Eko is the Yoruba name for the city of Lagos (which is in Lagos State, the old Capital of Nigeria). His name is a symbol of the city. In Yoruba, Eko is symbolic of home, thus his name, Mr. Eko, resonates only with Nigerians who understand its true meaning.
Adapts to life as a priest when he stays in disguise.
Eko was killed by the Monster because he failed to atone for or admit to his past sins.
Or it could be the opposite, Eko finally atoned for his sins and was ready to die.
Well, he didn't exactly atone, he said he's got nothing to be sorry for and that he had not sinned, but rather survived.
Eko was most likely scanned, as Ben was in 'Dead is Dead' and then judged, like Ben was in that same episode. Unlike Ben, Eko refused to admit fault and take responsibility for his sins. So, having judged Eko guilty the Monster killed him. The Man in Black later states his belief that all humans are sinful and corruptible. Eko's refusal to admit himself as such could have caused the Monster to kill him for what he viewed as spiritual dishonesty. The Smoke Monster is later depicted with the Egyptian god Infu (Anubis). After death, the Egyptians believed that your heart would be weighed by its sins against the feather of truth by Infu, and to save yourself from destruction, you had only to be 'true of voice', to admit to the sins your heart had committed. If you came clean, you would be judged worthy. If you did not, then your heart would be fed to the monster Ammit. Perhaps a similar process was at work in Eko's death.
Eko was judged and killed by the monster because he did not seek redemption anymore and thus became useless to Smokey, who needed people to be corruptable to further his goals. Up to that point Smokey was planning to use Eko in a similar way as he used Desmond at the source in "The End".
The first time Eko encountered the Smoke Monster, he stood his ground. The second time, after being "judged," he doubts himself and turns to run away. Perhaps the Monster needs someone confident whom he can use, or perhaps Eko really was able to stand him down.
Now we know Smokey is The Man in Black, a more interesting theory appears: At the moment, Eko was replacing John Locke as the "man of faith" and was the one who wanted to keep pushing the button on the Swan. Probably, MiB was considering him as Locke's replacement in his plans to kill Jacob, however when tested a last time, he found him unusable and disposed of him, perhaps because his strong and unwavering resolve and confidence, as opposed to Locke's pathetic defeatism and self-pity.
The Man in Black may be kept on the island because of its electromagnetic properties. He needed somebody to stop pushing the button, hence he created the events that led Locke to the Pearl station, shattering Locke's belief in the necessity to push the button. Eko on the other hand continued to belief it was necessary to keep pushing the button. When Eko additionally quoted the 23rd Psalm, the Man in Black (as the smoke monster) realized that Mr. Eko would always be in (unaware) allegiance with Jacob. Thus he had became potentially dangerous to the plans of MiB and was killed.
The Man in Black, bound by the Rules, could not kill Eko because he was a Candidate. However, by refusing to atone for his sins, Eko failed his candidacy, and was able to be killed.
Eko's Church (never completed)
Eko was building a church at the time he was killed by the Monster
Eko atoned for his past sins, and the Island 'let him go'.
The writers have said that Eko will reappear, but not necessarily in a flashback episode.
People have seen 'ghosts' on the Island before. Jack saw his father and Eko saw his brother and Ana Lucia. Ben saw his mother. Therefore, the Monster will return in the form of Eko.
"Yemi" set his tent alight in order to get him moving, to "kick start" him, so that he would venture out in to the jungle and find the Monster.
The implosion of the hatch sent Eko back in time to the day of Yemi's death, giving him the chance to save his brother. Therefore in The Cost of Living the body could not be found, because Eko had changed the course of time and Yemi was never on the island.
The implosion of the hatch sent Eko to one of the "exit points" on the Island, like it did with Desmond. Similar what happened to Jack and the original Man in Black after they fiddled around with the cork at the source.
Book Of Laws
Eko tells Locke a story about The Book of Laws before revealing the hidden orientation footage. The story was about a king who built/rebuilt the temple with the book of laws. The book is also one of the items Richard presents to young Locke, supposedly the correct one Locke did not choose. Perhaps the unknown temple on the Island will be built/rebuilt by Locke.
The Monster judged Eko the same way it judged Ben, but found him "guilty" rather than "innocent", so it killed him.
Eko was killed by the Monster because, by letting go of his sins, was of no use to the Monster (as opposed to Ben, who was consumed by guilt during his "judgment", and thus could be easily manipulated)
Much like with Zoe, the MiB immediately killed Eko once it was clear that he was not going to be persuaded away from his own convictions.
Mr. Eko was originally intended to be the Yin to John Locke's Yan - his opposite in every way. The black to his white, the tail section to his fuselage, the Jacob to his Smoke Monster, and the good to his bad. In podcasts during Season 2, Damon and Carlton strongly emphasize Eko's relationship to Locke, how the two have a very mystical nature and how they will take their different paths. A rivalry is seen to exist in many instances during their mutual time spent on the Island. For example, their Swan adventures in the Season 2 finale. When it was learned AAA would be leaving the show, it was made sure that the character's departure would be mythologically significant in showing how The Monster did NOT take kindly to him. His last words were likely either: "I saw the Devil" as can reportedly be heard faintly, which alludes to the Monster's evil; "You're next" as inferred by the audience, which would predict John's future connection to the Monster; or "You're all next" as may also be inferred, which may imply that judgment by the Monster would be coming.
The Smoke Monster killed Ecko because he was a loop keeper as he wanted to keep the Swan in place.
Eko's death is a microcosm foreboding the end of the series. Eko had reached a point where he no longer felt guilty about his brother's death, he had 'moved on' in a sense. His recognition of the Smoke Monster's manifestation of Yemi as not actually being his brother, may have been the cause of the MIB's decision to murder him. It is safe to speculate that Eko is not in the final scene in the church in The End, is because he had moved on. In the episode a woman says to Eko, that he must build a church to make up for the one he lost after Yemi's death, explaining his motive to want to build one on the island (which lacked completion). His moving on, and the image of the unfinished church lay to the point that he had 'moved on' from trying to fix problems in his life. This image of young Eko and Yemi walking away, is analogous to the final image of the show, finally entering heaven (or nirvana, or eternity) with someone he loved, who was his brother. They met each other in a place the made for each other in their childhood. This is rough speculation, but it makes sense.
That they meet in a chuch in The End could be significant. If Eko owed Yemi a church, in a sense he could have built the church all the Losties meet in, in the afterlife. Eko was building a church on the Island, presumably to bring people together as well as pay his debt. The chuch in the afterlife could have been Eko fulfilling his debt further explaining why he wasn't there. His role was to provide the place of gathering for the others.
