chains. Even something as apparently insignificant as opting for the best casino games online instead of driving our polluting cars to a land casino and using the slots machines or card game tables there can have good effects on the environment and create more jobs. We can stop wasting/using plastic cups and straws, car fuel and plastic chips and instead focus on virtual gambling solutions that are equally fun and entertaining. Plus, thanks to real-time live casinos, players can enjoy an extremely realistic gambling experience and never regret not being inside a crowded casino they have to commute to and from.
Virtual casinos, just like virtual stores and businesses that sell services save a lot of important resources and contribute to a greener business approach. Giving your business to them means showing your support and bringing your own contribution to the protection of the planet.
Since the process requires less energy when working with raw materials, it will produce lower levels of carbon emissions. This means there will be less methane waste into the environment. Reducing our carbon footprint will also have positive effects on climate change.
If you are not convinced of the amazing effects of recycling yet, you may want to take a deeper look at the materials on our website and find out how else can this process help you and the planet.


Back in June I made a few observations about what happens when lager drinkers are introduced to good quality IPA, and noted that big, bold flavours, rather than watery blandness, might be exactly what people want. Put like that it seems obvious, but somehow over the past 40 years the big brewcorps have convinced us that bland is best. Yesterday the Observer newspaper carried an article highlighting the rapid growth of small real ale brewers and the 'renaissance' in real ale in the face of a recession. Lager still accounts for over 74 percent of the beer market, so real ale has a long way to go, but that doesn't mean British drinkers like mainstream lager much, or will stick with it when shown alternatives. Mainstream lager is the Microsoft Windows of the beer world. It is usually the safe choice, even if the overall experience is vaguely disappointing. I am confident that if exposed to lovingly made, refreshing, hoppy alternatives, a lot more people would move away from the bland end of the lager market. After all, "safe, but vaguely disappointing" isn't really a sensible way to make any kind of decision, is it?
Significantly, Siba's smaller members, who each brew fewer than 350 barrels a week and constitute the vast majority of its membership, saw volume sales rise by 8.5%, an impressive achievement in the jaws of a recession.
"A lot of our members are professional brewers who have worked for the big brewers and have now set up their own business," said Grocock, whose organisation had only 20 members in 1980. "They are brewing all sorts of beers; we are not just talking about bitter and mild, but stouts and porters, wheat beers, heather beers up in Scotland. There's now a huge variety out there." More.

I need perform regression analysis for all groups separately.
The formula is simple
mymodel=lm(y~.,data=reg)

I.e. i must perform analysis for a+b group and c+d group separately.
In this example  we have only 2 groups(a+b and c+d)
where a,c-mean name of shop, and b,d -mean name of vendor code.
How can i perform regression ananysis separately by groups, cause in real data, there are several ten groups, manually divide on the datasets it's impossible.

A: This is a relatively common analytical pattern called split - apply - combine and it is fairly easy to perform with R:
library(tidyverse)
library(broom)

create a function for lm:
my_lm <- function(df) {
  lm(Y ~ ., data = df)
}

run the models on nested groups of data:
df %>%
  group_by(art, shop) %>%
  nest() %>%
  mutate(fit = map(data, my_lm),
         tidy = map(fit, tidy)) %>%
  select(-fit, - data) %>%
  unnest()

First you group by the variables by the desired variables, fit the lm model to the groups use tidy to extract the coefficients, remove unwanted columns and then unnest. The result is:
#output

