Court rulings favorable to the state and the outcome of two executions in three months indicate Ohio could be on track to resume putting inmates to death regularly.
The state executed child killer Ronald Phillips in July and double killer Gary Otte on Wednesday in the state death chamber at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville.
Witnesses said Phillips did not appear to be distressed. Otte's chest rose and fell several times over two minutes in a fashion similar to some executions, though the movement appeared to go on longer than in the past.
Otte's lawyers believe he suffered a phenomenon known as air hunger and plan to continue their challenge of Ohio's use of a sedative called midazolam.
"My concerns were that he was obstructing, he was suffering air hunger, trying desperately to get air, and there were tears running down his face, which indicated to me that he was feeling pain or sensations," federal public defender Carol Wright said after Wednesday's execution.
The next and last execution scheduled this year is Nov. 15, when the state plans to put Alva Campbell to death. A jury found Campbell, 69, guilty of killing 18-year-old Charles Dials 20 years ago after Campbell, who was in a wheelchair while feigning paralysis, escaped from a court hearing.
Ohio is scheduled to execute four people next year, including Cleveland R. Jackson, of Lima, and six in 2019. Nine men were executed in 2010, the most since Ohio resumed putting inmates to death in 1999.


This is a Confluent Enterprise-only feature.
Principal propagation takes the principal from authentication mechanism configured for client to the REST proxy and propagates that same principal when making requests to the Kafka broker.
Kafka supports the SSL and SASL authentication mechanisms that are based on the client's security.protocol config. Principal propagation is supported for the supported Kafka security mechanisms by setting up the client appropriately.
For further reference on Kafka Security, please refer to Kafka Security.
SSL propagation is picked by the plugin when the security.protocol is set to SSL. For SSL propagation to work, it is required to all load all the certificates corresponding to the required principal in a single client KeyStore file. Once this is done, the plugin would pick the appropriate certificate alias based on the logged on principal while making requests to Kafka . Currently, the logged on principal must exactly match the X500 Principal of the certificate. This is straight forward when SSL is used as the authentication mechanism.
Kafka REST's key store client.ssl.keystore.location is loaded with Certificate-A and Certificate-B . The certificate is then chosen by the plugin based on who the client is.
SASL propagation is picked by the plugin when the security.protocol is set to either of SASL_PLAIN or SASL_SSL. Security plugin supports all the sasl.mechanism supported by Kafka clients. Just like a regular Kafka client, the plugin also expects a JAAS config file to be configured through -Djava.security.auth.login.config. It is required for all the principals to be specified in the JAAS config file under the section KafkaClient. Refer to SASL Configuration for details about configuring SASL for Kafka client and broker.
In the JAAS config file all the principals need to be explicitly specified. The plugin supports specifying principals using following supported mechanisms: GSSAPI , PLAIN , SCRAM-SHA-256 and SCRAM-SHA-512 . Also, the plugin ignores any configured sasl.mechanism and picks it automatically based on the LoginModule specified for the principal.
All the mechanisms except SCRAM-SHA-256 would be automatically detected by the plugin and SCRAM-SHA-256 can be explicitly mentioned as an option in the ScramLoginModule.

Are your prospects getting back to you in a timely manner?
If you want to increase your sign up rate, here is EXACTLY how to follow up with your network marketing prospect.
Once you have sent your business opportunity to a person who asked for it, how do you follow up?
Now most times when people ask me this, they're doing everything through Facebook Messenger. If you do all business through Facebook Messenger, you will miss a percentage of signups. But, this really depends on your level of communication.
The key is to analyze the emotional language of somebody else through Messenger. Which is definitely a skill.
I will take a look at people's language patterns. And I can do this verbally or through text.
If I hear the words, or read the words, "see" and "vision", I know they're a visual type of person. And so, I will use that language pattern back on them. And I will use that vision language pattern back on them.
I might say something like that.
If someone uses things like, "Take me by the hand," or "really grasp it," then I know that they're more of a kinesthetic type of language pattern.
I will use their language pattern back on them.
Now, if you're a master communicator like that, then you'll probably only miss about maybe 10% of the signups that you would have gotten, had you jumped on the phone.
If you're NOT a master communicator like that, then you'll lose 30% – 40% of the people that you could have recruited, if you didn't get on the phone.
Now some people just refuse to get on the phone. And long term, that's a bad decision.
Keep in mind, when you relay a message, they have all the time in the world to contemplate what you just said. They have all the time in the world to think about a response, and really think of a clever one, or really take their time.
When I'm speaking to someone on the phone, I can tell very, very fast what to say. If I hear a sigh, or a big long pause, I know I've hit an emotional trigger point, and I know exactly what to say to get them on board.
So, if you're NOT a master communicator, you'll lose 30% – 40% of the recruits that you could have gotten, if you refuse to get on the phone.
How do you get your prospect from social media to the phone? And, when do you follow up?
In the video below I will share exactly what to say to your prospect. This is communication that will put you in the position to get WAY more recruits.

