S.I. No. 145 of 1964.
THE PIGS AND BACON ACTS, 1935 TO 1961 (PIGS AND BACON COMMISSION) GRADING (NO. 4) ORDER, 1964.
WHEREAS Section 62 (1) of the Pigs and Bacon Act, 1937 (No. 23 of 1937) provides that the Board may whenever and so often as it thinks fit, by Order require any Licensee who purchases any pig or carcase of a pig, to make, sign and deliver to the Vendor a Certificate containing the names and addresses of the Vendor and the Purchaser and such particulars in relation to such pig or carcase as may be specified in such Order :
AND WHEREAS by virtue of sub-section (1) of Section 22 of the Act of 1939 (No. 35 of 1939), the several powers and duties under the Acts of 1935 and 1937 which were formerly exercised or performed or capable of being exercised or performed by the Bacon Marketing Board and the Pigs Marketing Board respectively have been transferred to and are now vested in the Pigs and Bacon Commission.
NOW THEREFORE the Pigs and Bacon Commission (hereinafter referred to as the Commission), in exercise of the powers vested in it under the said Sections hereby orders as follows :—
1. This Order may be cited as The Pigs and Bacon Acts, 1935 to 1961 (Pigs and Bacon Commission) Grading (No. 4) Order, 1964.
2. Every Licensee shall at the time of payment for a pig sign and deliver to the Vendor a Certificate in the form of a Sale Note (or Pig Ticket) which shall contain full particulars of the transaction. The Certificate shall be in the form in the Second Schedule hereto and full and correct particulars as to every carcase referred to in the said Certificate shall be inserted in the appropriate column and under the appropriate heading. Every such Certificate shall be numbered and shall specify the name and address of the Licensee issuing same and of the Vendor and shall specify the date on which it is issued to the Vendor and shall be signed by the Licensee or some person authorised in that behalf by the Licensee. The Licensee shall keep a copy (or duplicate) of every such Certificate and such copies shall be kept by the Licenseeso far as possible in numerical order in accordance with the number on the Certificate. The Commission may approve the use of a Certificate in a different form provided such form gives the Vendor in reference to the carcases to which such Certificate relates all the information contained in the form in the Second Schedule hereto, but the alternative form shall not be used unless and until the consent of the Commission has been obtained in writing to the use of such alternative form.
3. For the purposes of such Certificate and for the purpose of any Order that may hereafter be made by the Commission the carcases of pigs purchased shall be divided into three main classes, viz : Bacon Pigs, Porkers and Other Pigs.
"Bacon Pigs" shall include (a) carcases for use in the production of bacon and (b) carcases (other than carcases of sows, boars, rig pigs or stag pigs) from which the backbone has been removed whether or not such carcases are used for the production of bacon and whether or not all or any part of any such carcase is subsequently found and certified under Section 58 of the Pigs and Bacon Act, 1935 , to be unfit for human consumption. The carcases for use in the production of pork shall be classified as "Porkers". The carcases of Sows, Boars, Rig Pigs and Stag Pigs shall be classified as "Other Pigs" and shall not be classified as Porkers or Bacon Pigs. Bacon Pigs shall be further sub-divided into classes depending upon the weight and length of the carcase as indicated in the form of Certificate in the Second Schedule hereto.
All entries made in the Certificate shall be in accordance with the Classification specified above.

(c) Particulars of graded carcases shall be entered in the Certificate in the column and under the heading appropriate to the weight, length and grade of the carcase.
(d) In the case of carcases weighing not less than 1 cwt. 0 qr. 15 lb. and not more than 1 cwt. 2 qr. 0 lb. (dead weight) the Grades "A Special", "A", "B", "C" and "X" shall rank in priority in that order and in the case of carcases weighing more than 1 cwt. 2 qr. 0 lb. and not more than 1 cwt. 2 qr. 7 lb.

Q: Why am I not able to catch Pokémon abroad? I originally live in India but currently I'm visiting Bangkok and though I did find some new Pokémons every time I get them in the Pokeball, they get out in the first try and run away. Neither am I able to get stuff from the poke stops. Will someone please tell me what is going on?

A: The issue you have encountered is called as Soft ban. You will not be able to catch pokemon neither be able to get items from pokestops. It happens if you travel long distance in short amount of time , it is included to prevent Pokemon sniping and GPS spoofing. Soft- Ban usually last for 1-3 days or may last up to 1 week depending on distance. So wait for some days you will be fine and don't use any hacks (GPS spoofs) to prevent it.

The Ramones were an American rock band that formed in the New York City neighborhood of Forest Hills, Queens, in 1974. Despite achieving only limited commercial success, the band was a major influence on the punk rock movement in both the United States and, perhaps to a greater extent, in the United Kingdom.
All of the band members adopted pseudonyms ending with the surname "Ramone", although none of them were related. They performed 2,263 concerts, touring virtually nonstop for 22 years.[1] In 1996, after a tour with the Lollapalooza music festival, the band played a farewell concert and disbanded.[2] Only a little more than eight years after the breakup, all three of the band's founding members—lead singer (and, at the time of founding, drummer) Joey Ramone, guitarist Johnny Ramone, and bassist Dee Dee Ramone—had died.[3][4][5]
Their only record with enough U.S. sales to be certified gold was the compilation album Ramones Mania.[6] However, recognition of the band's importance built over the years, and they are now mentioned in many assessments of all-time great rock music, such as the Rolling Stone list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time[7] and VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock.[8] In 2002, the Ramones were ranked the second-greatest band of all time by Spin magazine, trailing only the Beatles.[9] On March 18, 2002, the Ramones—the three founders and drummers Tommy and Marky Ramone—were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.[1][10] In 2011, the group was awarded a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.[11][12]

