Cornish teenager sentenced for counter-terrorism offences
Monday 8th of February 2021 02:14:16 PM
Categorised in: B and B, crime
We don't tend to link Cornwall with terror offences but perhaps we should.
From Devon & Cornwall Police:
A 16-year-old boy from Cornwall has today [Monday 8 February] been sentenced to a 24 month youth rehabilitation order at the Old Bailey in London for offences against the Terrorism Act.
The boy, who cannot be named for legal reasons, appeared via video link and was sentenced by Mr Justice Dennis having previously pleaded guilty to two counts of disseminating a terrorist publication under section 2 of the Terrorism Act 2006 and 10 counts under section 58 of the Terrorism Act 2000 of collecting material of use to a terrorist.
The court previously heard how the boy was first arrested by officers from Devon and Cornwall Police and Counter Terrorism Policing South West in July 2019 having posted concerning comments online about trying to make a firearm.
As part of the subsequent investigation several digital media devices were seized by police and on review, officers identified a number of instructional manuals including bomb making and firearms manufacture, as well as over 50 detailed ideological texts.
There were also a significant amount of extreme right wing, white supremacist, homophobic and racist images and videos recovered as well as chat logs containing details of explicit extremist discussions.
Further investigation identified the boy as the leader of the UK cell for the worldwide online extremist group Feuerkrieg Division (FKD), which he had been a member of since the age of 14.
The boy was responsible for UK recruitment and vetting in order to admit others of a similar mind-set to the group. One of those that he recruited went on to be convicted of planning a terrorist attack in the UK.
The 16-year-old appeared at Westminster Magistrates Court on 17 July 2020, where he entered guilty pleas to all charges and was released on conditional bail to await sentencing.
He was sentenced by HHJ Dennis on Monday 8 February to a 24 month youth rehabilitation order.
Cornwall Commander, Chief Superintendent Jim Pearce said: "Officers from Counter Terrorism Policing South West and Devon and Cornwall Police carried out a detailed investigation into the materials found on the teenagers' devices and uncovered the extent of his involvement within this extremist group.
"The young age of the offender combined with the extreme hatred displayed and the quick progression of his role within the worldwide extremist group brings into sharp focus the real and clear danger of online radicalisation.
"Whilst there was no risk to our local area, extremist groups like this and their hateful agenda have no place in our society and threaten the safety of our communities and our children. We will continue to relentlessly pursue them using specialist teams within our force area and across the wider South West region."
Detective Inspector Mark Samuel from Counter Terrorism Policing South West said: "The story of this individual and the impact those choices have had serves as a timely reminder of the potential extremism that can lie beyond every computer and phone screen, which creates a risk for the young and vulnerable. This is especially true during lockdown where young people spend more time online, often alone and unsupervised.
"We would encourage those who care for young persons to have honest and frank conversations about online activity, to look out for the signs that indicate a potential shift in beliefs or attitude and to be intrusive on occasion to ensure they are safe online. The Act Early website has a wealth of information for anyone with concerns to help them understand what radicalisation looks like and provides advice on what to do in the first instance. The site also includes details of organisations outside of policing which can offer support.
"Every year thousands of reports from the public help police tackle the terrorist threat. If you see or hear something that doesn't seem right, trust your instincts and ACT by reporting to police in confidence at gov.uk/ACT.
"Reporting won't ruin lives, but it could save them. Action Counters Terrorism. Remember, in an emergency, always dial 999."

Aviary is an epic journey through what Julia Holter describes as "the cacophony of the mind in a melting world." Out on October 26 via Domino, it's the Los Angeles composer's most breathtakingly expansive album yet, full of startling turns and dazzling instrumental arrangements. The follow-up to her critically acclaimed 2015 record, Have You in My Wilderness, it takes as its starting point a line from a 2009 short story by writer Etel Adnan: "I found myself in an aviary full of shrieking birds." It's a scenario that sounds straight out of a horror movie, but it's also a pretty good metaphor for life in 2018, with its endless onslaught of political scandals, freakish natural disasters, and voices shouting their desires and resentments into the void.

Cabaret Voltaire was een avant-gardistisch theater, dat op 5 februari 1916 op initiatief van Hugo Ball en zijn minnares Emmy Hennings opgericht werd in een café op Spiegelgasse 1 in Zürich. De oprichting van Cabaret Voltaire geldt als beginpunt van het dadaïsme.

Het doel van Cabaret Voltaire was, volgens een aankondiging van 2 februari 1916, het opzetten van een centrum voor kunstzinnig amusement en bezoekende artiesten dagelijks de mogelijkheid bieden er muziek te spelen of gedichten voor te dragen. De optredenden van Cabaret Voltaire brachten eerst nog traditioneel werk zoals chansons en gedichten. Toen op 14 maart een Franse soiree werd georganiseerd werd ook een stuk uit Ubu Roi van Alfred Jarry voorgelezen. Dit vormde het begin van meer experimenteel werk. Toen men uiteindelijk besloot een tijdschrift op te richten met de naam Dada was het dadaïsme geboren, een beweging of antikunststroming genoemd naar een gelijknamig café.

Het theater werd genoemd naar de 18e-eeuwse Franse filosoof Voltaire, die in zijn boek Candide kritiek leverde op de belachelijkheden van zijn tijd. Het cabaret werd opgericht ter bespotting van de gangbare 'idealen van de cultuur en van de kunst' en was de zogenaamde 'Candide van onze tijd', aldus Hugo Ball in zijn dagboek Die Flucht aus der Zeit.

Nadien werden er bizarre voordrachten en eigenaardige shows opgevoerd. Men was dol op onzin en het irrationele en veel leden van de groep (onder wie Marcel Duchamp, Jean Arp en de dichter Tristan Tzara) werden later prominente surrealisten.