I had the pleasure of photographing a dear friend and their family. They live in the Folsom area so they loved the idea of shooting out at Folsom. It was such a nice session and so fun. I love all the different textures and colors Old Folsom has to offer. Felt good to change things up for a bit too.
I had the ultimate pleasure to capture these sweet girls first few days of life. I LOVE these sessions… they are SO special to me. I so wish I had these memories of my babies captured forever. I tried to do it myself with my middle son but after a c-section you kind of have a "I don't care" attitude. It is best to decided before the baby comes if these are something you want or not. Post delivery is never a good time to make decisions. LOL. This is my sweet friend B. Like any friendship we've seen some of lifes up and downs. Recently because of these little beauty's we've been in touch more. They are SO precious. B, is a FANTASTIC mom and Dad has embraced fatherhood 110%… I've seen it first hand.
This "First Day of Life" shoot took place in their room and in the NICU. I feel so comfortable with the little NICU babies… having one of my own once. This session was so precious to me. I loved that they asked me to capture these precious moments for them.
This is my favorite part of weddings- Getting Ready. I love capturing all the details, the fun moments… and for me they just feel better in B&W. Here is a fun look at one of my July Weddings. This Large room with gorgeous light was a Photographers DREAM. It was so great for picture taking. I thought I'd share with you just a *small* bit of their big day. Full blog will be coming… so stay tuned.
This family was so sweet! Loved their cute kiddoes. It was so great to work with them also. Little Miss S, was finally home from the hospital and we had to capture this new family of 5. We went to one of my favorite photo locations but a different spot. It was a nice change of scenery. We did a hybrid of baby and family portraits. It was just right for this family.
Little Miss K was so sweet holding her daddies hand… she is a daddies girl & it was so precious!

So there's lot of randomness to share with all of you. I'm taking a break from organized weight loss and meal planning until the week before classes start. That's the plan anyway. Next week it's back to before more deliberate about what's going in and out. I'll be at a conference as well which means I'm normally moving around much more than I am at work so there's that. Come August 13th it's time to get back on the grind though. I feel a little fuller which I'm not digging and I would like to just have the health and mental wellness benefits that come when I work out regularly. I'm giving myself between August 1 and December 31st to get back into the losing weight camp again. If that doesn't happen I may have to cut all my hair off and move in with monks. Okay that's not happening but I will be pissed.
So I logged on earlier with the intention of just giving a brief update on what's been happening and to of course go overboard with my happy for the tv show that makes all the random fireworks tolerable today. Except when I got to my page things looked off. Turns out Photobucket, who clearly is tired of giving away things for free, had replaced a few of my hosting images with one of their own saying that I needed to "update" my account in order to restore them. So I click over to the site and look for something to update and there's squat. I at that point am getting annoyed and start doing some searching before going directly to the website the image referenced. In order to keep using the images as I had been the previous few years this blog has been active I would have to upgrade not update my account. And that upgrade wasn't going to come cheap. I had to be willing to shell out at least 40 bucks a month, or 400 annually woo two months free, to keep my links active in the way they had been. Most of my images of my hair and stuff I upload directly to blogger so thankfully I wasn't losing a ton of stuff there but my divider bar, signature and a few things in the side bar were MIA. I just had done some digging about other images and remembered I could embed the images in this site and just did that but then had to edit the HTML code. Many cut and pastes, a random error that I had to look on how to fix and many saves to be safe and the page is mostly restored. Some of the image tags for different posts will be absent until I go in to fix them but the page itself is good.


Mumbai: Tens of millions of workers risk having their monthly pension benefits cut drastically because of a government decision to change how it calculates retirement payments.
In a notification dated 1 October, the labour ministry said pensions will now be based on average monthly salaries drawn through the entire period of an employee's contribution to the Employees' Pension Scheme (EPS), instead of the last 12 months as has been the practice.
Although a notification means the new rules are effective immediately, pension officials are still considering the implications of the change, which could take some time to come into force.
The new rules, on the face of it, will apply to those now contributing to the pension fund, resulting in a sharp cut in payouts when they retire.
More clarity on whether the change will apply to current beneficiaries and contributors, as well as those who will contribute in the future, can be had only when pension officials themselves study the nuances of the notification.
The monthly pension an employee receives after retirement is the product of average monthly income and the number of years of contribution to the scheme, divided by 70.
The new system will lower the numerator in this equation, and likely affect retirement benefits for about 8.5% of the 516-million-strong workforce in India, or the 44 million employees who contribute to the pension fund, according to human resources consulting firm Mercer Consulting (India) Pvt. Ltd.
"As per the new notification, the pension that an employee receives after retirement could be considerably reduced," said Gautam Kakar, business leader of retirement benefits consulting at Mercer.
The notification comes amid continuing debate on pension reforms intended to maximize returns by engaging fund managers, increasing the cap on equity investments and other measures.
"The basic fault lies in the investment guidelines and if the government does not change these guidelines, the gap in pension funds will be large, and they will have to renege on the promise of pension payments," said U.K. Sinha, chairman and managing director of UTI Asset Management Co. Pvt. Ltd.
Between June 2002 and October 2005, when he was joint secretary in the department of economic affairs at the ministry of finance, Sinha was in charge of pension reforms, and was responsible for drafting the Pension Funds Regulatory and Development Authority Bill, 2005. Even at UTI Asset Management, Sinha has been active in the pensions space, responsible for starting the company's micro-pension initiative for workers in the so-called unorganized sector.
Changing how the government calculates pension payments is one way it can renege on its payments promise. Another, as has been done in countries such as the UK, Italy, Germany and Australia, is to progressively increase the retirement age of employees so the pension fund's corpus swells, Sinha said.
Tapan Sen, secretary of the Centre of Indian Trade Unions, the labour union affiliated to the Communist Party of India (Marxist), said he was not aware of the proposed change. Sen said he was travelling, but would look into it after he returns to Delhi. "We strongly oppose any change in how the pensionable salary is determined," he said.
The new notification has seemingly confounded even the Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO), the body in charge of administering this pension fund.
Two regional commissioners of EPFO that Mint spoke with said a workshop has been organized on 8 November for the fund's officials to discuss and understand the implications of this notification. The commissioners asked not to be named as they are not authorized to speak with the media on government policy. The notification has also done away with a previous clause in the Employees' Provident Funds and Miscellaneous Provisions Act, 1952, which had excluded those earning more than Rs6,500 per month in basic salary from mandatorily contributing to the Employees' Provident Fund (EPF).
"The October notification could mean that all Indians, including those earning over Rs6,500 in basic salary, have to contribute to EPF," said Mercer's Kakar.
Both the pension fund and pension scheme are managed by EPFO.
Under existing rules, 8.33% of the basic salary of an employee earning Rs6,500 or less had to mandatorily go towards EPS and 3.67% towards EPF.