History[edit] Edit
Formation: 1974–75[edit] Edit
[1][2]Forest Hills High School, attended by the four original members of the Ramones
The original members of the band met in and around the middle-class neighborhood of Forest Hills in the New York City borough of Queens. John Cummings and Thomas Erdelyihad both been in a high-school garage band from 1966 to 1967 known as the Tangerine Puppets.[13] They became friends with Douglas Colvin, who had recently moved to the area from Germany,[14] and Jeffrey Hyman, who was the initial lead singer of the glam rock band Sniper, founded in 1972.[15][16]
The Ramones began taking shape in early 1974, when Cummings and Colvin invited Hyman to join them in a band. The initial lineup featured Colvin on lead vocals and rhythm guitar, Cummings on lead guitar, and Hyman on drums. Colvin, who soon switched from rhythm guitar to bass, was the first to adopt the name "Ramone", calling himself Dee Dee Ramone. He was inspired by Paul McCartney's use of the pseudonym Paul Ramon during his Silver Beatles days.[17][18] Dee Dee convinced the other members to take on the name and came up with the idea of calling the band the Ramones.[19] Hyman and Cummings became Joey and Johnny Ramone.[19]
A friend of the band, Monte A. Melnick (later their tour manager), helped to arrange rehearsal time for them at Manhattan's Performance Studios, where he worked. Johnny's former bandmate Erdelyi was set to become their manager. Soon after the band was formed, Dee Dee realized that he could not sing and play his bass guitar simultaneously; with Erdelyi's encouragement, Joey became the band's new lead singer.[17] Dee Dee would continue, however, to count off each song's tempo with his signature rapid-fire shout of "1-2-3-4!" Joey soon similarly realized that he could not sing and play drums simultaneously and left the position of drummer. While auditioning prospective replacements, Erdelyi would often take to the drums and demonstrate how to play the songs. It became apparent that he was able to perform the group's music better than anyone else, and he joined the band as Tommy Ramone.[20]
The Ramones played before an audience for the first time on March 30, 1974, at Performance Studios.[1] The songs they played were very fast and very short; most clocked in at under two minutes. Around this time, a new music scene was emerging in New York centered around two clubs in downtown Manhattan—Max's Kansas City and, more famously,CBGB (usually referred to as CBGB's). The Ramones made their CBGB debut on August 16. Legs McNeil, who cofounded Punk magazine the following year, later described the impact of that performance: "They were all wearing these black leather jackets. And they counted off this song...and it was just this wall of noise.... They looked so striking. These guys were not hippies. This was something completely new."[21]
The band swiftly became regulars at the club, playing there seventy-four times by the end of the year. After garnering considerable attention for their performances—which averaged about seventeen minutes from beginning to end—the group was signed to a recording contract in late 1975 by Seymour Stein of Sire Records. Stein's wife, Linda Stein, had seen the band play at CBGB; she would later co-manage them along with Danny Fields.[22] By this time, the Ramones were recognized as leaders of the new scene that was increasingly being referred to as "punk".[23][24] The group's unusual frontman had a lot to do with their impact. As Dee Dee explained, "All the other singers [in New York] were copying David Johansen [of the New York Dolls], who was copying Mick Jagger.... But Joey was unique, totally unique."[25]
Spearheading punk: 1976–77[edit] Edit
"Blitzkrieg Bop"
MENU 0:00 The title of the Ramones' debut single, writes critic Steve Huey, is a "nice encapsulation of the group's aesthetic: simple, bouncy, pre-British Invasion rock & roll played at top volume and twice the speed. Blaring the same three chords for most of its duration, the song was rock at its most basic".[26]----

