Meet Kim Haas: The Host Of The New PBS Show Celebrating Afro Latino Culture

At the age of 7, Philadelphia native Kim Haas took her first trip out of the country. She traveled to Acapulco, Mexico with her grandmother and the experience changed her life forever.
It was during that trip that her ears were opened to her newfound love of the Spanish language. From that point on, she studied the language extensively and earned both her undergraduate and graduate degree in Spanish–which included a year studying abroad in Seville, Spain.
"During that trip with my grandmother, someone taught me how to count up to 20 in Spanish, while sitting in my hotel lobby," Kim Haas told Travel Noire. "It really inspired me to go on to study the language even more."

After completing her studies, she began traveling to Spanish-speaking countries extensively. What she came across in these places, didn't match up to what was being portrayed by the media on Spanish television shows and networks.
"I started learning more about the middle passage and the number of African people that were taken to the Caribbean, Latin and South America. When I would travel, I would take notice of the Black Spanish-speaking people in these countries and the contributions they made to their countries. But, none of this was reflected on Spanish TV in the United States."
The lack of representation in media coupled with Kim's personal interactions and meetings with Afro Spanish-speaking people in her travels, inspired her to create a television series that would highlight and celebrate the rich history and culture that Black people contributed to these nations.
Kim has been able to meet Black people in Venezuela, Cuba, Peru, and even Mexico to name a few. She has heard their stories, seen their art, and sampled the cuisines.
Her show, Afro Latino Travels With Kim Haas, will honor and celebrate the contributions of African descendants of Latin and Caribbean culture.
"Their stories deserve to be heard," Kim said. "They need to be seen by television audiences and allowed to express themselves through their art and cuisine."
Kim personally reached out to her local PBS affiliate in Jersey City, where she now resides, to pitch the idea for the show. The network loved it and decided to pick it up.
She connected with the tourism board in Costa Rica and they were very supportive and welcoming of the idea as well. The show will premiere with two-episodes highlighting Afro-Costa Rican culture in San Jose as well as Limon.
Kim points out that in the Costa Rica episodes, you will see how Jamaican people immigrated to Costa Rica for work, and were the main people responsible for building the country's railroad system. They remained in the area, and now Jamaican culture has heavily influenced the cuisine and music of Costa Rica.
The first episode will officially air on September 12th, on New York City's local PBS channel. All other cities will need to check their local listings for air date and time.
"We must start including the Afro-Latin experience as an integral part of Latin America and the Caribbean. They literally helped to build the infrastructure of these places."
Kim and her crew were slated for additional shooting in Salvador, Brazil, but the pandemic has postponed that. However, they plan to travel through and cover all of Latin America starting next year.
"It will take some time to really open people's awareness to Afro Latin contributions to these places, but it is definitely happening and for that I am hopeful," Kim said.

April 1: FOR RENT – CHEEP!
One room condo, great location, close to schools, kind landlady. Perfect for growing family! House sparrows need not apply.
July 21: I'm a baby bird hostess again! Finally there are baby wrens in the nest box. Can't see them, but I hear their chatter when a parent comes in with food.
July 27: No dessert until you eat your bees!
There are at least 3 baby wrens in my box.
July 28: It's a big wide world out there, little one. Are you sure you're ready?
Apparently so, my wren babies have left the nest box!
July 29: Meanwhile, back at the Refuge…other baby wrens are out of the nest and being fed by other harried parents.
The always amazing Circle of Life.

Changes are going on at Sony Pictures Animation. Aardman staffers, over from the United Kingdom, occupy a part of the building, readying Arthur Christmas*, due for release in 2011.
"Chris Jenkins has come on board as a director, and we're reworking the story. The last time through was kind of a transition from the old story to the newer one. We've now got the green light to make more changes, and we'll be making them."
I told them I had a full head of dark hair when Hotel Transylvania first went into work. (This tracks my Rapunzel joke.) Two artists said they could almost believe it.
Meanwhile, the latest Open Season III continues in work, animated by Reel FX in Texas, and the buzz is that there might be an Open Season IV.
And of course we must never forget that The Smurfs has started production. In our darker moments of despair, we must hold fast to that reality ... and rejoice in it.
How long does it take to put Hotel T story together? Storytelling is not easy but it's not rocket science.
And Matt O'Callahan, I believe is helping shove it through.
All that wasted money and time. Horrible executive team (albeit better than the previous one).
And sadly run by a bunch of tech heads instead of creative artists. The lame executives think the tech heads know better. What an obvious mistake.
"They want to animate the CG Popeye in the Fleischer, rubber hose style ..."
I find this pretty interesting, if it turns out to be true. The Fleishcers really had their own animation style and cartoon universe, which was pretty far removed from Disney and other West Coast studios.
I think it should be noted that 80% of Hotel Transylvania and Smurfs will be done in Vancouver and not in LA. All the leads and even some Anim supes walked out, according to rumors/gossip. Does anyone know the real story of the recent exodus? I hear that the Culver City studio is a ghost town now.
SPA has lost five of their animation sups, as well as Hotel T's most recent director Jill Culton and that project's producer. Not sure the reasons behind their all leaving but it does not sound good now does it?
Sony has some kind of clinical aversion to being successful. They inspire their artists with fear and they have accountants and MBA's giving story notes who, ironically enough, have zero concept as to how incredibly expensive their unworkable notes really are. Upper management is completely disinterested in retaining top talent and quite frankly, unable to appreciate how essential their contributions are to the greater success of the company.
"They inspire their artists with fear"
So they are choosing the Fox route over Dreamworks.

Spencer signed on to House Bill 952 that would allow for the sale of consumer fireworks in the state of Georgia. This legislation would bring regulations on fireworks sales closer to the laws in neighboring states and provide much needed sales tax revenue to the state budget.
On Wednesday, the House passed House Bill 737 that allows for up to 128 ounces of home-brewed malt beverages to be transported to another unlicensed location and consumed by the brewer, owner of the location and any guests. HB 737 passed 160-3.
On Friday, the House passed House Bill 766, the Work Based Learning Act, that updates language and requirements from a 1994 law allowing high school students in the 11th and 12th grades to participate in apprenticeship programs with local businesses and employers and receive academic credit. This legislation opens the program to any student over the age of 16 and revises language related to changes in the workforce and economy since the 1990s. HB 766 passed 163-1.
Each of these bills will now go to the Senate for consideration.
The House will reconvene for Legislative Day 20 tomorrow at 10:00am and will be in session through Thursday of this week barring inclement weather. Keep an eye on the forecast this week as the Weather Channel has issued a Winter Storm Watch from Tuesday at 7:00pm through Wednesday at 7:00am with the potential for some icing during the Wednesday morning commute. Have a great week!