Looking into the Monster
When Eko looked into the Monster he saw answers to some of the mysteries of the Island. (e.g. lift up your eyes and look north). This is why the Monster killed him because it gave him too much information.
The Monster's "face" which faces Eko during his first encounter with it is a bearded man which is Jacob (disproven).
If the Monster is of religious nature, it disliked the competition Eko initiated by building a christian church.
The MIB wanted to use Eko to kill the candidates but he realized he couldn't use him anymore so he killed him.
When Eko died and whispered his final words to Locke, he announced them as "we're next." As confirmed in the November 6th podcast, Eko's final words to Locke were "you're next." This provides some ambiguity, though: Eko, in saying, "you're next," may have just been referring to Locke. If Eko meant "you all are next," Locke's interpretation would be correct - it refers to the Losties as a whole, or the group who went on the expedition to the Pearl.
Locke has misinterpreted a message before, Christian told Locke HE had to move the island, Locke told Ben 'WE have to move the island'. The same thing could have happened here; Eko says 'You're next', Locke tells everyone that 'We're next'.This also hints into the coming speech ben makes by saying that Locke's last words were I don't understand,which sort makes sense considering MIB/monster John talks about dead John as being a man who has always been since being on the island confused and LOST. Whereas MIB/monster has knowns many things about the island and has "found"its true meaning and purpose.
It is possible, as Hurley suggested, that his last words were referring to Nikki and Paulo who were the next people to die on the Island.
It was also confirmed Nikki was bitten by a creation of the smoke monster rather than real spiders. if you watch the clip you can clearly hear the monster around her as she looks around, then the spiders appear. so this would tie in with the monster/Eko's warning of who's next.
From the way he said it, it looked like the words were meant for John and John alone, so I doubt it had anything to do with the other losties.
He could refer to Locke as the next leader of the Others, the next guy who would be Jacob's spokesman, and that was who "the Monster said to Mr. Eko before killing him.
Further to this point, Eko could have been the Monster's first choice to do his bidding by overthrowing Ben, and when Eko "didn't work out" so to speak, he made his comment to alert John that he was the Monster's second choice for the job.
I have a feeling that Eko, as a man of faith himself, was in consideration, but in the end the Monster didn't like the idea. I don't know if Locke was a second choice, considering how much effort the Monster had put in through time.
His last words may refer to the Monster's next victim, a.k.a. Nikki she was bitten by the Monster's manifestation of a medusa spider.
Eko realized that the Island would never forgive him of his past crimes and he knew the Island would never stop until he was dead. So when he said, "You're next" to John he was saying that Island would focus on him now.
It could be that the entity (or person) that showed himself to Eko in the form of Yemi was Jacob's nemesis trying to gain influence over Eko. Its failure led to the death of Eko and the entity instead turned towards John. We know now that Jacob's nemesis needed a loophole in order to kill Jacob and perhaps the last words, 'You're Next,' uttered by Eko to John meant that the nemesis began focusing his plan upon John.
The Spiders are not manifestations, but rather part of the Monster itself, which would support this theory further.
Eko was referring to John's replacement of Ben as the Island's caretaker.
"You're next" was not Eko's last words. Locke lied about what he said for a yet to be revealed purpose.
Eko was telling John that he would be next to be judged by the island. He soon faces his biggest fear, his father, as Eko faced his sinful past.
Eko actually mouthed, "I saw the devil." This would coincide with John's earlier question of, "What did you see back there?...I saw a beautiful light." Eko responded by saying, "I saw the devil." The writers eventually changed it to make it more dramatic.
Perhaps Eko knew, as a result of an encounter of the monster which flashed images to him, of MiB's plan to have John killed so he can duplicate him. "You're next" refers to John in this context.
Jacob's Bodyguard
Because he was attacked by Smokey (a.k.a. Jacob's Nemesis), he may be working for Jacob.
Failed his recruitment initiation
We must all remember that the man in black/smoke monster does not play games and at this point he still needed to kill Jacob, looking at the survivors as an observer and as someone who can read people's past deeds, Eko would be the perfect candidate for killing Jacob due to his large size and the moral grey area he inhabits. The Monster, however needed someone pure of soul to kill Jacob, someone who was sorry for the crimes they have committed (Ben was sorry that he killed Locke). Eko, however, did not repent, and therefore became useless to the Monster who cast him aside as a failed potential candidate to kill Jacob for him... But, of course, Locke was the next element to the Monster's plan, hence 'you're next.'
What he died for
Perhaps Eko was a candidate (his name was never shown on the cave wall or in the Lighthouse, so this theory is a stretch). Jacob's candidates were all broken, unhappy people with a lot of problems to work out. Sometimes these people figure things out, or have other life opportunities come to them, and so are crossed off, I.E. Kate. The first time Eko meets the Smoke Monster, he is still troubled by his past life, searching for forgiveness, and so is still a candidate, thus the Man in Black can not kill him. When Eko forgives himself for his past life and moves on, his name is "crossed off," whether literally or figuratively, and thus MiB is able to kill him, easily.
This seems likely. Since we don't know for sure what his last name is, it's quite possible he's one of the names we've already seen. (If his name is Tunde, it's quite possible he's one of the names we haven't seen.)
Eko was not a candidate
If Eko is his first name, then the Eko referenced on the wall cannot be him. Only surnames are written on the wall means this other Eko was someone else. This also explains why the monster did not kill Eko straight away. Because Eko was always referred to as "Mr. Eko" the monster at first assumed he was the Eko on the last. Only later after testing did the monster realise that Eko was not a candidate and could therefore kill him.
If Eko is his last name this still does not make him a candidate. The reference to Tunde could in fact be his first name. If Eko is the surname, then there are two Eko's in Lost, the other being Yemi. Yemi was the candidate but was shot off Island. The Island sensing Yemi's death placed itself closer to the plane in an attempt to save him. This would explain how Yemi's plane came to crash on the Island. Mr. Eko's presence is a coincidence. Again if this scenario is the case then the monster was not sure which Eko was the candidate and therefore tested Mr. Eko to discover that he wasn't the candidate.
Either scenario also proves the theory that the list in the caves was MiB's. Lacking the mirrors he could not accurately identify which person the name indicated. He would therefore test anyone with that name to determine if they were a candidate or not.
Both brothers were candidates, but Eko's name is written in the caves. Eko was written on the lighthouse dial.