The Palo Alto 13-year-old Babe Ruth all-star team must have felt they were trapped in a nightmare through the first five innings. The last two were sure dreamy though.
Palo Alto scored 11 runs over the final two innings to stage a serious comeback in beating Bel-Mateo, 12-9, at the Northern California state tournament at McKelvey Field in Mountain View on Tuesday.
Palo Alto is scheduled to meet Woodland on Wednesday at 6 p.m. at McKelvey for a berth in the first championship game against Tri-Valley on Thursday. Tri-Valley beat Woodland, 18-4, in the winner's bracket.
Palo Alto sent 13 hitters to the plate during an eight-run rally in the sixth. Zachary Donaker got things started with a one-out single. William Pires and Matthew Caren walked to load the bases.
Adrian Contreras' fly ball to center was mishandled to allow one run to score, Adar Schwarzbach walked to force in another run and Dylan Donnelly singled home a run.
With two outs, Jonah Elisofon reached on an infield error, allowing two runs to score and Michael Gonzalez singled home two more runs to tie it. After Dean Casey singled, Donaker's infield grounder was misplayed, allowing the go-ahead run to score.
Schwarzbach recorded the final out of the fifth and got redit for the win, though Palo Alto needed clutch relief pitching from Caren and Donaker, an inning each, o make sure Palo Alto held on for the win.
Elisofon's two-run single in the top of the seventh gave Palo Alto the extra cushion it needed.

Heroes, cowards and real terrorists in the Middle East
Posted on October 28, 2015 September 24, 2018 By rayhanania No Comments on Heroes, cowards and real terrorists in the Middle East
This weeks marks the 20th anniversary of the murder of Yitzhak Rabin and the destruction of the Palestine-Israel peace process by Israeli extremists led by Benjamin Netanyahu. As the region spirals into greater violence, Netanyahu rises as the singular cause of this vicious cycle of death and destruction
By Ray Hanania
This week marks the 20th anniversary of the murder of the Middle East peace process by a hard lined disciple of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
As the violence escalates in Israel and occupied Palestine, it's easy to trace it back to Netanyahu's rise as Israel's extremist, violent and pro-conflict leader.
But, Netanyahu is not alone. Jordan's King Abdullah II has proven to be a cowardly failure when it comes to leadership, a king who cowers under threats that don't even have to be said from Israel and from his financier, the United States. Without the spineless leadership of King Abdullah, Netanyahu could not exist.
On November 4, 1995, the peace process that would have brought both Palestinians and Israelis to a future of peace and coexistence was violently destroyed by Yigal Amir, an extremist disciple of Netanyahu and a member of his political movement.
English: Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, U.S. president Bill Clinton, and PLO chairman Yasser Arafat. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Amir, an Israeli Jew, assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, a hard-lined and brutal Israeli military general who set aside his extremist policies of land expansion and racism against non-Jews to reach across the blood-filled divide that his nation was partially responsible for creating, and shook the hand of Palestinian leader Yasir Arafat, the only Arab leader to genuinely offer Israel peace in exchange for a final statehood for the Palestinians.
Netanyahu fueled Amir's terrorism with hate-filled speeches at rallies where "coffins for Rabin" were carried and Rabin was compared to a "Nazi ruler" by Netanyahu's supporters. He did nothing to stop the incendiary rhetoric and within months succeeded the murdered peacemaker.
Arafat's contemporaries and successors have agreed to peace, but not as a means of ending the conflict, but to appease their benefactors. For Arab dictatorships like Egypt and Jordan, the motivation to end their formal conflict with Israel was billions in financial support from the United States, Israel's protector.
On its face, you can call that a government bribe. The peace accords between Israel and the two cowardly Arab nations, Egypt and Jordan, did nothing to bring peace to the region. It only solidified Israel's extremist goals and set the region on a course of continued violence.
Rabin was the only one who agreed to recognize the historic sacrifices of the Palestinian people, Christians and Muslims who lost their lands and homes when Israel was formed. No Egyptians or Jordanians lost lands and homes, only Palestinians.