Update: Oscars list your name. for consideration with Kingsglaive, Miss Hokusai, The Red Turtle
Posted on November 14, 2016 by Elisabeth in News // 5 Comments
Makoto Shinkai's your name. had a nine week run of smashing all records and opposition, ranking #1 at the box office all that time, and pushing past Miyazaki's Ponyo and James Cameron's Avatar in Japan's all-time box office top 10. Then, after all the dramatic promo build up, Death Note Light up the NEW world came along to knock it off the weekly top spot. But your name. bounced right back, moving back up to #1 in its 11th weekend and leaving Death Note at #2. And now it's set to conquer the Oscars, as the film has made the awards' Best Animated Feature consideration list.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced their official list of submissions for the award on Friday. A record of 27 films are being considered for the 89th Academy Awards' Animated Feature category, the ceremony set to take place on February 26th, 2017. Takeshi Nozue's Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV, Keiichi Hara's Miss Hokusai, and Michael Dudok de Wit, Wild Bunch and Studio Ghibli's The Red Turtle are also being considered, and the Academy will reveal its nominees on January 24th. Here's the full list of submitted films:
April and the Extraordinary World
Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV
Kubo and the Two Strings
Long Way North
Miss Hokusai
Mune
Mustafa & the Magician
My Life as a Zucchini
Phantom Boy
The Red Turtle
Snowtime!
The Oscar-qualifying run for your name. will take place in Los Angeles from December 2nd-8th at the Laemmle Music Hall. FUNimation note that the film will now be competing for one of five nomination spots in its category. Further info is given in FUNimation's official statement.
In the meantime, it just keeps climbing up Japan's all-time list. Earning 17.6 billion yen, it's knocked Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets down from #8, then Bayside Shakedown 2 from #7 to become the 7th highest-grossing film in Japan itself. Here's how that list stands as of press time:
All-Time Box Office Top 10 in Japan:
1. Spirited Away (2001/30.8 billion yen)
2. Titanic (1998/26.2 billion)
3. Frozen (2014/25.48 billion)
4. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone (2001/20.3 billion)
5. Howl's Moving Castle (2004/19.6 billion
6. Princess Mononoke (1997/19.3 billion)
7. your name. (2016/17.6 billion)
8. Bayside Shakedown 2 (2003/17.35 billion)
9. Harry Potter and the Chamber Of Secrets (2002/17.3 billion)
10. Avatar (2010/15.6 billion)
your name. is now also the fourth highest-grossing Japanese film in Japan, as well as the fourth highest-grossing anime film in the country. The all-Miyazaki top trio, as you can see above, are Spirited Away at 30.8 billion yen, Howl's Moving Castle at 19.6 billion yen, and Princess Mononoke at 19.3 billion yen. But Howl and Mononoke's places are both in danger, as it's been projected that your name. could even approach the 20 billion mark.
Now that Madman have opened an Australian website for the film, we can see an English subtitled version of the official trailer:
In its fifth week the movie crossed the 10 billion yen threshold, becoming the first anime movie not directed by Hayao Miyazaki to achieve such success at the Japanese box office, and Japan's highest-grossing 2016 film overall. Shinkai was shaken by the whole prospect, but now it's surpassed even Avatar and Harry Potter in earnings, he's going to have to come to terms with the fact he's created a modern classic.

It's crazy how popular it is here in Japan. If you go to the movies on a Saturday night, even though the movie came out nearly two months ago, you still might not be able to get a ticket! It is certainly impressive, and really cool to witness firsthand.

I knew people had gone nuts for this in Japan, but that's incredible. Makes me so excited to watch it!

Really curious about this movie. I have not seen it yet, but I have heard so many absolutely amazing things about it, that I really can't wait to see it 😀
Me neither, the two of us have to go a bit out of our way to see it, because where we live is a cultural flatline, but we really don't want to miss this.

I hadn't even heard of this movie until I saw this post. I'll definitely be checking it out.

Who would've ever expected Dolly Parton to end a show with a Led Zeppelin tune, not to mention the iconic rock group's most famous track?
That's just what the country legend did in this clip of her Live and Well concert in 2002. The show took place at the musician's theme park in Tennessee and featured an epic Dolly rendition of the already epic "Stairway to Heaven".
While Dolly Parton and Led Zeppelin don't exactly walk hand-in-hand in the music scene, Parton's angelic voice does the track justice.
Don't expect shredding instrumentals or guitar solos here. The country star's vocals alone, like always, steal the show. Parton's pristine voice is backed by acoustic instruments rather than their electric counterparts associated with the original by Led Zeppelin. Of course, you'll spot a banjo onstage behind the singer.
Despite her genre-crossing, Robert Plant, lead singer of Led Zeppelin and co-writer of the timeless track, approved of the cover.
"You know, it's just so kinda odd that the artist and the elements are not in tune," he said. The thing is that she's not wailing - she's keeping it within the genre, and she's a good singer."
Parton featured her cover of "Stairway to Heaven" on her 37th studio album, Halos & Horns, released in 2002. The concert above was recorded for her Live and Well live album, released the same year.