The validity of each cryptocurrency's coins is provided by a blockchain. A blockchain is a continuously growing list of records, called blocks, which are linked and secured using cryptography.[23][26] Each block typically contains a hash pointer as a link to a previous block,[26] a timestamp and transaction data.[27] By design, blockchains are inherently resistant to modification of the data. It is "an open, distributed ledger that can record transactions between two parties efficiently and in a verifiable and permanent way".[28] For use as a distributed ledger, a blockchain is typically managed by a peer-to-peer network collectively adhering to a protocol for validating new blocks. Once recorded, the data in any given block cannot be altered retroactively without the alteration of all subsequent blocks, which requires collusion of the network majority.

Welcome to the 32nd Coin Report. In today's report, I will be assessing the fundamental and technical strengths and weaknesses of ExchangeCoin. This will be comprised of an analysis of a number of significant metrics, an evaluation of the project's community and development and an overview of its price-history. The report will conclude with a grading out of 10. ExchangeCoin was launched in November 2017 with an ICO that raised 650 BTC, equating to over $5,000,000 at the time. The token issued, EXCC, has a maximum supply of 32,003,133, with 4mn EXCC sold during the ICO. Further, the project also has a premine of 12.1mn EXCC, equating to 37.95% of the maximum supply (from which the 4mn was sold to the public in the token sale). The token itself operates on the Equihash algorithm, and underwent a hard fork in July 2018, after which the network migrated to a dual Proof-of-Work/Proof-of-Stake consensus mechanism, with 30% of block rewards rewarded to stakers and 70% to miners. The block reward is progressively diminishing, with the current reward at 24.5 EXCC per block, with 2.5-minute block times.

Most cryptocurrencies are designed to gradually decrease production of that currency, placing a cap on the total amount of that currency that will ever be in circulation.[25] Compared with ordinary currencies held by financial institutions or kept as cash on hand, cryptocurrencies can be more difficult for seizure by law enforcement.[1] This difficulty is derived from leveraging cryptographic technologies.

Blockchains are secure by design and are an example of a distributed computing system with high Byzantine fault tolerance. Decentralized consensus has therefore been achieved with a blockchain.[29] Blockchains solve the double-spending problem without the need of a trusted authority or central server, assuming no 51% attack (that has worked against several cryptocurrencies).

On 25 March 2014, the United States Internal Revenue Service (IRS) ruled that bitcoin will be treated as property for tax purposes. This means bitcoin will be subject to capital gains tax.[62] In a paper published by researchers from Oxford and Warwick, it was shown that bitcoin has some characteristics more like the precious metals market than traditional currencies, hence in agreement with the IRS decision even if based on different reasons.[63]
In 2014, the company grew to one million users, acquired the blockchain explorer service Blockr and the web bookmarking company Kippt, secured insurance covering the value of bitcoin stored on their servers, and launched the vault system for secure bitcoin storage.[12][13][14] Throughout 2014, the company also formed partnerships with Overstock, Dell, Expedia, Dish Network, and Time Inc. allowing those firms to accept bitcoin payments.[15][16][17][18] The company also added bitcoin payment processing capabilities to the traditional payment companies Stripe, Braintree, and PayPal.[19]

High Times may focus on cannabis distribution under new CEO
By Keith J. Kelly

High Times magazine faces competition from laid-off writers
Hightimes' acquisition of California marijuana cultivator goes to pot
High Times owner hires Victoria's Secret, cannabis vet as CEO
Hightimes CEO up in smoke after just weeks at the helm
The financially troubled owner of stoner magazine High Times has replaced its Hollywood CEO after less than a year on the job.
High Times Holdings, in an SEC filing on Monday, said it has accepted the resignation of Kraig Fox, a former executive of Dick Clark Productions, on Christmas Eve and has hired Stormy Simon, former president of publicly traded e-commerce retailer Overstock, as his replacement.
High Times Holdings tapped Fox in April 2019 to help with its push to become a host of cannabis events and conferences, in addition to a publisher of pot-themed magazines.
With Fox out, the company appears to be seeking to transform itself from a media and entertainment company to a cannabis distribution firm, according to Monday's SEC filing.
The hire of Simon "comes as the company prepares to develop its physical and virtual distribution businesses," the SEC filing said of Simon's appointment.
"Like millions of other people, I have trusted High Times for years and I can't wait to use my experience to develop the next iteration of our business: delivering the best products into consumer's hands," Simon said in a statement.
Adam Levin, the managing director of private equity firm Oreva Capital Corp. remains the executive chairman. Levin was part of a group of 20 investors that included reggae artist Damian Marley — son of reggae legend Bob Marley — that acquired majority control of the magazine from its founders for $42 million in a stock-and-cash deal in June 2017.
Oreva has struggled, however, to get the company's stock traded on a public market as losses accumulate. In an earlier SEC filing, the company said it has an "accumulated deficit" of $105.2 million.
Even Fox appears to have had to dig into his own pocket to cover costs for the cash-strapped company. Monday's SEC filing said that it owes Fox $125,000 for "expenses and lease payments," but won't repay the charges until the company pulls in another $5 million from its crowd-sourced IPO or loans.
Hightimes Holding, other cannabis publishers may be shutting down
The cannabis industry may be booming, but publishers looking to...
For the six months ending June 30, 2019, the company posted a net loss of $11.9 million, compared with a net loss of $19.7 million in the year-ago period.
Revenue for the most recent six-month period was $10.7 million compared with $8.9 million in the six-month period a year earlier.
The crowd-sourced IPO, known as Reg A+, with looser disclosure requirements than a typical IPO, has been selling stock for $11 a share since the summer of 2018. It could raise up to $50 million under the Reg A+, but appears to have raised less than half that amount and demand has slowed considerably after an initial burst.
The company raised only an additional $1.1 between July 1 and Oct. 31, 2019, SEC records show.