Rabin's rise redefined the Egyptian and Jordanian concessions into agreements that would support regional peace. But when Rabin was murdered, instigated by Netanyahu's inciting rhetoric of hatred, conflict and racism, the peace accords between Israel and Egypt and Jordan were reduced to farcical submissions of Arab justice to Israel arrogance and racial superiority.
Israel is a "Jewish State" that applies a double standard of citizenship distinguishing between Jews and non-Jews. It was one Arafat would have accepted had Israel fulfilled its promises made in the Oslo Peace accords and the Camp David Accords.
Netanyahu's first act was to reverse the promises made in the Declaration of Principles of Peace signed by Rabin and Arafat to begin the process of achieving peace and Palestinian independence by 1999.
Today, Netanyahu reigns over a government of violent evil. His policies are emboldened by the cowardly tyrants in Cairo and Amman, dictators who use secret police to brutalize, detain, jail and even kill political dissidents who challenge their authoritarian rule.
Jordan is the embodiment of the Big Brother state envisioned by George Orwell, but it is a Big Brother who wears a Western Smile along with his Western attire and Western controlled policies.
Assassinated Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Right across the Jordan River, Netanyahu and his administration are planning to destroy the Al-Aqsa Mosque, one of the Holiest Sites in Islam. Although Netanyahu denies any such plans, his denial is the modus operandi of his government deceit.
The truth was spilled by his handpicked deputy, Tzipi Hotovely, who this week said "It is my dream to see the Israeli flag flying there" over the al-Aqsa Mosque.
The statement quickly was hushed up by Netanyahu who feared not the truth, but rather undermining his minions in Jordan and Egypt and the rest of the Arab World which is ravaged by an incendiary religious fanaticism that grew out of Western terrorism over the past century.
ISIS may be the vehicle of radial Islamic terrorists, but it is the child of Western policies.
We know Hotovely is telling the truth when she speaks of one day cleansing the al-Aqsa Mosque and the Haram al Ash Sharif of Muslims (and Christian Arabs, by the way) because her statement is in line with Netanyahu's policies to talk "peace" but to implement occupation.
Under Netanyahu's reign and the reign of his allies, including the hated terrorist Ariel Sharon, Israel doubled the size of the settlements in the lands designated under the Rabin-Arafat peace accords for freedom.
How do you claim to support peace from one side of your mouth while declaring from the other that the land needed for peace will be denied to Christians and Muslims and used only for the expansion of the illegal Jewish-only settlements, settlements that harbor armed terrorists who teach their children to hate non-Jews in their schools?
Twenty years after his assassination, we look back on the beauty of what could have been, and instead see the ugly hateful face of escalating violent conflict and rising extremist hate driven by Netanyahu.

Video: Ladies, don't be afraid to transform your business!
What does it mean to Raise the Right Money from the Right Investors?
I was at a great event last week called Food Funded. Kate Danaher of RSF Social Finance was speaking on a panel and said that she meets too many entrepreneurs who tell her that they have certain goals for their business but they have already raised money from investors in a way that is completely inconsistent with their goals.
A few years ago, I started telling entrepreneurs that they need to raise the Right Money from the Right Investors because I was seeing something similar to what Kate was talking about.
The Right Money means that the type of investment you are offering is designed so that your investors' interests and expectations are aligned with yours. For example, if you offer equity and never plan to pay any dividends, your investors are likely to expect you to sell the business as quickly as possible so they can get paid. If you don't want to be pressured to sell the business before you're ready, you should offer something different!
The Right Investors means that your investors share your goals and values, as well as your vision for the future of your business. They won't pressure you to take things in a direction that doesn't feel right to you.
Unfortunately, there are still far too many entrepreneurs that (usually inadvertently) take on the wrong money from the wrong investors.
If you are thinking about raising money for your business, I would love to talk to you about your strategy. My Women Raising the Right Money from the Right Investors mastermind program summer cohort is starting soon. If you'd like to learn more, click here.