Bending the Biodiversity Loss Curve Requires big Change
By Jamison Ervin
The UN will be hosting the first-ever Biodiversity Summit – remotely – on September 30.
UNITED NATIONS, Sep 23 2020 (IPS) – A spate of reports on biodiversity – the Global Assessment Report on Biodiversity and Ecosystems, the Living Planet Report, the Global Forest Resources Assessment Report and the Global Biodiversity Outlook– paint a stark picture for the world's biodiversity.All point in the same direction: we are on track to lose more than a million species by mid-century, we lost 68% of all wildlife populations since 1970, we lost more than 11 million hectares of primary forest last year, and we have failed to meet almost all of the conservation targets in the decade-long Strategic Plan for Biodiversity.
Failure to halt the loss of biodiversity, let alone reverse historic trends, has grave consequences for all of humanity. The livelihoods, food, water security and safety of billions of people are at risk.
The stability of our climate is at risk. Half of global GDP is at risk. Buffers against the next pandemic are at risk. Indeed, the very future of humanity is at risk. Halting biodiversity loss and restoring the health of the planet requires several profound and systemic transformations.
We must place nature at the heart of sustainable development. Because nature plays such as fundamental role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals, all nations must take a closer look at how to integrate the protection, restoration and sustainable management of biodiversity and ecosystems into their national climate, health, water, security and development plans.
We must tackle the root causes of biodiversity loss – the unchecked economic and market forces that fail to account for nature's values. Our current economic system favors short-term gain over long-term stewardship of nature.
Governments must find ways to ensure that their national expenditures align, and do not countermand, their national development goals, especially those goals that depend on healthy ecosystems.
At the same time, we must ensure that corporations and finance institutions place nature at the center of financial decision-making by holding them accountable to the impacts of their decisions on the health of biodiversity and ecosystems.
We must invest in nature protection and recovery. While the cost of inaction on nature is profound, the economic cost of investing in nature is not. We currently spend less than $100 billion a year on nature — about what we spend on pet food globally.
We only need an additional $700 billion annually to achieve ambitious biodiversity goals for 2030 – that's less than 1% of global GDP, and only a fraction of the $5.2 trillion that we spend on fossil fuel subsidies every year.
We must increase our global ambition for immediate action on nature. We are facing a complex and interacting planetary emergency – a nature crisis, a biodiversity crisis, a health crisis and an inequality crisis all at once.
To fully respond to this emergency, we need bold ambition, commitment and action at all levels, from local to global. We must commit to creating a nature-based planetary safety net, in response to our planetary emergency.
One way to do that is through greening Covid-19 economic recovery and stimulus packages a step many countries have yet to take.
We must transform global production and consumption. For example, global appetites for beef are responsible for as much as half of forest cover loss worldwide, while unsustainable agricultural practices are responsible for nearly a quarter of our global greenhouse gas emissions.
We must increase global commitment and accountability for deforestation-free commodities, though initiatives such as the New York Declaration on Forests.
We must promote, celebrate and accelerate local action on nature if we are to tackle our planetary emergency – we need an all-of-society approach. Examples such as UNDP's Equator Initiative showcase how the world is witnessing action on nature by youth, Indigenous peoples and local communities in every country and in thousands of communities.
By protecting, restoring and sustainably managing biodiversity, local actors can realize direct and tangible development dividends. To support local efforts, we must also strengthen governance and rule of law, especially for the 90 percent of Indigenous peoples who lack title for their lands, and who face murder, persecution and intimidation, often by multi-national corporations.
We must raise awareness of all levels of society of the value of nature, and of the risks inherent in biodiversity loss. In September, a campaign to promote the hashtag #NatureForLife has already garnered more than 50 million views.
But we must do more to raise global awareness. On the margins of the UN General Assembly, marking the 75th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations, UNDP is convening more than 40 partners to create a virtual "Nature for Life Hub," involving more than 300 speakers from every walk of life.
Join us, either during or after the event, and help us strengthen global resolve to bend the curve on biodiversity loss – for nature, and for life.

Folks, there's a new boy in town, and he's sure looking mighty fine!
Tucked down Meyers Place, Mr Big Stuff is Melbourne's hottest new American joint, dishing out fancy soul food and funky tunes to the hungry city hordes.
The restaurant, named after Jean Knight's popular song, sure has the whole '70s, soulful vibe down pat, their sleek fit-out paying homage to African-American pop culture. You'll also find a DJ perched in the corner Thursday to Saturday, spinning everything from Ray Charles to TLC. The soundproofed walls ensure things only get funkier at Mr Big Stuff as the night goes on.
Now, on to the food. Woah Momma, the food!
The Mr Big Stuff kitchen, helmed by former head chef of Grossi Florentino, Louis Naepels, pumps out what's best described as American soul food made fancy. Naepels isn't afraid to use the whole animal, either, with small bowls of salty, spicy pig ear 'chips' and honey-glazed sweetbread 'nuggets' up for starters. The menu also features roasted bone marrow with pickles, smeared onto thick chunks of sourdough, moreish ox tail sliders, and a tongue in cheek dish that is, well, exactly that – veal, grilled tongue and braised cheek perched atop sweet potato puree.
While all the nobbly, wobbly bits are undeniably delicious, we all know one of the greatest tests of an American joint is the ribs, and Mr Big Stuff certainly didn't disappoint. Cooked low 'n' slow and smothered in a bourbon-spiked barbeque sauce, Mr Big Stuff's ribs are melt-in-your-mouth, pass-me-a-bib good. While they come with a side of tasty 'slaw, we suggest you pile your plate high with their mac 'n' cheese (it puts Kraft to shame) and mop it all up with some toasty cornbread. Hot damn.
The second greatest test of soul food? The fried chicken. You'd better prepare yourselves, because Mr Big Stuff serve theirs atop of waffles. Yes, waffles. Thick waffles dusted with powdered sugar, big hunk-a-chunks of cajun-spiced fried chicken, all topped with a glorious (self-administered) slug of maple syrup. It feels so wrong but it tastes so right. Just go with it.
Oh, but don't forget your greens! Mr Big Stuff pimps up traditional collard greens big time, dressing kale leaves in a tasty honey vinegar, topped with sweet candied yams and pecans. We ordered two bowls. If only all kale tasted this darn good!
So, as you can imagine, at this point in the evening we were clutching our sides, begging the lord to show mercy on our waistlines. And then we spied the dessert menu. Mr Big Stuff keeps the sweet treats simple, with rum-spiked apple pie and a tasty quince and rhubarb cobbler. Live large and get both.
The soulful feels continue with the drinks list. Their fancy, shmacy take on Kool-Aid sees spirits mixed with cold pressed juices, freshly squeezed lemon and soda water, including winning combos like Beefeater gin and strawberry, Jose Cuervo and kiwi, Ketel One vodka with watermelon and, our pick of the bunch, Martel V.S.O.P Cognac with grapes. You can keep your juice a virgin, if you so desire (trust us, you don't).
Likewise, you're onto a winner with Mr Big Stuff's cold brewed ice teas, served alcoholic or non-alcoholic, big or real big, with a little side jug of sugar syrup so you can adjust the sweetness. Not sweet enough for you? Take on the Egg Cream, a milkshake of sorts with homemade chocolate sauce, cream and soda. Pimp it with spiced rum and you've got yourself a party in the USA.
Fancy, soulful American eats and funky beats in the heart of the CBD. Oh Mr Big Stuff, the pleasure is all ours!

Warning over dangerous illegal raves planned across North Wales this Bank Holiday weekend
Patrols will be stepped up to shut down any events that take place
Police are warning against people organising and attending illegal raves (Image: PA)
Police fear that illegal raves have been organised across North Wales over the upcoming Bank Holiday weekend.
Officers are urging people not to attend or organise raves and unlicensed music events for their own safety.
North Wales Police has launched "Operation Blue Forest" in a bid to tackle raves that are being planned and patrols will be stepped up to stop the gatherings going ahead.
Supt Jason Devonport said that the force has tried to engage with organisers of previous events to warn them of the "significant risks" involved, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic.
One death and another rise in North Wales coronavirus cases across three areas
Armed police arrest man at Taser-point after car chase
He said: "Preventing these events from taking place is incredibly important to ensure the safety of everyone across north Wales. These raves pose significant risks, and we are committed to working with our local authority partners and key stakeholders to prevent further unlicensed events from taking place.
"We will be actively patrolling the road network across north Wales over the next few days to disrupt any such incidents.
"These types of events are unacceptable, and especially with the ongoing threat of Covid-19 they put lives at risk; they will not be tolerated."
It comes after an illegal rave was held at a forest within Clocaenog, near Ruthin, last month.
More than 100 partygoers were said to have attended with music blasting into the early hours of the morning.