Leaving no one behind on the road to Universal Health Coverage: The Kerala story
Guest Edited by Devaki Nambiar (George Institute for Global Health, India), Rakhal Gaitonde (Achutha Menon Centre for Health System Sciences, India), Anish TS (Government Medical College Manjeri, India) and Hari Sankar (George Institute for Global Health, India)
International Journal for Equity in Health is calling for submissions to our Collection on Leaving no one behind on the road to Universal Health Coverage: The Kerala story. The south Indian state of Kerala has long been considered a global exemplar of providing good health care at low cost to its people. The pursuit of equity, it can be said, has been a refrain in Kerala's public policy for decades, but with myriad approaches (such as those linking equity to opportunity, while others frame it as an access issue), various intended and unintended effects, and shifts in health and welfare system properties and roles of a range of stakeholders in government, in local leadership and beyond. Drawing from a decade-long engagement in the state and a five-year study on health inequalities, this special issue takes equity as its starting point and seeks to feature perspectives, research, and on-the-ground reflections of those who have been part of this history. We aim to voice, encourage critical reflection on Kerala's equity journey, and draw out lessons for other states in the Indian union as well as relevant contexts across the globe. This special issue will feature up to 12 papers – a combination of perspectives/commentaries, research articles, notes from the field and other papers – that describe health equity in the state.

With 'The Nun,' Warner Bros.' box office streak continues
LINDSEY BAHR
AP Film Writer
LOS ANGELES — The horror movie "The Nun" has topped the domestic box office in its first weekend, scoring a best for the "Conjuring" franchise and another win for Warner Bros.
Studio estimates on Sunday say the Demian Bichir and Taissa Farmiga-led film brought in $53.5 million from 3,876 North American theaters. Internationally, it banked $77.5 million for a massive $131 million global debut. The movie, a spinoff of a character seen in "The Conjuring 2" and set in 1952 Romania, cost only $22 million to produce.
Before "The Nun," the largest opening in the "Conjuring" universe, which includes the "Annabelle" films, was "The Conjuring's" $41.8 million launch.
"The subject in the title 'The Nun,' just gets a bigger broader audience," said Jeffrey Goldstein, Warner Bros.' president of domestic distribution.
Opening weekend audiences were heavily Hispanic (35 percent), according to exit polls, and significantly higher than other films in the series. "The Conjuring," for instance, attracted a 17 percent Hispanic audience.
This marks the fifth consecutive weekend that a Warner Bros. movie has held first place domestically, following in the successful footsteps of "Crazy Rich Asians" and "The Meg." It's also the fourth that the studio has held the first and second place spots which is the first time this has happened in the industry in over 25 years. The last time was in 1989 when Universal Pictures had "Sea of Love," "Uncle Buck" and "Parenthood."
"The calendar has 12 months and 52 weeks," Goldstein said of the industry-leading streak. "We had gotten a fair amount of criticism for what our release schedule looked like in the summer, but I kept on saying it's not about summer, it's about the whole year."
"The Nun" effectively scared "Crazy Rich Asians" into second place for the first time in its four-week run. The rom-com added $13.6 million, bringing its total North American earning to $136.2 million.
Third place went to the R-rated Jennifer Garner revenge movie "Peppermint," from STXFilms, which debuted on par with expectations to $13.3 million.
"'Peppermint' was a movie that was meant to give a completely different option to 'The Nun,'" said Paul Dergarabedian, a senior media analyst for box office tracker comScore. " 'The Nun' was just this overwhelming juggernaut."
And holdovers rounded out the top five with "The Meg" in fourth with $6 million and "Searching" in fifth with $4.5 million.
Despite "The Nun's" strong performance, the weekend is down nearly 30 percent from last year when "It" scored a record-breaking opening, but the year overall is still up 9.5 percent.
"Look out," Dergarabedian said. "This could be the biggest box office year ever."
Estimated ticket sales for Friday through Sunday at U.S. and Canadian theaters, according to comScore. Where available, the latest international numbers for Friday through Sunday are also included. Final domestic figures will be released Monday.
1. "The Nun," $53.5 million ($77.5 million international).
2. "Crazy Rich Asians," $13.6 million.
3. "Peppermint," $13.3 million.
4. "The Meg," $6 million.
5. "Searching," $4.5 million.
6. "Mission: Impossible — Fallout," $3.8 million.
7. "Christopher Robin," $3.2 million.
8. "Operation Finale," $3 million.
9. "BlacKkKlansman,"$2.6 million.
10. "Alpha," $2.5 million.

Into the Ring () — второй сольный студийный альбом вокалиста шотландской рок-группы Nazareth Дэна Маккафферти. Выпущен в 1987 году на лейбле Mercury Records на компакт-дисках, виниловых пластинках и аудиокассетах. На пластинку вошли песни, которые по тем или иным причинам не подошли группе Nazareth. Альбом записан Дэном МакКафферти в сотрудничестве с Питом Эгню и немецкими сессионными музыкантами. Записанный в Chameleon Studios в Гамбурге, ФРГ, Into the Ring был спродюсирован Кристофом Буссе.

Обложка
На обложке изображено размытое фото игроков в американский футбол, что прямо противоречит боксёрской метафоре заглавного трека.

Обзор альбома
Стилистически пластинка похожа на альбомы Nazareth наполненные клавишными и запрограммированными ударными, такие как The Catch и Cinema, но важно отметить, что альбом на самом деле состоит из двух разных частей разделённых между соответствующими сторонами.

Первая сторона альбома начинается с заглавной песни «Into the Ring» — единственной композиции соавторства Дэна Маккаферти и Мэнни Чарлтона на этом альбоме. «Backstage Pass» авторства Маккаферти и Пита Эгнью повествует о поклоннице коллектива (так называемая группиз) , которая делает себя доступной для дорожной бригады группы, чтобы получить желаемый приз (попасть на концерт любимой группы). Нетрудно понять, почему этот трек со «сменой пола» не вписался в рамки мужественности классического Nazareth.

В меланхоличной балладе с драматическими мощными аккордами и мощной игрой на барабанах «Starry Eyes» (Буссе — Маккаферти — Эгнью) Дэн объясняет девушке, почему он должен держаться подальше от гастролей, простым заявлением: «Я люблю тебя, но я люблю рок!».

Написанная Маккаферти и Эгнью песня «Sunny Island» наполнена легким карибским колоритом. В песне главный герой сожалеет о переезде из тропического места в  холодный Нью-Йорк.