[3][4]April 1976 issue of Punk. The cover image of Joey, by Punkcofounder John Holmstrom, was inspired by the work of comic book artist Will Eisner.[27]Holmstrom would go on to do album art for Rocket to Russiaand Road to Ruin.[28]
The Ramones recorded their debut album, Ramones, in April 1976. Of the fourteen songs on the album, the longest, "I Don't Wanna Go Down to the Basement", barely surpassed two-and-a-half minutes. While the songwriting credits were shared by the entire band, Dee Dee was the primary writer.Ramones was produced by Sire's Craig Leon, with Tommy as associate producer, on an extremely low budget of about $6,400 and released in April.[29] The now iconic front cover photograph of the band was taken by Roberta Bayley, a photographer for Punk magazine.[30] Punk, which was largely responsible for codifying the term for the scene emerging around CBGB, ran a cover story on the Ramones in its third issue, the same month as the record's release.[27][31]
The Ramones' debut LP was greeted by rock critics with glowing reviews. The Village Voice's Robert Christgau wrote, "I love this record—love it—even though I know these boys flirt with images of brutality (Nazi especially).... For me, it blows everything else off the radio".[32] In Rolling Stone, Paul Nelsondescribed it as "constructed almost entirely of rhythm tracks of an exhilarating intensity rock & roll has not experienced since its earliest days." Characterizing the band as "authentic American primitives whose work has to be heard to be understood", he declared, "It is time popular music followed the other arts in honoring its primitives."[33] Newsday's Wayne Robbins simply anointed the Ramones as "the best young rock 'n' roll band in the known universe."[34]
However, despite Sire's high hopes for it,[35] Ramones was not a commercial success, reaching only number 111 on the Billboard album chart. The two singles issued from the album, "Blitzkrieg Bop" and "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", failed to chart at all. At the band's first major performance outside of New York, a June date in Youngstown, Ohio, approximately ten people showed up.[36] It wasn't until they made a brief tour of England that they began to see the fruits of their labor; a performance at the Roundhouse in London on July 4, 1976 (second-billed to the Flamin' Groovies), organized by Linda Stein, was a resounding success.[37] Their Roundhouse appearance and a club date the following night—where the band met members of the Sex Pistols and the Clash—helped galvanize the burgeoning UK punk rock scene.[3] The Flamin' Groovies/Ramones double bill was successfully reprised at the Roxy in Los Angeles the following month, fueling the punk scene there as well. The Ramones were becoming an increasingly popular live act—a Toronto performance in September energized yet another growing punk scene.[38]
Their next two albums, Leave Home and Rocket to Russia, were released in 1977. Both were coproduced by Tommy and Tony Bongiovi, the second cousin of Jon Bon Jovi.[39]Leave Home met with even less chart success than Ramones, though it did include "Pinhead", which became one of the band's signature songs with its chanted refrain of "Gabba gabba hey!" Leave Home also included a fast-paced cover of the oldie "California Sun," written by Henry Glover & Morris Levy, and originally recorded by Joe Jones.[40] Rocket to Russia was the band's highest-charting album to date, reaching number 49 on the Billboard 200.[41] In Rolling Stone, critic Dave Marsh called it "the best American rock & roll of the year".[42] The album also featured the first Ramones single to enter the Billboard charts (albeit only as high as number 81): "Sheena Is a Punk Rocker". The follow-up single, "Rockaway Beach", reached number 66—the highest any Ramones single would ever reach in America. On December 31, 1977, the Ramones recorded It's Alive, a live concert double album, at the Rainbow Theatre, London, which was released in April 1979 (the title is a reference to the 1974 horror film of the same name).[43]
Recordings turn more pop: 1978–83[edit] Edit
Tommy, tired of touring, left the band in early 1978. He continued as the Ramones' record producer under his birth name of Erdelyi. His position as drummer was filled by Marc Bell, who had been a member of the early 1970s hard rock band Dust, Wayne County and the Backstreet Boys,[44] and the pioneering punk group Richard Hell & the Voidoids.[45]Bell became Marky Ramone. Later that year, the band released their fourth studio album, and first with Marky, Road to Ruin. The album, co-produced by Tommy with Ed Stasium, included some new sounds such as acoustic guitar, several ballads, and the band's first two recorded songs longer than three minutes. It failed to reach the Billboard Top 100. However, "I Wanna Be Sedated", which appeared both on the album and as a single, would become one of the band's best-known songs.[46] The artwork on the album's cover was done by Punk magazine cofounder John Holmstrom.[47]
In 1979, the band played at McKenna Hall on the Claremont Men's College campus in Claremont, California. During a memorable on-air interview with KSPC disc jockey Hugh Bonair, the band members mocked and smashed their host's disco ashtrays and clocks, which the DJ had hand crafted from recycled disco albums.
After the band's movie debut in Roger Corman's Rock 'n' Roll High School (1979), renowned producer Phil Spector became interested in the Ramones and produced their 1980 album End of the Century. During the recording sessions in Los Angeles, Spector held Dee Dee at gunpoint, forcing him to repeatedly play a riff.[48] Though it was to be the highest-charting album in the band's history—reaching number 44 in the United States and number 14 in Great Britain—Johnny made clear that he favored the band's more aggressive punk material: "End of the Century was just watered-down Ramones. It's not the real Ramones."[49]This stance was also conveyed by the title and track selection of the compilation album Johnny later oversaw, Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits. Despite these reservations, Johnny did concede that some of Spector's work with the band had merit, saying "It really worked when he got to a slower song like 'Danny Says'—the production really worked tremendously. 'Rock 'N' Roll Radio' is really good. For the harder stuff, it didn't work as well."[50] The syrupy, string-laden Ronettes cover "Baby, I Love You" released as a single, became the band's biggest hit in Great Britain, reaching number 8 on the charts.[51]
[5][6]Joey and Dee Dee Ramone in concert, 1983
Pleasant Dreams, the band's sixth album, was released in 1981. It continued the trend established by End of the Century, taking the band further from the raw punk sound of its early records. As described by Trouser Press, the album, produced by Graham Gouldman of UK pop act 10cc, moved the Ramones "away from their pioneering minimalism into heavy metal territory".[52] Johnny would contend in retrospect that this direction was a record company decision, a continued futile attempt to get airplay on American radio.[53][50] While Pleasant Dreams reached number 58 on the U.S. chart, its two singles failed to register at all.[54]
Subterranean Jungle, produced by Ritchie Cordell and Glen Kolotkin, was released in 1983.[55] According to Trouser Press, it brought the band "back to where they once belonged: junky '60s pop adjusted for current tastes", which among other things meant "easing off the breakneck rhythm that was once Ramones dogma."[52] Billy Rogers, who had performed with Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers, played drums on the album's second single, a cover of the Chambers Brothers' "Time Has Come Today".[56] Subterranean Jungle peaked at number 83 in the United States—it would be the last album by the band to crack the Billboard Top 100.[57][58]
Shuffling members: 1983–89[edit] Edit
After the release of Subterranean Jungle, Marky was fired from the band due to his alcoholism.[59] He was replaced by Richard Reinhardt, who adopted the name Richie Ramone. Joey Ramone remarked that "[Richie] saved the band as far as I'm concerned. He's the greatest thing to happen to the Ramones. He put the spirit back in the band."[60] Richie is notable as the only Ramones drummer to sing lead vocals on Ramones songs, like, "(You) Can't Say Anything Nice" as well as the unreleased "Elevator Operator." Richie's vocal contributions were appreciated by Joey Ramone: "Richie's very talented and he's very diverse...He really strengthened the band a hundred percent because he sings backing tracks, he sings lead, and he sings with Dee Dee's stuff. In the past, it was always just me singing for the most part."[61] Richie was also the only drummer to be the sole composer of Ramones songs including their hit "Somebody Put Something in My Drink" as well as "Smash You," "Humankind," "I'm Not Jesus," "I Know Better Now" and "(You) Can't Say Anything Nice". Joey Ramone supported Richie's songwriting contributions: "I encouraged Richie to write songs. I figured it would make him feel more a part of the group, because we never let anybody else write our songs."[62][63] Richie's composition, "Somebody Put Something in My Drink," remained a staple in the Ramones set list until their last show in 1996 and was included in the album Loud, Fast Ramones: Their Toughest Hits which is composed of songs hand picked by Johnny Ramone as some of the Ramones' best works.[64][65] The 8-song bonus disc, The Ramones Smash You: Live '85, is also named after Richie's song "Smash You".
The first album the Ramones recorded with Richie was Too Tough to Die in 1984, with Tommy Erdelyi and Ed Stasium returning as producers. The album marked a shift to something like the band's original sound. In the description of Allmusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine, the "rhythms are back up to jackhammer speed and the songs are down to short, terse statements."[66]