PARK COUNTY, Colo. -- A teenager has not been seen since Friday after a fire caused significant damage to her home, the Park County Sheriff's Office said.
Maggie Long, 17 of Bailey, was reported missing Friday after she didn't show up to a concert at Platte Canyon High School that she helped organize, the Canyon Courier reported.
Long went home to retrieve something before she planned to return to the school for the concert, the sheriff's office said. Her vehicle was at her home as of Saturday night.
Long's sister posted about her disappearance on Facebook on Friday night.
The fire broke out about 6 p.m. Friday in the 3700 block of County Road 43 that is being investigated as arson, the sheriff's office said.
No search parties are being organized, Park County Sheriff Fred Wegener said in a statement.
A sheriff's office spokesman said the home is where Long long lives. There is significant damage to the home, but the spokesman said it's not clear if anyone was inside at the time of the fire.
A message posted to the sheriff's office Facebook page on Sunday apologized for keeping the details of the case under wraps.
The tweet read, "We are sorry we are unable to reveal more information. This is an arson investigation and we don't believe there is a risk to the public. We continue to ask for prayers for the Long family."
Platte Canyon School District RE-1 superintendent Brenda Krage said support in a letter to parents that supports resources will be available for students and staff at the school on Monday morning.

All These Things That I've Done
Lista delle versioni e commenti

[ Italiano ]
Lyrics and Music by Brandon Flowers
Album: Hot Fuss
This song appears on the Killers' debut album "Hot Fuss". It was released as the third single in 2004 in the U.K. and as the fourth single in the States. The single peaked at 74 on the Billboard Hot 100 and at 18 in the UK Singles Chart. It was the only song the band performed at Live 8. The song features an extended refrain of "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier", a phrase now associated with it: Robbie Williams incorporated this refrain into his own performance. Coldplay and U2 followed suit and, at their separate concerts played in Las Vegas, with The Killers in the crowd, incorporated the line into their songs "God Put a Smile upon Your Face" and "Beautiful Day", respectively.
It was featured in the closing credits of the 2005 film The Matador, as well as the 2007 movie Southland Tales as a crucial part of the storyline in which Pilot Abilene (played by Justin Timberlake) lip-synchs it. Also mentioned in the graphic novel preceding the film, Southland Tales: The Prequel Saga. It also played over the opening of the pilot of the television series Jericho. …It is heard at the end of the 2008 Ben Stein film Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed. While the band did give permission for the song to be used, they only did so because they were misled about the intent of the movie. They later sought to have the song removed from the film, but it was too late.
The song plays in virtually its entirety over the first segment of the first episode of the 2008 PBS documentary series Carrier. Nike used the song in a commercial for the 2008 Summer Olympics. Following this Nike ad, the song rose as high as #38 on iTunes. It is played at the Bell Centre in Montreal before every Montreal Canadians home game. It was used at the end of the 2009 U.S. Open tennis tournament to show the tournament's highlights.
Comedian Bill Bailey made reference to the lyrics "I got soul, but I'm not a soldier" in his Tinselworm Live DVD, mentioning that they were meaningless and might as well be "I got ham, but I'm not a hamster."
In October 2009, a band formed by War Child charity called The Young Soul Rebels (which includes musicians such as N-Dubz, Pixie Lott, Kid British, Tinchy Stryder and more) released "I Got Soul", which is a cover of "All These Things That I've Done".
Season 8 American Idol winner Kris Allen performed this on the Idol Tour as part of his set--a last-minute replacement for the coronation song, "No Boundaries".
The song was also used in Almost Skateboards' skate video, Almost: Round Three, for Daewon Song's part.
When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, Hold on…
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand
Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
And when there's nowhere else to run
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be.
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down,
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down.
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
If you can hold on,

confronta con l'originale
TUTTE QUESTE COSE CHE HO FATTO
Non c'è nessun posto dove fuggire
C'è spazio per un altro figlio ancora?
Un altro figlio ancora
Se riesci a resistere
Se riesci a resistere, Resisti…
Voglio alzarmi, voglio lasciarmi andare,
Lo sai, lo sai - non lo sai, non lo sai
Voglio brillare nel cuore degli uomini
Voglio un significato dal dorso della mia mano rotta
Un'altra testa duole, un altro cuore si spezza
Sono molto più vecchio di quanto potrei sopportare
E il mio affetto, beh va e viene
H bisogno della direzione verso la perfezione no, no, no
Aiutami a uscire
Sì, sai di dovermi aiutare ad uscire
Sì, non mettermi da parte
Sai di dovermi aiutare ad uscire
Questi cambiamenti non mi stanno cambiando,
Il ragazzo dal cuore di ghiaccio che ero
Finirai col crollare
Sì, finirai col crollare,
Sì, finirai col crollare,.
Ho un'anima, ma non sono un soldato
Sai di dovermi aiutare
Sopra e dentro, ultima chiamata per il peccato
Mentre tutti hanno perso, la battaglia è stata vinta
Con tutte queste cose che ho fatto

Glass Cannon Animations Unveils 'Tales From Coracle Lake'.
Sharon Lin August 25, 2016 ancient history, animation, Independent animation
Glass Cannon Animations, an independent team of animators from Yorkshire, have made a bold new leap into the world of animation through the release of "Tales from Coracle Lake: The Search for Spring". The film brings viewers back 8,000 years to the Mesolithic Era, at the time of the thawing of the icy tundra. The story follows a young girl, Mela, who explores the forgotten wilderness north of her homeland with her friends. While winter's end threatens her group's survival, Mela and her best friend Carr decide to find Spring and bring life back to their world.
Their animation is family-friendly and promises excitement and thrills, brought to life through hand-drawn animations. Through a collaboration with archaeologists from the University of York, the production studio has attempted to resurface a lost world, inspired by Star Carr, an archaeological site in North Yorkshire. Site director Prof. Nicky Milner explains, "The site is world famous in the archaeological world for the amazing range of artefacts it has uncovered and the insights into the Mesolithic period that it gives. One of the most amazing artifacts are incredibly rare headdresses made out of red deer skulls thought to have been used in shamanic practices. The site has captured the public imagination and has been featured on a number of television programmes, and in newspapers and magazines."
The trio of animators at Glass Cannon Animation have created independent works for the past four years, receiving recognition at film festival across Europe. They have now teamed to create an animated feature film set in an ancient era of human history. As Richard Jacobs, Head of Animation, explains, "We have yet to see a film that portrays prehistory with any degree of accuracy, and we want to set a high benchmark for stories set in the Mesolithic. That said, we don't believe the story needs to be bogged down by the facts either; the immersive and beautiful world speaks for itself, giving us the opportunity to tell a world class story." The project is near its completion, and the team is looking to fund a short proof-of-concept film, giving audiences a taste of the adventure that "Tales from Coracle Lake: The Search for Spring" will deliver.
Lisa Power from Glass Cannon explains, "We know this is a huge project, but we are ready to bring our experience into one feature piece which will be our sole focus at Glass Cannon for some time to come. We believe in the story and the setting, and are dedicated to telling our story on a global stage." Find out more about Glass Cannon Animations.