«For a Car» (Маккаферти — Эгнью) — жесткий поп-рок номер с бэк-вокалом от Пита Эгнью, который также играет на бас-гитаре на всей первой стороне пластинки.

Написанная Маккаферти и Эгнью «Caledonia» — это безмятежная эпопея об их родной Шотландии, в которую Дэн вложился больше, чем во что-либо еще на записи.

Вся вторая сторона альбома является переработкой альбома немецкого певца и автора песен Ханса Хартца «Neuland Suite» (1985) (также спродюсированного Кристофом Буссе), который занял 57-е место в чартах Западной Германии. На данном альбоме рассказывалась история о группе из ста человек, путешествующих, чтобы найти новую жизнь в неизвестной стране. В треке «Sally Mary» с этого альбома  ведущий вокал исполнил Маккафферти, который также снялся в видеоклипе на эту песню.

Для второго сольного альбома МакКафферти было решено перезаписать всю вторую сторону, или, по крайней мере, перезаписать ведущий вокал проекта Хартца «Neuland Suite», теперь переименованного в «Suite: Nowhere Land».

Повесть начинается с «Headin' for South America» (первоначальное название «Wir Fahren Nach Sudamerica»). Из текста песни становится понятно, что группа моряков ищет неизвестный остров и полна решимости путешествовать столько времени, сколько потребуется, чтобы найти его.

Короткая инструментальная интерлюдия «The Departure» («Die Abfahrt») примечательна гулкими барабанами и синтезатором, играющим ведущую партию. «Southern Cross» («Kreuz Des Sudens») — непринужденная баллада рассказывающая об измученном путнике, который пишет письмо домой любимой («Мы все еще полны надежд, хотя путешествие утомляет»).

Рок-н-ролльная «Where the Ocean Ends» («Hinterm Ozean Liegt Ein Neves Land») описывает путешественников празднующих свободу и предвкушающих новую жизнь.

В «Sally Mary» с атмосферой пения в баре рассказывается о путешественниках развлекающих друг друга рассказами о доме и близких, которых они оставили. Вместе с Маккаферти песню спел Ханс Хартц.

«Island in the Sun» («Insel Vor Dem Wind») на первый взгляд представляет собой  конец паломничества группы, когда на горизонте появляется серия островов. Этот проблеск надежды переходит в гимноподобную «Albatross», которая, несмотря на то, что звучит эпично и позитивно, на самом деле является изображением мрачного разочарования от того, что добраться до цели удалось немногим.

Альбом заканчивается песней «We've Been a Hundred Men» («Die Letze Mussen Die Ersten Sein»), из которой видно, что из первоначальной сотни человек, отправившихся в это путешествие, выжили только десять. Трек включает краткую инструментальную репризу «Headin' for South America», показывающую, что оставшиеся в живых путешественники разворачиваются и начинают долгое и удручающее путешествие домой.

Странность данной саги в том, что на первый взгляд кажется, что эта история произошла много десятилетий назад, когда можно было представить годичные путешествия по морю. На самом же деле сюжет «Suite: Nowhere-Land» (и ее оригинальной немецкой интерпретации) происходит с 15 августа 1989 г. по сентябрь 1990 г.

Traveling can be a fun undertaking, even when it involves traveling for business purposes. One thing which can take some of the joy out of traveling is spending a lot of cash to do it. Read this article for some helpful tips to maximize your travel experiences while minimizing your expenses.
Many travel sites offer E-tracking. These sites will alert you should accommodations or flight prices change. You can get email alerts for booked flights or even for dropped prices on transportation that you are interested in.
Just keep in mind you will probably pay more and it doesn't really save that much space. Try different techniques for folding that save space when you're packing your clothes. Utilizing some of these methods can leave you with quite a bit more space in your bag.
A/V cables can connect your computer to a television in a hotel room. Then, instead of renting the outrageously priced pay-per-view offerings the hotel has, you can log into your Netflix or Hulu account like you do at home.
Don't think you have to travel great distances to have a good vacation. Many times you can enjoy yourself right in your own state or a neighboring one. Enjoy your local businesses and enjoy the savings. You can be delighted to discover a place you never knew existed.
While you are ordering your airline tickets look for ways to ensure your flight is comfortable. Perhaps you are able to select specific seats on the plane. While not true of all carriers, most airlines will allow you to specify where in the plane you would like to be seated. Once your flight is booked, monitor the booking site to see if requesting your seat is an option. If you do, you improve your chances of getting the seat you want.
If you are going abroad and transiting through different countries, find out about the visas you need. Getting a visa doesn't mean that you can just enter a country as there are various visas; it is important to do your research. Consult your travel agent, as well as the embassy's website corresponding to the country in which you are going.
When you go on a road trip it's always a good idea to take along some tunes, so that you can have more fun on the ride. Many times, the radio will have a lot of static from traveling out of the city or state, so this provides you with constant entertainment during your trip.
Keep a picture of your child with you if they get lost. It can be a very scary thing to lose your child. No matter how thoroughly it is guarded against, it can still happen. Carrying a picture of your child with you, so that you can identify them if you become separated, can make a difference in terms of a speedy reunion.
Play areas are in many airports, and they can help entertain your kids. Your delay will go more smoothly if your children are happy than if they were tired and bored.
Amusements parks and other attractions have options of printing tickets out online before you leave for your destination. You will generally pay a nominal fee for this service, but you won't have to wait in ticket lines when you arrive. For big attractions that have timed entry available, you can use that, too, to get you in faster.
Before boarding your flight, get a quick workout in. It's boring having to sit through a long flight. Sitting without being able to move can make both your back and your legs cramp up. If a workout is out of the question, then at least do a little stretching before you board.
Watch out for faux cops or faux government officials in foreign countries, as they may be criminals. Keep your passport on you at all times, and do not hand it over to anyone. If you are asked to go to an office with them, walk. Always use common sense and never accept a ride from a stranger.
Now that you know how to travel smart, you're ready for smooth sailing. No matter where you are going, you will always have more fun when you know that you got a good travel deal.