"Bonzo Goes To Bitburg"
MENU 0:00 Over a "power-pop beat and melodic hooks galore", writes David Corn, Joey "snarls" the beginning of the refrain—"Bonzo goes to Bitburg/then goes out for a cup of tea/As I watched it on TV/somehow it really bothered me".[67] In contrast, Salon.com arts editor Bill Wyman writes of "Joey's pained, pleading voice".[68]----
The band's main release of 1985 was the British single "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg"; though it was available in the United States only as an import, it was played widely on American college radio.[69] The song was written, primarily by Joey, in protest of Ronald Reagan's visit to a German military cemetery where SSmembers were buried.[70] Retitled "My Brain Is Hanging Upside Down (Bonzo Goes to Bitburg)", the song appeared on the band's ninth studio album, Animal Boy (1986). Produced by Jean Beauvoir, formerly a member of the Plasmatics, the album was characterized by a Rolling Stone reviewer as "nonstop primal fuzz pop".[71] Making it his pick for "album of the week", New York Times critic Jon Pareles wrote that the Ramones "speak up for outcasts and disturbed individuals".[72]
The following year the band recorded their last album with Richie, Halfway to Sanity, produced by Daniel Rey. Richie left in August 1987, upset that after being in the band for four years, the other members would still not give him a share of the money they made selling T-shirts.[73] Richie was replaced byClem Burke from Blondie, which was disbanded at the time. According to Johnny, the performances with Burke—who adopted the name Elvis Ramone—were a disaster. He was fired after two performances because his drumming could not keep up with the rest of the band.[73] Marky, now clean and sober, returned.[19]
Dee Dee left the band as they began recording their eleventh studio album, 1989's Brain Drain; the bass parts were done by Daniel Rey and the Dictators' Andy Shernoff; co-produced by Beauvoir, Rey, and Bill Laswell.[74] He was replaced by Christopher Joseph Ward (C.J. Ramone), who performed with the band until they disbanded. Dee Dee initially pursued a brief career as a rapper under the name Dee Dee King. He quickly returned to punk rock and formed several bands, in much the same vein as the Ramones, for whom he also continued to write songs.[74]
Final years: 1990–96[edit] Edit
After more than a decade and a half at Sire Records, the Ramones moved to a new label, Radioactive Records. Their first album for the label was 1992's Mondo Bizarro, which reunited them with producer Ed Stasium.[75] Acid Eaters, consisting entirely of cover songs, came out the following year.[76] In 1993 the Ramones were featured in the animated television series The Simpsons, providing music and voices for animated versions of themselves in the episode "Rosebud".[77]
In 1995, the Ramones released ¡Adios Amigos!, their fourteenth studio album, and announced that they planned to disband if it was not successful.[78][79] Its sales were unremarkable, garnering it just two weeks on the lower end of the Billboard chart.[80] The band spent late 1995 on what was promoted as a farewell tour. However, they accepted an offer to appear in the sixth Lollapalooza festival, which toured around the United States during the following summer.[81] After the Lollapalooza tour's conclusion, the Ramones played their final show on August 6, 1996, at the Palace in Hollywood. A recording of the concert was later released on video and CD as We're Outta Here! In addition to a reappearance by Dee Dee, the show featured several guests including Motörhead's Lemmy, Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder, Soundgarden's Chris Cornell, and Rancid's Tim Armstrong and Lars Frederiksen.[2]
Aftermath and deaths[edit] Edit
[7][8]Marky Ramone at the 2009 premiere of the documentaryBurning Down the House: The Story of CBGB
On July 20, 1999, Dee Dee, Johnny, Joey, Tommy, Marky, and C.J. appeared together at the Virgin Megastore in New York City for an autograph signing. This was the last occasion on which the original four members of the group appeared together. Joey, who had been diagnosed with lymphoma in 1995, died of the illness on April 15, 2001, in New York.[3][82]
In 2002, the Ramones were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which specifically named Dee Dee, Johnny, Joey, Tommy, and Marky. At the ceremony, the surviving inductees spoke on behalf of the band. Tommy spoke first, saying how honored the band felt, but how much it would have meant for Joey. Johnny thanked the band's fans and blessed George W. Bush and his presidency, Dee Dee humorously congratulated and thanked himself, while Marky thanked Tommy for influencing his drum style. Green Dayplayed "Teenage Lobotomy" and "Blitzkrieg Bop" as a tribute, demonstrating the Ramones' continuing influence on later rock musicians. The ceremony was one of Dee Dee's last public appearances; on June 5, 2002, two months later, he was found at his Hollywood home, dead from a heroin overdose.[4]
On November 30, 2003, New York City unveiled a sign designating East 2nd Street at the corner of Bowery as Joey Ramone Place. The singer lived on East 2nd for a time, and the sign is near the former Bowery site of CBGB.[83] The documentary film End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones came out in 2004. Johnny, who had been privately battling prostate cancer, died on September 15, 2004, in Los Angeles, shortly after the film's release.[5] On the same day as Johnny's death, the world's first Ramones Museum opened its doors to the public. Located in Berlin, Germany, the museum features more than 300 items of memorabilia, including a pair of stage-worn jeans from Johnny, a stage-worn glove from Joey, Marky's sneakers, and C.J.'s stage-worn bass strap.[84]
The Ramones were inducted into the Long Island Music Hall of Fame in 2007.[85] That October saw the release of a DVD set containing concert footage of the band: It's Alive 1974-1996 includes 118 songs from 33 performances over the span of the group's career.[86] In February 2011, the group was honored with a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Drummers Tommy, Marky, and Richie attended the ceremony.[11][12] Marky declared, "This is amazing. I never expected this. I'm sure Johnny, Joey, and Dee Dee would never have expected this."[11] Richie noted that it was the first time ever that all three drummers were under the same roof, and mused that he couldn't "help thinking that [Joey] is watching us right now with a little smile on his face behind his rose-colored glasses."[12]
Conflicts between members[edit] Edit
Tensions between Joey and Johnny colored much of the Ramones' career. The pair were politically antagonistic, Joey being a liberal and Johnny a conservative. Their personalities also clashed: Johnny, who spent two years in military school, lived by a code of self-discipline,[87] while Joey struggled with obsessive-compulsive disorder.[88] Johnny, who was fascinated by the Nazis and Adolf Hitler, would sometimes torment Joey (who was Jewish) with anti-Semitic remarks.[89] In the early 1980s, Johnny "stole" Joey's girlfriend Linda, whom he later married. As a consequence, despite performing together for years afterward, Joey and Johnny stopped speaking to each other.[5] Johnny did not call Joey before the latter's death in 2001, but said in the documentary End of the Century that he was depressed for "the whole week" after the singer died.[73]
Aside from this central conflict, Dee Dee's bipolar disorder and repeated relapses into drug addiction also caused significant strains.[90] Tommy left the band partly in reaction to being "physically threatened by Johnny, treated with contempt by Dee Dee, and all but ignored by Joey".[89] As new members joined, payment methods and image representation became matters of serious dispute.[91] In 1997, Marky and Joey got into a fight about their respective drinking habits on the Howard Stern radio show.[92]
Style[edit] Edit
Musical style[edit] Edit
"Sheena Is a Punk Rocker"
MENU 0:00 Cultural critic Anders Johannsson uses this 1977 single as an example of how most Ramones songs "work in the same way: the same hammering on the drums, the same distorted guitars, the same howling of an extremely short text, in a simple tune with an even simpler chorus".[93]----
The Ramones' loud, fast, straightforward musical style was influenced by pop music that the band members grew up listening to in the 1950s and 1960s, including classic rock groups such as the Beach Boys, the Beatles, the Kinks, Led Zeppelin and the Rolling Stones; bubblegum acts like the 1910 Fruitgum Company and Ohio Express; and girl groups such as the Ronettes and the Shangri-Las. They also drew on the harder rock sound of the Stooges and theNew York Dolls, both now known as seminal protopunk bands.[94] The Ramones' style was in part a reaction against the heavily produced, often bombastic music that dominated the pop charts in the 1970s. "We decided to start our own group because we were bored with everything we heard," Joey once explained. "In 1974 everything was tenth-generation Elton John, or overproduced, or just junk. Everything was long jams, long guitar solos.... We missed music like it used to be."[95] Ira Robbins and Scott Isler of Trouser Press describe the result:
With just four chords and one manic tempo, New York's Ramones blasted open the clogged arteries of mid-'70s rock, reanimating the music. Their genius was to recapture the short/simple aesthetic from which pop had strayed, adding a caustic sense of trash-culture humor and minimalist rhythm guitar sound.[96]