How 5 Surprise NCAA Teams Are Exceeding Expectations
By Matt Wheeler
Every college basketball season, a team or two takes fans and media by surprise and outperforms its preseason expectations. This year, there are several, and not only are these teams ahead of schedule, many are ranked in the Top 25 polls. Let's take a closer look at five men's NCAA programs that have drastically improved their records this year, and some of the offensive sets these squads are using to see their success.
Click on a diagram to add it to your FastDraw library or print/save as a PDF.
In his third season as head coach, Bobby Hurley has taken the Sun Devils to as high as #4 in the national rankings with a 14-3 record to start the season. This includes a signature non-conference road win at Kansas. ASU runs a guard-focused offense utilizing the skills of seniors Tra Holder and Kodi Justice, as well as junior Shannon Evans.
The Sun Devils ran this play to clear the floor and give Justice (3) a chance to drive to the basket. After 3 gets the pass from 1, 1 cuts in front of 3 and to the left side of the floor. 3 then drives to the right taking his defender one on one to the basket. 2 stays spread out on the perimeter to keep x2 from providing help.
Coach Chris Beard has done a tremendous job during his short time in Lubbock leading the Red Raiders to an 18-14 record and a NCAA Tournament bid in his first season. This year, the Red Raiders have continued their strong play and are looking to advance deeper into the postseason. TTU currently boasts a 15-2 record and a #8 ranking with two wins over top ten opponents.
The Red Raiders run a motion offense on most possessions looking to create using movement and screening actions. However, they will run set plays after timeouts and when they are looking to create for a specific player. In this box set, Texas Tech gets the ball to one of its guards cutting off of screens to receive the ball on the wing. There he will look to create out of a side pick and roll with the rest of the team spread out on the perimeter.
The Big 12 is one of the top conferences in the country right now with four teams in the top ten. Led by Coach Jamie Dixon, Texas Christian is the fifth ranked team in the conference, and has has reached #24 in the national rankings with a 13-4 start to the season.
In this early offense play, the Horned Frogs work to get 3 open for shot after running his defender through multiple screens. 1 starts the play with a pass to 3 on the wing. As the ball is swung to the other side of the floor, 3 cuts off of a back screen from 5 – a decoy action for misdirection. Once the ball is on the right side of the floor, 3 turns around to cut back off of a stagger screen from 5 and 4. If 3 isn't open, 1 cuts to the top to get the ball reversal. 3 can then run the baseline off a screen from 5 to get a shot on the other side of the floor.
The Clemson Tigers finished the 2016-17 season near the bottom of the ACC going 6-12 in league play with a 17-16 overall record. But with a veteran starting lineup that includes two seniors and three juniors, the Tigers have turned things around this season and currently sit in second place in the conference. Coach Brad Brownell's squad has nearly matched last years win total with a 15-2 record to start the season.
In this play, the Tigers use ball and player movement to isolate a side of the floor for a pindown screen for one of their perimeter players. 1 passes to 4 on the wing then cuts to the ball side corner. 2 then V-cuts to receive the pass up top from 4. 5 then sets a pindown screen for 3. Because the Tigers have isolated the left side of the floor, 3 and 5 are playing 2-on-2 off the screen without any other help defenders in the area. When 3 receives the pass and sees x5 providing help, he quickly passes to 5 for the finish at the rim.
In his first season in Raleigh, Head Coach Kevin Keatts has led the Wolfpack to a 12-6 start including three top-25 wins. They have a balanced scoring attack in their ball screen heavy offense led by guard Allerik Freeman and center Omer Yurtseven, who is currently shooting 64% from 3-point range.
The Wolfpack used this after timeout play to allow Freeman (3) to create off the dribble and Yurtseven (5) to stretch the floor from the 3 point line. They started the play with 3 making an Iverson cut off of 4 and 5 to receive the pass from 1 on the wing. 1 cut to the corner to provide spacing as 3 dribbled off of the stagger ball screen from 5 and 4. As 3 turned the corner on the second ball screen, x4 had to provide help. 4 then rolled to the rim forcing x5 to provide help on him. This allowed 5 to get an open look at a three point shot off of the pass from 3.
It will be interesting to keep an eye on these teams the second half of the season. Will they continue their hot start as they get deeper into conference play? Will this momentum take them on an NCAA tournament run? If they keep executing sets like these, chances are they will.

Story created by Green Map System on November 23, 2018
Initiated by the Singapore Environment Council and the Green Volunteers Network, "Project Green Map" was first launched in June 2000 as an attempt to bring together all of Singapore's eco-resources into a single publication. As they wrote in their overview:
"Singapore is a small island city nation of 4.5 million blessed with abundant rain and sun and thus bountiful nature. We have a developed economy but still manage to preserve a good portion of land as nature reserves, parks and greenery. There are large numbers of terrestrial and aquatic species.
With the Green Map we wanted to raise public awareness about the abundant nature we still had and to overturn the view that Singapore is a concrete city with nothing green left to save.
The effect of the Singapore Green Map is probably more indirect than we imagine. Instead of directly creating a class of green minded citizens the Singapore Green map probably helped to convince some people that conservation is indeed a worthy weekend activity. By getting people to go outdoors to appreciate nature and exposing them to the natural resources we have, fewer people dismiss the environment as something invisible".
Singapore A Levels Geography
" A collaboration among Junior Colleges, Centralized Institute and IP schools in the making of a Green Map of Singapore, the 2016 Advanced Level Geography Syllabus will be providing students with an in-depth study of Sustainable Urban Development. This project invites A level Geography students and teachers to collaborate in the making of an Open Green Map of Singapore. Such a map, when completed will provide both educators and students with a useful information about how sustainable and livable Singapore is.
Singapore, as it is all urban, is a living experiment for pure urban sustainability. The city is conscious of its finite resources and dependency on imports of basic necessities such as water, fuel and agricultural goods to sustain the island nation of 4.5 million people on less than 700 sq. km. In order to create Singapore's sustainable development strategy, the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Sustainable Development (IMCSD) was created and the output was the Sustainable Blueprint (IMCSD 2009). The Blueprint defines what sustainable development is for Singapore (IMCSD 2009):
• Efficient: Development occurs with less resources and waste
• Clean: Development occurs without polluting the environment
• Green: Development preserves greenery, waterways, and natural heritage"

Established in 1995, the Singapore Environment Council (SEC) is an independently managed, non-profit, non-government organization, and institution of public character that nurtures, facilitates and co-ordinates environmental causes in Singapore.