Q: Excel VBA - OT Hours span two pay periods - how to auto calculate I can't find anything in the archives of answered questions that addressed this.
I'm pretty good with Excel but this is frustrating me.
I've been tasked with improving the tool that our office staff uses to track regular hours, OT hours, and various paid leave.
I have a great start on the whole thing but because the company pay periods are bimonthly (1st to 15th and 16th to EOM) I'm running into difficulty automatically calculating the OT hours to pay when the work week (for the OT) spans two pay periods.
I have a column that shows the day of the week (Monday = 2, Tuesday =3, etc.) and I was trying to figure out how to look at the Day column and calculate all instances of Day2-Day6 hours to get OT hours (if any-I have a formula for that)to pay in the current pay period. I need to look backwards at the beginning of a new pay period if the new pay period does not start on Monday.
The spreadsheet has the prior pay period as well as the current pay period laid out.
I would sure appreciate any advice.
Have a lovely day - Lynda
Here is the data:
DayofWeek; Date; StartTime; EndTime; Lunch; Hours@Work; FringeType; FringeHours; TotalPayHours; WeeklyOTHrs (these are the column headers)
5 Thursday, March 16, 2017 7:30 17:00 1 8.50 8.50
6 Friday, March 17, 2017 8:00 16:30 0.5 8.00 8.00 12.00
2 Monday, March 20, 2017 7:30 17:00 1 8.50 H 8 16.50
3 Tuesday, March 21, 2017 8:10 16:30 1 7.33 7.33
4 Wednesday, March 22, 2017 8:00 17:00 1 8.00 V 8 16.00
5 Thursday, March 23, 2017 8:00 17:30 0.5 9.00 9.00
6 Friday, March 24, 2017 7:40 17:00 1 8.33 8.33 1.17

I now have a formula in the OT cells:
=IF($B30=6,IF(SUM(G26:G30)>40,SUM(G26:G30)-40,""),"")

A: Here are two options that might be helpful, both use the SUMIFS function. The first option needs less code, but requires that the start and end dates of the respective period are defined in cells outside the data table.
Option 1.
If you're only interested in the total for each pay period, you could skip the OT column and instead calculate the total outside the data table. Here's an example with only 3 columns. In the screenshot, B5 contains the following formula:
    =SUMIFS($C$12:$C$33,$A$12:$A$33,">="&$B$3,$A$12:$A$33,"<="&$B$4)

SUMIFS sums all values in column C if they are within the dates of the previous period as specified in cells B3 and B4.
Similarly, B9 contains a formula for the current period, as defined by cells B7 and B8:
   =SUMIFS($C$12:$C$33,$A$12:$A$33,">="&$B$7,$A$12:$A$33,"<="&$B$8)

Option 2.
If you want to track accumulated OT hours in each period, you can keep the OT column and add a variation of the formula above. In this example I have included two extra columns to define the start and end of the period (this makes the formula prettier; if you don't want extra columns, these formulas can be incorporated into the formula in column D).
In this screenshot, D3 contains the following formula:
=SUMIFS($C$3:$C3,$A$3:$A3,">="&E3,$A$3:$A3,"<="&F3)

This is essentially the same formula as in option 1, but the range increases for each row, so that D4 contains:
=SUMIFS($C$3:$C4,$A$3:$A4,">="&E3,$A$3:$A4,"<="&F3)

Also, the start and end dates of the period are dynamic and contained in columns E and F. The formulas check if the current date is in the first or second half of the month, and adjust the start and end dates accordingly.
Start date (cell E3):
=IF(A3<=DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),1),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),16))

End date (cell F3):
=IF(A3<=DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),EOMONTH(A3,0))

Note: If you want to avoid extra columns, you can incorporate columns E and F into D, so that cell D3 would contain:
=SUMIFS($C$3:$C3,$A$3:$A3,">="&IF(A3<=DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),1),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),16)),$A$3:$A3,"<="&IF(A3<=DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),DATE(YEAR(A3),MONTH(A3),15),EOMONTH(A3,0)))

Though Rebecca DeMornay's place in pop culture history was assured by two extreme roles - the glacially gorgeous prostitute in "Risky Business" (1983) and a devious psychopath in "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle" (1992) - the California native took great pains to prove that her talents laid beyond roles that were based solely around her icy blonde beauty. Over the course of her 20-plus-year career, DeMornay proved that she could handle characters of all stripes, from the scheming Lady De Winter in "The Three Musketeers" (1993), to terrorized Wendy Torrance in the TV remake of "The Shining" (1997) to the insecure mother of a trouble skateboarding champ in "Lords of Dogtown" (2005). Along the way, the enterprising actress also dabbled in producing and directing to keep herself in the game and improve upon her own projects throughout the years.Born Rebecca Pearch in Santa Rosa, CA on Aug. 29, 1959 - though other sources cite 1961 or 1962 as her year of birth - DeMornay's birth father was George Walter Pearch, better known among late-night television fans as the absurd, ultra-conservative talk show host, Wally George. Her parents divorced when DeMornay was two; she adopted her stepfather Richard DeMornay's surname shortly thereafter. DeMornay and her father, Wally George, had a lengthy and tempestuous relationship, with the two estranged for some 15 years prior to his death in 2003. Richard DeMornay died when she was five, leaving her mother to relocate her daughter and stepson to Europe, where they traveled extensively. DeMornay graduated with high honors from an exclusive private school in Germany, and apparently dabbled in songwriting while still a teenager - there were unconfirmed reports that she penned a song for a Hong Kong exploitation film titled "Goodbye Bruce Lee" (1975).DeMornay returned to the United States in 1980 and studied acting at the prestigious Lee Strasberg Institute. She relocated to California to work as an apprentice at Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope Studios and made her onscreen debut in a bit part in Coppola's big-budget "One from the Heart" (1982). Shortly thereafter, she rose to fame as Lana, the business-minded call girl who captures Tom Cruise's affections in "Risky Business" (1983). The film was a substantial hit and her subway seduction of Cruise helped make DeMornay a crush object for countless male moviegoers. The two actors carried on their relationship off-screen for the next two years, even sharing a home during this period.The much discussed Cruise relationship would not be her last through the years. DeMornay's personal life often earned her as much press as her movies. In addition to the toothy future megastar, she was also linked to the acclaimed songwriter Leonard Cohen for many years, serving as co-producer and arranger on his critically lauded album, "The Future" (1992). She also raised eyebrows by dating her "Never Talk to Strangers" co-star Harry Dean Stanton, who exceeded her age by several decades. DeMornay was also married for a year to writer and director Bruce Wagner before marrying sportscaster Patrick O'Neil - the son of actor Ryan O'Neil - with whom she would have two daughters.In a move that would foreshadow many of DeMornay's career choices in later years, she followed this star-making role with a smaller one in the devastating independent drama "Testament" (1983) - co-starring with a then-unknown Kevin Costner as a young couple caught in the aftermath of a nuclear missile attack. DeMornay then returned to Hollywood movies with "The Slugger's Wife" (1985), a comedy that, despite a script by Neil Simon and direction by Hal Ashby, was met with universal disdain by critics and audiences alike. DeMornay, who also sang several tunes in the picture, was singled out by many critics as one of the film's weakest elements.But that same year, she proved many naysayers wrong with a gritty and unglamorous performance in Andrei Konchalovsky's relentless thriller, "Runaway Train."