As leaders in the punk rock scene, the Ramones' music has usually been identified with that label,[53] while some have defined their characteristic style more specifically as pop punk[97] and others as power pop.[98] In the 1980s, the band sometimes veered into hardcore punk territory, as can be heard on Too Tough to Die.[96]
On stage, the band adopted a focused approach directly intended to increase the audience's concert experience. Johnny's instructions to C.J. when preparing for his first live performances with the group were to play facing the audience, to stand with the bass slung low between spread legs, and to walk forward to the front of stage at the same time as he did. Johnny was not a fan of guitarists who performed facing their drummer, amplifier, or other band members.[99]
Visual imagery[edit] Edit
The Ramones' art and visual imagery complemented the themes of their music and performance. The band members adopted a uniform look of long hair, leather jackets, T-shirts, torn jeans, and sneakers. This fashion emphasized minimalism, which was a powerful influence on the New York punk scene of the 1970s and reflected the band's short, simple songs.[100] Tommy Ramone recalled that, both musically and visually, "we were influenced by comic books, movies, the Andy Warhol scene, and avant-garde films. I was a big Mad Magazine fan myself."[100]
[9][10]The band's logo, based on the Seal of the President of the United States
The band's logo was created by New York City artist Arturo Vega, a longtime friend who had allowed Joey and Dee Dee to move into his loft.[101] Vega produced the band's T-shirts, their main source of income, basing most of the images on a black-and-white self-portrait photograph he had taken of his American bald eagle belt buckle which had appeared on the back sleeve of the Ramones' first album.[102] He was inspired to create the band's logo after a trip to Washington, D.C.:
I saw them as the ultimate all-American band. To me, they reflected the American character in general—an almost childish innocent aggression.... I thought, 'The Great Seal of the President of the United States' would be perfect for the Ramones, with the eagle holding arrows—to symbolize strength and the aggression that would be used against whomever dares to attack us—and an olive branch, offered to those who want to be friendly. But we decided to change it a little bit. Instead of the olive branch, we had an apple tree branch, since the Ramones were American as apple pie. And since Johnny was such a baseball fanatic, we had the eagle hold a baseball bat instead of the [Great Seal]'s arrows.[102]
The scroll in the eagle's beak originally read "Look out below", but this was soon changed to "Hey ho let's go" after the opening lyrics of the band's first single, "Blitzkrieg Bop". The arrowheads on the shield came from a design on a polyester shirt Vega had bought. The name "Ramones" was spelled out in block capitals above the logo using plastic stick-on letters.[22] Where the presidential emblem read "Seal of the President of the United States" clockwise in the border around the eagle, Vega instead placed the pseudonyms of the four band members: Johnny, Joey, Dee Dee, and Tommy. Over the years the names in the border would change as the band's lineup fluctuated.[103]
Influence[edit] Edit
[11][12]Johnny Ramone in concert, 1977
The Ramones had a broad and lasting influence on the development of popular music. Music historian Jon Savage writes of their debut album that "it remains one of the few records that changed pop forever."[104] As described by Allmusic critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine, "The band's first four albums set the blueprint for punk, especially American punk and hardcore, for the next two decades."[105] Trouser Press's Robbins and Isler similarly write that the Ramones "not only spearheaded the original new wave/punk movement, but also drew the blueprint for subsequent hardcore punk bands".[96] Punk journalist Phil Strongman writes, "In purely musical terms, The Ramones, in attempting to re-create the excitement of pre-Dolby rock, were to cast a huge shadow—they had fused a blueprint for much of the indie future."[23] Writing for Slate in 2001, Douglas Wolkdescribed the Ramones as "easily the most influential group of the last 30 years."[106]
The Ramones' debut album had an outsized effect relative to its modest sales. According to Tony James, a member of several seminal British punk bands, "Everybody went up three gears the day they got that first Ramones album. Punk rock—that rama-lama super fast stuff—is totally down to the Ramones. Bands were just playing in an MC5 groove until then."[107] The Ramones' two July 1976 shows, like their debut album, are seen as having a significant impact on the style of many of the newly formed British punk acts—as one observer put it, "instantly nearly every band speeded up".[108] The Ramones' first British concert, at London's Roundhouse concert hall, was held on July 4, 1976, the United States Bicentennial. The Sex Pistols were playing in Sheffield that evening, supported by the Clash, making their public debut. The next night, members of both bands attended the Ramones' gig at the Dingwall's club. Ramones manager Danny Fields recalls a conversation between Johnny Ramone and Clash bassist Paul Simonon (which he mislocates at the Roundhouse): "Johnny asked him, 'What do you do? Are you in a band?' Paul said, 'Well, we just rehearse. We call ourselves the Clash but we're not good enough.' Johnny said, 'Wait till you see us—we stink, we're lousy, we can't play. Just get out there and do it.'"[109] Another band whose members saw the Ramones perform, the Damned, played their first show two days later. The central fanzine of the early UK punk scene, Sniffin' Glue, was named after the song "Now I Wanna Sniff Some Glue", which appeared on the debut LP.[110]
Ramones concerts and recordings influenced many musicians central to the development of California punk as well, including Greg Ginn of Black Flag,[111] Jello Biafra of theDead Kennedys,[112] Mike Ness of Social Distortion,[113] Brett Gurewitz of Bad Religion,[114] and members of the Descendents.[115] Canada's first major punk scenes—in Toronto and in British Columbia's Victoriaand Vancouver—were also heavily influenced by the Ramones.[38][116] In the late 1970s, many bands emerged with musical styles deeply indebted to the band's. There were the Lurkers from England,[117] the Undertones from Ireland,[118] Teenage Head from Canada,[119] and the Zeros[120] and the Dickies[121] from southern California. The seminal hardcore band Bad Brains took its name from a Ramones song.[122]The Riverdales, made up of former members of Screeching Weasel, have emulated the sound of the Ramones throughout their career.[123] Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong named his son Joey in homage to Joey Ramone, and drummer Tré Cool named his daughter Ramona.[124]
The Ramones also influenced musicians associated with other genres, such as heavy metal. Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has described the importance of Johnny's rapid-fire guitar playing style to his own musical development.[125] Motörhead lead singer Lemmy, a friend of the Ramones since the late 1970s, mixed the band's "Go Home Ann" in 1985. The members of Motörhead later composed the song "R.A.M.O.N.E.S." as a tribute, and Lemmy performed at the final Ramones concert in 1996.[126] In the realm of alternative rock, the song "53rd and 3rd" lent its name to a British indie pop label cofounded by Stephen Pastel of the Scottish band the Pastels. Evan Dando of the Lemonheads,[127] Dave Grohl of Nirvana and Foo Fighters,[110] Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater, Eddie Vedder of Pearl Jam[128] (who introduced the band members at their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction) and the Strokes[129] are among the many alternative rock and metal musicians who have credited the Ramones with inspiring them.[130]
Tribute albums[edit] Edit
In April 2009, Spin writer Mark Prindle observed that the Ramones had to date "inspired a jaw-dropping 48 (at least!) full-length tribute records."[131] The first Ramones tribute album featuring multiple performers was released in 1991: Gabba Gabba Hey: A Tribute to the Ramones includes tracks by such acts as the Flesh Eaters, L7, Mojo Nixon, and Bad Religion.[130] In 2001, Dee Dee made a guest appearance on one track of Ramones Maniacs, a multi-artist cover of the entire Ramones Mania compilation album. The Song Ramones the Same, which came out the following year, includes performances by the Dictators, who were part of the early New York punk scene, and Wayne Kramer, guitarist for the influential protopunk band MC5. We're a Happy Family: A Tribute to Ramones, released in 2003, features performers such as Green Day, Metallica, Kiss, the Offspring, Red Hot Chili Peppers, U2, and Rob Zombie (who also did the album cover artwork).[132]
Punk bands such as Screeching Weasel, the Vindictives, the Queers, the Mr. T Experience, Boris the Sprinkler, Beatnik Termites, Tip Toppers, Jon Cougar Concentration Camp, Shonen Knife and McRackins have recorded cover versions of entire Ramones albums—Ramones, Leave Home, Rocket to Russia, Road to Ruin, End of the Century, Pleasant Dreams, Subterranean Jungle, and (twice) Too Tough to Die, respectively.[131] The Huntingtons' File Under Ramones consists of Ramones covers from across the band's history.[133]
Shonen Knife, an all-woman trio band from Osaka, Japan, was formed in 1982 as a direct result of founder-lead singer-guitarist Naoko Yamano's instant infatuation with the music of the Ramones. In 2012, to observe the band's 30th anniversary, Shonen Knife released "Osaka Ramones", which featured thirteen Ramones songs covered by the band.[134]