Simply put, your tires are the only parts of your vehicle that actually make contact with the road – so proper inflation, tire rotations, keeping an eye on tread wear, and matching your tires to weather and road conditions are very important. Tires affect your vehicle's handling, ride, and braking, and as such, it's essential to make sure they have the correct air pressure, tread depth, balance, and alignment.
WHEN SHOULD I BUY NEW TIRES?
Making sure your tires are in optimal condition on a regular basis is an important step in protecting both your safety and the safety of your vehicle.
In a perfect world, you should take a look at your tires about once a month. If you live in an area with a lot of potholes or other debris in the road, in an area with a cold climate (hi, Minnesota!), or put an abnormally high number of miles on your vehicle, you should inspect your tires a bit more often.
Improper air pressure in your tires can cause premature wear and tear, as well as impairing performance. Cold weather can cause tire pressure to decrease by about 1 PSI for every 10 degrees Fahrenheit the temperature drops, so be sure to check your tires more often during the winter months! It's also worth noting that the proper PSI for your vehicle is located on the tire information decal inside the driver's door or your owner's manual – not the tires themselves.
Rotating your tires regularly helps to prevent uneven wear on your tire tread. This is achieved by moving the wheels and tires from one position on the vehicle to another. The front tires will typically wear on the outside edges because of shifts in your vehicle's weight when you turn, while the rear tires simply follow the fronts and wear more evenly. Regular rotations (every 6,000 to 8,000 miles) will add thousands of miles to the life of your tires, saving you time and money!
Unfortunately, no matter how diligent you are about taking care of your tires, they will wear out eventually. It's recommended that you replace your tires every six years, regardless of tread wear. Of course, heavy use or inclement conditions can decrease tread depth long before the six-year mark, so keep a close eye on your tires and replace them when necessary – this is especially important in parts of the country that see heavy amounts of snow, ice, or rain during the winter months.
Too much air in your tires will force excessive contact between the center of the tire and the road. This leads to undue wear and tear on the middle of the tread, with much less wear on the tires edges.
Too little air in your tires will make the tire's outer edges be the primary point of contact with the road, which will lead to undue wear and tear on both edges of the tread, while the center will be relatively unaffected.
This usually happens when your wheels are out of alignment.
This could mean your wheel is out of balance, or that the shock absorbers/other suspension components on your vehicle may need to be replaced.
Both can be signs of an out-of-balance tire – one with the tread worn down to a flat spot from locking the wheels during a stop, or simply a tire with a separated belt.
If you're driving at a steady speed and your vehicle is pulling to one side, it could indicate an underinflated or damaged tire on the side of the car that's being pulled towards. In some cases, this could also be caused by a brake issue or poor wheel alignment.
Q: Do I really need winter tires?
A: Winter tires are different from all-season and summer tires in several ways, the most important of which being the fact that winter tires are made from a special rubber compound that remains flexible and soft below 45 degrees. This leads to improved handling, traction, and braking in winter weather conditions. If you're dealing with Minnesota or Wisconsin winters, winter tires are a wise investment.
Q: How do I know if my tires are worn?
It's important to know that all tires wear out over time. When you see that the tread is even with the wear bars, or you do the penny test and see all of Lincoln's head, you need new tires! If you're not comfortable deciding for yourself, bring your vehicle in to Morrie's!
Q: How often should I replace my tires?
A: It's recommended that you replace your tires every six years, regardless of tread wear. Of course, heavy use or inclement conditions can decrease tread depth long before the six-year mark, so keep a close eye on your tires and replace them when necessary – this is especially important in parts of the country that see heavy amounts of snow, ice, or rain during the winter months.
Q: How can tires help maximize my MPG?
A: Proper inflation is key to even tread wear and maximized fuel economy. Check your tire pressure once a month, especially as temperatures change. Cold weather can cause a decrease in tire pressure, so be sure to keep your tires inflated to the factory recommended PSI, which can be found on the placard inside of your driver's side door frame. Don't forget the spare!