Love Saves the Day Review 2015
November 8, 2018 May 26, 2015 by Jane Anderson
The Bristolian two day event kicked off to a sunny start, bringing in flocks of hipsters from far and wide to Eastville Park. Saturday was a sell-out with queues of up to two hours to get into the festival site and huge lines for both the bar and toilets too. Despite the lack of amenities the curation of the festival was really well done, with all tents hosting an array of sounds for all tastes. With lots of Bristol performers, caterers and exhibitors, Love Saves the day 2015 definitely seemed a joyous celebration of the cool and diverse city.
Established as one of the best and biggest selling electronic acts, Groove Armada was one of the most legendary names to perform at Love Saves the Day this year. The relaxed and chilled vibes of daytime main stage instantly filled into a crowd of avid fans eagerly awaiting the electronic music duo. At the first kick drum the crowd went wild, kicking off the party atmosphere at main stage. Playing samples of 'I see you baby' the duo quickly move on delivering to a sea of raised arms and shoulder riders. Towards the end, the crowds attention began to slant just before teasing us with the legendary party anthem 'Superstylin' then kicking into it in full at the end just in time for sunset.
Cloud 9 presented by Apex proved to be tent for the party atmosphere hosting the likes of Tourist and Gorgon City. Tourist- a Grammy winning artist is certainly grabbing the musics lovers attention and 2015 has been a good year for him. As well as an excellent musician, he proved himself as a phenomenal DJ for Saturday Love Saves the Day. At no point did the crowds attention seem to stray. Gorgon City also provided a high finish to a night for the house/ garage fans.
The London singer/songwriter Jessie Ware, turned out to be a wonderful wind down a predominantly DJ and dance night. With some technical difficulties at the beginning Jessie Ware smoothly brushes it over by greeting the crowd. Her soulful and flawless voice eased us into sways of utter blissful happiness. Right before the end of the set Ware announces to 'slow dance with person you are standing next to' to which we complied singing the heart stopping 'Wildest Moments'. With the stage lights now turned off and heading back through the cold, the atmosphere of sheer satisfaction was upon the crowds face as you could hear passers-by singing Jessie Ware lyrics.
Saturday's sunshine and atmosphere was the perfect way to really kick off the festival season and although the prior weather reports suggested otherwise, Sunday's proceedings started in much the same way. Again, queues for the bars and toilets were a slight annoyance, even though tickets were still available on the door but it was nowhere near as bad as the first day. Perhaps the fewer people seeing the entire festival through were really making the most of the penultimate bank holiday before Christmas!
Giant illuminated signs outside the festival gates informed Sunday's crowd that it was 'party time', and if any of the stages at Love Saves the Day lived up to this promise, it was the 'Shambarber' stage. Tucked away in the corner of the site, sheltered from the wind by the Paradiso tent and a slightly quieter bar ;) – this place was alive with festival spirit. It was a suntrap, with Dirtytalk and Jethro Binns providing the perfect accompaniment of feel-good house tunes making it really difficult to leave.
After a day outside, it was time to get some shade inside the paradise stage – one of the festival's two larger tents. Floating Points' stepped out, accompanied by a familiar face in Kieran Hebden (Four Tet), who must have been getting into the zone for his set later in the night. Floating Points' impressed with yet another feel-good festival set – something he can be relied on. Whilst scatterings of electro-funk and disco took the premise, it was his own record 'Nuits Sonores' which really stood out as being something special.
After this a set by Daniel Avery which was again a lot of fun (although a little tamer than the last time I saw him at Manchester's Soup Kitchen) it was the turn of Four Tet to take to the stage once again. Four Tet is an artist in the true sense of the word and once again he sculpted the perfect set to close the festival for the Paridiso tent's crowd. He threw out tunes from every corner of the world, with samplings of African music seamlessly transitioned into deep electronic soundscapes. He treated our ears to some of his own tracks, with the reaction of the crowd to the haunting 'Angel Echoes' standing out as a highlight to the whole festival.
The time had come to get ready to round off a really memorable weekend and it was down to Harlem's own Azealia Banks to close it out in style. Whilst Miss Bank$ has been known for a number of high profile arguments with other certain celebrities in the past, at love saves the day she let her music (and dancing) do the talking. Donning her sparkly purple jacket and white high tops and joined by her backing dancers, she covered and owned every inch of the stage. Singing and rapping along to songs which ducked and dived between hip-hop and popular dance in style, she brought her A-game from in the opening song of 'Idle Delilah', continuing to impress through to her arguably most famous track in '212'. There was no grand exit from Azealia – a simple 'Thank you Bristol' and she was gone.