The Blazing World (1666)
The Description of a New World, Called The Blazing-World, or known simply as The Blazing World was published in 1666 and created by Margaret Cavendish, Duchess of Newcastle. A second edition was published in 1688 along with Observations upon Experimental Philosophy. The narrative is replete with references to otherworldly characters, including sentient beings that are half-man and half-beast. It is one of the earliest examples of what would eventually become the genre of science fiction, and the only example of such exotic subject matter to have been penned by a woman during the 17th Century. The book is an early example of bildungsroman, tracing the development of a young woman from her adventure as an abducted maiden to her becoming the empress of the Blazing World.
The book is a tapestry of utopian, bildungsroman, romance, adventure, politics, logic, and autobiography. Arguably, the subject matter also includes strong psychological and theological content as the Empress enters into discourse with her subjects on a broad array of topics. The deployment of logic, or lack thereof, is a discursive catalyst as the Empress banters with the half-men. The Blazing World is populated by a heterogenic race of half-human, half-beast creatures that are sentient and live together under a peaceful, cooperative system of government. Eventually, however, the Empress successfully conducts a war against the enemies of her homeland, the Kingdom of Esfi, by deploying the extraordinary talents of her subjects in the Blazing World.
The book's relatively exotic subject matter conjured a paradox for 17th Century scholars, who often expressed views that The Blazing World was an irrelevant work of fancy, but scholarly interest in the works of Cavendish, especially The Blazing World, has been accompanied by high profile references in contemporary popular culture. It is referenced in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen as a paradise. In Un Lun Dun, by China Miéville, it is suggested that two-way travel between the Blazing World and Earth is possible. The Blazing World inspired her husband, William Cavendish, 1st Duke of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, to write a congratulatory sonnet in honor of her accomplishment. Academic interest can be found in the writings of scholars like Marina Leslie, who states that "To take Cavendish's argument about the relationship of fancy and reason seriously requires that we think of The Blazing World less as an escape from the world or a vision of a possible world than as a material engagement with the world that is" (88). Sujata Iyengar explores Cavendish's representation of race as an irrelevant factor in establishing social hierarchy, as illustrated by her deployment of trans-human traits throughout The Blazing World. Other writers, such as Carrie Hintz argue that the preservation of a stable society involves the obliteration of any diversity of ideas, thereby rendering Cavendish's utopia to be doomed to stagnation. Such debates indicate a renewed interest in The Blazing World as a continued source of scholastic investigation across a broad spectrum of topics ranging from Cavendish's proto-feminism to her invention of an early form of science fiction.