When you leave Traverse Town it'll be in a Gummi Ship. This is how you travel around the worlds of Kingdom Hearts. You can customize a ship, purchase blue-prints, and participate in Gummi Ship Missions to further expand your prowess at defeating the Heartless while flying between worlds.
One of the first things you'll want to do when getting the Gummi Ship is to check out the tutorial on how to build ships. All ships need a cockpit and an engine, from there just add what you feel is necessary. Wings to turn faster, weapons to destroy, and even decorative items.
SYS UP1 and COM LV3 are unlocked by locking Agrabah's keyhole. You unlock Palette and SYS UP2 after defeating Riku for the second time at Hollow Bastion.
There are a plethora of Blueprints available in the game you can collect that offer different stats to your ship. You can get them traveling between worlds, talking to people, in Warp Holes, and by completing Gummi Ship Missions. Here's a list of each one and how it is aquired.
Gummi Ship Missions come in threes in all worlds. Most of these are unlocked as you go so you can complete them as you play, but it's recommended to wait until you've collected all the Dalmatians and have a full gummi set to tinker with.
After you complete all the missions, press the triangle button to reach the Gummi Ship Mission screen. Chip and Dale will interput to congratulate you with a Bahamut blueprint and Crown-G .
Mission 1 - Obtain a score of 80 or higher.
There's really nothing to this one, it's the easiest mission. You are rewarded with a Wheel-G.
Keep in mind that only obstacles give you Shields. Equip an Esuna-G and you'll be able to see a lot more of them. Osmose-G is great for snagging the ones that are way out there. You receive a Fang-G after completion.
You want to make a Gummi Ship that is small and compact, preferably fast. The best way to do this is use a cockpit, a Holy-G, and Haste2-G. Any more than that and you will get hit too easily. A trick for this mission is to put a Transform-G on this Gummi Ship and then clone it, linking it to it's clone. You'll want this for the beginning of the mission where there is a wall of obstacles and a large wave of enemies. Time your Transform on the first wall in the second difficult area and you can skip three of the four walls then have time to Transform again to avoid the fourth.
This is one of the easier missions, just take a good Gummi Ship and destroy everything.
Build a strong Gummi Ship and put Haste-G on it. Brake when you aren't boosting and you should be able to get quite a few uses before you arrive.
With a strong Gummi Ship you should be able to decelerate and destroy everything. Equip Esuna-G and an Osmose-G so you can see more and collect the Gummis that might be out of reach.
Mission 1 - Obtain a score of 180 or higher.
Equip all Thundara-G and take any other weapons off. Know that you can rotate the Thundara-G to shoot up/down as opposed to left/right. You'll want a good mix for this mission and that's really the trick to meeting the requirement. Likewise, put them all in one direction and use R1 to turn sideways and essentially shoot straight.
This could be a little difficult but the trick is equip all lasers. Meteor and Ultima are great for taking everything out in this mission. Equip an Osmose-G to collect the Specials and refill your Power meter so you can continue the carnage. You'll also need an Esuna-G as some obstacles are hidden.
It might be difficult to get this with the default Gummi Ship, but come back with a powerful one and you'll achieve this easily.
Since you will be focusing on collecting the Specials, equip ten lasers (Meteor-G and Ultima-G) and blow everything up. Keep an Osmose-G on to draw the Specials in and refill the Power meter.
Stagger all of your Thundaga-G so that when fired, it takes up a large amount of space. Remember that this weapon fires out slowly and doesn't go very far but it really packs a wallop. Wait for enemies to get closer before letting them have it and you'll clear this easily.
Like the previous missions, destroy everything and collect everything to break the score easily. Be sure to set off from Deep Jungle, Wonderland, or Olympus Coliseum so you'll have a long trip.
Load up on the Comet-Gs then set off. When you lock on and fire the Comet-G shoots in a high arc, but if you start up high and move down as you fire, you lessen the arc and hit your targets much more accurately.
Make a strong ship that can destroy everything then fill out the rest of the building area so that the ship uses the entire surface area. This will let you collect a ton of blocks without using Osmose-G.
You can set off from Deep Jungle or Olympus Coliseum to help out but you run the risk of Monstro. Instead leave from Neverland and break all the blue boulders. They are 50/50 on Armor or Power blocks, so hopefully you don't get unlucky.
Equip 10 Thunder-G so you can easily destroy anything, and set off from Neverland. You'll need to know when to stop firing or you'll break the large boulders in the background. It's also good to try and fire at an angle to break a lot of ships. Use Osmose-G carefully and make sure you take off any Esuna-G since you want to avoid obstacles. Once you achieve 240 points stop firing and coast through.
This is definitely one of the hardest Gummi Ship Missions, try not to get disappointed or frustrated. Like the previous mission, you can leave from far away but you have Monstro to contend with. It's easier to leave Neverland with a Gummi Ship that has 10 Thunder-G and a Transform-G to morph into another Gummi Ship with 6 Meteor-G and 4 Ultima-G.
Start off by blowing up all the ships at the beginning and the first asteroid field. You should come through with about 100 points, so focus on breaking some of the obstacles to score higher. After this you'll move between two large purple boulders that cannot be destroyed. Focus on destroying the smaller ships and leave the stronger ones alone. Enemies will come out of the next set of purple boulders, so you can get 8 easy points off of them.
The next part is a make or break area, you need to score high coming through here to get close to 200. There are a lot of ships before you reach an area with a ton of Special blocks, make sure you come out with a lot of points. When you clear the final area with the Specials, transform and start moving through the narrow area. Use your lasers to lock onto blocks that are hidden up in the ceiling and you can score a bunch of points easily without the fear of grabbing them. Once you achieved 260 points just coast through to the end.
This one isn't that difficult if you just leave from Wonderland or Deep Jungle. Remember that only blue boulders can spawn Power blocks.
Again, set off from Wonderland or Deep Jungle and this because simple.
Equip all of your Meteor-G and an Osmose-G, Esuna-G, and Fire-G. Go slow and be conservative on using Osmose-G to collect things other than a Special. Don't run out of energy before you achieve the required score, but don't be so stingy that you fail to score.
Equip all 10 Thunder-G in two rows, one of six and another of four, on different vertical plains (going horizontally). This will let you reach a wide range all at once and not diminish your firing power.
Make a giant cube, effectively 9x9 with weapons added, to achieve the 100 gummi block requirement. Take off Esuna-G but keep Osmose-G on and load up with a bunch of lasers. You should be able to destroy everything in your path before you can take damage.
This might sound like it's incredibly hard, but it's possible to achieve 999 (the maximum) obstacles long before you finish. Use a cockpit, Fire-G, Esuna-G, six Meteor-G, and one Thunder-G so you can still break things if you run out of Power. Decelerate the entire time and make sure you turn the correct way coming out of the warp.
Load up on Ultima-G and brake the whole way. Fire when you've locked on. There's plenty of enemies around for the maximum effect.
Start from Olympus Coliseum and brake the entire trip. Use your best Gummi Ship, something with a lot of lasers is preferable, and make sure to have Esuna-G and Osmose-G to collect everything. It shouldn't be too hard to achieve this score. Make sure you turn left coming out of the warp.
You can essentially do the exact same thing as the previous mission, just blow up everything in your path and boost whenever it's up.
Make a Gummi Ship with any cockpit and a Holy-G engine. You can fly over pretty much the entire mission, so ride the top of the screen and duck down when you are forced to, otherwise it's not that hard.
Make a Gummi Ship with a cockpit, Fire-G engine, and three Meteor-Gs as your weapon. At the start you can be a little loose with your Power usage since you'll get a bunch of Power items early. Through the asteroid field you'll want to be a little conservative, leave at least 2 Power by the end of it so you can break the blue boulders afterwards and really refill. When you reach the Omegas you'll want to let loose and hope you can break a few, leave at least a single shot for afterwards because you'll find a lot Power and Armor items shortly after. The final stretch is where you can make up a lot of points, so obliterate everything.
Make a huge Gummi Ship with 6 Meteor and 4 Thunder going horizontal across the center. Decelerate the entire time and use Osmose sparingly, but at the start you can pop it once or twice since you get power ups. Your goal before the asteroid field should be at least 75 points. Enter the asteroid field and focus on blasting rocks with Thunder and hitting the ships with Meteor. Use the ships size to grab a lot of the gummis that drop. Come out of here at around 225 points for a good pace.
The next area you can be a little more loose and break everything, but come out of it with 5-7 power so you can hit the swarm of Omegas. After the Omegas you'll want 465+ points or you can't make the objective. The ending is easy, blast everything and use Osmose to collect all the items. It'll be close right up to the end, but with a little luck you can close out the final mission.