The South-London rapper has collaborated with some of the world's biggest stars, and is currently putting the finishing touches to his fifth studio album, the follow-up to 2009's platinum selling Tongue n' Cheek.
Editors are back with a new album this summer. The band have been busy recording tracks for their fourth album in Nashville, and will showcase brand new material alongside classic songs from their double platinum debut The Back Room and two number one follow up albums. Ed from Editors said:
"It is our pleasure to be coming back up to T in the Park this summer, after what seems like an age. Editors have undergone some changes in the last 12 months, but we have come out the other side a more determined band with a bunch of new songs that we think you are going to like. We can't wait to get back amongst it with some special festival crowds, and where could be a better place to do that than T in the Park?"
After selling out a headline Wembley Arena show and stunning T in the Parkers last year with a spell-binding set which proved exactly why his honest and passionate folk/punk has won him so many fans, Frank Turner is heading back to Kinross this summer, telling fans: "I'm very pleased to be heading back north of the border this summer – T in the Park is always great, like all Scottish shows in general."
Frightened Rabbit released their hotly anticipated fourth album Pedestrian Verse earlier this month to widespread critical acclaim, with the record entering the UK album chart at number 9 last week. Adored on their native Scottish soil, the band's frank, poetic lyrics and intense live sets have also won them a massive Stateside following, and they make a triumphant return to T in the Parkthis July.
Jamie Jones and Lee Foss bring their hugely acclaimed Hot Natured collective to make their T in the Park debut at the 20th year celebrations. Their label Hot Creations is one of the most popular outlets for house and techno and their recently launched Paradise nights at Ibiza's top underground club DC10 has helped cement their position as one of the scene's leading outfits. In 2011, Jones earned the coveted title of Number 1 DJ in the world in Resident Advisor's prestigious poll, and Hot Natured's T in the Park set is not to be missed.
T in the Park is delighted to welcome back Labrinth and the feeling is mutual, with the Hackney born superstar saying: "T in the Park is one of my favourite festivals to play. The crowd is always on fire and I KNOW this year is not going to be any different!" Labrinth's debut album Electronic Earth spawned the massive smash hit singles Earthquake featuring Tinie Tempah and Last Time, before he hit the number one spot with Beneath Your Beautiful featuring fellow T in the Park star,Emeli Sandé.
The Lumineers will bring their glorious rustic, heart-on-the-sleeve folk rock to the fields of Kinross for the 20th year of T in the Park. The band's eponymous debut album has won widespread acclaim for its timeless melodies and soul-stirring lyrics. With two prestigious Grammy nominations under their belt, their huge single Ho Hey soared into the UK top ten last year.
Modest Mouse enjoyed massive breakthrough success with their 2004 album Good News For People Who Love Bad News, which included the huge hit Float On, earned the band two Grammy nominations and sold over 1.5 million copies. The Washington group bring their epic indie anthems back to Kinross this July.
After bursting on to the scene with the irresistibly catchy 5 Years Time, Noah and the Whalehave gone from strength to strength. Their third album Last Night On Earth, went on to become one of the 2011's biggest sellers, achieving platinum status and producing the hit singleL.I.F.E.G.O.E.S.O.N. They release its eagerly awaited follow-up Heart of Nowhere this May.
There's a major buzz surrounding indie four-piece Palma Violets right now. Their single Best Of Friends was voted NME's track of 2012, with Step Up for the Cool Cats being named Zane Lowe's Hottest Record. The band featured on the BBC's Sound of 2013 longlist and release their hugely anticipated debut album next week.
Joining this year's glittering line-up are London-based four-piece, Rudimental. The group rocketed to success in 2012 when their single Feel the Love topped the UK singles chart. Since then they've enjoyed continued success with single Not Giving In, and they're sure to go down a storm with the legendary Kinross crowd.
Glasgow's Twin Atlantic won a huge, international fanbase with their 2009 mini-album Vivarium. Its follow-up Free cemented their reputation as one of the biggest bands to emerge from Scotland within recent years, with its title track famously featuring as the soundtrack to the 2012 Red Bull Stratos space jump by Felix Baumgartner. A phenomenal live act, they're sure to receive a warm welcome back to T in the Park from a home crowd.
New York City's hottest art-punk trio Yeah, Yeah, Yeahs are back this April with their hugely anticipated fourth album Mosquito. All three of its predecessors received Grammy nominations, with debut Fever to Tell hailed by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork Media, and NME as one of the finest of the decade. An awesome live act known for their raw, intense live shows, they sent the crowd into a frenzy during their 2009 T in the Park appearance when they invited the East Kilbride Pipe Band to join them on stage for a thrilling performance of Skeletons. Expect yet more fireworks when they make their return to Kinross this July.
T in the Park organisers have also today revealed that the Arcadia Afterburner will be a brand new addition to the site the year. The spectacular mechanical, fire-breathing structure will becomethe place to party late into the night, in the heart of Sunset Strip.
With an international line-up of chart toppers, Grammy winners, pioneering trailblazers, rising stars and Scotland's finest home-grown heroes, the T in the Park 2013 bill is off to a roaring start.
Festival Director Geoff Ellis said: "When 17,000 fans joined us at Strathclyde Park for the inaugural T in the Park in 1994, I don't think anyone could have imagined how the festival would grow and evolve. We are thrilled to be welcoming some of the world's greatest artists to Kinross this July for our 20th edition, with a truly diverse line-up of seminal artists, global stars and the most exciting new breakthrough talent.
"Every year, artists tell us that our audience is like no other and that they love coming to T in the Park to play in front of one of the most passionate and enthusiastic crowds in the world. Earlier this month, T in the Park was named Pollstar's International Music Festival of the Year and I believe we have our fans to thank for this prestigious award. It's the legendary atmosphere that makes this festival special, and we can't wait to celebrate our 20th year with the greatest audience in the world this July."
George Kyle, Head of Sponsorship at Tennent's Lager, said: "What began in 1994 as a founding partnership between Tennent's Lager and T in the Park, has become a hugely successful, long-standing relationship. When T in the Park began, Tennent's and DF Concerts shared an ambition and vision for the festival, and we are thrilled to be part of a world renowned event which attracts the world's finest musical talent. We are exceptionally proud to have been the T in T in the Park since the start and our passion for live music remains strong in the festival's 20th year."