Are mixed-race people more attractive?
This paper has received some attention in the media, so it is worthwhile to consider its thesis: that great attractiveness of mixed-race people is due to genetic heterosis.
Facial images were harvested from the social networking website facebook.com. These were collected according to social groups that the people submitting the images belonged to. People who were members of groups making reference to being of mixed race [eg ``mixed race and proud of it''](1) formed a mixed-race group (N . 483). People who were members of groups making reference to groups who were from geographical regions of the UK with minimal ethnic minorities (eg ``Cornish and proud of it'') formed a white group (N . 368). People who were members of groups that made reference to being Black and living in the UK (eg ``Black and brum'') or made reference to coming from parts of Africa (eg ``Gambian and proud'') formed a black group (N . 354).
Twenty white psychology students rated each face on its attractiveness on a 9-point scale (5 being of average attractiveness).
Before we consider the "Why" of the paper's title, it is worthwhile to consider whether the thesis itself "mixed-race people are perceived as more attractive" is supported by the evidence. I can think of several alternative explanations for the evidence:
There is no reason to think that "mixed-race" people represent black-white mixes. In the British context, "mixed-race" may also include white-South Asian or white-East Asian people.
There is no reason to think that white people from less cosmopolitan areas are equally attractive to white people from big cities. It's reasonable to assume that attractive people thrive in regions of high population density, since attractiveness is a social advantage: you will probably find more "hot" models, actors, PR people, waitresses, salesgirls, etc. in London than you will in Cornwall.
There is no reason to think that people of average attractiveness (for their respective races) mate to produce mixed-race offspring. Interracial marriage is not the norm (it occurs at a far lower rating than random mating would predict), thus there appears to be a real psychological impediment to the practice. It is not unreasonable to postulate that people are willing to mate interracially for a higher-than-average member of a different race, with the greater attractiveness serving to overcome this obstacle. In any case, the assumption that random whites and blacks mate to produce interracial offspring is not obvious.
There is no reason to think that people who join mixed-race groups on facebook are good representatives of mixed-race people in general. Non-normative individuals may have a positive, neutral, or negative attitude towards their ancestry, and it is reasonable that "happy" mixed-race people may be more likely to advertise the fact than "non-happy" ones, and that more attractive mixed-race people (representing more harmonious combinations) may be more likely to belong to the first category.
Finally, there is no reason to think that people who are of mixed-race have the same age as non-mixed people. Race mixing is on the rise both due to immigration and to changing societal norms, so there is probably a negative correlation between racial admixture and age. Thus, the finding of this study may be simply an artifact of the higher average age of the unmixed vs. the mixed groups.
Thus, I don't really think there is any reason to seek the "why" of a non-evident fact. But, it is interesting to consider the explanation for the supposed greater attractiveness of mixed-race people: genetic heterosis. The paper really offers no new evidence that heterosis has an effect on attractiveness.
It would be worthwhile to do a comprehensive study of race and attractiveness. Thankfully, we now possess reasonable genetic estimators of racial admixture and heterozygosity; hopefully someone will have the funds and will to use them.
Nonetheless the paper is useful because it reveals a real effect: what the explanation for this effect is remains to be seen.
Perception 39(1) 136 – 138
Why are mixed-race people perceived as more attractive?
Michael B Lewis
Previous, small scale, studies have suggested that people of mixed race are perceived as being more attractive than non-mixed-race people. Here, it is suggested that the reason for this is the genetic process of heterosis or hybrid vigour (ie cross-bred offspring have greater genetic fitness than pure-bred offspring). A random sample of 1205 black, white, and mixed-race faces was collected. These faces were then rated for their perceived attractiveness. There was a small but highly significant effect, with mixed-race faces, on average, being perceived as more attractive. This result is seen as a perceptual demonstration of heterosis in humans—a biological process that may have implications far beyond just attractiveness.