About: I'm a new freerunner, but determined to be the best I can be. I've always debated about doing Parkour and the like, but I am now set on doing this. Hopefully, I can meet and eventually surpass the goals I have set for myself. I chose to start freerunning not only to stay in shape, but to express myself through these means.
Learning Dash Vault and Turn Vault.
Gathering the courage to Wall Spin (A big problem for me).
Parkour Rolling without hurting my shoulders.
Maintaining a Handstand for at least 30 seconds.
Learning/Mastering Front, Side, and Back flips.
Learning combos and how to keep flow in said combos.
I do intend on updating this if I come across a new goal, complete a goal that's listed, or if anything has changed.
great goals so far but i think you should really drill your rolls first and foremost, as this is one way to keep our training safe.

Bainbridge Rotary pledges $60K matching grant to FW Community Hall
April 28, 2016 / Moderator
Rotary Club of Bainbridge Island has pledged a $60,000 matching grant to the Fort Ward Community Hall, a landmark contribution to the heritage building restoration and public park facility project.
The grant was unanimously endorsed by the Bainbridge Rotary board and approved by the club's general membership this week.
Friends of Fort Ward, the neighborhood group leading the community hall campaign, has 12 months to raise $60,000 in cash contributions to secure the Rotary match. Fundraising to date already has the project well on its way toward that goal.
"Bainbridge Rotary is such a positive force in our community," said Douglas Crist, Friends of Fort Ward founder and board president. "We're overwhelmed by the club's generosity, no less so for the honor that comes with their endorsement."
"And yes, we'll be volunteering at the Rotary Auction, which by the way takes place on July 2 this year," he added.
Todd Tinker, Bainbridge Rotary president, said the Club was particularly impressed with the long-term commitment to the project made by Friends of Fort Ward and the Fort Ward Youth Advisory Group.
"The Youth Advisory Group gave two separate presentations to the Club." Tinker said. "This is a grassroots project in which a group of neighbors saw an opportunity and then dove into the hard work of making it happen. The Rotary Club is proud to support it."
The Fort Ward Community Hall campaign is a three-way partnership of Friends of Fort Ward, an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 neighborhood organization, the Bainbridge Island Metro Park and Recreation District, and Kitsap County (Fort Ward) Sewer District No. 7.
The project will see restoration of the 1910 bakery building at Fort Ward, a National Historic District at the island's south end.
The restored building will offer a 1,100-square foot central hall and kitchen facilities for classes, club meetings and other Park District programming.
An interpretive element will tell the story of Fort Ward's role as a U.S. Army Coast Artillery Corps outpost during World War I, and a top-secret Navy radio station during World War II.
The building is owned by the Fort Ward sewer district, which will maintain a small office in one wing.
The Rotary matching grant is the largest single contribution to the Fort Ward Community Hall campaign to date.
Friends of Fort Ward has previously secured grants and donor-advised contributions from the Bainbridge Island Parks Foundation, the Washington Trust for Historic Preservation, the Seattle Foundation, and the Kitsap Community Foundation. Leading island businesses including Town & Country Markets, Bainbridge Island ACE Hardware, and Bainbridge Heating & Air have also contributed.
A full roster of contributing individuals, organizations and local professionals can be found here. The site also includes pledge sheets and other information on the community hall project.
New pledges are being sought to help secure the Rotary match and additional grant funding now in process from other sources. Pledges received by early May can be counted toward a potentially large state grant now being pursued by Friends of Fort Ward.

one of the options i am considering while boat shopping is vinyl flooring instead of carpet.i think vinyl would longer than a carpeted boat (with 1200 hours of run time the boat gets a good dose of all weather conditions). . If you are only fishing lakes for bass, panfish, walleyes, etcit's not as big of need.
fiberglass would cost way more then ply. ive replaced many many bass boat floors with cheap ply coated on both sides with cheap poly These panels are a little better, but still not very good compared to an Aquatech panel.