Sziget reveals new names for Arena and A38
November 18, 2018 January 23, 2013 by Summer Festival Guide
The newly confirmed names are mainly related to the line-up of the A38 and Arena venues. Among the acts of the huge Arena tent we can find Boys Noize, who plays fresh and energetic electro with a touch of techno. He is not only an internationally well-known producer and boss of his own label but also considered to be amongst the top 10 DJs by Rolling Stone Magazine.
Nicky Romero is known for his bombastic tracks and outlandish remixes. Even though he has a short but busy carrier, he has performed at the world's leading concert venues and most visited electronic festivals. Now he is preparing for Sziget.
German electronic hip-hop combo Deichkind also accepted the invitation of the organizers. Beloved for crazy and wild live shows including rubbish bag-outfits, trampolines, vodka, and pillow fights among other things, their Sziget gig will surely be an unforgettable one.
Austria's finest Parov Stelar Band – founders of the electro swing genre and one of the most beloved party bands at big festivals – will return to Hungary after their gig at VOLT Festival in the beginning of July. And adding to the party atmosphere of Sziget, Spanish techno icon Oscar Mulero will perform as well. Still considered as the biggest DJ of Spain he always follows current trends with a sense of tradition and innovation.
With its sweeping craziness, the success grimcore band among the youngest electronic music fans, Hadouken, will play at the A38 stage debuting with their new album 'Every Weekend', set to be released this February. The huge A38 tent will also host Belgian rockers Triggerfinger, known for both their traditional rock music of dynamism and tense pace combined with an emotional side. Another A38 stage performer, The Bots, will provide a pure and fresh sound without any artificial substances but an amazing rough background energy coming from their true guitar rock.
Of course the line-up of the Main Stage is also developing. Performing in a late-afternoon slot, Sziget welcomes German giants Die Arzte again. Their music is on the edge of punk and rock with matching satirical lyrics, so surely a great basis to start up a night of fun. Another late afternoon German addition to the line-up of the big venue will be Seeed, the reggae-dancehall formation which is undoubtedly the most well-known representative of their genre in the region.
Last but not least, the organizing team is happy to announce the Sziget debut of Azealia Banks, a young talent from Harlem, performing a daytime gig at the Main Stage. Some of the most important facts about her: at the "BBC Sound of 2012" contest she got the third place and also received the Philip Hall Radar Award at the NME Awards, together with the New Style Icon prize at the Billboards Awards.

Emeli Sandé joins T in the Park 2013 bill
June 10, 2020 December 15, 2012 by Summer Festival Guide
Last week, organisers revealed that a glitteringly diverse array of acts will be heading to Kinross for the 20th year of T in the Park, with headliners Mumford & Sons, Rihanna and The Killers, plus The Script, Two Door Cinema Club, alt-J, Paloma Faith, Jake Bugg, Of Monsters and Men and Azealia Banks offering fans a taste of what's in store over 12th – 14th July.
Emeli Sandé has had a phenomenal year. Having already made a big impression on the charts with her songwriting talent, with the likes of Tinie Tempah (Let Go), Tinchy Stryder (Let It Rain) and Chipmunk (Diamond Rings) releasing her compositions, she unveiled her own debut album Our Version of Events in February to major critical acclaim. A stunning collection of richly melodic, classically powerful, retro-futurist soul-pop gems, it went straight into the UK chart at Number 1 and has become the biggest selling album of the year – and the only album to top 1 million UK sales in 2012. Now certified as four-times Platinum, Our Version Of Events has spent 43 weeks in the Top 10, a feat not achieved since the Spice Girls' debut in 2006. Emeli has had 2 Number 1 singles, with Professor Green (Read All About It) and Labrinth (Beneath Your Beautiful) and has written tracks on recent albums by Rihanna and Alicia Keys. Jay-Z said of the superstar "Emeli has a unique sound and she is going to be a big deal".
A mesmerising performer, Sandé wowed a global audience of billions with her showstopping performances at the London 2012 Olympics Opening and Closing Ceremonies, and has been honoured with a slew of prestigious accolades, including the Critics' Choice Award at the Brit Awards, three MOBOs, Harper's Bazaar's Musician of the Year title and Q's award for Best Solo Artist. Emeli's next single Clown will be released on 4th February 2013. Watch the video here: http://smarturl.it/Clown
Emeli captivated the 85,000-strong daily crowd at T in the Park this July with a stunning Main Stage set. Emeli said today: "Playing at T in the Park was something I always dreamed of and performing on the Main Stage this year was a great experience and a huge highlight of 2012 for me. To be invited back again for the 20th Anniversary is a real honour and I can't wait to come and celebrate with everyone."