Delhi no more the most polluted city in the world, says WHO report
This story is from May 12, 2016
Jayashree Nandi | TNN | Updated: May 12, 2016, 13:20 IST
• Zabol in Iran is the most polluted city in the world in terms of PM 2.5, according to WHO
• Gwalior and Allahabad are a close second and third; Beijing ranks far below at 56th
• This is considerable improvement since 2014 when Delhi was ranked most polluted city in terms of PM 2.5 levels
Delhi now ranks 11th among 3,000 cities in 103 countries. (Representative photo)
NEW DELHI: Delhi is not the most polluted city in the world any more, according to the World Health Organisation's (WHO) urban air quality database released on Thursday.
In fact, it now ranks 11th among 3,000 cities in 103 countries in terms of PM 2.5 (fine, particulate pollution) and 25th in terms of PM 10 (coarse pollution particles) levels. This is though a considerable improvement since 2014 when Delhi was ranked the most polluted city in terms of PM 2.5 levels, WHO had monitored only 1600 cities last time. This time 1400 more cities have been included in the database.
Zabol in Iran is the most polluted city in the world according to the database. Gwalior and Allahabad are a close second and third in terms of PM 2.5, which is associated with more serious health impacts than PM 10. Patna and Raipur rank 6th and 7th. Totally, four Indian cities are among the world's ten most polluted cities, 10 out top 20 are also in India. In WHO's 2014 report, 13 out of 20 most polluted cities were in India.
Delhi's annual PM 2.5 mean for 2013 (second half) is 122 micrograms per cubic metres according to WHO's latest report compared to 153 micrograms per cubic metres as per WHO's previous report. Delhi's annual mean is about three times the Indian safe standard and 12 times the WHO standard of 10 micrograms per cubic metres. Chinese cities Xintai and Baoding are at ninth and 10th in the ranking, Beijing ranks far below at 56th. Beijing was at 75th last time. Sinclair in US is the least polluted city with an annual mean of only 2 micrograms per cubic metres.
WHO used data from various government and research organisations for the database, it's based on ground measurements of annual mean concentrations of particulate matter (PM 10 and PM 2.5) and "aims at representing an average for the city or town as a whole, rather than for individual stations. Years of measurements range from 2010 to 2015, unless the latest available data was older," the report said.
Experts said Delhi's efforts to control air pollution may have reflected in the improvement in ranking. Some however also raised an interesting point - WHO has been mainly focusing on particulate matter (PM) but not so much on oxides of nitrogen (NOx) which is a problem in many parts of the West. "To get a more accurate and balanced picture of air quality globally, WHO should have taken NOx in to account too. NOx levels are in high in many parts of Europe too," said an expert.
Global trends since 2008 show air pollution levels have gone up by 8% despite improvements in many cities. WHO in its statement also said urban air pollution levels were lowest in high-income countries, with lower levels most prevalent in Europe, the Americas, and the Western Pacific Region but highest in low-and middle-income countries in eastern Mediterranean and South-East Asia Regions, with annual mean levels often exceeding 5-10 times WHO limits.
"It is crucial for city and national governments to make urban air quality a health and development priority," said WHO's Dr Carlos Dora. "When air quality improves, health costs from air pollution-related diseases shrink, worker productivity expands and life expectancy grows. Reducing air pollution also brings an added climate bonus, which can become a part of countries' commitments to the climate treaty," he added. During the World Health Assembly, between 24-30 May, member states will discuss a road map for an enhanced global response to the adverse health effects of air pollution.
"Delhi has improved. Ahmedabad has stabilized and Patna has worsened. We have seen that Delhi has managed to arrest the declining air quality trend in 2015. Air policy action has started kicking in - with an environment compensation charge on on trucks, action against other sources. We are responding to action but the levels are still very high in the city, it only shows that action has to be sustained to meet clean targets," said Anumita Roy Chowdhury, executive director, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE).
"I am not surprised that four Indian cities are in the top ten list. In 2014, 13 out of top 20 cities were from India. Our fossil fuel consumption has increased since then. In India there are also multiple sources of particulate matter emissions that need to be addressed urgently like industries, thermal power plants, and biomass burning. The environment ministry has recently announced standards for thermal power plants. That's a welcome solution but we need an action plan now and will have to move away from a fossil fuel dependent economy," said Sunil Dahiya, campaigner with Greenpeace India.

Roadside Bomb Kills 18 in Southern Afghanistan
by Naharnet Newsdesk 29 July 2011, 10:56
A minibus ran over a roadside bomb Friday in southern Afghanistan, killing all 18 passengers, police said.
"The mine was very powerful and destroyed the vehicle," said Kamaluddin Sherzai, deputy police chief in the southern Helmand province. "They were all civilians. Some were children."
Police who responded to the morning explosion in the province's Nahri Sarraj district came under fire from insurgents, but there were no casualties among the policemen.
However, Sherzai said three Afghan policemen died in a fight with insurgents Thursday night in Helmand's Gereshk district.
Violence has been on the rise as the Taliban and other insurgents try to regain territory lost in the fall and winter to the U.S.-led coalition in southern Afghanistan.
Suicide attacks and other bombings have intensified as militants try to undermine confidence in the Afghan government's ability to provide security as U.S. and other coalition combat forces start to withdraw.
In its midyear report, the United Nations said the number of Afghan civilians killed in war-related violence rose 15 percent in the first half of this year.
The report said 1,462 Afghan civilians lost their lives, including 444 killed by roadside bombs. During the first half of last year, 1,271 Afghan civilians were killed in crossfire in the fighting between Taliban insurgents and Afghan, U.S. and NATO forces.

I still cannot understand what these savages achieve by killing poor innocent civilians?
Muslim extremists keep screaming that America and NATO are killing Muslims while they do the slaughtering themselves.
This violence is disgusting and unjustifiably committed by barbarians who do not belong to the human race.