You wouldn't think to bring a baby home from the hospital without a car seat or have your child ride a bike without a helmet. Protecting your children from the potential risk of TV and furniture tip-overs is another important part of keeping them safe. Every week a child dies from a television tipping over. Over the past 10 years, a child visited the emergency room every 45 minutes because of a TV tipping over.
These accidents are often the result of TVs not being properly secured or being placed in unsafe locations. Children five and under are at greatest risk for injuries, accounting for 72 percent of the injuries and 88 percent of hospitalizations. Alarmingly, the frequency of injuries is increasing. There was a 31 percent increase in the number of injuries in children age 19 and under from 2002-2011.
If you no longer use your CRT TV, consider recycling it. To find a location to safely and easily recycle unwanted TVs, go to www.GreenerGadgets.org. Here are some step-by-step tips to help.

What Are Hardy Boys Doing In This Closet?
By Demian | Season 6	| Episode 19	| Aired on 04.29.2011
Now, where were we? Oh, yes: This evening's Talky Bits. Yep, now that she's got herself a captive audience, Mother -- who'd been damn near monosyllabic during her previous appearances on this show -- decides she absolutely must speechify at length until Sam and Dean have been bored to death, along with whatever remains of this inexplicably renewed show's rapidly dwindling audience. Long, long, l-o-o-o-o-o-o-n-g story short, Mother did not rise from Purgatory intent upon destroying the planet. In fact, she was quite happy with the natural order as it had stood for eons, wherein a few of her offspring turned the occasional human being while the occasional human being took out a few of her offspring. That all changed, however, when Crowley started kidnapping Mother's spawn to torture them in his abandoned insane asylum.
At this point, Eve morphs up into Burnt Mary form -- just for shits and giggles, I suppose -- and while Samantha Smith certainly is far more entertaining to watch in the role than poor Julia Maxwell could ever hope to be, she's still stuck delivering this ungainly exposition dump for the audience's supposed benefit, so sorry, Burnt Mary, but I'm going to be skimming through your Talky Bits as well. "Kisses!"
Mother Mary insists she only wants Crowley dead -- for what he's done to her children, of course -- and when Dean snots back that the "little limey mook" in question "roasted months ago," Mother Mary's forced to reveal that Crowley actually still walks among us. Consternation abounds, of course, and then we get an even bigger exposition dump: The whole thing's about the souls. As you'll recall from the last couple of episodes, souls equal power for whomever happens to own them, and Crowley's apparently attempting to assume control of Purgatory in order to "siphon off" Mother Mary's supply of the things. Just go with it. And maybe think of this scene while you're doing so. You're welcome.
So, anyway, how has she decided to fight back? By turning every human being on the planet into one of her children (which, by the way, ties in to various monsters' claims earlier in the season about amassing armies, if anyone can remember that far back at this point). The experiments she's been conducting in Grants Pass -- the infectious but ultimately too-watery shapeshifters, the initial vampire-ghoul hybrids whose brains fried from the inside out, the ultimately successful Jefferson Starships -- were all geared towards that end. She needed a new sort of offspring that could inconspicuously propagate itself through an entire town's population in less than a day while also remaining shielded from your typical hunter's tests, and she succeeded. In fact, Sam and Dean have been tooling around with one of her new, improved creations all day -- Imminent Corpse One! Or maybe it was Imminent Corpse Two. I have no idea. "I'm bored!" How the hell do you think I feel, lizard?