Beneath the City are many tunnels and caverns and buried buildings and streets that have accumulated over the centuries that the City has been in existence. As new layers are added to the City, the old ones are buried and added to what is collectively termed the underground.
The upper levels contain buried streets that have been built over – lost cellars and ground floors with low ceilinged streets paved over to make room for new buildings as the people who live in the City change. Some of these streets have been converted into sewer systems and others still act as streets with people living away from what little sun there is.
The lower levels contain more purposeful tunnels, The beginnings of underground transport systems, old carriage routes, canals and subways. Many of them are collapsed or suffered damage from ancient earthquakes but there are still enough open that they can be used with relative safety if you know your way around.
The deepest levels of all contain natural rock fissures, underground portions of the river and cave systems. Even these caves are occupied by some people, however they are full of twists and turns and getting lost is incredibly easy. Many have gone down there and never returned, presumed lost forever in the maze. There are also many rumors of an enormous creature that stalks and hunts in the lower tunnels hunting and killing anyone who ventures down there unprepared, however no one alive can agree on what it looks like.
The dregs of society end up underground eking out an existence as best they can. As well as regular people living down here there are also smugglers and criminal gangs who either base themselves here out of the way of scrutiny or have safe houses and caches hidden underground for emergencies or merely use the underground as a way of traversing the city without being seen.
As well as the dispossessed you also find those who prefer living in the dark and many other strange creatures that have been summoned or altered by those above who have found themselves discarded down here and unexpectedly found themselves thriving.

News>Service>Wales Remembers the Christmas truce
Wales Remembers the Christmas truce
The Deputy Minister for Culture, Sport and Tourism, Ken Skates, will today represent Wales at a special commemorative service held by UEFA, Europe's Football Governing body, to mark the centenary of the First World War's famous Christmas truce.
The ceremony, taking place at the Comines-Warneton in Belgium, includes representatives from around Europe and was organised to remember a moment when hundreds of soldiers of different nationalities stopped fighting and were briefly united by a game of football.
The Welsh Government is leading on Wales' official programme of commemoration for the centenary of the First World War, Cymru'n Cofio Wales Remembers 1914-1918, working in partnership with organisations across Wales and beyond.
The Deputy Minister said:
"It is an honour to represent Wales at this special event. I am a firm believer in the power of sport in not only keeping people active and healthy, but in helping to build confidence, self-esteem and a sense of belonging.
"The now famous Christmas truce is a poignant example of this power, where people from different cultures and opposing sides in a devastating war were united by a game of football.
"We are proud to be leading Wales' centenary programme of commemoration of the First World War and of the way the public has responded to this. It's so important that we remember the sacrifices made for peace and freedom and the transformational effect this had on our history."
The Welsh Government has supported a Christmas Truce exhibition developed by the Royal Welch Fusiliers Museum and partners in Germany and France. The exhibition features items exchanged during the Christmas truce by soldiers from the regiments involved and is touring Wolkenstein in Saxony, Armentières in Nord Pas de Calais and at Bodelwyddan Castle in Wales between January 15 – March 31 2015.

Hard data, faster – getting more detailed GDP figures, sooner
As part of ONS's transformation plans we're working to introduce new sources of data that will help improve the quality, detail and timeliness of the UK's key economic statistics. This includes using VAT returns as an additional source of data for calculating Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
The main short-term data source currently is ONS monthly business survey (MBS), which gathers information from around 45,000 firms per month. While this allows us to calculate high quality, relatively timely, estimates of economic performance at a UK level, the size of the survey does not allow us to publish detailed data either at industry or local level.
Also, when other sources of information like the annual tax data from HMRC become available later in the process they may be the cause of revisions. While GDP revisions are unbiased and usually small, VAT turnover can help improve that performance further.
"ONS now has access to VAT returns from 2.2 million companies per quarter…"
ONS now has access to VAT returns from 2.2 million companies per quarter, allowing for an almost complete picture of the economy to be published within five months of the end of the period, along with detailed industry and local data available much more quickly than previously possible.
Working with this kind of big, complex and detailed dataset is not easy, but we're making good progress. We're on track to use these VAT returns as a key source for calculating GDP by the end of this year. We plan on initially using VAT for small and medium-sized companies (up to 99 employees), whose contribution to the overall economy is significant. We do not initially plan to use VAT for larger firms, as they are well covered by the MBS. In addition, larger businesses typically have complex structures and can consist of a holding company that reports its VAT and activity for several operating companies. Operating companies within these complex business structures are often spread across many industries.
Today we have published a new article, available here, giving more detail about our plans. We have also published low level data for the sports, amusement and recreation sectors of the economy, to highlight the opportunities this new source of data offers.
While this work is challenging, it is also imperative if ONS is to continue to produce the high- quality data that decision makers need in a rapidly evolving modern economy.

Chyna's manager has claimed that the former WWE wrestling star died from an accidental overdose of prescription sleeping pills and tranquillisers.
The star was found dead at her home in Redondo Beach, California last week (April 20). She was 45. TMZ reported at the time that officials were investigating a "possible overdose".
"She accidentally, over the course of two or three weeks, misused her legally prescribed medication," Anzaldo is quoted as saying, as reported by BBC Newsbeat.
Anzaldo added that the star "wasn't depressed" but that there was "a lot was going on in her life emotionally". Chyna might have been "self-medicating a little bit more than she should have", he said.
No official cause of death has been released by the Los Angeles County coroner's office, with results of toxicology tests not yet revealed.

This simulator is a dynamic model of a 52 MW Landfill Gas to Energy power plant. It is based on a real plant in Los Angeles - The Puente Hills Energy Recovery (PERG) Facility in Whittier, California. The landfill is owned and operated by Los Angeles County Sanitation Districts. The Puente Hills Landfill has over 42 millions tons of trash in place and is currently receiving refuse at the rate of 72,000 tons per week. Because of the size and the extensive gas collection system in place, approximately 20,000 SCFM of landfill gas is collected and burned to produce an average of 52 MW of electricity.
The plant is in operation since 1986. It consists of two steam generators each fring 8,700 SCFM of landfill gas. Each unit produces 200,000 lbs of steam per hour at 1,350 psig and 1000 deg. F. The steam is used to drive the turbine generator.
In this Landfill Gas to Energy Plant simulator, user can practice plant startup, shutdown, manipulate load setpoints or activate control systems interactively and review the system behavior on the graphical displays. In addition, user can insert an equipment malfunctions, and evaluate the automatic control system's responses or execute different operating strategies to mitigate the upset. The simulator is currently used for operator training.