Cumberland Library adapts as foot traffic slows
By MELANIE THIBEAULT, Valley Breeze Staff Writer
CUMBERLAND – While fewer patrons have been passing through the doors of the Cumberland Public Library during the pandemic, staff members say one bright spot of the crisis has been being able to provide them with new services and programs.
From hosting virtual events to expanding access to technology, "We've been able to help patrons in new and exciting ways," said Melissa Chiavaroli, head of reference at the Cumberland Public Library. "Our team is amazing. We're doing our best to make as many services available as possible."
The Cumberland Library, which is currently only open for curbside pickup, closed in mid-March and reopened in May for curbside pickup, allowing patrons to browse and use the computer in limited numbers in June. The building stayed open until just before Thanksgiving, and Assistant Director Aaron Coutu told The Breeze he's hoping they will be more fully open again as soon as possible. Chiavaroli said patrons aren't able to use the library in the way they are accustomed to. "It's really hard right now. We miss being able to provide that full 100 percent in-house library experience," she said. That said, "we feel it's important to keep patrons and staff safe."
The library has faced staff shortages as various people have had to quarantine due to exposure to the virus, Coutu noted. While staff members have been out, others step up to help fill in, he said.
"We want to make sure if someone is having a hard time, everyone steps in to help get them through it," he said.
From June to November, the library was operating fairly normally but with fewer patrons since more people were staying home, Coutu said, adding that numbers fluctuated during that time.
"People could pretty much do anything except sit down and hang out," he said.
Pre-pandemic, the library would see 15,000 to 17,000 patrons come through the doors per month, Coutu said, or approximately 500 to 600 a day.
When the building has been open during the pandemic, Coutu said they average about 210 people per day and said staff see between 80 to 100 people per day for contactless pickup, which doesn't include people picking up craft kits to do at home.
"We are still getting a pretty good response," he said. "People still want their materials."
Coutu did notice an increase in patrons over the summer when outdoor programming and story times were taking place, adding that families were great about keeping their distance.
The pandemic has forced staff to provide virtual programs, which have proven successful. Coutu said staff previously explored the possibility of hosting online programming but never had a chance to work out details before the pandemic hit. "This obviously spurred us on to do just that," he said. "We've gotten better at making it easily accessible."
He said they've noticed that there's some interest there, and they are looking to continue some programming virtually even after the pandemic ends.
Just as in normal times, Coutu said different virtual events attract different folks but noted that a cooking segment hosted by staff member Lynne Daigneault has been popular. A new pub-style trivia event also had pretty good numbers, and Coutu said that's one event they'd like to try hosting at the library when it's safe to do so. "We could see families coming together and having a great time doing it," he said.
Book clubs have continued virtually, with some attracting new members from further away, and staff was able to continue doing home delivery service to residents who are homebound, even before the pandemic hit, he said.
Chiavaroli noted that to-go craft kits have been huge, especially among adults. They have also evolved computer services, she said, so even when people can't come into the library to use the computers, they can send documents through the Cloud or email to be printed and then pick them up curbside.
Through the town of Cumberland and CARES Act funds, the library has received help with COVID-19-related expenses, Coutu said, which has "helped us a lot."
The library, through funding from the Ocean State Libraries, has been able to offer folks free Wi-Fi connection in the parking lot. Coutu said he doesn't have stats from those devices yet, but there's been some excitement about the initiative.
As part of an upcoming community art project, Chiavaroli said they're asking people to help make 1,000 paper cranes, which in Japanese folklore is supposed to bring good health and prosperity. There will be an online presentation this month about origami, which will include a tutorial, she said, and they will be collecting the paper cranes throughout the month of January. "It's a way to be together apart," she said.
Coutu said staff are looking forward to being able to return closer and closer to normal operations, to the day when people can gather at the library again. "One of things that's been refreshing (is) how understanding our patrons have been," he said. "It's been impressive how adaptive they've been willing to be."
Coutu said if patrons need something and aren't sure if the library offers it, they should call or email, and staff will do their best to help.

We Love Arts: The Threepenny Opera
Polly Peachum (Erin Driscoll) and Lucy Brown (Rick Hammerly) vie for the love of Macheath in "The Threepenny Opera," now playing at Signature Theatre through June 1, 2014. Photo by Margot Schulman.
Meh. That's the best way to describe Signature Theatre's production of The Threepenny Opera. But I can't blame them for it. After all, it was written to be that way. Sort of.
Playwright Bertolt Brecht, who lived in Germany through the mid 20th century, believed that theatre was meant to be a forum for political ideas, in the hopes that it would result in actual social and bureaucratic change. Most notably authoring plays such as The Caucasian Chalk Circle and Mother Courage and Her Children, he is also credited with establishing the genre of Epic Theatre, of which almost all his plays, including The Threepenny Opera, are a part of.
Epic Theatre is based on the idea that a play should not create any type of emotional cartharsis or cause the spectator to identify emotionally at all with the characters or action on stage. By denying the audience any type of impassioned feeling, he believed it would instead allow them to adopt a critical socio-political view designed to provoke self-reflection and be moved to effect real change in the world.
To achieve this effect, Brecht's Epic Theatre relies most importantly on verfremdungseffekt, which essentially is the effect of deliberately distancing or estranging the audience from what they are viewing. The Threepenny Opera, therefore, is purposely written to keep the audience at bay in the hopes of creating enough social rumination that its spectators will leave the theatre as active advocates for civic change.
The problem with Brecht's Epic Theatre is that unless the perfect combination of political, social, cultural, and theatrical production elements occur—as was the case with the original 1928 Berlin production, which played more than 400 times over two years, sparking an entire movement of non-Aristotelian drama—the principle of verfremdungseffekt will leave the audience unmoved and uninspired, as was the case with Signature Theatre's production.
Based on John Gay's 1728 play The Beggar's Opera, The Threepenny Opera tells the story of the morally corrupt working-class Peachum family who conspire to have London's most notorious criminal and playboy Macheath arrested after he marries their seemingly innocent daughter. As the show progresses, the audience discovers that every single character in the show is utterly corruptible and reprehensible, and begs the question of who actually deserves to be punished for their sins if everyone is disgraceful.
Director Matthew Gardiner and his design team have created a visually interesting show, making use of tableau to generate a series of lovely live images. Costume designer Frank Labovitz's costumes fit the nature of the characters perfectly, and the intricacies of video designer Rocco Disanti's projections were fun to watch (particularly the stock ticker that subtlely has all positive stocks drop to negative worth before they finish scrolling). Gardiner has a keen eye for detail, which was evident in both the design of the show as well as providing the only real layer of depth in a deliberate one-dimensional production, which served as the only truly interesting part of the show.
This was especially evident in Erin Driscoll's (as the ingénue Polly Peachum) Barbara's Song, where she explains to her parents (played with impressive zeal by Bobby Smith and Donna Migliaccio) why she married the criminal Macheath (Mitchell Jarvis). The musical highlight of the show, Driscoll managed to break Brecht's intended verfremdungseffekt to actually draw in the audience emotionally, taking them on her humorous journey of lust. Rick Hammerly, who played Lucy Brown with such remarkable conviction that I had a hard time believing the female character was actually a male actor, was able to rise to the challenge of pulling me in emotionally so that she became the only character whose ending I actually cared about. Similarly, Smith also has a knack for naturally drawing the audience in and I found myself trying to connect with him, despite the script's inherent attempts to detract me from doing just that.
Unfortunately, Brecht's desire to remove all emotional connection to the show and its characters was quite successful, regardless of the fact that the cast was stellar. Jarvis's commendable performance as Macheath (reminiscent of Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean trilogy) was not enough to keep me from caring whether or not he was actually hung in the end and, despite having an incredible singing voice, Natascia Diaz's (as the prostitute Jenny)familiar Flick Knife Song (also known as the popular crooner tune Mack the Knife) left me feeling blasé at best.
Although my indifference to the show may have been a result of some flaw in this particular production, it was unclear where any specific flaw was, if at all. The show, as a whole, is actually very well put together. The cast is extremely talented, the production quality spot on, and the direction was well thought out. For this reason, I can only attribute my apathetic reaction to Brecht's intentionally detached script and composer Kurt Weill's music, which is notoriously devoid of favorable melody.
Signature Theatre's production succeeded in accomplishing Brecht's desire of having me be nothing more than an emotionally passive spectator. Where it (and Brecht) failed was that I did not leave the theatre feeling any type of self-reflection or the need to invoke any type of socio-political change. I don't know if it's because my world of 2014 Washington DC is a just too different from 1928 Berlin, or because the production was unable to find that fine line that is perhaps required to successfully initiate social change. All I know is I left the theatre with only one feeling. Meh.
The Threepenny Opera performs now through June 1, 2014 at Signature Theatre, located at 4200 Campbell Avenue, Arlington VA 22206. Tickets start at $40. For more information, call 703-820-9771.