Regardless of the actual quality of the film, it's easy to see why it inspired Trish Keenan. Broadcast's music always had a fairy tale feeling with Keenan's voice playing the Valerie role of innocence amid the strange electronic fantasies they created. A lot of the imagery in Valerie and her Week of Wonders is the type of uncanny beauty that was Broadcast's trademark. Another direct influence is Lubos Fiser's lush soundtrack, which at times feels like a precursor to Broadcast's sound.
After the smooth elegance of The Noise Made By People, Broadcast leaned further into the Valerie inspiration on Haha Sound, marking a departure for the band which would be typical from record to record. The space of TNMBP is replaced with tons of texture in the form of diverse percussion sounds, buzzing electronics, and other clatter. It puts Keenan in the center of a musical fantasy that is reminiscent of the film's surreal imagery. They don't exactly hide this: one song is called "Valerie" and borrows the melody from Fiser's soundtrack while Keenan sings about the magical earrings.
"Valerie" stands out as one of the prettiest songs in Broadcast's discography with its gentle strumming and Keenan's innocent performance of Fiser's melody. It also is a testament to how good they were at repurposing art that inspired them into music that fit their own sound. I loved this song before I even knew what Valerie and her Week of Wonders was, and I never even watched the movie until a few days ago. Understanding where some of this band's ideas came from adds a layer of appreciation to it, but isn't necessary at all.
I suspect the band would quite enjoy that I ended up watching the movie because of their music. Part of Broadcast's charm was that they came off as so enthusiastic about their influences, and they used their music to try to get listeners interested in art they felt was meaningful. What I'm still discovering in their music now are little reference points that I never recognized as someone who hasn't ventured into a lot of the areas Keenan was obsessed with. They function almost as easter eggs that make the band into cool friends that turn you onto stuff you wouldn't have found on your own.
The sincerity of their love for Valerie and her Week of Wonders is why the band borrowing the melody for "Valerie" feels like such a thoughtful homage when in other hands it could have been perceived as an act of theft. It's the band resurrecting this old, forgotten piece of art and bringing it into conversation with the present and the future. The term "retro-futurism" kind of sounds like music writer babble, but "Valerie" is a direct example of it, where the past, present, and future all collide in one song. The rest of Haha Sound finds similar joy in linking different eras in a way that Broadcast did better than everyone else.
Let's face it: a lot of musicians sound like assholes. Music as a medium lends itself to mopey whining or egotistical displays of bravura and skill. Think of any breakup song ever written or any long guitar solo. This isn't even necessarily a criticism, because it's sometimes fun to listen to and I like my share of socially maladjusted artists. But I've also found in recent years that I really like it when musicians sound nice, even though that's often associated with being boring.
That might all spring from "Come On Let's Go," which is the first Broadcast song I loved and Trish Keenan's most endearing performance — one that shows how a single song can totally color your perception of a performer. It's about a nearly taboo topic in music: being a kind, caring, generous person.
This is the second single off The Noise Made By People, and it's quite a contrast to "Echo's Answer." While that song is inscrutable and bewildering, "Come On Let's Go" is immediate. It's the purest pop song the band ever made and it was easy for me to embrace the bouncy sound, Trish's warm voice, and the straight-forward, relatable lyrics. The positioning of these songs as the first two singles that appear consecutively on the album has linked them together in my mind, and I believe it was a conscious strategy by the band.
Once I got into those songs, there was a period where I didn't listen to "Come On Let's Go" much, and I'm ashamed to admit at times I felt like I'd "moved on" from it. Now I've come full circle as I've gained an appreciation the craft of a pop song, especially one that holds up as well as this one after almost 20 years. In fact, some of its lyrics might resonate now more than they did when the song was originally written.
No lyrics describe life in the social media age as well as "it's hard to tell who is real in here" and "what's the point in wasting time on people that you'll never know." Now more than ever, it's really easy to get caught up in what other people think and to spend tons of mental energy endearing yourself to strangers who don't actually care about you. Whenever I find myself doing that, this song echoes in my mind. It's like a gentle pep talk from Keenan to stop being so stupid.
It's not like these lyrics are revolutionary concepts, but there is something about Keenan's delivery and the warm sound that makes them feel that way. She is just so matter-of-fact and sincere about it: "yeah, I'll be your friend forever and I'll always be here." That is one of the deepest, most human feelings there is, and there aren't as many songs about it as I feel like there should be. And this really shapes my perception of Keenan, who comes across in her music as such a caring, genuine person, which forms a contrast with so many other artists. "Come On Let's Go" is one of the songs that separates Broadcast from other electronic/psychedelic bands who twiddle on their instruments but don't make that human connection.
The ironic part of "what's the point in wasting time on people that you'll never know" is that it can apply so easily to the artists we listen to and obsess over. A lot of loving music is forming that one-sided connection with an artist, where they mean the world to you and have no idea who you are. I didn't know Trish Keenan, and she wasn't a very public person, but through songs like this I feel like I did. She felt real and I never sensed an ounce of pretension or acting in her music. If this isn't who she really was, then she was an even more incredible and convincing performer than I realized.
Sometimes I hear a song and instantly think it's amazing and everyone needs to hear it this instant and it's an absolute crime, a travesty that this song isn't getting showered with praise. Then I listen to it like five or ten more times and realize that actually it isn't that great and I should probably chill out with the knee-jerk reactions. Other times, I love a song for awhile and then it kind of fades away, and when (if) I go back to listen to it, I still like it, but I don't remember why I loved it. And even with most of my long-term favorite songs, my enthusiasm for them is often slowly decaying each time I listen to it as I run out of new things to discover in them.
No experience could be more emblematic of Broadcast. Their music doesn't necessarily make the greatest first impression, but it always lingers in your memory and never ages. What sounds simple on the surface becomes more complex and inscrutable with every listen. There's never that moment where it's "solved" and it's time to move on. It reverberates forever, like an echo that gets answered infinite times.
What remains remarkable about this song is just how little is going on in it. There's no chorus, no hook, just that lonely keyboard part, a ton of space, and Keenan's sighing vocals. I always think it's more like a musical painting: the sound is not about telling a story with a clear meaning, but about creating a moment or an image. I picture Keenan standing on a mountain, whispering her words into the wind and hoping for an answer. Sometimes it feels lonely, other times it's warm and soothing because of the calm sound and her voice. Either way, it's always beautiful and bewildering.
The placidness of "Echo's Answer" is audacious, maybe even defiant. It's so the opposite of what many people expect from music, which is that feeling of getting instantly swept off their feet by a song like they're a character in Garden State. I cynically wonder if a song like this would ever really find its audience in today's music landscape, which is so based on virality and getting that instant reaction that feeds algorithms. Subtlety and sophistication are skills that are rarely rewarded with popularity, especially now, but they make songs like this last forever.
I'm not here to rank Broadcast's songs and albums against each other, which feels like a pretty pointless exercise. But I do think of "Echo's Answer" as their most defining song as well as their clear creative breakthrough. Anyone who wrote them off as being just a kitschy throwback act after their first singles had to feel like a big idiot when they came out with this. It obliterated any comparisons people had made to other contemporary bands and really put Broadcast into a world of their own, one they explored with so much artistry and depth over the next several years.

Forget what you think you know about sound recording: the traditional home microphone is dead. Never again should a mini-jack plug have to run its awful buzzing signal into your Mac's mic socket to record podcasts, dialogue, or music.
The digital domain of USB is here – and it's better. Blue's Yeti, the beastly sequel to its groundbreaking Snowball USB mic, exudes a retro charm completely at odds with its next-gen makeup.
The heavy 50s-style metal construction – complete with a brilliantly designed large-footprint table stand – lends it an air of seriousness that its little brother (a white plastic orb) missed.
The Blue Yeti microphone is available to buy for $129.99 (around £100 / AU$180), which is pretty reasonable for a high quality mic, considering you can spend upwards of $1000 for very high end models.
One advantage of its 5v-powered USB makeup is that the Yeti is able to put many of the most important recording controls on board. There's a built-in gain dial, essential if you're recording quiet or distant sounds and useful for preventing later processing.
It also features a volume knob for the live-monitoring headphone amp, a mute button to pause recording, and the most important control of all: the pattern switch, which selects between the four operating modes of its triple-capsule array.
The Yeti's quality was clear and full in every test we gave its multiple patterns, though you may want to invest in a pop-shield for the best possible results. Its omni-directional mode captured a room full of chatting people clearly and loudly, the cardioid and bi-directional patterns were pleasingly precise (although you'll need to lean close to the mic to get the best from them), and its stereo pattern is perfect for podcasting, neatly separating multiple voices gathered around a table.
Whether that range of functionality does enough to counter the Yeti's one obvious disadvantage – the fact that you're tethered to a single mic rather than a multi-head setup – is a matter of taste.
But bear in mind that an external mixer and the relevant microphones to replace its stereo function will cost a lot more than the Yeti, and this is an unquestionably high-quality mic (THX certified, no less) at a ridiculously reasonable price.