Gil Asakawa's Nikkei View | Discussion of race in America is black and white — even among journalists
post-template-default,single,single-post,postid-995,single-format-standard,qode-quick-links-1.0,ajax_fade,page_not_loaded,,qode-title-hidden,qode-theme-ver-11.0,qode-theme-bridge,wpb-js-composer js-comp-ver-5.1.1,vc_responsive
14 Jan Discussion of race in America is black and white — even among journalists
I missed this column by Howard Kurtz the other day in the Washington Post: "Little Diversity at White House."
The first part of the column is about the lack of journalists of color in the White House Press Corps, and focuses on TV and newspaper reporters assigned to cover the presidential beat. It's an important topic, but it saddens me that as usual, the dialogue about race in America is all about black and white. No Hispanics, no Asians, no Native Americans — the spectrum that's included in the mission of Unity, the uber-organization of Journalists of Color, which just last summer was graced at its convention by a visit by then-candidate Barack Obama.
I understand the point is that we now have a black president and there could be more black reporters covering the White House.
That's fine for the members of the National Association of Black Journalists, who are probably happy to have gotten their perspective in with Kurtz. But Kurtz dances around the topic of other minorities, hinting at a broader color spectrum but never taking the time to call and quote someone from the Asian American Journalists Association or National Association of Hispanic Journalists or the Native American Journalists Association.
Kurtz's column has this near the lede:
"The numbers dropped not because of a lack of minority correspondents, but because of the ownership of many papers and networks, at a time when diversity is very important," says Ryan, who reports for American Urban Radio Networks. "Imagine you're president, at the lectern, looking out at those faces — is this a representation of America?"
But doesn't follow through on the broader topic of "minority correspondents," "diversity" and "is this a representation of America." The next paragraph drills right down to the issue of African Americans in the media:
Eight days before Barack Obama is sworn in, the relative paucity of black journalists at the White House is striking. A mostly white press corps at 1600 Pennsylvania would be cause for concern no matter what the color of the Oval Office occupant. But the advent of the Obama administration seems to underscore that racial progress has been uneven in a business that chronicles that very subject.
While there are some exceptions, most major news outlets that regularly chronicle the White House do not have a minority reporter on this, Washington's most visible beat.
The opportunity to write a more inclusive column item was there, and Kurtz let it slip away because it was more important to make the point about the black President and white press corps. The dialogue remains as limited as it's ever been.
Look at the headline. "Diversity" is more than just black and white, folks. There's an awful lot of gray area being ignored.
We now have a president who was backed by an enormous swell of both Hispanic and Asian American support. Where's the coverage?
Additions Jan 15: A Boston Globe commentary by Jeff Jacoby, "Why should a journalist's race matter?," says Kurtz's column is misguided because the White House press corps doesn't need more black journos, just better journos:
The plain if unfashionable truth is that the White House press corps, and journalism generally, don't need more black reporters. They don't need more white reporters, either. Journalism needs good reporters, and good reporting isn't a function of race.
And the New York Times today has a story about on "interracial anxiety" and how Obama's election has opened up discussions about race in America… but focuses only on black and white. Where are the Asians? Hispanics? Native Americans? It's distressing to be marginalized to the point of invisibility by the nation's news source of record.
Cross-racial discussion about the topic of race seems to have become more common, and somewhat less fraught, with the rise of Mr. Obama, according to historians, psychologists, sociologists and other experts on race relations, as well as a number of blacks and whites interviewed around the country.
If Obama's election is leading to the opening up of dialogue about race, shouldn't that dialogue include the spectrum of colors between lack and white? Asian Americans practically consider him one of our own, because of his upbringing in Hawai'i and his Asian step-family.
And in a related issue, here's a blog post yesterday about Hispanic candidates being left out as potential job candidates for Colorado government positions, a follow-up to a Denver Post editorial.
(Thanks to Leland Rucker for the heads-up about the NYT article, and to Juan Lozano for the link to the blog link about Hispanic job candidates.)

Canadian Tammy Leblanc is the new general manager of the Hilton Barbados resort.
Leblanc, who has more than 20 years experience working in the hospitality industry, was most recently the general manager of the 571-room Hilton Quebec.
Hilton praised Leblanc's success and said she first joined the global hospitality company in 2005 as Director of Business Development at the Hilton Montreal Airport.
Buhbados + Barbados = 1 step forward divided by 20 steps backward.
We do we even bother to educate our people if we are not considered qualified for jobs like these?
Madam Prime Minister, I do not understand this appointment.
The people of Barbados are watching. This is a serious blunder on your part Madam Prime Minister.
Maybe there are not any Bajans qualified to run a mega establishment, and if that is the case bring in someone who can. It is a business not a charity. Just saying.
How many times i've been treated like crap by my own so call bajan black sisters in similar positions. You'll get no complaints from me now.
@Barola – Don't come here with foolishness about qualifications when you don't know didly squat.
This woman's qualification is a Diploma in Travel Tourism.
It is noted that she speaks French and managed Hilton Hotels in Canada but come on, give me a break.
I can name 10 (ten)Barbadians off the top of my head who are way more qualified than this woman's for this job.
Ossie Moore : Just saying BAROLA , Barbados never thought that white bajans were qualified to run drugs and guns either.
Borola, lets test you hypothesis. If there are no Bajans in Barbados who can run the little Hilton, I can guarantee you that are Bajans in the diaspora the run mega institutions. and could fill the role.
The problem is if you remember we gave the management of the hotel to the Hilton group when we rebuilt the hotel, hence we are allowed to use the name on the property. They as a result under their contract are within there rights to place management there as they deem fit. If you recall another hotel who were given considerable benefits also brought in a foreign manager to look after their investment. It's not that we don't have qualified people here it's about protecting investment and brand sadly.
@ John – I understand what you are saying but this Government was given a mandate by the people of Barbados to do things differently and it is well within their power to ensure that on the shores of Barbados, qualified Barbadians are given priority when it comes to jobs.
If there are no qualified Barbadians, then by all means, go ahead and allow a Non-Barbadian to hold the position.
Donald I agree with what you are saying but I think the only way around this in the future would be for this to occur where government owned assets are involved. A clause will have to be included in all future contracts of sale and management that states a foreign manager will be permitted for an agreed period, with the understanding that he will be replaced with a Barbadian at the end of that period. It would then be left to the incoming company or investor to decide if they were willing to proceed under this condition.
@ STRAIGHT TALK – Don't think anyone is going to cuss you because you are not saying anything that we do not know.
You are describing the deadweight lazy Barbadians, the ones I am always pontificating about. Those are not the type of people we want in these positions.
There are well qualified hardworking Barbadians around, people with integrity with the skills and ability to manage this Hilton Hotel.
This is the type of Barbadian we are advocating for these type of positions in Barbados.
If there was no Bajans qualified nor suited to do this job, then I have no problem with this.
@ KEVIN – You are saying what everyone else is saying.
The point is, there are Bajans who are qualified "to do this job" and it should not have gone to a Non-Barbadian on the shores of Barbados.