00:05:58 One hired by Battle Support and one by the Pentagon.
00:10:56 These guys live by being assholes. It'll never end.
00:11:49 and I heard they were dropped into the Persian Gulf.
00:16:22 He came back from Iraq with fibromyalgia.
00:17:15 Hmm, I'm beginning to detect a pattern here.
00:18:50 it's impossible for me to tease out a single cause.
00:31:36 - You gotta learn to ignore me. - Don't worry.
00:32:20 I already asked them to send up some blood samples.
00:33:16 but it's spherically, in a truncated icosahedron.
00:35:07 Hey, Morrison, how're you doing?
00:38:15 No, they'd have to be lighter. I mean, compressed air adds a few pounds.
00:40:07 All right, why don't you two pack a bag?
00:44:10 the Americans encouraged the southern Shiites to rebel against Saddam, right?
00:45:10 Thank you for everything.

Why do a #WaxtasticChallenge ?
This year is my second year doing the Waxtastic Challenge. I first started on a dare from one of my students – My goodness! "How many different wax outfits do you in fact have? How long can you go without repeating one? Maybe a week?" – And so the Waxtastic Challenge was born. Followed by 40 days of wax fabric indulgence!
There are no precise rules except for the following: Celebrate Senegalese fashion and promote Senegalese tailors, vendors, designers and artists!
For me, this means that I'll be featuring as many different made-in-Senegal fashion pieces as possible throughout the month of November. For others, it could be as simple as sharing a favorite outfit or a favorite boutique. Tag your posts on social media with #WaxtasticChallenge to share the love!
1) It helps bring some joy to the last few dreadfully hot days of the season.
Can't help but just start sweating as soon as you open your closet in the morning, a Pavlov reaction to weeks of sweat-soaked clothing? Counting down the days until you can wear jeans again? Mix it up a little bit and find some joy again in your clothes!
If you're anything like me, there's nothing like the process of building that perfect new wax ensemble. Perusing the market for that perfect pattern, pouring over endless pinterest posts for that spark of inspiration, working with your tailor to somehow make that a reality – in whatever language works (Franglof is my favorite! French+English+Wolof!), visiting for alterations for that custom-made fit, and finally the joy of wearing it out for the first time. But that means that I have an endless array of dresses, tops, skirts, pants in the back of my closet that have gotten buried underneath my newly-acquired masterpieces. Time to pull them out and see what still works and what should be donated. Consider it prepping for the Gazelle Skirt Clothing SWAP in January.
3) Share your favorite designers and boutiques, and hopefully bring some more business their way!
There's some many wonderful designers in Dakar left to discover. Share your favorites and see what others are featuring. Maybe you'll find that special piece that's been missing from your collection or a new go-to for gifts.
4) It's just plain fun!
Who doesn't love wearing wax fabric, looking at wax fabric, dreaming of wax fabric?!?!?!
Hope to see you all on Facebook and Instagram! Can't wait to see what magic you have in your closets!

A new Facebook feature allows politicians to connect with constituents by showing which users in the comments are in their constituency.
As part of the new update, Facebook has also released constituent insights and district targeting tools for politicians on the social network.
Constituent insights will allow politicians to see what's popular in their constituency, including news stories, allowing them to discover what's relevant to Facebook users they represent.
District targeting will allow politicians to gather feedback from accounts only in their constituency.
The tools will give them the option of setting polls only to their local area and the ability to address local issues in posts that are only visible to those in the area.
The update is Facebook's latest for their Town Hall section, which aims to connect politicians and their voters online.