There are around 19,000 garages authorised as MOT test stations across the country that can carry out your MOT test. The blue three triangles logo is displayed to identify authorised test stations. The maximum fee for the test must be displayed on a poster inside every test station. The station, however, can charge less than what is on the poster if they want to.
MOT test stations have designated test bays where they conduct the test, using a range of equipment that meets the required specification for MOT testing. The standard test procedures are laid out in an inspection manual that the test station should make available on request.
If your vehicle has failed the test, you'll be given a failure document with reference to this manual. You can watch the test from a designated viewing area but you are not allowed to interrupt the tester while he is working.
Here at Back to Basics we provide an m.o.t service via an independent testing station and carry out any necessary repairs whether mechanical or bodywork to ensure the car passes with flying colours.


Can you believe that in a month's time it'll all be over.
Right now, Wayne will be sitting in his matching Christmas Cardigan and Cravat Combo, lighting his Christmas cigar and embarking on his second glass of port, whilst his poor wife labours over the Brussels sprouts and turkey, again. Alex, on the other hand will be knee deep in rage and wrapping paper, desperately trying to wrap up presents that are destined to be unwrapped again five minutes later and wondering to himself, a) why hasn't he done this earlier; b) why doesn't he ever buy regular shaped gifts without sharp edges; and c) will anyone notice if he opens that bottle of champagne, NOW!
Yep, only 30 sleeps to go, folks and today is the official start of the silly season. Black Friday, blackeye day, potentially, has arrived and with it a host of junk mail and once in a lifetime deals. All week our computers have been running slower, due to the amount of spam offers we are receiving from AVG, who provide our antivirus stuff and should frankly know better. Sticking a big banner across the bottom quarter of my screen is not going to make me suddenly upgrade Mr AVG, it's more likely to make a McAfee of me! Great Western Railway, lastminute, Your Golf Travel, Wiggle, Virgin Trains East Coast, Costco, London Duathlon, Chemist Direct, Golf Deals Group, 3 different golf clubs south of London (one of which I've never played!), South Devon Chilli Farm, Carphone Warehouse – all of these sent me emails yesterday offering some sort of Black Friday deal. However, all it really did was to confirm what I already feared – if you examine my purchasing history over the last year, it is pedestrian to say the least – golf, trainspotting and some glucosamine – next year I want to receive offers from skydiving and safari companies, from Champagne houses and from sunseeker.com!
Back in the real world for now, and away from the internet, we've had a pretty productive week. Tuesday saw Alex putting his tooth enamel to the test as he did some more judging at the International Wine Challenge – lots of young, new world wines apparently, and some from Turkey too. Then, on Wednesday, we had our first ever spirits tasting – a Whisky tasting in fact, with big Ed Cotton from Gordon & MacPhail. It was brilliant. What was threatening to be a raucous evening filled with singing and subversion was in fact really quite studious and engaged – clearly Ed has the sufficient gravitas that we lack!
The Arran and Strathmill were deliciously soft and supple and almost aperitif-y in style whilst the Ardmore and Caol Ila showed far more structure and power. And the Macallan – that just did what Macallan always does so well! We still have open bottles of Speymalt, Arran, Strathmill and a drop of Caol Ila should you wish to pop by and have a taste – funnily enough the Ardmore (the most expensive) got finished on the night!
If you don't eat your meat, you can't have any pudding! How can you have any pudding if you don't eat your meat!
I know, I know, we don't need no education etc etc, but, should you decide to buck this trend, we have a half-filled Wine School taking place in the early part of next year. We can promise lots of wine and no dark sarcasm in the classroom. Full details are attached but, for those unable to open attachments, the most important details are that it starts on Wednesday 25th January through to Wednesday 8th March and costs £150 per person. Christmas gift, perhaps?
Sadly, this is not the name of the new winebar opening in place of Bar Estella, the main reason for this being that Estella is still there, staring emptily into the street, yearning for some TLC. No, in fact, Rully and Roero are the names of the two wines we are tasting this weekend.
We've chosen these two because they appeal to our sense of contrariness. The Roero is a white wine made by a man, Bruno Giacosa, far more famous for his red wines, particularly his stunning Barbaresco's and Barolo's. The Rully is a red wine from a part of Burgundy often more associated with white wines – see what we did there?
Come in and taste them at your leisure although if you want a leisurely taste I suggest you avoid late afternoon – Christ the King is lighting up its Christmas tree and carols will be sung at 4.15pm tomorrow so it will be quite busy round here at that time!
Another week with no mention of sport – where's Alex gone?
This week we had a look at our calendar and noticed that Thanksgiving is almost upon us. This got us pondering on the things we might be thankful for.
We started off by being thankful we weren't Wayne Rooney. Poor guy plays a game of footy, has a couple of ales later on, gets an impromptu invite to a wedding, and basically just carries on playing. Before he can say congratulations to the lovely couple, the press are all over him like a cheap suit. We couldn't help but think he was just being human.
We're thankful that when researching this email, Google searching with the words "cheese makes you…" gave us the top four options of: dream, happy, fart and taller!
We're thankful that our chums in New Zealand are all ok and in fine fettle. We may have been more thankful if they'd lost our invoice in a crack in the road with all the missing homework.
We're thankful that we're not the poor lady who sadly had to cancel her birthday Champagne tasting last night due to illness. Get well soon and we'll all celebrate then!
We're thankful not to be England's bowlers, now that Virat Kohli has found his mojo.
We're thankful that Wimbledon is staying on the BBC till 2024, and would be ever so thankful if we get lucky in the ballot. Nudge, nudge!
Always thankful that we're not turkeys.
We're definitely thankful that Alex had a day off and Wayne snuck some fine Brunello di Montalcino into the building. Brunello di Montalcino 2010 by Sesti £65.
Not to mention a cheeky parcel of Chateau Musar 2003 (£26.99).
The perfect gift for that difficult to buy for wine lover in your family. Six weeks, somewhere around sixty wines tasted including sweet, red white and bubbly. £150 per person full details attached.
As I mentioned above, Thanksgiving rears its head on Thursday. We're not entirely sure what we're thankful for in this case, but we've never been the type to let the news get in the way of a party.
So in honour of turkey, sweet potatoes and general North American feasting, we shall be opening some tasty wines from California. The white corner will be featuring Morning Fog Chardonnay by Wente Family Vineyards (£13.99). This hails from Livermore Valley at the back of San Francisco Bay, which may just give you a clue as to where the name comes from!