This sort of reminds me of an article that might be trumpeted in the post-Darwin press about footprints of man existing alongside dinosaurs.
There really is no need to debunk it from a scientific standpoint. Its obvious where its coming from.

Go to Latin America and Central Asia, find some mixed people (not hard) and test them for facial symmetry, height (compared to parent populations), and hip/waste ratio - breast size of women (especially compared to related parent populations, so Mongols/Turkics in Western Mongolia and China and Persians for Central Asians; Iberian, West Africans, and Amerindians for Latin Americans).
This should not be hard.
Measure African Americans that are heavily admixed vs average white Northwest Europeans and West Africans in the same fashion.

Mongols/Turkics in Western Mongolia and China
I would say Mongols/Turkics in Mongolia (including Chinese Mongolia) and in the Russian territory immediately north of Mongolia (excluding Altaians, who are somewhat hybrid). Uyghurs in northwestern China should be included in hybrid Central Asian populations.
I would also include south Russians and Ukrainians, who genetically have very strong Sarmatian/Scythian roots, as a third parent population.

Dieneke, the reason why I delete so many of my comments is editing, not late publishing. Unfortunately, blog format requires you to delete and republish your comments (in the edited form) in order to edit your comments. That is why I prefer forum format, which allows you to edit your comments without deleting them, and even if you delete them they disappear from the forum without leaving a trace.

Dragon Horse:
You are suggesting that female attractiveness is merely an artifact of body shape and facial symmetry.
While I wouldn't argue thay these factors don't have an effect, it is clear that attractiveness is as much a social construct as an inherent quality. Otherwise standards of beauty would be constant, rather than variable over space, population and time. There is also room for individual subjective preference.
You aren't an evolutionary psychologist by any chance, are you? :-)
Dienekes is correct in identifying the sampling errors in this research, but even with a perfectly random sample, this research could only tell us about the standards of beauty held by an individual population or society.

Mixed-raced people are more are more attractive?
Compared to who?
Many true Blacks don't favor lighter people,nor do they like string or soft hair.
Most Whites normally like their own,even though they'll sleep with anybody.Both groups might like one 'special' person in another race,but not all the others,which is a comment I hear often. Asians well I don't know anything about them...they're just foreign.

The interactive center of physical phenomena ExperimentariumTM was created through the partnership between two prestigious universities from Timisoara: Politehnica University Timisoara and West University from Timisoara. The ExperimentariumTM laboratory is addressed to young people, pupils or students, who wish to conduct the most diverse Physics experiments.
The purpose of the ExperimentariumTM center is to make science more visible, tangible and accessible through learning methods synthetized as "experience yourself". The proposed instruments and experiments allow the participants to become active explorers increasing their confidence in their capacity to understand the functioning of the universe.
The activity of the center promotes a culture of experimentation and cooperation, sparks the curiosity, and increases understanding and stimulated new ideas. Through experiments the participants discover and understand physics phenomena and laws.
The ExperimentariumTM center provides a great framework for socializing, groups of teenagers being able to spend some time together capitalizing their common passion for scientific knowledge. In this center, parents together with their children have the opportunity to discover together physics phenomena and discussed what they observed. The laboratory is normal part of the continuous and ongoing education process.
In this laboratory the visitors are guided through a world of experiments through a number of tutors who are ready to offer additional explanations and help in case of necessity.

Before=remote-fs-pre.target
DefaultDependencies=no

[Service]
ExecStart=/sbin/rpcbind -f -w
KillMode=process
Restart=on-failure

[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target
Alias=portmap

and enabled above unit:
# systemctl enable rpcbind.service

Create /etc/systemd/system/nfs-common.service:
[Unit]
Description=NFS Common daemons
Wants=remote-fs-pre.target
DefaultDependencies=no

[Service]
Type=oneshot
RemainAfterExit=yes
ExecStart=/etc/init.d/nfs-common start
ExecStop=/etc/init.d/nfs-common stop

[Install]
WantedBy=sysinit.target

Enable it with:
# systemctl enable nfs-common

Presumably, that should do the trick for CentOS as well.
It also looks like there is a newer version of rpcbind-0.2.3, which has native systemd support, but haven't try it...

A: On centos 7.4, simple fix:
Create file: /etc/systemd/system/nfs-client.target.d/10-rpcbind.conf with the following contents:
[Unit]
Wants=rpcbind.service

disable and reenable rpcbind
sudo systemctl disable rpcbind
sudo systemctl enable rpcbind

restart

Kamelenrace is een populaire sport in Australië, het Midden-Oosten en Afrika. Professionele kamelenraces zijn, net als paardenraces, evenementen voor mensen die willen wedden en voor het toerisme.

Kritiek
Het kamelenracen is in het begin van deze eeuw in het nieuws gekomen omdat er in het Midden-Oosten veel kleine jongens als rijders voor deze sport gebruikt werden. Deze worden door mensenrechtenorganisaties als kindslaven beschouwd. De jongens kwamen uit Zuid-Azië, voornamelijk Bangladesh en Pakistan. Er bestond eigenlijk een voorschrift met betrekking tot een minimumgewicht van vijfenveertig kilo, maar er waren in het Midden-Oosten slechts weinig mensen die zich daar om bekommerden.

Robotjockeys
In het begin van 2005 is er een plan ontwikkeld om robot-jockeys te gebruiken. Met voortvarendheid is dit plan verder in daden omgezet. In 2008 worden in Dubai kamelenraces (eigenlijk dromedarissen, zie onder) gehouden waarbij achter op de rug van de dromedaris een klein, soms als poppetje verkleed, kastje zit vastgebonden, waarin een ontvangertje zit voor radiosignalen. Naast deze ontvanger bevat dit kastje ook nog een elektromotor, waarmee een kleiner of groter zweepje wordt aangedreven. Naast het grootste deel van de racebaan loopt een brede asfaltweg waarover driedubbeldik de auto's de race begeleiden, vergelijkbaar met de fietsers die tijdens roeiwedstrijden meerijden. Er is echter een groot verschil. In de auto's zitten, behalve autobestuurders, de bestuurders van de dromedarissen. Via hun zendertjes regelen zij het aantal klapjes met de zweep. Bij de starts kan men nog wel bereden kamelen zien. Deze doen echter niet mee aan de race.

Trivia
 Meestal wordt in de kamelenrace gereden op dromedarissen. De verwarring komt doordat in het Engels de naam camel of Arabian camel voor de dromedaris wordt gebruikt, hoewel hij in het Engels officieel dromedary heet.
 Kamelenrace is een balspel op de kermis.