Imagine a small group of believers between 7-12 sitting around a living room, sharing a meal together, loving one another, speaking words of encouragement and faith and sharing the wisdom of Scripture. Imagine hearing how one person has applied that wisdom to their own life, and then you hear another person speak of how they need to apply the wisdom to theirs. The gathering ends with a time of prayer as each person seeks the face of God for the welfare of the others. A sense of peace, power and expectancy fills the room as the Holy Spirit sweetly sweeps over their heads.
What I just described to you may sound like a romantic picture of the early Church but, in reality it is the very experience I had in Adams Minnesota in December as I attended a house gathering I was invited to by Arlen and Sharron.
A Church is not a Sunday meeting a Church is a family made up those who have been called by God and have responded in obedience. A people dedicated to the Word, fellowship, and prayer. The Church is a place where Life is given, shared and felt.
Last year I introduced the idea of Life groups to the church. I know some of you have been participating and from what I hear some of you are experiencing the wonders of God. Yet there are many in the church who are not participating in these life groups. I am sure there are many reasons as to why. Maybe, there is not one that fits your schedule, maybe you are unsure what it is, it could also be that you simply see it as a program pastor is starting and you do not want to share in it. But let me say this. I am not starting a program, I am rather trying to move us into a more Biblical pattern of the Church.
A Life group is not simply a Bible study. This may be hard to understand being that over the last 100 years we in the West have made the main point of our faith be memorization. But the Life group is not a Bible study. Yes the Life group is dedicated to the Word but, being dedicated to the Word is not a Bible study. I am dedicated to my wife but, trust me if set there and simply studied her she would get a little nervous.
What a Life group is: A life group is just that a group of believers that gather weekly (Any time, or day is fine) to fulfill Acts 2:42-47. A life group gathers to be dedicated to the Word (Learn it and help one another apply it). It is a group that becomes as close as family, praying, sharing, eating, playing, and being there for one another. A Life group is the setting real discipleship takes place.
If you honestly want to become more like Jesus then you need to be part of a Life group.
If there is not a Life group that is currently meeting that will fit in your schedule please let me know. We will immediately create on that will work for you or find a way that you will be able to participate in some fashion.
The long missing ingredient of the Church has been intimate fellowship; where iron sharpens iron and man sharpens man. I encourage you seek God and seek a Life group.
After all we all want to be more than a building and more than a weekly meeting. We all want to be a river of life for our communities and towns. Join a Life group today!
Osage – Currently we have one that is meeting on Wednesday night and is now moving to Alan and Cheryl Adams. I would like to see at least 2 or 3 Life groups active in Osage.
Riceville – Wednesday night at 7 pm at Bill and Karen Owen's home.
Carpenter – Friday 11 a.m. at Richard and Julie Lindley.

2011 was a very warm and early season in Hawkes Bay. Each individual grape variety was harvested separately and made into uniquely different wine lots. The grapes were gently de-stemmed prior to fermentation. Subsequently the colour and tannins were extracted by gentle and daily pumping over during fermentation. The skin maceration was extended for up to 3 weeks following fermentation to soften and integrate the tannins. Following 10 month aging in a combination of small French oak and stainless steel tanks, the individual varieties were blended to create the ideal marriage of the components.
The 2011 Trinity is a Merlot predominant blend including smaller proportions of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. These were fermented separately and then blended to create a serious but entirely delicious wine. A small percent of alternative varieties including Tempranillo, Malbec and Petit Verdot add complexity and palate interest. The leather and plum aromas of the Merlot combine with aromatic spice and red currant characters of Cabernet Franc. Cassis aromas and backbone are contributed by Cabernet Sauvignon. Richness and soft, ripe tannins make a serious yet eminently drinkable wine. This wine is made to be enjoyed while still quite young.
The Trinity is a versatile wine that can be enjoyed with a great variety of flavoured food. We like it with medium paste cheese, with pastas and pizzas.

In case you didn't already know, I am pretty dang good at getting cozy with every book that I read, so I am being a little free and loose with today's challenge. Instead of featuring one book to get cozy with, I am showing where I do my cozying. This is my corner of the sofa and it's resplendent. That's right, I said RESPLENDENT! It's chaise-like so not only can I stretch out, but my Bubba has his space to lounge too. If you can't tell by Bubba's easy position, this is HIS spot and no one else is allowed to sit there. If you do he will promptly jump up next to you and continue to scoot until you get the hint that you need to move your caboose! I have not one, but two blankets. A quilted blanket that Bubba lounges on and a heated throw underneath in case I feel like warming up just that little bit more. I even have a small table that I use to hold my drink of the moment and my books. So, yes, I am bragging a bit on my cozy spot that I enjoy so much. One day, I hope to have a room that I can turn into a library and have an entire cozy space!

I think Dennis is right, don't trust something that you cant be sure works.
If you are following in the "Stupid Zone" e.g. about 1 car length behind his bumper, you are going to hit whatever he dodged.
That pretty much applies to a lot of other drivers, too.
This would include all unknown teenagers.
I have adaptive cruise control. It's a simple matter of turning the cc off in traffic, paying attention to what is going on around you and driving defensively.
Is driving cutting into your phone time?
For me ,it makes my job easier and safer from killing some auto driver that I didn't know was where I can't see them,some people are too old to learn to use the devices that could save their life.
Cutting into phone time,getting caught using the phone in a semi will put a dent in your wallet so NO it doesn't cut into my phone time.
Yep in a perfect situation your theory would be all one would need BUT in a non perfect situation tehnonogy will save someone's family,we as Prfessional drivers of 80,000 lb vehicle have been taught to do anything possible to keep from taking a life and in some circumstance drivers make the decision to sacrifice their own life to save others,now we as drivers can count on having some help from technology.
The adaptive cruise on my 2017 RAV4 is one of the best things about a great car. If the fool in front of you decides to lock up the brakes because a chipmunk just ran out onto the road, the car will start to brake before your brain even notices the brake lights in front of you. "Keep a safe distance," you say. EXACTLY . . . the RAV has three distance settings on the cruise. If someone decides to fill the empty space, the car just backs off to adjust the following distance.
AZgl1800 and Pure Texas like this.
around here, with all the fools constantly cutting off and crowding into your safe zone, would burn out you brakes really quick. can computers compensate for stupid? no, that is something that cant be fixed.
i guess that technology would be useful on freeways, but who drives on those?
To keep Honda at the leading edge of design, the 2019 Gold Wing should include an Adaptive Cruise Control. The technology has matured enough in cars, and application to a motorcycle should be well within the capabilities of the few vendors now supplying General Motors, Ford, Honda, etc.
Managing following distance and avoiding slow speed fender benders would be welcome. But first, Honda should straighten out the confusing button direction choices now used to control the 2018 system.
Drive carefully. There are nuts on the road.