Red corner is definitely Zinfandel territory this week, Maggio Old Vine Zinfandel (£12.99). This one hails from Lodi, long time a source of great Zinfandels, and where Rudi Maggio planted his first vines in 1954.
Music selection for this week "Be Thankful For What You've Got" William DeVaughn.
Thankfully, that's it from us this week.
Well, that knocks Brexit into a cocked hat! Who knew? POTUS – Possibility of Trump Upsetting Someone? The world has gone to hell in a handcart this year and frankly we should have realised that Donny T would end up in the egg shaped office as soon as the poll of polls told us he definitely wouldn't and with the odds at 9/2 just before the voting started, how did we not see the writing on the wall.
Plenty of opportunities to lose some money there – trying to imagine what Kim Kardashian's manifesto might be…. extremely wealthy with no political experience and an ability to annoy people, surely that should make her unelectable? Oh, hang about….
So, anyway, as you can imagine, we've been a bit distracted by the if's, what's and maybe's of the events in America this week so haven't formed a sensible opinion on Toblerone-gate, given thought to Prince Harry's love life or critiqued the new John Lewis Christmas advert – apologies.
We've been tasting, tasting, tasting. A whole load of wine has been sniffed, swirled and spat (in our case) or swallowed (in your case) this week.
Wednesday night saw Week 6, the final week, of our Wine School, which saw us opening 10 bottles of bubbles, including Prosecco, Cava, English Sparkling and, of course, Champagne. Star of the night was the 2002 Cuvée Alain Thiénot – £75 showing fabulous caramel, brandy snap and toffee apple character with a deliciously soft mousse. Once the hubbub had died down over the price, we had explained the scarcity of this excellent vintage and the fact that most other houses start north of £100, its #1 status was confirmed. A close second, and perhaps more wallet friendly, was Leveret IQ3 NV – £20.99, showing lots of luscious lees character, a real apple strudel and cream character with an elegant and long finish. And at the end of the night we released 10 newly qualified wine drinkers into the cold night air, free to indulge their palates and explore the nether regions of the wine list!
Last night was Wine & Cheese. You'd have thought that, having hosted over 40 of these evenings, we'd be like a well-oiled machine and have all the answers and the perfect matches. Sadly this is still not true, whilst occasionally well-oiled, we definitely do not have all the answers but I think that is half the fun. Wine was excellent, cheese was very tasty and a very good time was had by all. Who knew that dry Amontillado sherry would be such a fabulous cheese match?
All our tastings are now full up until the end of the year but if you fancy learning more about wine in the New Year, why not join our next wine school.
We'll show you how to taste wine and cover the main white varieties along with a couple off-the-beaten-track selections.
We'll cover the classic red varieties as well as a few lesser known varieties.
This week is all about bubbles. Sparkling wines from around the world, alongside several styles of Champagne.
You will taste 8 to 10 wines each week and we will even manage to sneak in a little pudding wine and perhaps a rosé somewhere amongst that lot!
The course takes place in the shop after we close. We put out the tasting table, pull up some chairs and get stuck in. Our courses are relaxed and about enjoying wine and sharing knowledge.
Wednesday evenings from 8 till about 9.45 for six weeks, over a period of seven weeks whilst we deal with half term, starting Wednesday 25th January until Wednesday 8th March.
If you can't wait until January to taste wine, we'll open some tonight for you instead!
A couple of party wines this week: from Chile we have Oyster Shack Chardonnay 2014 – £7.49 and from Romania we have Calusari Pinot Noir 2015 – £8.69. Probably useful to point out here that if you are having a party we can lend you glasses, supply ice, deliver and also provide you with a discount of 10% of twelve bottles or more!
My daughter hasn't eaten a proper meal since Monday lunchtime, or at least that's how it feels. However, she has certainly eaten Love Hearts, Maoam's, Parma Violets, countless lollipops and too many funsize Mars/Snickers/Twix. My son had a binge on Sour Patch Kids but then felt sick. And my saintly wife has been surviving on lettuce and dried bread, never once dipping her hand into the gargantuan bowl of child size sweets.
And now we are in the midst of Guy Fawke's fever/fervour. As one of our customers pointed out earlier, in this super-sensitive politically correct environment we inhabit, it's quite amazing that we are allowed to celebrate, and indeed celebrate quite so vigorously, a foiled catholic plot that took place over 400 years ago! But celebrate we do, by lighting a bonfire and setting off fireworks – ironic considering these are exactly the things that the plotters failed to do.
Meanwhile, a small wine merchant in Wimbledon Park….
… has been continuing about its business whilst trying not to uspet anyone or get caught up in any plotting. We'd like to confirm that the darker afternoons and colder mornings are not of our doing – if we had our way it would be shorts and t-shirts 24/7/365 – but we have plenty of Whisky and Gin and King's Ginger and Amaretto and Kummel open to taste all the time to keep our cockles warmed when required, so pop in on your way past if you feel chilly.
Chateau Corbin 2010, Montagne Saint-Emilion – £19.99 – 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon – the winemaker has spent some time in Australia so he likes a bit of ripeness and so we have nice bright fruit, plums and damsons here. Really fresh and a bit broader on the palate with quite delicious and softened tannins on the finish.
Chateau Haut Ferrand 2009, Pomerol – £43.99 – 60% Merlot 40% Cab Franc – a beautiful nose, showing the ripeness of the vintage and a very smooth palate – extremely delicious and very habit forming. Smooth, ripened soft blackberry fruits perhaps even some background hints of strawberry. Proper wine.
Chateau Relais de la Poste 2012, Cotes de Bourg – £18.49 – known as Cuvee Malbec. This has deliciously dark blackcurrant fruit, appealing with a hint of violet too, and is frankly really tasty but with a bit more weight and juice than a normal Bordeaux. Unusual to be 100% Malbec and thus, very interesting.
Smooth palate, plums and damsons, fresh and broad – what are you on about?
If you want to know what we're on about and fancy learning how to write tasting notes as erudite as Wayne's then the Park Vintners Wine School is the place for you!
School starts again in the New Year – Wednesday January 25th 2017 to be precise, at 8pm, to be even more accurate. It will then proceed on a weekly basis until Wednesday 8th March – a break for half term will be taken on the week containing Wednesday 15th February. You'll taste around 60 wines, you'll learn lots of clever wine terms to use at dinner parties and you'll get a thorough grounding in the key grape varieties plus a foray into the exciting grapes that sometimes hide in the shadows.
The course costs £150 per person and full details are attached to this email.
Pulenta Estate Chardonnay 2014, Mendoza, Argentina – £12.99 Pulenta Estate is located in Alto Agrelo, Luján de Cuyo, Mendoza, its high altitude, at 980m, ensures a wide temperature range and a slow ripening of the grapes. This is a lovely crisp yet full bodied Chardonnay with a good finish.
That's all from us this week. By next week we'll know the next POTUS – scarily it's now shaping up to be a bit of a nailbiter!

A local derby Roscommon SFC final which graced the Hyde Park swathe of green on Sunday afternoon saw Clann na Gael claim their second title in four years, dashing the three in a row aspirations of perennial rivals, St. Brigids, with a twelve point victory that appeared quite unlikely at half time when the victors held a mere two point lead.
In their first final meeting since 1997, the rivals served up an end to end contest with scores of the highest calibre interlinked with passages of fine interplay and fielding.
Fergal Shine's charges started in positive style with the roving Ciaran Lennon setting the tone when he netted just after the throw in. Although St. Brigids replied with a green flag almost immediately, the influential Senan Kilbride sublimely finishing, Clann never ceased with their attack minded play, Donie Shine punishing the vanquished from placed balls at every occasion.
As the All Ireland champions of 2013 sought to find their rhythm in the second half, the dismissal of Gearoid Cunniffe proved a turning point and Clann seized on their extra man opportunity with club stalwart Jonathan Dunning punching to the net and Cathal Callinan displaying his opportunism with a lobbed goal from distance.
Shine completed the goal rout in injury time from the penalty spot, a score that saw him attain Roscommon SFC top scorer status.
As celebrations continue in Drum and Clonown this week, Clann will be mindful of making an imprint in the Connacht club championship with a quarter final fixture against the London champions in the Hyde Park imminent.

The white court shoe has taken its place atop the throne of the sneaker world following the rise of the Stan Smith. The latter is now (still!) found on the feet of half the people at any trade show, with only mild competition from Adidas' shell-toe and three stripe options. But if you're looking for a simple, good-looking sneaker, there are many brands that offer pleasing design – and, let's face it, a price that makes Common Projects Achilles look like a joke. Here are 5 white court shoes that you can wear all through the winter – and for a long time to come.
What would a list of tennies be without at least one variation on the original? Adidas has updated its classic Stan Smith silhouette with a primeknit upper that offers breathable comfort and keeps you from looking like the rest of the fashion-obsessed sneakerheads out there. And since we've reached – and passed – peak Stan Smith saturation, a slight re-config means that you can wear these without feeling self-conscious. Although you can find Primeknit Stans at several retailers, this OG-pack version has a different knit and a slightly lower profile than the all-leather model, but pairs equally well with denim or slim black trousers (yeah, yeah – we see you, fashion week attendees).
Best part? The added airflow means your feet will stink less.
Instead of going for the by now ubiquitous Achilles, spend those hard-earned dollars on the CP Court Low instead. We're big on suede sneakers for a bit of added character, and this even-more-minimal take on the tennis shoe is perfect for fall. Stack your jeans on top of the low cuff, roll 'em up, or even wear a pair of (gasp!) shorts. Common Projects is really the original luxe sneaker brand, and they've stayed relevant for a reason.
While not exactly a court shoe (they're more of a take on the venerable Converse), these suede low-tops nonetheless offer a great alternative to your standard tennis shoe. They're much more versatile than the brand's die-hard fans would have you believe, and are equally at home with head-to-toe Ann D. or a rolled-up pair of Engineered Garments BDU pants. The suede upper takes on added character with wear, and well-read forumites will know to ask their cobbler about adding a Vibram (or other rubber) outsole for increased longevity and grip. At this point, they're a modern classic.
Looking for a little more flash from your court shoe? Streetwear brand Filling Pieces could be right up your alley. This take on their classic Tabs low top adds a gum sole and toe-cap perforation for a does of athletic style. Prices, while firmly upmarket, aren't Givenchy-high, which means you'll have some cash left over for a fancy pair of sweatpants. Long live athleisure!
